A Foodie Transmigrated into the Palace-Chapter 888: Farewell

"Right, Fengfeng?!"

The Fifth Master lightly tugged her sleeve.

Hai Feng lowered her head.

The anger inside her dared not be expressed. She managed a crooked smile and vaguely replied yes.

Prince Jin sighed in relief and nodded.

"Then this old man can rest assured!"

"Fengfeng, once you’re married, you can’t be reckless anymore. You must serve your husband well!"

"Prince Zhe is a talented man, skilled in both literature and martial arts, well-rounded inside and out. He certainly won’t let you down!"

"Do you hear me?!"

Hai Feng lowered her head even further.

"I understand, Father!"

Prince Jin nodded with satisfaction, smiling.

Beside him, King Western Xia also laughed.

"There’s a saying in the Central Plains, ’fate brings people together from far away!’"

"And another, ’it takes a hundred years of cultivation to cross a river in the same boat, and a thousand years to share a pillow!’ "

"Your union is a rare fate, you must cherish it well!"

"Strive to... expand your branches and leaves soon!"

King Western Xia patted the Fifth Master on the shoulder.

The Fifth Master bowed slightly, responding modestly.

Hai Feng also lowered her head.

Instinctively, she touched her still aching belly, looking quite uneasy.

’Must expanding branches and leaves always be so... painful??’

She was lost in thought.

The Fifth Master lightly pulled her again.

"Let’s go inside!"

Hai Feng was somewhat displeased, glaring at him.

She discreetly shook off his hand and went inside by herself.

The Fifth Master appeared helpless, shaking his head slightly, and went inside too.

This scene fell right into Prince Jin’s eyes.

He said nothing but sighed inwardly.

’Fengfeng’s temper really is...’

...

The midday meal was a joyous occasion.

King Western Xia and Prince Jin prepared a fine feast to entertain the Fifth Master and the Commandery Princess.

The Fifth Master did not refuse.

During the feast, there was much laughter and cups exchanged, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.

Hai Feng, however, kept her head down and spoke little.

Prince Jin felt somewhat displeased.

’Returning home after three days with such a sour face, as if someone owes her something?!’

’Wasn’t she the one who was adamant about getting married in the first place!’

’Now that she got what she wished for, she’s acting like this, what’s she doing?!’

King Western Xia also felt a bit puzzled.

But after all, she was his niece, and it wasn’t right to ask too much.

He could only pretend not to notice and continue entertaining the Fifth Master.

After lunch.

Prince Jin’s expression soured.

King Western Xia noticed something was amiss, thinking father and daughter might have something to say.

So he took the Fifth Master to play chess.

On this side.

Hai Feng was pulled by Prince Jin into his courtyard.

As soon as they entered and closed the door.

Prince Jin was furious, loudly reprimanding.

"Fengfeng!"

"Although Western Xia has some strength, it’s far from the Chu Dynasty!"

"Your father worked hard to arrange this and fulfill your wish to become Prince Zhe’s main wife."

"What else are you dissatisfied with?!"

"Returning home after three days with such a sour face, who are you showing it to?!"

Hai Feng couldn’t hold her grievance any longer, and with red eyes, she loudly retorted.

"Father, he’s not as good as he appears!"

"Behind the scenes, he’s ruthless and vicious, shameless and despicable, he..."

"Enough!"

Prince Jin struck her abruptly.

Hai Feng, caught off guard, took the hit.

Covering her face, she stared at Prince Jin, full of disbelief.

"Father, you hit me..."

Prince Jin felt uneasy being watched, glancing at his own hand, his heart filled with reluctance.

"Fengfeng, you..."

He raised his hand intending to hit again but couldn’t bring himself to do it, so he threw his hand aside, turning away in disappointment.

"Fengfeng, he’s your husband!"

"Moreover, you say he’s ruthless, how has he harmed you?"

"Aren’t you fine?!"

"He..."

Hai Feng only uttered this word but couldn’t speak further.

She couldn’t possibly say.

He’s too rough in bed, but indeed...

Apart from that, he really hasn’t done anything too serious to her!

Damn, so cunning! She couldn’t even make a complaint!

Hai Feng stomped her foot in frustration, but remained helpless!

Prince Jin sighed, his tone softening.

"Enough!"

"Your father knows you still like that Emperor of Great Chu!"

"But the Emperor has three thousand beauties; marrying him, you would only be a concubine!"

"Prince Zhe is different; you are now the main wife!"

"Which is more important, weigh it properly!"

"In any case, don’t let your father see you like this again!"

After saying this, Prince Jin left.

Leaving only Hai Feng.

Her heart was full of grievance and anger, both conflicting emotions making her feel like she was going to explode.

"Such cunning methods, Zhao Junzhe, you just wait!"

After speaking fiercely, Hai Feng also left angrily.

...

In the carriage back to the residence.

The Fifth Master looked at the furious Hai Feng, feigning confusion.

"Princess Consort, what’s wrong with you?"

"Could it be that seeing family has upset you?"

Hai Feng sneered, glaring at him twice.

"You’ve achieved your goal, what more do you want?"

The Fifth Master immediately frowned.

"Princess Consort, if you speak like this, then I’m not happy!"

"I have no other goals in my heart but you!"

"If there really is any goal, it would be... I wish to grow old together with you, Princess Consort!"

The final four words.

The Fifth Prince said them one by one, deliberate and biting.

Hai Feng was chilled by the words.

Her phoenix eyes widened, glaring at him furiously.

"Madman!"

The Fifth Master simply laughed.

He turned ahead, exhaling deeply.

"A hit is affection, a curse is love, it seems the Princess Consort is quite fond of me indeed!"

Hai Feng: "..."

...

Three days after the return home.

King Western Xia and Prince Jin stayed for another ten days or so.

It was not until the end of September that they finally set off back home.

Ye Tang.

No, now she should be called Hai Tang.

Hai Tang, as the only daughter of King Western Xia, had been granted the title of Princess.

So she had to leave with them.

’Leave’ - it sounds easy.

But when the time actually comes for departure, no one wants to go.

Hai Tang didn’t have many friends.

Mostly just Xia Tingfeng and the others.

But thinking of Xia Tingfeng, she felt a strange sensation within her heart.

She couldn’t quite explain it, but there was a sour and swollen feeling that made her very uncomfortable.

So up until the evening before departure.

She still wasn’t sure if she should go see him.

The night slowly fell.

She would be leaving tomorrow.

Hai Tang sat in the yard, feeling quite melancholic.

Better not to see him.

She didn’t belong here, and leaving quietly was the best!

Anyway...

She didn’t want to feel sad again.

With this thought, she felt relieved.

"Alright! This is good too!"

She smiled bitterly, raising her wine cup to the bright moon and drank it down.

A burning sensation like a knife moved down her throat, making her eyes red with tears.

At this moment.

There was a sound from the wall.

Then several figures dropped down, looked around, and walked towards her.

"Brother Ye?"

"Brother Ye, you’re drinking alone, that’s not fair!"

"Exactly! Why didn’t you invite us brothers!"

Ye Tang was startled.

Raised her head to look, it was Monster, Rat, and Tiger.

Her heart sank slightly, but also felt warm.

"What are you guys doing here?"

She got up, full of surprise.
