Reborn: Femme Fatale First Daughter (PART 2)

Chapter 399-400

Chapter 399 All With Their Own Ideas in the Princess Royal’s Manor

It was spring. All the followers bloomed in the Princess Royal’s Manor. Along the corridor, flowers blossomed in a riot of color. What a unique scenery among the corridors and pavilions. Six of them walked into the mall, as they laughed and talked.

Princess Royal arranged the banquet in the inner parlor. Because a few people attended it, and most were close relatives, there was no need to avoid any inconvenience. So the guests were served around one table in the middle of the parlor, chatting and talking with happiness.

Princess Royal sat at the head of the table, with Feng Yuxuan, Feng Yuzhen, and Feng Yuran sitting successively on her right hand while Ling Fengyan, Wang Yueyue, Mo Xuetong on the left. It was proper arrangement in the age order. Feng Yuran was most satisfied with it, because he and Mo Xuetong were the youngest, that was to say, sitting around the table, they could sit side by side finally according to the arrangement.

Feng Yuran said to Princess Royal smilingly, while he was serving Mo Xuetong’s favorite dish for her. “Aunt, you asked us to come here. Is there anything delicious today?”

Princess Royal pointed at the plate of watermelons in the middle of the table and said, “I know you like it. See, it is the fresh fruit given recently. Well, I give it to you first.” It was spring with blooming followers. Although it was late spring, it was not summer, and it was rare to have watermelons to eat.

“Father treats aunt so well. The fruit sent from the south is not easy to transport. It’s said that there are only a few baskets in the capital. And we even don’t have any of it, but aunt has. So please do not hide it today and just let us taste it.” Feng Yuran reached out his hand to take a slice from a little eunuch, gave it to Mo Xuetong, and then, he took another, took a bite and admired. “It does taste good. Father is so partial to aunt.”

“Has Feng Yuran not been given the watermelon?” Feng Yuxuan quietly withdrew his eyes. Although there were just a few watermelons sent from the south, Feng Yuxuan also got two. “How could Feng Yuran, the most favored prince not receive any? Would it be possible that Father Emperor did not like Feng Yuran, so he forgot to bestow Feng Yuran deliberately?”

At that moment, Feng Yuxuan could not guess what Emperor Zongwen thought.

On the other side, Feng Yuzhen also cast his skeptical gaze on Feng Yuran. But Feng Yuran, totally ignorant of the gaze, just ate the watermelon slice by slice bluntly. And only for a while, except several slices he took out for Mo Xuetong, he finished almost half of the watermelons in the plate.

“Eat as you wish. Is your father too serious? Even if he punishes you, he should not deduct your fruit.” Princess Royal shook her head smilingly and asked a servant to send the plate of watermelon in front of Feng Yuran.

“Aunt, when you go to the palace, you should tell Father how poor I am now. Just tell him I cannot eat or sleep well. I am so desperate for fruits that blisters appear in my mouth.” After putting the watermelon, Feng Yuran took on a pitiful look on his handsome face, his eyes flashing. What a poor look he pretended!

Mo Xuetong secretly jerked the corner of her mouth, thinking that the man was really an actor.

Yesterday it was Feng Yuran himself who finished half of a watermelon and still claimed it was not enough!

“I dare not tell your Father that you have blisters in the mouth. If you Father sees what you are now, perhaps he will beat you till you have blisters in the mouth.” When she Feng Yuran act like a spoiled child, Prince Royal’s heart softened and she teased him involuntarily. Although Prince Royal got used to living alone and was not close to people because of the secret of her life, Feng Yuran was a high-maintenance boy who got around her since childhood. So in Prince Royal’s heart, she thought more highly of Feng Yuran than Mo Xuetong, her natural niece.
