The Thirteenth Princess

Ten days after Duan Yunfei had left the palace, Yuwen Di had been looking forward for his return everyday. He had even specially instructed the guards of the Qian Qing sect to send someone to report to him immediately once she returned to the capital.

But even if he had already made the absolute preparations, Yuwen Di was still worried, afraid that he would miss the day Duan Yunfei would return to the palace.

From the tenth day onwards, Yuwen Di would go to the Red Luan Palace to sit for a while every single day. Without Duan Yunfei acting coquettishly in front of him, Yuwen Di felt that it was a little boring.

Duan Yunfei looked at Duan Yunfei's dressing table. The other princesses' dresser were filled with all kinds of accessories, but Duan Yunfei only had a few, and that was all she was doing.

Yuwen Di had previously bestowed a lot of jewelry to Duan Yunfei, but after seeing that Duan Yunfei did not like it, she changed the gold, silver, and jewelry to the collected weapon book Chess Index.

Without Duan Yunfei's laughter, the Red Luan Palace seemed very cold and lonely. Yuwen Di sat alone in Duan Yunfei's chamber as he talked to himself.

"Yuxin, are you going to blame me? I know this is all very sudden, but I'm also thinking for Yun Fei's sake. Yun Fei still doesn't understand the reason for me doing this. She is still blaming me, but what if she does not understand when she finds out the reason? Yuxin, if you were still here, you would definitely persuade Yun Fei. These few days, Zuo Yuanyuan and Wu Shan had brought Yun Fei out of the palace to relax, they seemed to have gone to Wu Dun. I remember that when you were alive, you wanted to go as well, but in the end … But now, Yun Fei will go in your place. I don't know if Yun Fei and the others are having fun in this industry, or if they will encounter any danger, but do you think that Zhen is worrying too much about it?

In this world, only in front of the Imperial Consort Duanshuo and Duan Yunfei, Yuwen Di didn't have to pretend to be him, but an emperor instead. After so long, Yuwen Di almost forgot how he looked like before he ascended the throne.

After he ascended the throne, Yuwen Di was always busy with government affairs, worried that one decision of his, which he had made incorrectly, would bring calamity upon everyone, worried that the officials under him would form a clique and take advantage of the corruption, worried that other countries would covet Jin Country's power.

Yuwen Di had always kept in mind his identity as the ruler of a country. Everyone in the world envied his haughtiness, but they didn't know the bitterness behind his actions.

Fortunately, Imperial Consort Duanshuo was always by Yuwen Di's side. Later, Duan Yunfei replaced Imperial Consort Duanshuo, and Duan Yunfei's smile was Yuwen Di's greatest motivation.

For the next few days, Yuwen Di came to the Red Luan Palace to wait for Duan Yunfei's return.

At this time, Yuwen Di was sitting in Duan Yunfei's chamber. The eunuch outside the room came in to report that Duan Yunfei had arrived at the capital.

Yuwen Di was overjoyed, but he was a little worried. If Duan Yunfei was still angry, then what should he do?

As soon as Duan Yunfei returned to the Red Luan Palace, she saw Yuwen Di waiting for her in the great hall. It seems like waiting for someone outside was such a feeling, Duan Yunfei was extremely touched.

In fact, Duan Yunfei had long thrown her grievances towards Yuwen Di out of the window on the day Wu Shan and Zuo Yuan had guided her into the palace. In the past few days when she was playing around with Wu Dun, Duan Yunfei had often thought of Yuwen Di. If only she had told Yuwen Di that she had calmed down after leaving the palace.

At this moment, Duan Yunfei seemed to have seen a few strands of white hair on Yuwen Di's head. And all of this was because of Duan Yunfei, a wave of regret surged through Duan Yunfei's heart.

"Father, your son is back." Duan Yunfei greeted Yuwen Di. This time, it was not a simple greeting, but Duan Yunfei kowtowed three times to Yuwen Di because of the guilt in her heart.

"Why are you still greeting me like that? Hurry up and get up." Yuwen Di was obviously shocked by Duan Yunfei's action, he immediately went forward to help her up.

"Your son is unfilial and caused your father to worry."

Hearing Duan Yunfei's words, Yuwen Di immediately understood in his heart, and waved his hand, allowing the palace maid s to leave, leaving the father and daughter pair behind.

"This matter, royal father has let you down. Royal Father knows that you are not satisfied with this negotiation, but Royal Father has no other choice. Yun Fei, you know how much Royal Father is reluctant to part with you, wanting to marry you off to someone else. In these few days, royal father has been thinking everyday, if your matriarch was still alive, would he blame royal father for arranging your marriage? " Yuwen Di lovingly caressed Duan Yunfei's face, with an apologetic expression, he told Duan Yunfei about her regret of the past few days.

Duan Yunfei had never been able to understand why Yuwen Di would be so anxious to marry him out, and while she was talking with Yuwen Di, she raised her puzzlement for the last ten odd days.

"Father, your son has always been confused. You said that you were reluctant to part with your son, so why are you still in such a hurry to discuss marriage?"

Yuwen Di had already guessed that Duan Yunfei would ask him this question a long time ago, but now was not the best time to tell him the reason.

"Yun Fei, Royal Father also has his own difficulties. As long as you trust Royal Father, then Royal Father will not make the bet for your lifetime of happiness."

Duan Yunfei knew that she wouldn't be able to get any information from Yuwen Di, so she decided to not ask anymore, so as to not hurt the relationship between the father and daughter again.

"Your son believes in royal father. Father, this is the green plum wine that I brought back from the Dark Dome. The taste is very good, so I wanted to bring it back for you to have a taste. Father took great care of everything and did not have the time to come to the people to take a look. This child then brought back the local customs and traditions of the people for you. "

Seeing that Duan Yunfei was still thinking about him after she left the palace, Yuwen Di was deeply moved and knew that Duan Yunfei was no longer angry.

"Yun Fei is really considerate. Coincidentally, you haven't had a drink with royal father in a long time. Why don't you take this opportunity to have a drink with me?"

Just as Yuwen Di was about to call the palace maid to bring over two wine cups, he was interrupted, "Let your son go get them."

After Duan Yunfei took the wine cup, the father and daughter pair drank together. This scene was exactly the same as what Duan Yunfei had seen at Wu Dun, a whole family happily sat together, drinking wine and eating while chatting. Wasn't this what Duan Yunfei had been yearning for all this time?

Duan Yunfei drank wine with Yuwen Di as she talked about everything she had seen and heard along the way, from Wu Dun's scenery to the manager and the boss' enthusiasm, to the bustle of the Lantern Festival and Xiao Yang's accidental injury.

Yuwen Di listened attentively. This was a trivial matter in Duan Yunfei's life that he had not heard about for a long time.
