Reborn: Femme Fatale First Daughter

Chapter 667 Princess Caifeng’s Invitation

Princess Caifeng’s invitation was sent at noon when Mo Xuetong was taking a medicated bath. There was already rustling autumn wind. Mo Xuetong felt that her body was heavier than usual and she usually felt a little dizzy, but she did not dare to show it in front of Feng Yuran.

She was very clear about the poison in her body. If it was really so easy to remove it, how could her mother die? At that time, her mother was in the prime of life, but she could not survive it. It could be seen that the poison was not so easy to detoxify. A few imperial physicians in the palace didn’t even diagnose that she was poisoned. The doctors that Feng Yuran had hired for her had not really treated her.

They could just keep the situation from getting worse. Mo Xuetong could see it clearly, but she did not stop Feng Yuran from looking for doctors everywhere for her. She could not let Feng Yuran feel hopeless. Sometimes, when she woke up from her dreams, she saw him hugging her under the lamplight and staring at her gently.

His devilish and wildly arrogant eyes were filled with deep affection and intense pain!

He was totally different from the person who did not care about anything in front of others. He laughed and cursed as if he did not care about the poison in her body at all. Mo Xuetong also chose to forget it as Feng Yuran did. She did not want to put too much pressure on him. Every time Feng Yuran brought her new medicine for bathing, Mo Xuetong would always soak happily in it.

After taking a bath, she would give some advice! For example, if the medicated bath smelled too strong, she would ask if she could put some flowers and leaves in it to dispel the smell of medicine as it could calm her mind and maybe the effect would be better.

Feng Yuran smiled and told her that he could consider it. Then, there were flowers floating on the bath water the next day.

Neither of them seemed to take it seriously. They teased each other from time to time, as if this matter was insignificant. Mo Xuetong knew that Feng Yuran had been trying to find an antidote. Even though she did not have any hopes for this, Feng Yuran’s hidden pain would remind her of the Yan Kingdom. Would there really be an antidote in the distant Yan Kingdom?

Maybe there really was an antidote!

Maybe Feng Yuran would really find it!

Maybe there would be news soon...

All this speculation had lessened her discomfort a little. There was a faint sweetness in her heart and a slight smile on her lips. She should believe him, right? He had been looking for the antidote for her. She believed that as long as there was such an antidote in the world, he would definitely find it!

He was so persistent in looking for it...

After the medicated bath, she felt better. At least, she didn’t look as sick as her mother did. Wasn’t all of this because of Feng Yuran? She hoped that she could stay with him forever. She choked up as she felt sweet...

Mo Lan helped her sit down in front of the dressing table. Then she dried her hair with a dry towel while pointing at the pink invitation beside, asking, “My Lady, this is an invitation from Princess Caifeng to the banquet the day after tomorrow. Would you like to accept the invitation?”

“Princess Caifeng!” Mo Xuetong appeared lazy. Her beautiful and exquisite face was filled with a carefree charm. She leaned against the dressing table and reached out to take the invitation from Mo Yu. She opened it and had a look. Her beautiful eyes were tired and she looked like a cat that had not woken up. Her long lashes fluttered above her charming eyes.

“Has Miss Hu really recovered?”

“According to what I heard, yes. She almost recovered when they moved there. She should have completely recovered these days.” Mo Ye replied. Then, she handed another dry towel to Mo Lan to replace the wet one in her hand.

Hu Qianyue had just recovered, and Princess Caifeng sent an invitation to invite people to attend the banquet. They were in the Qin Kingdom. Even if Princess Caifeng was a princess, she was still a princess of the Southern Barbarian Lands. Furthermore, she was going to marry King Ning, Feng Yuzhen, in a month. She was not in a hurry to prepare for her wedding, but instead, she invited people to attend the banquet. She was so carefree.

Mo Xuetong glanced at the invitation card and asked lazily, “Who are the people she invited?”

Mo Ye thought for a moment and replied. “I heard that she has invited madams and young ladies from different manors. Anyway, all noble ladies and madams should have been invited!” Princess Caifeng would hold a rather big banquet. It was said that she wanted to praise the friendship between the two countries. It would not be easy for others to refuse since the banquet concerned the relationship between the two countries.

“Go and see what will happen.” Mo Xuetong smiled sweetly. Princess Caifeng had already lost interest in Feng Yuran after being threatened by him. As such, She should no longer be hostile to Mo Xuetong. As for Hu Qianyue, she had already taken a big stand as she moved out of King Xuan’s Manor.

If she really wanted to make things difficult for her, it would be best for her to be ill in King Xuan’s Manor. After all, Hu Qianyue was also concerned in the marriage of the two countries. If something were to really happen to her in King Xuan’s Manor, Feng Yuran might be okay, but the “weak” Consort Xuan would be in the teeth of the storm.

Hu Qianyue was smart enough to understand all of this. Therefore, since she had moved out, she would not target Mo Xuetong. Mo Xuetong was very interested in this kind of banquet that was purely for watching. Of course, this was on the premise that she would not bring trouble to herself. Or perhaps, it was on the premise that no one was trying to plot against others and Mo Xuetong hadn’t been misled.

The banquet was more likely to deal with the Sixth Princess!

Mo Xuetong was really looking forward to it!

She had been tricked by the Sixth Princess for no reason. It seemed that she had a feud with the Sixth Princess and Imperial Noble Consort Wen again. Mo Xuetong was still very unhappy about it.

“My Lady, will His Highness go with you?” Mo Lan still had a lingering fear from the last banquet, so she asked about Feng Yuran subconsciously.

“When you received the invitation, who sent it to you?” Mo Xuetong smiled slightly.

“It’s Feng Yue!” Mo Lan’s face flushed and she replied uneasily. Feng Yue was very diligent when it came to work about the inner courtyard. Even though he did not make it clear, Mo Lan knew his meaning.

Mo Xuetong chuckled. She turned around and sized up Mo Lan carefully. Mo Lan could not bear her gaze, and her usually cold face became redder and redder. She stomped her feet and said coyly, “My Lady...”

“My Lady, don’t look at Mo Lan anymore. Just now, Mo Lan’s face had turned red because of others’ gaze. If you continue to look at her like this, she will burn,” Mo Yu teased. She had seen it clearly earlier. The guard leader, who had always been brave, looked at Mo Lan affectionately and Mo Lan, who had always been calm, was blushing.

There must be something going on between them!

“Mo Yu, you’re talking nonsense again. He was just talking about His Highness’s questions about Her Lady. There’s nothing else. Don’t think too much.” Mo Lan’s clumsy denial resulted in self-exposure. After she finished her words, she realized that everyone’s eyes were filled with ridicule. She felt shy and lowered her head subconsciously.

“Alright, alright. Mo Lan will be angry if you continue to say that.” Mo Xuetong smiled awkwardly as she tried to smooth things over. “Feng Yue was just taking the opportunity to take a look. What are you talking about? It sounds as if he didn’t do anything serious and has come specially to visit Mo Lan.”

Her words were even more explicit than what Mo Yu had said. Mo Lan’s face turned so red that it could even make sesame seed cake on her cheeks. She glared at Mo Xuetong angrily and said, “My Lady, why are you talking nonsense with Mo Yu?”

Originally, she wanted to pretend to be dignified and serious. However, she was blushing, shy and annoyed, and her words did not sound imposing at all, but made all the people present laugh. Looking at Mo Lan’s increasingly red face, Mo Xuetong knew that she should stop. She thought the two were perfect couple, but Mo Lan was so shy that if she continued to talk, she would really run away.

“Let’s get down to business, let’s get down to business. Look at you, you all talked nonsense. I’ve decided to notice a young man for you in case you refuse to work hard.” Mo Xuetong held back her laughter and coughed softly. She pointed at the three people in front of her intentionally and blinked her lively eyes.

As soon as she finished speaking, Mo Lan was not the only one who was blushing!

“My Lady...”

“Let’s get to it. The invitation was sent by Feng Yue, so His Highness has already seen it. His Highness has seen it because the guard sent the invitation to His Highness. The guard sent the invitation to His Highness instead of sending it directly to the inner courtyard, meaning that Princess Caifeng also sent an invitation to His Highness, so His Highness should go with me.”

Mo Xuetong announced the result with a serious expression, but she could not hide the lively smile in her eyes.

“Wow, My Lady, you are so amazing that you can speculate it.” Mo Yu opened her mouth, and her eyes were full of admiration. Since she woke up in Cloud City, Mo Xuetong had become completely different. She was not only smart, but also had her own ideas and plans.

How could they, as maidservants, not admire such a master!

At the same time, they felt lucky. If their master was still the same as before, in the end, even her bones would not be left. Therefore, fortunately, their master had changed and was no longer weak and easy to bully. Only in this way could they have a day to see that those who tried to hurt their master would not have a good ending.

Feng Yuran came in the evening and it was rare for him to come before the lights were lit. He asked servants to prepare food as soon as he entered the yard. He shouted that he was hungry. Mo Lan and the others hurried to give orders. Since King Xuan was here, they should go away. He was very possessive about Consort Xuan. So, they didn’t have to serve them.

“Why haven’t you had dinner yet? I’m really hungry.” The man was still talking non-stop when he entered Mo Xuetong’s room.

“Usually you’re not here at this time. It’s really early today,” Mo Xuetong said lazily. Feng Yuran had always been busy, so it wasn’t usual for him to come at this time. Could it be that he had something to talk to her?

Her long hair was casually scattered on her shoulders, which made her pink and tender face as charming as jade. The slightly raised corners of her eyes added a hint of natural charm to her originally pure and beautiful eyes.

She leaned against the couch and read the book in her hand. Her casual look appeared very adorable.

“Are you blaming me for coming too early today?” Feng Yuran raised his brows and glared at Mo Xuetong.

“How would I dare? However, you’re usually very busy. You have never come to eat at this time. You can’t blame all the young and old maidservants for not treating you well.” Mo Xuetong glanced at him from the corner of her eyes.

“Tong’er, do you want me to come to accompany you so early every day?” Feng Yuran sat on the chair and looked at Mo Xuetong with his chin propped up. There was a hint of tease in his enchanting and handsome eyes.

“I didn’t say that. You’re a busy man. How could I dare to ask for so much from you? When I heard that you were here, I was so happy that I asked servants to prepare the dinner immediately.”

“Oh, Tong’er, you really want me to accompany you.” Feng Yuran laughed loudly and suddenly stood up. He did not seem to be so hungry that he could not move at all. He picked up Mo Xuetong and brought her into his embrace. Then, he moved close to kiss her.

This man was really casual. He did whatever he wanted. Mo Xuetong did not expect him to be like this and she was shocked. Then, she pushed him away in embarrassment and annoyance. He had made a big noise right now. Furthermore, it was still daylight now. Even though there were no maidservants in the room, there was more than one standing outside. “Feng Yuran, I will be angry if you keep making a noise!”
