in the afternoon.
The main hall of the front courtyard of Linhu Xiaozhu.
Unable to contain themselves, Xie Yu, Ye Baizhou, Jiang Fuhai, and the three treasurers of the three major workshops, a total of six people, came to request an audience with the Princess.
They've been waiting here for quite a while.
The tea has been replaced, but still no one is drinking it.
Jiang Fuhai sat at the head of the left, his fingers unconsciously stroking the rim of his teacup.
Xie Yu sat opposite him, her eyes lowered, her face revealing nothing.
Ye Baizhou looked serious, lost in thought.
Wang Ganju, Chen Youliang, and Zhang Shicheng, the treasurer of Bingfang, sat at the lower end of the table. The three of them would occasionally exchange a glance, and then quickly look away.
At this time.
Light footsteps could be heard outside the hall.
Everyone instinctively looked towards the outside of the main hall, where they saw the maid Chunmei gently supporting Li Yunrui as he walked in.
The six immediately stood up, bowed in unison, and said, "Greetings, Your Highness the Eldest Princess."
Li Yunrui changed into a plain white palace dress, and the curve of her waist was now very obvious.
Chunmei helped her to the main seat, and only then did she speak, her voice gentle: "Please get up, everyone."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
The six people straightened up.
Although they had seen her at the dock, seeing the princess's slightly protruding belly again still made them all look shocked.
Princess Xu's premarital pregnancy is no small matter. If not handled properly, it could become an excuse for some people with ulterior motives to attack her.
At that time, the eldest princess may not be able to protect herself, and everything they and Wu Feng planned will vanish into thin air.
Li Yunrui glanced at them, her gaze indifferent, as if she hadn't noticed their expressions.
She leaned back in her chair, one hand resting lightly on the armrest, her voice still gentle: "Tell me, what's wrong?"
The group looked at each other.
Zhang Shicheng, the treasurer of Bingfang, stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Your Highness, according to General Jiang's plan, the first batch of ten warships has been allocated to the three major Bingfang. The subsequent three batches of thirty ships will be allocated by early summer next year."
Li Yunrui nodded.
She turned her gaze to the others: "Where are the others? Is there anything else you want to say?"
Ye Baizhou stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Your Highness, the cooperation between Qingyutang and other forces has been fully launched. The first batch of goods is being shipped to various parts of Qing Kingdom, Northern Qi, and overseas. So far, everything is going smoothly."
Li Yunrui nodded again.
"You can handle these things yourselves," she said. "I won't interfere too much."
The two men acknowledged and withdrew.
While Li Yunrui was receiving Xie Yu and others in the front hall...
In Li Yunrui's room in the backyard.
Wu Feng sat cross-legged and silently chanted: System, open the panel.
A pale blue light screen appeared before my eyes.
[Host: Wu Feng]
[Identity: Li Yunrui's close and favored minister]
[Cultivation Level: Upper Seventh Rank]
[Exercise Method: Qi Stream]

Looking at the more than 40,000 emotion points, Wu Feng silently thought: System, consume 40,000 emotion points to conduct four rare lottery draws!
【ding~】
[40000 emotion points deducted, lottery in progress ————]
The panel shimmered with light.
In less than three breaths, the lottery results popped up.
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained: 2 Rare True Qi Pills, Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Technique, and Bright Jade Skill!]
Upon seeing the reward he had drawn, Wu Feng's eyes lit up instantly, and his breathing quickened.
I never expected my luck to improve so much after being touched by Li Yunrui's gentle touch today. I even managed to get the Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Technique.
He slowly suppressed his excitement, took out the two rare True Qi Pills from his inventory, and swallowed them in one gulp.
The elixir melted upon entering the mouth, and a surge of powerful true energy flowed into the limbs and bones, coursing through the meridians.
A few breaths later, a slight tremor came from within his body.
Eighth rank!
Wu Feng opened his eyes and let out a long breath.
Finally reached the eighth rank!
With his powerful and domineering true qi cultivated through the Qi Scripture, coupled with the Flying Willow and Light Smoke Technique and the Sweeping Thousands of Troops technique, as long as a Grandmaster doesn't take action, no one in the world will be his match.
Just as he was immersed in excitement, there was a gentle knock on the door.
"Lord Xiao Wu, His Highness requests your presence in the front courtyard," came Mei Gu's voice from outside the door.
Wu Feng replied, "I understand."
He got out of bed, straightened his robes, and went out the door.
The main hall in the front yard.
When Wu Feng walked in, Xie Yu and the others were still standing; no one had sat down.
Upon seeing him enter, the six men immediately bowed and greeted him as "Lord Wu."
"No need for formalities, everyone." Wu Feng nodded, walked straight to Li Yunrui's side, and asked softly, "Your Highness, what's wrong?"
'
Li Yunrui was sitting in the main seat. When she saw him coming over, she smiled gently.
She stood up and said softly, "It's nothing. I'm just a little tired. You can handle the rest."
Wu Feng reached out and gently supported her arm: "I understand, Your Highness. Please rest well."
Chunmei immediately stepped forward and supported Li Yunrui on the other side.
The two men helped Li Yunrui slowly walk out of the main hall, through the moon gate, and into the backyard.
Xie Yu, Ye Baizhou, Jiang Fuhai, Wang Ganju, Chen Youliang, and Zhang Shicheng stood in place, watching the figure in black disappear outside the door.
Only after the footsteps faded into the distance did the group turn their attention away.
Then, they looked at each other simultaneously.
Xie Yu's lips moved, but she didn't speak.
Ye Baizhou frowned, his eyes filled with shock.
Jiang Fuhai stood there, his hands still in the cupped-hands gesture, forgetting to lower them.
Wang Ganju and Chen Youliang exchanged a glance, then quickly looked away.
Zhang Shicheng opened his mouth as if to say something, but then swallowed it back.
Anyone who isn't blind could see what just happened clearly.
When Lord Wu was supporting the Princess, his hand was loosely wrapped around her waist.
And His Highness, he leaned against him so naturally.
That kind of intimacy was not how a servant should serve his master.
Xie Yu's mind raced.
Wu Feng — wasn't he a eunuch?
The main hall was so quiet that you could hear the rustling of leaves in the lake breeze outside.
Wu Feng walked back through the moon gate, his steps neither hurried nor slow.
He walked to the head seat and sat down in the chair that Li Yunrui had just sat in.
He glanced at the six people and said calmly, "Please be seated."
Xie Yu and the others stood still.
Wu Feng looked at them, his face expressionless.
"I know what you're thinking," he said. "Yes, Your Highness's child is mine."
The words fell.
The main hall was deathly silent.
Xie Yu's eyes widened instantly, and his lips parted slightly, as if someone had grabbed his throat.
Ye Baizhou's facial muscles twitched, and he froze on the spot.
Jiang Fuhai's hand, which he had forgotten to put down, finally fell down, very slowly, as if out of control.
Wang Ganju and Chen Youliang stared blankly at Wu Feng, their eyes glazed over.
Zhang Shicheng took half a step back and bumped into the chair behind him with a soft thud.
Six people, six faces, all with expressions of utter shock.
