Chapter 134: The Elder Princess's Expectation

Yang Jun sat in the Elder Princess's Manor, looking at Yun Fengyue before him, and couldn't help but furrow his brows.

Yun Fengyue still had that infinitely charming appearance; at this moment, she was teasing the tea stove, slowly brewing tea.

【This woman, is she sick? She summoned me so urgently just for this?】

【Brewing tea is an artistic endeavor that needs an audience, but surely not to this extent? Or is it because her covetous thoughts and designs toward me have finally become unbearable?】

Yang Jun had just finished his practice at the Sky Lofts Pavilion when he received the news of Yun Fengyue's summons.

This matter certainly couldn't be delayed; Yang Jun ended his cultivation.

He hurried over and arrived at the Elder Princess's Manor.

He originally thought it would be some earth-shattering major event.

Who would have thought that after waiting here for half a day, the result would be like this?

This Yun Fengyue was still leisurely fussing with the thing in her hand, showing not a trace of anxiety.

Yun Fengyue smiled; Yang Jun's inner voice made her feel somewhat amused.

This kid, while appearing extremely cautious in demeanor, still showed a certain loveliness in his actions.

"Have some tea, try it?"

"Brewing tea also takes time; if the time isn't right, it won't taste good."

A cup of tea was poured in front of Yang Jun.

Yun Fengyue gave a slight smile and sat upright.

"Of course, of course, good things come after hardship."

Yang Jun responded with a smile; he had originally wanted to appear refined and elegant, but drinking the tea he gulped it down in one go, truly a hearty swig.

"I don't know why the Elder Princess summoned me; what is the matter?"

Yang Jun had no patience to wait longer on this matter.

So, at this point, he hurriedly spoke up to ask first.

"Yang Jun, young man, you still need to be patient and restrain your temper."

Yun Fengyue, however, laughed and shook her head; although she said those words, in reality she actually appreciated Yang Jun's temperament the most.

"Young people ought to have the demeanor of youth."

"Being greedy for wealth and lustful while cherishing life—that's what a normal person is."

"Appearing steady, yet there are times when one throws caution to the wind."

"As a young person, one must possess everything that youth entails."

"Instinctively, one has one's own ideas, one's own foundation."

Yun Fengyue greatly dislikes those with deep scheming; lacking the youthful demeanor, they merely seek to obtain everything at any cost, leaving only an uncontrollable situation.

"This matter is not what Yun Fengyue wishes."

"Here, take a look and see if you can make use of it."

Yun Fengyue spoke those words while still moving.

As she spoke, she took out a small booklet and handed it to Yang Jun.

Yang Jun took the booklet with a dazed expression, but at a glance his eyes widened.

"This, this is exactly what he needed most!"

In the Imperial Autumn Hunting Grounds, the detailed site map is completely printed in this booklet.

And what shocked Yang Jun most was the level of detail in the booklet's contents.

Everything is recorded very meticulously.

Originally in Yang Jun's mind, the Royal Hunting Grounds were heavily guarded, with hardly any loopholes.

Yet under this booklet, they were completely exposed.

Only with this booklet does it mean that everything here can be disregarded.

Easily, one can find countless breach points.

"Elder Princess?"

Yang Jun held this thing, yet felt somewhat nervous inside.

"This thing has already far exceeded its own value."

"Although it is merely a small booklet."

"But in reality, this thing could not have been drawn without years of operation and careful surveying."

"This is not merely a terrain map of the Royal Hunting Grounds; it nearly encompasses all the terrain within a hundred-li radius of the Capital City."

"This is a strategic map; should any war truly break out, mastering the terrain would absolutely give the advantage!"

"The Royal Hunting Grounds, of course, are included as well!"

"Such terrain maps are actually quite common."

"For the autumn hunt and spring hunt, the imperial relatives always produce some terrain maps."

"But mine are just a bit more detailed."

"I know you asked Xi Yue for this kind of map; now I give it to you—how do you feel?"

Yun Fengyue gave a faint smile, her expression calm.

Looking at Yang Jun's demeanor before her, she was very pleased with this state.

This lets her control all of this.

"This is also her favorite way of acting."

"What she dislikes most is when everything is uncontrollable."

"As long as the situation can be under her control, she stands high above, looking down upon all beings, watching everyone follow her arrangements and obey her demands."

These things are indeed what should be.

Very good, thank you.

Elder Princess, Your Highness, your preparations here are truly quite ample.

Yang Jun spoke with a smile; these situations indeed show that Yun Fengyue has put a lot of thought into them.

It has long been said that Yun Fengyue intends to rebel.

Now it seems she has indeed made ample preparations for these matters.

Based on such thoughts and views, what should be paid more attention to is grasping the timing.

Some things just need to be well prepared.

Just like brewing tea, you need to endure and have patience; only then will the tea be fragrant.

However, looking at it now, everything is fairly settled; only lacking someone to drink tea together.

You just had a cup; would you like another? How do you feel?

Yun Fengyue smiled at Yang Jun; her bright expression was most alluring.

Yang Jun, hearing that, was slightly taken aback.

Is this an invitation for me to join?

So blatantly, without any concealment?

Indeed, Yun Fengyue has already allied herself with my father.

Now that my father has refused, she eagerly pulled me in.

Perhaps in her view, my joining is equivalent to my father joining.

Yang Jun still needs to carefully observe such matters.

Of course, it's not that Yang Jun clings to some loyalist patriotism.

Most importantly, he himself must see the situation clearly and discern the issues distinctly.

Faced with these major events, whether they benefit him and how much benefit he can gain.

Such matters are truly what matter.

Elder Princess, I am rather coarse.

Whether good tea or bad tea, to my mouth it's just water that quenches thirst.

Someone like me would let down your kind intentions.

Yang Jun smiled again slightly.

These matters, my observation, are a great opportunity to place a bet.

Like a gambler, one must still check the wind direction, see what things are advantageous and beneficial to oneself.

Only by betting at the most appropriate moment can one possibly gain what one most desires.

Otherwise, if one bets hastily and loses, even the chance to turn things over will be gone!
