Chapter 6: You Can't Guess the Princess's Thoughts

Your ability is too strong, I'm not at ease; now rest here peacefully, if you have any questions, I'll come find you anytime.

Yang Jun wore a serious expression, spoke, while putting away his bottles and jars, turned and left; behind him, Leng Qingyue couldn't hold on, her head tilted, and she fainted.

The most reassuring thing is a dead person, because a dead person won't speak, but you, you're still useful, so you fainting for a while is safest for me.

Yang Jun spoke while walking, his steps quickened as he moved forward.

Returning to his room, Yang Jun somewhat impatiently took out the secret manual and slowly unfolded it.

To cultivate this skill…

When he saw these words, Yang Jun's blood ran cold.

No way, I exhausted all my efforts, the thing I got in hand, could it be teaching me how to be a father-in-law?

Yang Jun was extremely unwilling and did not want to accept this result.

He reached out again with his hand, fully unfolding this page.

To cultivate this skill, one must first put in effort!

If not accomplished, all efforts come to nothing!

When Yang Jun unfolded this key page of the secret manual and looked at the 'peace' written above, he was stunned.

Hehe, hehe, hahaha!

After seeing all this clearly, Yang Jun laughed unrestrainedly; at the same time, he felt himself soaked from head to toe, inside and out.

…

At the same time, the capital of Great Xia, the imperial palace.

In the study, Great Xia Emperor Yun Fengyun held a book in his hand, his eyes keenly fixed on the Sixth Princess Yun Xiyue before him.

Yun Xiyue stood before the Great Xia emperor, unafraid and untroubled, instead revealing a charming smile.

Father Emperor, why are you staring at me like that?

Yun Xiyue spoke in a coquettish tone, acting cute toward the highest authority of the Great Xia Empire.

Xi Yue, what happened today, how should Father Emperor put it?

Yun Fengyun drew out his voice, sighed, and while speaking, reached out to rub his temples.

This matter, how should I deal with it again?

Logically and emotionally, given the situation's development and direction, it surely shouldn't be like this!

Father Emperor, what do you mean? Could it be that Xi Yue did something wrong?

Yun Xiyue spoke softly with a coquettish tone, her face flushed, but her eyes fixed on her father king, intending to find an opportunity and solution.

Xi Yue, shouldn't you give me an explanation?

Before, you were determined to break off the engagement, but later things seem different, right?

Yun Fengyun asked with a smile, his expression and demeanor even more so indicating he didn't see this as a problem.

Only his eyes, however, were burning as they fixed on Yun Xiyue before him, filled with curiosity and concern.

You've suddenly changed your mind, why? Isn't someone like Zhou Tian, a dragon among men, enough for you to approve?

Yun Fengyun spoke solemnly, his eyes still fixed on Yun Xiyue as he spoke.

This matter seems simple at first glance.

But in fact, it concerns the safety of Great Xia.

The Prince Pingxi mansion has always stood out, its prestige high.

Even within Great Xia, there is a saying that one cannot ignore who the Prince Pingxi is, not knowing the emperor.

So, courting a third party and suppressing the Prince Pingxi mansion has also become an unavoidable countermeasure.

Yun Xiyue clearly dislikes Yang Jun, has been clamoring to break off the engagement, yet now how has it become like this?

Father King, I merely feel that our understanding of Yang Jun is too one-sided!

Yun Xiyue said this, her face slightly blushing.

But, the fact that I can hear Yang Jun's thoughts—how could I easily say that?

Regarding this matter, she still feels somewhat surprised about that.

But, you don't want to break off the engagement, which might be understandable, but why did you slap Zhou Tian?

Yun Fengyun spoke again, with a puzzled expression.

Father Emperor, this matter truly cannot be blamed on me; he is merely a minor commander of the Imperial City Guard Phoenix Division, yet he repeatedly oversteps,

If I don't act against him, where would the imperial face be placed?

Yun Xiyue let out a cold snort, speaking displeased.

She clearly remembers everything that happened before.

In her memory, regarding those matters, Yang Jun's and Zhou Tian's actions form a stark contrast.

Nowadays, even without Yang Jun's thoughts, I could never bow to someone like Zhou Tian!

A minor commander actually dares to order this princess—what could be more intolerable!

But, you've always looked down on Yang Jun, haven't you?

Yun Fengyun blinked slightly, then spoke again, asking Yun Xiyue.

Father Emperor, perhaps we've misjudged, misunderstood Yang Jun; he is not as worthless as we thought, truly.

Yun Xiyue spoke solemnly, and while speaking, firmly nodded.

And this Zhou Tian, a minor commander of the Imperial City Guard Phoenix Division, full of himself, seems to think the palace would marry no one but him, and repeatedly threatens Yang Jun; a minor commander saying such things to the dignified Heir of Prince Pingxi—should that be allowed?

Yun Xiyue's face grew solemn, she immediately spoke, saying repeatedly.

At this moment, a hint of something unusual appeared in her eyes, and the scenes she had experienced before surfaced one by one in her mind.

All her past experiences are perfectly clear.

What kind of person he is, and how the outside world is, are completely clear.

Yun Fengyun gazed at his daughter, slightly stunned, then gave a light nod.

He also knows perfectly well the change in his daughter's attitude toward Yang Jun.

Before, whenever Yang Jun was mentioned, he would grit his teeth in displeasure.

But nowadays, those words seem to have grown much gentler!

"Xi Yue, you used to detest Yang Jun the most, didn't you?"

"But I've discovered that Yang Jun isn't so hateful after all!"

"Oh? Where did that come from? Go on, tell me, Your Majesty."

As they spoke, Yun Fengyun grew interested, subconsciously asking Yun Xiyue, his eyes glimmering with anticipation.

How could the famed decadence of the Prince Pingxi mansion possibly alter his own little princess's view?

"I used to dislike him, but now I see he isn't really that hateful."

Yun Xiyue looked solemn, speaking in a low voice; as she said this, she unconsciously nodded.

Yang Jun's actions now are indeed beyond Yun Xiyue's expectations.

Especially upon hearing Yang Jun's "inner voice," this was even more unexpected, causing her to involuntarily reassess where her opinion of Yang Jun had gone awry.

"Is that so? Then Xi Yue, could you elaborate?"

The Emperor of Xia looked curious, asking his daughter.
