Joy of Life: Starting by clinging to the eldest princess's coattails!

At the confluence of the Liujing River and the Wei River, the water surface suddenly widens.

The morning sun had fully spread out, turning the turbid river water into a shimmering gold.

On the dock, whether they were laborers, vendors, or passersby, everyone stopped what they were doing, knelt down in unison, and bowed their heads.

The official ship flying the flag of the Princess was slowly leaving the dock and turning its bow toward the main channel of the Wei River.

The black flag with gold trim fluttered in the river breeze.

Li Yunrui stood at the bow of the boat.

Today she wore a dark-colored casual dress, the soft silk clinging to the curves of her increasingly fuller figure.

A black velvet cloak was loosely draped over her shoulders, the velvet making her face appear even whiter and more delicate.

A river breeze blew, ruffling a few stray hairs by her cheek.

She gazed at the vast Wei River ahead, a gentle smile playing on her lips, but her eyes shone with an indescribable, almost triumphant light.

Chunmei and Meigu stood half a step behind her and exchanged a glance discreetly.

Your Highness looks far too good today...

Her face was like a lotus blossom, flushed with rouge, and the languid charm in her eyes seemed to have been moistened by water; even her lips were more rosy than usual.

She looked like a flower that had been carefully watered at night and bloomed with dew in the morning.

Mei Gu muttered to herself.

Could it be that Wu Feng has really returned, and Your Highness is finally at ease?

Chunmei thought about it more deeply.

Has Wu Feng become so important to His Highness? His Highness's spirits have improved considerably since Wu Feng returned.

The two of them turned around at the same time and looked towards the cabin.

Wu Feng happened to be carrying out a recliner covered with soft cushions.

He gently placed the chair behind Li Yunrui.

Chunmei watched and sighed softly to herself.

Being pampered...it's so nice.

No matter what Wu Feng does, His Highness will not say anything. Even if Wu Feng does something outrageous and against the rules, His Highness will just watch with indulgence.

She even had a fleeting thought: should she... privately seek advice from Wu Feng?

"Your Highness," Wu Feng's voice interrupted Chunmei's thoughts, "the boat is about to enter the Wei River, so please sit still."

Li Yunrui did not turn around.

She simply raised her slender, fair hand gently.

Wu Feng immediately stepped forward, reached out to support her wrist, and with his other hand steadily supported her elbow, carefully helping her slowly sit into the recliner.

The movements were natural and skillful.

After Li Yunrui sat down, Wu Feng turned around and went back to the cabin.

Before long, he brought out a low table with a jade dish on it, filled with washed grapes.

"Your Highness," Wu Feng picked up a grape and held it to Li Yunrui's lips, "have some grapes. I've tried them, they're very sweet."

Li Yunrui didn't open her mouth.

She tilted her head slightly, her alluring eyes glancing at Wu Feng, the corners of her eyes slightly upturned: "Little Wu, you're increasingly disregarding me."

"I haven't even eaten yet, and you've already started eating?"

She's had another attack.

Wu Feng chuckled inwardly.

He met Li Yunrui's captivating eyes, his expression serious: "Your Highness is right, I indeed did not take Your Highness seriously."

The deck fell silent instantly upon hearing this.

The standing maids all stared wide-eyed, holding their breath.

The boatmen kept their heads down, their shoulders trembling slightly, afraid that the princess's anger would fall on them.

Li Yunrui, however, still wore that gentle smile on her face, quietly watching Wu Feng, waiting for him to continue.

Wu Feng put down the grape, then suddenly reached out and grabbed Li Yunrui's hand, which was resting on the armrest, into his own palm.

I gripped it tightly.

"Because I always keep Your Highness in my heart," he said, looking into her eyes, his voice low and clear.

Chunmei, who was standing next to her, almost lost her balance.

How...how is she supposed to learn this?!

It's better not to fight for this favor! There's no way I can win anyway!

Li Yunrui's hand trembled slightly in his palm.

"How...how dare you!" She tried to pull her hand back, but Wu Feng held it tightly, and she couldn't break free with her meager strength. "Let go of me..."

Her voice was soft and lacked any intimidation.

Her cheeks flushed crimson at a visible speed, spreading from her cheeks all the way to her ears.

[Ding~ Mood points +180!]

If this is in the palace, it is in her Guangxin Palace.

Since Wu Feng dared to say those things to her, she would definitely drag this audacious little man into her bedchamber immediately and punish him properly.

But we're on a ship now.

Although even the boatmen on the ship were trusted confidants, none of them knew the true nature of Wu Feng's relationship with her.

As the eldest princess, to have her hand held like that and hear those words spoken by this young man in front of so many outsiders...

That familiar thrill, a mixture of humiliation and excitement, crept back up again.

Wu Feng seemed oblivious to her embarrassment and anger, and picked up another grape, offering it to her full, red lips.

"Your Highness," he coaxed, "these grapes are really sweet. Please try one. If you eat it, I'll let go."

Li Yunrui glared at him angrily.

There was no anger in his eyes; instead, they were alluring and seductive.

She finally opened her lips slightly, reluctantly, and gently bit the grape with her pearly teeth.

But Wu Feng didn't let up.

He was still holding the other end of the grape with his fingers, his gaze fixed on her moist lips.

Li Yunrui instantly understood what he meant.

Her eyelashes fluttered, she gently bit off half a grape, chewed it carefully a couple of times, and swallowed it.

Wu Feng then released his grip and put the remaining half of the grape, still slightly damp with the glistening moisture from her lips, directly into his own mouth.

He chewed it and nodded.

"Hmm..." He looked at her, his eyes serious, "So sweet."

[Ding~ Mood points +180!]

Li Yunrui's face turned even redder, and even her neck flushed a light pink.

[Ding~ Mood points +280!]

"Your Highness," Wu Feng picked up another one, "have one more."

This time, Li Yunrui took a bite directly.

Even Wu Feng's fingers.

She didn't leave him even half a grape, but put the whole grape in her mouth and ate it quickly.

"Get out of here." She lowered her voice, which was soft and seductive, with a hint of lingering anger. "I don't want to see you right now."

Although it's very exciting...

But there are too many people here.

Although the maids had their heads down, she knew they were all watching secretly.

The feeling of being watched made her almost unable to suppress the secret excitement in her heart, but she also felt uncomfortable.

Wu Feng put his finger in his mouth and gently sucked on the grape juice that was on it.

Then he released Li Yunrui's hand and stood up.

"Yes, Your Highness." His tone was as usual. "Then I'll go cultivate. Please call me if you need anything."

After saying that, he walked to the very front of the bow of the ship, sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to meditate and regulate his breathing.

A river breeze swept by, causing his clothes to flutter.

Li Yunrui sat in the recliner, her cheeks glowing and flushed, as if she had applied the finest rouge.

She watched Wu Feng's straight back, her full chest rising and falling slightly, her breathing a little faster than usual.
