536: Grandfather Feng and Father Feng Come to a Decision
“Cough...” Juntian stood at the doorway awkwardly coughing to make his presence known. His face was dark and he was not in a good mood. He was unhappy his younger sister, who he had brought up with great difficulty, was being taken away by a wolf.
Juntian gritted his teeth as he spoke. “Prince Ming Xi, Grandfather Feng invites you to meet in the front hall.”
This bastard was trying to abduct his sister. It didn’t matter the guy’s status, Juntian just couldn’t put a welcoming expression on his face.
Ming Xi had released Feng Wu when he felt someone approaching, but he was not fast enough; Juntian still witnessed their kiss.
Feng Wu’s eyes were wide. She didn’t understand what was happening. Why was her brother also in her dream?
“Brother?” Feng Wu asked with eyes full of uncertainty.
Juntian walked over and squeezed Ming Xi out so he could sit down on the edge of the bed himself.
He patted Feng Wu’s head as he said, “I’ve asked Qing’er to carry Xiao Ye to Mother. You must not have slept well last night. Sleep a little longer if you’re tired. Brother will keep watch outside your door.”
Juntian, who always appeared cold and unapproachable to outsiders, was quite gentle when talking to his sister. It would have made people outside drop their jaws in shock.
Feng Wu rubbed her eyes then touched her flat belly. “Hungry.” This was not a dream.
“Big Brother already had someone prepare your favorite dishes for breakfast. Do you want it served now?” Juntian’s eyes were full of love as he touched Feng Wu’s head.
Ming Xi: Am. . . I being ignored?
“Hm!” Feng Wu nodded. Her eyes involuntarily drifted to Ming Xi.
This made Ming Xi grin. “Eat first, I’ll come see you again later.”
“OK.” Feng Wu nodded.
Satisfied, Ming Xi left Feng Wu’s room and went to the front hall to meet with Grandfather Feng.
After watching Ming Xi leave, Feng Wu looked to her brother eagerly waiting for food.
The cute expression melted Juntian’s heart. He decided right then and there that she needed more time to grow up. He couldn’t let her marry that Ming Xi kid too soon. She was still so young.
Everyone had been exhausted, not to mention tired and hungry, from last night’s ordeal. The kitchen prepared a huge breakfast for everyone to replenish their energy. They had gathered and ate together earlier before Feng Wu woke up. It was at breakfast that Ming Xi made clear he and Feng Wu were sweethearts.
Grandfather Feng still remembered how utterly surprised he was at Ming Xi’s revelation. Even in his wildest dreams, he never imagined his granddaughter, who had never made anything of herself and was always a little foolish in the head, would attract the interest of the future emperor of the Moon kingdom.
The Ancient Silver Moon kingdom was one of the four great empires and Ming Xi’s eyes weren’t bad, so how did such a prince fall in love with his granddaughter?
Pooie! What was he thinking? His granddaughter was naturally excellent. Her bad reputation in the past was just slander from shameless people! His family’s Xiao Wu was doing very well!
Though Grandfather Feng, through some convoluted thinking, convinced himself Feng Wu was fine, he still couldn’t believe Ming Xi had fallen in love with his granddaughter, because in the end, no matter how her bad reputation came about, it was a fact that she did have a bad reputation and it wasn’t something he could change.
The Feng family wondered if this young prince, who had always kept a clean reputation, sincerely liked Feng Wu, or if it was just a passing whim him.
If he wasn’t sincere, then it wasn’t appropriate for a prince of the Ancient Silver Moon kingdom to associate with Feng Wu. With Feng Wu’s temperament, they were all afraid something would happen if she went to see the royal family there. Feng Wu’s temper had improved a lot recently but Grandfather Feng was still worried.
Father Feng was also worried. He wasn’t close to Feng Wu, but she was his daughter and he had raised her since she was a little dumpling. Naturally, he didn’t want to see her suffer.
Feng Wu already gave birth to a child and even though Feng Ye’s identity was unique, no one outside the family knew it because it needed to remain a secret for now.
So in the eyes of the public, Feng Wu wasn’t worthy of someone as outstanding as Ming Xi. She would be under so much pressure if she was with him!
Considering her personality, would she be able to bear it? She was better now, but who knew if she would revert back to her old stubborn ways. Would it really be OK to let her marry into the royal family based on her current temperament? Father Feng had his doubts.
Ming Xi had gone directly to accompany Feng Wu right after breakfast, so neither of the Feng men had a chance to clearly ask him what his intentions were.
Both Grandfather Feng and Father Feng restrained themselves for as long as they could. Finally, they couldn’t hold it anymore and had Juntian invite Ming Xi to see them in the hall.
The conversation between Grandfather Feng, Father Feng and Ming Xi in the hall lasted a long time. Ultimately both Feng men agreed to give the children their blessings. It was Feng Wu’s choice and it wasn’t good to separate a happy couple.
Grandfather Feng and Father Feng accepted gifts from Ming Xi with clear hearts. They couldn’t have been more pleased.
Grandfather Feng liked wine and Ming Xi had gifted him a moonlight cup. Now this was no ordinary cup. As long as the cup was placed under the light of the moon, it would brew fine wine.
Father Feng liked famous swords. A sword master could only really use one sword in his life so having too many was useless, but despite this, he really enjoyed collecting swords.
He collected famous swords like some people collected stamps. It was fun and something he had taken to doing since he was a child.
He collected them but he didn’t let them sit and gather dust. When he met a person he felt was suitable for a specific sword, he would gift that person the sword freely. For a sword master, there was nothing worst than a sword gathering dust or a sword in unworthy hands.
The sword Ming Xi gifted was a collection item from the Ancient Silver Moon kingdom and had been handed down for many generations. No wonder Tianhang was so pleased with it.
Although the heartfelt gifts played a role in helping them decide, it was Ming Xi letting them see the sincerity in his eyes and speech that really made the men agree. It let them know he was truly sincere about Feng Wu and their hearts were at ease.
No matter what the future held, the two young love birds had already made up their minds and were firm in their conviction. As long as Feng Wu didn’t object, there was no reason to not let them try. If the people of the Ancient Silver Moon kingdom rejected Feng Wu, they would just find another proper marriage for her.
