Chapter 1422: Chapter 1417: Competing Fathers

Chu Yifeng did not care about the consequences, he scoffed, “Someone dared hit my daughter, her time of death has come.”

“Chu Yifeng, don’t set a bad example!” Rong Sheng slightly frowned, worrying that under such favoritism, Chu Xi would develop a temper just like his.

“My daughter will be taught my way,” Chu Yifeng could not endure others bullying his daughter.

Even if his daughter was the first to strike, it was unacceptable!

Chu Xi had hit Chu Heng, the young whelp, and he would accordingly deal with Chu Heng without error.

Rong Sheng, not wanting to argue with Chu Yifeng, walked first toward Su Yingxue’s palace.

Chu Yifeng, holding Chu Xi, stared intensely at her face all the way, the murderous intent in his eyes heavy.

Yue Lian and Yue Xin arrived first at Phoenix Throne, paying their respects to Su Yingxue.

Su Yingxue sat on the Phoenix Throne, somewhat expectant but did not see the silhouette of a man. She asked Yue Lian, “Did Zi Wei not come to Jiang Du City together?”

“Hubby has… not left home,” Yue Lian replied gently.

Su Yingxue was somewhat disappointed, “I thought, now that he has a daughter, he would have escorted you all the way here.”

She also wanted to see, after Zi Wei had a family, what his happy and fulfilled life would look like.

Seeing the lost look in Su Yingxue’s eyes, Yue Lian knew her side was guarded by the man standing there, like a guardian deity.

Yue Lian let Yue Xin bow and pay respects to Su Yingxue.

Yue Xin kneeled before Su Yingxue without hesitation; her small hands clasped together, her voice crisp, “Commoner Yue Xin, greets Your Majesty the empress.”

“Rise,” Su Yingxue beckoned, “Come closer, let Her Majesty take a look at you.”

Yue Xin approached Su Yingxue composedly, and Su Yingxue lifted her up, laughing, “Zi Wei’s daughter, Zi Wei has a daughter too!”

She turned her head joyously, calling out to Zi Wei, “Look, this is Zi Wei’s daughter, isn’t she beautiful? Look at her eyes, they also resemble Zi Wei!”

“Resemble?” Zi Wei frowned slightly, he had never imagined having a child who looked like him.

And Yue Lian said, this child was only adopted by her.

At this moment, Yue Lian watched this scene, feeling immensely grateful toward Su Yingxue.

If it weren’t for her holding Yue Xin, she might not have had the chance to get so close to her father.

Zi Wei felt indescribable toward Yue Xin, he couldn’t express it, only finding himself observing her details and noticing a patch of unvanished red mark on her face.

“What happened to your face?” Zi Wei stared at Yue Xin.

Yue Xin pouted her small mouth, chin raised, “At the palace gate, someone hit me, but I hit back!”

“At the palace gate? What happened?”

Su Yingxue put Yue Xin down, and Yue Lian quickly stepped forward to explain, “Please forgive her, Your Majesty, it’s Xin’er’s first time entering the palace and she is somewhat spoiled. She had a quarrel with Princess Chu Xi and both children ended up hitting each other… It’s my fault as a parent, I hope Your Majesty won’t take it to heart.”

Su Yingxue smiled, “A little quarrel between young girls won’t turn into a big issue. Xi’er has a temperament unlike ordinary girls, tell Yue Xin not to mind it.”

“She knocked a flower off my dress!” Yue Xin complained, pulling her dress in front of Su Yingxue to show her.

Su Yingxue observed, indeed a flower was missing from the dress.

No wonder the little one was upset.

Su Yingxue patted her head, “Then, Her Majesty will gift you a new dress and add another flower, all right?”

“Um… okay!” Yue Xin nodded, accepting quite magnanimously!

Su Yingxue instructed Ting Lan to fetch a new dress along with a flower carved from gemstone.

When Yue Xin received it, her eyes widened, “It’s so beautiful!”

“This is a gift for you, go back and tell your father, next time he comes to Jiang Du City, he should come with you,” Su Yingxue said while patting Yue Xin’s head, her eyes filled with tenderness.

“Daddy’s not here…” Yue Xin hadn’t finished speaking when Yue Lian covered her mouth and knelt down with her to express their gratitude, “Thank you, empress, for your kindness!”

When Yue Lian looked up, her gaze swept over Zi Wei.

She saw that Zi Wei was constantly gazing at Yue Xin, and after Yue Xin had inspected the gift, those naive eyes also met Zi Wei’s.

This was probably the warmest moment between father and daughter.

Content, Yue Lian took Yue Xin back to where Su Yingxue had seated them.

Chu Yifeng came in holding Chu Xi, with an obvious intent to provoke.

He did not speak politely to Su Yingxue, saying only, “Someone hit my daughter, empress, please don’t interfere.”

“Chu Yifeng, calm down, it’s just children playing, why take it seriously?” Su Yingxue immediately waved her hand, “Seventeen, go protect Yue Xin!”

Zi Wei stood by Yue Lian and Yue Xin, who had been nervously holding Yue Xin, fearing that Chu Yifeng might strike Yue Xin, now felt much more at ease.

With Zi Wei by their side, she was unafraid.

Yue Xin, hiding in Yue Lian’s arms, couldn’t help but look up at Zi Wei, thinking: This “Daddy”, although cold and unattractive, seems quite strong!

Chu Yifeng stared at Zi Wei standing by Yue Xin, “Opposing Your Highness?”

Zi Wei looked up, meeting his gaze, “At my master’s command.”

He was executing an order.

“Well said, ‘at my master’s command.’ I want that girl’s life, are you going to move aside?” Chu Yifeng put down Chu Xi, his eyes coldly fixed on Zi Wei.

Zi Wei did not reply, but drew his sword from its sheath.

Inside the Phoenix Throne, a great battle was imminent, furniture shattered and tiles flew about, and Su Yingxue watched with a headache.

Yet the two little girls, watching their fathers begin to fight, were quite excited.

Yue Xin stood at the palace gate shouting, “Daddy’s the best! Go for it!”

Chu Xi, initially hesitant, could not resist Yue Xin’s provocation and also ran to the gate, shouting, “Daddy will definitely win!”

Su Yingxue’s headache worsened.

Yue Lian wanted to go forward and pull Yue Xin back, but Rong Sheng stood there composed and calm, apparently not intending to stop the Eighth Prince’s child.

Caught between two girls cheering for their fathers, Chu Heng held his little face, unsure of what to do.

Honestly, if uncle and Seventeen fought, it was his mother’s Phoenix Throne that suffered.

Su Yingxue pushed him, “Don’t you have a father? Go call him over!”

She couldn’t contain the situation alone!

Chu Heng nodded and quickly toddled off.

Chu Yihan was busy in the imperial study when Chu Heng arrived, and he asked in a low voice, “What’s the matter?”

“Daddy, they’re fighting!”

Chu Heng’s voice was crisp.

“What do you mean?” Chu Yihan frowned slightly.

Chu Heng stood before him, “Uncle and Seventeen are fighting, mother asked the father to come over quickly.”

“Nonsense!”

Chu Yihan slammed the memorial onto the imperial table and led Chu Heng to the Phoenix Throne.

Seeing Chu Yifeng and Seventeen fighting ferociously, both bloodied and yet unyielding, Chu Yihan directly intervened, delivering a palm strike to each, calming them down.

“Chu Yifeng, what is this disgrace?” Chu Yihan scolded him first.
