Chapter 5180: Inquiry“This isn’t just any roast chicken—I had Mi’er specially prepare it for me in the back kitchen.” Feng Ye said, tearing off a drumstick and handing it to her. “I’ve checked; the main course probably won’t be served anytime soon. Have a bite to tide you over.”
“Isn’t that a bit inappropriate?” Hao’er hesitated. “Master is still seated up front.” Eating here in the back seemed rather improper.
“It’s fine. Otherwise, come with me—I know a spot.” With that, he quickly wrapped up the roast chicken and beckoned them to follow.
Seeing this, the three exchanged glances. Honestly, if their great-uncle invited them, they couldn’t very well refuse, could they? Besides, it was roast chicken made by Sister Mi’er… they were craving it…
“We’ll be right back.” Yun Qi stood up and said to Xiao Junyan and the Mei siblings. Only then did the three quietly slip away.
Xiao Junyan watched their retreating figures, a hint of surprise in his heart. Why did they seem so familiar?
Feng Ye led the three to a secluded corner. With a wave of his hand, he cast a sound-blocking barrier before smiling. “Do you three still recognize me?”
“Of course we do! You’re Uncle Feng Ye!” Yue’er said with a beaming smile.
“Little Yue’er, you’ve grown so much! When I saw you earlier, Mother asked me not to reveal your identities. Looks like you’re just like me now!” As he spoke, he handed a chicken leg to Yue’er. “Here, have a bite first.”
“Chen’er, Hao’er, tear yours yourselves. This spirit chicken was specially prepared by Mi’er—it’s incredibly fragrant.” He said this while tearing off a wing for himself.
Seeing this, Muchen and Hao’er each tore off a leg and a wing. The group sat there eating and chatting.
“Hey, let me tell you—those emperors who came today? Not a single one of them has pure intentions. They’re all here eyeing potential in-laws. Just look at you kids—so young, and already being eyed by others.” Feng Ye said, tearing off another piece of meat to eat.
Hearing this, Hao’er, Muchen, and Yue’er froze, exchanging startled glances. “Uncle, what kind of marriage alliances are you talking about?”
“What else could it be? It’s about you three! Those young ones seated behind the Great Emperors are all here to make an impression on your parents.”
He grinned smugly. “I found this out the moment I arrived. It’s not just them—even the Monarchs have that intention. They just don’t dare bring it up. But those Great Emperors? They’ll probably mention it.”
Seeing the trio’s stunned expressions, he chuckled again. “But don’t worry. Your parents won’t rush into arranging your marriages.”
Hearing this, the three finally relaxed. Hao’er remarked, “They’re wasting their breath.” He knew that Father and Mother wouldn’t arrange marriages for them lightly. Even if they did, they’d certainly seek their consent first.
Muchen remained silent, lost in thought as he stared intently at Yue’er.
“Brother, why are you looking at me like that?” Yue’er asked, her eyes wide with surprise.
“If Great Emperor Xiao Tian were to propose marriage on behalf of Xiao Junyan, would you accept?” Muchen asked sternly, his gaze fixed firmly on her.
“Huh?”
Yue’er’s eyes widened in utter bewilderment. “Why would I agree? I’m so young! I’m not getting married! Besides, I only like Big Brother Xiao because he’s kind to me. I think of him as an older brother!”
