Chapter 257 Five Cowards
After wrestling with his thoughts for quite a while, Wang Zijia eventually pushed them aside and glanced at the sky. It was already dusk, so he rose from his seat and left the room.
He was lodged in the best mansion in the market square, hence the courtyard was rather spacious and should rightly be called an estate. Its spiritual energy could even be said to almost rival that of Biyi Court.
Exiting the study room, he moved through several corridors until he reached the backyard.
"Have you finished with your affairs?" Xiang Feifei asked, looking at Wang Zijia with a gentle expression.
"Mmm, more or less." Wang Zijia nodded.
"Today at the banquet, I met with the Emperor again. He still wishes to meet you," Xiang Feifei said hesitantly.
Over these two months, she was often invited to the palace to chat and drink tea with the princesses and other palace women. Because of her age, she somewhat enjoyed these invitations and rarely declined them.
Wang Zijia was also pleased with this situation, as it helped him avoid dealing with the court’s obligations. Xiang Feifei probably had the same intention.
"Mmm. I know what he wants, but I can’t meet his request unless his family is willing to abdicate." Wang Zijia spoke indifferently. The Wanyu Sect kept fairly strict control over relationships with royal families and Wang Zijia had no interest in violating this.
"······"
After engaging in their usual small talk for a while and eating dinner, Wang Zijia did not return to his room. Instead, he took Bai Qian with him and went to the cultivation room.
