Chapter 230: Is Your Name Changyu? Just Call Me Aunt Rouyun

In the Zaixin Hall.

It was a shrine where the empress of the Great Qian Dynasty went to pray.

Everyone in the Great Qian Dynasty knew that no one was allowed to disturb the Empress when she was praying.

However, at this moment, a figure appeared in Zaixin Hall.

At the same time, there was a soft voice that broke the silence of the hall.

“Is there someone?”

A voice sounded.

In an instant, the empress of the Great Qian Dynasty, Chu Rouyun, couldn’t help but turn around.

She looked in the direction of the voice.

Soon, a face appeared before her.

In an instant, Chu Rouyun, the empress of the Great Qian Dynasty, was stunned.

Dumbfounded, she looked at the man in front of her.

He was handsome.

He was incredibly handsome.

However, she wasn’t shocked only because of how good-looking he was.

Instead, it was because he looked very similar to the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty in his younger days.

In fact, for a moment, Chu Rouyun even thought that the person in front of her was the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty.

However, the difference was that although the man in front of her resembled the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, his temperament was very much like Princess Changling.

If it was a woman and not a man, she would have thought that Princess Changling had returned.

One’s appearance could be changed.

However, a person’s aura could not be changed.

The more she looked at him, the more she felt that his aura was similar to Princess Changling’s.

At this moment, Su Changyu, who appeared in the hall, seemed a little awkward after seeing the noble-looking woman in front of him.

He was a little curious and wondered if he had disturbed her.

However, after walking for more than an hour, he still couldn’t find the way back.

That made Su Changyu vexed.

Although it seemed a little out of the blue, he couldn’t help but ask, “Where is Princess Xu Yang’s bedchamber?”

Su Changyu asked with a smile.

His voice made the empress of the Great Qian Dynasty snap back to her senses.

However, in the next moment, something that made her even more shocked happened.

The jade pendant in her hand, which was originally dim and lackluster, emitted a faint light at this moment.

This!

Chu Rouyun was stunned.

For the past 20 years, the jade pendant had been lackluster and the only time it lit up was more than 20 years ago.

When Princess Changling handed the jade pendant to her, Chu Rouyun never thought that it would light up again after more than two decades.

She was really astonished.

At the same time, she stared at Su Changyu.

Sensing her gaze, Su Changyu felt a little awkward.

‘I might be being a little presumptuous but she shouldn’t look down on me like that.’

‘If you don’t like it, I’ll leave. Why do you have to look at me like that?’

At the thought of this, Su Changyu turned around to leave.

‘I shall run away first.’

However, just when Su Changyu was ready to leave, Chu Rouyun immediately spoke up to stop him.

“Wait a minute.”

Chu Rouyun immediately stood up and stopped Su Changyu.

In an instant, Su Changyu couldn’t help but frown.

‘Householder, what are you doing?’

‘Don’t you know that men should abstain from being too physically intimate with other women? You’re decades older than I am. Must you be so direct?’

Su Changyu frowned.

However, the latter seemed extremely excited.

“Who are you?”

“Why did you appear here?”

The empress of the Great Qian Dynasty asked Su Changyu with a strange expression on her beautiful face.

Sensing how agitated she was, Su Changyu couldn’t help but feel confused.

‘Why do the people of the palace always like to ask me where I’m from?’

‘Can’t you ask something else?’

‘Is it so important where I come from?’

‘I’m not an assassin, so I must be a person of some status since I can enter the Great Qian Dynasty palace so openly.’

Su Changyu was furious too.

The main reason was that he met Fang Li in the beginning and now he met a random woman who asked him such strange questions. How could he not be frustrated?

However, despite feeling frustrated, Su Changyu didn’t lose his temper because he didn’t know how to.

Besides, Su Changyu wouldn’t bully her even if she was unruly to him.

There were two types of people he wouldn’t bully.

The elderly.

And women.

Besides, Chu Rouyun also felt that she was being a little rude so she tried her best to calm herself down.

It was no wonder that she was so excited. After all, Su Changyu’s appearance resembled the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty and his aura was very much like that of Princess Changling.

That made her suspect that Su Changyu was the Tenth Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, the son of Princess Changling.

However, it all happened too suddenly.

She had searched for two decades and the emperor of Great Qian Dynasty had even used the country’s power to search for the Tenth Prince but to no avail.

Yet, he suddenly appeared in front of her.

That made Chu Rouyun stunned.

However, when she realized that her question might have been too out of the blue, Chu Rouyun took a deep breath and then looked at Su Changyu.

She said slowly, “You look very much like an old friend of mine. In a moment of panic, I lost my composure, please forgive me.”

Chu Rouyun was indeed worthy of being the empress of the Great Qian Dynasty as she managed to resolve the awkwardness with a few gentle words.

Su Changyu was a little curious.

‘I look very much like an old friend of hers?’

‘Do I have a doppelganger in this world?’

‘Are you lying to me?’

Su Changyu obviously didn’t believe Chu Rouyun. In fact, he even subconsciously felt that she was probably attracted by his handsome good looks.

He thought that she probably wanted him to marry her daughter.

‘Ah, such poor acting skills.’

After understanding this, Su Changyu looked much calmer.

Most importantly, such incidents had happened way too frequently in the past.

‘Didn’t Old Xia and Old Xuan behave in the same way?’

‘This is pointless.’

At this moment, Chu Rouyun immediately realized what Su Changyu was wearing. Women were very sensitive to clothes in the first place.

She saw at a glance that Su Changyu’s clothes were produced by the royals of the Great Xia Dynasty.

At the thought of this, Chu Rouyun couldn’t help but frown.

‘Why is Su Changyu wearing clothes made by the imperial palace?’

The clothes made by the royals usually wouldn’t be given to others as rewards. Only the emperor, princes, and imperial consorts were fit to wear them.

The princesses and their husbands would also qualify but the thing was, Chu Rouyun had never seen Su Changyu before.

“Little friend, are you a royal of the Great Xia Dynasty?”

Chu Rouyun asked Su Changyu that question because she couldn’t imagine it.

“I’m from the Great Xia Dynasty, but I’m not a royal.”

Su Changyu didn’t want to answer at first, but when he thought about the fact that she wanted to ask him more questions, he decided to answer her first.

“Not a royal? But…”

Chu Rouyun was about to ask Su Changyu about the clothes that he was wearing but he spoke up before she did.

“Are you trying to ask about the clothes I’m wearing?”

Su Changyu’s tone was calm.

In Chu Rouyun’s eyes, Su Changyu’s aloof aura was very similar to that of Princess Changling.

However, Princess Changling wasn’t aloof in the sense that she was condescending, but rather, she seemed quite enigmatic.

On the other hand, Su Changyu’s aloofness was like that of a supreme expert, but she had to admit that the two of them were very similar.

Hence, the more she looked at Su Changyu, the more she felt that he was similar to Princess Changling.

The more she looked at him, the more she liked him because she felt that he was like her kin.

However, she still wasn’t certain if Su Changyu was the Tenth Prince or not, though she reckoned that he was probably the Tenth Prince.

“Yes, why are you wearing the clothes of the royals of the Great Xia Dynasty?”

Chu Rouyun asked.

Her eyes were full of curiosity.

“This is a gift from a friend.”

Su Changyu answered after thinking about it. However, he didn’t mention who it was.

“Friend? What’s your friend’s name?”

She continued to ask.

She was extremely curious.

That made Su Changyu find it a little strange.

‘Why are you asking this question?’

‘Why are you asking about that?’

‘Why do you have so many questions?’

‘Do you harbor any evil intentions against me?’

Su Changyu frowned.

After thinking about it, he decided not to tell the truth.

He decided that he had to keep some things a secret.

It was taught to him by the Sect Leader.

“I don’t know what his name is but I call him Old Xia.”

Su Changyu answered calmly.

He didn’t say that it was given to him by Old Xuan and simply said Old Xia, thinking that it was about the same anyway.

As soon as she heard his words, Chu Rouyun was completely stunned.

‘Old Xia?’

‘Since that person can give him the imperial clothing of the Great Xia Dynasty, he must be a royal and not an ordinary person.’

‘He should either be the Crown Prince or the emperor.’

‘Old Xia?’

‘Old Xia?’

‘Is it Xia Yan, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty?’

Chu Rouyun took a deep breath.

She was already certain that Su Changyu was definitely the Tenth Prince.

‘Otherwise, how could Xia Yan possibly give Su Changyu those clothes?’

‘Besides, how can there be someone who looks exactly like the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty and bears the aura of Princess Changling?’

Indeed…

Indeed…

Indeed, her prayers in the past twenty-odd years really worked.

Chu Rouyun was on the brink of tears when she thought of that.

However, she got a grip on her emotions.

“Xia Yan, I didn’t expect that you had already found my poor nephew and hid him from me.”

“Are you still human?”

Chu Rouyun clenched her fist.

Her eyes were full of anger that she could not contain.

“No!”

However, in the next moment, Chu Rouyun frowned. She felt that Xia Yan must have a reason for hiding him from the Great Qian Dynasty.

Either he wanted to secretly groom Su Changyu, or he didn’t want others to find out about it.

After all, more than twenty years ago, Su Changyu suffered a great disaster.

He was stolen from the palace.

Such an incident would very likely happen again so Xia Yan had to protect Su Changyu.

The only way to do so was to hide him from the world.

No one was to find out.

Thinking of this, Chu Rouyun couldn’t help but take a deep breath and calmed herself down.

She hoped that everything would happen as she had guessed. Otherwise, she would settle scores with him.

Soon, Chu Rouyun put those things at the back of her head and hurriedly grabbed a plate of steamed snacks, which she then placed in front of Su Changyu.

“Little friend, these are snacks of good quality that are made in the palace. Have some. You’ve traveled a long journey, you must be exhausted, right?”

Heartbroken, Chu Rouyun looked at Su Changyu. After all, Su Changyu’s clothes were quite messy so she reckoned that he must have been exhausted from the journey.

At the same time, Chu Rouyun was also curious about why Su Changyu would appear in the Great Qian Dynasty.

Faced with her kind gesture, Su Changyu subconsciously kept his guard up, but when he saw the exquisite snacks in the box…

During this period of time, he really hadn’t eaten or rested well.

At the thought of this, Su Changyu caved in to his hunger and was tempted by the snacks.

“I’m not tired, I just met a mischievous child.”

“Thank you very much, Your Excellency.”

For some reason, Su Changyu felt an affectionate sense of closeness to the woman in front of him.

He somehow had a good impression of her.

“Mischievous child? What child?”

“Don’t stand on ceremony with me. If you don’t mind, you can call me Aunt.”

Chu Rouyun smiled.

“Aunt? You look very young and beautiful. If I call you Aunt, it’ll make you seem old. Why don’t I call you Sister?”

In order to prevent her from coercing him to marry her daughter, Su Changyu tried his best to make the age gap between them lesser.

However, when she heard Su Changyu’s compliment, Chu Rouyun naturally smiled sweetly.

After all, all women in this world liked being complimented for being young and beautiful.

‘The empress of the Great Qian Dynasty is human too.’

Besides, Su Changyu didn’t know his own identity yet, so Chu Rouyun was elated.

However, seniority mattered after all.

Chu Rouyun insisted, “I’m actually much older than you, I just have a good complexion. Call me Aunt and I’ll call you my nephew. From now onwards, no one in the Great Qian Dynasty will dare to bully you.”

Chu Rouyun said seriously.

That surprised Su Changyu.

He was actually very curious about her identity. Although Su Changyu rarely used his brains, he could tell that she probably had a noble status.

Now, she even said that.

Su Changyu thought about it.

‘She should be a noble consort or something, right?’

At this point, Su Changyu nodded and said, “Greetings, Aunt.”

Although Su Changyu had an indifferent aura, he somehow felt a strange sense of closeness to the woman in front of him. Even if others gave him plenty of benefits, Su Changyu wouldn’t call them aunt.

However, there was something different about the woman in front of him. Besides, the person he had just beat up seemed to be someone of a powerful background.

He thought that he should find himself a backer so as to not cause any trouble.

“Okay, okay, okay.”

“Your name is Changyu? What a good name. My name is Chu Rouyun. If you don’t mind, you can just call me Aunt Rouyun.”

Chu Rouyun affectionately pulled Su Changyu’s arm.

At the same time, she placed the jade pendant she was holding in Su Changyu’s hand.

In an instant, the light of the jade pendant became even more dazzling. That further confirmed Su Changyu’s identity.

“Aunt Rouyun?”

Su Changyu found her name to be rather familiar but he couldn’t recall where he had heard it before.

However, at this moment, Chu Rouyun couldn’t help but speak up.

“Changyu, did you say that you met a mischievous child just now? What’s the matter?”

Chu Rouyun asked curiously.

“It’s nothing, it’s just a mischievous child. I’ve already taught him a lesson.”

Su Changyu answered calmly.

In the next moment, Chu Rouyun couldn’t help but ask out of concern, “Are you injured then? Did you hurt yourself while hitting him?”

Chu Rouyun was overly worried.

Su Changyu was stunned too.

‘Why would I get injured from hitting a mischievous child?’

‘Are you looking down on me?’

At the same time… in the Heart Calming Hall.

The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty was reprimanding Princess Xu Yang.

All of a sudden, the sounds of crying filled the air.

“Grandpa!”

“Grandpa!”

“Someone hit me!”

Upon hearing the crying, their expressions changed.
