Chapter 631 - The Secret of a Young Lady (1/2)

In the end, Mo Xuetong left first, not waiting for Feng Yuran.

She returned to King Xuan’s Manor with Princess Caifeng and Hu Qianyue. After getting out of the carriage, she said goodbye to Princess Caifeng and went to the main courtyard. Just now, the Emperor had given orders to the people from the Southern Barbarian Lands to move to their new manor. Princess Caifeng and Hu Qianyue also needed to pack their own things.

After all, something like that had happened in the palace, Princess Caifeng did not fulfill her wish to marry Feng Yuran. At the sight of Mo Xuetong, she wore an unhappy look, but could not do anything to Mo Xuetong. When she thought of Mo Xuetong’s husband who was so protective of her that he had become so fierce, Princess Caifeng did not dare to think about hurting her no matter how daring she was.

The more she saw Mo Xuetong, the more annoyed she became. So she just left, which was the best way for her.

Thus, she did not pick faults on Mo Xuetong and walked towards her courtyard. After walking a few steps, she suddenly stopped and put away her depressed expression. She smiled gently at Hu Qianyue, who had been frowning behind her. “Qianyue, I did not expect that we would really stay in this country together. It seems that Mother was afraid that I would be wronged in the Qin Kingdom, so she sent you here as well. After all, I have never heard that the daughter of a minister sent a princess to marry into another country before,” she stated.

Her words pierced Hu Qianyue’s heart like a needle, which immediately upset her. The result that she had never dared to thing about flashed through her mind. She gritted her teeth and put on a smile, saying, “You must be joking, Your Highness. It’s my pleasure to marry into the same country with you.”

Even though there was a smile on her face, she clenched her handkerchief tightly. If she had not been good at self-control, she would have sworn at Princess Caifeng. She would be mentally ill if she wanted to marry Feng Yulei. How could she be willing to travel so far to be a second consort instead of being a prince’s wife in her own country? Furthermore, it was a second consort that was not valued. Hu Qianyue clenched her teeth so hard in hatred that they almost shattered.

However, what happened was too abrupt and in front of the people of the two countries in the hall. Although she was unwilling to accept it, she did not dare to say it out loud. Thinking about the hostility Princess Caifeng showed to her before, Hu Qianyue was almost sure that this matter had a direct correlation with Princess Caifeng.

She did not expect that this idiot was not so serious. The girl had been acting very stupid in front of her, but in the end, she had hit her in the most critical spot. “Caifeng, I will never let you off the hook,” she thought. Unfortunately, when she sought help from King Chu, he said that he could not do anything about it.

“Qianyue, it’s not bad to marry into King Yan’s Manor. Look at King Yan, I can tell that he has a peaceful character. He didn’t dare to say anything when he was almost forced to divorce his wife by Elder brother. If you found a firm foothold in King Yan’s Manor in the future and give birth to a son, I will ask Elder brother to help you. At that time, the position of Consort Yan will be yours.”

Princess Caifeng was rarely mild. She reached out to grab Hu Qianyue’s hand and walked together with her. They looked even closer than before, as if they were caring about each other from the bottom of their hearts. Hu Qianyue would not take this seriously in the past. However, there was no one else around her who could help her now, expect Crown Prince Xieyue.

She immediately raised her eyes and looked at Princess Caifeng with grat.i.tude. She lifted her skirt and knelt down solemnly, saying, “Thanks a lot, Your Highness, and His Highness. King Yan was raised by the Empress of the Qin Kingdom and is supported by Ding General Manor. If he succeeds in… I will definitely thank you, Your Highness.”

Her words were incomplete, but Princess Caifeng got what she meant, and even more than one hints, which made her unhappy instantly. Her face darkened, and she was faintly angry. She glared at Hu Qianyue for a while, then suddenly swung her sleeves angrily, and turned around, leaving with her people.

Hu Qianyue was going to marry King Yan to be his second consort, also his co-wife.

Princess Caifeng was going to marry King Ning to be his legal wife.

Though King Yan and King Ning were both princes, there seemed no difference in their status. As a legal wife, she would definitely suppress Hu Qianyue, a second consort. If nothing went wrong, her status would be always above Hu Qianyue’s for the rest of her life. This marriage made her not only dissatisfied, but also feel a little superior. Then she felt that such a marriage was not so difficult to accept.

Moreover, Feng Yuzhen was very handsome!

Hu Qianyue kept playing tricks along the way and plotted against her from time to time. Now, she had to stay in the Qin Kingdom like her and would be a second consort. Princess Caifeng felt that she had vented a fit of the sulks and her frustrated mood resulting from unable to marry Feng Yuran had lifted. At least, there was someone inferior to her. She did not forget that in the imperial palace of the Southern Barbarian Lands, Hu Qianyue had a higher status than her, an unfavored princess.

However, hearing Hu Qianyue’s words, Princess Caifeng immediately bore a lot of dissatisfaction with King Ning.

King Yan was the son of the Qin Kingdom’s Emperor, and was most likely to succeed the throne. Raised by the Empress and backed by the powerful Ding General Manor, he had a high chance of winning against the other princes. If King Yan succeeded to the throne in the future, Hu Qianyue’s status would not be low. If she gave birth to a son, she might become the future Empress. How could Princess Caifeng, who had always looked down on her, bear her anger?

Thinking that she might have to salute to Hu Qianyue when she met her in the future, she felt so mad that she felt very uncomfortable.

Anyway, it was impossible for King Ning to ascend the throne. In the future, he would just be an idle member of the royal family.

Princess Caifeng was unable to endure it.

Seeing that Princess Caifeng had left angrily, a maidservant helped Hu Qianyue up, lowering her voice and asked anxiously, “Miss, are you really going to marry King Yan to be his second consort?”

She was Hu Qianyue’s personal maidservant. When she entered the emperial palace just now, she was not allowed to take her in because of her low status.
