“Who did it?” Lan You Nian asked. She knew that since Lan Wu came back, as well as cleaned up Hua Mu Qing’s tent, she must have discovered who was behind this.

“Young miss, the one to put the poisonous snakes in junzhu’s tent is Yue country’s Yue Qian Ling!” Lan Wu said. This time, it was Ming wang who had An Yi investigate. Lan Wu can tell that Ming wang’s forces in the palace weren’t to be underestimated.

Lan You Nian was silent for a while. From the start, she suspected that this was connected to Yue Qian Ling. Today, Hua Mu Qing and Yue Qian Ling blatantly had discord between them. Yue Qian Ling is used to being arrogant and domineering. Even coming to Feng country, she didn’t restrain herself.

“What about those poisonous snakes?” Lan You Nian laid on the large, soft bed, a bloody flower bloomed on her lips.

“An Yi has captured all of them. It should be with An Yi right now” Lan Wu recalled the pile of poisonous snakes in the tent and her scalp tingled with numbness. Fortunately the person who placed the snakes in Hua Mu Qing’s tent put something outside the tent, otherwise, if those poisonous snakes slipped out, then tonight the entire hunting grounds will be in chaos.

“Young miss, you don’t know ah! Those poisonous snakes are truly terrifying. That Yue Qian Ling is really vicious! We must teach her a lesson!” Lan Wu and Hua Mu Qing’s relationship was pretty good so inside, she was infuriated.

“Since Yue Qian Ling is so leisurely…” Lan You Nian leaned over whispering in Lan Wu’s ear. Lan Wu’s eyes brightened.

Lan Wu giddily left the tent then Lan Qu came in, “What ideas has young miss thought of that made Lan Wu skip her way out so unsightly? If others see, who knows what they’ll say about young miss.”

Lan You Nian unconcerned said, “Lan Wu’s personality is fine. You guys can do whatever you want. There’s no need to consider me!” Lan You Nian knew due to coming to the capital Lan Wu, and Lan Qu’s tempers have changed a lot, afraid to bring her trouble. But she Lan You Nian’s people, she will protect.

“Young miss always spoils us. I don’t know how many lives we’ve cultivated to have the blessing of meeting young miss!” Lan Qu said while searching for the clothes to wear for tonight’s banquet. Their previous life was full of hardship, it was hell, but they now possessed happiness they never had before.

Lan Qu brushed her young miss’s hair and helped her change out of the clothes. She couldn’t help sighing, “Young miss is so beautiful, don’t know how peerlessly beautiful you will be when you’ve reached adulthood. Really profited Ming wang!”

“Pu—“Lan You Nian burst out in laughter… She couldn’t help feel unfair for Feng Yi Xuan. An obviously peerless appearance that due to the indifference made others not dare look. But Lan You Nian was pleased that no one covets Feng Yi Xuan. Otherwise, she will be angry.

“Alright, attend the banquet!” Lan You Nian walked out of the tent and headed towards the brightly lit open field…..

Lan You Nian saw the dinner banquet was being held on the vast open space. A high platform has been constructed. People sat under the moon chatting, it was quite a different experience.

Lan You Nian wore a white tube top dress, with a pure white jacket, a moon-white belt wrapped around her waist, like a fairy falling down to earth without being stained by the mortal world, looking noble and elegant, pleasing to the eye.

After taking a seat, there were palace maids who presented the cooked delicious-looking food. The dishes were mainly made from today’s caught prey. Everyone was busy all day as well as many people hunted in person so tonight couldn’t help themselves from having a taste of the fragrant dishes.

Halfway through the meal, Xue country’s prime minister who hasn’t made any moves stood up. To the Emperor, he saluted, “Your Majesty of Feng, this minister under the command of my country’s majesty wants to welcome Feng country’s eldest princess in marriage, to seal our two countries’ alliance!”

Lan You Nian’s eyes flashed with interest. It seems there will be a good play tonight. From the start, Lan You Nian knew Feng Xiao Luo has been cured under Feng Yi Xuan’s command. Lan You Nian suspected that Feng Yi Xuan was planning something. From the looks of it, Feng Yi Xuan intends to use Feng Xiao Luo as a chip for peace marriage. However, Lan You Nian didn’t expect Feng Yi Xuan to even involve Xue country in his scheme.

“Oh? This is a happy event!” Emperor Feng Xuan chuckled in reply. Everyone could pretty much guess what this was going to be about.

Feng Xiao Luo sat below the Empress. Because it was nighttime, Feng Xiao Luo didn’t use a protective screen. She only wore a veil. In fact, she wasn’t even willing to wear the veil but ever since her face wilted and aged, she’s searched for many physicians without any result. Later, it was Empress Mother who found a civilian physician who finally cured her. That physician said her face can’t be blown by the wind. Otherwise, it will return to that terrifying look.

Feng Xiao Luo hearing Pei Fu represented Xue country’s Emperor’s imperial decree to request a marriage, Feng Xiao Luo snuck a peek at Pei Fu and saw a handsome man standing straight. Feng Xiao Luo felt although Pei Fu was already thirty, he was really good-looking. Inside, she was expectant of who she would have to marry. Even if it wasn’t Pei Fu, it should be Xue country’s prince. Feng Xiao Luo knew as a princess she had her duty as a princess, but if she can marry a high-standing and influential person, Feng Xiao Luo was willing.

“Which of Xue country’s young masters is Prime Minister Pei requesting the marriage of this emperor’s eldest daughter?” Feng Xuan asked deliberately though his heart knew better than anyone. How can he not know? Because before this, his sixth son came to find him to let him agree to this marriage request. If he didn’t agree, then he won’t bother with any of Feng country’s matters. Feng Xuan was angered half to death by his son. Firstly, he did spoil his fourth son and sixth son. Secondly, Feng country really can’t not have Feng Yi Xuan.

“This minister seeks Feng country’s eldest princess for my country’s thirteenth qinwang!” Pei Fu said respectfully.

(T/N: Qinwang: usually a title granted to the Emperor’s brother)

So it was like this, everyone thought. Xue country’s thirteenth qinwang was the current Emperor’s own younger brother. The Emperor was very indulgent of this younger brother. Not only did he give him the title of qinwang but also extremely protective. This thirteenth qinwang was already 50 or so years old this year. He is also a lascivious libertine. The thirteenth qinwang not only liked women but even handsome young masters he did not let go of. In the backyard of qinwang manor, there were countless women and imprisoned men. This wasn’t anything new in the other countries.
