Chapter 155 Fiancée. (2/2)
Feng Xia Qi saw his younger brother standing in the light of the lanterns declaring his possessiveness towards Lan You Nian. Feng Xia Qi suddenly gave birth to a shred of envy, but it was merely envy, there wasn’t any jealousy. Feng Xia Qi told himself, this was good, younger brother finally received his happiness!
Lan Jian Jun looked at such a shameless Ming wang and really wanted to rant, this is his daughter! Lan Jian Jun was aware that Ming wang liked his daughter, even that he loved his daughter deeply. But as a father, he didn’t see Ming wang’s power. Instead, he wanted to find someone who will treat his daughter well. Lan Jian Jun didn’t want his daughter to marry into the imperial family. He feared his daughter wouldn’t like such an environment. But this wasn’t the time to say these things.
“Future wife?” Hua Xiu Yi’s red lips were tempting as flames, “How come this Crown Prince doesn’t know Miss Lan is engaged? And it’s to Ming wang you,” Hua Xiu Yi didn’t admit defeat. Whether it was because this girl was too special or he wanted to compete with Feng Yi Xuan, he only knew he wanted to marry this girl.
“Nian Nian has the jade pendant of benwang’s wangfu’s matriarch. Benwang and Nian Nian’s marriage is known by Imperial Father and General Lan. Both of them have agreed. There is both the dictates of our parents as well as the engagement token. Of course, Nian Nian is benwang’s future wife!” Feng Yi Xuan just stood there, broad shoulders and long legs, his back was very straight, steady and tall. It was just a figure, a posture that can’t be any more normal, however, it gave people a sense of oppression.
“Oh? Engagement token? Is this true Miss Lan?” Hua Xiu Yi’s slight smile remains unchanged with the suspicion of becoming even more gentle.
Lan You Nian had to stand up. She took out a jade pendant Feng Yi Xuan gave her in the past. She didn’t know this jade pendant was the symbol for Ming wangfu’s matriarch. At that time, she hadn’t accepted Feng Yi Xuan yet. She didn’t expect that at that time Feng Yi Xuan would give such a precious jade pendant to her. Lan You Nian didn’t know what to say about Feng Yi Xuan.
This jade pendant was round and smooth as if the whole piece of jade was immersed in water, moist and shiny. It was a top-grade fine jade, dark green and transparent. The front was engraved with a life-like dragon; the back was engraved with “Xuan”! This jade not only represented Ming wangfu’s matriarch, but it can also mobilize Ming wangfu’s shadow guards, wealth and everything else!
Feng Yi Xuan approached Lan You Nian, picking up the jade pendant “This is benwang’s jade pendant. It is also the jade pendant that can only be owned by Ming wangfu’s matriarch! Does Hua country’s crown prince have any more doubts?” Keeping aloof, noble and cold, cold words, already exuded a superior’s usual decisiveness cold breath.
Hua Xiu Yi’s lips brimmed with a smile. However, this smile added a bit of sinister evil. He knew that no matter what he says, it wouldn’t be possible. But seeing that girl obediently standing beside Feng Yi Xuan, Hua Xiu Yi felt uncomfortable inside, very uncomfortable! The Lan You Nian he’s always seen was always reasonable and indifferent, especially unapproachable. But this girl removed the alienation around her body, looking even more beautiful, but it wasn’t for him.
“Hahaha! This is zhen’s negligence!” Emperor Feng Xuan laughed and smoothed things over, “Ming wang and Lan family’s girl’s marriage ah, zhen and subject Lan have already discussed a while ago and settled the two children’s marriage. But considering Lan family’s girl is still young, it hasn’t been announced. Didn’t expect Hua country’s crown prince to misunderstand!”
Lan Jian Jun clenched his fist, glaring his eyes. For the first time, he wasn’t self-conscious of being a courtier. The Emperor was glared at by his courtier and felt a little embarrassed. But there was no other way ah! Such a good girl, if he didn’t steal over earlier for his son, where will he go cry to in the future?
Lan Jian Jun really wanted to swear “his family’s Nian Nian hasn’t been engaged to anyone!” but Lan Jian Jun knew if he did this, his daughter would probably attract Hua country’s crown prince, that troublesome man. But Lan Jian Jun still didn’t feel well inside. His daughter he hasn’t cherished enough, how can he let others snatch her away?
Those who knew the inside story were shocked by the Emperor’s shamelessness, but no one said a thing. Let’s not say Feng Yi Xuan, and Lan You Nian were mutually in love, just say to avoid the problematic matter of Lan You Nian going through a peace-marriage, this way was for the best.
Yue Bai Lian studied the legendary Ming wang. His starry eyes seemed to contain an icy brilliance, the eyebrows flew into hair, his face was like it was carved, his nose was straight, and the arc was beautiful. Bai Lian had to admit this Ming wang’s looks were good.It can match master, but…Yue Bai Lian glanced at Lan You Nian. Most men in the world were fickle, just like her Imperial Father that scum. Yue Bai Lian hoped to bless Lan You Nian, but she worried.
Hua Xiu Yi flicked a look at Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nian standing in the center. That man’s posture was straight like a pine, face as seductive as a rose, temperament noble and outstanding. The girl at his side wore a pure white long dress, tall and slim, facial features exquisite and stunning, temperament aloof and elegantly pure. The two were strangely well-matched, making Hua Xiu Yi’s eyes flash.
Hua Xiu Yi looked at Lan You Nian, his eyes filled with wickedness, “Since Miss Lan has already been promised to Ming wang, this crown prince won’t steal someone’s love, but if Miss Lan regrets….”
“No need for Hua country’s crown prince to trouble yourself!” Feng Yi Xuan’s piercing daggers shot out from his pupils. An Emperor’s imposing manner that can’t be violated was increasing.
Hua Xiu Yi’s aura also spread out, wickedly smirking, “Hopefully…” Then as if nothing happened, he sat back down as if the one who requested for marriage and was rejected wasn’t him. There wasn’t a sense of losing face, or that is to say, no one dared to let him lose face.
Lan You Nian felt she has been engaged in such a baffling way, bewilderingly becoming Feng Yi Xuan’s future wife. And she, it seems, didn’t dislike this feeling, even inside, there’s some expectancy. Perhaps it won’t be bad to be together with such a man.
Lan You Nian returned to her seat. Everyone’s gaze was complicated following Lan You Nian. Who would have expected noble Ming wang and Hua country’s crown prince would both be interested in Lan manor’s legitimate daughter. Everyone couldn’t help lamenting Lan You Nian’s good fortune.
After sitting down, Lan You Nian noticed many people were gaping at her. Sliding her eyes beside her, Lan You Nian was speechless. Because noble Ming wang actually sat with her in the seating of the court officials, he even sat right beside her as he picked out the bones in the food. From the looks of it, everyone knew this wasn’t the first time Ming wang did this. But everyone still felt horrified. In the past, the one you’re afraid of, feared, looked up to now meticulously served a woman. This feeling was too inconceivable!
“How come you’re sitting here?” Lan You Nian asked.After all, wangye’s seat was at the top.
