Time flew by as it fell on the day of the farewell feast. Second wangye Feng Shao Chu was especially excited. With Princess Yue Bai Lian’s looks, it’s rare for men not to be moved by such a beautiful woman, not to mention Yue Bai Lian also possessed the status of a princess.
“Imperial son!” The Empress permitted several of the palace maids to incessantly do her makeup and dress her to cover up her fading beauty, “There must be no chance of this matter failing under any circumstance, do you understand?” What happened last time was a tremendous blow to them. Their money was nearly depleted. To bribe those personages, it required money. At this critical juncture, only by marrying Yue Empire’s princess, they would be able to obtain a part of Yue Empire’s support.
“Rest assured Empress Mother. We’ve handled this matter with extreme caution. There won’t be any accidents!” Feng Shao Chu gestured with his hand for the Empress’s trusted palace maid to leave, then continued to say, “Not only can we attain Princess Lian from this scheme, we can also frame Feng Yi Xuan! Let’s see how Imperial Father will make excuses for that person!”
“Hn!” The Empress lightly patted Feng Shao Chu’s arm, affectionately gazing on her only son. Her daughter was already fixed to marry into another empire. She only has to boost her son onto the throne, only then she can remain unshakeable in her own position. Later, she can summon back her own daughter.
“Imperial son, you can marry Princess Bai Lian, but only as a side consort, not as official consort!” The Empress fixed her gaze sternly on her son. She feared her son will be captivated by beauty. She’s seen Princess Bai Lian’s beauty for herself. She was a rare beauty. There is a likely chance for such a woman to become a calamitous beauty.
“Subject son knows. This Princess Bai Lian is Yue Empire’s princess. Benwang needs her support, so is marrying her. Rest assured Empress Mother, subject son won’t breach propriety for a woman!” Feng Shao Chu said. Although he admires Yue Bai Lian and wants to possess such a beautiful woman, Feng Shao Chu was even more aware of what he wanted. If he married Yue Bai Lian, not only will he obtain a prodigal amount of dowry, the people in court will be able to see who has the greater influence behind them. That way, he will have more chance to obtain that position.
“Hn, imperial son didn’t disappoint Empress Mother!” The Empress was pleased with her son. Such a child who was skilled in plotting was her, An Qian Mei’s son. Since His Majesty can’t see them, mother and child, then she will make His Majesty regret.
An Qian Mei and Feng Shao Chu, the two mother and son, was exhilarated over tonight’s plan, not knowing that their plan was already known by others….
At this moment, Lan You Nian and the gang have already arrived in the imperial palace. Lan You Nian’s seat was arranged to be beside Feng Yi Xuan. An unmarried girl in Feng Empire did not have the privilege of sitting beside a wangye but it can’t be helped that Feng Yi Xuan dotes on Lan You Nian. The Emperor was also pleased with Lan You Nian, in addition, with those people protecting Lan You Nian, no one dared to stand up and object. If the old stick in the mud Tutor He doesn’t even question it, how would they dare to utter a word?
Lan You Nian’s full head of jade-black hair was casually tied up into a simple hairstyle. There was a pair of spider lily buyao assembled in her hair, very dainty and lofty, but not wanting in opulence. This was specifically made for her by Feng Yi Xuan. With a nephrite jade bangle on her wrist, translucent and luminous, contrasting against her snow-white skin, truly a flawless inherent beauty that can be discarded.
As for Feng Yi Xuan who was sitting beside her, his unfathomable black eyes were frigid pools. Just once glance made one’s heart tremble and give birth to a strand of fear. The man’s solid intimidating aura can only make others hold him in awe and veneration. A piercing gaze, and chilly air made people fixate on his dignified and powerful bearing, the formidable air of looking down on the world, thus those who ogled that exquisite face declined. But towards the girl beside him, he was affectionate and indulging, making people hate they couldn’t replace the girl sitting beside him.
Lan Jian Jun eyed the daughter who was arranged to sit beside Feng Yi Xuan, his heart resentful. His relationship with his daughter was already starting to mend. He can sense his daughter was starting to accept this father of hers. But once Ming wang appeared, his daughter won’t be able to see him, her vision completely occupied by Ming wang. But Lan Jian Jun couldn’t do anything, afraid he would do something that would make his daughter angry.
Today’s true leading role is Yue Bai Lian who was just sitting there. The news that Yue Bai Lian came to Feng Empire for a marriage alliance was known by all. Many young masters wanted to marry home this sweet-tempered and alluring princess Yue Bai Lian. So the moment when Yue Bai Lian took her seat, many men exchanged pleasantries with Yue Bai Lian. Yue Bai Lian’s etiquette was above reproach, always softly answering each young master’s question. Her approach to the situation made many of the men besotted with her.
Again brushing off several men, Yue Bai Lian slightly released a sigh and looked towards Lan You Nian. Coincidentally, Lan You Nian was also looking in her direction. The two’s eyes met and they smiled at each other.
Lan You Nian contemplated Yue Bai Lian. She couldn’t help muse that she indeed had the bearing of an imperial family’s princess. Even Feng Empire’s several princesses couldn’t compare to Yue Bai Lian. Yue Bai Lian wore a light blue wide-sleeved long dress that cinched at the waist, each layer was embroidered with large peony flowers. The flowers shimmered with a dazzling glow, very noble and lofty. A moonlight white waistband girdled her waist, tied into a butterfly knot in the back, making her willow waist seem slim, all that is lovely and dainty. Hair that was loose fell to her waist was still slightly beading with water droplets. Following the figure’s gentle swaying, transluscent and glimmering. Calmly and unhurried, she simply stood there, graceful and refined, elegant and lofty, absolutely blinding!
Suddenly, Lan You Nian felt her hand being tightly gripped by Feng Yi Xuan under the table a little painfully. Lan You Nian broke off her gaze from Yue Bai Lian and looking confusedly at Feng Yi Xuan, asking, “Xuan, what’s wrong?”
