224 The Emperor’s Intentions

Night descended slowly. The bustling Lan manor in the day quieted. Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nian washed up and laid on the large carved flower bed without saying a word. They silently laid there looking at one another, luxuriating in this feeling.

“Xuan?” Lan You Nian stroked Feng Yi Xuan’s handsome face, asking, “You’re not entering the Imperial Palace?” Before leaving, Emperor Feng Xuan had said this. Lan You Nian knew Feng Yi Xuan couldn’t be ordered around by others, but Lan You Nian still had to ask. No matter the result, Lan You Nian will always accompany by his side.

Feng Yi Xuan tightened his hold around Lan You Nian, “Don’t want to go. Want to hold you!”

It’s rare for Feng Yi Xuan to act spoiled and childish. Lan You Nian felt only in front of her will Feng Yi Xuan let everything go completely, just like how she was with Feng Yi Xuan. Only when they’re by each other’s side would they become different than with others.

“I’ll go with you?” Lan You Nian giggled. She didn’t know about the matter between Feng Yi Xuan and His Majesty Feng Xuan but it wasn’t difficult to take a rough guess. Since His Majesty wanted Feng Yi Xuan to go, Lan You Nian hoped Feng Yi Xuan will go, to give up for good. Lan You Nian needed Feng Yi Xuan to see through things.

Feng Yi Xuan chuckled. He knew Nian Nian was worried about him, worried that he’s upset because of what happened that day, but Nian Nian didn’t know, as long as Nian Nian was by his side, he wasn’t afraid of anything, nor would he be in a bad mood, because his heart was beating.

“Alright!” Feng Yi Xuan nodded. He wanted to listen to what his so called Imperial Father wanted to say. He wanted to see what the so called Imperial Father wanted to use what face to look at him, to see what this so called Imperial Farther will give what kind of explanation.

Feng Yi xuan picked up Lan You Nian’s clothes, tenderly helping her dress. Lan You Nian obediently sat there watching as Feng Yi Xuan went from busily putting on her clothes to the current proficiency. Lan You Nian sighed with feeling, “Xuan, you have made me accustomed to being a child!”

Wasn’t it a child? Helping her dress and do her hair, even, most of the time, he’d help her put on her shoes. Not even Lan Wu and Lan Qu would serve her to this extent. Lan You Nian really feared that one day she wouldn’t even know how to wear clothes, even requiring someone to feed her when eating.

“I like spoiling you like this! Besides, aren’t you still a child?” Feng Yi Xuan squat down, helping Lan You Nian put on a pair of tiny furball embroidered slippers that looked lovable and delicate, making Feng Yi Xuan feel that whichever part of Nian Nian all endeared her to him.

“That’s what you said!” Lan You Nian was like a koala bear as she hung on Feng Yi Xuan’s neck. Feng Yi Xuan very naturally held Lan You Nian in his arms. His posture was like holding a child, because compared to his tallness, Lan You Nian was much more delicate.

“When we’ve become old man and old woman, you still must spoil me like this!” Lan You Nian said coquettishly, gazing into Feng Yi Xuan’s eyes.

“Alright!” Feng Yi Xuan’s expression was soft, “Not only when we’re old, even in the next life, I will find you and pamper you much earlier!” Feng Yi Xuan’s greatest regret was that he wasn’t able to protect Nian Nian when she was small which allowed her to suffer so much bitterness. Therefore, in the next life, he must come to Nian Nian’s side as early as possible and pamper her from the very start, continuously…

“You said it !” Lan You Nian sat in the carriage with Feng Yi Xuan hurrying to the Imperial palace.

“I said it!” Feng Yi Xuan smiled in reply.

When Feng Yi Xuan was about to pull Lan You Nian into the Imperial Study, Lan You Nian glanced at Feng Yi Xuan, giving Feng Yi Xuan a comforting look. The two smiled and entered the imperial study. Eunuch Lu saw them and was about to announce them but was stopped by Lan You Nian.

When Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nian walked into the imperial study, they saw a most disatisfying scene. Emperor Feng Xuan sat there while Consort Tao stood beside him. The two gazed affectionately at one another, as if they contained thousands of emotions.

A cold smile hung on Feng Yi Xuan’s lips, his entire body’s aura was fierce like a cold wind passing by, chilling people to the bone. This cold air brought the Emperor and Consort Tao to their senses. The two saw Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nian and recovered proper decorum.

“Beloved consort, you can return!” Emperor Feng Xuan gently pat Consort Tao’s shoulder. Consort Tao smiled charmingly, curtsied and left the Imperial Study, but Lan You Nian can clearly sense Consort Tao faintly eyeing her. That glance was filled with too much hatred.

“A’Xuan, you came!” Feng Xuan looked at his son and shot a glance at Lan You Nian, his meaning obvious: that is, he hoped Lan You Nian could leave, because what they were going to discuss was the palace’s secret. He didn’t want others to know, even if this person was his daughter-in-law.

“Say whatever you wish. If you’re not going to say anything, we’re leaving!” Feng Yi Xuan held Lan You Nian and sat down, saying impolitely. Chasing Nian Nian away? Hmph!
