At the same time within the palace of the Feng Qi Kingdom, a certain beautifully dressed woman was currently loafing around on the dragon chair with some wine in hand. Due to the personâs lazy demeanor, the fluid was constantly dripping down the corner of those blossom lips as she gorged herself.
âLan Shaoling, whatâs so bad about me that you must keep rejecting my advances? Am I not beautiful enough, or am I not outstanding in your eyes?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
If I am not good enough then I can change. I can make myself more perfect. Yet you donât even give me a chanceâ¦.
âMajesty,â a eunuch hurriedly walks in from the front, his voice urgent, âthe first elder seeks an audience.â
âWhat is he coming for?â Feng Luan tightly furrows her brow as she sneered in disdain: âAt the beginning it was always this bastard whoâs fully against me being with Shaoling. Now what is he coming still? Tell him to scram, Iâm not seeing him!â
However, before her words could be passed onto the person in question, a white-robed elder have already walked into the main hall. Arching his hand: âMy Queen.â
âHo,â Feng Luan snarls sardonically, âwho are you calling queen? I canât even decide my own marriage so what point is there in me being in this post. Why donât you go find another to take up this spot so I can go chase after Shaoling. I need nothing, only his company as we wander the world freely.â
Thatâs right, this ruling position didnât bring comfort for the lovestruck girl, only binding rules and constraint.
âMy Queen, my visit today is only to ask you one questionâ¦â The elder didnât get angry at all. On the contrary, he seems quite pleased instead. âDo you really like that Lan Shaoling?â
Making a self-deprecating smile at herself, Feng Luanâs sorrowful face grew more apparent: âI have known Shaoling for eight years and have loved him ever since. For him, Iâm willing to keep my harem empty. But whatâs the point when he doesnât love me at allâ¦â
Taking another sip from her wine cup, âOriginally, I thought even if he doesnât love me, he would still hold some affections, thatâs why I threatened him not so long ago. But now, not only did he not answer my plea, heâs now completely ignoring meâ¦â
âDid I not do enough? I can change, I really can change. If heâs not willing to marry into the Feng Qi Kingdom then I can abandon this post and go to his home. As long as he says it then I will.â
âMy Queen, if you want to go to him then go. I will find someone to safeguard the kingdom while you are gone.â The old manâs iris flashed meaningfully as he spoke.
Peng!
As result of that statement, the wine jug that was already wobbling constantly by the chair handle have now smashed onto the floor, causing a pungent smell of alcohol to stain the hall.
âDo you really mean it?â Feng Luanâs surprised face shoots up with excitement, causing that beautiful face to turn dazzling.
âOf course I mean it,â the old man gives a mild nod. âI had intended earlier to fulfill your wishes after learning of Bai Yanâs status within the Holy Land. Shame that news broke out the womanâs not a genuine daughter of that Lan House, thatâs why I wanted more time to think about it.â
