Chapter 534 “Mustn’t Provoke the Lan House (3)”
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 person’s lazy demeanor, the fluid was constantly dripping down the corner of those blossom lips as she gorged herself.
“Lan Shaoling, what’s so bad about me that you must keep rejecting my advances? Am I not beautiful enough, or am I not outstanding in your eyes?”
If I am not good enough then I can change. I can make myself more perfect. Yet you don’t even give me a chance….
“Majesty,” a eunuch hurriedly walks in from the front, his voice urgent, “the first elder seeks an audience.”
“What is he coming for?” Feng Luan tightly furrows her brow as she sneered in disdain: “At the beginning it was always this bastard who’s fully against me being with Shaoling. Now what is he coming still? Tell him to scram, I’m not seeing him!”
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: “My Queen.”
“Ho,” Feng Luan snarls sardonically, “who are you calling queen? I can’t even decide my own marriage so what point is there in me being in this post. Why don’t 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.”
That’s right, this ruling position didn’t bring comfort for the lovestruck girl, only binding rules and constraint.
“My Queen, my visit today is only to ask you one question…” The elder didn’t get angry at all. On the contrary, he seems quite pleased instead. “Do you really like that Lan Shaoling?”
Making a self-deprecating smile at herself, Feng Luan’s sorrowful face grew more apparent: “I have known Shaoling for eight years and have loved him ever since. For him, I’m willing to keep my harem empty. But what’s the point when he doesn’t love me at all…”
Taking another sip from her wine cup, “Originally, I thought even if he doesn’t love me, he would still hold some affections, that’s why I threatened him not so long ago. But now, not only did he not answer my plea, he’s now completely ignoring me…”
“Did I not do enough? I can change, I really can change. If he’s 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.”
“My Queen, if you want to go to him then go. I will find someone to safeguard the kingdom while you are gone.” The old man’s 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.
“Do you really mean it?” Feng Luan’s surprised face shoots up with excitement, causing that beautiful face to turn dazzling.
“Of course I mean it,” the old man gives a mild nod. “I had intended earlier to fulfill your wishes after learning of Bai Yan’s status within the Holy Land. Shame that news broke out the woman’s not a genuine daughter of that Lan House, that’s why I wanted more time to think about it.”
