Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Because of the invitation from Master Linghu tonight, Emperor Wu preferred Feng Wu a little more.
He was already leaning toward Feng Wu.
He hadn’t realized the change in his attitude, but.
“As for the engagement…” Emperor Wu put his hands behind his back and thought for a moment before he nodded. “It’s true. The engagement was never annulled.”
“We can’t have that!” Concubine Oriole almost jumped to her feet. “Your Majesty, we have to do something!”
‘The empress dowager glanced at her in approval, making a mental note to promote her when the time was right.
But Emperor Wu was displeased.
Nonetheless, he didn’t let it show.
“Is that so? Why can’t we have that?”
Concubine Oriole said, “Your Majesty, Miss Qingluan is the daughter of the Zuo family and the sacred lady of Firmament Palace. Apart from that, she’s also a very capable cultivator, not to mention that she has the True Phoenix Blood!
“Your Majesty, if His Royal Highness’s dragon bloodline is combined with the True Phoenix Blood, they’ll have such amazing children!
“In comparison, Feng Wu has nothing!
“Yes, she can cultivate again, but so what? Even if we can look past her cultivation level and personality, she still doesn’t have the True Phoenix Blood. Your Majesty, we have to cancel the engagement!”
Emperor Wu’s gaze turned cold.
“How much did the Zuo family pay you to speak up for them like that?” Emperor Wu’s face darkened.
“Your Majesty, I never… I meant every word I said!” Concubine Oriole dropped to her knees and trembled.
“That’s enough.” Finally, the empress dowager spoke.
She glanced at Emperor Wu. “Concubine Oriole only made a suggestion; there’s no need to shout at her.” She then had Emperor Wu sit down next to her.
“Junjun is old enough to get married and have children. As for who he should marry, it’s not up to us to decide,” the empress dowager said indifferently.
“Really? Who gets to make the decision, then?” Emperor Wu smiled at her.
‘The empress dowager said, “Fate.”
Emperor Wu asked, “How does that work?”
‘The empress dowager said, “Master Linghu will know. I’ve been trying to become the first precant of the year to ask him, but…”
Emperor Wu glanced at his mother.
If Master Linghu represented fate, then Zuo Qingluan had already lost.
Even as they were speaking, Feng Wu was on her way to see Master Linghu!
‘The empress dowager said, “Master Linghu said that he was going to keep that place for the most blessed child in the empire. I wonder who that is.”
Empress Dugu said, “Maybe it’s Qingluan.”
The empress dowager’s eyes lit up.. “Really?!”
