Chapter 237 - 12 Feng Yi Xuan’s Love
12 Feng Yi Xuan’s Love
After Lan You Nian heard Yue Bing Yu’s words, that face as exquisite and delicate as a fairy’s, because of the laziness and mischievous smile on her lips, added a sense of mortality to her, falling from the noble heavens.
“You want to marry Xuan?” Lan You Nian fiddled with Feng Yi Xuan’s slender and wide palm without sparing Yue Bing Yu a look. Lan You Nian knew Feng Yi Xuan was so wonderful so it’s expected that there were women who coveted him but Lan You Nian trusted Feng Yi Xuan’s love for her. Feng Yi Xuan could not be stolen away by any means. But not everyone can be coveted. Lan You Nian disliked those women who appeared by Feng Yi Xuan’s side.
Yue Bing Yu felt stuffy in her heart as she looked at the arrogant Lan You Nian, determined that Prince Ming only liked Lan You Nian for her looks. Such a woman who didn’t know when to retreat or to treat the man as her world, how long can Prince Ming like her? Yue Bing Yu felt it was normal for there to be many women by Prince Ming’s side. All women accepted that men would have a harem of women. The vow of one true love Prince Ming had given to Lan You Nian made Yue Bing Yu fantasize she can become the object of such love.
“Yes, this princess came to Feng empire to give my blessings for the coronation of Feng empire’s Emperor. Secondly, this princess brought several cities for a peace marriage! The person this princess wants to marry is Prince Ming!” Yue Bing Yu said as she bashfully looked at Feng Yi Xuan, hoping to see some tenderness in Feng Yi Xuan’s eyes, but unfortunately, Feng Yi Xuan didn’t even spare her a look. His gaze was always focused on Lan You Nian. Even from afar, Yue Bing Yu can still feel the gentleness and pampering in that gaze.
Lan You Nian lazily lifted her eyes. Even just a simple movement, Lan You Nian gave it an enchanting flavor, captivating everyone in the hall. They compared the two, feeling that no matter whether it was looks or comportment, Yue Bing Yu could not compare to Lan You Nian.
“Is Princess Bing Yu losing your hearing at such a young age? This is an illness that needs to be treated!” Lan You Nian covered her mouth giggling, “Xuan once said only one person in this lifetime. If Princess Bing Yu knows, why would you want Xuan to be a faithless person? Besides, this junzhu’s man, can just anyone covet?”
This was the first time Lan You Nian declared Feng Yi Xuan to be hers so strongly. This should be a disregard of a man’s face but Feng Yi Xuan, upon hearing Lan You Nian’s overbearing words, was overjoyed, even adding, “No one can covet this prince. This prince is Nian Nian’s, only Nian Nian’s.”
Feng Xia Qi couldn’t bear to look at it anymore. What has his mighty imperial younger brother become, losing all manliness? If this continues on, Feng Xia Qi feared Lan You Nian will kidnap his younger brother to Lan manor to be the son-in-law to marry in. However, Feng Xia Qi didn’t know that Feng Yi Xuan was about to this exact thing previously.
Lan Jian Jun wore a stern aged face as he looked at his mighty daughter, his eyes filled with agreement. His Lan Jian Jun’s daughter should be like this. No one can steal her husband. However, this Prince Ming did very well, didn’t disappoint him the father-in-law. It looks like once his daughter comes of age, he can marry her to Prince Ming with an easy heart.
Yue Bing Yu’s eyes reddened from Lan You Nian and Feng Yi Xuan’s complementing words. Unfortunately, she wanted to attract attention but no one paid her any heed, though the perverts in the hall shot her obscene looks, for Yue Bing Yu wore a scanty outfit and with her actions, one can’t blame men for overthinking.
“Is Lan junzhu so overbearing? Should such a good man as Prince Ming be monopolized by Lan junzhu?” Yue Bing Yu said in dissatisfaction. Her status and position, which one was lacking compared to that woman? Why can Lan You Nian obtain Prince Ming’s pampering while she can’t?
Lan You Nian pursed her lips as if she was truly considering it. All eyes were on Lan You Nian, seeing what Lan junzhu would answer with. A few breaths later, Lan You Nian asked, “Are you as pretty as this junzhu?”
Yue Bing Yu was hit where it hurts. She believed herself to be the most beautiful woman in the world but now, no matter how she refused to admit it, she knew her looks were nothing compared to Lan You Nian, but she cannot admit defeat like this.
“This princess doesn’t have Lan junzhu’s good looks but to marry a wife is to marry the virtuous. So what if Lan junzhu is beautiful. Even the most beautiful woman will grow old with age!” Yue Bing Yu said mournfully. She wasn’t stupid. If she didn’t meet Prince Ming, she might be able to find a good man to live the rest of her life with. It’s a pity…
“To marry a wife is to marry virtue. Princess Bing Yu is right. Then, how does Princess Bing Yu feel about your music and dance, is it better than this princess?” Lan You Nian once again demanded without a hint of humbleness. However, everyone knew Lan You Nian had the ability to back such arrogance. Her songs and dance were truly unprecedented and peerless.
Yue Bing Yu struggled to hold herself back. She really wanted to curse at Lan You Nian. This woman did it on purpose, purposefully gloating in front of her, purposefully exhibiting herself in front of Prince Ming and taking a hit at her, letting Prince Ming dislike her. Yue Bing Yu felt the first thing she must do once she married Prince Ming was to kill this woman. Undoubtedly, Yue Bing Yu overthought.
“This princess isn’t good at any of those things, but…” Yue Bing Yu wanted to explain she was still a talented woman but Lan You Nian wasn’t interested in what she wanted to say so she broke her off.
“You’re not better than me in anything yet you still want to marry Xuan. You think there’s a problem with Xuan’s eyes? Besides, this princess ask you another question, do you know Xuan dislikes you? As a woman, as well as a princess, you shamelessly speak so plainly in front of a man’s fiance, I really don’t know if this Pricness Bing Yu is open-minded or is thick-faced!” Lan You Nian smiled gently, but the entire hall filled with snickers, even the Emperor and Empress could help from laughing, so all the ministers fearlessly laughed out loud.
Yue Bing Yu shook under the guffaws. If before she was only jealous of Lan You Nian, she now hated Lan You Nian to the bones. She must kill this woman, just like the other women she killed before. She must have someone mercilessly torture this woman, have her beg for mercy, have her cry.
“This princess is a princess of Yue empire, carrying several cities! This princess thinks Prince Ming knows the benefits of marrying this princess. Besides, Lan junzhu is too anxious. Prince Ming hasn’t said anything!” Yue Bing Yu refused to admit defeat. Her biggest bargaining chip was the several cities on her. Yue Bing Yu believed no one would pass over such benefits. Even if she had to make herself into an object, it was all worth it if she married Prince Ming.
Many ministers of Feng empire were moved by this. Though Feng empire was the strongest empire amongst the four empires, all people wanted the best. If they had these cities, Feng empire will become more powerful. Many ministers looked at Prince Ming, though they feared Prince Ming’s aura and gaze, they wished Prince Ming to consider it.
Feng Yi Xuan didn’t bother with Yue Bing Yu and the ministers’ gaze. It was Lan You Nian who pushed Feng Yi Xuan’s arm, “Xuan, the princess is waiting for your answer. That is several cities!” Her tone carried a hint of stuffiness and jealousy, but one can’t see her displeasure from her face.
Feng Yi Xuan finally spared Yue Bing Yu a look but his eyes didn’t contain a trace of Yue Bing Yu. Feng Yi Xuan ridiculed, “This prince once said I will only love and only marry Nian Nian. What are you to question Nian Nian?”
Feng Yi Xuan’s words were harsh. It was blatantly slapping Yue Bing Yu’s face. Feng Yi Xuan didn’t give Yue Bing Yu any face due to her identity as a princess, even maliciously humiliating Yue Bing Yu with his words. Anyone who made Nian Nian unhappy, Feng Yi Xuan will not show any mercy, not even just words!
“I…” Yue Bing Yu stared despondently at Feng Yi Xuan. Prince Ming who she has loved for so many years protects another woman in public yet treated her with malicious words. Yue Bing Yu refused to accept this. Why should she!?
Reaching out a hand to wipe away her tears, she still refused to give up, “Why? If you marry this princess, Feng empire will obtain several cities. Doesn’t Prince Ming know this? Doesn’t Feng empire’s Emperor know this?” Yue Bing Yu still held to a strand of hope. She hoped no matter for what reason Prince Ming will marry her. Hence, she threw away her pride as a princess and reserve as a woman, to tell everyone, to tell the Emperor, just to obtain this man. This man has already become an obsessive dream of hers!
Feng Yi Xuan suddenly stood, his eyes cold as the pressure he outputted made it unbearable for others in the hall, “Just a few cities. If this prince wants it, I’ll take it. Or do you think this prince’s military merits came about for no reason? Besides…” Feng Yi Xuan looked at all the people present, his eyes sharp as blades like the icicles in the cold harsh winter, glimmering coldly under the sunlight, “Nian Nian is my, Feng Yi Xuan’s, wife. No power or position can compare! If someone makes Nian Nian angry, this prince doesn’t mind bringing a bloodbath to anyone!”
Such a person, standing before you was enough to scare them out of their wits. Having such a person, having no thoughts except for killing. Such a person, besides making others feel a bone-chilling coldness, there is nothing else. This person was Feng Yi Xuan.
Lan You Nian’s black eyes as big as grapes emitted soft light as she looked at Feng Yi Xuan. She felt her previous death happened so she could meet this man, because this man was her soulmate. Because of him, there was her, Nian Nian, a unique Nian Nian, being spoiled, loved and pampered, belonging to Feng Yi Xuan.
