The Tempestuous Consort - Wilfully Pampered by the Beastly Highness - Chapter 1205

Chapter 1205: Did Not Want To Disguise Herself Anymore

The maid who stood on the side replied, “You fainted, so I, your maid, have brought you back. Miss Azurite has examined you and assured us that there was nothing to worry about. However, you still need to rest.”

Feng Tianlan gently acknowledged this, got off the bed, and went into the room next door. When she pushed open the door and saw Feng Shu still carrying her pillow, holding on to the amulet and repeatedly muttering about Dai’er, she found herself touched by the love of her mother and her heart softened.

Because she had a mother, she could still be just like a teenager, freely behaving like a spoiled baby. She was filled with happiness.

Feng Tianlan accompanied Feng Shu into the room, telling her about everything that had happened since she was young, choosing to leave out the negative parts of her life. Even though Feng Shu did not show any reaction, Feng Tianlan continued to speak with enthusiasm. She felt like she had returned to old times when she would often look for her mother just to chat with her.

“Miss, the Empress has sent someone to pass a message. She wants you to go to the palace to see her,” Azurite knocked on the door and informed her softly.

Feng Tianlan raised her eyes slightly. “Give this reply, ask her to come and see me herself.”

Azurite answered “yes”, then backed away.

Feng Tianlan acted as if nothing happened and continued to talk to Feng Shu. She looked just like a shy little girl. “Mother, I have found the one for me. His name is Si Mobai and he is the master of the Bailan Alliance. Isn’t Dai’er great, I’ve found such a capable husband. He is so naughty, even though he has yet to marry me, he is already addressing you as his Mother-in-law…”

Feng Shu held the amulet in her hands and looked at the pillow blankly with her head lowered. Her empty gaze flickered once in a while at Feng Tianlan’s words as if she understood some of what was said. However, she would lift up her head to listen attentively only when Feng Tianlan talked about her childhood days.

When Feng Wu heard the reply conveyed to her by the maid, she instantly became so angry that she threw the memorial at her. Her face also turned red with anger. “Feng Tianlan!”

What an arrogant woman who thought so highly of herself! Just the day before, she had forced her to kneel down to pay respects to her, and now today, she even outrightly rejected her summons and also asked her to go see her instead?

Who did Feng Tianlan think she was, and how dare she be so arrogant? She really overestimated herself!

“Let General Zuo go and find out what Feng Tianlan is doing at the Lady Phoenix Shrine. Moreover, I hear that she is looking for someone called Luo Yunzhu. Send some people to search the entire Tianfeng Nation for her whereabouts,” Feng Wu instructed with a dark and sullen face.

There was no need to investigate what had happened to Feng Tianlan previously as Feng Yunsheng had already handed over all the relevant information, including the fact that she was Shen Qingdai, Feng Shu’s daughter.

Upon thinking about Feng Yunsheng’s actions, Feng Wu laughed coldly. “I thought she was rather clean and innocent, but who knew that she would become so scheming not long after leaving. It seems that she really doesn’t want to disguise herself anymore.”

After receiving the order, General Zuo made a trip to the Lady Phoenix Shrine personally. However, he could not enter the main hall. When he asked the maids, they did not reveal any useful information. He could only return dejectedly to inform the Empress, “Your Majesty, the Lady Phoenix Shrine is heavily guarded and the people there are tight-lipped. I could not get any information.”

“Useless things!” Feng Wu flared up again. She lifted up her hand to throw the memorial at him.

General Zuo did not dodge but let the memorial hit his head, causing a bruise to form. “Your Majesty is right.”

When she saw how General Zuo responded, Feng Wu’s mood became better. “Let me ask you, when did the Prime Minister get to know Feng Tianlan? Did anything happen during your journey?”

Ji You had been protecting Feng Tianlan. Although his gaze did not look very different, she did not know why, but she felt that it was a little strange.

Chapter 1206: Are You Willing To Be My Royal Husband?

He did not look at her like a subordinate looking at his master but more like a man looking at the woman he liked. The more she thought like this, the more terrible Feng Wu felt in her heart.

She had made it clear on several occasions, that she was not afraid of the power of the Ji family, that she would still make him her wife, and even let him continue working as an official even after he joined her harem. It was the first time in the history of Tianfeng Nation that such an honor had been bestowed.

If it were someone else, he would have eagerly agreed to be with her long ago, but Ji You was an exception. The more obvious she made her intentions, the further he hid from her. In the end, he refused to have any interactions with her other than those necessary for official work.

After such a comparison, Feng Wu, who was initially only angry at Feng Tianlan, developed a sense of hatred towards her due to jealousy, so much so that her teeth ground together.

Ji You received the summons and entered the palace quickly. When he saw Feng Wu, he saluted her, “I, your subordinate, have come to see Your Majesty.”

Feng Wu ensured that her emotions were well concealed and looked at Ji You condescendingly. “Although the Lady Phoenix has already settled down at the Lady Phoenix Shrine on her own, proper etiquette must not be ignored. Choose an auspicious date so that we can announce her arrival and make her legitimate.”

“I have already chosen the auspicious date, it will be the thirteenth of the coming month,” Ji You replied steadily in a low voice.

Feng Wu clenched her fists, then continued to say, “You are indeed my good prime minister.”

Ji You simply stood respectfully and did not reply. He had his own way of dealing with Her Majesty with his cold attitude.

“Prime Minister, I will ask you again. Are you willing to be my royal husband?” Feng Wu could not control herself, and again, decided to put her self-esteem aside. Her imperial mother had taught her that in the position of Empress, she should not make decisions based on her emotion. However, when it came to Ji You, she could not put her emotions aside.

Ji You gestured with folded hands and seemed very horrified. “The harem is not where I hope to be. Your Majesty, please choose someone else.”

“Ji You, why do you not like me?” Another round of rejection, coupled with the appearance of Feng Tianlan, made Feng Wu incapable of controlling her anger. If she ignored her pride as the ruler of the nation, she was just a young lady in her early twenties, deeply in love and unable to hide what she was thinking.

“Before I find my master, I do not intend to be involved in romantic relationships, let alone start a family.” Ji You successfully ended the conversation like this. Then, he folded his hands. “I still have matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and left without waiting for Feng Wu to open her mouth in response.

“Ji You!” Feng Wu was so angry she flipped everything on the table to the floor, clenching her teeth in disdain as she watched Ji You leave.

Ji You stood at the entrance of the hall. When he heard the sound of things falling to the ground, his eyebrows did not twitch and he walked away in big steps.

The following days passed rather peacefully. Feng Tianlan stayed at the Lady Phoenix Shrine and accompanied Feng Shu while also spending time on cultivation and promoting her spiritual force. When she had free time, she would go and take a look at the two portraits of Wu Ya and Yunyi. However, ever since that time, she had never dreamt of anything related to them. Everything about them was just like a dream.

With regards to the maids at the Lady Phoenix Shrine, Feng Tianlan was very impressed by them. This was because they completely obeyed all her orders without a single tinge of doubt.

As the date for the announcement of the new Lady Phoenix drew near, Feng Wu could no longer be at peace. She did not care if she was putting herself in a lower position, she finally went to the Lady Phoenix Shrine to find Feng Tianlan.

“Miss, the Empress is outside, hoping to see you.” Azurite came in to report.

“Let her wait.” Feng Tianlan raised her eyes to look at the two paintings hanging in the hall and her gaze landed on Wu Ya’s face. His peach blossom eyes were like peach blossom wine and he looked at Yunyi, who was next to him, tenderly and affectionately. It was easy to tell he had a doting gaze even from the portrait.
