The Empress and Concubine De were pleased that Feng Cang had married Murong Qiqi. Both of them kept flattering Wanyan Lie. "Princess, you look so beautiful today!" Li Bing smiled as she asked someone to bring the gift she had prepared for Murong Qiqi. "I wish you love each other and have children soon!"
The Empress, Li Bing, gave Wanyan Lie a pair of top-grade jade bracelets, which immediately won Wanyan Lie's praise. Seeing that Li Bing was so generous, Concubine De, Lin Kexin, did not want to be outdone. Her gift was a child-giving Guanyin carved out of white jade. The jade Guanyin was as white as milk, without a single flaw. In addition, it had a very good meaning, so the people around them all praised it.
"Many children bring many blessings! Alright! " Wanyan Lie's' good 'made Lin Kexin's eyebrows dance. She looked at Li Bing provocatively with a proud expression.
After that, more people came to send gifts. Murong Qiqi did not reject any of these gifts and had Su Mei and Su Yue accept them.
"Your Majesty, you haven't sent the gift yet." Lin Kexin's gentle voice carried a hint of coquettishness. For the past two days, Wanyan Lie had been resting in her Meditation Hall. With the nourishment of a man, Lin Kexin's complexion had become even more enchanting. She was obviously over forty years old, yet she was acting coquettishly like a young man. Murong Qiqi could not help but have goosebumps.
"En, we will confer the title of Sunshine Princess as a First Rank Princess! You don't have to kneel when you see me. You can enter and leave the palace at any time. You will be rewarded with a yellow magua and enjoy the same privileges as the Southern Lin Prince! "
Wanyan Lie's words caused an uproar in the hall. What did that mean? Murong Qiqi was a woman. How could she enjoy the same authority as the Southern Lin Duke? Feng Cang held the military power of the Northern Zhou Kingdom, so he did not need to greet Wanyan Lie. His status was equivalent to that of a prince. Right now, Murong Qiqi's treatment had completely surpassed the Crown Princess, Yu Shishi. Didn't that mean that Wanyan Lie wanted to change the Crown Prince?
The thoughts of the Emperor were not something that these people could guess. Everyone could only exchange glances below, and those who were braver would make a few comments. Only the princes were still seated. No one knew what they were thinking, but they remained calm on the surface.
The only one who revealed his true thoughts was Wanyan Hong. He gripped the wine cup so tightly that the veins on his hand bulged. Yu Shishi, who was beside him, could see Wanyan Hong's hand tremble slightly and a drop of wine splashed onto his clothes.
"Your Highness —" Yu Shishi didn't know what to say. Although she didn't love this man, their interests were tied together. Wanyan Lie's actions were undoubtedly harming the interests of the Crown Prince, Wanyan Hong, and her interests as well. At this time, she had to stand on the same side as Wanyan Hong.
"I'm fine." Wanyan Hong gritted his teeth as he stared at Feng Cang's back. Why do you have to fight with me for everything? Why does Imperial Father treat you better than me? Why did everything that was mine end up being yours? Why!
Wanyan Hong refused to admit defeat. The Second Prince, Wanyan Yi, also had a different opinion. If there were only him and Wanyan Hong without Feng Cang, then he would definitely be able to defeat Wanyan Hong and become an outstanding monarch.
But now, there was Feng Cang, and his father doted on Feng Cang far more than any of the other princes. This caused the Second Prince to feel an unprecedented sense of danger. Wanyan Yi glanced at his Imperial Brother Wanyan Hong, who also had a gloomy expression on his face.
No matter how much he and Wanyan Hong fought, they both had the bloodline of the Wanyan Clan. At most, it would just be internal strife. However, Feng Cang, a prince of the opposite sex, had power and status above them. At this time, shouldn't they work together to eliminate Feng Cang and deal with him?
Murong Qiqi was' wild with joy 'at Wanyan Lie's' favor '. She immediately bowed and thanked the Emperor. Wanyan Lie looked at the couple with a smile. He was very satisfied with them.
The spectators from Xiqi all had different feelings when they saw Murong Qiqi and Feng Cang.
If Shangguan Wuji couldn't bear to let go of her before, then when he saw the happy smile on Murong Qiqi's face, he felt a kind of 'release' in his heart. Perhaps he was just unwilling to accept that someone else could give her happiness. But now, when he saw her smile like a flower, he completely let go of those heavy feelings in his heart.
"He will give her happiness." As someone who had experienced it, how could Li Yunqing not know what Shangguan Wuji was thinking? His eyes couldn't lie, and Li Yunqing had also slowly walked out of it.
"I hope so!" Shangguan Wuji drank the wine in his cup in one gulp. "If Feng Cang betrays her, I will definitely not let him off!"
"Not just you, I won't either!" Li Yunqing poured wine for Shangguan Wuji and himself. The two of them drank the wine in their cups again, as if they were making a promise at the same time.
Longze Jingtian heard the words of these two men clearly. So they also had the same thoughts. However, they could let go and watch her become someone else's bride, but he couldn't! In Longze Jingtian's heart, there was always a voice calling out. She belongs to you! Murong Qiqi is your consort!
This voice had occupied Longze Jingtian's heart for a long time! Whatever Feng Cang could give her, be it power, status or wealth, he could also give her. As for his sincerity, he didn't need to lack Feng Cang! He wasn't willing!
Longze Jingtian's gaze was always on Murong Qiqi. He didn't know that there were two women looking at him with the same infatuated eyes.
One was Murong Qinglian. Perhaps what she couldn't get was the best, so no matter how cold Longze Jingtian was to her, she still had fantasies about him. In her eyes, a man who didn't fall in love with a woman was someone who knew how to cherish and love himself. If she could get the love of such a man, it would definitely be a lifetime of happiness.
The other was Wanyan Baozhu. During this period of time, she was almost tortured to death by Wanyan Hong.
That pervert would invite her over whenever he was free, saying that he was "communicating with his royal sister", but in reality, he was bullying her. Her pitiful butt had yet to recover, and it was already drenched in blood. She couldn't even sit now, because the place where she touched the stool was burning with pain. She could only lean to one side and release her strength, changing it after it stiffened.
In Wanyan Baozhu's heart, the only person who could save her was Longze Jingtian. If Beizhou and Xiqi united by marriage, she could marry Longze Jingtian successfully, and she wouldn't have to endure that pervert's torture.
