From then on, no one doubted the late emperor's decision, and Feng Xiao became the Crown Prince.
The late emperor didn't ask for Feng Cang or Feng Qiqi's opinion. Instead, he asked for Feng Xiao's opinion. That child, no, the new Emperor had only replied with one sentence, "It seems to be very fun!" The late Emperor knew that he had agreed.
After Feng Xiao became the Crown Prince, Phoenix came to the Southern Phoenix Nation to visit her brother.
That was the first time I saw Young Lord Phoenix. When she ran over in her snow-white dress, I felt the late emperor's body tremble.
Young Lord was a miniature version of that woman. Whether it was her smile, frown, or anger, she looked exactly like that woman. After all, she was her flesh and blood!
When I saw Young Lord Phoenix, I looked at the late emperor worriedly. I saw shock in his eyes, but there was no other emotion besides shock. At that time, I heaved a sigh of relief. I was worried that the late emperor would shift his love from Feng Qiqi to Young Lord Phoenix, who looked exactly like her. However, it seemed that I was thinking too much. The late emperor didn't do that.
The late emperor treated Young Lord Phoenix like his own daughter and pampered her to the heavens.
I had never seen the late emperor pamper someone like that. He held Young Lord Phoenix in his arms so that she could see the scenery from a higher position. He peeled the lychee and fed it to Young Lord Phoenix.
Since Young Lord Phoenix liked white, he ordered people to weave silk that was softer than clouds to make new clothes for her.
In short, the late emperor gave all his love to Young Lord Phoenix. He even wanted to bestow the Little Phoenix Mistress the title of Princess, but was rejected by the Little Phoenix Mistress. Young Lord Phoenix said something that the late emperor didn't pay attention to, but I heard it clearly.
"Mingyue Cheng, I don't want to be a princess! Princesses are too far away from you! "
The late emperor thought that he was being childish, but I saw something in Young Lord Phoenix's eyes. At that time, my heart trembled, but when Young Lord Phoenix looked at me, I lowered my head.
Young Lord Phoenix was very satisfied with my reaction. She enjoyed the late emperor's love and wrote a letter to her parents, telling them that she liked the Southern Phoenix Nation and that she wanted to stay there.
I don't know what Feng Qiqi will think after reading the letter, but it's likely that she and Feng Cang have no idea that their seven-year-old daughter has fallen in love with the late emperor. Only I, an outsider, could see the glint in those clear eyes. Even the late Emperor didn't notice it.
Little Phoenix Lord stayed in the palace for eight years.
Eight years, time flew by like a shuttle. From a little girl, Little Phoenix Lord had grown into a slender and elegant young lady.
At that time, Feng Qiqi had already disappeared from the world. The title of the most beautiful woman had passed from Princess Mingyue to Feng Qiqi, and then to Young Master Phoenix.
Although she was only fifteen years old, the Little Phoenix Lord had already become a famous beauty in the continent. She was as pure as the dew on the green leaves in the morning, and as clean as the snow lotus blooming on the Tianshan Mountain. Everyone who had seen the Young Lord Phoenix would be intoxicated by her gentle smile and amiable voice.
Like her mother, she had an eye-catching charm and a modesty that could not be found in nobles.
As she grew older, Young Master Phoenix's good name became known to everyone, and she became the object of admiration for many aristocratic families' young masters.
"Mingyue Cheng, I don't like those men!" Young Master Phoenix Lord was gentle, but she would only change her face at one time, and that was when someone confessed to her. Every time Young Master Phoenix Lord said this, the late Emperor would rub her head and ask intimately, "Long 'er, what kind of men do you like? I'll find one for you! "
"I like you!"
Young Master Phoenix Lord had always been straightforward and generous. I still remembered the first time she said this. The late Emperor was stunned for a moment, but he laughed soon after. "Long 'er, I'm old."
The late Emperor's words revealed two meanings. First, he already knew that Young Master Phoenix Lord loved him. Second, he wouldn't accept Young Master Phoenix Lord's feelings.
How could a smart person like Young Master Phoenix Lord not know such an answer? But her answer was even more surprising. "Mingyue Cheng, I won't give up!"
If someone were to ask me what would happen when two people with strong wills collide, I would tell him. I would tell him that it would be a test of his heart and emotions. It would be a struggle akin to running a marathon. It would be … an earth-shattering event!
I met Feng Qiqi again during Young Master Phoenix's coming-of-age ceremony. When she stood next to Young Master Phoenix Lord, I couldn't tell their ages. People who didn't know better might even think that they were twin sisters.
Feng Qi Qi's husband and son also came with her. Their family reunited in the late Emperor's palace.
The late Emperor was very happy to see Feng Qi Qi, and he didn't stop smiling for the whole night. In Young Master Phoenix Lord's eyes, it was a painful scene.
That night, when the late Emperor was drunk, I served him by his side. Late at night, Young Master Phoenix Lord suddenly came. She was wearing thin clothes, and she lay down beside the late Emperor. I was so surprised that I almost cried out, but she sealed my acupoints first, making me unable to move.
"Why can't you look at me more? We're only twenty-six years apart! Why won't you accept me? "
Young Master Phoenix Lord snuggled in the late Emperor's arms, looking as pitiful as a child. Her tearful appearance and voice made my heart ache.
"When you were born, I wasn't born. When I was born, you were already old. But I don't care. I don't care at all! "
Just as Young Master Phoenix Lord was about to kiss the late Emperor, the late Emperor opened his eyes and stopped her 'ridiculous' behavior.
"Long 'er, I only have your mother in my heart. She's the woman I love the most in my life, and she's the only woman I love. You once asked me why the empress' position was empty, but I didn't answer you. Now, I'll tell you that I promised your mother that the empress' position would always be reserved for her.
"Long 'er, in my eyes, you're just a child. I can't be with your mother, but I treat you and your brothers as my own children. I only love you, not the love between a man and a woman.
"Long 'er, you should find a young man to love you instead of relying on me!"
