Six days passed in the blink of an eye.
It was early in the morning and the monarch's residence was as peaceful as ever.
To the southeast of the mountain range, there was a mirror-like lake with a radius of a hundred miles. It was Graceful Cloud Lake.
The lake was surrounded by mountains and was shrouded in clouds.
The lake water was so clear that one could see the bottom. It contained strands of five-colored spirit energy that refracted colorful lights, making it seem like a dream.
This lake was one of the scenic spots in the monarch's residence.
Although Graceful Cloud Lake's location was a bit remote, there were always people with stories who would come here to relax and enjoy the scenery.
At this moment, under a thousand-year-old tree by the lake, there stood a beautiful woman in a long green dress.
She was tall and graceful, with a pure and beautiful face. Although she didn't wear any makeup or jewelry, it couldn't hide her natural beauty.
Moreover, she had an innate noble and demure temperament, like an orchid in an empty valley, quiet and fragrant.
She was An Suwan, who had just become a Heavenly Consort not long ago.
An Suwan stood under the ancient tree, her clear eyes staring at the sparkling lake. Her expression was as calm as water, but there was a hint of worry between her brows.
A gentle breeze blew against her face, causing her long hair to sway and dance gently.
However, this beautiful lake couldn't dispel the melancholy in her eyes or the melancholy in her heart.
And the person who could make her feel melancholy was her lover, her current husband, the Son of Heaven, Long Yunxiao.
The imperial court had already held a grand wedding for her and the Son of Heaven, and had even invited all the powerful cultivators of the human race to attend the ceremony.
Now that she was a well-known Heavenly Consort, all the women in the world were envious of her.
After the wedding, the Son of Heaven even brought her into the monarch's residence.
She wasn't the imperial son, but she was able to live and cultivate in the monarch's residence as a Heavenly Consort.
It was a most fortunate thing, and an honor for her. She ought to be happy and proud.
But now, she couldn't feel happy at all.
When the Son of Heaven chose her as his Heavenly Consort, she had a premonition that she would become the Heavenly Consort who was' closest to others, but farthest from others'.
Now, her premonition had finally come true.
On the night of the wedding, the emperor would rather drink himself into a stupor in the study room than return to his room to sleep.
The Emperor didn't even remove her red veil and let her sit in her room for the whole night.
Although the Emperor brought her into the Emperor's Mansion, he never looked for her again after settling her down.
Half a month had passed. An Suwan's uneasiness and melancholy grew stronger and stronger.
Therefore, she came to Yunxiu Lake early in the morning to relax.
Unknowingly, An Suwan had been standing under the tree by the lake for more than two hours without moving a single step.
At this moment, in the sky not far behind her, there was a clear chirp of a bird and a woman's voice.
"Eh? Aren't you An … Sister An? "
This crisp female voice broke the tranquility of the lakeside.
An Suwan snapped out of her daze and turned her head to look behind her. She saw a spiritual bird with pure white feathers flying towards her.
Standing on the back of the spirit bird was a woman wearing a long dress, a jade crown, and a golden hairpin.
That woman was about eighteen or nineteen years old. She had a graceful figure and a beautiful face. Compared to An Suwan, she wasn't inferior. The only difference was that their temperaments were different.
When An Suwan saw her face clearly, she was also startled. A trace of surprise appeared on her charming face.
"Swoosh!"
In the blink of an eye, that white spirit bird flew to the lakeside and landed.
The woman in the palace dress jumped onto the grass by the lakeside and walked towards An Suwan.
"Sister An … Oh, no, I should call you Heavenly Consort now."
The woman in the palace dress arrived in front of An Suwan and bowed. She asked with a smile, "Heavenly Consort, why are you here?"
An Suwan looked at the woman in the palace dress and frowned in confusion. She asked, "Huixin, why are you in the Emperor's Mansion?"
Without a doubt, the woman in the palace dress was Lan Huixin.
She saw that An Suwan's expression was strange and seemed to be deeply worried. She asked with concern, "Heavenly Consort, you just got married to the Emperor. This is a joyous occasion for the whole world to celebrate.
You don't seem to be happy. Could it be that something happened? "
When An Suwan heard Lan Huixin's words, her lips curled into a self-mocking smile. She shook her head lightly and said, "Little Sister Huixin, don't call me Heavenly Consort. You should just call me Sister An."
Lan Huixin widened her eyes slightly and revealed a puzzled expression. "Sister An, what's wrong? Could it be that you and the Emperor … quarreled? "
An Suwan shook her head again and said calmly, "The Emperor is incomparably honorable. He's also my husband. How could I quarrel with him?"
Lan Huixin revealed a concerned expression and pretended to be worried. She said, "Sister An, you must have something on your mind for you to come to Yunxiu Lake alone to relax.
If you don't mind, why don't you tell Little Sister about it? Perhaps you'll feel better after you say it … "
An Suwan was indeed feeling depressed. She couldn't find anyone to talk to.
At this moment, she saw that Lan Huixin was full of concern. After hesitating for a moment, she nodded and said, "Thank you for your concern, Little Sister. It's just that I've been alone for too long and that's why I'm feeling depressed.
Everyone knows that a Heavenly Concubine has an honorable status. To be able to live together with the Emperor is a marriage that's cultivated over three lifetimes.
However, the world doesn't know that when you love someone without any reservations, but that person treats you like a dispensable decoration, what kind of situation and feeling is that … "
An Suwan opened up her heart and slowly told Lan Huixin the words that had been bottled up in her heart for a long time.
Lan Huixin listened quietly and comforted her from time to time. She appeared to be very gentle and kind. She was also quite concerned about An Suwan.
However, An Suwan didn't notice that in the depths of Lan Huixin's eyes, there was a hint of a sneer that was gloating over An Suwan's misfortune.
The more An Suwan was ignored, the more depressed she felt. Lan Huixin, on the other hand, became happier and more relieved.
Compared to Yun Yao, Lan Huixin hated An Suwan even more.
After all, An Suwan became a Heavenly Concubine and snatched away the position that she yearned for even in her dreams.
After a long time, An Suwan finally finished speaking the words in her heart and vented her depression. Only then did she calm down.
She turned her head to look at Lan Huixin and said with a sincere expression, "Younger Sister Huixin, thank you for accompanying me to relax and listen to me nag about these things …"
Lan Huixin hurriedly waved her hands and said, "Older Sister An, you're too polite. Actually, I can't help you much.
This is a matter of your relationship with the Emperor. If you want to untie the knot in your heart, you must muster up the courage to speak to the Emperor clearly.
After all, you're now a legitimate Heavenly Concubine. You don't have to swallow your anger and compromise like this anymore. "
An Suwan shook her head slightly and said with a bitter smile, "I actually want to have a good talk with the Emperor and let him understand my feelings.
However, ever since I entered the Monarch Estate, I haven't seen him again. Every time I go to find him, the guards say that he's in closed-door cultivation. "
Hearing this, Lan Huixin immediately frowned and said doubtfully, "That's impossible! In this half a month, I've already seen the Emperor several times!
