The gentle sunlight shone down on Feng Tianlan, bathing her in golden light. She was as pretty as a fairy, making it hard for anyone to look away. It was hard to not be moved at the sight of such peerless beauty.
Gu Nansheng saw the Beiqi Emperor approach and shouted in a deep voice, “Father.”
The Beiqi Emperor looked as if he didn’t hear her. His eyes were only focused on Feng Tianlan’s slowly disappearing smile. Her smile had outshone the heaven and earth. One would really give up anything just to see her smile. “Miss Feng, have you had your breakfast?”
She had been here for three days. It would indeed be bad hospitality if he didn’t invite her for a meal. As the emperor, he should have a meal with her to prevent people from talking bad about him.
Gu Nansheng stepped forward and blocked the Beiqi Emperor’s view of her. “Tianlan had eaten. I am sending her out of the palace now. If Father doesn’t have anything to do, please spend more time with Mother.”
“Out of the palace? She was just here for a few days. Can’t she leave after Sheng’er gets married?” The Beiqi Emperor stepped sideways and peered at Feng Tianlan again. “Did I not serve you well? Is there anything that Miss Feng is discontented with?’
“Nansheng, I will take my leave now.” Feng Tianlan frowned slightly. She tapped her toes gently. She was in the air in a flash and landed on the glazed tiles. Her movement was like a swallow as she disappeared into the distance. Azurite followed right behind her.
The Beiqi Emperor raised his head and looked in her direction. He only saw Feng Tianlan’s white dress fluttering in the wind. The figure that was floating away from him through the air made him feel like he was watching the goddess, Chang’er, fly to the moon. He felt extremely upset, not knowing how to make her stay.
After seeing him like that, Gu Nansheng frowned and bowed slightly. “Take care, Father.” After that, she turned around and returned to her residential palace.
If she knew that her father would be interested in Feng Tianlan, she wouldn’t have brought her into the palace. Tianlan must have felt disgusted. Even she felt embarrassed at her father’s actions.
The guards in the palace were like decorations to Feng Tianlan. She was out of the palace and on the streets in just a short moment.
Wu Yuan who had been about to enter the palace saw Feng Tianlan leaving the palace in such a flamboyant manner. He was quite surprised and couldn’t help but come forward to ask her, “Miss Feng, is there anything wrong?”
“Nothing.” Miss Feng glanced at him without any expression on her face.
Wu Yuan looked at her, then at the nearby palace gate. No imperial guards were chasing after her. He nodded.
Feng Tianlan didn’t bother conversing with him. She took Azurite with her and left as if he had been an unimportant stranger.
Wu Yuan watched Feng Tianlan’s disappearing figure with a slight disappointment and dropped his head. He felt like he had that afternoon when she had given him the pill and then left.
She didn’t remember who he was and would probably never remember at all.
“That is Feng Tianlan?” Wu Qi, who was beside him, was staring after Feng Tianlan. He regained his senses after being momentarily dumbstruck. That glimpse of her just now was really a surprise.
From the bordering towns to the capital city, this was Wu Yuan’s first time in a month seeing her in woman’s clothing. Although he knew she was a woman long ago, he never expected her to look so pretty in woman’s clothing.
Wu Yuan let out a deep “uh-huh” as he raised his head and gave Wu Qi a warning look.
“She’s alright. She is still no match for the princess.” Wu Qi tugged the corner of his mouth and said to Wu Yuan, “How about you marry Feng Tianlan and I marry the princess. This way, I won’t fight with you over Evanesce City anymore.”
Feng Tianlan was indeed beautiful, but she was not his cup of tea. He preferred someone like Gu Nansheng. He wasn’t going to give up on her just because someone else was more beautiful.
Wu Yuan looked at him faintly. “Don’t insult Miss Feng like that.”
