Chapter 30: Regret?

A chilly breeze blew across the crystal clear lake, the jade-green leaves swayed, and a few of the early blooms of the iris appeared and disappeared as if they were hide-and-seek with the green lotus leaves.

The faint fragrance was pleasing to the heart. When the wind blew, the fragrance of the lotus lingered in the air, and the petals of the iris fluttered and danced.

"Zi Yun, is this news true?" Feng Zhiyao was lazily lying in Ye Weiyang's arms while enjoying the fragrance, eating the peeled crystal grapes. She then heard Zi Yun say that Xuanyuan Haohan had just come to the Prime Minister's Mansion with a betrothal gift. She was truly curious.

"Eldest Miss, it's absolutely true. According to the servants, there are two large boxes of pearls from South Sea!" Seeing that Ye Weiyang didn't have any intentions of dodging, Zi Yun could only raise her eyebrows and say it clearly.

"Zi Yun, why would Xuanyuan Haohan want to marry me? He must have taken a fancy to the power of the Prime Minister's Mansion!" If he wanted her to give up her freedom, hmph, let Xuanyuan Haohan dream!

"Eldest Miss, but it is impossible for the old master to return the betrothal gift!" Judging from the Eldest Miss's words, she wasn't willing not to be married! Originally, Zi Yun was very happy that after the eldest miss had been withdrawn the marriage, someone finally came to propose a marriage. However, looking at the meaning of her eldest daughter's words, she clearly didn't want to marry!

"Zi Yun, you can leave first! You don't have to wait on me here. Hmm, let me think about how to deal with father later." Feng Zhiyao gently held a cup of tea in her hand. Her eyes landed on the lotus leaves that were swaying in the pond as she casually said.

After Zi Yun left, Ye Weiyang Jun's face darkened.

"I will not let you marry to Xuanyuan Haohan!" She already had a real thing with him, how could he let a girl he liked marry another man? So, of course, he would do his best to prevent her from marrying to another man!

"I know!" Feng Zhiyao's faint smile didn't change in the slightest. A light flashed across her eyes, and the smile on her lips turned into a teasing smile.

"Weiyang, are you jealous?"

"You clearly know how much I want to marry you, but you don't want me to propose to your father!" Ye Weiyang continued to hold her delicate body, unwilling to let go. Only, his eyes became a little gentler, and a cute blush appeared on his perfect handsome face.

"Well, what else?" Feng Zhiyao put down her teacup, smilingly looking up at him.

"Xuanyuan Haohan is ambitious, I am more suitable for you!" It wasn't that Ye Weiyang wanted to slander Xuanyuan Haohan, but he believed that he truly liked Feng Zhiyao, and his words were filled with confidence.

"Hehe … Hehe …" Feng Zhiyao's beautiful eyes sparkled as she giggled.

"Not only for your sake, but also for my own. I will think of a way to return the betrothal gift!" She had travelled through time to here, never thought that she would be married so easily!

What about her great dream? Therefore, she would rather be a golden single lady!

"Yao'er … It seems like someone is here. I'll hide for a bit." Ye Weiyang's hearing was extremely good. After saying this, he immediately dodged aside.

Feng Zhiyao nodded lightly. She gazed at Feng Wucai's thin figure walking towards her Begonia Garden, the smile on her red lips unabated.

She thought to herself, "This father is not bad. He knows that he should take the initiative to discuss that matter with me."

"Dad, why are you here?" Feng Zhiyao slowly stood up, smiled and said to him.

"The King of Qin suddenly sent the betrothal gift together with King of Qi. This makes me feel really uneasy! These two brothers have been on bad terms with each other. It was one thing for the King of Qi to be responsible for Qiong'er, but he insisted on marrying you and made her his concubine. What should we do?" Feng Wucai impatiently paced back and forth, not in the mood to look at the graceful lotus.

"Father, didn't King of Qi already send me the marriage annulment letter? Why did he suddenly go back on his words?" When Feng Zhiyao heard this, she was shocked. She thought that it's only the King of Qin, but King of Qi? Could it be that he regretted annulling the engagement?

After so much trouble, those two people were here to give her the betrothal gift! Would Feng Zhiqiong be angry if she found out?

Thinking up to here, Feng Zhiyao's lips curved up in a playful smile.

"It is said that the betrothal gift given by King of Qi is given by his mother, Imperial Concubine Duan. Yao'er, what should we do? We could not afford to offend either sides! I'm so worried!" Feng Wukai looked worried, as if he had suffered a great enmity.

"Dad, I have a way, come over here!" Feng Zhiyao told Feng Wucai what she had thought of.

"Yao'er, is this a safe way to deal with this?" God, didn't that mean him refusing the two princes' requests?

"Father, do you have a way to split me in half?" Feng Zhiyao still had a faint smile on her face as her eyes landed on the clear lake water.

Feng Wucai was stunned for a while before he shook his head helplessly.

"That's it. Father, quickly find someone to do this, and I will do the same." Feng Zhiyao's face was full of victory, her smile blossoming like a flower.

"OK, you're the daughter I doted with my heart. I won't allow you to marry into the royal family. OK, OK. I'll do as you say!" Feng Wucai's face was full of worry as he lovingly looked at Feng Zhiyao.

….

The King of Qin's mansion wasn't a simple, elegant and beautiful building. Instead, It was like a luxurious palace.

Seriously, the Phoenix Pavilions and Dragon Temples were serene and majestic.

A jade-white lake pavilion was built atop the rippling waves of the blue lake. On both sides of the pavilion were white jade steps. On the stone steps were carved auspicious clouds and qilins.

In the pavilion at the heart of the lake, the pink muslin fluttered gently. Occasionally, melodious zither music floated by.

Outside the pavilion, there was a beautiful maid playing the zither, elegant and graceful.

In the pavilion, a clear and melodious male voice rang out, "Fourth brother, your chess skills are becoming more and more good. I've lost to you again!"

The young man who spoke wore a set of white clothes with a few delicate green bamboos embroidered on the sleeves. His black hair was tied with a white jade hairpin.

Although he was laughing calmly, he didn't care about winning or losing at all.

"Eighteenth brother, you didn't come here today to play chess with your fourth brother, right?" Across from the man in white, a young man lying on a bed made from fine pear wood lazily cast a glance at him.

His eyes were bright like stars, and his sword-like eyebrows were like paintings. A graceful and leisurely smile hung on his handsome face.

"Fourth brother, I …" The white-clothed man was Xuanyuan Haoyun. Now that Xuanyuan Haohan saw through his thoughts, he wanted to say something, but hesitated.

"Forget it, you may leave first!" Xuanyuan Haohan waved his hand at the beautiful servant who was playing the zither, and that well-trained maid excused herself.

"Brother eighteenth, it's just the two of us here. If you have something to say, just say it!" Xuanyuan Haohan's long and flawless hand could be said to be perfect, leisurely sipping a delicate cup of tea.


CREATORS' THOUGHTS

Here are the two chapters for the day before yesterday

Chapter 31: Provoking

After letting out a sigh, Xuanyuan Haoyun's sight fell on the place where the jade-like ornament was hanging on Xuanyuan Haohan's waist, "Fourth brother, where's your Jade Qilin?"

"Jade Qilin? Uh, I gave it away!" Xuanyuan Haohan thought of that unique girl and a smile appeared on his pretty thin lips, carrying a bit of tenderness. Seeing this, Xuanyuan Haoyun's lips twitched violently. When did the indifferent fourth brother have such an expression?

"Fourth brother, You're crazy! What an important thing, why did you give it away so easily!" Even though he knew that fourth brother had given the Jade Qilin to a woman, he couldn't give it to the woman who had her marriage annulled by King of Qi!

This was the first time Xuanyuan Haoyun spoke in a sullen tone. He stood up in a huff, gazing at the white lotus blooming on the lake. He shook his head once again, expressing his anger and helplessness towards Xuanyuan Haohan for giving out the Jade Qilin.

"Because it's important, I want to give it to her!" Xuanyuan Haohan thought back to Feng Zhiyao's smiling face. His dark eyes narrowed, and his thick eyelashes were like wings, lightly hiding a trace of emotion that he shouldn't have in his eyes.

"Fourth brother, you're attracted!" Xuanyuan Haoyun's words weren't a question, but a confirmation.

That was why he went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to present the betrothal gift!

"Eighteenth brother, she saved me when I was following the man in black into the Prime Minister's Mansion and got my arm hurt when fighting with seventh brother! Now that her marriage has been annulled by seventh brother, and I promised her a favor before, so I went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to give her a betrothal gift." Xuanyuan Haohan thought about his fight with Feng Zhiyao and a hint of appreciation flashed across his eyes. Such a unique woman was rare in the world.

"But fourth brother, seventh brother's and your betrothal gifts have arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion at the same time. Sigh, the two of you have scared the young lady out of her wits, right? Several imperial doctors said that the eldest miss of Prime Minister is suffering from an illness, perhaps the days are numbered."

Xuanyuan Haoyun's elegant fingers slowly rotated the exquisite white jade teacup in his hand. The transparent liquid in the teacup was reflected in a pair of dark eyes that were like the ocean.

"Sick? Time is running out?" Xuanyuan Haohan gently smiled. His voice was like a clear spring that pierced through dense fog. He suddenly stood up, bent down, and picked up a lacquered wooden fish basin that was placed near the chess board on the stone table.

That girl must still be in love with seventh brother! Well, it was hard, but he couldn't find a single mistake in her move.

Since she was suffering from a "vicious disease", how could he force her to marry to him?

However, this was good as well. At the very least, the seventh brother wouldn't receive any benefits.

"Fourth brother, do you think we should go to Prime Minister's Mansion together to visit the young lady who is suffering from a severe illness?" Xuanyuan Haoyun found that he was in silence, so he thoughtfully suggested.

"No, she's doing it on purpose. How can I go and expose her! Let her do it! One day she will be a meek kitten in my arms! " Putting down the fish basin, Xuanyuan Haohan turned around and sat down once again. Holding a cup of tea, he slowly rubbed the rim of the cup, speaking in a faint voice while his eyes flashed with unintentional doting.

"Fourth brother, it seems like nineth brother's people secretly contacted the people from the Xi Liang Kingdom. Did the person you were tracking escape to the Prime Minister's Mansion and then disappear?" Xuanyuan Haoyun had always been close with Xuanyuan Haohan, so he would pay attention to matters related to Xuanyuan Haohan.

"Yes, this matter is still under investigation. That's right, you should pay more attention to second brother. It seems that he has gone to pay his respects to father a lot more recently. It's better if we don't move." Xuanyuan Haohan's sword-like brows furrowed.

"Since when did that second brother become so smart? I'm afraid someone gave him some secret instructions!" Xuanyuan Haoyun saw his fourth brother Xuanyuan Haohan mention the crown prince, Xuanyuan Haochen. His face was displeased, his eyes filled with disdain.

"Eighteenth brother, please don't say such things. Who doesn't know that our father doted on our second brother the most? Otherwise, he wouldn't have been established as the next ruler of our Nan Shao Kingdom at the age of three!" Xuanyuan Haohan hurriedly looked around, his expression stern.

"Fourth brother, didn't father make him the crown prince because he loved his mother deeply?" Xuanyuan Haoyun nodded. After a short moment, he put down the stubborn cup in his hand and elegantly stood up with his hands behind his back, looking as relaxed as a bamboo. His white clothes fluttered, showing an indescribable elegance.

After a long time, Xuanyuan Haoyun saw that Xuanyuan Haohan did not reply, so he turned around only to see that he was the only one in the pavilion. He sighed and lowered his eyes to see the black and white chess board with the word "wait" spelled out on it.

"Fourth brother, I understand!" He thought to himself, "Fourth brothe, you do have foresight."

A look of admiration flashed across Xuanyuan Haoyun's handsome face. His fourth brother was the best candidate to inherit the throne of Nan Shao Kingdom.

….

Begonia Garden of Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Eldest miss, it's time to take some medicine!" Zi Yun carried a bowl of black medicine and walked over to Feng Zhiyao's bed with small and quick steps.

"Ah, you know I'm just pretending, why are you still asking me to drink this medicine!" Feng Zhiyao lazily pushed the bowl away.

"Young master Ye, look at her …" Zi Yun rubbed her forehead, looking at Ye Weiyang with a sorrowful look.

"Yao'er, didn't you say that you have to disguise yourself a little more!" Ye Weiyang received Zi Yun's distress signal and immediately persuaded with a taut face.

In his heart, he was still angry at her for using the act of pretending to be sick to curse herself. Moreover, she didn't discuss it with him, just did it!

"But … However… This is already the tenth bowl of bird's nest that I drank … Damn it… Are you guys going to make up for me …" Feng Zhiyao stared at that bowl with a face full of bitterness and hatred.

Please, she wanted to be free, but other than feigning illness, what else could she do? She didn't want to refute the royal family's honor, but she didn't want to implicate the people of the Prime Minister's Mansion! Sigh!

"Yao'er, I … I… I was wrong…" Ye Weiyang helplessly took the medicinal bowl from Zi Yun's hands. After drinking a few mouthfuls of medicine, the bottom of the bowl was turned upside down.

"That's more like it! Give me the antidote in a few days! This medicine has made me so weak that I can't even get out of bed. Sigh." What was unlucky was that she couldn't sleep with the beautiful man these days. She hated it!

"Second Miss, Eldest Miss is ill and cannot meet the visitors!" The four maidservants outside stopped someone.

"The reason why I wanted to go in and check up on her is because I care about my sister's illness. How could you lowly maidservants stop me?! Hmph!" Feng Zhiqiong barged in arrogantly with her new maidservant, Cai Hong.

Hearing this, Feng Zhiyao frowned, raising her hand to signal Ye Weiyang to stay away first.

"Ah, this is such a timely illness!" Feng Zhiqiong's sarcastic words flew into Feng Zhiyao's ears.

"Do you think you're sick and it's over? You must have done something to my mother that night. You are truly vicious, causing her to be disgraced. That I was drugged with love potion must have something connected with you!"

After the mockery, her red eyes stared at Feng Zhiyao as if she was looking at an enemy!

"I'm vicious? It can't compare to how someone's heart is like snake or scorpion!" Feng Zhiyao originally wanted to close her eyes and rest, but Feng Zhiqiong was barking like a mad dog, making her very angry. That was why she mocked and ridiculed her.
