Hearing Feng Cang say that, Nalan Xin also laughed.
âWangye1, in the past, Moyuâs Mozun wanted to marry Du Xian Er to you to let Moyu and our Fo Sheng Men become in-laws. If you didnât refuse that years, maybe the two families wouldâve been one family by now.â
âOh......â
Feng Cang leant slightly back on the rattan chair. He smiled. His eyes were cold.
âNo matter how good Du Xian Er is, how could she compare to my little wangfei2?! Although Mozun had the grace of saving my life, but I definitely wonât repay this grace with my own happiness. Besides, that year, that Du Xian Er was just a little girl. I donât have pedophilia!â
When Feng Cang said âpedophiliaâ, Nalan Xin was surprised for a moment. Then he immediately understood. This is a new vocabulary wangye learned from Murong Qi Qi. Recently, wangyeâs vocabulary enriched a lot. All of them were strange. It seemed that wangye is deeply influenced by little wangfei.
âThatâs why you promised Mozun that for ten years, our Fo Sheng Men wonât touch Moyu. Keeping Moyu safe could also be considered repaying Mozun. Itâs just, these past five years Moyu reached great development at the hands of Du Xian Er. Itâs not the same as five years ago anymore. Wangye, among these four countries, the only one who has the power to contend with us is Moyu.......â
When mentioning Du Xian Er, Nalan Xin revealed a trace of admiration in his speech.
Although no one has seen Du Xian Er, but with only a girlâs power, increasing Moyuâs strength to more than a double and also increasing their scope of forces by donât know how much, how could such a girl be ordinary? However, this Du Xian Er appears and disappears unpredictably. Thereâs a lot rumors about her, but the people who saw her and still are alive, are really very few.
âWangye, a few days ago, Moyuâs Fang Jing came to Fo Sheng Men to find you. He wanted to buy Wing Chase Cliff and has been rejected by our people.â
âWing Chase Cliff? What do they want to buy Wing Chase Cliff for?â
Feng Cang sat up. He got interested in that matter of Moyu wanting to buy Wind Chase Cliff.
âBefore, wangfei mentioned Wind Chase Cliff and said the scenery there is not bad. She wants Wind Chase Cliff and built palace there.â
âMoyu wants to buy Wind Chase Cliff was for nothing more than because they took a fancy on the strategically situated and easy to defend location. Presumably, itâs Du Xian Erâs idea. Since wangfei took a fancy on Wind Chase Cliff, then Iâll reject them to avoid creating some conflicts later. What do you think?â
âMm! Go, apologize to them. I already promised this place to wangfei and gave it to her. She usually doesnât like jewelries and also didnât ask me for anything. This is the first time she asked. How could I not agree? Besides, so far, I havenât given her any decent gift. Since she took a fancy on it, naturally I should make her happy.â
Hearing Feng Cang mention Murong Qi Qi the moment he (FC) opens his mouth, Nalan shook his head smilingly.
âBefore, when Jin Mo said wangye took wangfei as the meat of your heart, this subordinate didnât believe it. This subordinate followed wangye for more than ten years and didnât ever saw wangye put a girl in your heart. Now, seeing with my own eyes how wangye pampers wangfei, this subordinate finally understood that it could be considered that wangye found your fated soulmate.â
âWhat do you mean with it should be considered? Itâs a fact!â
Feng Cang drank his medicine and put a candied date in his mouth.
âNalan, now you and Jin Mo are making fun of me. When you find the woman of your heart, maybe youâll be more out of your mind than me......â
âHaha! Under the care of your words, this subordinate hopes to meet my soulmate sooner!â
When Nalan Xin was about to leave, Feng Cang suddenly stopped him.
âWangye has more orders?â
Seeing that Feng Cangâs expression was not right, Nalan Xin quickly asked.
âInvestigate the matter of the four Nan states in secret. If itâs really Moyu, donât take action. As for the matter of Du Xian Er, you must definitely not let wangfei know. I mean, the matter of Mozun once wanting to marry Du Xian Er to me, donât let a word leak out......â
Feng Cangâs clumsy âcover upâ, made Nalan Xin speechless.
Could it really be like what Jin Mo said; that in the future, their wangye will be someone whoâs afraid of his wife? Thinking about their wangyeâs shaking the world and legendary reputation, now for such a small matter is âbeggingâ him. From the bottom of his heart, Nalan Xin thought that love and marriage were fearful things. He must not provoke those two things, lest to become the same as Feng Cang.
âWangye, donât worry. Wangfei wonât get to know wangyeâs past. Youâre still the most perfect person in wangfeiâs heart.â
âHmm......thatâs good! Thatâs good!â
After saying twice âgoodâ, did Feng Cang let out a breath of relief. Heâs very clear about this little womanâs overbearing possessiveness and also enjoying it very much! He didnât want other people or matters about other people to interfere between them!
After resting for three days, itâs finally the day of the finals. Early in the morning, Feng Cang came to Murong Qi Qiâs room. Seeing Feng Cang, Su Mei wanted to go inside and report, but she was stopped by Feng Cang.
âDid your miss woke up?â
âNo, in the winter miss usually slept in.â
Su Mei shook her head.
âLet her sleep some more! Iâll wait here.â
Feng Cang wanted to wait outside. Su Mei saw that it was such cold weather. Itâs not good to let Feng Cang wait outside in the cold. So, she lifted the curtain and invited Feng Cang in.
Inside the room, incense was lit. Faint fragrance of flower, very fresh too smell. After getting to know Murong Qi Qi, Feng Cang knew she likes natural things. For example, this incense. Itâs made from something called âlavenderâ. Itâs said to have a calming effect. Murong Qi Qi taught Su Yue how to make it. These have been made by Su Yue.
âWangye, please wait for a moment!â
Su Yue said that in a low voice.
âMissâs wake up mood is very heavy. Canât disturb her otherwise, her mood will be bad for the while day.â
âAlright!â
Feng Cang also lowered his voice and gestured that he understood.
Su Mei and Su Yue saw that Feng Cang was being so considerate, they glanced at each other and smiled. They quietly retreated.
Feng Cang quietly sat on a chair next to the bed. He silently looked at the sleeping Murong Qi Qi; rosy cheeks and red lips. The usually lively eyes are now closed. The long eyelashes moved following the rhythm of the breathing. They looked like two small fans, gently fanning, leaving a thick shadow at the lower lash line.
Murong Qi Qi was not well behaved while sleeping. Two hands were outside of the bedding. One hand was in a fist next to her head. The other hand was also in a fist on her chest. She looked like a new born baby, huddled together.
Feng Cang kept in mind that Su Yue said to let Murong Qi Qi wake up naturally. Obviously, he loves her very much and wanted to wake her up with a kiss, but Murong Qi Qi has gloomy mood while waking up not naturally. She would then be unhappy the whole day. So, he didnât dare to make any sound and only looked greedily at Murong Qi Qi while also fighting back his urge of wanting to kiss her.
After waiting for a very long time, finally, Murong Qi Qi made a sound and rubbed her eyes. Her brows furrowed and her mouth muttered a bit. Feng Cang thought that Murong Qi Qi woke up. He didnât expect that the little woman on the bed would curl up her legs, turned the other side and continued to sleep soundly.
Her small mouth was slightly open like two red rose petals blooming under the tall and straight bridge of Murong Qi Qiâs nose. How beautiful! Feng Cang couldnât help but admire in his heart.
He didnât know why, but the ordinary Murong Qi Qi in everyoneâs eyes, in his eyes turned more and more beautiful. Sometimes Feng Cang would really feel like as how Jin Mo said it; sheâs Xi Shi in a loverâs eyes. If it wasnât like that, how come the more he looked at her, the more he loved her. The more he looked, the more reluctant he was to let her go......
Xi Shi: one of the four beauties of China.
After waiting till one more incense stick burned, did Murong Qi Qi slowly wake up. She slowly opened her eyes and softly asked: âSu Yue, what time is it?â
Hearing Murong Qi Qiâs voice, Su Yue quickly answered.
âMiss, itâs sishi (9-11am)â
âSishi? Nine oâclock!â
The moment Murong Qi Qi heard that, her eyes suddenly opened. She rolled and sat up.
âOh no, oh no! The tournament is today. Itâs already sishi. Iâm certainly late. Su Mei, Su Yue, quickly come in and help me! Wangye must be anxious because of the waiting! Geez! I actually overslept! Su Yue, why didnât you wake me up?! It would be troublesome if I miss the tournament later! I havenât gotten Wind Chase Cliff yet. At court, thereâs that old empress dowager watching. If I miss the tournament and is sentenced to lose, Iâm done then!â
Murong Qi Qi was worried. She didnât see Feng Cang sitting there next to the bed. Plus, the fact that there was a curtain bound at the bed with happened to block Feng Cang, Murong Qi Qi ignored the fact that a big man was next to her.
When Murong Qi Qi jumped barefoot from the bed to the ground, her bare feet stepped on the carpet; when she was looking for her clothes on the hanger, did she see a smiling Feng Cang through the mirror.
Murong Qi Qi turned and saw Feng Cang. Her expression was somewhat stunned. Then she looked at herself. She was only wearing a thin layer of silk. Because Murong Qi Qi didnât have the habit of wearing undergarments to sleep, that silk was worn next to the skin. It sketched out her exquisite figure. Especially two rebellious clouds fell into Feng Cangâs eyes.
âAh!â
Murong Qi Qi screamed, hugged her chest and squatted. Two cheeks became red. Her head almost touched the ground because of shyness.
Hearing Murong Qi Qiâs scream, Su Mei and Su Yue lifted the curtains and came in. When they saw this scene, they immediately understood.
âWangye, weâll help miss dress up. Please go wait outside.â
Su Mei held her laughter and looked at the also red faced Feng Cang. At this time, Feng Cang was somewhat âat lossâ. His face was so red as if blood would flow out if you pinch his cheeks.
After hearing Su Mei say to let him go wait outside, Feng Cang was like he got a way out of this predicament. He immediately nodded: âGood! Good! Benwang 3 will wait outside!â
In the end, Feng Cang rushed out as if he was fleeing, making Su Mei and Su Yue almost laugh out loudly. They didnât think that their guye[4 Guye: son in law, also used by the servantâs of the mistressâs family] was so innocent. They thought he did something to miss. Itâs just, seeing miss in pajamas, his face was already red like that. If he saw Murong Qi Qiâs true appearance or when itâs the bridal night, they really donât know how shy this guye will be......
After getting out, Feng Cang took a deep breath. The cold air stimulated him, letting his banging heart gradually slowed down.
He originally was thinking about to personally dress Murong Qi Qi up to show her his tenderness, consideration and intimacy. He didnât expect that when Murong Qi Qi turned, she would let him see such a beautiful picture.
Although Feng Cang is already twenty-five; in this era, he should already have a wife, concubines and many children and would be a young person in his late twenties. Even though he didnât have any intimate contact with a woman before, but he also knows the intimate love between men and women; the forming of the harmony between yin and yang. However, when he personally encountered such a situation, he was truly somewhat unable to hold it.
Especially, the thought of that wonderful body wrapped in silk, as well as the two towering clouds and also Murong Qi Qiâs white jade like small toe. All blood from Feng Cangâs body couldnât help but rush to his brain. His heartbeat once again accelerated. Boom, boom, boom! Even Feng Cang himself could hear the strong as horseâs steps heartbeat. This has never happened before.
âTsk, tsk, cousin brother, you actually blushed!â
Just at this time, that handsome face of Wanyan Kang appeared in front of Feng Cang. Inside the smiling eyes were full of jokes. Wanyan Kang carefully looked up and down at Feng Cang for a long time. He suddenly laughed out loud.
âCousin brother, what kind of improper things did you do to cousin in law? Cousin in lawâs scream called the whole street over!â
Wanyan Kangâs voice was very high as if he wanted to let Murong Qi Qi inside the room hear it. When Murong Qi Qi heard Wanyan Kangâs words, she jumped in the quilt.
âIâm finished. Su Mei, Su Yue, my image is completely destroyed!â
âMiss, he said it intentionally. Donât bother with him!â
The âheâ from Su Mei was naturally referring Wanyan Kang. Seeing that Murong Qi Qi was embarrassed, Su Mei went forward and pulled her up.
âMy good miss, just now, you said the tournament was about to begin, that youâre late. How come youâre not worried now?â
Murong Qi Qiâs small face was flushed. Her eyes showed much shyness. She was afraid that Su Mei and Su Yue would laugh at her. She also couldnât tell them what Feng Cang saw just now. she could only lower her head and let Su Mei and Su Yue help her dress.
âWhen did wangye come in? Why didnât you say something? He scared me to death!â
Hearing Murong Qi Qi âexplainâ like this, Su Mei and Su Yue exchanged a knowing smile. It seemed that their miss was shy. Letâs donât tease her too much!
âWangye came for quite a while. He was afraid to wake miss up, so, he has been waiting at a side.â
âOh......â
Murong Qi Qi nodded and dawdled for a long time before going out.
The moment she got out, Murong Qi Qi saw the bad smile on Wanyan Kang. Her heart skipped a beat. She felt that today she lost many faces. Wanyan Kang wanted to tease Murong Qi Qi a bit, but has been stopped by one gaze from Su Mei. The warning was very strong in Su Meiâs eyes. Wanyan Kang didnât dare to offend Su Mei. He could only smile like a thief at a side without saying anything.
âWangye......â
Murong Qi Qi was somewhat embarrassed seeing Feng Cang. She quickly looked elsewhere and didnât dare to look him in the eyes. Feng Cang was also like that. The two turned their face to elsewhere and didnât look at each other.
âMm! You woke up. First eat breakfast, then weâll go......â
Such awkwardness continued till they were about to enter the carriage. Feng Cang has been pulled to a side by Wanyan Kang.
âCousin brother, what are you doing?! Werenât you very sticky with cousin in law before? Why are you so alienated today? Didnât you see that cousin in law is about to cry?â
âSheâs about to cry?â
Feng Cang was startled. He didnât dare to look at Murong Qi Qiâs face. How would he know these? Hearing Wanyan Kang say this, Feng Cang panicked. What should he do? He saw her body. This little woman must want to cry because of shame! This is bad. Now, she wouldnât misunderstand that heâs a lecher, right?!
âThatâs right! You ignored cousin in law. Cousin in law feels very wronged. I saw those tears rolled several laps in cousin in lawâs eyes. They almost fell out.â
Hearing Wanyan Kangâs explanation, Feng Cangâs hanging heart went down. So, itâs because he âignoredâ her. Thatâs why she was sad. He actually thought that it was......itâs just hearing that Murong Qi Qi was about toc cry, Feng Cang also felt heartache. He wanted to go comfort her, but he was also a bit afraid.
âCousin brother, women need to be coaxed. You put a cold face early in the morning; let alone cousin in law, even I, when looking at it will feel the chill, ah! Quickly go coax cousin in law! Go......â
Originally Feng Cang wanted to be in a carriage with Wanyan Kang, but he was pushed by Wanyan Kang into Murong Qi Qiâs carriage. Seeing Feng Cang enter, Su Mei and Su Yue were very understanding and left the carriage to leave this space for the couple.
âThat, this morning, this morning I didnât see anything......â
The always eloquent Feng Cang became clumsy at this time. That sentence let the color that originally reduced from Murong Qi Qiâs face came back again.
âI really didnât see anything! I only saw a silhouette, really......â
In the end, Feng Cangâs clumsy appearance while explaining made Murong Qi Qi laugh. Only now did she know this man is so cute. On the matters between men and women heâs more reserved than her.
âIâm fine.â
Murong Qi Qiâs cheeks were pinkish. She moved a bit to a side to vacate a place.
âWangye, sit!â
Feng Cangâs phoenix eyes warmed up. He sat next to Murong Qi Qi. He gently put her into his embrace. Murong Qi Qiâs âsitâ let the embarrassment, shyness and other emotions of Feng Cang all be released. In his heart only remained the love for this woman.
âQing Qing, youâre truly beautiful!...â
This sentence made Murong Qi Qiâs earlobes also became red.
He truly saw...However, they are engaged. Sooner or later, sheâll be his. She was just seen wearing a pajama. Itâs nothing much.
Now, Murong Qi Qi felt that her reaction this morning was a fuss about nothing. Being a person from modern day, that reaction was a bit too much. Itâs just that he never expected Feng Cang to appear in her room at that time. Her âdirtyâ appearance being seen by the man she likes, made Murong Qi qiâs beautiful heart have a small regret.
At least, it should be when she was prepared and with the most beautiful appearance, giving him an image he wonât forget for life. Like that, she would be more willing to accept. Thinking about the problem of image, suddenly Murong Qi Qi came up with an idea to tease Feng Cang. She came out of Feng Cangâs embrace and looked at him with a serious expression.
âWangye, itâs unfair!â
âWhatâs unfair?!â
Feng Cang was puzzled. What did Murong Qi Qi mean by that?
âWangye has already seen me......I havenât seen wangye yet.â
This sentence was like to pester endlessly and also somewhat arrogant and cute. Plus, with Murong Qi Qiâs blushing face, it moved people even more. Murong iQ Qiâs request also made Feng Cangâs face turn red immediately. When he saw the slyness in Murong Qi Qiâs eyes, Feng Cang finally understood. This little woman wanted to tease him. Immediately, his big hand grabbed Murong Qi Qiâs slender waist and firmly held her in his arms.
âSince Qing Qing wants to look, then today is better than another day. Iâll let you look now!â
