Demon Wang's Golden Favorite Fei

by La Mi Tu

  After determining her thoughts, Wanyan Bao Zhu snuggled in Wanyan Hong’s arms.

  “Imperial big brother, Murong Qing Lian is a little pretty beauty. Beauties come from Murong family. Now, Murong Qing Lian is also very famous in Xi Liang (capital of Xi Qi). Why don’t imperial big brother take her into your palace and enjoy her?”

  How could Wanyan Bao Zhu know that Wanyan Hong had long heard from Zhao Lang that her identity was Murong fu’s second miss Murong Xin Lian. Now, seeing her push her little sister out, Wanyan Hong had of course guessed what she was really thinking.

  It was just, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Wanyan Bao Zhu only wanted to let Wanyan Hong get Murong Qing Lian, so he would change his target and let herself get free. How could she know that Wanyan Hong wanted to kill two birds with one stone; to let this pair of sisters stay with him!

  The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind: pursue a narrow gain while neglecting a greater danger

  “No problem. No matter what you want to do, this crown prince will go along. Who let you be this crown prince’s most beloved little sister?!”

  Wanyan Bao Zhu was happy with Wanyan Hong’s words. She thought that she was one step closer to her plan. Just as she was secretly feeling proud, a cold spread through her body. She didn’t know when the clothes on her body had been undressed by Wanyan Hong.

  “Imperial big brother…”

  Not waiting for Wanyan Bao Zhu to understand, once again the pain came. The wound from before, once again met a fierce force. She wanted to beg for mercy, but her head was pressed fiercely on the table by Wanyan Hong. Tears made the black hair, which hung loosely on the table, wet. This demon, this pervert! Wanyan Bao Zhu could only curse Wanyan Hong in her heart! However, all this hate and curses couldn’t change her current situation. She passed this night very sorrowfully…

  Feng Cang’s and Murong Qi Qi’s wedding was set on the twenty-eight day of the first month. After Feng Cang came back, this news was spread out. After one night, everyone in the capital knew that demon wang1 was getting married again. Immediately, Yan Capital soared. Everyone was talking about Feng Cang’s ninth bride.

  “Miss, just now, the bets were flying everywhere outside. Everyone was betting that you wouldn’t live past the wedding night.”

  Su Yue peeled the walnut and put it in front of Murong Qi Qi.

  “The gambling dens once again began to set bets!”

  “Oh?” Murong Qi Qi yawned lazily. “Did you get the money that I won before? How much is it?”

  The moment they heard Murong Qi Qi mention the money, Su Mei and Su Yue laughed. Those fools bet that Bei Zhou would lose! Ah, why didn’t they look at what kind of person their miss is?!

  “The bet multiplied six times! Thirty million! Miss, you didn’t see Wu Qing. When he was counting the money, he couldn’t close his mouth from laughing. He even said that next time, when encountering such a great thing, he also wants to follow along and bet!”

  In c74, Guanghua gongzi betted five million silver teals that Bei Zhou would win

  Su Mei described Wu Qing’s expression. The three girls laughed happily.

  “Did you found the person who bet ten million? Who is he/she?”

  “It’s someone from Fo Sheng Men.”

  Su Mei was surprised for a moment and told the result of Wu Qing’s investigation to Murong Qi Qi.

  “Fo Sheng Men?”

  Murong Qi Qi’s beautiful brow frowned. Eventually, it turned back to normal.

  “It seems that Long Ao Tian has brains. This time, he has earned sixty million!”

  “That’s right, ah, miss! Now, everyone at the gambling dens are betting that you won’t live past the wedding night, but Long Ao Tian’s people once again bet ten million, betting that you will survive the wedding night!”

  Now, Murong Qi Qi became interested. She sat up and repeatedly thought about the issues of Long Ao Tian.

  “Could it be that he knows my identity?”

  “How could that be?! Aside from our people, no one would know miss’s identity. Our own people won’t tell anyone. Long Ao Tian’s news couldn’t be so fast and abundant!”

  Now, Murong Qi Qi felt it was strange. Since, her identity wasn’t exposed, then why would the leader of Fo Sheng Men repeatedly bet on her? Could it be that he predicted or did he bet according to his mood? Really strange!

  She didn’t understand the reason so Murong Qi Qi simply changed into clothes to travel. She left Tingsong building, left wangfu2 and went shopping.

  She didn’t know what Feng Cang had been doing these past two days. He was so secretive. He didn’t say and she was too lazy to ask. She just happened to have some free time to go shopping. Murong Qi Qi took Su Mei and Su Yue for a walk in Yan Capital.

  “Miss, the ‘Spell of Fragrance’ Tong Bao Zhai recently launched is selling very well! Recently, Fang Kui counted so much money, his hands lost strength. He also said, if miss has time to let miss design the new jewelries. Many imperial relatives and wives of officials have already placed orders!”

  While walking, Su Yue reported everything about Tong Bao Zhai and Jue Se Fang to Murong Qi Qi. Murong Qi Qi was happy to hear that the businesses were going well. Now, the thing they lacked to build the number one place of business was money. Every day, they needed to spend a lot of money because Moyu had so many people. If she didn’t have income, then the businesses wouldn’t be able to run.

  “Alright! When I have time, I’ll design a set. Recently, I’ve had some ideas.”

  While talking, Murong Qi Qi’s group arrived at the street in Yan Capital where the gambling dens were located. They’d just arrived when they heard the shouting, the sound of dices, the laughter, and the crying of people who wished to die.

  “Come, come, come! Bet! Bet if Nan Lin wangfei3 could live till the twenty ninth! Take a bet, take a bet! It’s definitely cost-effective! Can the ninth bride pass the wedding night safely? Would the curse once again descend? Customers, it’s better to take action than to be moved. Did you already bet today?”

  “Really too much!!”

  Su Mei wanted to go teach the servant of the gambling den a lesson, but was stopped by Murong Qi Qi.

  “Su Yue, go ask how many people have betted that I’ll win?!”

  Murong Qi Qi stood on the street. With narrowed eyes, she looked at the famous gambling street of the capital. This territory is excellent. It would be best if she could get it.

  Not long after, Su Yue returned.

  “Miss, aside from Long Ao Tian, no one else betted that you’d win.”

  “Let them bet! The bigger the odds, the more money we can make. Tell Wu Qing, take hundred thousand golden teals. Tell him to bet on the last day just before they close. I want the people of this street to lose even their pants!”

  Murong Qi Qi saying this, made Su Yue and Su Mei exchange a smile. Miss was angry. Angering miss would lead to an ugly fate. Hundred thousand golden teals, according to the current odds, would make them bankrupt. The three were just about to leave, and didn’t expect to meet three familiar people… Yu Shi Shi, Wanyan Bao Zhu and Mu Yu Die.

  “Yo, so coincidentally!” The moment Yu Shi Shi saw Murong Qi Qi, she smiled. The gentleness showed on her face was so fake, making people feel disgusted.

  “Princess is also taking a stroll, ah?!”

  “That’s great, ah. Take a stroll to see what new things have happened recently.”

  If Murong Qi Qi say she’s second at playing innocent, then no one would be first. Before, Yu Shi Shi was put in house arrest for a month. The time had passed. Now that she was out, naturally she should pretend to accompany Murong Qi Qi.

  “Hehe, there are many new things. However, recently everyone was talking about Nan Lin wang’s wedding.”

  Yu Shi Shi pretended to look sympathetically at Murong Qi Qi. Her eyes seemed to be full of worries for this princess who came to marry so far away.

  “Ai, don’t know if princ
ess has heard. Everyone is saying that you won’t live past the wedding night!”

  “I’ve heard.”

  Murong Qi Qi generously said her inner thoughts. Yu Shi Shi was very surprised. She exchanged a glance with Wanyan Bao Zhu and Mu Yue Die. The two walked to Murong Qi Qi with a ‘so pitiful’ expression. They looked full of sympathy at Murong Qi Qi.

  “Princess, there are some words I don’t know if I should or shouldn’t say.”

  “Let out…,” seeing that Yu Shi Shi wanted to pretend again, Murong Qi Qi felt a little evil.

  “Let out what?” Yu Shi Shi was surprised for a moment.

  “If you have something to say, say it quickly. If you need to fart, then let it out quickly!” Murong Qi Qi dug in her ears. “Crown princess, talk quickly, I still need to go to Jue Se Fang to buy things!”

  That Murong Qi Qi didn’t give her face like this, made Yu Shi Shi’s expression turn a bit ugly. However, she had also heard about Murong Qi Qi’s actions at the tournament of the four countries. Now, it’s the momentum of the other party. Yu Shi Shi wouldn’t go head to head with her.

  Yu Shi Shi looked at the somewhat shy Mu Yu Die and cleared her throat, “Princess, Nan Lin wang’s eight character is strong. If princess’s body is weak, wouldn’t you be like the previous few wangfeis? I’ve heard, if two women enter the family at the same time when meeting with someone with a strong life, then the evil spirits would be resolved. Why don’t princess consider letting wangye take a concubine. By then, there are two concurrent, happy events in the family, make something perfect even more perfect. So great!”

  Eight characters: representing the year, month, day, and hour of one’s birth

  Lull! Murong Qi Qi almost swore at Yu Shi Shi. What kind of thing, ah?! She (MQQ) hadn’t married yet, but she (YSS) was already thinking to get second wives for Feng Cang. This woman really deserved a good spanking!

  Although Murong Qi Qi was thinking like that in her heart, but on the surface, she remained calm.

  “You say this, presumably you already have someone in mind. It’s just don’t know who is the wonderful person crown princess is talking about.”

  Seeing Murong Qi Qi like that, Yu Shi Shi lightly scoffed in her heart. Didn’t she (MQQ) show a very loving appearance with Feng Cang before? However, she (YSS) didn’t reach her goal yet, so Yu Shi Shi wouldn’t show her feelings on her face. She smilingly pushed Mu Yu Die in front of Murong Qi Qi.

  “Princess, what do you think of miss Mu? The prime minister let people calculate. Miss Mu and wangye’s eight characters truly are a match. If she can make an alliance with wangye, she would certainly give prosperity to the husband and also princess!”

  Prosper your mother! If it wasn’t because Su Yue was holding her back, Su Mei would’ve long sent Yu Shi Shi flying with a kick. Really, a group of bitches! Miss hadn’t married yet, but they had already sharpened their mind to drill around wangfu. What kind of things do these people think they are?!

  “Miss Mu also thinks so?” Murong Qi Qi looked at Mu Yu Die.

  Although before at Yongzhou, Mu Yu Die was frightened and was somewhat silly. However, she slowly recovered her mind. It was just, she sealed away that horrible memory and she turned back to how she was before.

  Seeing Murong Qi Qi asked her, Mu Yu Die shyly nodded.

  She wasn’t afraid about this matter. Grandfather said he would support all her decisions. If they go with the emperor’s decree, even if Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi object, it wouldn’t have an effect. Now, Mu Yu Die was set on marrying Feng Cang. She had waited till she’s twenty for this man; she’s almost becoming the joke of Yan Capital. If she couldn’t marry Feng Cang, then she could only die!

  Seeing the blush on Mu Yu Die’s face which had a thick spring taste, Murong Qi Qi suddenly remembered something. Her mouth revealed a sweet smile.

  “That would be great, ah! If miss Mu enters the family and can get rid of the killing aura on wangye, it would be the best. I would also get one more sister and would also have a place to drop by!”

  “Princess, you agreed?” Hearing the tone of Murong Qi Qi, Mu Yu Die was very excited.

  Mu Yu Die knew the place Murong Qi Qi had in Feng Cang’s heart. There’s a saying: a melon possessed by force is not sweet. If Murong Qi Qi didn’t agree; even if she enters the wangfu, Feng Cang also won’t see her as something. Now Murong Qi Qi had loosened; did this mean that there’s hope for her happiness?

  Wangfu: residence of the prince of first-rank

  Wangfei: main wife/consort of the prince of first rank

  “I agreed?” Murong Qi Qi raised an eyebrow. “Which one of your ears heard me say to let you enter wangfu’s1 door? Hmm?”

  “We didn’t hear! Miss didn’t say that!” Su Mei and Su Yue quickly and cooperatively shook their heads.

  “Crown princess, princess, did you hear?” Murong Qi Qi looked at Yu Shi Shi and Wanyan Bao Zhu. Although these two really wanted to help Mu Yu Die, but from beginning to end, Murong Qi Qi didn’t nod nor agree. The two could only shake their heads.

  At this point, Mu Yu Die’s face turned green. What did she mean? Could it be that the words she’d just said didn’t mean that she was willing to share a husband? The meaning was so obvious, how come Murong Qi Qi was now going back on her words?

  “What do you mean?” Mu Yu Die blurted out.

  Seeing Mu Yu Die acting so eager, Murong Qi Qi chuckled, “Miss Mu doesn’t understand what I mean? Our family’s wangye2 will have me as his only woman. It would be like this before the wedding and it would be like this after the wedding. As for miss Mu’s wishful thinking, listen well and let the meaning get in your head. If I had to agree to every woman who are eager to paste themselves on my family’s wangye, then even this capital wouldn’t be able to fit them all!”

  “You…,” Mu Yu Die never expected that Murong Qi Qi would say such things so straightforwardly, so…ugly to hear. This was simply humiliating her, humiliating her feelings for Feng Cang!

  “Princess, it’s not only you who loves wangye! You should at least respect my true feelings for wangye!”

  After hearing those words, Murong Qi Qi acted like she’d heard the biggest joke. Slowly, step by step, she walked towards Mu Yu Die. Looking at the firmness in her eyes on her pale face, Murong Qi Qi sighed.

  “Helplessly, the falling flower is yearning for love, but the heartless brook ripples on. Even if the love miss Mu has for our family’s wangye is higher than the mountains and deeper than the seas, what does it matter? Feng Cang’s heart only has me. It so happens that I am someone possessive and has possessed his full heart. Even a strand of your hair wouldn’t be able to enter. You should be more conscious and let go! Don’t be at such an age and still thinking so wishfully!”

  The falling flower is yearning for love, but the heartless brook ripples on: one side is willing, yet the other one remains indifferent

  Murong Qi Qi’s poisonous tongue made Yu Shi Shi and Wanyan Bao Zhu startle. She’d completely disregarded Mu Yu Die’s face and ‘humiliated’ her on the street like this. Could it be that Murong Qi Qi wasn’t afraid of offending the prime minister? Besides, how could there be such a woman who repeatedly said that she’d not let Feng Cang take concubines? Was this woman a jealous wife? Would Feng Cang agree with such an unreasonable request?

  Sure enough, Mu Yu Die got angry. The thing she cared about the most was when people talked about her age. Now, Murong Qi Qi keeps saying ‘at such an age’. She was clearly bullying her.

  “Princess, you went overboard! You take decisions according to your wishes like that, wangye may not agree!”

  “Ha…,” Murong Qi Qi sneered and casted a glance at Mu Yu Die’s black face. Her mouth went up a beautiful curve. “Wangye said inside Nan Lin wangfu, I’m the boss! My decision also means wangye’s decision!”

  That Feng Cang pamper
ed Murong Qi Qi this much was more than Yu Shi Shi and the others had expected. It seemed that the hope to push Mu Yu Die into Nan Lin wangfu would fall!

  Yu Shi Shi couldn’t bear to see Murong Qi Qi’s proud face. If in the past, she didn’t take one step wrong, how would Murong Qi Qi act so domineering like this now? Why did such a good thing fall into Murong Qi Qi’s hands? This Murong Qi Qi didn’t have the appearance nor the body; why did Feng Cang happen to like such a woman? Truly incredible!

  “Wangye is not bigger than the emperor! The emperor hasn’t spoken about this matter, so this matter isn’t certain yet!”

  After being irritated by Murong Qi Qi, Mu Yu Die finally pulled Wanyan Lie out.

  So, it was like that! Murong Qi Qi finally understood. No wonder these three women would group together; no wonder Mu Yu Die dared to be so bold and confident. It seemed that old thing from Mu fu wanted to walk the road of Wanyan Lie. They wanted to use the emperor and get a decree to suppress her? Could it be that she, Murong Qi Qi, was a lamb waiting to be slaughtered?!

  “Then, we can talk about this after the emperor opens his golden mouth.”

  The arrogant face of Murong Qi Qi changed to a calm one. So calm, it was like the deep sea without any trace of waves. She looked at her beautiful fingers and gently touched the pink nails.

  “However, miss Mu should be careful, ah! Two happy occasions at one home, but there are many cases where people didn’t have the blessing to receive such a situation. Even if the emperor sent a decree, you should also have the blessing to receive it…If by chance, the head accidentally fell, then it would be like miss Mu using a wicker basket to draw water! After all, sometimes, old women’s heads would get short circuited and the reaction is not so agile. There are also cases of sudden deaths.”

  Using a wicker basket to draw water: wasted efforts

  Just now, Mu Yu Die was at ‘such an age’. Now, she’d become upgraded to ‘old woman’. No matter how good Mu Yu Die’s temper was, she could hear the sarcasm and threats in Murong Qi Qi’s words. She (MQQ) was too daring!
