Demon Wang's Golden Favorite Fei

by La Mi Tu

  Murong Qi Qi’s bitter complaints made Feng Cang have no way to deal with this little woman. Why was she always so different like this? She obviously accepted him, but had to put on an aggrieved appearance of a little girl, making him couldn’t help but love.

  “Wangye, do you really love me?” When Feng Cang turned, Murong Qi Qi’s eyes were covered with a faint layer of water. It’s said tears were a fatal weapon given by god to women. Now, this weapon had been used by Murong Qi Qi on Feng Cang.

  “Of course, I love you!” Feng Cang’s knew the little person in his arms was acting cute and whinny. She was using her privileges as a woman to capture him. However, he happened to fall for this. Her charm, her whiny voice and her good bloomed just for him. So, he was very willing to become her prisoner.

  “Then, if you love me, stay!”

  After achieving her purpose, Murong Qi Qi tiptoed and kissed Feng Cang’s lips. When Feng Cang was about to respond, Murong Qi Qi retreated. She left his arms and stretched her lazy waist.

  “So sleepy…too many things happened today. I’m going to take a bath and sleep!”

  With steps as light as those of a cat’s, Murong Qi Qi left Feng Cang’s line of sight, making him unable to laugh or cry.

  When Murong Qi Qi reappeared, on her body was the fragrance of flowers and she’d already changed into pajamas. Feng Cang had long been lying on the bed. He propped his hand and looked at the book in his left hand. Only when Murong Qi Qi appeared did he put the book down.

  “So tired!” Without any concern, Murong Qi Qi lie down and nestled into Feng Cang’s arms.

  Last night, it was in this embrace that Murong Qi Qi had a good night of sleep and didn’t have the usual shallow sleep. Realizing this, Murong Qi Qi was finally sure that she completely trusted Feng Cang. The trust from her body wouldn’t be able to deceive her. That was why, she was so assured at letting Feng Cang stay.

  Maybe because, during these past few days, she’d experienced many turbulences; so after Murong Qi Qi kissed Feng Cang’s red lips and said “goodnight”, she fell deeply asleep.

  “Little brat!” Looking at the little woman with a complete lack of guarding, innocent like a child and also with a smile on her mouth, a thing called happiness filled Feng Cang’s heart.

  Originally, she was his bride, ah! Now, after going around a circle, she still returned to his arms! Feng Cang really wanted to thank the god’s grace. Although he’d experienced so much hardships; although he didn’t have a healthy body, but god wasn’t bad to him and gave him a perfect love. Could this be considered compensation?

  Murong Qi Qi didn’t understand the many emotions of Feng Cang. She was already in her dreams. Feng Cang’s embrace was warmer than she’d imagined. It let her indulge more in it. Once she fell with her head into it, she couldn’t be separated and leave again.

  The day after the truth was exposed, Wanyan Lie’s edict announced to the world that Murong Qi Qi was Feng Xie’s and Wanyan Ming Yue’s daughter. Her name was Feng Qi Qi. She’s bestowed the title of princess Zhen Guo and Long Autumn palace was bestowed as princess Zhen Guo’s residence.

  After this edict came out, it attracted the guessing of countless people. Clever people keenly captured the alternation of power from this edict. One of them was East palace’s crown princess Yu Shi Shi.

  Ever since Yu Shi Shi was put into house arrest and even after the ban lifted, Wanyan Hong didn’t let her touch their son Wanyan Jie again. This matter had made it to the emperor before it ended. In the end, Wanyan Jie was still returned to Yu Shi Shi’s arms. Although she had an imperial grandson to depend on, but the moment Wanyan Lie’s edict came out, it made Yu Shi Shi sensitively catch a strange taste from it.

  Although on that day, when Murong Qi Qi’s identity was exposed, Yu Shi Shi was not on the scene, but those who were present were stunned by Murong Qi Qi’s beauty. They all said that she’s a rare beauty of the world, inherited from Wanyan Ming Yue and also inherited the advantages of her parents. When these words were spread out, Yu Shi Shi had also heard some of these.

  Yu Shi Shi remembered very well how graceful Wanyan Ming Yue was. A smile, a frown from the woman was exceptionally noble. Plus, with her flower and jade like looks and her kind character got her many points. Otherwise, why would she become the number one beauty of the world?!

  As Wanyan Ming Yue’s daughter, Murong Qi Qi should not be bad. Besides, that day when Wanyan Hong came back to East palace, something was not right with him. Even more, the empress’s Chun Tao came to the East palace and brought a secret letter from the empress to Wanyan Hong. This let Yu Shi Shi sense a trace of conspiracy.

  Now, Wanyan Lie had issued an edict to the world. Murong Qi Qi had transformed into Feng Qi Qi. Besides, it’s princess Zhen Guo and she was bestowed Long Autumn palace. What kind of glory was this? In the history of Bei Zhou, there was never a princess who got these. Let alone, Murong Qi Qi wasn’t from the imperial family. She had a different surname. What did this emperor want to do?

  Although Yu Shi Shi was the crown princess, but she wasn’t as vicious as the empress and consort De in the palace. So, momentarily, she wasn’t able to guess the deep meaning inside this. Only when she’d received an invitation from consort De to enter the palace for tea and Murong Qi Qi was also invited, did Yu Shi Shi discover that this matter wasn’t that simple.

  Jingxin Hall was Lin Ke Xin’s residence. It wasn’t the first time Murong Qi Qi had come here.

  Although Feng Cang was worried about Murong Qi Qi and wanted to come with her, but Murong Qi Qi told Feng Cang that she’s now Bei Zhou’s princess Zhen Guo. If those people wanted to disrespect her, then she’d be able to use her identity and give a good show. In the end, she made Feng Cang laugh. Only then, did he let her enter the palace alone.

  “Aiyaya, come quickly!”

  Hearing that Murong Qi Qi had entered the palace, Lin Ke Xin already let people wait outside of Jingxin Hall. When people announced that Murong Qi Qi was about to arrive at Jingxin hall, Lin Ke Xin immediately waited for Murong Qi Qi at the entrance of the hall. When she had just appeared, Lin Ke Xin met her with a smile. Affectionately, she pulled Murong Qi Qi’s hand as if they knew each other for many years and that their relationship was deep.

  “Are you used to Bei Zhou? Our climate here isn’t as good as Xi Qi’s. We have a long winter. You need to take good care of yourself. If you miss something, let someone send me a letter. I’ll prepare it for you!”

  Murong Qi Qi’s body got a layer of goosebumps at Lin Ke Xin’s intimacy. These women who lived in the palace, if they didn’t got something important, then they wouldn’t be able to live well. Consort De has two sons. Although she’s over forty, but in this palace, she was still a pivotal figure. It could be seen that she had some tactics.

  “Thanking niangniang3 for your concern. Big brother has already prepared everything for me!” Murong Qi Qi’s soft words answered Lin Ke Xin’s enthusiasm. The smile on Lin Ke Xin’s face stiffened. Not a second later, she was full of smiles again, “Look at how muddleheaded I am. Nan Lin wang is such a caring person. I actually forgot about that!”

  Not long after Murong Qi Qi sat down in Jingxin hall, did someone come to report that second prince and fifth prince have arrived. The moment Lin Ke Xin heard that her beloved son came, the smile on her face was no longer fake. Murong Qi Qi didn’t know if the smile on Lin Ke Xin’s face was for Wanyan Yi or for Wanyan Kang.

  “This subject son greats consort mother!” One after another, Wanyan Yi and Wanyan Kang appeared in front of Murong Qi Qi.

  These two brothers were similar in appearance and body. It was just, Wanyan Yi wasn’t as muscular as Wanyan Kang. He’s a bit thinner. His smile was gently. His skin was white, unlike the healthy brown color of Wanyan Kang. Besides, on his mouth always hung a smile with a trace of badness in it.

  “Yi er,4 you’ve arrived!” Lin Ke Xin loved the second son from the bottom of her heart. Although, it was said that parents would love the young
est child the most, but at Lin Ke Xin’s, she loved Wanyan Yi more. When mentioning this son, Lin Ke Xin felt proud from the bottom of her heart!

  In Lin Ke Xin’s heart, everything was great about Wanyan Yi! Good character, great looks, great martial arts; he’s simply a son to be proud of. The only shortcoming was that she’s not the empress and couldn’t give Wanyan Yi the position of crown prince. This was a scar in Lin Ke Xin’s heart. That was why, she pampered Wanyan Yi even more.

  “Consort mother, I also came. Why did you only see second brother?” Wanyan Kang touched his nose with a look of dissatisfaction.

  “You, ah. It’s already good if you don’t cause trouble for bengong!”5

  With one look, Murong Qi Qi understood Lin Ke Xin’s attitude towards her two sons. This mother was not only a little biased. Murong Qi Qi clearly saw the loneliness flash in Wanyan Kang’s eyes. She also felt injustice for Wanyan Kang. Both were her sons, why was the treatment so different?

  However, the more Lin Ke Xin treated Wanyan Kang like that, the more Murong Qi Qi decided to oppose her. She immediately came to Wanyan Kang to greet him, “Ah Kang, how come you only arrived now?! Didn’t you say that you’ll take me for a stroll around the palace today?! In the end, you came so late. You really should be punished!”

  How clever was Wanyan Kang? How could he not know that Murong Qi Qi being like this was to stand up for him. Immediately, Wanyan Kang’s eyes got wet. One was his biological mother, the other was Murong Qi Qi, who he hadn’t known for a long time. Why couldn’t consort mother be like Murong Qi Qi?!

  “I waited for second big brother! My second big brother fears the cold, so he stood up a bit late!” Wanyan Kang forced the tears back and revealed a naughty smile again, “Little cousin sister, you’re so beautiful today! I’m afraid, in this world, there won’t be a girl more beautiful than you!”

  “Tsk, tsk, in the past, didn’t a certain person call me an ugly thing?” Murong Qi Qi raised her head with a look of pride as if she was saying, now you know how powerful this miss is!

  Not only Lin Ke Xin, but Wanyan Yi was also very stunned at Murong Qi Qi and Wanyan Kang’s friendly interaction. This little brother of his was the most playful person. He simply was the most shameful prince of Bei Zhou’s imperial family. Why was Murong Qi Qi’s relation good with Wanyan Kang?

  When he saw Murong Qi Qi’s appearance, Wanyan Yi directly froze. His heart also temporarily stopped beating. Why was there such a beautiful woman in this world? Why didn’t he get to know her sooner? Could this be Murong Qi Qi true appearance? No wonder…

  Seeing that Wanyan Yi had taken a fancy to Murong Qi Qi, Lin Ke Xin was very satisfied. Before, she was thinking about how to persuade Wanyan Yi, that for the throne, he must touch Murong Qi Qi’s heart and capture her! Now, that amazement in Wanyan Yi’s eyes made her happy; this consort mother got one of her wishes.

  After all, she was a woman. The way a man looked at a woman, that kind of possessiveness; she was also young once, she understood these very well. As long as Wanyan Yi’s heart was moved and he took the initiative, then this matter would be easy to handle.

  “Yi er, go great your little cousin sister!” Lin Ke Xin deliberately didn’t mention Murong Qi Qi’s identity of princess Zhen Guo. She only used a ‘little cousin sister’ to pull the relationship between the two closer.

  “Little cousin sister!” Wanyan Yi’s etiquette was at the point. If you ignored the fact that it didn’t reach his eyes, he was a graceful man.

  “Hello!” Towards Wanyan Yi, Murong Qi Qi didn’t have the kind of intimacy as she had with Wanyan Kang. She didn’t like this person. Although he looked refined, gentle and elegant, but like Wanyan Kang said, this big brother of his was very deep-minded.

  * * *

  Wanyan Yi was a bit gloomy that Murong Qi Qi didn’t treat him warmly like Wanyan Kang, but he didn’t show it.

  Presumably, because since young, the things he got were always the best; his little brother Wanyan Kang got those he(WY) didn’t want. That was why, his heart was always high above others. Now, suddenly getting a cold face from Murong Qi Qi, he truly wasn’t accustomed.

  Lin Ke Xin saw Murong Qi Qi’s cold attitude towards Wanyan Yi. Then, seeing that there was talking and laughing between Murong Qi Qi and Wanyan Kang, Lin Ke Xin was a bit worried. Could it be that Wanyan Kang was the pavilion closest to the water enjoys the moonlight first and acted in advance? How could this be right! Murong Qi Qi is the second daughter-in-law, she took a fancy on. She’s (MQQ) Wanyan Yi’s imperial consort, how could she marry Wanyan Kang?!

  The pavilion closes to the water enjoys the moonlight first: benefit from intimacy with a close person.

  The second here refers to WY being the second son of WL, although he’s the first son of LKX. Children are counted from the paternal line.

  At this point, Lin Ke Xin had disgust for her younger son Wanyan Kang. Little brother stealing big brother’s bride, such a scheme, such tactics; she really misjudged her younger son! Didn’t expect that Wanyan Kang who was usually all of smiles would have thoughts about the throne. Really hateful!

  Murong Qi Qi gave a cold shoulder to Wanyan Yi and only talked with Wanyan Kang, making Wanyan Yi very awkward. Several times, he wanted to intervene, but didn’t know what to say. For the first time, that kind of setback emerged in Wanyan Yi’s heart. He truly didn’t like this feeling.

  Just as Wanyan Yi wanted to pull his and Murong Qi Qi’s relation closer, a “His highness, the crown prince arrived! Her highness the crown princess arrived! Princess Bao Zhu arrived!” came in. With the arrival of these three, Jingxin hall became livelier.

  When Yu Shi Shi and Wanyan Bao Zhu saw Murong Qi Qi, immediately feelings of envy, hate and jealousy emerged in their heart. In this world, there was actually such a beautiful and touching person. She abruptly defeated the two of them (in looks).

  Before marriage, Yu Shi Shi was a famous beauty Bei Zhou. However, compared to Murong Qi Qi, she has a lesser aura and got more ordinary. Also, when Wanyan Bao Zhu was Murong Xin Lian, she had the title of the number one beauty of Xi Qi’s capital. However, in front of Murong Qi Qi, even she felt ashamed because that kind of quick-witted was what she lacked the most.

  Now, the feelings Wanyan Bao Zhu had towards Murong Qi Qi was not the kind of hatred from before. They were more like seeing her as her enemy and also wanting to destroy the other party.

  She already heard about the matter of Murong Tai and Li Qiu Shui. She didn’t expect that Murong Qi Qi’s identity was so noble and was far from what she could compare to. Originally, she thought about how to step on Murong Qi Qi in the future. However, now it seems that it was just her wishful thinking and extravagant hope.

  “Little cousin sister Feng…,” Since Wanyan Hong came in, his eyes didn’t leave Murong Qi Qi. The day before, Murong Qi Qi wore a red palace dress and looked more beautiful than imagined. Today, she wore a yellow dress. It was fresh and pleasant, giving away another flavor.

  “Greetings to big cousin brother!” Like with Wanyan Yi, Murong Qi Qi only softly answered with one sentence. It was not cold nor warm, not close nor far. Murong Qi Qi’s attitude let Lin Ke Xin be a bit more at ease. Fortunately, her attitude towards Wanyan Hong was the same. It seemed that Murong Qi Qi’s heart didn’t have someone she fancied.

  Wanyan Hong didn’t even mind the slightest about Murong Qi Qi’s attitude. Well, woman needs to have character! In his view, Murong Qi Qi’s alienation was a character. It was stronger than those women who immediately jumped in his arms when they know he’s the crown prince.

  “When did little cousin sister arrive?�
�

  “Just now…”

  “Oh…,” Wanyan Hong looked thoughtfully at Wanyan Kang and then looked at Wanyan Yi. He was just about to say something, when he heard Jing De’s voice, “The emperor has arrived!”

  Wanyan Lie came? Lin Ke Xin’s heart burst of excitement. She immediately led the bunch of people to welcome the emperor.

  The one who came with Wanyan Lie was Feng Cang. After the morning court meeting, Feng Cang couldn’t let go of his worries. So, he came with Wanyan Lie. After seeing that Murong Qi Qi was safe and sound, did he let out a sigh of relief.

  “Brother…,” When everyone was bowing and shouting long live ten thousand years, Murong Qi Qi rushed to Feng Cang like a little bird.

  “Why didn’t you wear more when coming out? Where’s the heater? Why didn’t you bring it?” Feng Cang took of his fox fur coat and put it on Murong Qi Qi. Then, he put her small hands in his big palms.

  The relation between these ‘siblings’, aside from letting people be envious, in their eyes, it also had another layer of meaning. Once the husband and wife, now became siblings. Don’t know how these two people changed their roles so quickly. However, looking at their intimacy, they seemed to be closer than siblings. It seemed that relationship was not so easy to put down.

  The strange siblings in the eyes of others, in Wanyan Lie’s eyes was something happy. Their relationship was so great and they were so close, making Wanyan Lie a bit envious. Looking at Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi, he thought about himself and Wanyan Ming Yue.

  From beginning to end, his feelings for Wanyan Ming Yue were buried in his heart. He could only forever look at her from afar. Now, Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi’s relationship was so great; he had a feeling that he found an intimate friend. His dream wasn’t realized. How great would it be if it could realize on this pair of siblings…?

  He and Wanyan Ming Yue ended in a tragedy. If the people who are now experienced the same thing as them, also be broken up, then wouldn’t it be too pitiful? In the past, he didn’t get happiness. However now, he has the power to let people get happiness. If these two children really love each other, then he’ll support them!
