Demon Wang's Golden Favorite Fei

by La Mi Tu

  How can Ming Yue Cheng not know that Gu Yun Wan was speaking the fact? But his heart was fully filled with only one person. Wanting to give up was really very difficult.

  Ming Yue Cheng left in less than two days. After watching Feng Xiao’s sleeping face, Ming Yue Cheng took off a bloodstone pendant and put it inside the nappy of Feng Xiao. Only after he left, did Su Yue found it when she was changing the nappy for Feng Xiao.

  “Miss, look!” Su Yue quickly handed the pendant to Feng Qi Qi.

  This piece of pendant used a natural bloodstone to carve it into a vivid and lifelike dragon. Looking at the pendant, Feng Qi Qi guessed it was a gift from Ming Yue Cheng to Feng Xiao. Bloodstone was very precious, and it was carved into a dragon shape too. Is there any deep meaning behind it?

  Feng Qi Qi had doubts in her heart, but she didn’t say them. She just put the bloodstone away with care and put it aside.

  Gu Yun Wan stayed at the regent’s residence. In less than two days, she became familiar with everyone.

  Wanyan Ming Yue liked Gu Yun Wan’s straightforwardness. Gu Yun Wan lost her mother young and liked to be close to Wanyan Ming Yue. In the end, Wanyan Ming Yue simply adopted her (GYW) as her daughter. Gu Yu Wan also changed from the empress dowager of Nan Feng to the adopted daughter of Princess Ming Yue.

  Because of the sitting the month Feng Qi Qi couldn’t come in contact with the wind and because she gave birth in the winter, Feng Qi Qi had been lying in the room since the birth of Feng Xiao. Gu Yun Wan came to Tingsong Building every day to check the body of Feng Xiao.

  What made Gu Yun Wan curious about was that Feng Xiao’s gu poison was accumulated in the lower abdomen. The child gu was like an obedient child and behaved well every day. This was not consistent with a personality of a gu at all. However, this was also good. As long as the gu poison doesn’t attack, then it would not be so urgent to go to Nan Feng. Feng Qi Qi could also take a good care of her body.

  “Feng Xiao is a well-behaved baby!” Gu Yun Wan teased Feng Xiao’s small finger. She was particularly fond of children. Besides, Feng Xiao looked this adorable. Every time he saw her, Feng Xiao was particularly happy, making Gu Yun Wan feel that she and Feng Xiao had fate together. She was very fond of Feng Xiao from the bottom of her heart.

  Seeing that Gu Yun Wan liked Feng Xiao so much, Feng Qi Qi felt relieved. It was said that the people from the Qiang tribe didn’t casually help outsiders cure the gu. Gu Yun Wan is the daughter of the Qiang tribe’s leader. She likes Feng Xiao this much and may speak up for them to Gu De.

  Because Feng Xiao’s body had child gu, so Feng Qi Qi dearly loved this child. She felt that she owned him something. She must do everything personally.

  Dongfang Lan originally wanted to find a couple of wet nurses to take care Feng Xiao. The children of royal aristocrats were all raised by wet nurses. There were already wet nurses and they were sent to Feng Qi Qi but was politely rejected by Feng Qi Qi. She wanted to feed Feng Xiao herself. In addition, she had enough breastmilk, so Dongfang Lan didn’t persist in the end.

  In a flash, one month had passed. The life during the confinement ’sitting the month’ was for Feng Qi Qi the same as eating, sleeping and breastfeeding the child. Feng Cang knew that she was a first-time mother, so he didn’t want people coming and going to disturb the mother (FQQ) and son (FX). He directly kept those who come to congratulate in the front yard and did not let them see Feng Qi Qi and the child.

  Today is Feng Xiao’s one-month old celebration. According to the usual practice, one-month old’s celebration meant that there would be a banquet for the guests.

  Feng Cang was the regent and Feng Qi Qi was princess Zhen Guo. Solely these two points are enough to wear out the doorstep. The officials knew Feng Cang’s abilities and not to mention Feng Qi Qi is the only daughter of Feng Xie and Wanyan Ming Yue. To speak frankly, the stability of the country of Bei Zhou needed to rely on the Feng’s family’s support. Now, the Feng’s family was the most honorable surname in Bei Zhou. Everyone wanted to be close to Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi. As long as they can be related to the Feng’s in any way, it would be a matter worth of pride and showing off.

  To wear out the doorstep: to crowd at somebody’s door

  “Congratulations regent! Congratulations regent!”

  Even though Feng Cang had already made a very big place for the people, there were still too many people coming to congratulate. At the front hall of wangfu3 are all congratulatory guests. Feng Qi and Feng Yu were so busy that they had no time to catch their breath. And, Wanyan Ming Yue and Feng Xie were greeting those old ministers.

  “Excuse me, where is the latrine?” A wealthy and noble woman stopped the maid of wangfu. Looking at her (noblewoman) expression, it seemed that she had eaten something wrong and had a bad stomach ache.

  “Go out from here, go east, you come across a small courtyard, then go….”

  “You said it too complicated. I am so confused by you. It would be better for you to lead me there!” The noblewoman looked very kind but because of her stomachache, she was very anxious. When the maid saw the noblewoman like this, she hurriedly took her to the latrine.

  Along the way, the noblewoman chatted with the maid in a friendly tone.

  “What is your name?”

  “This servant is called little Fang.” Little Fang smiled faintly. Except for Feng Qi Qi and Wanyan Ming Yue in wangfu, it was the first time that she saw such a friendly noblewoman.

  Although those ordinary noblewomen showed a respected appearance in front of Feng Cang, but behind the back, they are arrogant and indifferent. They simply disdained to talk with people like her (little Fang), let alone to chat. Therefore, little Fang thought that the noblewoman in front of her was very kind.

  “It’s really a nice name! Little Fang, how many years have you been to the wang’s4 residence?”

  “Answering madam, this servant is family slave of wangfu and has been raised in the wangfu.”

  Family slave means that the slaves have served in the same place for generations

  “Oh…” While the noblewoman walked, she was admiring the beautiful scenery of wangfu. “I heard that the regent doted on Princess Zhen Guo very much, is that true?”

  Seeing that the noblewoman mentioned Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi, little Fang’s eyes immediately lit up. “Madam also heard of these things?! Our wangye loves wangfei5 the most! Wangye also promised wangfei to only be one pair of lovers for the whole lifetime. There are really very few people in the world that is like wangye! But wangfei is also very good. Beautiful and amiable, standing together with wangye is like a pair of golden boy and jade maiden. Truly a match made in heaven!”

  Golden boys and jade maidens: a lovely young couple

  Little Fang happily introduced the story of Feng Qi Qi and Feng Cang to the noblewoman. She didn’t notice that the noblewoman in front of her had sparks flashing in the eyes after listening to those words. After a while, the two were outside the latrine.

  “Madam, here it is—-.”

  Without waiting for little Fang to finish, her neck suffered a heavy blow and she fell to the ground before she could make a noise.

  The noblewoman looked around and saw nobody. She dragged little Fang to one side, stripped her (little Fang) clothes and wore the clothes on herself. Afterwards, she loosened her hair and dressed up as the maid. Then took out the bronze mirror and made sure that she looked like the maid in wangfu. The noblewoman reached out and clutched little Fang’s neck.

  Just with a ‘ka cha’ sound, little Fang’s cervical spine was broken. Just like that, a vivid life had lost its vitality.

  While no one was arou
nd, the noblewoman dragged the corpse of little Fang to the latrine. Then, she carefully put her (little Fang) into the dung bucket. When the faecal water drowned Little Fang’s pale face, the noblewoman smiled coldly and left the latrine.

  Just now on the way, she inquired a lot of things about Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi, such as where the two lived, and what kind of people served at their side. All of this came from Little Fang. Now, the woman dressed as a maid just followed what little Fang said, and went to Tingsong Building.

  Tingsong Building

  Su Mei helped Feng Xiao dress up and Su Yue was helping Feng Qi Qi dress up.

  “Miss is really beautiful today!” Su Mei looked at Feng Qi Qi in the mirror and sighed. Feng Qi Qi was originally an outstanding beauty. Now because of giving birth to a child, a more mature charm was added. This made her look even more charming.

  Ordinary women would be bloated and out of shape after giving birth, but Feng Qi Qi had been insisting on breastfeeding. In addition, she made her own nutritious meals during the one-month. Although she did not leave the room after getting out of bed, she still insisted on daily exercises in the room for a short time. Therefore, her figure had almost been recovered completely.

  Su Yue had selected a red dress with golden-silken and silver threaded lotus flower for Feng Qi Qi. And the jewelry was mainly made of gold, complemented with all kinds of gemstones. It wasn’t much, but they were extremely exquisite. It was produced by Tong Bao Zhai and Jue Se Fang.

  From Feng Qi Qi’s point of view, a sum of money had been lost on the matter of childbearing. It was absolutely necessary to quickly earn back this lost money. There must be many high officials and nobles bringing their wives along to the regent’s residence today. She must show off her splendid clothes and jewelry to those court ladies later on. She believed that all women would be tempted. By that time, she could make a good fortune.

  “Miss, look at little shizi1! Isn’t he adorable?” Su Mei put the dressed-up Feng Xiao in front of Feng Qi Qi. Today is Feng Xiao one-month old celebration. Su Mei also chose to dress Feng Xiao up in red. The fiery red color lined with the fair and tender skin of Feng Xiao, and his purple eyes were just as cute as a little angel.

  “Little shizi is really obedient today. He didn’t cry nor did he made any trouble!” Su Yue liked Feng Xiao very much. She had never seen a more beautiful child than Feng Xiao. After seeing Su Yue like this, Su Mei covered up her mouth to smile. “You like it. Just have one with teacher Nalan! By that time, he can accompany little shizi. How nice would it be!”

  Teased by Su Mei, Su Yue’s face became red. “Bah! You’re already a big girl and you’re not even a bit shy! I think it’s better to let Xiaoyao wang 2takes you as wife sooner. Settle down as the wangfei3 and then gives birth to a little shizi. By the time we see each other, I even need to call you wangfei! Miss, say, isn’t that right?”

  Su Yue looked at Feng Qi Qi. Feng Qi Qi already couldn’t stop laughing anymore. These two girls were always fighting back and forth, and made fun of each other. Normally, Su Yue would let Su Mei have it, but today Su Yue was also very eloquent.

  “Su Yue, you laugh at me! Miss, why did you laugh at me too?” Su Mei bit her lip and her face burned red. After Wanyan Kang returned to the capital, he would go to wangfu4 every day. He came in the name of visiting his young nephew, but is in fact the drinker’s heart is not in the cup. He came to see the beauty.

  The drinker’s heart is not in the cup: having an ulterior motive/ to have other things in mind

  “I think Su Yue is quite right! I support her! By that time, I have to call you sister-in-law!”

  Feng Qi Qi said so, made Su Mei’s small face red enough to bleed blood. She couldn’t do anything to Feng Qi Qi, but instead reached out for the slender waist of Su Yue. “It’s your fault! You lead miss astray and now miss laughs at me!”

  “Hahaha…” Su Yue was afraid of tickling the most. After seeing Su Mei like this, Su Yue could only surrender with her hands. “Good Su Mei, please spare me! Good wangfei, let go of this little one!”

  “You still talk!” Su Mei put more strengths into her hands and kept Su Yue weak and limp on the side. After she (SY) almost laughed till she lacked breath, did she (SM) stopped.

  “Really cannot offend you!” Su Yue laughed and rubbed her waist. “It seems that only Xiaoyao wang can suppress you!”

  “Who is talking about me?”

  Speak of Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrives, Su Yue’s voice had just fell, then she heard someone knock on the door. Subsequently, Wanyan Kang appeared at the door. “Cousin-in-law, cousin brother asked me to come take a look and ask when you and little nephew can go over. The guests are all here!”

  Speak of Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrives: speak of the devil and he appears

  “Right away!” Feng Qi Qi once again checked if her make-up of today was decent in the mirror, while Wanyan Kang picked up Feng Xiao who was at a side. “Good nephew, did you miss uncle?”

  “Hmm…” Feng Xiao spat bubbles and his big eyes looked at Wanyan Kang.

  “Yo, so to speak, you miss me? Really obedient!” Wanyan Kang liked this nephew very much. Not only because of the lovely appearance of Feng Xiao, but also because Feng Xiao and he really hit it off. Don’t know why, every time he teased Feng Xiao, Feng Xiao was extremely well-behaved. Not crying or making trouble. But whenever Feng Cang came over, Feng Xiao would immediately pout to cry.

  Feng Xiao treated them with a completely different attitude. This had let Wanyan Kang’s heart been greatly satisfied. Everything of Feng Cang was stronger than him. But only on the matter of children, he who is the uncle was more lovable than Feng Cang, who is the father. Wanyan Kang was so complacent that he even ridiculed Feng Cang. Saying that Feng Cang looked too scary. That was why he frightened the children.

  “Good nephew, uncle will take you to the front hall! There are a lot of rich people over there. We are so going to rip those people off. Do you think we can do it?”

  Wanyan Kang continued to tease Feng Xiao, and Feng Xiao seemed to understand what he meant. He babbled an “hmm…” sound again.

  “Good! Uncle is bringing you! Cousin-in-law, I’m taking Feng Xiao to the front hall first!”

  “Okay, you go first! Feng Qi Qi nodded.

  When Wanyan Kang went out, Su Mei stepped out too. “Hey, be careful! Don’t let little shizi be bumped or be hit!”

  “I know! Don’t worry!”

  When Su Mei came back, Feng Qi Qi and Su Yue had a smile in their eyes. They kept looking at Su Mei, making her embarrassed. “Why are you two staring at me? Is there something on my face!?”

  “Su Mei, when are you planning to marry ah Kang? Look, how much ah Kang likes children! If you have your own children, ah Kang must be a good father. He will love his children very much!”

  Feng Qi Qi said so, made Su Mei’s heart beat faster. “Miss, I think, it’s better to wait after we come back from Nan Feng and then talk. After the gu poison inside little shizi’s body is cured, you and wangye will be at ease. I can also get married with a peaceful mind.”

  So Su Mei was waiting for this. This made Feng Qi Qi’s heart warm. “Silly Su Mei, these two are not contradictory! Ah Kang has been waiting for you so long. If you still don’t marry, he will be stolen by other girls!”

  “He dares!” Su Mei glared. She heard a laughter, only to realize that Feng Qi Qi was teasing her. “Miss!” Su Mei stomped. “I’m ignoring you two!”

  Su Mei blushed. Feng Qi Qi was also ready and left Tingsong Building with Su Yue.

  Wanyan Kang teased Feng Xiao while walking forward, and turned to a long corridor. In front of him, a maid appeared

  “Paying my respect to wangye!” The maid hurriedly greeted.

  “Get up!” Wanyan Kang swept over her once. He held Feng Xiao and was about to pass by her. Unexpectedly, the maid stood up and smiled. “Our wangye let this slave come and see if wangfei and little shizi are ready. The guests in the front hall are all waiting to see littl
e shizi!”

  “We’ll be right there!”

  “Wangye, it’s better to let this slave hold little shizi!” The maid stretched out her hand and wanted to take over the child from Wanyan Kang but was directly rejected by Wanyan Kang. “No, benwang5 will carry him myself!”

  When Wanyan Kang said this, the eyes of the maid turned gloomy but she didn’t show it.

  Wanyan Kang walked in front and the maid walked behind. When no one was around, the maid pulled a dagger out of her sleeve. As she was about to plunge it into the back of Wanyan Kang, a woman’s voice came over. “Wangye, wait for me…” The maid quickly hid the dagger in her sleeve.

  Wanyan Kang stopped and waited for her after recognizing the voice of Su Mei. These two people were used to their intimacy and didn’t care at all that there was a maid beside them. When Su Mei came forward, Wanyan Kang reached out to her temple to tuck a wisp of hair behind the ear. “Slow down! I won’t run. What are you doing panting like this?”

  “I didn’t!” Su Mei looked at the maid beside Wanyan Kang. Su Mei’s face sank after thinking of Feng Qi Qi’s words previously. “Where are you from, girl? How come I have never seen you before?”

  “This slave is wangfu’s family slave. It’s just that there are too many people in wangfu. There’s no way missus can remember this slave!” The maid lowered her head slightly and spoke neither servile nor overbearing.

  Neither servile nor overbearing: neither humble nor arrogant

  “Is it?”

  Su Mei circled around the maid and didn’t see any problems. Although there were not many maids in wangfu, but because she had lived mostly with Feng Qi Qi in the Tingsong Building, she didn’t really know much about the people of wangfu. Su Yue knew these things much better, but she wasn’t here.

  “Don’t you have things to do? Everyone else is busy. How do you still have time to take a break?” When she said this, Su Mei looked at Wanyan Kang. The girl in front was quite pretty and walked alongside Wanyan Kang just now. The more she thought about it, the fishier it was.
