Feng Ru Ai's
Chapter 19

In prince Rong's manor, empress Lien held a meeting with the supporters of prince Rong this afternoon. Despite their meeting in the absence of prince Rong, Empress Lien was able to cope well with them.

The purpose of their meeting this afternoon was due to the wishes of empress Lien who requested, instigated even seduced the supporters of prince Rong to urge emperor Wei to abdicate immediately and bequeath power, the throne and the reign of the MingQi kingdom to the candidate of the successor candidate who will replace the Wei emperor and of course currently only one person who is a candidate for the candidate of the successor who occupies a strong and worthy position. Moreover, the current absence of rivals will obviously make it easier for Prince Rong who is the only candidate for the successor candidate who will ascend the throne.

Both Empress Lien and the officials who were supporters of prince Rong were very confident that prince Rong could occupy the throne and become emperor in the future, considering that crown prince Rui who is the rightful heir has not been found. Although the Wei emperor continued to seek the whereabouts of his son, some in the MingQi capital began to argue that crown prince Rui might have died.

It was their thinking that made them so confident in supporting Prince Rong so openly, they did not think at all about the consequences and risks ahead if at any time there was a miracle and the crown prince Rui returned.

"If the noble emperor Wei gets better, it will of course further hinder us from achieving our goals" Empress Lien said voicing her concern and unease.

"Emperor Wei will be a stumbling block that will prevent prince Rong from occupying the throne, and that will of course also prevent you from reaching for power, position, and high position" added consort Lien in a provoking tone.

The prelates and ministers who were supporters of Prince Rong reflected on the words of Empress Lien. What the capital of MingQi kingdom said was indeed entirely true. But if they show an aggressive move in front of the Wei emperor by urging him to immediately retire from office, they are afraid that the Wei emperor thinks that they are trying to overthrow him from the throne.

"But your highness, if we urge your highness the emperor, if, we fear that the noble emperor Wei may become suspicious and begin to include us in the list of people - people whom the noble should vanish for trying to overthrow him" said one of the ministers voicing his concerns.

"You need not fear, we are more numerous than the emperor's majesty. If we combine opinions and thoughts, then control is in our hands. The noble emperor Wei would not be able to dwell even though he possessed the supreme power in MingQi, but the prime ministers held complete control in the conscious government or without the noble emperor Wei realizing it" empress Lien said in the same tone

Hearing the words of Empress Lien, their ambition, greed, and greed that had dimmed now began to flare up again. The words of the provocation of Empress Lien seemed to revive their ambition and spirit, for whatever reason, without a second thought they agreed to a plan to urge the Wei emperor to immediately resign and abdicate.

Empress Lien smiled obliquely, apparently very easily manipulating and provoking them.

Guang whispered to Ai saying that the young man greeting his young miss was one of the princes of MingQi kingdom. Ai who heard Guang's explanation wasn't surprised at all. Just by looking at the look on his haughty face, as well as all his movements, Ai could already tell that the young man before her was now no ordinary person. Ai found out about it quickly because she majored in psychology while she was in college in the future. It was very easy for Ai to read someone's character just by looking at his face.

Ai growled in annoyance. He knew the Feng family's position was clearly below that of the royal family. Ai with a heavy heart gave a greeting which was also followed by Guang and Di Yu who now began to display a flat face.

After saluting, Ai sat back down without doing any stale talking with prince Rong. Ai's attitude very clearly illustrates that she is disturbed by the presence of prince Rong. Seeing Ai's indifferent attitude and ignoring her made prince Rong upset. He involuntarily clenched both his hands tightly until his nails turned white. Her jaw tightened, her facial skin color reddened.

As powerful as Prince Rong controlled his emotions that were about to explode due to Ai's care so presumptuous in his eyes, he had never been treated like this before. Since this was his first experience of getting such, the prince Rong who always upheld his pride felt his ego was hurt.

Yu Su who realized the anger of his best friend then pulled Prince Rong immediately to the private room they had ordered on the second floor of the noodle shop. Bringing Prince Rong away from the source of his anger was the right thing. Although his actions could save Ai from the rampage of prince Rong, Yu Su was not sure if Ai could survive another time in the future.

Ai's actions and treatment are hard to believe. What he did was clearly inviting hostility and trouble for her, moreover Yu Su had seen that there were some young misses looking at the young miss from the Feng family with a look of hatred and hostility. He was not sure, in the future the daughter of General Holing could survive the rampage of young ladies who idolized prince Rong.

Ai enjoyed a bowl of her ordered noodles along with her two bodyguards. If usually the young lady or young master of the equivalent (noble) like Ai will be arrogant and stupid with his subordinates, then different from Ai. Ai even ordered her two guards to come eat with her moreover they were one table.

If it were the other nobles, it would probably not treat the two like Ai. For them position and caste will always be a consideration and a benchmark. Sometimes the nobles would behave arbitrarily to those whose castes were inferior to them, but Ai obviously treated them as if they were in the same position, position, and caste.

For Ai who can only eat alone in the future, loneliness is a friend who always accompanies her. Sometimes he always wants, dreams, and even fantasizes if one day there is someone who accompanies him to eat so that the loneliness that always binds him is slowly eroded by the presence of someone.

The days were very boring even though he lived in a luxurious residence like a palace. But the luxury he got was not able to hide the loneliness and alone that he always felt.

Until one day, Ai asked the servants who work in her luxury home to treat her as a friend or family, not as an employer and subordinate. Often Ai asked the butler and several other servants to accompany her to eat, he was no longer concerned with their status or their lower caste that Ai needed was just a friend who was able to eliminate the loneliness and alone that he had been feeling.

While Ai was pensive, on the other side of her desk, Di Yu wiped away her tears that had been carelessly falling from her eyes. Di Yu was moved. So far he has never been treated like this by anyone except his new lord. Di Yu's movements were obviously not separated from Guang's observations, but Guang only stared at Di Yu for a moment because now Guang's gaze was thrown back at the figure before him. Right now Guang was indeed sitting opposite Di Yu, while his young miss was sitting alone across the table.

Guang looked at his young lady fixedly, he had been serving with the Feng family since he was 8 years old. At that time the young lady was still 1 year old, but General Holing had assigned her to be a playmate and bodyguard of his favorite daughter. 17 years he lived and devoted himself to the Feng family, Feng, they all obviously treated her very well, even General Holing and mistress Fan Hua treated her like her own child because of her age which was on par with their young master.

Little did Guang know the nature and attitude of his young lady, but today Guang is increasingly feeling the difference and change of his young lady since the day she was found almost drowned in a lake.

Has Miss Ai started to change since the events of that day?
