In the Pavilion where Consort Wei was, housed in the bathhouse of the room. Consort Wei Wei was hotly soaking in the baths at the time. Accompanied by several servants who served him.

"Dear concubine, tonight you have to be the most beautiful woman tonight" said one of the waiters who looked young. The servant who was rubbing gently on the back of Consort Wei Wei was smiling seductively at her master.

"Hmm sure, there's no one prettier than me here. Of course the men out there are many who are amazed, but unfortunately I only belong to His Majesty Emperor Xiao Zhan, and he is the only man who deserves me," consort Wei Wei said with a haughty face and smiled proudly at her.

"Right Concubine, His Majesty the Emperor will definitely fall in love with you."

"Otherwise the concubine tonight will appear very beautiful beating the weak Empress Fung Si."

"Don't compare the Concubine to the Empress, all is nothing compared to the more powerful, beautiful Concubine."

Concubine Wei Wei grew even more pleased to hear the praise from her servants. He felt even more proud and smiled smugly hearing Fung Li being demonized.

"Consort Wei Wei will win the most beautiful and talented woman award this year like the year before."

"That's for sure, I've been awarded that award several times from year to year, of course this year got it again," Consort Wei Wei said confidently.

The waiter there all smiled. Believing in the words of the Concubine because it was from a long time ago, the Concubine had often received the award of the most beautiful and talented woman in the Empire, and the second was Yux Si.

While in the Xia Pavilion, the residence of Emperor Xiao Zhan. The man appeared to be having breakfast with Fung Li as well as Empress Dowager Mia and her mother Empress Xiao Yu.

They had breakfast together inside Emperor Xiao Zhan's own room which was indeed very spacious. Sitting opposite Fung Li and Xiao Zhan facing their grandmother and mother.

Silence felt, only the clangs of chopsticks and plates clashed. As he ate, Xiao Zhan occasionally glanced at the girl beside him with a faint smile.

"Eating a lot well dear, today will be a tiring day." Unknowingly Xiao Zhan swept over Fung Li's head making the owner who was cool to inhale soup water in a bowl almost choked.

Fung Li also let the man sweep his hair, then ended his activities and looked straight at the sight of Empress Dowager Mia and her unwavering mother-in-law staring at him earlier with Xiao Zhan.

"Well, if you're pregnant, do you want my daughter or son-in-law's daughter?"

Deg, Xiao Zhan and Fung Li looked at each other awkwardly. Hearing the name of the child on each of the two women's lips, it felt like they wanted to disappear.

"Which grandmother and mother want to be?" xiao Zhan asked trying to look relaxed.

"That's why you should ask your wife, it's not us you should ask my granddaughter."

Xiao Zhan smiled bitterly, then looked at Fung Li asking for an answer.

"I want both of them," Fung Li replied to the three of them in surprise.

Xiao Zhan could not help his sweet smile hearing Fung Li's unexpected reply.

Fung Li smiled shyly looking at the Queen Mother and her mother-in-law. 'Im sorry Fung Li lied, grandma and mom, let alone want to have children, we just don't love each other and this marriage is just a false status' Inner Fung Li.

"That's good my son-in-law, I really can't wait for the presence of a grandchild" sumpal Empress Xiao Yu smiled happily.

Xiao Zhan and Fung Li could only nod their heads at the words of the Queen Mother and Empress.

On a clear day, the streets of the big city were crowded with people, as well as royal guests who were now heading to the Imperial Palace of Heaven.

Scorching heat, the sound of horse legs, as well as a lot of people's voices that add to the noisy atmosphere around the road and do not forget to make congestion.

Not only there, even in the palace is also the same, a large and spacious place accommodating millions of thousands of people even more, not least.

On the field, it appeared that Xiao Zhan and his bodyguards were walking in the back. The Emperor observed every item of sale that was ready to be exhibited from the very beginning.

In the ranks for middle-class merchants, such as nobles. Not a single item managed to make Xiao Zhan glance all the way through it. Even the man only put on a cold face and was a little bored.

Greetings Your Majesty, in the ordinary part of society, there was one merchant who showed off a mask of His Majesty, the mask girl who had once helped attack the Vampire Clan and here was already so crowded because of that mask. (Telepati Liu Te)

Xiao Zhan raised his eyebrows to receive telepathy from his special bodyguard who was observing in the ranks of the common people.

Indeed, the exhibition has begun, but has not yet entered the peak event, which will occur towards the evening, precisely the night of the new year. But the crowd had already filled the large and spacious palace.

The Xia Pavilion

Empress Xiao Yu and Empress Dowager began to leave Pavilion Xia, now they were at the gate of Pavilion Xia and prepared to leave followed by the servants.

Fung Li turned in after delivering only until the front. He smiled considering the two women who had been very attentive to him since staying in the Kingdom. Being grateful to be able to meet people as well as them is enough for him.

"From now on, I have to leave this room, and I also don't want anything unwanted to happen if I stay with Zhan for too long let alone room with that damn ape."

Fung Li immediately recalled the trajectory of his memories of being in that room with Xiao Zhan.

On the first night where they were chasing, during a night of sleep together who accidentally kissed half-sleep and dreamed and the morning was caught off guard by the mother-in-law, and more.

'Why do I remember that? As if I was going to leave that place forever, Fung Li's inner wonder.

Asik struggling with his mind unconsciously heard knocking on the door several times.

Fung Li went to the door, and opened it.

"Sister!" princess Xian shouted in Fung Li's ears.

Princess Xian immediately entered and rushed to embrace Fung Li with a happy face.

Fung Li immediately snatched the child and kissed her cheek in a fit of anxiety.

"You want to play with my sister?" invite Fung Li to smile widely. Very sweet and pretty.

"Yes Brother, where is Brother Zhan?"

"Your brother seems to be busy taking care of the exhibition, don't you want to take a look around?"

"Hmm later, brother, Xian wants to be with his brother."

"Alright, get ready brother will take you to a very beautiful place." Fung Li rubbed the cheeks of the little boy in his carriage then suddenly they disappeared in place with a flash.

~~

In a dark place, there were only a few lanterns lit on the wall slightly illuminating the place. But the place was actually very luxurious, with every piece of furniture made of gold.

The figure of a man in black robes and with his head covered was coolly standing looking at the outside view from the window.

A younger man approached the man. But the difference is that he doesn't wear a hood. Looks like it was one of the men in the hood.

"Your Majesty the King, do you have no intention of leaving?" ask the younger man.

"Hmm, tonight. We'll also make a big fuss there. After my plan was ruined by that damn man, I won't let him calm down" said the hooded man with a sinister smile on his lips. His face was covered in half with a veil.

"Your Majesty."

"What about the identity of the kunyuk empress?" ask with a smile.

"According to rumors, they don't like each other. And interestingly, Your Majesty, that empress seems to be the target of King Zha Wey and Prince Huang Li."

Hearing the information obtained from his shadowy special bodyguards. The king smiled.

"She's no ordinary girl."

\~\~\~

Princess Xian gawked with a sparkling face looking at the scene before her eyes.

A very beautiful garden. Beautiful flowers that spread, beautiful butterflies colorful fell. The white rabbits that were running around here and there, made Xian feel anxious.

The little girl ran into the park and caught one of the rabbits and shouted.

"Sister! Xian wants this rabbit! May? " cry Xian.

Fung Li who was standing not far away immediately approached the little boy with a warm smile. He squatted stroking Xian's hair.

"Xian, that's for sure. Even Xian didn't have to be disinclined if he wanted to play here with brother."

Xian who heard that smiled happily. But his face suddenly looked confused making Fung Li who saw him astonished.

"But big brother, where are we really? Xian had never seen a place as beautiful as this, nor had Brother Zhan ever invited Xian as his beautiful sister did now," Xian said, looking sullenly in view of his first brother.

Fung Li smiled at the grievance of the little girl he already considered his sister.

"Xian dear, maybe Brother Zhan is very busy, you know he is the figure of the Emperor who leads a large region. It must be hard for you to manage your free time. But Brother Zhan certainly loves Xian very much."

"All right, but where are we really, brother?" xian asked, the little girl was curious from earlier.

"Promise if you won't tell anyone later? Especially to Brother Zhan. "

Xian nodded his head enthusiastically with a smile that never came off.

"It's in dimensional space," Fung Li replied calmly.

"What?!" Xian was shocked with his mouth widened and eyes bulging. As far as this little girl was concerned, dimensional space was extremely difficult for someone in that era to have, unless that person truly possessed extremely powerful strength. And very rarely is there anything like that.

Seriate...
