The Great Queen Mau Lewat
Chapter 378 Side story (A Fei the princess of Jin)
Li Chenlan walked towards the crown princess' palace. This was their first meeting after A Fei's arrival to the Kingdom of Wei.
From afar, he could see his future wife enjoying lunch. So once he arrived, he forbade the servant to announce his arrival.
" Do you enjoy the food? " She suddenly.
Chenlan's question managed to shock A Fei. His sudden arrival almost made A Fei throw a bakpao that was currently in his mouth.
" It was very favourable before your very surprise arrival, Your Majesty. " A Fei said after cleaning up the leftovers in her mouth with a handkerchief.
Li Chenlan chuckled. " I'm sorry, I just want to see you as soon as possible. Besides, I also want to apologize for yesterday for not being able to welcome you, I have to go outside to complete the duties of the king's father. "
" It doesn't matter. I know how busy a crown prince is so you don't have to worry, Your Majesty. " A Fei tried to understand, but what Chenlan heard was different.
" Daughter, why do you sound like you're insinuating me. "
" really? " A Fei laughed. " Then think of it like that. "
Li Chenlan unequivocally sat down while A Fei had already first asked the waiter to prepare food for the man.
They looked harmonious, as if the two were an old couple who had lived together for many years.
The two also engaged in a light conversation to make the atmosphere warm even though the weather outside is currently winter.
" A month away from our wedding and you'll really be my crown princess. I'm so happy just thinking about it. " It was so sweet that Li Chenlan's mouth managed to make both cheeks of A Fei meet red.
The girl still did not expect that soon she would become the wife of the man she had secretly admired since childhood.
" I'm looking forward to it too. I wish I could be your only wife, Your Majesty. " Sima Fei said shyly. Ah right now his heart is beating so fast, he himself is afraid that his heart will jump out because it is so big.
What a naive thought A fei. The girl did not know that the man in front of her was not as good as she thought.
" absolutely. I hope so too. "
Though the lips said so but deep in his heart, the man sneered.
' How can a man have only one woman. Only selfish women think so. ' Of course this was only spoken by Li Chenlan inwardly.
After their warm lunch was over, Li Chenlan left. His facial expression instantly turned flat. There was no trace of warmth on his face like before, completely different from his face when he was with A Fei.

In the king's reading room,
" Have you met A Fei, the crown prince? " Ask the king of Wei to his son.
After meeting A Fei, Li Chenlan met his king's father. In addition to reporting the results of his work, also discussed about the preparation of his marriage.
Li Chenlan took a sip of his tea before speaking. " It's Dad. We also just enjoyed lunch together. "
" good. Your marriage is one month away, so can you end your relationship with Miss Fu before your marriage. I don't want A Fei to be hurt when I find out this fact and ask for the annulment of the marriage. I also ask you not to take concubines after you're married. Do you understand, crown prince? "
Li Chenlan actually objected to his father's orders. But he did not want to bother arguing, but also did not want to fully obey.
" I understand dad. I'll try not to take the concubine after marriage. "
' cause I'm gonna take a concubine before marriage. ' His inner.
King Wei seemed satisfied with the son's answer, not knowing the evil intentions he was putting in his head.
" It seems that father loves A Fei very much. If anyone else sees how your concern is for him. I'm sure people will think that he's your son, not me. "
King Wei frowned in surprise." Is it strange that I love him? besides her your uncle's daughter, A Fei is a nice and warm girl. You'll be happy if you marry her. "
In Li Chenlan's heart grunted, How can you call him uncle when we are not even blood related. '
Li Chenlan knew that his father and the Jin emperor had no blood relation. Even so, the relationship between the two is still very good like a brother.
" Is there anything else you want to talk about, Dad? "
" Nothing. You can go. " King Wei's hand waved away Chenlan.
The man looked sadly at his father before leaving. There was a wound in her eyes, ' Father did you love A Fei so much because she was the daughter of that woman. '
Suddenly Li Chenlan missed her mother. So he rushed towards the empress' palace. The place he always visited when his heart was sad or worried.
" Mom, how are you? " Li Chenlan immediately hugged the mother as soon as she saw the woman who gave birth to her.
He noticed the face of his mother who still looked beautiful, his skin was still tight even though he was almost 40 years old. Even among her father's concubines, no one was prettier than her mother. Butwhy...
Rong Feiyue saw her son daydream. He knew that his son was having a lot of thoughts right now. His son will meet him when his mind is upset or his mood is sad.
" Do you have anything that bothers your mind my son? " So was Rong Feiyue's concern with her son. His only child with Sima Yan.
" no. I just met Dad and suddenly missed you Mom. That's why I came here. Can't I see you, Mom? "
Rong Feiyue chuckled. " You're a big boy. Can't you be more mature. Don't sulk like a child and put on a face like you're a stranded puppy. "
Li Chenlan smiled as she watched her mother laugh.
" Mom don't pretend anymore, even if you say that, I know you still think of me as a child. Is what I'm saying wrong? "
Rong Feiyue poured tea on Li Chenlan's cup. " In the eyes of a mother, no matter how big their child. She will always look like her little baby. So too with me. I still think that just yesterday I gave birth to you, but look now, you're already so big as a jungle bear. "
" I know that my mother loves me the most and I love my mother the most. "
" Your mouth is so sweet. There are plenty of women who are enamored with you. You and your father are really similar. "
Li Chenlan noticed her mother's happy expression when discussing about her father. But he knew that it was all just a facade to cover his mother's wounds and grief.
Suddenly the hatred that had long been embedded in his heart grew more and more fertile. He was getting impatient to execute his plan. But he must be patient not to let everything fall apart.
" Mom, do you like A Fei? do you think I would be happy if I married her, just like what you told me? "
Rong Feiyue looked at the doubt in her son's eyes. He clasped Li Chenlan's hand then gently advised her.
" In addition to A Fei was the princess of the Jin Empire. Actually she's a good girl. Her nature was warm like a queen, yet she was also resolute like an emperor. He's a perfect match for you. He can help you lead the kingdom as empress in the future. So I totally agree that you can get married. Do you still have something stuck in your heart, son? "
Li Chenlan did not want to tell her mother. So he nodded in response. After all if he told his mother, the woman would definitely be disappointed in him. He did not want to disappoint his mother or make her sad.
After a short conversation with his mother. Li Chenlan decided to return to his palace.
In the middle of the road, he saw A Fei admiring the flowers in the garden. The afternoon twilight made her face somewhat reddish and it looked extremely beautiful in the eyes of the man. For a moment he was stunned. But he quickly denies it and rediscovers his hidden ambitions.
' Remember Li Chenlan, he was the one who would pay for the woman's mistake. ' The monologue is in the heart.
The eyes that were previously full of admiration quickly turned dark. His gaze was cold as if it could freeze anyone he saw.
