The Great Queen Mau Lewat
Chapter 382 Side story (A Fei the princess of Jin)
Sima Fei and Li Chenlan met the King and Empress to give their greetings. They looked like a couple who loved each other. No one knew that in their hearts they were cursing at each other.
" I hope this show will continue well. Remember not to expect me to love you. Because it's never gonna happen. You just need to be a good crown princess. Do you understand? " Said Li Chenlan after returning and there were currently only the two of them.
A Fei rolled his eyes, "You're a man but why is it so chatty. I will never take back my words. As we agreed, we only need to act as a harmonious couple in front of people, especially in front of the King and Empress. Isn't that what you mean Crown Prince Li Chenlan? "
" It's good that you understand. Remember don't be soo hey I haven't finished talking. "
Sima Fei just left Li Chenlan. Too long close to him actually makes him more emotionally ignited.
While the annoyed Li Chenlan could only murmur when A Fei ignored him. There was a strange feeling when the girl started not caring about him.
' This is not true. If he's indifferent to me. Isn't it just a gratuitous act of abandonment I did. She should have cried and begged me to pay her attention. ' Inner Li Chenlan thought.
This morning, after Li Chenlan had opened up all the facts regarding his obscure grudge. There was a long and exhausting debate between the two. Until in the end they agreed to perform the charade as a good married couple in front of everyone, considering there are interests of both of them that they must take care of.
Just like A Fei had to give his first greetings as a new member of the kingdom to his two in-laws. Similarly, Fu Xiquan, but different is not the King or Empress that Xiquan will meet but A Fei.
A Fei raised one eyebrow in surprise when he saw Fu Xiquan was in the waiting room, sitting quietly while sipping his best tea.
" Why are you here? " A Fei asked as she walked past Fu Xiquan without looking at him, then sat down in the main seat.
Fu Xiquan smiled then got up from the chair and gave his perfunctory greeting to A Fei. The woman didn't even bend like the ethics she was supposed to do. It was obvious that Fu Xiquan had no respect for A Fei as the Crown Princess at all.
A Fei did not care about Fu Xiquan's attitude. He had gotten too tired from arguing with Li Chenlan before. Really, what A Fei currently needed was calmness. Yet it seemed that these two humans who loved each other were very happy to make A Fei's day gloomy.
After all, she was pregnant, there was no way A Fei would punish her for her actions. Making Fu Xiquan bigger and bigger.
" Crown Princess, did you forget that this morning I had to give my first tea to you as the leader of the harem. "
" You're right. " A Fei nodded in agreement. " Then quickly give me the tea after that get out of here. "
Immediately A Fei ordered Xiao Er to give a set of tea utensils to Fu Xiquan's servant. He would not let Xiao Er or Xiao San serve the woman.
Fu Xiquan thought Xiao Er would serve him, but he had to be stunned when A Fei's servant passed him and handed the set of drinking utensils to Xiquan's servant.
" Crown Princess, it seems like your servant is too arrogant. How dare he ignore me and give it to my servant. "
"Xiao Er is my servant not your servant. Of course the one who has to prepare the tea for you is not Xiao Er. " Pointing A Fei to Fu Xiquan's servant.
Fu Xiquan was at a loss for words. The woman in front of him was too petty.
After pouring the tea and giving it to A Fei, Fu Xiquan stared in surprise as A Fei returned the cup before he even took a sip.
"It's too hot. Do you want to burn my tongue. " A Fei said as she looked at Fu Xiquan's confused expression.
Xiquan clenched his hands until his five nails tore through the flesh. Withholding his anger he forced himself to smile and then took back the cup. It was very obvious the protrusion of veins on the woman's forehead.
Again he gave A Fei a cup, but unfortunately again the cup was returned.
" This time what else. " Tanya Xiquan was impatient.
" It's too sweet. Drinking too much sugar can make you diabetic. Don't you even know that? "
' Diabetes? what else is it. ' The ignorant Xiquan was also called a sugar sickness of course thinking that it was just a random excuse that A Fei used, making his anger increase even more.
Until the third and fourth glasses are also returned with the reason too cold and too bitter.
" This is the fifth glass. I hope this isn't too bland. " Sindir Fu Xiquan while giving A Fei a teacup.
A Fei held back his laughter. He had just thought of using that excuse but it turned out that Fu Xiquan had guessed it.
After taking a few sips he handed the cup to Xiao Er and asked her to bring him a piece of jewelry she had prepared.
" I've received your tea. And here's my gift to you. "
Fu Xiquan received a wooden box from A Fei. He opened it and his eyes immediately widened when he saw the contents inside.
"I really like this hair pin. This white lotus shaped decoration is very beautiful and carved by the best craftsmen. That's why I gave it to you other than because it suits you, it's also a good of the highest quality. Don't you like it? "
A Fei spoke after he saw there was a storm in Fu Xiquan's eyes. Of course seeing the white lotus motif made Fu Xiquan's self-esteem fall. He knew A Fei had deliberately given it to insult him. There was no way Fu Xiquan would wear a decoration that seemed to say he was Ja-lang.
Smiling stiffly, he thanked her then stepped away without saying a word of farewell.
A Fei's current life was not much different from his life before marriage. He can still enjoy his time off by enjoying tea and some small meals. Like at the moment. Sima Fei closed her eyes while sipping on the fragrant milk tea as a baritone voice rubbed against her ears.
" What do you mean by giving that hairpiece to Xiquan. Do you want to insult him? "
Li Chenlan came and immediately spurted her anger a moment after seeing A Fei.
" Insulting him? who's? who am I insulting? " A Fei pretended not to understand.
" Don't pretend not to know. I'm sure you know exactly what I'm talking about. "
A Fei put down his glass then looked at Li Chenlan. He leaned against the chair with both hands folded on his chest.
" What do you mean the gift I gave your concubine? I gave her the best hair. Not only from the best materials, the decoration is also made by the best craftsmen. It is a masterpiece. But you came and said that I insulted him. Can you tell me which part I insulted her? "
" Stop acting stupid. I'm sure you know what that decorative motif means? "
Pretending to think, Sima Fei asked again. " What does a white lotus mean? it's just a flower. "
Li Chenlan was completely rendered speechless. It is impossible not to say that the white lotus has the meaning of Ja-lang. He who is emotional feels his hair will quickly turn white if it continues to be upset by this wife.
The man decided to leave. Along the way Li Chenlan could only murmur, get angry and upset because again he lost arguing with A Fei.
Sima Fei laughed with satisfaction at seeing her husband leave with smoke billowing down her head.
" Daughter, you seem satisfied. " Xiao San could not help but comment.
" Of course. The concubine must have thought by complaining to her husband. It can make me suffer. "
A Fei and Li Chenlan's relationship was getting worse. They are like cats and dogs when they meet. Even so, Li Chenlan would spend several nights in one week at A Fei's place.
There is no more activity than sleep. They don't even sleep in one bed.
Two months passed, though,
Today one of the king's concubines held a flower banquet. There are many noble ladies invited.
A Fei actually did not like this kind of event, but as the Crown Princess of course she had to attend Fu Xiquan no exception.
Most of these young women were acquaintances of Fu xiquan, so it was only natural that they gathered around Xiquan.
" Consort, it looks like your pregnancy has been seen enough. The prince must be very happy because soon his first son will be born. " Say one of the noble ladies.
Fu Xiquan chuckled softly, "How can you guess it so correctly. The prince was indeed very happy because this was his first son. This will be his successor in the future. " Praisely Xiquan said as he stroked his stomach which already looked slightly protruding.
" Talking about the successor, has there been no happy news from the Crown Princess yet? "
The entire attention was now looking at A Fei, so that he could feel how the women looked as if they wanted to strip him.
Sima Fei looked relaxed, ignored their gaze then smiled and said. " If I'm pregnant as well, how can I serve the Crown Prince. Let Consort Fu get pregnant first, even if she gives birth to a prince later. Still the heir to the Crown Prince will be my son. "
" Ah, after all, not necessarily in the womb of concubine Fu is currently a prince. We don't know it was a prince or a princess before the child was born. So my advice is concubine Fu, you better prepare yourself if your son is a princess. I don't want you to be disappointed that it didn't go to expectations. "
A Fei's words stuck right in Fu Xiquan's heart. Making everyone aware of the fact that no matter how much a concubine gives birth to a prince first, the prince of the empress is entitled to the throne.
Something else might have happened, if the Empress had not given birth to a son. Then the son of the new concubine could have the right to inherit the throne.
Everyone is silent now. Some smile awkwardly. Fu Xiquan looked at Sima Fei with a murderous look. His hand squeezed firmly his handkerchief until it was tangled. If there was no one there, perhaps Xiquan had already pounced on A Fei and skinned him.
" Why is everyone quiet. Isn't what I said true. " A Fei acted as if he was innocent after he crushed someone's expectations.
Inwardly, A Fei laughed smugly looking at Xiquan's green face. He was certain that his attack just now was a crushing blow to him.
The banquet was held in an awkward atmosphere. Several times Xiquan's friends tried to make A Fei ashamed, but in the end they were the ones made unflattering by A Fei.
*******
It looks like a woman is giving something to a man. They look suspicious.
" Remember, you have to make that woman lose her chastity. Don't let you fail. You must know the risk if it fails? "
The man replied, "Look down, you will receive the result as soon as possible. "
