Chapter 1097: Chapter 897: The Very End

The crown prince was somewhat agitated, "Mother, the eldest prince hasn’t sought any real power, and it’s true that he was named the King of Qi, but during the regular morning assemblies and deliberations, the King of Qi, he..."

The King of Qi was far-sighted and unique in his perspectives, able to think of many things others couldn’t.

Looking at the Empress, whether out of spite or something else, the crown prince blurted out, "The throne should go to someone who is responsible. He is actually better suited to inherit the throne than I am."

"You..." The Empress was so angry she nearly suffocated, while Nangong Yi was quite surprised by the crown prince’s breadth of mind.

At that moment, Nangong Nini felt the crown prince’s stature had grown immensely.

"Crown prince, do you know what this behavior shows? You’re cowardly, you lack initiative, if you continue this way, one day the Empress will suffer along with you, one day when the King of Qi seizes the throne, he will surely rid us all ruthlessly."

The crown prince didn’t talk back further, merely keeping his focus on Nangong Nini’s injury. He had come to learn about Nangong Nini’s past; far from blaming her for the deceit all this time, he was increasingly protective of her.

But Nangong Nini was exactly the kind of person who didn’t want others to rupture relationships for her sake; she still consoled the Empress, "Mother, things haven’t escalated to that point yet. Please don’t think this way. We should all think towards the better side."

After Nangong Nini spoke, the Empress didn’t calm down but instead grew angrier, giving Nangong Nini a fierce glare, "Think positively? Do you know what your father plans now? He plans to have the King of Qi marry the daughter of Minister Jiang. Didn’t you say the King of Qi doesn’t covet the throne and only loves your elder sister-in-law? Hmph, just wait and see if he marries her or not. If he does, that clearly shows his desire for the throne!"

Having said this, the Empress turned and left.

Leaving Nangong Nini and the crown prince to exchange looks.

Nangong Nini was profoundly shocked; her brother was to marry Minister Jiang’s daughter?

...

Wild Brother was completely unaware of Minister Jiang’s daughter Jia Lanxin’s situation, and Nan Feng, having been long secluded in the Palace, was even more oblivious about what had transpired; she only knew that the Empress-Consort had not come by recently, and with Wild Brother always busy, he had no time to discuss the upcoming feast with her.

Only half a month before the grand banquet did Wild Brother finally find time to come and speak to Nan Feng, "Fengfeng, in ten days, Father will host a birthday celebration, which all the royal relatives and nobles will attend. Now, many consorts in the palace are rushing to have their garments made; how about you, would you also like to have a set made in this opportunity?"

At first, Nan Feng shook her head, "Perhaps I shouldn’t; with Xiaobao, whatever I wear isn’t convenient."

However, Nan Feng quickly reconsidered, "Did you say all the royal relatives and nobles will come? If I dress too poorly, wouldn’t that be disrespectful to you? After all, you are now the King of Qi."

Nan Feng’s tone had a hint of sourness.

Wild Brother then smiled and embraced Nan Feng, "Fengfeng, you look beautiful in anything, of course, you’d look even more beautiful undressed."

"Go away," Nan Feng pushed him away.

Unable to help himself, Wild Brother asked Nan Feng, "Fengfeng, what’s the matter? Lately, why do I feel that Fengfeng’s attitude has grown a bit cold? Could it be you’re upset that I’ve been neglecting you?"

Nan Feng pushed Wild Brother away again, "Didn’t you say you’d rush to have a dress made for me? Now with just over ten days left, is there still time to rush it? I want a very, very luxurious one, one that dazzles and outshines everyone."

Wild Brother smiled, "What’s so difficult about that? Whatever you like, I’ll sketch for you first, and then have the Bureau of Attire rush it, won’t that do?"
