Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 489: Chapter 359: The Future Mistress of the Feng Residence

”Feng Xun, I, I should just walk by myself.” Ye Lingyue spoke softly in his embrace, clearly hearing the sound of Feng Xun’s heartbeat, thumping steadily. Listening to it for a while, she felt her own heart rate quickening.

”Be good, you still have injuries.” Feng Xun stroked her hair, his gaze sweeping across the bustling market, muttering to himself what Ye Lingyue had said she wanted to eat.

Behind them, the proprietress only saw two figures, tightly nestled together, gradually walking away with the flow of people.

The hustle and bustle, noise, lights, and shadows of the trees all disappeared in an instant. Between heaven and earth, only those two figures remained, as if they were going to walk together until the end of time.

The proprietress suddenly felt that these two were truly a perfect match.

She suddenly remembered, the Feng Residence?

Was that person just now from the Feng Residence?

Years later, after Prince Feng and Princess Consort Feng became a legend in Beiqing, the proprietress, who by then had become quite a renowned rouge and face powder merchant in Beiqing, would tell anyone who would listen.

Prince Feng and Princess Consort Feng were the most well-matched couple she had ever seen in her life, even though the face of Princess Consort Feng was still unknown to outsiders to this day.

In the Beiqing Imperial Palace, as the lanterns were just lit, the palace banquet had already begun.

Dan Palace Heavenly Maiden Xue Pianran, after waiting for a long time in the Dan Palace, saw no sign of the Feng Residence’s carriage arriving, only to receive news that Prince Feng was unwell and would not attend the banquet tonight.

Upon receiving this news, Xue Pianran felt a chill in her heart.

After the Nirvana Heart Lotus was sent out, Feng Xun had not come to see her again.

That person, the important person to Feng Xun, had they already taken it?

Xue Pianran had no certainty in her heart; she always thought she understood Feng Xun very well, but this time after Feng Xun had returned, she felt increasingly like she didn’t know him at all.

This thought became even more pronounced after Xue Pianran heard what Princess Qing Bi had said.

This palace banquet hosted by Beiqing was not just for the Daxia Delegation. With the opening of the Xingxiu Cave, it also attracted other nations of various sizes and even some sects.

As the Dan Palace Heavenly Maiden, Xue Pianran could not afford to miss it.

She dressed up with great care, wearing a beautiful veil on her face, and entered the Imperial Palace.

”Heavenly Maiden sister, why have you only just arrived?”

Princess Qing Bi was dressed splendidly tonight, in a rose-colored bodice with a skirt of Heavenly Maiden scattered petals; she looked demure and charming.

Different from Princess Qing Bi, Dan Palace Heavenly Maiden Xue Pianran wore a skirt of azure mist color, only adorned with a simple jade hairpin in her hair.

Because her beloved Xiahou Qi was also present, Qing Bi blushed with shyness and occasionally stole glances in Xiahou Qi’s direction while talking to Xue Pianran.

”There was some business in the Dan Palace, which caused some delay.” Xue Pianran wore a smile on her face and quickly scanned the surroundings, but did not see any sign of anyone from the Feng Residence.

Feng Xun was naturally indifferent and did not like to attend such bustling palace banquets. Perhaps, as Housekeeper Mu said, he really was unwell today and hence did not come.

After withdrawing her gaze, Xue Pianran took hold of Qing Bi’s hand, looking her up and down.

She noticed that the princess’s cheeks were flushed red, her eyes full of spring warmth; though she was talking to herself, her Divine Soul seemed to have flown off somewhere else long ago.

Following Qing Bi’s gaze, I saw a man standing not far away, tall and slender, with a handsome and graceful appearance, strikingly handsome, and immediately understood in my heart.

”Today the Fifth Princess is more charming than the flowers; could it be because something has happened?” Pian Ran teased.

”Heavenly Maiden Sister, don’t tease Qing Bi anymore,” Qing Bi said shyly.

”Right, why didn’t Brother Prince Feng come with you? I heard he was not feeling well, I thought you would visit him and then come together,” Princess Qing Bi also heard that Feng Xun did not attend the imperial banquet.

”You know Brother Prince Feng’s temper, especially when he’s not feeling well; he won’t let anyone get near him,” said Pian Ran with a tinge of annoyance.

She originally planned to visit Feng Xun after the imperial banquet ended.

When Feng Xun was sick, he always refused visitors. Once, Pian Ran and Cong Lv couldn’t restrain themselves and wanted to visit him.

Before they could even enter the sickroom, an inkstone flew out, and all they could hear was Feng Xun’s abnormally icy voice.

”Get out!”

Even during the years when Pian Ran took care of Feng Xun closely, it was the same; whenever his Cold Syndrome flared up, Pian Ran was driven away.

After hearing that, Qing Bi stuck out her tongue.

Remembering what Hong Mingyue and the others said earlier, that as soon as Ye Lingyue arrived in Emperor City, she stayed at the Feng Residence, Qing Bi’s eyes flickered and she pulled Pian Ran aside.

”Heavenly Maiden Sister, you must be careful and on guard. I heard that when Brother Prince Feng was in Daxia, he was entangled by a bad woman. After Brother Prince Feng returned to Beiqing, that woman followed him here; I heard she shamelessly moved into Brother Prince Feng’s residence. As his fiancée, you must be extra careful,” said Qing Bi.

Upon hearing this, Pian Ran’s expression stiffened for a moment, but then she smiled again and gently tapped Qing Bi’s forehead with her finger.

”You chatterbox, always chatting away. I believe Feng Xun is not that kind of person. Moving into Feng Residence doesn’t necessarily mean what you think; perhaps it’s just that Feng Xun received someone’s care while he was in Daxia.”

Pian Ran was not a narrow-minded woman.

She knew that as the Family Head of the Feng Residence and the future mistress of the Feng Residence, she shouldn’t be overly nitpicky.

”Even if it’s nothing to move into the Feng Residence, what about the Phoenix Token? Heavenly Maiden Sister, I saw with my own eyes that woman taking out Brother Prince Feng’s Phoenix Token. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Cong Lv; he saw it with his own eyes too, it was the real Phoenix Token.”

Upon hearing about the Phoenix Token, Pian Ran’s face finally changed, and her earlier confidence was crumbling bit by bit.

”Cong Lv, is what the Fifth Princess said true?” Pian Ran’s voice was still melodious and pleasant, but Cong Lv, who had grown up with her, knew Pian Ran was angry.

”Pian Ran, did you want to ask about moving into the Feng Residence or about the Phoenix Token?” Cong Lv always found it difficult to refuse Pian Ran.

Pian Ran did not ask further; she already knew the answer.

”Cong Lv, you knew already, didn’t you? Such an important person, why not bring her to the imperial banquet to let me see, or do you intend to let Feng Xun personally bring her in front of me?” Pian Ran clenched her teeth.

”Heavenly Maiden Sister, please don’t be angry, that woman simply isn’t qualified to attend the imperial banquet, she isn’t even qualified to be part of the Daxia Delegation,” Qing Bi said indignantly. She wanted to say more but was pulled aside by Cong Lv to the front of Xiahou Qi.

The indignation on Princess Qing Bi’s face disappeared, replaced by a young lady’s delicate charm.

The imperial banquet suddenly lost its flavor.

Pian Ran smiled coldly; at that moment, she noticed a gaze constantly watching her from afar.
