201 The new consort Part I

Bai Yu was doing something she had done and never wanted to do again: organizing a welcoming banquet for a new consort of the dynasty.

Since the first day she inherited the feelings from the original body, Bai Yu never expected a day would come when she gave up on Ouyang Mingxian and completely cut Li Wenrou out of her heart. Strangely, everything slowly faded away and was replaced by the feelings she had for Ouyang Feilong.

Today, she had reached the point of nonchalantly organizing a party to welcome Ouyang Mingxian’s consorts without having to put on a happy fa?ade.

“Blessings to the Emperor. May you live and reign for ten thousand years, ten thousand years, ten thousand of ten thousand years.”

“Blessings to the Empress. May you live and reign for a thousand years, a thousand years, thousands of thousands of years.”

The heavenly pair walked side by side amidst the words of blessing from the guests. Ouyang Feilong helped support his beloved as they walked. He understood very well the reason why Bai Yu had to move slowly. The accessories in her hair were grander and larger in number than usual. The sight of it made him feel as if he was bearing the same weight as well. A smile appeared on his lips as his thoughts returned to the night he had ruined her hairstyle and taken out the ornaments under the white snow.

“Is something amusing, Your Majesty?” Bai Yu sat down next to Ouyang Feilong and secretly observed his enchanting face. The sudden appearance of a smile on him made her curious.

“That snowy night.” His answer came with his gaze at the phoenix hairpin that had strings hanging down next to her face.

Bai Yu blinked multiple times, trying to decipher the meaning of his words. Shortly, her cheeks reddened when she finally realized what Ouyang Feilong meant by ‘that snowy night.’ It was the day she saw his beauty and also the day he opened her eyes to a new purpose in life.

.....

“Thank you.”

Suddenly, Bai Yu wanted to say these words to the man who had changed her fate to become what it was today. Many words were exchanged between them, but she was sure that she had never once thanked him from the bottom of her heart.

Ouyang Feilong arched a brow. “What are you thanking zhen for?”

“Thank you for coming into my life.”

“Cough!”

“M… My apologies, Your Majesty.”

Bai Yu rolled her eyes. What good timing, this man!

“Won’t you say it again?” Ouyang Feilong leaned in to whisper after realizing that their conversation was not private. “Tonight, zhen wants to hear it repeated many times.”

Bai Yu took advantage of the table to discreetly hit his lap.

“Ahem.”

The dignified empress ignored the emperor, who carried a smile more apparent than a while before. It was her mistake to want to thank him so abruptly, even though they had just arrived at the banquet moments ago. Still, she should not take all the blame since Ouyang Feilong was the one who made her recall that night. Their voices might be low, but they could be clearly heard by everyone else since none dared to speak before the empress and emperor allowed them to be at ease.

Xu Luanle must have been at the end of his patience when he faked a cough to stop them from recalling more of their past.

Bai He internally thanked the Xu young master for interrupting; otherwise, it would have been him. If the conversation continued, the royal palace would be crawling with ants instead of guards.

“You all can relax.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty.”

Ouyang Feilong started the small party by holding up his teacup to toast the newlyweds, Ouyang Mingxian, and his two consorts. Other guests all joined in on drinking their first cups of tea with Ouyang Feilong, and then, a soft sound of guqin that Bai Yu had prepared came from somewhere.

She missed sipping wine while listening to violins. Thus, she had organized this tea party to replicate the atmosphere she liked in mind.

During this time of transition from winter to spring, an outdoor tea party was quite enjoyable. As the mother of the nation, Bai Yu chose to hold this party while inviting only high-ranking nobles of families with close ties to the throne to welcome the new consorts. fre𝙚𝓌𝒆𝚋noѵel.c𝚘m

This time, Bai Hua came to the palace with a higher status. Her manners were more reserved and elegant. She seemed to be calmer and more cautious after having been married for almost a week. Bai Yu did not know what she had to go through in Qin Wang Palace. Bai Hua’s life might follow the story in the series, or it might differ. Whether it was one or another, none concerned Bai Yu.

Ever since the day Bai Yu watched Bai Hua step out of the palanquin, hatred and resentment seemed to have been thoroughly flushed out of her body. From now on, be it love or hate, it would no longer be influenced by the original owner of this body!

“Bengong would like to drink with Qin Wang and his two consorts. May you soon have offsprings for bengong and his majesty to admire.” She raised her teacup to drink while words of thanks from the three who had received her blessing sounded. They were only replying out of politeness, the same way that Bai Yu had blessed them out of politeness.

She was only eighteen. Who would want to hurry and become a grandmother?!

“Your Majesty is still young and beautiful. I hope to see an heir soon.” The words that sounded pleasant on the surface but hid a chiding tone beneath made Bai Yu smile sweetly. She drank her tea as her niece-in-law gave her blessing in return.

Chu Jiaoxin was wearing red, as she always preferred. Her black hair was pinned up high in the style of a married woman, revealing the elegant slope of her neck and the plump cleavage that peeked out of her spring dress. This dress, which was designed by Bai Yu herself, was given as her wedding gift.

Bai Yu and Ouyang Feilong had sent gifts for the three’s marriage. However, that was merely an act of the emperor. In reality, Ouyang Feilong had brought her to meet Ouyang Mingxian before it was time to enter the nuptial chamber. The two men had discussed something that Bai Yu did not want to meddle in.

“Third sister…no, Hua-er, are you feeling well? Your face seems quite pale.” Bai Yu pretended to be concerned by Bai Hua’s appearance, which was much more beautiful than before and did not seem like a sick person’s face at all. She only wanted to pull Bai Hua into her conversation with Chu Jiaoxin.

“It is nothing, Your Majesty.” Bai Hua slightly lowered her face. “I only lack a little rest, so I am more easily tired than usual.”

“Oh!” Bai Yu pretended to cover her mouth before turning to Ouyang Feilong. “Isn’t Your Majesty’s nephew pushing my sister too far?”

As soon as her question ended, all the unmarried women at the party turned red. Everyone knew what she meant by ‘pushing too far.’ Now Chu Jiaoxin understood that she was ridiculed by Bai Yu for being unable to capture her husband’s heart like Bai Hua could.

Ouyang Feilong watched his little fool putting up an act and chuckled lightly. “You yourself should know well what the men of the Ouyang dynasty are like. You can’t blame zhen’s Ming-er like that.”

“Your Majesty must be jesting.” Bai Yu faked a shy smile, though her eyes were glaring daggers at the other person.

This shameless man!

“Your Majesty and Qin Wang being healthy is a good sign for the dynasty.”
