The Tempestuous Consort – Wilfully Pampered by the Beastly Highness

Ji You had been paying close attention to Feng Tianlan. When he saw her gaze fixed upon the tower not far away, he explained, “This is the Heaven Soul Pagoda which is different from the Earth Soul Pagoda. The Heaven Soul Pagoda does not open every year, nor is everyone allowed to enter. Only selected people can enter this pagoda. It has been said that the Heavenly Soul Pagoda contains memories of past and present lives. When one passes through it, one may have the chance to see some memory being played back.”

“When does the pagoda officially open?” Feng Tianlan raised her eyebrows with interest. Memories of past and present lives?

​ 

This seemed similar to the crystal ball which the State Preceptor had. She remembered the scene of Mobai’s wedding that she had seen at the State Preceptor’s. Wasn’t that the illusion she had experienced before?

Back then, she did not believe it. She also did not expect that a simple illusion could cause her to lose her rationality.

“I don’t know. The opening times of the Heaven Soul Pagoda are different every time, but there will be a sign about one month before it opens. If you are interested, when there is a prompt, I, your subordinate, will inform you about it.” Ji You spoke to her as if he was her loyal minister.

Feng Tianlan acknowledged this softly, then looked behind her. Chen Xinyi was following her stubbornly, her beautiful eyes looking at her without budging an inch. The way she was staring gave Feng Tianlan goosebumps.

What a persistent girl! However, she could not let them go to Tianfeng Nation as it was too dangerous. After all, Shi Yiqing and Chen Xinyi had not done anything horrible and they did not deserve to die.

“Qing Luan, stop,” Feng Tianlan called out to Qing Luan gently.

Qing Luan responded obediently and slowly stopped the sedan so that she would not feel the jerk, making her seem even more respected.

“Lady Phoenix, we better continue our journey.” General Zuo came forward to remind her.

“Let me change back into women’s clothing. After all, I am now posing as a man. If I return like this, won’t the people of Tianfeng Nation think you are trying to fool them?”

General Zuo lifted up his head to examine Feng Tianlan who was dressed in men’s clothing. Although her face was clean and handsome, it could only be considered average. A pair of phoenix eyes made this face metrosexual. It seemed that the Lady Phoenix of this generation certainly did not look attractive, not even as good as Princess Yunsheng.

He was very puzzled. It was obvious that Princess Yunsheng bore the greatest resemblance to the Lady Phoenix in the painting. How could this person, who looked neither like a man nor a woman, be the Lady Phoenix?

“Lady Phoenix, you look rather metrosexual, even if you changed back to women’s clothing, I’m afraid the people may still feel doubtful. So perhaps we shouldn’t bother with it since it will only waste our time.” General Zuo was indeed a general who did not like to beat about the bush, so at the moment he simply spoke whatever he felt in his heart.

Feng Tianlan raised her eyebrows gently. “Are you saying I look ugly?”

It was true that her appearance when she was disguised as a man was more feminine, but it certainly could not be considered ugly. However, what General Zuo said totally suggested that he disliked her and thought that she was ugly.

“This Lady Phoenix’s looks are inferior to that of Yu Jia. If compared with Princess Yunsheng, that would be like comparing a flower and a weed,” General Zuo continued to be rude and tactless with his words.

Feng Tianlan gently raised her brows and the corners of her lips curled up. ” Is that true?”

“Of course it is, Princess Yunsheng has been the chosen Lady Phoenix since young. Who would have thought that you would emerge halfway to snatch this position away from her?” General Zuo felt a sense of injustice for Feng Yunsheng. When he raised his head and saw Feng Tianlan’s mocking expression, anger arose in his heart and he said bluntly, “You look ugly, so don’t laugh!”

Her smile only made him more indignant!

Yu Jia who was beside them was immediately unhappy with this. Even though Feng Tianlan was a woman, she still found her attractive. If he said that Feng Tianlan was ugly, wasn’t it equivalent to saying that she had poor taste?
