The Tempestuous Consort – Wilfully Pampered by the Beastly Highness

Chapter 536: The Lady With the Zhusha Between Her Brows

Under the current circumstances, no one cared if Gu Nansheng was willing to marry or not. The only one who would ever ask could only be Feng Tianlan.

Feng Tianlan looked at Gu Nansheng who had been forced to become less of a prick. Although she was no longer snobbish and arrogant, she still had some pride, albeit less domineering. It was not difficult to imagine that many things had happened in Beiqi Palace over the past half a year.

“I heard there is a new Princess Yun in Beiqi Nation,” Feng Tianlan said, trying to sound her out.

Gu Nansheng gently sniggered, “They said she was abandoned outside the palace years ago but they brought her back home half a year ago. Father Emperor truly dotes on her and gives her all his love and attention.”

On the other hand, although she used to be a very beloved princess, Gu Nansheng was no longer in her father’s favor and could only be used for an arranged marriage for political purposes.

Feng Tianlan did not know what to say. She knew that being treated like a worthless pawn by one’s father was bitterly disappointing.

“Actually, it’s fine for him to dote on her, since he owes her that much, but...” Gu Nansheng clenched her fists in uncontrollable hatred. “What right does she have to snatch away the position and the love enjoyed by my mother, the Empress? Are the status of Royal Concubine and First Princess not enough?”

If not for her marriage, her mother would have been stripped of her titles and she would be in a far worse state than she was in at this moment.

“Feng Tianlan, I have never felt so helpless before, but now there is nothing I can do.” She could only offer herself in a political marriage to save herself and her mother.

Feng Tianlan watched as Gu Nancheng drank tea as if it was wine, pretending to get drunk. She poured out all the bitterness in her heart. She only needed to vent her emotions.

Gu Nansheng had endured months of being wronged and feeling helpless. At this moment, she felt that Feng Tianlan was someone she could trust and could not help but voice out all her troubles. She really needed a listening ear, if not, she might go insane and become reckless.

After saying more things in bits and pieces, Gu Nansheng raised her head and gently laughed. “Great-grandmaster, accompany me back to the palace and together we can go and visit that Beiqi Princess Yun who is considered the number one beauty. I would like to see if she could still be considered the number one beauty when she stands before you.”

“You have never seen her?” Feng Tianlan was surprised. Gu Nansheng shook her head. “No, Father Emperor cherishes her like a piece of treasure. Other than the Royal Concubine and the Father Emperor, not many people have seen her.

“Feng Tianlan, in light of our relationship, please go back to the palace with me and accompany me when I marry off. If there is anything I can help you with in the future, I, Gu Nansheng, will assist you with everything I have, even if it costs me my life.”

When she thought of the things Gu Nansheng had already done for her, Feng Tianlan agreed easily without much thought, “Alright.”

After hearing Feng Tianlan’s reply, Gu Nansheng could not help but bend over the table and cried silently. Her shoulders shook uncontrollably. Although she had not returned, even far away at the Flying Frost Pavilion, she had already appreciated how capable this imperial sister of hers was.

Feng Tian was curious about this Princess Yun. What kind of person would she be, and what methods had she used, such that the arrogance in Gu Nansheng was eliminated in just half a year.

At the towering Beiqi Palace, the decoration was resplendent, and maids and eunuchs worked tirelessly in unison.

In the luxurious main palace hall, a beautiful lady wearing a red dress half laid down on the chaise lounge. She closed her eyes as she enjoyed the massage given to her by her maids, while more maids stood beside her, peeling fresh grapes for her to eat.

If Feng Tianlan was present, she would have found the facial outline of this delicate and beautiful lady uncannily similar to the lady in the red dress in her dream. In addition, she too had a blood-red zhusha between her eyebrows, just like Si Mobai.

Wasn’t this the lady Pang Tai was looking for?
