Chapter 189: Nobody Have the Rights To Decide For Her Happiness! Part I

The Imperial Palace of the Gale Nation.

“Father, she has already arrived, do you want to see her.” Feng Ling standing beside a man in emperor gown, respectfully informed him. The man’s eyes was as sharp as eagle, facial complexion imposing and reserved, face was clean without beard, more than forty years of age, but looks like he was just more thirty years of age. He is Feng Ling’s father, the new emperor of Gale Nation Feng Lie.

“It’s not necessary, I’ve seen her already.” Feng Lie didn’t look at him, he remarked with his back facing him.

Feng Ling wasn’t surprised, when he went out of the city gates to welcome Ye ShuiYao, he had inadvertently discovered Feng Lie showed up before the city gates, took a quick glance then left with an expressionless face. For so many years, he had rarely seen Feng Lie’s smile, that imposing and reserved expression had been fixed on his face, causing people to be intimidated at a certain degree when facing him.

“That woman from the Ye family was indeed like a transformation of a goddess, her appearance and personality traits were extraordinary, could really match any man in this world. But with you as Feng Lie’s son, the future ruler of the Gale Nation, you would go as far as to force me to give up an extremely rare opportunity. You’ve really disappoint me.” Feng Lie snorted coldly, still didn’t turn around to face him.

These words Feng Ling had already heard them for so many times, he softly sighed, then said: “I’m sorry, Father, I know I’ve disappointed you, I could not attain the determined attitude like you’ve had, I can feel that, if I’m not able to have her, then I will regret throughout my life. But I can assure you, Father, just this once, from now on I shall fully assist you, help you conquer the whole world, and rule over the entire world......”

Feng Lie turned around, with complicated eyes he watched him: “Do you think that you will have the second time? I absolutely didn’t think that, when you were born I’ve got a pledge from Elder Feng, yet you actually used it in this aspect. The favor that Elder Feng had given us was as high as the mountain, or else even if you knelt down before me for three days and three nights, I would never even crease my brows.”

“Please calm down, Father.” Feng Ling have heard the milder tone of his father, his heart relaxed a bit.

“That’s all, that’s all, since this was already the case, it will be useless to argue on. You were multiple times successful than your other imperial brothers, before I die, those territories that I haven’t conquered, I hope you can continue my expedition, it will become your task. This time, I just regard this as a big mistake that you have committed because of your young frivolous mind, I will expect you to make up for your mistakes using your actions.”

“I will certainly not disappoint you, Father!” yelled Feng Ling, making a solemn vow.

Feng Lie nodded his head, he had finally eased down, then calmly said: “Some things if you don’t decide them right away, you will not feel at ease. In this case, your marriage will be set on tomorrow. I will immediately send the invitations. My son’s marriage, must be spectacular, the whole world must be aware of it, let’s firmly repress Ye family’s acute spirit. Are you satisfied?” action

Feng Ling was overjoyed, half kneeling down he yelled: “Thank you Father for your grace.”

“Hahahaha, truly I didn’t expect that, during those years me and Ye Wei had become irreconcilable adversaries in the battlefield, but now his daughter was forced to become my daughter-in-law...... Ye Wei oh Ye Wei, you’ve finally lost this bet to me, let me see how you could win over this time around, hahahaha!”

Yao Feng Pavilion.

Feng Ling approached using his gentle footsteps, at the same time he made a hand gesture to quiet down the maids who were waiting in the doorway, for the fear that he might alarm Ye ShuiYao inside.

Ye ShuiYao was sitting on the bed that was embroidered with luan, phoenix and birds, just spending her time there during the entire afternoon, just like she had suddenly lost her vitality, didn’t know what she was thinking about.

“Princess Yao Feng.” Feng Ling approached, gently and respectfully called out for her. During that day in the Ye residence it was just a cold glance, when he welcomed her most of the time he just saw her rear view, this time he could finally observe her right at the front, the more he watched his heartbeat accelerated faster, his whole body was like floating in the clouds.

“Get out!”

An ice-cold voice made Feng Ling became clear-headed, he wasn’t angered even in the slightest bit, because this was naturally her nature and charm, but just smiled and said: “Since that’s the case, I will not disturb you anymore. I came to inform princess that, tomorrow is the date of our wedding. If Princess Yao Feng will be homesick, might as well relax your mind, go out of the palace to walk around, as time goes by, you will like this place. Feng Ling will take my leave now.”

After speaking, being refined and courteous, he gently smiled, then striding gentle steps similarly as he left.

When Ye ShuiYao arrived at Tian Feng City, Ye Wuchen happened to have returned to Tian Long City. During his prior journey when he travelled from Tian Long City to Yan Long City, he had spent more than twenty days of time, during his way home, it just took him a short fifteen days.

When Ye Wuchen just set his foot on Tian Long City, there was someone who immediately reported Long Yin. Ye Wuchen had thoughts in his mind, his footsteps were speeding up. It was not due to his homesick emotions, but his worries for Ye ShuiYao. During this period a strange feeling had told him that, something might have happened to Ye ShuiYao.

Passing through Hua residence, he hesitated for a moment, let Tong Xin and Ning Xue waited outside, just like the first time he entered the Hua residence, he silently climbed over the wall and went inside.

Hua ShuiRou was leaning on her bed, moving her slender finger knitting a long white scarf. The weather had started to turn cold, after the late autumn, winter will soon follow, this scarf, was evidently knitted for her future husband. Ye Wuchen had praised her unique culinary skills, even her feminine arts were similarly as good as her culinary arts. Those attributes that an excellent wife should have, she possessed them all, and each of them was perfect.

Before, she will knit garments for her father and herself, now she just knitted for Ye Wuchen alone, causing Hua ZhenTian to mutter enviously that because of having a lover, she already forgot her own father.

The corner of her mouth was wearing a smile all along, so gentle and beautiful, enjoying the contentment and delight that she had for knitting garment for her love, expecting him to love it. Before, she never had such wonderful feeling when knitting garments, precisely because her heart belonged to one man, adding an involvement that could no longer be cut, her mood quietly transformed because of this reason.

The room was so quiet, with only a faint sound of knitting. By the time she finished her last hook, a familiar smell assailed through her nose, Hua ShuiRou immediately lifted her head, facing that captivating smiling face. It didn’t cause her to panic just like the first time he intruded in, she forgot the things in her hands, unable to restrain her emotions she threw herself in his arms, beginning to experience the feeling of missing him, moreover it was one and a half months time, she finally knew what it feels like to suffer from torment.

“You’ve finally came back......” she mumbled beside his ears, hugging his arms tighter and tighter, for the fear that he might run away, she didn’t even notice that scarf that was recently finished had dropped to the floor.

This is the first time that Hua ShuiRou took the initiative to hug him, the happiness that had overcame her shyness and missing him made him to be emotionally touched by her gentle feelings. Gently patting her back he said: “My Xiao RouRou seems to become thinner, is that because you’ve missed me so much?”

Hua ShuiRou was still hugging him, enjoying the feeling of sticking closely to him. After a very long moment, Ye Wuchen heard her quietly responded with “en”, his heart felt the warmth.

After a long uninterrupted affection, the two of them then separated. Ye Wuchen was caressing her smooth face, and gently said: “I’ve just came back, haven’t went home yet. When I passed by this place, I can’t help but longed to see you right away, so I secretly came in, I must go home first, so that my family will not worry about me, later on I’ll come back, okay?”

Hearing him can’t wait to see her without even returning home first, the feeling of happiness and delight in Hua ShuiRou’s was as if she would melt away, with face blushing she said: “Hubby, you’ve went to a very far place, auntie must have been worried for you, you must return home first.”

“Oh? Auntie?” Ye Wuchen looked at her seemingly half smiling.

Hua ShuiRou drooped down her head, the blush on her face was like a blooming lily, dainty and attractive, overcome with shyness she said in a low voice: “It’s mother.”

“That’s right, don’t forget that from now on, understood?” Ye Wuchen smiled and said.

“En......” she responded in a soft voice, finally saw the scarf lying on the floor, she bent her waist to pick it up, acting with confusion she brushed off the already dustless and clean surface.

“This is?” Ye Wuchen could already see that in a glimpse, that this scarf was made for him.

“This is...... the scarf that I’ve just made for you, the weather is starting to get cold...... Oh, why are you still wearing a thin layer of clothes, it must be very cold.” Hua ShuiRou discovered that he was wearing a thin layer of clothes. She was standing on tiptoe, then put the scarf around his neck, “now, can you just wear it? It’s a bit cold outside, or else, you might get freezed up.”

She evidently didn’t know that Ye Wuchen was not afraid of cold and heat, even if he stood naked in an iceberg or snow ground, he will not feel the slightest bit of coldness. Ye Wuchen didn’t want to see her disappointed, putting his hands on the scarf, with a gentle face he said: “Great, in the future I will only wear scarves made by my Xiao RouRou.”

“But, your clothes are too thin, I’ll make an outer clothing for you, okay?” Hua ShuiRou raised up her eyes to look at him.

“Very well, the outer clothing made by my Xiao RouRou, I will certainly like it.” said Ye Wuchen, feeling spoiled. He knew that for a young woman like her, making an outer clothing is not laborious, by instead it is a kind of enjoyment. During this time when he was out of the Tian Long City, he was missing Hua ShuiRou’s tenderness, rejoicing that she will become his wife.

Quietly entered, then quietly exited, the difference was, when he came out of the Hua residence, a white scarf was wrapped around Ye Wuchen’s neck, matching his white clothes.

“Okay, let’s go home!” Ye Wuchen pulled Ning Xue and Tong Xin’s hands, heading towards the direction of Ye residence.

Pushed open the house door, the Ye family was already waiting there having received the news, Wang WenShu almost threw herself over, lost with words as she enquired about his well-being, asked him how much hardships he had encountered outside, until seeing his complexion was as normal as ever, she then laid down her worries after knowing that he didn’t lose his weight.

When he stepped inside the main gate of the Ye residence, he had already felt an unusual atmosphere, that was a feeling that seemed to be missing something. And whether it was Ye Nu, Ye Wei, or Wang WenShu, including that Ye WuYun with a face full of fake smile, their expressions were hiding something peculiar. His heart became somehow heavier, but he restrained himself without asking, because before this, there’s one thing he must settle first.

“Chen-er, were you able to get that Heavenly Fire Dragon Fruit?” Indeed, after he entered for not so long, Ye Nu had prudently asked. After all, this matter involved the lives of the emperor and empress, also involved the honor and reputation of Ye family.

“Got it.” replied Ye Wuchen, forcing a smile in the corner of his mouth. His response made Ye Nu and Ye Wei feel relieved with a long sigh.

And at this time, there was commotion in front of the gate of Ye residence, Long Yin had personally visited, laughing heartily with ”haha” as he headed inside.

Ye Wuchen evidently knew the reason of his visit, his heart was worried, didn’t want to delay the time any longer, before the Ye family paid their courtesy, he directly went ahead and said: “Wuchen here to see Your Majesty, fortunately I didn’t dishonor your command, I had finally brought home the Heavenly Fire Dragon Fruit.”

“Hehehehe, I knew you would never disappoint me. Few days ago, I had also heard the castellan of the Yan Long City mentioned about a young man of around seventeen or eighteen years of age wearing white clothes taking two young girls heading towards the direction of the Heavenly Fire Volcano, it must be you. Come, let me take a look at this enchanted Heavenly Fire Dragon Fruit.”

If Long Yin had a very big suspicion before, now his suspicion against Ye Wuchen turned smaller and smaller. When Ye Wuchen left, he let his people to spur the horse at full speed to rush towards the Yan Long City, asking people to take note of his direction, knowing his destination was indeed heading towards the Heavenly Fire Volcano, now that the matter had came to an end, indeed there was nothing that he should be suspicious about. He did not believe that Ye Wuchen would be stupid enough to invent such illness, then making himself to sacrifice his life to get the antidote to take the credit.
