Chapter 214: Anxious to Reconcile with Ex-Love
"Your Majesty had many noble ladies in his harem, but most of them were beauties sent from various tribes and cities. Only she was brought back to the palace by His Majesty himself. He doted on her immensely and bestowed upon her the name Meiji..."
Nanny Fang glanced at Sang Luo nervously and didn't dare to say anything further, for fear that this noble lady would get angry.
There was no emotion on Sang Luo's face. She was chewing the spiritual fruit, listening to the show, and motioning her to continue.
Nanny Fang had no choice but to say, "Alas, everyone in the palace back then knew that if His Majesty hadn't had health problems and had no children, Mei Ji would have already been the mistress of the Phoenix Palace."
"Oh~ It turns out to be Fei Yuan's ex-lover."
Nanny Fang hurriedly said, "Please rest assured, my lady. That was all in the past. Before you came to live in the palace, His Majesty had already dismissed all the concubines from the palace. We have no further connection."
Sang Luo didn't say anything. It was expected. In Fei Yuan's hundreds of years of life, there were so many beautiful women in the harem offering their charms and seductions. It would be abnormal if he didn't feel moved.
He doesn't seem like a man who keeps himself clean. If he wasn't poisoned, she wouldn't be able to take his essence.
"That Meiji is here today too?"
"Well, the leader of the Qingluan tribe wants to see Your Majesty about something, and he brought along several of his family members. Mei Ji has been unhappy since she was dismissed from the palace, so she won't miss the opportunity to meet Your Majesty. She and Your Majesty... have a deep bond, and she probably wants to take this opportunity to rekindle their old love." Another servant continued.
"Where is she now? I would like to see how beautiful she is and how she can capture Fei Yuan's soul." Sang Luo was curious.
"She wants to see His Majesty, but His Majesty is still attending the morning court and should still be waiting in the side hall."
Sang Luo had nothing to do, so he took people to the side hall.
From a distance, one could see a beautiful female with graceful manners sitting on a small bridge beside a pond next to the side hall. She was holding a bag of fish food in her hand and was feeding the fish out of boredom.
She has long blue hair, a feather crown and gorgeous clothes, and a veil covering the lower half of her face, making her face vague and her facial features not very clear. However, her every move and gesture has an otherworldly temperament and unique style and charm, making people notice her at a glance in the crowd.
"This must be Mei Ji, right?" Sang Luo asked with certainty.
The servant nodded, "Yes."
Sang Luo also took a bag of fish food. When she got closer, she found that Mei Ji's eyes and eyebrows were not as lively and smart as those of a young girl. Instead, she had more of the sexy and elegant look of a mature woman. Considering that her lifespan was about a thousand years at the True King level, she was only about four hundred years old, which was not very young.
But she has taken very good care of herself. From a distance, she looks no more than thirty years old. Her eyebrows and eyes are not absolutely beautiful, but she has a great figure, with plump hips, big breasts, and a slender waist that can be held in one hand. She still has charm, allure, and purity.
Sang Luo couldn't help but look down at her own assets, feeling a little ashamed of herself. Fei Yuan, that lustful man, liked this kind of sexy beauty at first sight, no wonder he was so bewitched by her and even gave her the title of Mei Ji.
"Excuse me, who are you..." Mei Ji also saw her coming, but did not greet her, but just asked politely.
"I have no status, but the child in my belly is your Majesty's flesh and blood."
Meiji's face was stunned, her fingers clenched in her sleeves, and after a while she came to her senses and saluted, "I am rude."
"It's okay. This is the first time we meet. I just moved into the Phoenix Palace recently, so it's normal that you don't recognize me."
Meiji pursed her lips and said to her, "Sangluo noble lady, may I speak further?"
"If you have anything to say, just tell me right here." Sang Luo dismissed the waiter.
Seeing this, Mei Ji also asked the orcs behind her to retreat first.
When there were only two of them on the bridge, Meiji restrained the proper smile on her face and did not hide her hostility.
She took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty and I have been childhood sweethearts, having known each other since childhood. I have been by his side since he was still a prince... When Your Majesty and I were deeply in love, I'm afraid you weren't even born yet."
"If you have something to say, please speak directly. There's no need to be so roundabout."
"Oh, Sang Luo Guicuo is a smart woman, so I'll be frank." Mei Ji said with a sneer on her face, "His Majesty will always have a place for me in his heart. Even if you are pregnant with his child, you will never be his sweetheart."
She said, "His Majesty treats you so well only for the sake of an heir. Once the heir is born, he will abandon you. I hope you can let go early and make plans."
"I will be the only one by your Majesty's side."
Sang Luo, "Are you so sure that Fei Yuan will force me, the biological mother of his child, away for your sake?"
Male beasts value their offspring far more than their partners. Sang Luo was well aware of Fei Yuan's feelings for her, but she would never doubt how much he valued this child.
Even for the sake of the child, Fei Yuan would love her as much as he loves her in the family, and it would be impossible for him to drive her away for the sake of a concubine he once favored.
Meiji was quite confident, "Your Highness is still too young and doesn't understand the mind of a male beast. Your Majesty always says sweet words to make the female happy, but to see if he truly cares, we need to see what he actually does."
“…”
"If I'm not mistaken, Your Majesty hasn't given you a soul mark until now, right?"
Sang Luo was speechless and had no way to refute.
Fei Yuan only gave her the tracking mark and never mentioned the soul mark.
Meiji was even more pleased with herself, her red lips curled up charmingly, "His Majesty didn't hold a ceremony to marry you, nor did he give you a soul mark. His intention was very clear. He wanted to abandon you after you gave birth to the child."
Sang Luo knew that Mei Ji wanted to sow discord, but he agreed with her words in his heart.
Male animals usually give their soul mark to their partners after the first mating. At the very least, they will give it to the female when she is pregnant.
Fei Yuan never mentioned this matter, simply because he didn't want to give it.
With an heir to inherit his legacy, he no longer had to worry about anything and could support his beloved concubine to ascend to the throne.
Without Fei Yuan's absolute favor, Mei Ji would never be so arrogant.
"What Meiji Guici said is not without reason, but there is one thing you said wrong."
"What?"
"After I give birth to this baby..." Sang Luo touched his belly and smiled at her, "I kicked him."
Mei Ji was stunned. When she came to her senses, the person had already left.
She looked a little strange.
An orc from the Qingluan tribe came to pick her up, and then she went back to the side hall to wait.
After eating, Sang Luo took a nap and woke up in the evening.
Usually at this time, no matter how busy Fei Yuan was, he would come over to eat with her and check her body. At night, he couldn't wait to pull her to do something...
But he didn't come tonight.
Sang Luo sent his servant to call him.
After a while, the servant came back and said that His Majesty was dealing with government affairs and could not get away.
It's not like him to handle government affairs late at night.
Sang Luo remembered something and asked again, "Has Meiji left?"
The servant hesitated and answered honestly, "Your Majesty has allowed her to stay in the palace tonight."
Sang Luo's expression was calm, "Are you having an affair secretly from me?"
The baby in her belly had not been born yet, but Fei Yuan could no longer bear it and was eager to rekindle his old love with his beloved.
