"Those who want to listen to music or songs, let's see if fate allows!" After saying that, Chu Nian raised her hand to send the group away.
Nie Feiyan suddenly mustered her courage and said, "Mr. Dongfang, would you be willing to stay with us at the palace for a while?"
Chu Nian's lips twitched after hearing this.
Lou Qianzong barely managed to suppress his laughter: There's a saying, "To lift a stone only to drop it on one's own foot," isn't that what it means?
If Jiang Bai hadn't been there with a dark expression, this guy probably would have said, "Brother Dongfang, with such a handsome face, you would be perfect to serve as the Empress's male consort or something."
Jiang Bai glared at Nie Feiyan and angrily shouted, "How dare you!"
Nie Feiyan quickly knelt down and said, "Seniors, please don't be angry. I invited Mr. Dongfang to stay at the palace temporarily, hoping that I would have the opportunity to hear his songs and music again. I dare not have any other vain thoughts."
After moving into the palace, you, sir, became completely free, able to go wherever you wanted and do whatever you pleased. Neither I nor my father dared to force you to do what you didn't want to do. As long as I could catch a glimpse of your music when you wished, I was already content.
Chu Nian said, "I can see that you are sincerely inviting me, but this place is different from the outside world. If you have the opportunity to enter the West Cave Villa in the future, you will understand what I mean. Therefore, I will not go to the palace."
Nie Feiyan had already guessed that the West Cave Courtyard was a hidden paradise. The moment she entered, she felt the air here was much more refreshing. So, thinking about it, why did they want to go to the palace with her?
She could only kowtow reluctantly, then stood up and curtsied again, saying, "Sir, you may think I am being presumptuous, but if there is anything I can do to help you in the future, please come to me, and I will do my best."
Chu Nian smiled and said, "Then I thank you in advance, Princess."
After Nie Feiyan and the other two left, Lou Qianzong sincerely exclaimed, "Wow, Dongfang, you really know how to stir things up!"
"Heh!" Jiang Bai couldn't help but chuckle as soon as he said that.
Lou Qianzong: "Look, even my master agrees with me this time."
Meanwhile, on Nie Feiyan's side, Ye Xiao complained, "Feiyan, why did you make that promise to that kid?"
Nie Feiyan said, "What does this have to do with you?" She thought to herself, "He has enlightened me about my life, so why can't I make such a promise to him?"
The Imperial Uncle was overjoyed to have obtained Lou Qianzong's elixir when he heard the two talking. He said to Ye Xiao, "I say, Prince Ye, Yan'er has already been recognized by her ancestors and is the princess that the emperor lost. You can no longer call her by her name like that."
Moreover, that Mr. Dongfang is favored by the Two Saints of Xuan Yuan and has already become sworn brothers with them. His seniority is far above yours. How can you keep calling him "that kid"? Even though he's not very old, you should at least address him as "Mr. Dongfang" like I and Yan'er do!
Ye Xiao was dumbfounded. Nie Feiyan was one thing, but... he murmured, "That kid has been eating and drinking at my Ye Wang Mansion since he was a child. Why should I address him with such respect now?"
Imperial Uncle: "It's all because he has the favor of the two saints, Xuan Yuan and Er Sheng."
Nie Feiyan solemnly reminded Ye Xiao, "Your Highness, that Mr. Dongfang is no ordinary person. You must not offend him again."
Ye Xiao felt a pang of resentment. Before, they were just his little shadow, his shadow, but now, merely by virtue of the power of the two Xuan Yuan Saints, they had surpassed him by more than a few points. How could he bear this?
The royal uncle was a cunning old fox. Judging from his expression, he could guess some of what the prince was thinking. He advised, "Prince Night, although Mr. Dongfang was indeed your illegitimate son in the past, he has now won the favor of the two saints of Xuan Yuan with his excellent zither playing. This is both his ability and his opportunity. You must not be confused just because he was your illegitimate brother in the past and now his status is above yours!"
"What is his identity?!" Ye Xiao thought indignantly, but he couldn't keep arguing with this old royal uncle who had an unusual identity. So he smiled and said, "Rest assured, royal uncle, I have remembered your teachings."
The Imperial Uncle smiled faintly: why did he feel that the Night King hadn't taken his words to heart? Oh well, it's none of his business. If the Night King suffers a loss in this matter in the future, that's his own problem.
However, after parting ways with Ye Xiao, he instructed Nie Feiyan: "Yan'er, I think that Ye Wang is a narrow-minded person. If he doesn't provoke Mr. Dongfang in the future, that's fine. But if he and Mr. Dongfang have a falling out, you must not offend Mr. Dongfang because of him, understand?"
Nie Feiyan replied, "Uncle, please rest assured, I know that."
The imperial uncle nodded, then left with peace of mind.
After returning to the palace, Nie Feiyan did not mention to anyone that Mr. Dongfang had said she possessed dragon energy. However, since this matter concerned the future of the Scorpio Kingdom, the Imperial Uncle dared not neglect it. The next day, when he entered the palace to meet the Emperor, he privately told him about it.
When the emperor heard that they had actually found the shore of Sun Lake and even entered a special space there, where they met the Xuan Yuan Two Saints and the musician Dongfang Bubai, and that Dongfang Bubai even said that those with the Heavenly Eye could see the dragon aura on Nie Feiyan, he was so frightened that he couldn't close his mouth for a long time.
Although he did love Nie Feiyan, he had not thought about the matter of becoming the crown prince, let alone letting Nie Feiyan inherit the throne.
However, the special space by the Sun Lake, coupled with the fact that he had received news that Mr. Dongfang was temporarily staying at the West Cave Villa, meant that the space Nie Feiyan and the Imperial Uncle entered was very likely the West Cave Villa.
Those who can enter that place are all emperors of past dynasties. Does this mean that Nie Feiyan possesses the aura of a dragon and is destined to be the next emperor of the Scorpion Kingdom?
.
In the days that followed, Chu Nian spent her days leisurely in the space newly created by Jiang Bai. Because she had placed a celestial spring in the waterfall pool here, the space was filled with celestial energy. Due to the various tempering and nourishment she had given to her physical body during this period, her body could now absorb celestial energy.
So she was having a great time here.
She, Jiang Bai, and Lou Qianzong spent their days playing the zither and flute, singing and reciting poetry. Jiang Bai even prepared all kinds of delicious food available in the world for her every day.
She was so happy living this kind of life that she completely forgot about what she had done before.
However, just because she forgot doesn't mean others forgot. With the support of her uncle and the emperor's insistence, Nie Feiyan finally became the heir to the throne.
The emperor, nearing sixty years of age, voluntarily abdicated. This was not the first time in the history of Scorpio Kingdom that an abdicated emperor had done so; everyone knew that many of these abdicated emperors did not die but instead went into seclusion.
