Feng Ling suddenly said to the king, “Yesterday, Grand General went to Lan’er’s place. Lan’er said that she had something very important to give to Grand General, but Grand General left without taking anything.”

When the king heard this, his gaze darkened. He turned to look at the unconscious Grand General and thought for a few seconds before saying to Feng Ling, “Ling’er, go out first.”

“What are you going to do?”

The king walked up to the general and tilted his head to look at her. “See what he has on him,” he said.

Feng Ling froze for a moment before turning to leave.

After Feng Ling walked out and closed the door, the king lifted the General’s blanket and felt around for a while.

Soon, he found a dudou in his clothes.

Taking out the dudou, the king merely took a look and a powerful murderous aura appeared in his eyes.

“Since you’re unwilling to wake up, don’t wake up.”

After saying that, he put his dudou into his clothes, pulled the blanket over General, and walked out.

When Feng Ling saw the king come out, she quickly asked, “Did you find anything?”

The king looked at her and said calmly, “I didn’t find anything.”

After saying that, he raised his hand to touch her hair and said, “Go eat first. You can ask Feng Lan later what she wanted to give the Grand General.”

At this point, he added, “If anyone dares to do anything to let you down, don’t be soft-hearted.”

Feng Ling tilted her head to look at him, feeling that there was something behind his words.

However, the king shut his mouth and stopped talking.

The two of them went to the palace. While eating, Feng Ling wondered what would happen if she and Feng Lan fell out.

At this moment, a piece of food was placed in her bowl.

Then, the king’s disapproving voice could be heard. “Eat.”

Feng Ling looked at the king, who was eating seriously. She thought that this person was just like when she first met Yan and wasn’t adorable at all.

Indeed, even if a person reincarnated, the things carved in their soul couldn’t be changed.

Feng Ling ate the food in her bowl and looked at the dishes on the table. Only then did she realize that all the dishes were her favorite. She couldn’t be picky even if she wanted to.

At the thought of this, Feng Ling looked up at him.

After a few seconds, she opened her mouth and asked, “Your Majesty, did you discover something?”

“What?” The king looked up at her and asked instead of answering.

Feng Ling thought for a while and probed, “Why do you think Lan’er asked the Grand General to go to her place? The Grand General even went there.”

With the Grand General’s injuries, even if she had treated him, it was impossible for him to recover so quickly. Moreover, he needed to recuperate quietly. Feng Ling was simply puzzled.

At this moment, the king picked up some food for her and said, “You can ask the general when he wakes up.”

Feng Ling wouldn’t ask such a thing. As the High Priestess, how could she be curious about other people’s private affairs?

Although she was indeed extremely curious.

The king looked at Feng Ling’s lowered eyes and knew what she was thinking. He suddenly said, “The ministers performed well today. How do you think I should reward them?”

Feng Ling was just thinking of finding a chance to fall out with Feng Lan. When she heard him say that, her eyes darted around and she said, “Why don’t you hold a banquet and invite them?”

“Okay.”

Since a banquet was going to be held, there must be a lot of people invited. Soon, Feng Lan also received an invitation.

She looked at the invitation in her hand and thought about how the king rarely held a royal banquet. She had to dress up beautifully tonight.

The moment she thought about dressing up, she thought of Feng Ling. She decided to see what Feng Ling was wearing first.

Feng Ling had just stayed in the herbs refining room for a while when she heard footsteps walking in. Then, it was Feng Lan’s voice. “Sister, the royal banquet is being held tonight. Why are you still concocting medicine?”

Feng Ling said without looking back, “It’s still early.”

“How is it still early? There are so many daughters from wealthy families tonight. Sister, as the successor to the High Priest, you can’t be inferior to them in any aspect.”

“It’s okay. They can’t compare to me.”

Feng Ling was actually telling the truth. In Phoenix Skies, no woman could compare to her.

However, these words were especially ear-piercing in Feng Lan’s ears.

She snorted coldly in her heart: ‘Who said that no one can compare to you!’

Feng Lan asked casually, “Sister, which set of clothes are you going to wear tonight? Even if you don’t care about the others, you still have to choose a set of gorgeous clothes to wear, right?”

Feng Ling looked at Feng Lan, who obviously hoped that she wouldn’t look too good in it, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. “You’re right. Coincidentally, I haven’t worn the Golden Cicada Feather Silk Robe that XX Nation offered as tribute.”

“Uh… Sister, you’re going to wear that?”

“That’s right. I think it’s better to dress formally for such banquets.”

When Feng Lan heard this, she lowered her eyes and looked at her with her smiling eyes. “Sister is right.”

Feng Ling also smiled. “Go dress up first. I’ll go after brewing the medicine here.”

“Then don’t forget the time, Sister.”

“Okay.”

Watching Feng Lan leave, the corners of Feng Ling’s lips curled up.

The royal banquet was held at around four in the afternoon. The king and Feng Ling sat on the seats above, and all the ministers sat with their wives and daughters.

The king raised his gla.s.s and praised them. Everyone quickly responded accordingly and drank the first gla.s.s of wine.

Then, a minister stood up and said, “This time, the wheat in the western suburbs was saved from the water disaster due to the foresight of the king and the priestess. My daughter specially composed a dance. Please kindly accept it, Your Majesty and Priestess.”

The king didn’t agree to that minister immediately. Instead, he asked Feng Ling, “Little Ling’er, do you want to watch a dance?”

Feng Ling nodded.

The king: “Go ahead.”

A melodious tune sounded. Minister w.a.n.g’s daughter walked in with graceful steps and started dancing.

Feng Ling had just watched for a while when Feng Lan, who was sitting beside her, quietly walked to her side and said in a low voice, “Sister, Minister w.a.n.g has always wanted w.a.n.g Lianyi to marry the king as his consort. Why do you still want her to dance?”

Feng Ling tilted her head and looked at the anxious Feng Lan, who seemed to be considerate for her. She narrowed her eyes and thought for a while before asking, “What do you think I should have done then, Lan’er? Reject it?”

“It’s definitely not good to reject. It will make people think that Sister is jealous.”

“Mm… so what do you have in mind?”

“Why don’t you dance too, Sister?”

Feng Ling sneered in her heart. As the successor of the High Priest of the Kingdom of Phoenix Skies, besides performing the sacrificial dance at the sacrificial altar, it was impossible for her to dance elsewhere. Was Feng Lan pretending not to know? Or did she have other motives?

Feng Ling sized up Feng Lan’s attire tonight. It had to be said that the clothes she was wearing were especially scheming. It was the kind of clothes that were very suitable for dancing.

Feng Ling immediately understood it. “Why don’t Lan’er dance on my behalf?”

“Erm…”

“It’s decided then.”

“Alright.”

Since a daughter of one family had come out to dance, there would be a second and third family. When the a.s.sistant Minister’s daughter finished dancing, Feng Ling clapped her hands at everyone and said,

“Since so many ladies are interested tonight, why don’t we let my younger sister dance too? Lan’er has followed me since she was young and is good at dancing. Consider this a spar with all the ladies.”

When Feng Ling said this, everyone looked at Feng Lan.

Of course, as Feng Ling’s younger sister, everyone would definitely fawn over Feng Lan on the surface. As for whether those young ladies competed in private, Feng Ling couldn’t stop them.

Feng Lan’s dance was indeed very beautiful. When she started dancing, everyone was attracted by her beautiful clothes. Especially when her dress unfolded, there were even flower-like light spots floating out. Coupled with her beauty, she instantly charmed many young officials.

While everyone was looking at Feng Lan, Feng Ling asked the king in a low voice, who was drinking wine with his gla.s.s, “Your Majesty, do you think Lan’er’s dance is very charming?”

The king didn’t think much of Feng Lan’s dance. Hearing Feng Ling’s question, he only said these words, “Making a fool out of oneself.”

Feng Ling froze for a moment, then smiled and raised the wine gla.s.s in front of her to toast him.

The king also raised his gla.s.s at her.

Feng Ling said, “Don’t keep drinking. Look at the other ladies’ dance.”

The king’s gaze darkened and he said, “Get rid of the thoughts in your head. Otherwise, I’ll get someone to give away all the wine in the wine cellar.”

“You…”

Feng Ling was furious and was about to speak when Feng Lan’s dance ended.

Feng Ling put down her wine gla.s.s and smiled at Feng Lan, who was walking towards them.

The king glanced at her and put down his gla.s.s.

Feng Lan stood in front of the two of them and first bowed to the king before asking in an expectant and shy tone, “Your Majesty, Sister, what do you think of my dance?”

The king pursed his lips slightly and didn’t want to answer at all.

Feng Ling nodded. “You danced very well.”

Feng Lan quietly glanced at the king, lowered her eyes, and walked back to her seat.

When the dance ended, the head butler brought the palace maids in to deliver wine.

After the banquet, it was already dark. The palace was lit with crystal lights, making it as bright as day.

Feng Lan came over and suggested to Feng Ling, “Sister, why don’t we bring the other ladies to the pavilion in the Hundred Flower Garden to admire the flowers?”

It was still raining, but there were a few huge pavilions in the Hundred Flower Garden. It wasn’t a bad idea to admire the flowers there on a rainy day.

Of course, it would be better to admire the flowers during the day.

However, Feng Ling knew that Feng Lan definitely had a motive. She also had a motive. Coupled with the fact that besides a few women left behind by the late emperor (who were also very close to her), the king didn’t have any women in his harem, so she cooperated and agreed.

When the king knew that Feng Ling was going to the Hundred Flower Garden to admire the flowers, he specially sent the head butler to serve her.

At this moment, the rain had become lighter. Feng Ling led a group of women around the corridor and walked towards the backyard.

This was the first time the ladies of the aristocratic families had come here. Along the way, they were all a little excited.. When they reached the Hundred Flower Garden, all the ladies covered their mouths in surprise when they saw the beautiful scenery in front of them.
