Reborn Spoiled Ming Wangfei-Chapter 249 - 24 Reincarnation of the Evil Star
24 Reincarnation of the Evil Star
At a time when Feng empire was extremely peaceful, Feng Yi Xuan did something that made Lan You Nian’s heart ache for him. Feng Yi Xuan discarded the potion that concealed the color of his eyes and used his real eye color to face the public eye.
When Feng Yi Xuan wore his purple eyes to court, not only were the scholarly and military officials stunned, Feng Xia Qi who sat on the throne didn’t understand what was going on. In the past, his younger brother was called a monster because of those violet eyes and has received many scornful looks and verbal abuse. It was because of these eyes that his younger brother was unwilling to speak with other little children. Later, his younger brother had his own power and concealed those violet eyes. The rumors faded. Feng Yi Xuan looked at his younger brother in confusion.
At court, everyone used an expression as if they were seeing a monster as they glanced at Prince Ming. Even if the Emperor’s expression was cold and without a smile, it couldn’t keep everyone’s curious gaze. Their gazes were disgusting.
After morning court was over, the rumors of Prince Ming’s devilish violet eyes spread. It really was that good news didn’t leave the while while the bad news spread a thousand miles. In an instant, the entire capital started to discuss if Prince Ming was the reincarnation of the devil. If they weren’t fearful of Prince Ming manor’s might and means, many commoners would demonstrate at Prince Ming manor’s doors.
“A’Xuan, what are you doing?” In the imperial study, the two brothers sat facing one another. Feng Xia Qi no longer wore a smile as he scolded Feng Yi Xuan in vexation. Though he wasn’t as capable as this younger brother, he was already the Emperor. He wanted to protect hese people but this younger brother caused such trouble. How can Feng Xia Qi not be angry.
Feng Yi Xuan gazed at Feng Xia Qi without any concealment. Feng Xia Qi wasn’t afraid. When it was between their own people, Feng Yi Xuan didn’t conceal his eyes. None of them felt Feng Yi Xuan was the devil. But because they felt this way didn’t mean the commoners will feel this way. Rumors can be more harmful than anything.
“You already proposed marriage to Lan manor yet you revealed your eyes at a time like this. You should think about Nian’er!” Feng Xia Qi looked at Feng Yi Xuan in disapproval. Before, others were envious of Lan You Nian can marry Prince Ming but now people were lamenting. This wasn’t fair to Nian’er.
Feng Yi Xuan’s eyes flashed when Feng Xia Qi mentioned Nian Nian and then explained, “When I first met Nian Nian, Nian Nian didn’t condemn me for my eyes. AS long as Nian Nian isn’t afraid and doesn’t scorn me, I don’t care!”
“Of course I know Nianer doesn’t care but you can’t do this. The commoners have nearly forgotten after hiding it for so many years. Once it is revealed, who knows what rumors will begin again!” Feng Xia Qi knew Nianer didn’t care. When they thought Nian’er’s face was disfigured, Feng Yi Xuan still loved her, uncaring about everything else. Nianer didn’t mind when she saw Feng Yi Xuan’s eyes. The love between the two of them made people envious.
“Next year at the start of spring, I will marry Nian Nian!” Feng Yi Xuan said, his eyes filling with a gentle smile and expectations. Actually he was already preparing for the wedding. He wanted to give Nian Nian a wedding she will never forget.
“Uh I know!” Feng Xia Qi didn’t understand. He was there when the betrothal gifts were offered. How wouldn’t he know they would be married next year?
“Nian Nian is only fifteen next year and hasn’t come of age!” Feng Yi Xuan explained.
Feng Xia Qi nodded to show he understood. Suddenly Feng Xia Qi asked disbelievingly, “So you deliberately revealed your violet eyes because of Nian’er? But why? I know it’s not proper for Nianer to marry you before she comes of age but what is the use of this?”
Most women married after they came of age. Those women who married before coming of age were only concubines or weren’t favored by the husband’s family. If an ordinary woman married before coming of age, it was a great shame to others.
“I know imperial brother has a good relationship with the head Master Wu Tian of the imperial temple. I hope imperial brother can have Master Wu Tian announce to the world that Prince Ming is an evil star reincarnated but Princess Consort Ming is lucky star born. As long as Princess Consort Ming marries Prince Ming sooner, the evil star will be reformed by the lucky star, and become the guardian of Feng empire!” Feng Yi Xuan told him his plans. This way would make his reputation worse but make Nian Nian into the woman the entire of Feng empire will thank. With this, Nian Nian won’t be talked about for marrying him before coming of age.
Additionally, Feng Yi Xuan wanted to use his real appearance to face the world. He didn’t like to be separated by a layer of potion every time he looked at Nian Nian.
“Eh!” Feng Xia Qi was unable to scold his younger brother’s deep affection. He was unwilling to let Nianer suffer the slightest grievance, even if it was just rumors. As his imperial brother, paired with his feelings for Nianer, Feng Xia Qi would help him.
“You must know how difficult it is to see Master Wu Tian, and to let Master Wu Tian lie, do you think it’s possible A’Xuan?” Feng Xia Qi asked in vexation. The Imperial Temple was respected by everyone in Feng empire. Everyday people went to the temple to offer incense in an endless stream. The Imperial temple was responsible for divining the stars and praying. The head of the imperial temple Master Wu Tian was even more mysterious and was respected, even more respected than him the Emperor. He did know Master Wu Tian but to have Master Wu Tian lie…Feng Xia Qi felt it wasn’t likely.
“Master Wu Tian will agree because you are the Emperor! If he doesn’t agree, don’t blame me for really becoming the killing star!” Feng Yi Xuan declared, his eyes flashing coldly. He actually quite respected that Master Wu Tian for Master Wu Tian was a compassionate monk, but for Nian Nian, so what if he had to threaten him?
Feng Xia Qi’s lips twitched. This younger brother of his really didn’t do things normally, even daring to threaten Master Wu Tian. But Feng Xia Qi had to admit this was the best method. Only, he had to be the bad guy. He hoped Master Wu Tian can give him a good face when they meet.
“Alright, I know what to do!” Feng Xia Qi said with a bitter face, “You should go back to see Nianer. The rumors in the capital has most likely turned over the sky!”
Without any salutations, Feng Yi Xuan used qingong to leave the imperial palace….
When Feng Yi Xuan returned to You Nian Pavilion, he noticed Nian Nian was already waiting there as if waiting for him. Feng Yi Xuan’s heart ached as he hurried over to Lan You Nian’s side, taking off his outer robe to drape it over Lan You Nian, scolding, “It’s already entered autumn. Why are you standing in the wind?”
Lan You Nian lifted her head to look into the unconcealed violet orbs. Those violet eyes reflected her figure. Those violet orbs were brimming with love for her. Lan You Nian lifted her hand to gently stroke Feng Yi Xuan’s violet eyes. She always thought those eyes were the most beautiful gems in the world.
“Why?” Lan You Nian’s voice held heartache and helplessness.
Feng Yi Xuan carried Lan You Nian and frowned as he weighed her in his arms. Why was Nian Nian so light? With a glance at Nian Nian’s slim body, Feng Yi Xuan determined he must fatten Nian Nian up.
Entering the pavilion, Feng Yi Xuan said, “You once said there’s no need to bother with others’ gazes. I hope to use my real face to see you.” He didn’t want to hide his eyes outside. Nian Nian wouldn’t be seeing the real him.
Lan You Nian clenched her teeth on the neck Feng Yi Xuan exposed outside but was reluctant to use strength. Her heart hurt as she licked it but her licking lured out the fire in Feng Yi Xuan’s body.
“Is it because of me?” Lan You Nian buried herself in Feng Yi Xuan’s arms. Though she didn’t know what Feng Yi Xuan wanted to do, Lan You Nian’s insticts told her that Feng Yi Xuan did this most likely for her.
“No, for us!” Feng Yi Xuan’s voice was lowered, making his voice sound low and deep as if a zither was humming, making Lan You Nian’s heart tremble.
——
As Feng Yi Xuan expected, after Feng Xia Qi saw Master Wu Tian and begged and threatened, a few days later, Master Wu Tian who was rarely seen appeared in the imperial temple and said, he observed the sky at night and knew that Prince Ming was the reincarnation of an evil star. Only Lan manor’s legitimate daughter Lan junzhu could reform him, dissolving Prince Ming of his hostility and become the guardian of Feng empire!
If this was said by another, even the Emperor, the commoners wouldn’t believe it but it was different when this was said by Master Wu Tian. In the commoners’ eyes, Master Wu Tianwere like the reclusive eminent monk, his every act and word was respected by the commoners. Master Wu Tian has made predictions several times before which have all come true.
So the commoners were extremely eager for Lan junzhu to marry Prince Ming, the sooner the better. Lan You Nian in the commoners’ eyes was a fairy who was the savior of the world. No one scorned her but respected her.
“A’Xuan, your idea is simply amazing!” Jing Wu An held Yu Liu Li’s hand as they sat in Prince Ming manor’s garden, grinning at Feng Yi Xuan.
“Yeah, all the officials in court issued memorials to have Xia Qi decree the marriage of A’Xuan and Nianer. It looks like they can’t wait for you two to get married right away!” Yu Liu Yi continued. Though he didn’t interfere with matters of court, he was still aware of certain things.
“A’Xuan, you are too anxious! Nian’er is still young!” Though Lan Mo Xian knew father has agreed to Prince Ming manor’s marriage but to marry out his little sister so early, as the older brother, Lan Mo Xian felt uneasy inside.
“I can’t wait a single moment!” Feng Yi Xuan said, pouring water for Lan You Nian. The wedding date has been set on next year’s second month. Only a few months were left. Feng Yi Xuan longed for time to pass by quicker.
