Chapter 11 Imperial Royalty (Part 2/3)

 When the carriage arrived at Count Wangyang Mansion, everyone from the mansion, noble and servants alike, had already gathered in front of the gate.

"His Royal Highness and Her Royal Highness have arrived!" Ming Li chanted loudly.

"The Wanyang Family welcomes His Royal Highness and His Royal Consort" Count Wangyang took the lead and knelt down before the two.

"Blessings upon His Royal Highness Ling. Blessings upon Her Royal Highness Ling." The entire group of people gathered knelt down simultaneously and chanted with vigour.

"Rise. Today, I'm bringing Qiyang back for a visit. Firstly, he's just married to over to His Royal Highness Ling Manor. Inevitably, he missed his family members. Secondly, I would like him to be reunited with his Father during New Year as much as possible. Just keep things homely and straightforward across the mansion will do. " Jun Lixuan kept away the gentle sweetness he showed to Ling Qiyang. Instead, an unwavering regality amplified the dominance of a Prince.

"Yes." Count Wangyang got up.

Although Ling Qiyang wanted to support his father, he could not do so due to strict etiquette. Instead, he greeted from behind Jun Lixuan, "Sire, Madam, Father, Aunt Zhou." While he could have scrapped Aunt Zhou’s greeting as she was a concubine, Ling Qiyang showed her respect for treating his father well.

Madam Ling wore a stiff smile on her face, nodded and kept her silence. Hearing the greeting, Concubine Yue looked at his son. As a man of few words, it was enough for him to know that his son had cared for him.

Contrastingly, it was Aunt Zhou who chirpily welcomed Ling Qiyang, "Your Father has been looking forward to seeing you for a long time. Your eldest brother entered the palace on some errand after lunch. I guess he won’t be back in a while."

"It's okay." Compared with Count Wayang, his elder brother was chivalrous and good at fighting and academically inclined. With no son born to Madam Ling, he deserved to be the family's default heir. 

"I came back this time to bring some things for Father. Hopefully, it suits your taste." Jun Lixuan said next to him. From the first time he saw Concubine Yue, he knew that this person was definitely an extraordinary talent. He could not figure out how he ended up as the concubine to an incompetent noble like Count Wayang.

Hearing His Royal Highness Ling call Concubine Yue "Father" brought about many confused faces. Contrary, Concubine Yue took it with calm composure, nodded slightly, and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Seeing Jun Lixuan rapidly close the distance between himself and his concubine, panic rumbled within Count Wangyang. Jun Lixuan called his concubine "Father" but did not treat him anything more than a court official. He kept his cool on the surface and said respectfully, "This way, Your Highness."

Jun Lixuan nodded slightly, and instructed Ming Li, "Move everything to Father's yard."

"Yes." Ming Li was also a shrewd man and naturally knows whom to please. "Concubine Yue, please let someone show us the way."

"That's too much trouble. Qiyang, go to the yard with Father. I will sit in the main hall." Jun Lixuan knew that Ling Qiyang had a lot to talk about with his Father. While Ling Qiyang's Father seemed cold, his concern for Ling Qiyang overflowed from his gaze. Jun Lixuan brought the crowd along with himself and made a private time for them while he dealt with the others.

"Okay." Ling Qiyang took the offer, helping his Father and following Jun Lixuan to first step through the door.

As they walked through the gate, a cold snort echoed from the back. The voice was very soft. Ling Qiyang did not hear it very well and shrugged it off. On the other hand, Jun Lixuan heard jarringly clear. He turned his head slightly and threw a disdainful gaze onto the scornful face of Count Wangyang's daughter.

The menace in Jun Lixuan's eyes sent sharp shivers down Ling Jieyu spine. Immediately, she lowered her head and took rapid, deep breaths, attempting to calm her racing heart.

Ling Jieyu was Madam Ling's daughter. She was the result of a tough pregnancy. Although she was only a girl, she was still a precious descendant, mostly since childbirth was extremely rare in Ye Empire. Madam Ling doted on her a lot, sometimes excessively. Like just now, while she was from the main family line, she was still Ling Qiyang's junior. With Ling Qiyang as the Prince Consort, she should be the one greeting him. Not only did she not say not a word, but she also dared to sneer, cementing her disrespectfulness into stone.

However, Jun Lixuan did not point her out. This was his first time at Count Wangyang's Mansion, and he did not wish to make an ugly scene. Besides, Ling Qiyang's Father had to continue living here. For his sake, Jun Lixuan would let the vixen off the hook. With that in mind, Jun Lixuan looked away and entered the door in silence.

Alas, evil ploys brewed in Ling Jieyu's mind...

    1. This fictitious empire has very low birthrate for unexplained reasons. Also, the percentages of males to females are disproportionate, with alot more males.
