Chapter 264 I Can Also Rule the World (35)
Early in the morning of the second day, after the court meeting ended, Feng Xiyu immediately went to the shrine with her daughters Feng Linlang and Qin Liu.
Kunyun Kingdom is a country founded on belief in gods, and there are palaces dedicated to gods in many places across the country.
"Your Majesty, you are here!" Upon learning that Feng Xiyu was going to visit the Divine Palace in person, the Palace Master of the Divine Palace had been waiting at the door early. After seeing Feng Xiyu, he hurried forward with a flattering smile on his face.
Then, he cautiously asked, "Do you need to see Zhengqing today?"
Feng Xiyu shook her head slightly and replied firmly, "I came here only to seek some nectar, so there is no need to disturb him."
It turns out that this Zhengqing is not someone else, but Feng Xiyu's father.
Before she set out on her journey to gain experience outside, Zhengqing had already come to the shrine to practice.
That year, Feng Xiyu was only eight years old. She clearly remembers that her father was reading a book when he suddenly burst into laughter and left a sentence: "The world is as illusory as a dream of bananas and deer, and vanity is as vain as flowers in the mirror."
By the time everyone came to their senses, Zhengqing had already changed out of Empress Yuan's attire and asked for leave from the palace with Feng Xiyu's mother.
After that, Feng Xiyu went to visit him many times, but she could only see him two or three times out of ten times.
Over time, the relationship between father and daughter gradually faded.
Her father was different from many men in Kunyuan Kingdom. Although he was also from Kunyuan Kingdom, Zhengqing lived in other countries outside Kunyuan Kingdom before he was fifteen years old.
Women are not respected there, and their status is even somewhat low.
Therefore, Zhengqing was more or less unable to adapt to life after returning home, let alone entering the palace to become a queen for a woman.
But he was born into Kunyuan Country's top family - the Lan family. This family has close ties with the royal family, and the Lan family has produced several queens.
The Lan family had many descendants, but most of them were girls. By Lan Zhengqing's generation, he was the only candidate who could enter the palace.
Otherwise, his father would not have been so anxious to call this son who was raised outside back to Kunyuan Kingdom.
Did Lan Zhengqing have a sweetheart? Probably, he did, which was why he was so unhappy. After entering the palace, he was a little cold towards the beautiful empress.
Of course! But the young and energetic queen also has a lover, so this is a pair of resentful couples who seem to have a good relationship on the surface, but secretly dislike each other.
There is no emotion, but the dynasty always needs an heir.
The Lan family was notoriously stubborn, and they had no intention of using the fruit from the related tree to produce more offspring for the royal family.
"We must have a child, otherwise you and I will never be free." The Queen then lowered her face to negotiate with Lan Zhengqing, "You don't want to be trapped here for the rest of your life, do you?"
In addition, the news from the Lan family roughly meant that if Lan Zhengqing could no longer have children for the royal family, then his cousin would be sent to the palace when he came of age.
This cousin has a childhood sweetheart. Lan Zhengqing thought that he had not been able to achieve his wish in this life and was "trapped" here, so he decided not to implicate others.
So he and the Queen took a two-pronged approach. He worked hard to cultivate the kinship tree, while the Queen actively prepared for pregnancy, to see which side would have "results" first.
Not long after, the empress became pregnant, and the child, Feng Xiyu, was born ten months later.
On the day of her birth, the sky was bright and strange phenomena occurred frequently. In addition, Feng Xiyu's mark was the Blue Luan, so the rumor that a holy lord had been born inevitably spread.
After all, she was his own daughter. Lan Zhengqing stayed with her in the palace for three years before he said he wanted to leave the palace for a walk. However, he only stayed away for a year and then came back. After that, he became even more silent and cold. Until his daughter was eight years old, he saw through the world and left the palace to practice.
Feng Xiyu couldn't let it go at that time. What was outside Kunyuan Country? How did the people there live? Why did her father always miss her?
Therefore, at the age of twelve, after hearing Qin Liu's "dream" again, he went to other countries to take a look. After all, according to his father, all the men outside Kunyuan Country were like that.
Now Feng Xiyu is no longer the little girl who knows nothing about the outside world, and she is no longer at the age where she needs a father.
She understood that the friendship between men and women could not be forced, so she didn't want to see her father. She just wanted him to live in peace!
"Your Majesty, why are you here today..." the palace master asked after having someone serve tea to Feng Xiyu.
Feng Xiyu did not shy away from the question and said frankly: "Qin Liu's relatives' trees have a long growth cycle. When supplying nutrients, some of them lose a lot of nutrients in the middle. I want to ask for some nectar to help his trees recover to their best condition."
"I wonder if I can take a look at the tree." The Palace Master pondered for a moment and then explained, "We always have to look at the situation before making a conclusion."
Qin Liu took out the tree and placed it on the table.
The white spots on the trunk made the Palace Master look at him several times. After thinking for a while, he said, "The tree is not a big problem. It's just that this relative tree has suffered too much from its owner during its growth. You should let it go."
