Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower novel Chapter 455

Chapter 455 Empress Dowager Mei Edict

Long Qian Xing really wanted to pry open Empress Dowager Mei's head to find out just what was inside this woman's head. He felt that just because he was close to Emperor Yang Zhou, it meant that Empress Dowager Mei would try to go against him at almost every turn.

"Your Highness, I'm not even an adult yet." Long Qian Xing smiled.

He was only 17 years old. If he was already an adult, his mother would have long pestered him to make Nan Hua become his bride right away.

"Is that so? In that case, Aijia will help you out."

Empress Dowager Yan furrowed her eyebrows. "Imperial Sister, don't you think it would be inappropriate for you to meddle?"

"The two youths like each other very much. Why can't I help them be together?" Empress Dowager Mei countered.

Like?

It was clear that it was only one sided.

However, not a single one of them dared to offend Empress Dowager Mei. They knew that Empress Dowager Mei was known to be unreasonable and because of her humble birth, many people didn't like her either.

Her reputation was not the best.

And she often made things difficult for others like this. _{frёewebηovel.cѳm}

The previous times, she had already caused a lot of troubles for some other nobles, but they couldn't do anything. They could only try to twist the meaning of her words when they followed the edict.

Empress Dowager Mei is not the smartest person anyway and as long as they keep things within the line, she wouldn't be able to nitpick.

That was far better than having her give edict again and again towards them.

That would be annoying.

"Imperial Sister had to remember that they're from Long Family and Shangguan Family. If they're not satisfied with the arrangement, it might be difficult," Empress Dowager Yan reminded with a faint smile.

Empress Dowager Mei looked at Empress Dowager Yan as she wished to slap the other party. Being of humble birth, the person whom she had been compared with has always been Empress Dowager Yan.

It was to the point that she felt sick whenever she saw the other party's face and yet, they still had to act like the closest sister.

It was disgusting.

Empress Dowager Yan was an expert of winning the public opinion. It was easy for her to turn the tide in her favor as long as she could say some words that seemed to be the most suitable in any occasion.

"There's no need to worry. Aijia will help Second Young Miss Shangguan since she's eager to enter Long Family Residence. Hear my words, Second Young Miss Shangguan, Shangguan Mi will be Long Qian Xing's concubine after Lantern Festival. He didn't need to prepare any bride price as he only need to welcome a new woman into his residence."

The words Empress Dowager Mei selected was very crude and unbefitting of her status. However, the people around didn't say anything.
