239: The All-Knowing Feng Yan Union 　　

The All-Knowing Feng Yan Union 　　

The towering palace did not give much of an impression to Ling Chuxi. The fifth princess brought Ling Chuxi smoothly to Consort Li's Phoenix Court. By right, Phoenix Court was ta place only the Empress had the qualifications to live in. However, the empress had passed away many years ago and Consort Li was constantly in the emperor's favor. Due to this, when Consort Li did move to live in Phoenix Court eventually, it was something that was expected.0

Once she entered, Ling Chuxi very quickly saw Consort Li herself, the woman who received the favor and pampering of the current emperor. What was odd was that she was not a beauty who could topple cities, but she did have a gentle appearance. Her whole aura gave off a gentle, friendly feel. In reality, her personality was also indeed like that. After seeing Ling Chuxi, she was very happy. First, she waved her hand to stop Ling Chuxi from bowing to her, then she ordered people to serve them tea, snacks and fruits. Everything served were things that Ling Chuxi liked. Obviously, she had already gotten information on Ling Chuxi's preferences from the fifth princess beforehand.

"Miss Ling Chuxi, please do not be courteous. You have been taking such good care of this child, Huayi. I never had the chance to properly express my thanks for that," said Consort Li as she smiled gently and pushed the plate of snacks by her side over to Ling Chuxi's side. "This tastes quite good. It is freshly made."

"Thank you, Consort Li," replied Ling Chuxi as she smiled and did not bother being overly courteous. She drank the tea and ate the food.

Consort Li, on the other hand, looked at Ling Chuxi with a smile and said gently, "This child, Huayi, is arrogant and willful. She had been spoilt by us till she was really unbearable. But lately, she has become more and more obedient. Later on, we only found out it was because of you, Miss Ling Chuxi. We really don't know how we could possibly thank you enough."

"Consort Mother, was I as bad as you described me to be?" asked the fifth princess in protest from where she was listening by the side and pouted.

"It really was the case," said Consort Li with a smile. "Go and take a look if your Imperial Father is here yet. He had said that he would be coming over."

"All right," said the fifth princess as she reluctantly put down the cup of tea in her hands and looked at Ling Chuxi. "Master, wait for me here. I will return very soon. My Consort Mother is a very good person, so you don't have to be too mindful."

The fifth princess only left after Ling Chuxi nodded at her.

After the fifth princess left, Consort Li instructed all the servant girls to be dismissed and then looked at Ling Chuxi with a serious expression. "Miss Ling Chuxi."

"Yes? Consort Li, please go ahead and speak." Ling Chuxi had a calm expression on her face, she knew that today's show had only just begun. She did not think that Consort Li invited her into the palace simply to treat her to some tea and snacks.

"I hope that Miss Ling Chuxi can lend a hand to the Emperor. At least, don't become someone belonging to the Deity Temple," said Consort Li as she suddenly stood up and made a deep bow to Ling Chuxi.

Ling Chuxi smiled somewhat thoughtfully. This Consort Li was not as gentle as she appeared to be on the surface and was furthermore not a mere consort from the harem that knew nothing about the world outside. However, what information did Consort Li have exactly that made her look at Ling Chuxi so admiringly?

"To be able to cure an ailment that Master Luo himself was not able to, and furthermore, to make Master Luo willingly acknowledge you as his master, how could it be that you are a person of ordinary character? To be able to procure news about you, Miss Ling Chuxi, Feng Yan Union really charged me expensively for it," said Consort Li as she smiled helplessly in her telling of this critical point.

Feng Yan Union, you b**tards! Ling Chuxi ruthlessly cursed at them in her heart. Really such blabbermouths! She didn't know how much they had earned from Consort Li for this information. No wonder Consort Li looked so favorably towards her. That also indicated that she had already enquired everything about her very clearly.

Consort Li was waiting for Ling Chuxi's reply anxiously. Ling Chuxi's ability was one that left both her and the emperor feeling shocked after they found out. The news that Feng Yan Union sold was absolutely true.
