Chapter 597 - The Queen’s Coronation (9)
Chapter 597 “The Queen’s Coronation (9)”
Long Xiaoya’s face had gone from white to blue as more and more people gathered around to see what’s the commotion all about. In the end, the girl could only turn to her father Long Chang Tian for help.
“Good Sir, I’m her father and the current chief of the Dragon Clan,” the dragon man says.
“I know you are the dragon chief. Have I not let you in already?” The gatekeeper casts a glance at the man before turning back around: “As for your daughter Miss Xiaoya here, I’m afraid the order stays since it came directly from the queen herself.”
Darkening a notch in his expression, the dragon chief’s voice grew stern and heavy: “I know the fourth elder of the Demon Council, he’s a member of my clan.”
“Hoho, forget about the fourth elder, even if the first elder came it would be the same. The queen’s order comes first before all!” The gatekeeper now openly sneers in contempt at the rude man: “Did you not hear what His Majesty declared at the time?”
“What?” The dragon chief asks with a wrinkled brow.
“Dragon Chief, your information network seems to be lacking. Although your Dragon Clan is far away from the capital and wasn’t present when it happened, nevertheless, its strange no one bothered to inform of you of the incident.” Looking up and down like he’s watching a fool now, the gatekeeper didn’t bother to hide the fact he’s enjoying the situation. “Sire have made it clear that the queen’s command stands above all else and that even His Majesty must be taken in second. Do you still want me to violate the queen’s order now?”
Seriously, this chief from the dragon family is trying to ruin me. As if I would be so stupid to really listen to him or anyone else for that matter at this point!
“Impossible, this…”
Under strain of this heavy news, Zhang Ruyi’s eyes instantly went mad. But just as she’s about to lash out to badmouth Bai Yan in front of the public, her father moved first and promptly covered up that mouth with his hand.
“I really didn’t know about any of these things,” Long Chang Tian’s complexion was ghastly.
He only knew the king was extremely fond of the queen but not to such an extent of spoiling the woman.
“Now that you know, are you going to have your daughter here leave or what? If the queen discovers this…” The gatekeeper smiles threateningly, indicating to his sheathed weapon on what would happen if so.
“Xiaoya, go back!” The father snaps, the voice stern and serious.
“Father!” The girl pops her eyes with disbelief.
This is my only chance. If I miss it then the one standing beside the king will be the other women out there…
“Go back immediately, this is an order!” Long Chang Tian’s face turned dark and won’t no for an answer.
First giving a final stare up at the imposing structure of the palace, then back at the ground, Long Xiaoya knew she couldn’t win this. Gritting her teeth, the girl turns away towards the other direction.
What is so great about the queen? She’s only the first woman of the king. In the future there will be countless more coming. I like to see her keep up that arrogant attitude by then!
“Husband,” Zhang Ruyi was filled with resentment as she watched her own daughter leave from their spot. “That woman is too…”
“Shut up!” The husband snaps at his wife as well, “This is the palace, not our home! Do you not know the saying of calamity comes from the mouth? If you really get into trouble, you can forget about me helping you!”
The dragon mother immediately shuts her mouth as instructed. In light of that scared and whitish appearance, the only thought running through the woman’s heart was curses and foul words at Bai Yan.
……
Compared with the noisy commotion outside, the White Moon Palace was relatively quiet.
If there’s anything of notable disturbance though, it had to be the infamous Huang Xiao Ying. The tigress was staring at Little Rice with infatuated eyes and refuses to budge until multiple gasps caught her attention.
It was Bai Yan. Adorned with a peerless red dress of immaculate creation, this bride looked absolutely incredible with the thin layer of makeup powder on her already amazing contour.
