Chapter 140:【Highlighted】Zhao Yang CP related, clean party members do not enter

On the day when the new emperor ascended the throne, it was a beautiful sunny day.

The sunlight spilled onto the surface of the Taiye Pond, and Zhao Hua pointed to a small turtle on a lotus leaf and asked, "Sister, why is it lying there motionless?"

Fengxuan smiled and replied, "Because, the little turtle is tired and wants to sleep."

Zhao Hua looked at the little turtle, then looked up at Fengxuan and asked in a soft voice, "Sister, are you tired too?"

"Sister is not tired."

Zhao Hua stood on her tiptoes and touched the tears on Fengxuan's face, saying, "Then why is sister crying?"

Fengxuan squatted down and let Zhao Hua's small hand wipe away the tears, smiling and saying, "Because today is the day when His Majesty ascends the throne, sister is happy."

Fengxuan had heard many harsh words in her life.

For example, when she was young and her mother was bedridden with a lingering illness, she would often touch her face and sigh softly, "Feng'er, my Feng'er, you're just a little phoenix. Why did you attract the monsters in the pond? So many people want this thing, but heaven likes to play tricks and gave it to you."

Fengxuan asked, "Mother, is it bad that I attracted the dragon in the pond?"

"It's bad, very bad."

"Why?"

Mother looked at Fengxuan with pity, "Because some things don't belong to you. Even if they are given to you, they are useless burdens. Do you understand, Feng'er?"

Fengxuan didn't understand at first, but after her mother died, she gradually understood.

Her older brothers took away her bamboo slips and smashed her beloved inkstone, mocking her, "Feng'er, what's the use of carrying so many books and essays? What's the use of showing off in front of the master? You are a woman, you will never be able to enter the court in this lifetime. It's better to copy more scriptures and burn a few volumes for your mother, to bless her with a smile in the underworld."

Her sister also laughed at her, "Fengxuan, the ink in your stomach is enough for you to find a good husband. Any more than that is a burden. Just like your face, it's beautiful, but too much becomes ominous. It not only harmed your mother's life, but in the future, you may suffer as well."

Fengxuan didn't believe in fate much. She didn't believe her brothers and sister's words, and stubbornly did things her own way.

It wasn't until she was sent to the  Qi Country by her father that she gradually believed in fate.

So Fengxuan would go to the Taiye Pond every day.

She would always wander there, just to catch a glimpse of Princess Zhao Yang studying in the study room. She knew that Princess Zhao Yang was such a proud and powerful woman, she had to make Princess Zhao Yang notice her, she had to rely on Princess Zhao Yang in order to survive here.

At the same time, Fengxuan was also afraid of the unapproachable Princess Zhao Yang, afraid that Princess Zhao Yang would see through her thoughts, see that she was just a sycophantic little person, and casually eliminate her.

But more than that, she was afraid of silently dying. So she would always appear on the path that Princess Zhao Yang had to pass on her way to class, looking at the flowers, the clouds, and the bright spring scenery of the Taiye Pond.

That day, the sun was shining brightly.

Fengxuan stood in front of Princess Zhao Yang, and she had rehearsed countless times in her mind what she would say next and everything she would do.
