Chapter 596 “The Queen’s Coronation (8)”
Zhang Ruyi’s face instantly changed: “How can she do that? Is the queen such a jealous person that she would drive you out just to keep the king from meeting you? Does His Majesty know about this?”
“His Majesty wasn’t present of course. If he was then I know he wouldn’t have allowed it to happen.” Lowering her eyes, the last departing words of Bai Yan continues to echo beside Long Xiaoya’s ear.
She didn’t dare repeat those words again in front of her parents.
“Husband,” the mother gnashes her teeth in frustration. “The queen must be jealous of Xiaoya’s beauty, that’s why she expelled our daughter out of the palace. You must help your own daughter and not let that woman occupy the king by herself!”
Long Chang Tian’s expression grew gloomy for it doesn’t bold well for him either in front of his peers. However, he’s nevertheless the chief of the Dragon Clan, he knew better than to be bias and rash when it came to topics of importance.
“If there is no consensus from the king then do you think the queen would be so arrogant? By the way, where is Dragony, why did she not return with you?”
The tearful girl immediately grew fierce and angry in the eyes at the mention of that little fool: “She left with the queen.”
Long Chang Tian’s iris sparkled with light at the knowledge: “You mean Dragony is already by the queen’s side?”
“Hmpf!” Long Xiaoya grinds her mullers in frustration, “We’ve been blindsided by that little fool. She actually pretended to be sad and pitiful before the queen. Now not only did that woman have the pretext to expel me from the palace grounds, that mortal is also using the little fool to ruin me. Father, I’ve warned you before, now look what’s happening!”
“Enough,” the father impatiently cuts off his daughter. “It getting late. You two should clean up and get ready, we need to go greet the king at the court.”
That brought on great joy to the deceitful girl: “Father, does that mean I can continue to enter the palace?”
“Mhmm,” Long Chang Tian gives a faint nod of confirmation. “As long as the order didn’t come from the king or princess then its fine, the queen is just a human mortal without a firm foothold in this world. As long as you stay by my side then no one can touch you.” Pausing then to go over his words: “I’m afraid becoming a consort would be difficult now. However, I will definitely find a way to send you to the king’s side. Whether or not you can succeed in winning his heart will depend on your own capabilities.”
“Don’t worry Father, I will definitely have the king accept me.” Long Xiaoya puts on a happy smile.
The king back then never experienced the joy of being with a woman and doesn’t understand anything, but now, that gate has been pried wide open so he will definitely understand.
……
The palace of the king has always been heavily guarded, and out of respect for their lord and master, the chiefs of the various clans must be dismounted upon entry. Therefore, Long Xiaoya was already walking by her father’s side long before they arrived at the gates.
“Why? Why are you people not letting me inside? I am the second miss of the Dragon Clan! Based on what authority can you lowly guards stop me from entering?!” The girl was furious at being blocked while her parents were easily allowed through.
“Miss, it’s not I who is forbidding you from entering, it’s the queen who banned you for life!” One of the gatekeepers explain.
