The Divine Physician’s Overbearing Wife

“Maiden Feng, no worries, you can count on me. Let’s go, I bring you to the palace to meet Her Highness, Princess Qingjiu now!” General Murong’s heart was racing as he lifted his blushing face.

‘She must learn the skill as soon as possible so Haitian Kingdom could get these spirit herbs. Moreover, even if this maiden mastered the spirit beasts taming skill, she is only capable of taming some low tier spirit beasts, similar to Princess Qingjiu, and could hardly affect the battle between the two kingdoms.’

That was the reason Haitian Kingdom agreed to the deal.

Feng Ruqing’s face darkened. In fact, the deal was just an excuse for her to step into Haitian Kingdom.

However, Feng Ruqing must get into the palace! The state preceptor was waiting for her to take him home!

***

In the palace.

A sea of flowers came into full bloom

From afar, Feng Ruqing saw a young lady, in a snowy white gauze dress, standing among the flowers.

The young lady had a sweet, glittery smile on her lips. Countless butterflies could be seen dancing around her.

It seemed that Qingjiu too had seen Feng Ruqing who was standing not far away. She stopped in her tracks, the corner of her lips slightly lifted.

“General Murong, I guess this is the maiden—Maiden Feng that you have told me about just now. You may retreat now. I need to talk to Maiden Feng.”

General Murong did a fist and palm salute and walked out silently.

Then, Qingjiu beckoned the servants to leave.

Currently, Feng Ruqing and Qingjiu were the only two persons left in the back garden.

“General Murong told me that Maiden Feng is an exquisite beauty. Well, he is right. Previously, I have always thought that I was the prettiest lady in this realm. It seems that I was overly confident back then.” Qingjiu smiled faintly.

Feng Ruqing smiled faintly. Her eyes locked on Qingjiu who was standing not far away.

“Since you have asked them to leave, I guess you have something to tell me alone?”

Qingjiu plucked a lily. A pure smile plastered on her face, as pure as the lily in her hand. She looked as pure as an untainted first love.

“Since General Murong has brought Maiden Feng here, you might have met the spoiled brat. I could pass down the spirit beasts taming skill to you. However, I want you to marry Murong Yang.” Qingjiu smiled.

“Murong Yang? You mean the redhead?” Feng Ruqing looked at Qingjiu in bewilderment.

“Redhead?” Princess Qingjiu burst out laughing.

“This name fits him well. Murong Yang is a lecher. He will come for you even if you don’t seduce him. Maiden Feng, about spirit beasts taming skill… if I refuse to pass it down to you, my father would never force me to do so.”

Under the brilliant sun, Qingjiu’s smile eventually faded. She threw away the lily in her hand and turned her head slowly to look at Feng Ruqing.

“If you want me to be your master and pass down the spirit beasts taming skill to you, you must marry Murong Yang.”

“What if I refuse to do so?” The azure snake stuck its head out, but Feng Ruqing quickly pressed it down. Then, she stared at Princess Qingjiu, smiling.

“Maiden Feng, you really think the people out there are all fools? The imperial jade seal is extremely important. Why did the emperor of Tianyue Kingdom give it to you? I heard General Murong said that you have two kids. Perhaps, the emperor is the father of your children.”

Feng Ruqing was dumbfounded.

“The eldest prince of Tianyue Kingdom is truly ruthless. He would not have allowed your son to live. You may be aware that there is only a princess and no other prince beside the eldest prince. Since you have to live in constant fear with an old coot, why don’t you marry a young man—Murong Yang?”
