Fire Phoenix Chapter 54

Huo Liuyun made arrangements at the imperial palace in the Can Kingdom, and Yun Canglan was residing in the luxurious Siyuan Palace.

Siyuan Palace was the most exquisite of the palaces in the Can Kingdom. There were antiques everywhere, the walls and pillars boasted of bright colored glaze, embedded with various precious coral. Luminous pearls were inlaid throughout the walls replacing candles, and the curtains were made of expensive snow silk.

Yun Canglan thought Huo Liuyun wanted to ingratiate himself with her or flaunt his wealth. Material wealth didn't matter at all though and even her servants, Yun Qin and Yun Qi, looked down on it.

"The quality of this coral is poor. Mistress, the coral you gave me last time was far superior to this." Yun Qi remarked.

"Oh, Mistress, this curtain is very rough. Maybe I could tear it down and use it to wipe your feet with?" Yun Qin noted.

"Yun Qin, how insensitive of you! Do you want to hurt the Mistress's feet? She uses only the golden silk* to wipe her feet. Snow silk is far too inferior and should only be used by the likes of you or me."

(*TN: Fabric made by golden silk is much softer and more expensive than that of snow silk.)

"Mistress, this is all garbage! If Yun Xiang were to see this, he would scold me. I think we should completely replace these."

"I agree with Yun Qin. What if you are allergic to these? Even you are not allergic; you might end up with a rash, and then he would beat us!"

Yun Canglan was way too distracted to listen to their words. She pounded the table, "We need to keep a low profile, understood? Even though I'm rich, I don't like to brag. Kidnappers are prone to snatch you two. Yun Qin put this garbage outside and burn it. Yun Qi, tell Huo Liuyun that we will need to redecorate the palace."

Yun Qin and Yun Qi rolled their eyes but kept quiet.

They thought that Yun Canglan was not able to keep a low profile. The day she kept a low profile would be the day pigs flew through the sky.

News traveled fast in an imperial palace, and it only took a day for the entire palace to learn about the Crown Prince's arrival with a beautiful lady. The Crown Prince had not taken a new wife yet, and people wondered if he was finally over his feelings for Yun Canglan and ready to remarry. The Crown Prince's concubines were no exception and worried this stranger might be a threat.

"Mistress." Yun Qin chatted casually, "Lady Ling and Huo Liuyun's other concubines were headed this way." Yun Canglan's identity would be known if Yun Qin and Yun Qi were not dressed as female servants. To protect Yun Canglan, they were still dressed as female servants.

Yun Canglan was sexy and charming in red. Her beautiful face and arragant temperament made her more attractive. Her behavior though was not.

She leaned back with her feet on the table, looking like a bully to Yun Qin and Yun Qi.

Yun Qin and Yun Qi were used to Yun Canglan's behavior. After all, Yun Canglan was raised like a boy. She teased beautiful boys and girls at three and went to brothels when she was five. When she was six, she created havoc at a casino and even taunted Yan Cangyue, the third prince of the Chi Kingdom. Everyone in the

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex. To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him. "As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses." Click to download MoboReader APP

Can Kingdom thought Yun Canglan was an idiot, only good at eating, drinking, gambling and frequenting brothels and utterly ignorant of lyre-playing, chess, calligraphy, and painting.

Yun Qin and Yun Qi knew Yun Canglan had a purpose and was pretending; otherwise Huo Liuyun would have feared the General's House and destroyed it.

Yun Canglan popped a piece of cake into her mouth, giving her a lisp when she spoke, "I knew they would. Come, Yun Qi, let's dress me up."

Yun Qi rolled his eyes while flattering her, "Mistress, you are the most beautiful lady in the world. You could wear beggar's clothes, and you would prettier than those flies."

Yun Canglan laughed loudly and then said, "Yun Qi, when did you learn such language? I like it!"

Yun Qi was confused about what she meant.

Yun Canglan smiling said, "You are saying Huo Liuyun is shit. Hahaha. Yun Qi, you are so clever!"

Yun Qi and Yun Qin stared blankly.

Yun Qi hadn't meant that at all. Yun Canglan was overthinking.

There were three ladies in the world recognized as the most beautiful, but in Yun Qi and Yun Qin's eyes, Yun Canglan was much more beautiful than those three.

"Let's go meet this Lady Ling." Yun Canglan stood to leave, even though Yun Qi hadn't tied back her hair, and Yun Qin hadn't helped her change clothes.

The simple red dress and hair loose made her stand out from the other ladies.

Yun Qi and Yun Qin watched Yun Canglan walking out and were upset.

'You say 'Dress me up', but we only combed your hair!' They thought.

A eunuch announced, "Lady Ling is here!" as a group of ladies headed to the main hall.

Yun Canglan sat in the host chair playing with her nails. Yun Qin and Yun Qi stood behind the seat, like two loyal servant girls.

Lady Ling walked in, followed by ten or more ladies. When they saw the lady sitting in the chair, they were pea green with envy.

The lady sitting had a beauty that would make wild geese alight and fish dive down for shame.

Wu Yunling was fearful the Crown Prince would marry this lady.

She planned to get rid of this lady as soon as she saw her. Otherwise, the Crown Prince was sure to be seduced by her. "How dare you not salute me!" Wu Yunling screamed.

Yun Canglan continued to play with her nails, ignoring Wu Yunling.

Yun Qi was great at giving a good manicure. Yun Canglan thought, satisfied with how her nails looked. 'Maybe Yun Qi can remain my servant girl always.'

Wu Yunling was furious, "Bitch! How dare you ignore me! Seize her! Cut her head off!"

Yun Canglan finally looked and scornfully remarked, "This dog is very noisy. Huo Liuyun has not trained her at all!"

Yun Qi volunteered, "Mistress, please, let me show you how to train a dog properly."

"She called me 'Bitch', and I don't like that. Yun Qi, show her what a bitch is!" Yun Canglan said nonchalantly.

Yun Qi was angry that this dog had called Yun Canglan a 'Bitch' and had a murderous look in his eyes as he walked up to Wu Yunling.

"What...what are you doing?" Wu Yunling stuttered a bit, trembling as Yun Qi came closer.

"Are you stupid and deaf? The Mistress wants to see a dog training session." Yun Qi said brutally, looking like a demon.
