The Phoenix Arises Chapter 28.1

Chapter 28 . 1: Banquet

Si Yun Han’s eyes turned cold and he gathered his thoughts before giving a wave of his hand .

“I refuse to meet . ”

“What? The moment you know that she’s alive, and you’re immediately regretting it?”

Si Yun Han’s voice had just dropped off when a sinister laugh quickly sounded .

Upon seeing Duanmu Qing, Si Yun Han’s eyes instantly flashed with a look of disgust .

“Doesn’t Heir Qing think that it’s rather rude for her to come barging into a man’s backyard at all?”

A swelling laugh spilled out from Duanmu Qing’s mouth as walked over slowly to come before Si Yun Han, before reaching her hand out to hold him by his chin .

“So what if I’m rude? Even if the Heir here were to bed you right now, there isn’t much that I will be criticised for . ”

“Heir Qing, please show yourself some self respect . ”

Si Yun Han turned his head away to avoid Duanmu Qing’s hand .

“Self respect?” Looking at Si Yun Han whose face was filled with contempt, Duanmu Qing gave a scornful laugh . “Do I need to be self respecting talking to my husband to be?”

The Imperial Edict bestowing the marriage upon them has been decreed, and he was here still talking about self respect?

Upon hearing that, Si Yun Han’s eyes turned dreary and his face ashen .

Seeing the helpless forlorn look on Si Yun Han’s face, Duanmu Qing’s face creased up with displeasure .

“What kind of an expression is that? Are you trying to curse me?”
She has not died, so he had better not look like he was mourning for her .

Si Yun Han’s brows knitted up tightly and he said rather angrily: “Heir Qing is being too harsh with her words . If there is nothing else, you should leave . Yun Han would like to rest . ”

Si Yun Han bowed slightly as he spoke, and immediately turned around to retreat back into his room .

“Go get yourself prepared . Tonight you shall accompany me to the banquet . ”

Seeing that Si Yun Han was going to leave, Duanmu Qing moved in a flash to stand before him, blocking his way forward .

Si Yun Han halted in his steps and raised his eyes to look at Duanmu Qing puzzledly .

“Doesn’t Heir Qing already have two concubines? Why would you need my accompaniment?”

They were still not yet wed, so by right, she should be bringing her concubines to attend the banquet instead .

The corners of Duanmu Qing’s mouth curled up with an evil smile as she leaned in close to his ear to say, pausing between each and every word: “Because I want to see her face when she comes to realize that you are now with me . ”

Si Yun Han’s body stiffened for a moment, and it was a good while before he finally said grudgingly .

“I’ll accompany you . ”

“Get yourself well prepared . I will come pick you up tonight . ”

Duanmu Qing then laughed out loudly, before she turned to walk away .

Si Yun Han watched Duanmu Qing’s departing back and his eyes flashed with a glint .

He bemoaned the fact that he was going to miss that opportunity just like that . He decided that he must fight for his only chance .

Night, as lanterns were just lit up .

The Vermillion Bird Kingdom Imperial Palace was not like before on this night, where every corner of the Grand Palace was illuminated by the bright light of lanterns, and the Phoenix Ceremonial Palace that was meant for hosting banquets was absolutely bustling, a hive of activity inside .

Inside the Phoenix Ceremonial Palace, relatives of the Imperial Family, people with powerful connections and the court officials were all arriving in turn .

“The Eldest Prince arrives, Marquis An Ping arrives, Heir Lan arrives, Princess Jia Hui arrives… . . ”

The palace attendants at the Phoenix Ceremonial Palace announced in a loud voice .

As the voices raised heralding the arrival of guests fell, a young couple then appeared at the Phoenix Ceremonial Palace .
