Cultivation Goddess
Chapters 356. Enter the Palace
After a moment of silence Consort Shi finally began to think of asking Xiao Chang.
"I feel familiar with your face, do you live around here?" Concubine Shi opened the conversation. He tried to bring a familiar atmosphere between them.
"N-no, Mistress. I am from Qiong City a state capital of this empire," Xiao Chang explained.
Concubine Shi nodded. The city was no stranger to ears even though he had never visited it.
"I think the city's pretty far from here. Of course you came to bring purpose. Are you looking for your family?" ask Consort Shi.
The deg!
Xiao Chang's heart skipped a beat extremely fast upon hearing Consort Shi's question. The question is like the guess of a fortune teller who knows the content of one's heart. His arrival to the capital was indeed for the purpose as he mentioned but Xiao Chang did not want to say it now.
"I heard Princess Gu gained the victory. I am very happy and want to devote myself. I've been waiting for this day for a long time." Xiao Chang said his other goal.
'What kind of coincidence is this? Did this youngster indeed have a close relationship with the Gu Clan? I have no knowledge for this but I see honesty in his eyes.' Concubine Shi looked at Xiao Chang with a probing gaze.
"I don't have the authority to hire you but I think Yin'er will like you. Come with me!" exclaim Concubine Shi.
Xiao Chang's face was glowing with pleasure. Concubine Shi's words felt like a mouthful of water amidst her heart's thirst. This opportunity does not want to be wasted by him.
"Thank you, Madam." Xiao Chang saluted Concubine Shi.
Ever since then she had continued to call Consort Shi by the call of Madam because she was too naive and had no idea who she was dealing with.
The three of them walked into the palace. Xiao Chang walked behind Consort Shi and Yu Ruo. Even though it was late at night, the palace was still quite crowded. The residents are still awake with various activities.
There are many things to do after the war. The shift in power also shifts the appetite of its new owners.
"My daughter must be asleep tonight. I'll call you tomorrow and ask him to give you a proper job" Consort Shi said as they reached the palace.
Consort Shi then called a servant to give Xiao Chang a resting place and also dinner. The servant called Concubine Shi with a noble call. It was at this moment that he only learned that he had been dealing with Consort Shi, the mother of Princess Gu.
Xiao Chang dropped himself and knelt down. What he did was disrespectful. Before it's too late, he should apologize immediately.
"Oh, Your Majesty. Xiao Chang did not intend to be disrespectful. I really don't know if you are His Majesty Consort Shi."
"Wakeup! Don't be like this. I am just an ordinary person now. Don't humble yourself, wake up!"
Xiao Chang got up from his knees with a hand that was still saluting.
"You are a humble man. May you live a long life, Your Majesty."
"Hm." Concubine Shi nodded then turned to leave the place with a raging heart.
Yu Ruo followed him and walked over without turning his head to Xiao Chang who was looking at their departure until he was nowhere to be seen again.
"Jie'er, I feel that the young man has a close relationship with the Gu Clan. Physically he bore a resemblance to the appearance of the Gu Clan. In terms of manners and attitude I don't think it is much different from the ethics possessed by the Gu Clan."
"I think so too, Mother, but I don't know. We don't have any evidence for this."
They walked towards Fang Yin's room. The door's still open. Consorts Tang and Emperor Xi were visiting her. Not to miss Jian Heng always accompanied him every time. The two are becoming increasingly inseparable.
"Good night, Your Majesty the Emperor. Good night Your Majesty Consort Tang." greet Consorts Shi and Yu Ruo greet as they arrive at Fang Yin's room.
"Good night, Your Majesty. Let's sit down." Consort Tang shifted her place to make room for Consort Shi and her mother.
Consort Tang's state recovered faster because she had better abilities than him in pure soul control. His body can do the activity as before. In contrast to Fang Yin who still needed quite a long time to be able to restore his entire ability.
Actually Consort Shi wanted to tell her meeting with Xiao Chang to Fang Yin, considering Consort Tang and Emperor Xi were there, she chose to hold herself back.
The night is late. Concubine Tang and the others left Fang Yin and her mother to rest.
Consort Shi drove them to the front door and immediately closed and locked them from the inside. He wanted to immediately tell about his meeting with Xiao Chang.
Fang Yin looked towards his mother with a look of wonder. He saw his mother's face so agitated earlier. His hastily closing the door added to his curiosity.
"Mom, what are you really thinking. I saw that mom was nervous. Is there something you're hiding from me?" fang Yin asked as Consort Shi had sat down beside her.
"Mother is not keeping anything secret. It's just that I'm waiting for the right time to tell you."
Fang Yin looked at Concubine Shi with an incomprehensible gaze. He was waiting for further explanation from his mother.
"While on the way back to the palace, mother met a young man who was very similar to Tian Feng. I thought that he was also a member of the Gu Clan who was separated from his family. The young man confessed that he was from Qiong City."
The news brought by Concubine Shi left Fang Yin agape. Maybe his mother's opinion was correct. Soon he replied and hoped it was not too late.
"I have to ask the bodyguard to pick her up." Fang Yin moved from his seat.
Concubine Shi held Fang Yin's hand to prevent it. "I've brought him into the palace. Be calm! Tomorrow I'll bring him here, he's looking for a job."
Fang Yin nodded.
That night Fang Yin could not sleep well and kept thinking about her mother's words. His heart was agitated at the thought of the mystery of who the young man brought by his mother was.
Morning, the morning,
Concubine Shi was already absent from her bed when Fang Yin woke up. A couple of ladies-in-waiting came to help her take a shower and get ready. Unlike the ordinary days, Fang Yin wanted to quickly finish today.
The food was on the table when he returned to his room. Not long after, his mother came with a neat condition.
They both enjoyed breakfast before doing any other activities.
"Mother," call Fang Yin.
"Hm."
"My body feels sore for a few days staying in the room without doing anything. This is not really me."
"Take your food and don't talk much, Yin'er. Soon there will be a few guests. You have to respect whoever that guest is. Understood?"
Consort Shi's wise words made Fang Yin understand. Both of them ate their food until they finished.
A person was standing before the door of Fang Yin's room waiting for the order to be welcomed in.
