OFFERING CONCUBINES
EPISODE 158 HAS NOT BEEN THANKFUL

Heavy snowfall fell most of the night, the city of king Yubei lay in thick white snow almost a book of feet.

This morning, still in the cold weather carried by the wind, making people reluctant to come out of their homes.

The spacious Weiyan Palace was also quieter than usual, only the guard soldiers seemed to be passing by, they seemed to be changing sif. Some busy waiters also walked in haste, carrying luggage in their hands, either trays or baskets.

Zhao Juren stood on the edge of an artificial lake above the deserted garden of shenhua.

His hard face did not flicker on the surface of the lake which looked like glass shards.

The peach and meihua trees were filled with silvery snow that clung like cotton. It was still morning, but he was eager to take a walk in this park even though the atmosphere was still cold, after snowfall all night.

Now, Zhao Juren had been living in the Weiyan palace environment, due to the rule a prince had to live in the palace environment.

His Majesty insisted that Zhao Juren stay in a palace building reserved for princes.

The building is right near Shenhua Park, under the name Wangzi palace.

Zhao Juren only wanted to honor the request of the king who had tried to persuade him, whereas Zhao Juren had no interest in staying around the main hall of the palace.

He would rather be in his own home.

His mind was twisting all the old memories that were as if they were dark clouds in his memory. About his childhood, about his love story, about his life so gray.

He did not know, the person who had always been the place to prostrate in fear in his teenage years, who only dared to look at him with the tip of his eyes was his biological father, His Majesty king Yan Houcun.

A wise king who always admired him, even though he was so hard and difficult in the last.

He was more confused, when he knew the truth, the queen mother who loved him even though always in about him secretly it was his birth mother. He followed the person he called the aunt, obeying her sometimes but unable to lose his respect for the woman even though he made a crime that was mostly within Zhao Juren's lore.

Even to avoid Suri's mother sometimes he went for days around Yanzhi, checking the borders, coming to the countries out there, only to turn a blind eye to what the queen mother did.

The fact that he was the king's son, even made him even more confused about his place and existence.

His Highness Yan Yue, his older brother, the good-natured king even turned a blind eye to all of his mother's crimes, for his sake.

Zhao Juren should have been responsible for all the sins and mistakes of her mother.

But, His Majesty loosened his feelings and still considered him a half-brother worthy of receiving a place and a right that he thought was something Zhao Juren deserved.

Brother as good as that, almost ended up at the end of the mother's dagger, this made Zhao Juren feel claustrophobic and more sinful.

In fact, he was more comfortable if His Holiness punished him and threw him in a dark basement with his mother, which made much more sense than seeing his mother in a cage in a monastery, while he sat as a pangera and acted as the right hand of the king.

Who deserves to be defended and who deserves to be betrayed, Zhao Juren always felt himself standing in the wrong place and time.

"Good morning Prince Juren..." Someone surprised. The warm voice was like a wave that he deeply missed.

Zhao Juren turned around, and found Xiao Yi standing behind her with a thick red coat. In his hand he held a golden and red bamboo flute with a sutra-strap as red as his robe. At the end of the rope hung a carved jade that was covered in a yellow gold.

"The Empress..." Zhao Juren immediately bowed awkwardly, her chest always rumbling incoherently when she met Xiao Yi's gaze.

No matter what charm this woman had, even though she was two-bodied, she was still as graceful and attractive as ever.

Perhaps true, the goodness and wisdom of one's heart will radiate from within him. Under no circumstances will she always look beautiful if her heart is kind.

"There is no need to be too formal, Your Highness the prince..."Xiao Yi smiled at Zhao Juren, it felt too strange when Zhao Juren behaved so respectfully towards him.

Not only did Zhao Juren but of all the people who treated her so drastically made Xiao Yi feel uncomfortable, but that was the rule that had to be obeyed within this palace, inevitably now she was a queen consort of the king, the queen of the great kingdom of Yanzhi.

"Please don't call me prince, Your Majesty the empress can call me Juren."Pinta Zhao Juren and bowed her body once more.

"If I could ask for the same thing, it would feel like being called Her Majesty the empress made me a little big-headed." Xiao Yi chuckled.

Zhao Juren was stunned, completely stunned, the first time she saw Xiao Yi laughing at her, her white teeth lined up neatly poking out like a row of pretty fences. Her red lips were perfectly attracted, she actually laughed at Zhao Juren for the first time.

"Do I bother you?" xiao Yi asked as he threw his gaze at the lake that was glittering overwritten by the morning sunlight, which appeared on the eastern horizon lazily, trying to pierce through the fog of the remaining snowfall.

"Of course not."Zhao Juren replied in a misguided manner.

"I was just passing by, taking a morning walk around the park, pregnant women said the healer, it's great to take a walk in the morning. But, seeing you being here this early, I meant to say hello."Xiao Yi gave an excuse, dismissing the bad taste of meeting Zhao Juren this early, alone. While Chu Cu and a few bodyguards were standing not far from them, at the end of the bridge, waiting there.

"But the air is so cold.it is not good Your Majesty the empress is too long outside." Zhao Juren said, even though the statement did not match his feeling of being happy could come face to face with Xiao Yi.

The true feeling was inappropriate but he kept it deep in the corner of his heart. Greed is kept for itself.

"I feel guilty for not being able to thank you..." Suddenly Xiao Yi's voice broke silent, he turned around and faced Zhao Juren, looking into his eyes directly like a friend.

"Thank you for what?" Zhao Juren stared back at the eyes that sparkled as beautiful as that brilliance.

"For all the things you have done for me..."
