OFFERING CONCUBINES
EPISODE 22 TRAVELS OUTSIDE THE PALACE

Almost overnight, Xiao Yi could not sleep. Even if his eyes closed, the anxiety about what happened tomorrow made him wake up again. Shown concubine Yuan who was trembling before His Majesty. He felt guilty for his friend.

Early in the morning, Chu Cu had already entered the room of his master. Her cold fingers gently touched her employer's shoulder.

"Mistress.It's almost morning," called Chu Cu in a soft voice.

Xiao Yi squirmed and opened his eyes reluctantly. Approaching the morning, he felt comfortable infiltrating his warm thick blanket.

"In a moment, Chu Cu. I'm still sleepy"

"Wakeup, madam. The palanquin sent by Eunuch Chen had already arrived" Chu Cu swayed his master's arm slightly, as he saw the mistress's eyes about to be closed again.

The moment Xiao Yi's heavy head became as light as cotton, quickly on the sibling of the blanket that wrapped around his body and sat down with an annoyed face.

"Does punishing people have to be this early?" mumbled Xiao Yi with eyes that were squeaking seriously. Then she opened her eyes, forcing those beautiful eyes to open perfectly.

Xiao Yi tidied his long, messy hair, the smooth face blushing in a sour look.

He did not hesitate to receive any punishment from His Majesty, instead he was more afraid if His Majesty locked him in a room, just alone with the King who according to Xiao Yi, he was afraid, sometimes it is strange and unable to control itself.

Being hugged by His Highness Yan Yue was more frightening than being whipped with a whip.

What made her restless was the fate of concubine Yuan. The good girl must have cried all night out of fear.

With all his reluctance Xiao Yi got down from his bed and without saying much followed Chu Cu into the bath room.

It was not long before he had returned with a freshly fit body after getting into the warm bath that Chu Cu had prepared early in the morning.

Xiao Yi pecked his face in front of the mirror, he wore the clothes and jewelry delivered by His Majesty Yan Yue in a wooden box through Chen's eunuch last night.

The robe he wore was pastel yellow with tawny brown hand folds without the pattern of simple ordinary cotton cloth even impressed cheap.

Xiao yi combed Xiao Yi's hair, pulling some parts up and rolling them into a spool and inserting them with a lotus motif that was given by His Highness Yan Yue the night they visited Sunyen temple, a few weeks ago.

"I chose another konde puncture." Xiao Yi's annoyance made him object to wearing the noble's gift.

"Mrs should wear this, it is the message that Eunuch Chen delivered from His Majesty." Chu Cu said quickly.

Xiao Yi frowned in displeasure, but he stuck his hand out into the jewel box on his mirror.

The rest of her long hair was tied by Chu cu using a pastel yellow ribbon string that was the same color as her dress.

For a moment Xiao Yi took a close look at her appearance in front of the mirror, her makeup was similar to that of the tea-selling girl at the Tiancha tavern in Youwu city. Xiao Yi smiled amusedly but he was happy with his new appearance.

Not even a drink of wine, Xiao Yi was already inside the palanquin, accompanied by Chu Cu's anxious gaze which was once again not allowed to follow his master.

The small entourage consisted of 4 stretcher-bearers, two guardians of Jian jie's friends who were usually beside the king in the clothes of ordinary people and a young eunuch who was subordinate to Chen's eunuch.

The journey of the party penetrated through the cold and slightly foggy morning, somewhat hastily as if avoiding the inhabitants of the palace were aware of their presence, continuing to move towards the direction of the southern gate of the city.

They had only met a few passing soldiers and bodyguards, probably in a change of guard.

At the gate of the city was Kasim chen, waiting.

He spoke briefly with one of the gatekeepers then said a few things to the guards who picked up Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi sat impatiently inside the palanquin, having his evil mind to escape if there was a good chance while outside the palace surroundings.

To commit that crime, of course, endangers his family. There was no need for His Majesty to do so, but governor Qian Lie would do it himself.

"Mrs, come down..." Eunuch Chen's voice resuscitated Xiao Yi's daydream.

Xiao Yi descended, on the edge of a small post outside the palace gate. There were three horses of shiny brown color.

"Please get on the horse, madam.Cun's bodyguard and Xiu's bodyguard will take you to the destination" continued eunuch Chen.

Xiao Yi's eyes swept over the place like they were looking for something,

"Where's Concubine Yuan?" xiao Yi asked Eunuch Chen.

"He hasn't arrived yet?"he asked again when he saw the face of eunuch chen shriveled like he was confused.

"Hasn't he punished with me?"

"Maybe Madam Yuan's concubine is in law separately" replied eunuch Chen origin.

Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows still not satisfied with Eunuch Chen's reply. But he hoped inwardly that concubine Yuan's punishment would not be too heavily awarded. The poor girl, just hearing the word punishment, was already scared to death. Especially if it is heavily legal.

Silently in Xiao Yi's heart promised, he would attempt to beg for forgiveness for Yuan's concubine if he met His Majesty Yan Yue today.

"It was soon that the madam departed, before the day became too late" Eunuch Chen untied the horse from the small postpost.

Xiao Yi jumped on his horse, fortunately this dress that His Majesty sent, the inside of his loose subordinate was a pair of trousers on foot so it was not difficult to ride a horse.

A bodyguard pulled his horse first, followed by Xiao Yi and the other bodyguards behind the girl.

Not long after, they arrived in the middle of the city settlement which began to be crowded by people passing by. The city of Yubei is always crowded and so lively even in the morning like this.

Xiao Yi's smile burst out, how pleasant it was to breathe the fresh and comfortable air of this city.

Guards in front signalled to stop in front of a diner, which seemed to have just opened.

"Madam, we'll have breakfast here, before continuing on our way" Guard Cun said as he nodded his head respectfully.

Xiao Yi welcomed the idea with a carefree face, he had long not tasted the cuisine outside the palace, surely it must be more delicious and rich in taste compared to the food served by the palace kitchen.

Cun's bodyguards brought Xiao Yi into the store. Having just stepped through the door, someone had pulled his hand making his body float and almost strayed.

That burly hand swiftly hugged his waist.

"It turns out your body is lighter than cotton, a concubine should not be this straight..."
