OFFERING CONCUBINES
EPISODE 25 SWEET PUNISHMENT
Xiao Yi looked at His Eminence Yan Yue in confusion.
How can the punishment given is to buy him honey sweets that are his favorite?
His Majesty approached the honey confectioner seller and asked him to wrap all the honey candies that were formed in various shapes from the shape of flowers to the cobwebs.
The sweets seller was astonished with a look of disbelief, no matter what his dream was last night, he had just opened and was about to hang his wares, suddenly there was a young master early in the morning buying all his wares.
With sumringah, he gathered all the shiny maroon honey sweets and put it in a basket of rattan wicker.
The Jian Guards swiftly took out a few coins from the pouch on his waist and handed them to the sweets seller who was feeling lucky.
"Thank you, sir.thank you." The sweet seller bowed his body several times cheerfully.
His Majesty Yan Yue handed the basket of honey sweets to Xiao Yi.
"It's too much Your Highness.eh sir..eh..." Xiao Yi accepted the candy basket in confusion.
"you have to spend it..." His Majesty nonchalantly walked back. Xiao Yi followed him from behind in a hurry, so as not to be left behind by His Majesty's long steps.
Xiao Yi's eyes occasionally glanced at his sweet basket, the shiny color of the honey sweets actually tempted him to taste it immediately, but it was impossible to do so.
She was now a concubine of the king instead of the little girl who liked to surround the market of Youwu town like she used to be.
He hugged the basket while gulping at his throat. A small smile at the corner of his lips, he was willing to be punished every day if His Majesty gave him this kind of punishment.
His Majesty stopped his steps in front of a teahouse and then entered there greeted a distended tea shop owner with a short neck and witty round eyes. The shopkeeper nodded his face showing respect, in an imperceptible style, as if he knew His Majesty well.
Jian seemed to whisper something to the owner of the teahouse, the owner of the teahouse was bearded, then said some things in a very small volume of sound.
Jian's face turned pias, then immediately whispered something to His Highness Yan Yue who was standing not far from the shop door.
His Majesty Yan Yue's face also suddenly turned red, it seemed like someone was teasing him. The face showed anger. His jaw hardened and looked at Jian with anger held in place.
"Where is he now?" ask His Majesty furiously.
"The land is in an empty house on the edge of the city" Jian replied softly.
"We're going there now, I have to interrogate him myself!" His Majesty turned to the bodyguards .
"Prepare the horses, we're leaving now!" His Majesty gave the order to Cun's bodyguards standing behind him.
Cun's bodyguard nodded and immediately left following two of his friend's bodyguards who were standing outside the shop.
"Maxing..." He turned to Xiao Yi, with an impatient look.
Xiao Yi looked up his chin, looked at His Highness Yan Yue, waiting for the next sentence from His Majesty.
"Let's stay a while in this teahouse, I'll come back later to pick you up" his eyes squinted in a commanding tone.
Xiao Yi nodded obediently without refuting.
"Serve this young lady while I'm away" His Majesty pointed his face at the tavern owner.
"Okay sir." replied the shopkeeper, bowing.
His Highness Yan Yue walked towards the door of the bustling tavern, following the questioning gaze of Xiao Yi from where she stood.
"Chenxing.." Suddenly His Majesty turned around.
"Remember, don't go anywhere! I won't be long!" Those blackish-brown eyes flashed sharply. As if making sure Xiao Yi obeyed his words.
Xiao Yi simply nodded while hugging his sweet basket.
Then with long strides His Highness Yan Yue in following Jian's bodyguards left the tavern.
"Miss..." The owner of the cute-looking tavern approached Xiao Yi.
"Let me take Miss to the table..." The shopkeeper bowed allowing Xiao Yi to follow him.
Xiao Yi complied, trailing the tavern owner from behind.
The owner of the store showed a table in a corner that was quite separate from the other tables. And let Xiao Yi occupy it.
"Miss, I briefly asked the waiter to deliver tea and snacks for the lady. If anything is needed by the lady, just call me"
The owner of the tavern retreated a few steps and left Xiao Yi at the table itself.
Xiao Yi looked around with a bright face, the teahouse began to bustle with visitors. Some tables are filled and the atmosphere has begun to be lively with chatter and occasional laughter from several tables.
Where did His Highness Yan Yue go, Xiao Yi really did not bother, today her heart was flowery with pleasure.
Getting out of the palace and enjoying the atmosphere of a city like this was truly something that Xiao Yi had never thought of since he had entered the royal palace.
He had once thought, perhaps forever confined within the royal palace and languishing in that desolate Xingwu guesthouse.
But, now that he doubted those thoughts, in these few two months he had twice gone out of the palace. One time to the temple of Sunyen and another time is now.
Right now he just had to wait for the return of His Majesty from his sudden affairs. He could ask again about the intention of His Majesty bringing himself out of the palace by disguising himself like this.
Xiao Yi picked up the honey candied bunny head print with cute arched ears from a bamboo woven basket on his desk and licked it with a satisfied face.
He recalled the promise Chu Cu would bring him a lot of honey sweets if they had reached the king's palace.
But, you can imagine the plain round eyes of his servant will buy wonder if when he came home later brought a basket full of honey sweets.
"Look at Chu Cu, I brought you honey sweets. Just swallow your promise first, who wants to bring me a lot of honey sweets. Because I got it first!"
He would trace his waist arrogantly in front of that servant, he could imagine Chu Cu's astonished look.
He would not say quickly how he could
get all that honey sweets. Chu Cu must be very curious as always.
Xiao Yi gave a small smile, accompanied by a surprised glance of a young male servant who delivered a pot of tea and a plate of radish cake or known as tau chai cake in Yubei.
This radish cake is very famous in this shop as a snack to accompany tea. The taste of salty savory taste is very suitable in served with hot tea when the air is cold. To warm the body.
"Please enjoy the lady"
"Thank you..."
The servant immediately left Xiao Yi who was still engrossed in enjoying the honey sweets in his hand. Enjoying the sweet punishment of His Highness Yan Yue.
