OFFERING CONCUBINES
EPISODE 33 IS REUNITED

Spring in Yubei city. This spring, it's so vibrant and colorful. In every corner of the city the flowers began to bloom showing their beauty. Spring also repels snow so quickly, the cold soon passes, the air temperature crawls up giving so pleasant warmth.

White and pink Ying hua flowers bloomed on the right left of the street and in front of the houses of the citizens, along the city of Yubei.

Vibrant colors fill every corner with a variety of flowers.

The city becomes crowded day and night, filled with various events from the attractions of art performances to martial arts, typical snacks of spring can be found in every place easily, the spring festival is always held festively to welcome the most beautiful season every year.

In Shenhua Park, Weiyan Palace resembles a heavenly court of beauty.

Peach trees are in perfect bloom, like a sea of pink floating in the air and the meihua flowers are so red, burning defying all the other colors of the various flowers blooming together there.

The lake in the middle of the river, the water was so clear and warm, on it the lotus flowers were as bright as an angel's dress.

In the harem palace is no less busy, the concubines and palace ladies are getting ready to celebrate with two special festivals organized by the harem palace namely, the Chushi festival and the Yishu festival.

At the Chushi festival, all concubines can become participants, making special dishes for the king, which means as a do'a and hope to their husbands in order to stay healthy, live long and prosperous, to lead the country wisely and strongly.

This important event was held in the hall of Qing Ren, the harem palace.

And on the second day, the Yishu festival, where the concubines showed their artistic talents, to entertain His Holiness and at this event, was attended by the important Weiyan court. It is held in Shenhua Park just one night before the peak night of the spring festival.

The biggest festival in Yubei is the lantern festival, so for a full week the city of Yubei is filled with lanterns of various shades and shapes, dominated by bright red and gold paintings.

At the peak of this festival, attended by King Yanzhi along with all members of the royal family including his concubines along with the higher-ups of the kingdom of Yanzhi to the nobles, governors and clan leaders who were part of the Yanzhi kingdom.

Xiao Yi stood on the bridge that stood high-handed over the shenhua river lake.

The delicate pink silk that very gently wrapped her slender body seemed to be fluttering in the afternoon wind, soon the Chushi Festival will begin.

Since the morning the concubines were busy with their respective cook teams, the palace chefs and the chosen lady-in-waiting accompanied these concubines.

In fact, these concubines were precisely commandos, and appeared at the presentation like a face seeker in front of the king. The ones who work hard are the cooks and waiters.

They were more worried about what dresses and jewelry they would wear when they appeared in front of the king.

If the other concubines seemed so busy, it was not the case with Xiao Yi.

She was not involved in the show because concubine Mei really did not like it.

Using her powers entrusted by the queen mother to lead the Chushi festival, Consort Mei forbade Xiao Yi as the new concubine to participate as a participant, as according to concubine Mei, Xiao Yi had never attended the event.

Xiao Yi was allowed to attend the event, so that he could learn how to behave as a participant at the chushi festival the following year.

But, anyone in the harem palace knew very well, the main reason Xiao Yi should not join was, due to the fear of concubine Mei that the talent and abilities of the new concubine would surpass her. He was never ready if His Majesty returned to devote more attention to concubine Yi.

"Madam, in a moment the event starts, we better hurry to Qing Ren's hall." Chu Cu rebuked his master who had just daydreamed.

The name of the meeting hall of the harem palace, at first glance, resembled the name of the man who a few nights ago was certainly no longer part of his life, Qian Ren.

Hearing Chu Cu call it, made his heart suddenly on a sad ledge.

Qian Ren's heartbreaking and resigned face left little guilt, but this big decision was the best for everyone.

Xiao Yi was heartbroken, of course he was heartbroken, because the overflowing fond memories with that man were the most powerful weapons to make him feel the pain of loss.

But, being back strong, because remembering there is someone hurt deeper than him in terms of loss makes him immediately better.

"In a moment, Chu Cu"

"But madam, it's not good if the others come first from us"

"What are you worried about, Chu Cu. We are not important people and are good enough to see everyone. Not coming either, I don't think it's a big deal"

"But, ma'am..it is impolite that the queen mother would arrive earlier than us, this could cause the mistress to become even more disliked in this palace."

"Since I first entered the harem palace, no one has liked me, so it's nothing new to me to be away from by many people"

Xiao Yi as if strengthening himself, the jealousy of many people towards him was rooted in this palace, like an old banyan root. Plunging it into the flesh.

And now it seems even His Majesty seems to have become indifferent to him as well.

Sometimes Xiao Yi thought, did Your Majesty's kiss that night make him so embarrassed to meet Xiao Yi? or is His Majesty so sorry for doing so?

"I still want to enjoy this comfortable air, in a moment"

"Mrs..." Chu Cu sounded so nervous, this servant did like to worry about everything.

"Yes, Chu Cu.Patience a little, I am not one of the participants at the event so don't have to hurry"

Xiao Yi replied indifferently, without turning his head at Chu Cu in the slightest.

"Mrs, sorry to bother you..." Another voice that was so heavy and resolute surprised Xiao Yi forced him to turn around.

A man with thick eyebrows that were sharp as the twists of a sword with eyes that were pitch-black beyond black jade, looked at him with a line of thin smiles and shock that he could not hide, for an unexpected reunion.

The brocade robe was a truly beautiful deep blue and purple, its collar was high to below the ears, so stiff yet elegant.

His body displayed strength and elegance at the same time.

She was so charming and shining under the golden afternoon sky.

"Mr Zhao?" Xiao Yi was amazed.

"Zhao Juren salutes the madam." Master Zhao bowed his body slightly with eyes that stared low at the tip of Xiao Yi's feet, the same unnerved lightning flashed in the eyes that had a gaze as sharp as that eagle.
