OFFERING CONCUBINES
EPISODE 39 SUDDENLY FEELS TIRED

Xiao Yi then separated the three dishes he had chosen, into a corner of the table.

"There are three dishes that really represent this Chushi theme" he said as he held up a porcelain bowl belonging to Consort Nuo.

"Concubine Nuo has made a very good dish despite using eight main ingredients, but the taste makes a unique unit. There are two black mushrooms and furnace mushrooms, added sea cucumber, fresh fish, sweet shrimp, fish eggs, abalone, ginko beans and lotus seeds." Concubine Yi sighed before continuing,

"They are put in at the right time and cooked carefully. Implied meaning, in all forms it represents a variety of fused flavors, concubine Nuo wanted His Majesty to be able to unite all the elements under his leadership and hoped that what His Majesty dreamed of could be achieved soon."

Concubine Nuo stood up from her seat, saluted Her Majesty and thanked Consort Yi for describing so well, the dishes she served.

Xiao Yi then lifted the dish from concubine Yuan, a grouper fillet decorated with chili slices on it.

"Consort Yuan serves Shuizhu yu on this Chushi, processed simply with ginger and garlic seasoning. Make this healthy dish feel fresh. The meat is cooked at the right temperature, so it feels soft. Fish dishes always mean good luck and prosperity. Concubine Yuan expected His Majesty to always be lucky and bring prosperity"

Concubine Yuan smiled cheerfully, saluted His Majesty and thanked Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi smiled at this good friend of his, he really hoped that His Majesty would choose Concubine Yuan even if he had to choose. He was at least more sincere than the others.

Xiao Yi momentarily circled his gaze, then surely picked up a porcelain plate, which made concubine Mei like she had been struck by lightning from a gasp.

It was the dish, it was impossible for this concubine to choose the one she would choose was a dish belonging to the person she knew very much disliked.

If she was now in the position of concubine Yi, she would not close her eyes with anything that was served by the girl, let alone choose, see it was not.

"Jiaozy cooked by concubine Mei. is made with several stages of cooking. Chopped young duck meat and fresh vegetables wrapped in a soft flour dough. After boiling, then partly steamed and partly fried. It looks like an attractive silver tail. There is a noble do'a not to be greedy with his power and of course to be given abundance, wealth and prosperity."

With a dead red face the concubine Mei stood in her place, saluting His Majesty the King then with a reluctant face and a little embarrassed to say thanks to Xiao Yi.

The other concubine sat down with a lethargic face. They never thought that this year's Chushi festival, they should consider not only the taste and appearance but also the meaning of each dish they serve.

Concubine Yi had opened their eyes to behave more wisely in every action.

Xiao Yi advanced in front of His Majesty, saluted then raised his face, with his chest shaking violently.

"I have completed my duty, Your Majesty. Next is the duty of His Majesty to choose from among the three dishes" Xiao Yi said stammeringly. His feelings were completely erratic when faced with His Majesty, feeling strange and helpless, all his joints felt like they were about to come off.

His Majesty's eyes made him himself cold hot, just like in the sudden rush of rain in the summer.

His Majesty looked straight into the girl's eyes without any expression, as if looking for something there.

"I beg your pardon to Your Majesty and the Queen Mother if I cannot attend this festival until it is over, please allow me to resign earlier than this meeting. My body is not very healthy, maybe I should see the palace healer." That pale Xiao Yi lips looked trembling.

A moment of lightning worry flashed on His Majesty's face.

"You seem to need some rest, concubine Yi" greeted Suri's mother. He saw how the girl's body trembled, while speaking in front of the King.

Your Majesty for a moment, observed the face of the girl. He did not lie, indeed Xiao Yi looked to be in a bad state.

"Concubine Yi can return to Xingwu's guesthouse now. Watch your health concubine Yi!"

Speak Your Majesty in a commanding tone. Suppressing her very anxious feelings.

Xiao Yi once again saluted then turned around to be greeted with Chu Cu who directly led his master with a worried face.

Xiao Yi's steps left the large hall with the gazes of all the pairs of eyes present with different feelings.

Only two pairs of eyes actually felt so anxious at the girl and it was almost if not given their status back then, the two of them would approach the girl and carry her out of the room.

The two people were, the owner of the dark brown eyes that were mysterious like the color of the willow tree trunk and the owner of the eagle eyes that were as thick as black jade. Two people who secretly love the same girl.

Xiao Yi stumbled toward the courtyard of the hall, then stopped to hold on to a pillar.

"Mrs, are you okay?" Chu Cu restrained Xiao Yi's body anxiously.

"I'm fine, I just suddenly feel tired." Xiao Yi replied as he raised his palm, asking Chu Cu to stay away from him.

He only needed a moment to relieve his head that felt dizzy from holding the rumble in his chest.

Staring at the face of His Highness Yan Yue, really made him unable to bear it.

What was in his head was the memory of the warmth of His Majesty's lips that night and this made him feel completely disoriented and embarrassed. He seemed to be unable to control himself being stared at in such a way.

If only there were no one in the hall, he would probably be foolish by risking his pride by jumping into His Majesty's embrace.

Xiao yi shook his head to drive away the madness that was playing in his mind.

He tried to calm himself down, the respectable woman would not act as a fool to herself, he rebuked himself.

And coincidentally, this strange fever struck him at just the right moment, he did not want to witness who His Majesty then chose to win the Chushi festival.

Really, he didn't want to know that anyone who tonight would be a friend of His Majesty spent his long night. And Xiao Yi would also go through this night longer because he would be awake until morning in agitation.

Xiao Yi sighed, maybe tonight he really needs a healer.

"Chu Cu's...!" Call Xiao Yi.

"Yes, Madam..."

"We return to Xingwu now." continued Xiao Yi.

His hand waved to a servant before entering the palanquin that had been waiting for him and speaking in a firm voice,

"Call a healer to Xingwu's guesthouse!"
