OFFERING CONCUBINES
EPISODE 46 RETURNS TO ITS OWNER
Concubine Mei threw a glance at the invitation present, all now as if turning her eyes to him. Hinting at their memories on Consort May's promise.
How his arrogance had made him in a gnaw of regret, now the right to ask for one yishu plea just floated away.
He was too high in judging his ingenuity and too low in judging the ability of concubine Yi.
Every conceit will meet its price.
Concubine Mei had dared to bet then victory or defeat should be swallowed in silence.
The Queen Mother who was sitting with several concubines in the left gazebo just looked at him coldly as if saying that she had done something stupid by underestimating the sacrificial concubine from Youwu.
Concubine Mei looked at Her Majesty, who confronted her with a gaze not only cold but sharp, as if about to demand an appointment for Xiao Yi.
Her Majesty in the eyes of concubine Mei was only so blinded by the young concubine, that she could not see how much her love for Her Majesty felt. He was able to do anything, to make His Majesty look at him.
"Of course concubine Mei won't be kinked, she will keep her promise." Her Majesty said firmly.
Yes, His Majesty only defended Consort Yi, not a single bit did His Majesty share his pity. Concubine Mei's hatred deepened, because it was Consort Yi that Her Majesty treated her like this!
Concubine Mei advanced slowly and bowed to Her Majesty,
"I'm handing over the blue ribbon rights of yishu to concubine Yi." He said as he swallowed his own saliva heavily. His face was red. The annoyance, regret and anger that he tried to keep in his heart.
His Majesty smiled with satisfaction, hearing that. Her little grin accompanied Consort Mei's step back to her gazebo.
Now just stood Xiao Yi in front of him standing like a beautiful statue. Her voice was without a hint of distress at what concubine Mei had done to her.
"What is your request, concubine Yi?" ask His Majesty. There was a hint of hope in His Majesty's heart, that Xiao Yi would beg to spend one night with him, but then he brushed it off, because Consort Yi was not a concubine-class woman Mei. He has much more self-respect.
Or could it be, concubine Yi would ask herself in being appointed as a middle concubine to make her status more looked upon among all the concubines.
His Majesty waited in curiosity.
"Will yishu's request be granted?" xiao Yi asked, sounding a little bolder and unusual.
His Majesty was silent for a moment, trying to find the intent of Xiao Yi's sentence. Did this girl become tempted to be greedy?
"I will grant as long as it is still in accordance with the provisions of yishu's plea." Answer His majesty, straightforwardly.
"If so, in seeing all those present at this festival, I will keep this yishu plea, until the right time, I will ask for it to His Majesty." Xiao Yi's words were so calm, though,
Xiao Yi smiled slightly to His Majesty, as if he had just won a candy.
"You can ask for it now, I'll grant it, concubine Yi." His Majesty felt really wanting Xiao Yi to make his plea to him right now. She would give anything to the girl, even if she asked for her heart though.
"Now, I feel like I don't need anything Your Majesty. I feel pretty good in this palace. One day, maybe this request will be useful. I'll come back to ask for it."
xiao Yi replied.
His Majesty stared intently at Xiao Yi, suddenly fear and despair ambushed him with Xiao Yi's attitude.
He suddenly felt afraid that if it turned out, Xiao Yi was planning something, would Xiao Yi use his request, to break free from the harem palace? or perhaps he wanted to ask His Majesty to return him to his lover, the governor's son?
The prejudices suddenly sprang up on the basis of a sudden heightened sense of jealousy.
"I express my gratitude for this gift to His Majesty and also to Consort May."
then take a few steps back from where he stood and ask permission to return to his seat.
Concubine Mei looked at the girl with deepening resentment, she felt that concubine Yi was so cunning.
His Majesty looked at the girl's back like a person who felt being played with. While Xiao Yi passed by so calmly from before him.
You are so different, Your Majesty.
Yishu Festival tonight is completely different, not a few people admire the new concubine. She is not only beautiful but smart and also smart.
The dim twinkle of lantern light is like telling the story of the beauty of the Yishu festival in Shenhua park this year which also happened unexpectedly.
The dances of the ladies and the music of the Yishu Festival are over.
...***...
The night fell even more late when the banquet after the Yishu festival was over. Everyone went back to their homes. Concubine Yuan and her servant bidding farewell to the door of the Yangjie guesthouse, after they had walked together from the yishu event in Shenhua Park.
Suddenly Xiao Yi turned his steps, returning towards the garden.
"Madamma, the direction of Xingwu's guesthouse is not there." Chu Cu rebuked.
"I have to go somewhere"
"Where is the lady going?"
"Meeting someone." Xiao Yi's step became a place, his Skirt was lifted slightly so that the step was wider.
"Mrs, we have to go back!" Chu Cu became afraid of what Xiao Yi was doing.
"I have to return an item to someone, I don't want this item to make between me and him misunderstand."
Xiao Yi took the velvet jewelry pouch that contained Chai giving Mr. Zhao from his waist and held it tightly.
He felt guilty keeping the chai, because maybe Master Zhao thought he accepted it for some reason.
He had to meet that Zhao master, tonight, this chai had to be returned to its owner.
The medicine room of physician Guo was not far from the concubine's guesthouse, they had already passed by earlier when they returned from Shenhua's direction.
It was always open twenty-four hours a day, and guarded by some of Guo's physician assistants. They are also experts in prescribing drugs.
Xiao Yi walked in haste, walking on the edge of the lake. The lotus lanterns that were flickering on it, no longer caught his attention. Because all he had in mind right now was to meet Master Zhao immediately. Chu Cu was running around a little behind him, afraid of being left far behind by his master.
"Madam, it's not good for a woman to meet a stranger in the middle of the night blind like this." Chirping Chu Cu, his mouth was panting.
Xiao Yi did not reply, Guo's medicinal hall building was already in sight.
"Madam, if anyone finds out the lady is going to meet someone, the lady could get into trouble..." Chu Cu paused, holding his knee while taking a breath.
Just passed by the two Peach trees in front of him,
when suddenly someone pulled his hand behind a peach tree and pushed it leaned on the tree trunk without having time to shout because a palm smothered his mouth.
Xiao Yi's eyes glared at Yang's face so close to his!
