OFFERING CONCUBINES
EPISODE 59 IS A TUMBAL

Xiao Yi took off the aprons covering the front of her dress.

Then his smile broadened, looking at his work this morning.

Inside the two porcelain bowls, there is chicken soup with brownish yellow sauce. It looks appetizing.

Xiao Yi had made a special soup for health that he would bring to the Yangjie guesthouse.

The soup is made from young roosters boiled using mushroom broth, added dried ginseng, red dates, dried goji berries, lotus flower seeds and fresh shitake mushrooms. The flavor is just ginger and garlic. But the soup is very nutritious to restore the body that is not healthy.

Xiao Yi's mother taught him to make this soup because Xiao Yi's father was prone to getting sick at the turn of the season.

And Xiao Yi was already very proficient at making them.

Concubine Yuan was the only friend inside this harem palace, naturally Xiao Yi was very fond of her.

"Chu Cu's..."

"Yes, Madam..." Chu Cu cringed as he approached Xiao Yi who was standing facing the porcelain bowl on the table.

"Take one bowl of this soup to His Majesty at Xingwu's guesthouse, I'll deliver the other soup to Yuan's concubine to Yangjie's guesthouse."

Xiao Yi recalled to His Majesty, who was now probably still not awake from his sleep.

It was still morning, the warm spring sun had just risen from the east. Xiao Yi walked with a carefree smile past the edge of the garden, behind him a kitchen maid accompanied him, carrying a bushel of mahogany wood, inside which a porcelain bowl filled with soup was placed.

Chu Cu also walked almost right beside him carrying the same bushel.

"Madam, shouldn't the madam deliver this soup to His Majesty for a while?" Chu Cu asked, her heart was no less happy to see the happy face of her master this morning.

Last night before His Majesty came, this master was very grim and sad. But now his face was glowing with happiness.

The mood of this beloved mistress of hers had indeed changed drastically now thanks to the presence of Her Majesty.

"I don't want to make it late to the guangli hall..." Xiao Yi said with a small smile.

"Make your majesty late?" Chu Cu asked in confusion.

Xiao Yi laughed inwardly. Of course Your Majesty will be late to see him again this morning, because when they look at each other it is hard to leave each other.

And Xiao Yi could not guarantee that the herbal soup he made for Consort Yuan could arrive warm, as it was possible that even Xiao Yi did not have the strength to refuse to stay with His Majesty.

Xiao Yi halted his steps in front of Yangjie's guesthouse and turned to Chu Cu.

"I will wait for you in Yangjie, just deliver the soup to Your Majesty. Tell Your Majesty to eat it before attending the meeting to Guangli hall. I've cooked this soup myself with my hands." Xiao Yi's Message.

"Yes Madam..." Xiao Yi replied obediently and immediately continued his steps towards Xingwu Guesthouse which only clashed a few buildings with Yangjie's guesthouse.

Xiao Yi with the young maid from the kitchen stepped towards the gate of Yangjie's guesthouse.

"What's your name?" xiao Yi asked with a smile and slowed his pace. The thin-faced young girl looked rather surprised, only this time did a mistress invite her to speak so kindly.

"Huanran mistress..." The answer. Xiao Yi stopped his steps and frowned his brows.

"Huanran? Your name is so good. Surely your parents expect you to be a cheerful and confident girl. But I noticed your face was grim and agitated. Your name has become incompatible with your attitude." Xiao Yi said with eyes splashed but her smile remained.

"I'm sorry, ma'am..." Huanran bowed with a frightened face, his hands were so trembling that they held the same bushel in his tent. His sweat dripped on the back of his hand which seemed to be an oil burn scar.

Xiao Yi smiled again, this young servant is so frail and timid. Just being brought up to talk like that she was terrified beyond measure.

"You don't have to apologize, I'm just surprised. Your name does not reflect the look on your face." Xiao Yi patted the servant's shoulder gently. Then continued his steps again entering the Yangjie terrace.

"Where are you from, Huanran?"

"I'm from Shanpo village, madam. Under the hill Zhiesan." Answer the girl.

Xiao Yi actually longed to ride the night splitting horse with His Majesty and those guards, unfortunately His Majesty seemed to no longer tell him to go there.

It was possible that he had only sent Jian guards or his other bodyguards.

The guard at Yangjie's guest house opened the door, as it seemed that his arrival was already waiting.

Inside the room with ornaments that seemed to be dominated by the light blue color, there was already concubine Nuo and concubine Wei, they were both sitting on the edge of concubine Yuan's bed. While concubine Yuan seemed to be sitting leaning against a padded pillow on her bed.

Concubine Nuo and concubine Wei immediately stood up to welcome Xiao Yi's arrival.

"Greetings jiejie..." Xiao Yi bent his legs slightly while putting his hands in front of his stomach, greeting.

"Sister Yi, it's good to see you..." Greet concubine Yuan from where she sat and was about to move.

"Sister Yuan, there's no need to get up. Sorry I'm late to visit you." Xiao Yi prevented Consort Yuan from descending from his bed.

The girl's face was a bit pale, it seemed like she was indeed being unwell.

"Thank you for coming, concubine Yi." Concubine Nuo Nuo spoke with a warm smile.

"I'm sorry, brother concubine Nuo, I can't hurry early in the morning for taking the time to make soup for brother Yuan." said Xiao Yi.

"It's a pleasure, concubine Yi is willing to make soup for concubine Yuan." Concubine Nuo replied in a friendly manner.

"Sister Yi, I don't feel good about bothering you." Concubine Yuan's countenance looked somewhat regretful.

"It's okay, brother.I'm guilty of not knowing that brother Yuan is in pain."

"Sister Yi, I'm fine just an ordinary fever maybe exhausted after being rather busy with the two festivals this week. But physician Guo has made me medicine. Now I just need a little rest."

Xiao Yi gestured for Huanran's servant to put the wooden bushel he was carrying onto the table on the edge of Yuan's concubine's bed and took out a covered porcelain bowl containing Xiao Yi's soup.

"Let me..." Consort Wei took out a small bowl from the table and scooped up the soup. Then hand it over to Consort Yuan.

"Thank you, it smells great. Lucky to be able to taste the soup made by Yi's sister" Consort Yuan smelled the scent of soup that still reflected the thin smoke.

"I'll make it again if big brother Yuan likes it." Xiao Yi replied with sparkling eyes.

Concubine Yuan scooped the soup into her mouth and clucked with a carefree face.

"It's so good, sister Yi..." Concubine Yuan scooped again with a sumringah face.

While scooping the third time, suddenly concubine Yuan's face flushed red, the bowl of soup in her hand came loose, she held her throat.

"What's the sister?" Concubine Nuo was surprised by the sudden change that occurred to concubine Yuan, as well as Xiao Yi and concubine Wei.

The three of them scattered holding Yuan's concubine who appeared to be holding her neck in pain.

"This soup is poisonous!" Consort Wei shouted as she held the bowl that fell on Consort Yuan's thigh.

Xiao Yi was flabbergasted, and rushed into Yuan's concubine's arms.

"Call healers!" Concubine Nuo shouted in panic. The three servants inside the room including Huanran, who was still standing tensely immediately ran over to the outside.

(How is the fate of concubine Yuan and concubine Yi, Look forward to the next episode with the title part "Poisons of Ice Lilies"🤗🤗🤗🤗)
