Xiao Yi's face flushed like the petals of a huoyun flower. Her white cheeks were blushing with half-opened lips in extreme shock.
All along in his mind, His Highness Yan Yue was an old king who might be his father's age or perhaps as old as Governor Qian Lie.
The king who regained his age was heartbroken, so cruel and cold to all women. Weathered in his own sadness.
But what was now in front of him, was completely different from what was painted in his mind.
The king was so young, handsome and implied the prowess of a warrior like a young phoenix who had just developed its wings.
And yesterday afternoon, he was thrown in this phoenix deck even though it was not intentional.
His highness Yan Yue was no less surprised, however,
he was stunned to stare at the beautiful girl who was so dazzling in the shiny red wedding dress.
Shown by it, the red meihua, now in bloom in the garden of shenhua, challenges winter with snowflakes.
The girl who was made a concubine of offerings from Youwu, had seen yesterday running around the market like a child chasing his age when he was disguised as an ordinary society to see the state of the city.
The two of them were stunned by each other in shock for different reasons.
"Your highness.pardon me servant" Xiao Yi was about to lower his head towards the floor but the heavy hand of the noble Yan Yue restrained his shoulders immediately.
"this is the girl who hit me yesterday?" His highness Yan Yue squinted her eyes, muttering inwardly
"Ampuni servant..." Xiao Yi replied tremblingly.
Of course I will be punished, for all my insolence yesterday, he thought.
His noble hand moved slowly, like it was about to hold onto a part of Xiao Yi's face, reflexively closing his eyes Xiao Yi held back His Majesty's wrist.
"Ampuni servant!" Xiao Yi pleaded with fear.
"Your mouth is just begging for mercy from earlier, aren't you bored?" reprimand Your Majesty is half bluffing.
Xiao Yi was still firmly gripping His Majesty's wrist, his eyes were still firmly closed as if afraid that the king was venting wrath on him.
"Take off my hand" His highness half-stomped while pulling his hand.
"You realize what you've done?
I can punish you for this insolent attitude of yours" the sentence was threatening but thrown like a temptation.
Just this time there was a girl who was really trying to resist him. All this time all the concubines sent to her, with all her efforts to seduce the noble Yan Yue, just to be in her touch. I wish I could sleep with the king.
"I have no interest in doing anything to you either, I just wanted to get rid of the strands of hair on your face!"
His Majesty returned across the table from his original seat. Then chuckled, as if laughing at Xiao Yi's stupid demeanor.
Xiao Yi opened his eyes slowly with a feeling of timidity.
His Majesty smiled coldly at him,
"Pour tea, we have to finish this ritual"
Xiao Yi swiftly took the tea pot and poured it into a glass and handed it to His Majesty.
His heart was relieved, hearing that the king had no interest in him, it must have been a tremendous fortune to him.
Xiao Yi's smile burst like a peach blossom in early spring, Your Majesty is unlikely to touch it.
Just this time His Highness Yan Yue met a girl so deeply, when the king moved away from her. This girl was completely different from most girls who had ever come to her.
"What's your name?" asked His Majesty after drinking the tea in one sip.
"Precious Xiao Yi"
"Xiao Yi?"
"Yes, your honor..."
"Have we met before?" asked the Venerable Yan Yue while pushing the tea glass in front of Xiao Yi, giving the code to fill again.
"Never a noble one" Xiao Yi replied in a doubtful tone.
"You sure?"
"Yes, your highness.this is the first time a servant has entered the palace, and met the king's majesty"
"You've never met me before?"
"Never before your majesty, the servant only arrived yesterday afternoon at this palace. And of course the noble has always been in the palace, where perhaps I was so lucky to meet the king before the noble willed"
Xiao Yi gave an excuse, as well as trying to save himself from the punishment inflicted on him, because a person who became a member of the kingdom should not be disrespectful let alone run around in the middle of the city, because it violates manners and humiliates the royal family.
Your Majesty, laugh to hear the cleverness of this girl convoluted. She knew from the first time she opened the bridal veil, this girl knew her as a noble who walked in the city market yesterday afternoon.
"Yes, your honor..."
His majesty nodded her face with an expression that was hard to guess.
"The noble looked at the soup bowl and Xiao Yi took turns.
"You know, I don't like cold soup"
"I'll heat it up for your majesty..."
"You're my bride tonight, no need to heat it yourself. Get the waiter to do it. You just accompany me here, pour wine for me"
"I can do my own noble,"
Xiao Yi felt he could avoid this bridal night if he did things that kept him away from the king.
"No noble, servant of the noble wife, servant must serve the noble himself"
His majesty frowned, frowning his forehead,
"None of the concubines I've ever been to, would do such a rude thing myself"
"Hamba is willing to noble, even if his majesty tells me to stay in the kitchen to cook for his majesty" Xiao Yi replied excitedly.
"Can you cook?"
"Hamba was happy to accompany the waiters cooking in the kitchen while still in Youwu, so I was able to cook some dishes" Xiao Yi told him with a glowing face.
"Is your cooking delicious?" the king was not sure.
"All of the servant brothers were very fond of the jiaozy and the servant-made snow mushroom soup" Xiao Yi looked very excited.
His majesty laughed out loud, he felt funny with this girl's attitude. Would he be willing to waste his time with the king on such things.
All the concubines in this palace, willing to do anything to be able to spend the night with the king.
"No! you can't go anywhere" your majesty asserted. Xiao Yi lowered his head without a sound.
Then he called for Chu Cu to heat up the already cold soup.
"I'll call you Consort Yi, to make it easier for me to remember you..."
Xiao Yi just lowered his head, poured the wine into the king's cup.
The king was cold, cruel and haughty, but this evening Xiao Yi felt that the king was not as cruel as word of mouth.
His majesty sipped some wine while enjoying the snacks that were on the table. spooning several times the shark fin hitsi soup that Chu Cu had heated up.
There was not much that His Majesty said afterwards, he was just busy drinking to the point of being drunk.
On several occasions he sometimes observed the cup glass with a sad face then drank it like he wanted to throw away a lot of things that stifled his chest but His Majesty Yan Yue was more immersed in his own imaginary realm.
Xiao Yi smiled cunningly in his heart and continued to pour wine into the cup, he hoped that the king would soon get drunk and fall asleep, then Xiao Yi escaped the fear that the king would fuck her.
Xiao Yi swept the king's body onto the bed, then laid it down.
"Yes...Jiu.." call him in a raucous tone. His eyes closed, like he was walking into a dream.
Xiao Yi stripped off the crown on the king's head and the shoes on his feet, then enveloped the already unconscious king in his drunkenness
Slowly Xiao Yi took off the heavy phoenix crown on his head along with the veil that made him unfastened.
The room lights are turned off, remaining dim light from the large candles in the corner of the room. Xiao Yi sat vigilantly on the floor at the foot of the bed. Keeping his eyes awake while fighting his sleepiness.
...***...
Eunuch Chen stood up question mark, never had he heard the king laugh so loudly on the first night with his concubine. Even the sound of laughter was heard several times through the wall of the room of Xingwu House.
All he knew was that the king would leave the bridal chamber on his first night after drinking the wedding wine.
Leaving the concubine who usually weeps for not being touched by the king in the evening of the bride and not knowing when else will be visited by His Majesty.
And this, until the lights were turned off, the king did not come out of the door of Xingwu's guesthouse.
Eunuch Chen simply stared at the night sky in the many questions in his mind.
