OFFERING CONCUBINES
EPISODE 8 LOADS IN THE BEGINNING

"Honor to the noble mother of Suri..."

Xiao Yi who was now holding the title of Consort Yi bowed.

"This is a noble new concubine" Suri's mother said, introducing.

Xiao Yi took two steps back and turned around, then bowed respectfully to all the concubines present within the hall and reciprocated the same attitude.

With a doubtful step Xiao Yi took his place in the seat of honor to the right of the king's seat.

The other concubines were welcome to sit back in her place, waiting for the Queen Mother to speak.

"As wives of the royal king of Yanzhi, be kind to guard the honor of the king and the palace" the Queen Mother said as she looked at all the women who had dressed so beautifully, polished with alluring and beautifully wrapped clothes.

"His Majesty the King arrived." the voice of the bodyguards outside the Qin Ren Hall was heard announcing the king's arrival.

Everyone present immediately stood up.

His highness Yan Yue entered the room with gallant steps, wearing a black-colored robe with gold embroidery of brocade materials.

In the center of his chest and back is engraved a picture of a dragon coiling with the sun and moon five colors are so beautiful in the embroidery of a large round motif of golden shiny yellow.

The glorious good looks were more and more radiant under the golden crown of the red sapphire, which sheathed a hair loop over her head.

His Majesty is truly charming and enchanting.

Behind him walked eunuch Chen and his two bodyguards, escorting the king's steps towards his seat.

"Honour to His Majesty the King" All who stood saluted.

His majesty sat on a throne chair made especially for the king in the hall of Qin Ren.

"May Your Majesty live a long life." simultaneously welcomed by his concubines still with a respectful attitude.

The king nodded his head slightly, emperor Chen gave the code by opening both his hands allowing everyone to sit down.

"Thank you your majesty for being able to attend this banquet" Suri's mother said.

"Of course the Queen Mother, I will be present at the banquet this morning because the queen mother invited me" Her Majesty smiled at the queen mother.

" Today is a banquet to welcome the new noble concubine, I hope all the noble wives can support each other for the honor of the noble king Yanzhi" the queen mother said loudly.

"We obey the noble queen" replied the concubines in unison.

Their eyes sparkled like shining stars, stealing glances at the king, hoping that the king would look at one of them.

The Queen Mother raised a cup of wine and said,

"We welcome the King's new noble concubine to Qin Ren's palace"

All the concubines did the same as the queen mother, lifting the wine cup upwards

His highness took the wine cup in front of him, after being poured slightly into the tasting glass and tried by the emperor chen, he lifted the cup high.

"Let's toast to concubine Yi" the King said as he turned to Xiao Yi in a very official manner.

Xiao Yi raised his wine cup, his chest gurgling, looking at the king suddenly made him slightly misbehaved.

"Thank you, may your majesty live a long life" Xiao Yi greeted, timidly.

A month before being sent to this palace, Xiao Yi had been taught by the senior butler of the Qian Lie governor's residence how the rules and manners within the palace were, little did Xiao Yi know, even though he had never really seriously taken up that training.

After everyone sipped wine in the cup each held, the King allowed all his concubines to enjoy the dish in front of them.

"Concubine Yi, I hope you can bring yourself inside the palace" His Highness Yan Yue stared intently at Xiao Yi's eyes.

He seemed to be looking for what was so interesting about this girl that he forgot himself in his drunkenness and fell asleep in the guesthouse of this concubine's residence, a very rare thing that he had done.

Xiao Yi nodded his head and lowered his head deeply.

The one before him was a handsome face with sturdy jaws and eyes as black as a willow tree in the snow, his black brows arched high like a knight sword, his countenance cold as freezing water.

There was no more finding the face of a fragile man who was like so wounded, looking for the face he missed in a puddle of wine in the glass by glass that he drank.

A person who is so compassionate wandering in unconsciousness calls out a name like very much hoping to meet even for a moment.

"Thank your head" The order resuscitated Xiao Yi from the slight daydream that troubled her mind.

"Are you really good at cooking, like you said last night?" ask the noble with the volume of the voice rather slowly,

that question of course made the Queen mother somewhat astonished.

Never has the king shown any special attention or interest to all his concubines during this time.

"I can cook even though it's not too clever that noble" Xiao Yi stammered, his face blushing red.

The concubines looked at each other with curious faces and tried to steal what the noble was talking about with his new concubine, it seemed so serious.

"Make me one dish but if it is not tasty you will receive punishment" said the sharp noble.

Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment hearing the noble's command.

"But your honor, the concubine is not allowed to enter the palace kitchen" the Queen Mother looked at the noble as she frowned slightly.

"For concubine Yi, I allow the special use of the palace kitchen today" said the king.

"Make me Youwu's famous snow mushroom soup, with your own hands" the noble voice was so low, the tone was filled with a slightly pushy pressure.

"And I wait, a special dinner for me in Rongyu tonight is delivered by you!" half a whisper.

His majesty suddenly rose from her seat, all those in the room also simultaneously followed her stand.

"Alright, I have to attend the congregation in the Guanli hall, there are many things to discuss there. Please continue with the banquet" he said as he spread his gaze throughout the room, though it was doubtful whether he really saw the likeness of everything in the room.

"My queen begs herself" Her majesty nodded respectfully to her highness the queen mother was greeted with a nod by the queen mother.

"Thank you for attending this morning's banquet in Qing Ren" the Queen Mother replied with a graceful smile.

His majesty walked with gallant long steps past all who bowed respectfully to him.

"May Your Majesty live a long life..."

Concubine Yi was glued to where she stood, taking her noble departure leaving the room with a pushy look.

Still ringing in his mind, the king's request and if the cuisine is not good then the king does not seem to hesitate to punish him.

Is it really what your majesty wants, whether she's just looking for a loophole to punish him for what happened in that market or whether his majesty the king is eager to humiliate her for behaving in the past night, or if he's just trying to humiliate her, trying to leave the room just to heat up a bowl of soup.

But, couldn't his majesty just impose a sentence at that time, there was no need to wait until it was announced that it would impliedly punish him in this hall attended by his concubines?

Or perhaps, he was warned to his other wives, that offending the king would be punished?

If so, how truly noble this king of Yan Yue was truly ruthless.

Even on the first day she officially became one of the king's concubines, she was already threatened in the law.

Xiao Yi simply closed his eyelids that were like the petals of the rose bud with a tingle of fret, with a glance of stealing some concubines who were so cynical about him.

Being part of this palace turned out to be so scary that even the cold war between its residents had started from the beginning he entered into it, it was like a stone that he had to bear that even he himself did not know what the burden would be like in the future.
