OFFERING CONCUBINES
EPISODE 81 SOMEONE FROM THE PAST

Governor Qian's eyes squinted at Xiao Yi, a sharp remark that was still as calm as the whirling of the spring wind as if hinting that this woman standing next to him could not be underestimated.

She was no longer the child yesterday afternoon who was sobbing after her birthday party a year ago, called and forcibly received her orders, becoming an offering concubine.

"Your Majesty has made a warrant, protecting you and concubine Yuan completely. Now that you're under my management, if you're being too defiant then I can be the weapon that will attack you."Governor Qian.

"Of course, my life is now in the hands of the governor. I will depend entirely on you, even if I fall a little sick, then all eyes will see you.

How can I not be afraid, if something does not clearly happen to me, then the mistake will easily be overwritten to you sir.

I really don't have that kind of stuff."Xiao Yi turned his face to Governor Qian with a very sweet smile but it really made Governor Qian riled up.

He was eager to make Xiao Yi frightened under his intimidation, but this girl was truly unable to be considered weak. With so much calm he made Governor Qian feel that he was the one who turned around to receive the threat.

"After all, the governor is my adoptive father, who has so kindly raised a lowly woman with no noble bloodline as master, to be so honorable as now. Of course I'm not the one who knows thank you for ignoring the governor's favor." Xiao Yi continued.

"Tell me, did when I got to Youwu, I have to hold a banquet to announce the master's favor or did I have to kill someone for you?" Xiao Yi's question sounded so flat, without fear.

That expression, even for Governor Qian's cruel person, made him slightly goosebumps.

"I just warned you, concubine Yi...! Be respectful towards me as long as you stay in the Zhuzuang palace, because it is my residence! I'm not a person who is reluctant to lower my hands to your relatives if you try to act against me!"Governor Qian's face reddened as he felt that this woman did not show the slightest fear towards him.

"Sure Lord governor, concubine Yi will obey you in your territory. Kittens will not dare to bite the leg of a tiger, except perhaps because of a pinch."Xiao Yi smiled widely, then with a still-decorating smile on his pink lips, he bent his body so deeply in front of the governor.

Governor Qian clenched his hands hard, his chest felt rumbling with anger. Xiao Yi's smile was not at all the smile of an obedient child, but a manipulative smile.

He knew very well, using this woman as a weapon if not carefully could turn around to eat his master.

"Master, there's no need to worry about my attitude, the governor has trained me well."

Xiao Yi placed his two fingers in front of his stomach and nodded his face calmly.

"Maybe we've been resting here for too long, look at the clouds already descending on the Pingyuan mountain range ahead there. Soon afternoon, we should not make concubine Yuan stay in the carriage too long."

"If there's nothing more we should discuss, it'd be nice for us to hurry, my foster father."Xiao Yi bowed his body once more then slowly turned around and walked back so calmly towards his carriage.

Governor Qian stared at the girl's back with hardened jaws, he now even had to be careful of a woman he thought was just a bait.

...***...

The carriage reached the Qian governor's palace. But her thing was, the news of Xiao Yi's arrival had come first. In the great passage of Zhuzuang Palace, greeted by Lady Xiao and several servants, Xiao Yi's eldest brother Xiao Ce stood with a face no less than his mother's.

They stayed temporarily in the pavilion within the walls of the Qian governor's residence.

Xiao Yi got off the carriage with a happy Chu Cu step,

"Welcome, madam..." Madam Xiao slightly bowed formally to Xiao Yi who felt like she was about to hunt down her mother earlier and hugged her.

Xiao Yi paused to extend his two hands, when his mother without giving him a chance to do so, folded his hands in front of his stomach.

Of course this made Xiao Yi confused and uneasy, now all the servants who were there paid their respects officially.

Xiao Yi was stunned, though,

"Mother, this is Xiao Yi, your son..." Xiao Yi said stammeredly. Everyone felt so distant from him.

"Mrs..." Cun's bodyguards cleared their throat from behind Xiao Yi.

"Your Majesty has written letters to all regions to treat the madam officially, because Lady Yi is now a consort of Furen" said the bodyguard of Cun Low.

He never begged to be made furen and now he bears that title, which everyone knows but he himself does not.

"Your Majesty doesn't want to tell the madam, because she knows the madam will reject her."

"Having the title of furen should be officially inducted in guangli, I can't carelessly accept it, bodyguard Cun."

"Madam, the mistress' inauguration will be officially carried out when the mistress returns, on the services of the mistress to save one big problem in the kingdom, the court's consideration council has already approved the awarding of Consort Furen to Lady Yi."

Xiao Yi stared at the surroundings with a face of disbelief, not a single concubine received that title as long as His Majesty Yan Yue was crowned king.

Consort Nuo, who was once His Majesty's first concubine, was only awarded as a middle concubine.

"Your Majesty should have spoken to me first."Xiao Yi muttered with a sour face.

"Get Miss Yi's things to the main guest room..." Qian Ren said suddenly from the right side of Xiao Yi to the few servants who were still bowing, the look on his face was like that of someone who did not know Xiao Yi.

"Mrs Yi is now the honorable concubine of Yanzhi kingdom, be respectful and serve her well." Qian Ren.

Madam Xiao and big brother Xiao Yi agreed obediently.

"Cun Guards, does this official honor apply to my family as well?"Xiao Yi asked half a whisper.

"Yes, madam. In the common room, the mistress must be treated officially, not looking at anyone. Except for the one with a higher status than the mistress."

Xiao Yi was still dumbfounded, looking at his parents and brother who were standing awkwardly before him.

"Madam.." Suddenly Ayin concubine Yuan's servant, came in a row, bowing with a nervous look.

"Yes..."Xiao Yi turned his head, then he only realized he had forgotten concubine Yuan was lying helplessly in the carriage for a long time.

"Oh, move concubine Yuan immediately from the carriage, to my room."His command as he re-entered the carriage checked the state of concubine Yuan, whose eyes were blinking, his lips twitching. Cold sweat drenched his forehead.

"He has a fever.Can it be faster." Xiao Yi shouted in a slight panic.

The waiter who stood confused, then immediately retreated to look for a stretcher hearing the condition of concubine Yuan.

Suddenly Qian Ren stepped inside the carriage,

"I beg your permission to help carry concubine Yuan so that it can be checked by your mother" he said as he looked at Xiao Yi.

Then without waiting for Xiao Yi's approval, Qian Ren's arm had already moved infiltrating Yuan's concubine's neck, her other arm in the knee curve of the helpless beautiful woman.

And in an instant, the slender body of concubine Yuan was inside Qian Ren's embrace, so resigned. But the girl's eyes in his arms looked surprised in words that could not be expressed.

Yuan's lips opened and twitched as if wanting to say something, his eyes twinkling implying a million feelings of looking at the man who was now so strongly embracing him, his tears spilling over.

In silence and helplessness, he was looking at someone from the past whom he had longed for so much.
