OFFERING CONCUBINES
CHAPTER 89 THINGS OF THE HEART

The fourth month of the year, spring had just passed, leaving half of the summer alternating with erratic rain. Strange season on Youwu, never to be guessed.

It was possible, the new sun was shining fiercely, but in a few moments later, the sky suddenly dimmed, cloudy darkening forced the black clouds to lower the clear circles from above it.

One month in Youwu, concubine Yuan had recovered, Xiao Yi and her mother had taken very good care of concubine Yuan, only her face was sometimes so gloomy at times. It is like losing himself.

Xiao Yi realized the change. There was something that made him so sad even though he had returned to health.

That day, they stood together, on the pavilion terrace of the Qian governor's palace. The afternoon had just fallen, along with the sudden rush of rain. The two beautiful women were both stunned staring at the rinai that had fallen to the ground, as if the rain of the day was truly dazzling.

"Sister Yuan, it's time we might return to Weiyan Palace." Said Xiao Yi, his voice slightly raised against the sound of rain.

Concubine Yuan stared towards the sky and towards Xiao Yi in turn, suddenly her cold hand touched Xiao Yi's wrist.

"Sister.." sighed, slowly. Hardly heard.

"In my life, I've never felt so free and so shackled at the same time, as I am today." Speak with glaring eyes.

"You have given me a chance to get out of a golden cage, where I always hoped, someone came up to me and gave me a little hope to live like a woman should. Loved and wanted." Concubine Yuan's voice sounded pitiful amongst the rain patter.

"Sometimes I want to ask you, sister..What does it feel like to be loved?" the question was like a small wave, hitting Xiao Yi's face, which suddenly froze. The question seemed to slap him.

"Surprisingly, I also do not understand, sometimes curious it feels heartbroken, because to be loved even I do not know what it feels like, how could I have other feelings that."

Concubine Yuan played Xiao Yi's fingers with her delicate hands. It was as if he wanted the girl in front of him to share what he wanted to feel.

Xiao Yi stared intently at the concubine Yuan,

he knows well, it feels loved, he even knows what it feels like to be heartbroken. Then it becomes thrown away and at other times different people try to grab it.

He knew all those flavors, and had once felt like an unlucky person in his life, but was now staring at concubine Yuan, making him shudder.

The woman who was also the wife of her husband, was so much more unlucky. All my life, I don't know any feelings, except to guess.

"Sister..do you want to tell me something?" Xiao Yi approached concubine Yuan, replying to holding the other concubine Yuan's hand.

Before she fell ill due to the poison of the Ice lily of that concubine Nuo, concubine Yuan was the most carefree woman in Weiyan's palace. A smile never escaped his lips, but lately Xiao Yi had completely lost, his cheerful ripples.

Consort Yuan seemed to be recovering from her paralysis but lost half of herself.

"Sister..is if I go back to the palace, someone is waiting for me?" concubine Yuan asked, those eyes glazed over.

"Of course, brother. Lots of people waiting for you."

"Is His Majesty also waiting for me?" Those glazed eyes, suddenly shed tears.

Xiao Yi was speechless not knowing what to answer, even if he were to speak it might just be saying nonsense words to comfort concubine Yuan, the sentences that he himself was secretly too afraid to utter.

"If I go back to the palace, will you be willing to share His Majesty with me?"

Now Xiao Yi let go of concubine Yuan's fingers, flabbergasted for a moment. He never thought Consort Yuan would say this to him.

"Your Majesty is your husband as well, then it would be very selfish if I could not see you with His Majesty, if His Majesty wanted to..." Xiao Yi's reply sounded giddy and wry.

She may be a wise woman, but sharing love is another matter. It's a matter of the heart, which not everyone can afford to accept with willingness and sincerity.

Concubine Yuan chuckled, as if wanting to laugh at the two of them. Two friends who are stuck in a marriage with the same person, only they bear a different destiny.

"Sometimes, I envy you sister, love is on your side very well. I sometimes dream in your place, have a little attention from the people I want. How fun it is, I live even if only for one day."

Yuan concubine's tears, a rhythm of rain. Rubbed her cheeks with her wide sleeves. Those eyes did not hate Xiao Yi at all, only so much to suffer from the unfairness of life he felt.

"Sister..."

"Sister Yi, I used to think, it's okay to marry His Majesty, one day he will see me somehow and how. But now I don't expect that anymore. I really don't want her anymore sister." Concubine Yuan looked down, now she was really sobbing.

"I've never really fallen in love with Your Majesty, I just realized it now..."

"Sister? His Majesty is your husband. You can't have that feeling."

"Don't comfort the two of us, to be understanding. Even if I were in your position, I would never be able to think of His Majesty being in the same bed with a different person, even though we might have to accept it if that were to happen." Concubine Yuan laughed crisply looking at Xiao Yi's expression.

"Sister, I just used my status as a wife to build up a false feeling. I don't want to lie to myself anymore."

Concubine Yuan sighed in her between his sobs.

"Sister, if the feeling of wanting to be together and seeing someone at all times is love, then I have fallen in love with someone else." Concubine Yuan raised her puffy face.

Xiao Yi was stunned to hear concubine Yuan's statement.

"Fall in love with someone else?" Xiao Yi repeated the sentence uncertainly.

"I fell in love a long time ago, with people who might have also put their hearts on you. I fell in love with the person I met years ago, in this place.

I have fallen in love with young Master Qian Ren." Now Consort Yuan said steadily, accompanied by great relief, when he was able to tell what he had been hiding in his heart.

Xiao Yi took a few steps back, so surprised to hear concubine Yuan's words.

He never realized that his friend loved his past lover.

"Qian Ren?" Her lips trembled, not out of jealousy, for the sense was far behind since she had decided to forget Qian Ren, but because they had never been stupefied, they were in a complicated circle of romance.

"Can you help me one more time?" Consort Yuan wiped the rest of her tears.

"What?" Xiao Yi stared at Concubine Yuan, so confused.

"As a Furen concubine, with the highest status among all of His Majesty's concubines, I beg you, to free me from marriage with His Majesty."

Concubine Yuan bent her legs, placed both her hands in front of her stomach and bowed her body so deeply, like a plea.

Xiao Yi immediately raised the body of concubine Yuan to stand up again.

"Don't act like this, brother..." Xiao Yi stuttered awkwardly.

"Perhaps, I can't force Young Master Qian to accept me, but it's better not to force her to live under a pseudo-marriage can make me live a more honorable life. Moreover I do not wish to hurt your feelings sister, to continue to be envious of His Majesty's love. You've been so good to me. Being a little lonely again, won't kill me." Concubine Yuan pulled the corner of her lips. Closer to Xiao Yi, grabbed back the fingers of the girl in front of him. He was so hopeful, in his sadness.
