Xiao Yi stepped slowly following Eunuch Chen's footsteps, the tip of his dress swiping on the floor, making a soft sound in the ears.
His Majesty was between flabbergasted and fascinated at the approaching figure.
"Greetings to Your Majesty..." Xiao Yi bowed respectfully so calmly, a smile on his lips that His Majesty so longed for felt like a dagger slicing through his heart.
The woman he wanted to see so badly, now came to him in a very inopportune time.
"Maxing..."His Majesty had already forgotten that in front of others, he had to call Xiao Yi with concubine Yi, but really he did not remember anything else, happiness and anxiety mixed in his heart, she said, he was afraid that his favorite concubine had become misunderstood by what was plastered in front of him.
During this time, the rule in Weiyan's palace, no woman was allowed to enter the palace of Rongyu, the king's private residence if without the permission of the king.
And now that a young woman was sitting in front of her, in her private quarters, she really didn't want to be in the first meeting of the suit so many weeks before she met, Xiao Yi would be prejudiced that no-no to him.
"Your Majesty called me?" That question sounds warm.
"Yes, I call you, concubine Yi. I've been waiting for you." His Highness advanced past Wen Qiao who was still in a tight position, welcoming Xiao Yi.
But, it was unexpected, before His Majesty touched his body he subtly bent his knees on the floor, he squabbled right behind Wen Qiao.
His Majesty looked at him in surprise, his eyes turning to eunuch Chen who was also standing up while showing a tense face.
Then mindfully the old eunuch retreated with his head down, then walked out and closed the door of His Majesty's room slowly.
"Your Majesty, if this isn't the right time, I'll be back."Xiao Yi linked his fingers in front of his stomach, similar to what Wen Qiao did.
"Consort Yi, I'm waiting for you." Your Majesty is hissing, trying not to look hot. How not, he had to take care of his wife in front of two women who were now resting on the floor of his private room.
"Your Majesty, the queen mother ordered me to serve Her Majesty." Wen Qiao suddenly said despite her head lowered.
His Majesty turned around with a dead red face, staring at Wen Qiao.
"Your Majesty..."
Xiao Yi called out in a low voice, before His Majesty let out words to Wen Qiao.
"May I speak to this brother for a moment? Before he accompanies His Majesty tonight..." Xiao Yi's words were so calm, but it felt piercing into the hearts of the two people before him.
His Majesty scrunched his forehead, and stuck out his hand so that Xiao Yi stood up.
"I don't want him to accompany me..."
"Your Majesty, maybe we can both talk for a while, with His Majesty's permission..." Xiao Yi interrupted subtly before the harsh sentence came out of His Majesty's lips, he bowed his body deeply as if he was begging.
His Majesty looked at Xiao Yi for some moves, there had never been someone so hard in his composure. Acting so foreign, while she knew the two of them must be longing for each other.
"I gave you the time as you requested, concubine Yi." Then with a heavy heart, he stepped out leaving two people who were both still sitting in bed in that place.
No one ever dared to make the king out of his own room except the girl he loved so much.
His Highness Yan Yue did not know what Xiao Yi was planning, but she really hoped, Xiao Yi put away the young woman sent by the housewife to her room.
"Sister..."Xiao Yi's voice sounded so soft, he stood up and approached the girl who was now straining.
"Stand, Your Majesty is out." Xiao Yi extended his hand to Wen Qiao.
The girl timidly greeted him.
A moment later, the two women faced each other. Staring at each other for a moment, before then Wen Qiao lowered his face.
"What's your name, sister?"Xiao Yi asked, his voice not changing at all, sounding very soft. There was not the slightest bit of anger or resentment against the new girl who was now in her husband's room.
"Sister Qiao, can I call you that?"
Wen Qiao Nodding his head still, he really never faced directly with the concubine who was reported to be the favorite of the king.
The gossip that reached her ears, concubine Yi was a cunning woman who managed to bewitch Her Majesty with her beauty and deceit. The woman who was likened to a snake, when many were talking about it, was now completely out of the picture that was in her head.
Xiao Yi was so warm and graceful, he did not show any hint of hatred towards her.
"Sister Qiao, do you really want to serve His Majesty?"The question sounded subtle but it made Wen Qiao like she was in a slap.
"I. I. am only commanded by the Queen Mother to accompany Her Majesty, she wants me to be His Majesty's concubine."Wen Qiao replied stammeringly.
"Is it just because someone told you to come to His Majesty, you are sincerely willing to give yourself to him with all your heart?" Xiao Yi smiled and grabbed the girl's hand.
Wen Qiao was still downcast, letting Xiao Yi clasp her cold fingers.
"I wouldn't mind tonight if you accompany His Majesty, if Your Majesty wills too. But is it true, you both want it?"
Xiao Yi patted the back of the girl's hand gently.
Wen Qiao fell silent, not knowing what to answer. There was no need for him to be speechless, Xiao Yi must have been very well aware, His Majesty denied his presence even in front of the queen mother who had sent him.
"Sister Qiao, before it's too late. I beg you to consider making the decision to become Your Majesty's concubine.
Not because I'm jealous of your presence but because I pity your fate if you keep trying to obey the will of the queen." Xiao Yi said again.
"But being His Majesty's concubine, will honor me even though His Majesty may not want me."Wen Qiao ventured to look at Xiao Yi.
"Sister, nothing compares to being honorable in the eyes of others but you humble yourself in front of a man whose whole life could have ruined your pride. I know His Majesty very well, not because I am so close to him, but because everyone knows he is someone who cannot love different women at the same time."Xiao Yi replied to Wen Qiao's gaze with a smile.
"I won't have the heart to see you, resting all night on the floor of this room, while His Majesty rejects you. That kind of humiliation you don't deserve at this young age. Do not make yourself tormented all your life if you have already entered into a honey trap harem cage. Appreciate yourself. Trust me brother Qiao, gloom will lead to the future when you go wrong."
Xiao Yi was so calm, as calm as the water ripples in the Sheng river.
Now, Wen Qiao looked into Xiao Yi's eyes, the pretty young girl's eyes looking teary.
"If you want to find love, I tell you sister, this is not the place. Go home, for being happy and honorable is not enough with wealth and power. Your struggle will not be comparable to the suffering you will experience. The life of this palace is too harsh, you won't be able to endure it."
Wen Qiao's cry broke, his fingers blocking Xiao Yi's wrists. The face of her lover that she left behind, being instigated with the promises of the queen mother was like dancing on her head, fear and regret blending in like smoke that fused with the air. He hugged Xiao Yi involuntarily with a trembling body.
"Sister, I will remember your words..."Wen Qiao wiped away her tears.
He bowed his body many times then turned around turning his body, stepping out from within Rongyu palace.
His Highness who stood restlessly like a statue among his personal bodyguards and eunuch Chen outside the room of Rongyu palace, astonished when he saw a girl in red clothes come out half-run from behind the door.
They really do not know, how, the girl sent by the queen mother gave up on her duties just because of a concubine Yi.
"You guys, stay here all night until morning, don't let anyone bother me and concubine Yi." The warning-pitched voice sounded excited, before then he hurriedly slipped behind the door of his own room, ending with the sound of the door closing impatiently.
