OFFERING CONCUBINES
EPISODE 99 PERSONAL COUNSELOR OF THE KING
Xiao Yi walked slowly, down the wooden bridge over the Shenhua park lake.
The petals of peaches, beginning to fall, an exotic pink color flying in the air before reaching above the ground.
Autumn in this year feels faster coming, as if not like the flowers that bloom showing off their beauty.
"Chu Cu, this is the day how many of us are in the Palace after returning from Youwu?" Xiao Yi asked.
"Day 5, ma'am."
Xiao Yi nodded his head, in a moment he would get ready for such a big event. Which would let him know, who was so eager to harm his fetus, through a healer, even when he had just set foot in the palace.
Xiao Yi lifted up his dress slightly, speeding up his pace, he remembered His Majesty, was waiting for him at the garden gazebo this afternoon.
From the middle of the arched bridge he had already seen from afar some of His Majesty's personal guards were standing around the gazebo. While in it was sitting Cun's bodyguard facing His Majesty's table.
Xiao Yi frowned, uncharacteristically His Majesty spoke to Cun's bodyguards.
"Mrs..."The Jian Guards lowered their heads respectfully as Xiao Yi passed through where he was standing.
Xiao Yi smiled and continued his steps towards the gazebo building, followed by Chu Cu.
His Majesty's head was raised with a faint smile when he saw Xiao Yi arrive.
Xiao Yi bowed slightly giving his respects and greetings to His Majesty,
While Cun's bodyguard during his time at Youwu was assigned to escort Xiao Yi bowed deeply and stood still.
"Your Majesty...Madame...I beg you to resign" he said, taking a step back and immediately leaving the building in the middle of the Shenhua park lake.
"Chenxing, sit...."The noble voice sounded warm.
Xiao Yi sat across the table where His Majesty sat.
"Close to." His Majesty reached out his hand, and obediently Xiao Yi shifted and sat down next to His Majesty.
"How's your health?"
"I'm fine, Your Majesty."
His Majesty raised his fingers and tidied up Xiao Yi's haircut that fell on the forehead.
"I'm glad to hear it." Sahut His Majesty.
"Cun's bodyguard told me about some of the crimes of governor Qian Lie, who secretly had you and Cun's bodyguard celediki"
Xiao Yi listened carefully to the sentence His Majesty said.
"What do you think, Chenxing? Is it time for me to act?"
"Your Majesty...." Xiao Yi's eyes stared intently at His Majesty.
"Acting too fast can be a loophole for the enemy to retaliate against us. It's good to move on when we're holding onto irrefutable evidence." Said Xiao Yi.
"What we saw there, it might just be a small piece of a larger crime."
"What do you mean, Chenxing?"
"Governor Qian was so eager to corrupt some of the taxes for his benefit that even raised them unilaterally that it made it very difficult for the people who had just passed a disaster." Xiao Yi took a slow breath.
"He was very impressed in a hurry not even considering the state of his people, something like this signifies a great ambition.
And as for the size of a governor, this is too much."
"You mean?" His Majesty squinted his eyes at Xiao Yi.
"Any great ambition that without a doubt certainly keeps a great man behind it. He wouldn't dare to act that way if there wasn't anyone with more power than himself to support him."Xiao Yi replied.
"I also considered a few things and possibilities, because all this time I believed the involvement of people in the palace was very strong, he said, so some of the chaos lately will be gone without a trace and lose evidence when I go back. Chenxing, you suspect something?"
"Standing in a high place, of course, we must be aware of people who are below us.
His Majesty was stunned to look at the woman in front of him, who was so calm in her beauty.
"Your Majesty, when we fish, throw the bait and let it go. Then the small fish will come to spend our bait, because the big fish will be in a hidden place to observe. Throw the bait, until no fish feels suspicious, the small fish will soon be full, the big fish will peck at it."
His Majesty's eyes seemed to stare at Xiao Yi stunned, hearing the figurative depiction in Xiao Yi's speech.
"When the big fish bites the bait, catch it. Throw a net on a small fish that is full. Then His Majesty caught it all."Xiao Yi smiled.
His Majesty stared unblinkingly at Xiao Yi, how he had not expected this girl to have such an intelligent thought.
All this time he thought, Xiao Yi was a firm and wise woman. But adding the word smart might not be wrong.
"Then what should I do, you think?"
"Stay in His Majesty's place, just observe and wait as if Your Majesty knows nothing, let His Majesty's confidants investigate. If possible, make some of the insiders involved in Governor Qian Lie's crime game. Staying inside the house to see things in it is certainly easier than just looking out the window."
Xiao Yi ended the sentence with a smile floating on his pink lips.
His Majesty could not help his admiration for the woman in front of him. Her pretty face really did not imply that she had such broad thoughts.
"Maxing...."His Majesty rubbed Xiao Yi's cheeks.
"I'll make you my personal advisor."
"That's too much Your Majesty." Xiao Yi frowned, like a dislike for the idea.
"But you have very good thoughts and considerations in making a decision."
"I am your woman, Your Majesty. I devote myself to standing by you. And it's my job as your wife to exchange ideas on anything."
"If you become my personal advisor, then I will continue to be able to talk to you anything, without the need to keep any secrets with myself."
His Majesty's words felt a little piercing, like an insinuation, considering that he was currently keeping something big secret about his state, who was pregnant with this boy in front of him.
"A wife is her husband's counselor, like a husband guiding his wife. I'm not saying anything to a king, but I'm talking to my husband."
His Majesty could not help but embrace Xiao Yi, he was so happy to have dropped his heart on the right woman.
Xiao Yi placed his head on His Majesty's shoulders.
"Your Majesty...."
"Hm...."
"About concubine Yuan, may I say something."Xiao Yi's voice sounded slow and slightly hesitated.
"Yes, concubine Yuan has recovered as before, of course, thanks to your efforts, Chenxing. I will consider an homage to you. You deserve to be unveiled soon to be Furen's concubine."His Majesty stroked Xiao Yi's hair.
"Not about that." Xiao Yi pulled his head, now his eyes were rubbing a glance with His Majesty.
"What do you want to say?"
"Is Your Majesty, willing to release concubine Yuan?" Xiao Yi asked slowly.
"What do you mean, Chenxing?" His Majesty's eyes did not blink looking at Xiao Yi's face.
"Is His Majesty willing to divorce concubine Yuan?"
