The Queen Doesn't Want to Die
55. Wei Qian Nian Meet Pei Zhong Min
Lu Jing's state of ayu had still not improved after some time. This makes everyone anxious. Moreover, upon seeing that Lu Jing Yu's body which was originally thin became smakin thin. Both of Lu Jing Yu's cheeks looked thin. Almost near the camp. His pale face the entire time made the hollows of his eyes look deep.
Seeing Lu Jing Yu's declining state, Pei Zhang Xi became even more unbearable. But when he saw Lu Jing Yu's spirit still forcing him to eat even though he was born to be nauseous and vomiting, Pei Zhang Xi could only support him.
"Awhile more. My stomach's still nauseous." Lu Jing Yu pushed the spoon Pei Zhang Xi held out for him. Pei Zhang Xi sighed. To finish off a small bowl of rice in the morning, Lu Jing Yu spent up to two hours as he had to stop for five minutes being swallowed by one or two mouthfuls in order not to be regurgitated.
"Your Majesty, the emissary from the palace came looking for you." Mo Han walked into the room and reported.
"Well..." Pei Zhang Xi sighed. This was already the third call from the palace for him to return immediately for duty. But to leave Lu Jing Yu with her current condition she was completely unable to.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness is better off going to the palace at this time. Father has sent people here three times to ask His Majesty to come. I guess if this time Your Majesty doesn't come, I'll ask the envoy to drag Your Majesty away." Lu Jing Yu touched the back of Pei Zhang Xi's hand.
"But I really can't bear to leave you in this state."
"Haha. I'm not as weak as Your Majesty thinks. It just goes to the palace. His Majesty will return later in the evening. I won't do anything until then."
"The Empress is right, Your Majesty. This time the envoy carried an official warrant if His Majesty was not willing to come, the envoy was welcome to drag His Majesty down at any cost."
"It seems like this time I've been very angry with you."
"Go Your Majesty. I'm it's okay. Many people look after me in this residence." Lu Jing Yu looked at Pei Zhang Xi helplessly. Instead of approaching twice he persuaded Pei Zhang Xi to go to the palace, already dozens of times Lu Jing Yu did it tirelessly or gave up. But it was Pei Zhang Xi himself who was too stubborn to insist on staying beside Lu Jing Yu and accompanying her.
In his study, Emperor Pei An Long squeezed out his cup as Eunuch Song reminded him that the morning trial was about to begin in a moment.
"Just look if that kid didn't come today. Already made my head dizzy thinking of a way out due to his actions, still do not know themselves by not appreciating it." Cynics slam the cup on the table.
"I heard that the state of Empress Rui is still not stable Her Majesty."
"Pei Zhang Xi was overindulging him. Pregnant women are always like that. What to worry about to always take care of it day and night. It's not that the baby will come out sooner if she's waiting for him constantly." Grunts Emperor Pei An Long upset.
Eunuch Song who saw him rolled his eyeballs. Eunuch Song who was several years older than Emperor Pei An Long had been following him since he was young. Although Pei An Long did not remember how she was when concubine Su conceived Pei Zhang Xi, she did not remember, Eunuch Song who should always be the one to finish the task of checking the documents of Pei An Long remembered very well how difficult it was to become an Emperor who had to check a stack of documents every day.
The main hall of the Palace, the morning court.
Everyone was already sitting in their place neatly according to their status and position. Some of them were busy talking with their sitting colleagues discussing the issues they would present to the morning court that was regularly held every morning to evaluate and organize work for the entire department.
When everyone is busy discussing or checking their report files, a beautiful girl followed by her little maid was brought in by Kasim and they only realized that there was an extra seat sheath inside the court room today.
Inside the courtroom there was never even a woman who entered even the Queen unless there was a special situation. However when they recognized that the beautiful girl was the daughter of Eastern Chu who was brought home by Pei Zhang Xi two weeks ago, the, they began to guess that today the decision with whom this Eastern Chu Princess married would be decided.
By just sitting in his place, Wei Qian Nian managed to grab all the attention. Stopping everyone from the various activities they previously had. There was no one in the courtroom who did not pay attention to him. Even the princes who had mostly come and sat closest to him could not help but notice him.
"I wonder who that Eastern Chu Princess will marry." A minister spoke to his friend in a low voice
"In this empire there were only two unmarried princes at a suitable age. Prince Pei Qin Yang's wedding was also set. While Prince Pei Bai Xuan was already weak and sickly from small. Marrying her to Eastern Chu's daughter was also impossible."
"Aishis. There is currently competition for the position of crown prince among princes. I think wherever he gets married, that's where His Majesty the Emperor will take his side."
Wei Qian Nian sipped it out gracefully. Although his expression was calm without any ripples required like he had not heard a single one of their conversations, but his heart was already like a lake that was but the inclusion of stones. In the eyes of everyone in the room, his current position of lift was important so they hoped to guess the contents of the Emperor's heart by looking at it. However, only he understood that his position here meant nothing.
If his position was so important from the start, the Emperor would never so easily agree on the rejection that Pei Zang Xi had put in public that day. If his position was considered important, he would not be humiliated before everyone.
Everyone inside will be so eager to see where she will marry in the end. But she, Wei Qian Nian, would not be satisfied if it was not Pei Zhang Xi who would marry her. Because that man was the first man who had managed to attract his attention as well as being the first man who had rejected him.
Since the day Wei Qian Nian was rejected, he had decided that he would get Pei Zhang Xi at any cost.
"Daughter of Wei, introduce, I am Pei Zhong Min. The first prince in the Shao empire." Prince Pei Zhong Min who was right at the table beside him leaned in and asked.
"Greetings Your Majesty. Nice to meet you." Wei Qian Nian smiled kindly.
During his two weeks in the palace, he never once met any prince. At first he was astonished, but after he asked the servants, he found out that every corner of the palace had such arrangements and restrictions, so the chance to accidentally meet the prince was almost nonexistent. Moreover, all princes who have reached the age of marriage or are almost adults have to leave the palace and live in their respective homes. So Wei Qian Nian who wanted to find out about all the exhibits did not get any results during that time.
"I was also happy to meet this beautiful princess Wei. Are you used to being in this palace?" Continue Pei Zhong Min after he received a reply.
Wei Qian Nian's expression was still drawn on the surface with a smile that did not reach her eyes. But in his heart he was so disgusted to see the attitude of Pei Zhong Min who acted pretentiously with him.
