Chapter 157
“Do I need to have a very important business so I can see Commander Liu? Should I make an appointment first?”
LiuFu smiled, picked up the teapot, and filled the cup on the table beside FengHan, slowly thrust the teacup in front of the young master who was turning eighteen years old, a face that caught the eye from all sides, something that couldn’t distract LiuFu from him.
“Young master Feng can come here anytime you want, it just, I’m afraid that if you don’t inform me of your arrival, I might not be there at that time, then your trip here won’t just be in vain?”
FengHan accepted the cup of tea that was stretched out in front of him.
“Hehe Commander Liu, then, next time I’ll make an appointment first not to disturb your busy schedule.”
After hearing that LiuFu chuckled, couldn’t help but look at Fenghan’s cute face when he said that.
“Heheheh this young master FengHan is indeed very understanding”
Both of them enjoyed their free time quite leisurely, Commander Liu thought his guest was also quite important as Governor Feng had always been supportive of their affairs while in the city, due to frequent visits to the city, since In the past few years, Commander Liu who had known FengHan since he was a teenager had become so close to each other, it could be said to be close friends.
.....
.........
Crack.
The sound of the door of the Emperor’s study being opened from outside, advisor Yao just put the roll of report files on the Emperor’s desk when he saw the special guard who excused himself to enter, the permanent guard of the Emperor’s palace immediately lowered his body and kneel in front of the Emperor who was so serious about reading his daily report.
“Report Your Majesty, reports from monitoring, commander Liu has started to move, according to the orders of the Crown Prince the soldiers under commander Liu managed to attack and incapacitate one of the bases that are known to belong to the Black Water Clan, and take captive several people living in the SuiLian branch headquarters.”
The Emperor stopped his hands from turning the report sheet in front of him, raised his head to see the guard who was still kneeling in front of him, he stroked his chin.
“Hem, that kid acted fast, he really didn’t play around when he said he would uncover the Clan even as far as SuiLian, then, did they find the WahYe royal family’s refugee base?” he asked, the young guard still kneeling in front of him shaking his head.
“Not yet Your Majesty, according to the informant Commander Liu only captured a few minor guards of the Black Water Clan, and found no clue about the whereabouts of the main headquarters or even the royal family’s refugee base or anything.”
The Emperor took a deep breath, he leaned his back thoughtfully as he folded his arms in his stomach. He waved his hand to disperse the guard to withdraw from his place, after the guard retreated and the door was tightly closed, the Emperor glanced at YaoLie beside him.
“Hem, old man Yao, do you think it’s true that there are still some remaining palace family refugees who are still in exile? After all this time we’ve been trying to find them but to no avail”
YaoLie bowed his head.
“Report Your Majesty, whether it’s true or not I think the threat didn’t come from them, there was another group that was behind the rebellion, according to my practical opinion, rebelling was not an option for the rest of the WahYe palace family from the start, even though I only met the refugee leader when I was young but I believe that most of the royal family want nothing more than to live in peace.”
The Emperor nodded.
“I think so too, but the possibility is there, Yao, the new generation of the royal family, ranging from teens to young adults, those youngsters may have different thoughts from their parents, keep an eye on their movements, and don’t forget, Inside the Crown Prince’s palace there is a young prince WahYe who we don’t know what he wants yet, keep an eye on it but don’t arouse suspicion, I don’t want that brat to accused me of being ridiculous.”
YaoLie lowered his head.
“Yes Your Majesty”
....
BaiYing widened his eyes hearing the news from concubine Lui in between their painting class was over.
“What? Meals invitation? Uh, invite, ChenMing too?” BaiYing asked, LuiFan nodded.
“Yeah, she’s also curious about your cousin, since His Highness the Crown Prince invited him in and Her Majesty the Queen hasn’t had time to visit because of her busy schedule, she’s very curious because people’s said your cousin looks so much like you”
Hearing that BaiYing stuttered, was everyone told that ChenMing was his cousin? The news in this palace spread very quickly, indeed the wall was eared, the young man scratched his head while glancing at FuLan who was sitting beside him.
“Em, that, Ying’er, need to ask His Highness the Crown Prince’s permission first, because, he’s the one who invited ChenMing to enter the palace, em,”
LuiFan waved her hand.
“Well of course you have to get permission first, don’t let Your Majesty get angry later”
The next morning at the Queen’s Jade Pavilion.
The Queen looked at ChenMing who came with BaiYing and the other concubines that morning, looked up, down, front, back, saw his face and charming tall stature that perfectly matched the beautiful clothes he was wearing,
“Hehehe please sit down, owh this young man, it is very similar to Yen’er, Yen’er is your mother’s family from outside YueYang country? He has a very unusual handsome face.” asked the Queen, ChenMing who felt praised by the queen could not hide his blushing cheeks.
BaiYing frowned, it should be, since his mother is indeed a foreigner, he nodded slowly.
“Um, yeah.”
The Queen pulled BaiYing’s hand towards the chair that had been provided with lots of snacks on the round table, some of the waiters were still seen passing by and taking out other food.
“Come on, let’s eat, Yen’er is getting thinner, look at your cheekbones, looks like a skeleton.”
BaiYing held his cheek.
“Really, Your Highness? But His Highness the Crown Prince always said my cheeks were round, he said Ying’er was too fat”
“Don’t listen to that brat, that brat, is so happy to see people starving, look at your wrists, it’s so skiny, mother’s is bigger than yours, you have to eat more”
Baiying could not hide his excitement, the Queen even calls herself mother in front of him, really very touching.
“Hehe well Your Majesty, Yen’er will eat a lot”
The Queen took some side dishes and put them into BaiYing’s bowl, while concubines Fu and Lui were also busy serving themselves, aYa did not miss to enjoy all the food that was so pleasing to the eye, and it looks really delicious, even though some of the food looks foreign to her eyes, while ChenMing subconsciously couldn’t take his eyes off BaiYing who was smiling so wide that his cheeks all rounded, his face was really lovely, that’s why the Queen liked him so much, does he cast the spell on them? certain things that make everyone serve him?
“Let me serve myself, Your Majesty,” said BaiYing, but the Queen did not let BaiYing’s hand touch the bowl.
“Let it be, this old lady is happy to serve you,”
BaiYing was clumsy, he couldn’t move much.
“Hehehe Your Majesty”
It’s getting midday when the breakfast ended, BaiYing’s maids were busy carrying bags of snacks that the Queen gave BaiYing to take home, nothing was more enjoyable than a very good meal, everyone knew that was Concubine Hua’s favorite more than anything. All the way home, BaiYing chatted very intimately with aYa and the others.
“Hehehe, that fruit pickle earlier, was a little spicy, but it was so delicious, I couldn’t hold back my saliva,” said Lan’er, Fan’er agreed.
“Yeah, too bad it’s just a little, Her Majesty the queen really knows good food, hopefully, we are invited to eat like this again next time” continued Fan’er.
AYa walked beside BaiYing who was walking very leisurely while waving his hands at his sides, patting his full stomach.
“Wow, my stomach feels so full, tonight Your Majesty will definitely say Ying’er is fat again, that person, even though Her Majesty Queen Ying’er doesn’t think I’m fat.”
AYa straightened BaiYing’s long hair which was blown by the wind into a mess.
“Ying’er is still very thin, must eat a lot, don’t listen to that crazy person.”
BaiYing turned his head, holding back laughter at the expression on aYa’s face, who had also eaten quite a lot, it was the first time seeing the princess eat so voraciously.
“Hehehe if His Majesty hears you call him a madman he can get angry”
“That person can only be angry, he is rude and heartless” continued AYa.
BaiYing frowned, he thought.
“Really? He’s not that bad, His Majesty is very gentle, kind, although a bit naughty but he always provides the best food for Ying’er, also, em massages Ying’er’s feet when it sore, combs Ying’er’s hair”
AYa glanced at BaiYing with sharp eyes.
“Is Ying’er blind? Which part is gentle? Ying’er must occasionally see it outside, if it is towards you, he has to be very gentle, how could make this sweet Ying’er be upset or sad.”
BaiYing who heard aYa’s teasing tone grabbed the girl’s hand.
“Aya, don’t take this to heart if Your Majesty is a bit rude, sometimes he is like that, but, actually in his heart he is very kind”
AYa pulled her lips again.
“Never mind, stop talking about that crazy person, let’s go home, I’m really tired” AYa pulling BaiYing’s hand and quickening her pace.
BaiYing laughed, this aYa he knows now is really very different from the aYa he first met in the city at that time, now, that girl looks more lively, as if she’s become a new young girl.
“Hahaha this aYa”
