Chapter 147 Have no sense of shame (1)
“Why did the emperor send a secret guard? Could it be to come catch us in act?!” After hearing Feng Cang, Murong Qi Qi immediately sat up excitedly. “Is he already on the way? What do we need to do?!”
Murong Qi Qi didn’t notice that after Feng Cang saw this little woman being so excited about ‘catching in act’, he reached out and pulled her into his arms, “What to do? Of course, it’s to do some things that would let people misunderstand!”
“Cang…I am talking about serious things with you!” Murong Qi Qi’s face got hot. She reached out and grabbed Feng Cang’s restless big hand. “How do you plan to deal with Xia Yun Xi?! Seeing her appearance, she seemed to be set on you!”
“Doesn’t Qing Qing believe in me?” Feng Cang turned over his body and held Murong Qi Qi under his body…
“Not that I don’t believe you…I’m only worried that woman would use underhanded means…Mm, don’t…I’m talking with you!”
“I already let Ji Xiang watch over her. Nothing will happen!” Feng Cang’s lips fell on Murong Qi Qi’s earlobe. “Xia Yun Xi’s emperor father and my mother are half-brother and sister (same father, different mothers). Her grandmother is my grandmother’s junior sister. The one who poisoned my mother is her…”
“So, she should call you cousin brother?”
“Hehe, to be exact, we’re enemies…”
“Why don’t we catch her and use her to exchange the fetal poison in your body!”
“If you don’t concentrate, I’ll punish you!”
The person in black squatted outside Long Autumn palace and stared at the situation inside until morning. When the sky didn’t turn bright yet, he heard a “squeak” sound. The door opened. Feng Cang came out of the chamber in full spirits. Before he left, he gently closed the door as if he was afraid to disturb Murong Qi Qi’s sweet dreams.
Sure enough, there’s adultery! The person in black lamented very much in his heart. There’s too many horror things these times! Big brother stayed in the little sister’s room. If this thing gets out, it would be an explosive news, ah!
The person in black reported Feng Cang’s situation to Wanyan Lie. Hearing this news, Wanyan Lie’s was in a great mood. If Feng Cang didn’t bother with the proper human relations.h.i.+p and really be together with Murong Qi Qi, then when will their child be born? Maybe, this child already existed now!
Thinking about the child, Wanyan Lie inexplicably got excited. If there’s a child, what should he gift this child? At least, the child’s parents were brave. They did the thing he wanted to do in the past, but didn’t dare to do it.
The person in black could feel the joy from the body of the man wearing a dragon robe in front of him. Although, he didn’t know where this joy came from, but the person in black kept his kneeling position, and didn’t dare to have the slightest neglect.
“Emperor, it’s time for the morning court meeting!” Jing De came to Wanyan Lie’s side, dragging him from his feverish fantasy back to the reality.
“Alright!” Wanyan Lie tidied up her clothes. Before he left, he repeatedly reminded the person in black, “Continue keep watch. Report at any time their things to zhen.”1
On the morning court, the officials discovered that the emperor’s mood was very good today. From beginning to end, Wanyan Lie kept a touch of smile. Besides, his mind wandered for several times. He needed Jing De to remind him before he got his mind back.
After the morning court, the officials gathered in groups of three and four people. They wanted to know what good things had happened for such an abnormal behavior to appear on the always calm and collected Wanyan Lie.
Some people guessed that the emperor got a new favorite concubine and filled the vacancy Yue Lan Zhi left. Some people say because the treasury was filled which made the emperor happy. There were also people who said that Nan Lin w.a.n.g2 and Dong Lu’s princess Xia Yu Xi’s good matter was near. The emperor could get the fishery through a marriage alliance. That was why he was happy…
All kinds of rumors in the end merged and spread to Wanyan Yi. Especially, after hearing that everyone was guessing about Feng Cang and Xia Yun Xi, Wanyan Yi couldn’t help but clench his fists. If emperor father really thinks like this, then what should he do?
Inside Nan Lin w.a.n.gfu,3 the moment Xia Yun Xi woke up early in the morning, she had been boiling chicken soup. The small fire boiled slowly. Just right for Feng Cang to come back from the morning court; he would be able to drink a delicious chicken soup. While Xia Yun Xi fanned next to the small stove, she was reveled in her own virtuousness.
Before, at White Cloud Restaurant, Murong Qi Qi said that Feng Cang like virtuous women the most. Like her, not only is she virtuous, have a strong background, ident.i.ty and also such a rich dowry. Even if Feng Cang light up the lanterns, he wouldn’t be able to find another! Who wouldn’t be attracted to her?!
“Princess, w.a.n.gye returned!” Hong Ye trotted back and panted. The moment she reached Guanyu building, she reported to Xia Yun Xi the news she inquired.
“Really?!” Xia Yun Xi was so happy, she almost knocked over the chicken soup. Feng Cang returned. This is the time for her to show a good performance!
Xia Yun Xi let people bring the chicken soup out with a ladle and let a small palace maid hold it. After that, she was escorted by Hong Ye to Tingsong building
After personally going this time, did Xia Yun Xi discover that Guanyu building and Tingsong building were so far from each other. Although the winter was over and the spring just began, but she was used to use a sedan usually. When had she walked so far?
“Stop…rest for a while. I can’t walk anymore!” Xia Yun Xi sat on a stone bench. Her hands rubbed her legs. Why is Nan Lin w.a.n.gfu so big, ah?! Till when does she have to walk before she could see Feng Cang, ah?!
Hong Ye squatted to ma.s.sage Xia Yun Xi’s legs. All the way, Xia Yun Xi had been resting. The originally one-hour route had been walked more than two hours by her. Now, there’s still a great distance between Tingsong building. According to Xia Yun Xi’s way of walking, they may not even reach it at night.
“Princess, if you continue to rest, when the chicken soup reaches w.a.n.gye’s , it would be cold!”
Hong Ye carefully reminded at a side. Hearing her mention the chicken soup, Xia Yun Xi immediately stood up. “Right, right, right, how could I forget that?! If the chicken soup gets cold, it won’t be tasty! Feng Cang’s body is not good, naturally he can’t eat cold things! Hong Ye let’s go, let’s quickly go!”
When Xia Yun Xi arrived at Tingsong building, her pair of legs were almost ruined. From young till now, Xia Yun Xi had never walked such a long way. This time, she broke the rule for Feng Cang.
Originally, Xia Yun Xi wanted to enter directly, but she was blocked by Ruyi. Knowing that it won’t be easy to see Feng Cang, Xia Yun Xi directly adopted a gentle policy, “This little brother, bothering you to go inside and inform w.a.n.gye, saying that Dong Lu’s princess Yun seek a meeting.”
“w.a.n.gye is dealing with the government affairs. He doesn’t allow anyone to disturb him.”
“However, bengong 4 came a very long way to let w.a.n.gye drink the soup bengong personally boiled. This little brother, help a bit out and give a bit convenience!” Xia Yun Xi gave Hong Ye a glance. Hong Ye immediately took out a silver ingot with the worth of ten liang and gave it to Ruyi.
Ruyi didn’t reject and generously received the money. Originally, Xia Yun Xi thought that after getting the money, Ruyi would make way. She didn’t expect that he still blocked in front of her and didn’t let her go in.
“w.a.n.gye said that he doesn’t want to see anyone.”
“You…” Seeing that Ruyi received an advantage and didn’t give a convenience, Xia Yun Xi’s face got red. “Bengong is princess Yun. It’s your majesty who let me move into Nan Lin w.a.n.gfu! You’re only a slave. Blocking bengong here, what kind of ability is that?! Get out of the way, bengong wants to see Feng Cang!”
“Although I’m a slave, but I’m w.a.n.gye’s slave and only listens to w.a.n.gye’s orders.”
Ruyi puffed face made Xia Yun Xi very angry. “Bengong boiled the chicken soup w.a.n.gye loves the most. You use all sort of excuses to not let bengong see w.a.n.gye. Later, when the chicken soup gets cold, would you be able to bear responsibility?!”
Hearing Xia Yun Xi said that, Ruyi laughed once.
“Who said our w.a.n.gye loves chicken soup the most? If our w.a.n.gye touch chicken meat, his whole body would get allergy. In his life, he hates chicken the most, not to mention chicken soup. In this w.a.n.gfu, there isn’t even one living chicken! Princess, where did you hear these? Haha, fortunately I blocked you. If you went inside, the moment w.a.n.gye sees that it’s chicken soup, he would certainly turn the table over and think you want to harm him!”
Ruyi’s half true and half false words stopped Xia Yun Xi, “What? w.a.n.gye can’t eat chicken?”
“I won’t lie to you! If I let you in and because of this soup, w.a.n.gye gets annoyed, I would also be punished.”
After Ruyi said this, Xia Yun Xi began to somewhat believe it. It was clear that someone wanted to sabotage her!
Thinking till here, Xia Yun Xi turned her head and glared at Hong Ye. Hong Ye was startled and immediately knelt in front of her, “Princess, this slave really heard it from this w.a.n.gfu’s people. Even if this slave has a very big gut, but this slave wouldn’t dare to fool princess, ah!”
“It’s really not you?” If you say, Xia Yun Xi’s heart was a calm water, then Ruyi’s words were a small stone. Throwing it and with a ‘splash’ sound a circle of ripples would appear.
“Princess, this slave, like princess had just entered w.a.n.gfu not long ago. How would this slave know that w.a.n.gye is allergic to chicken?! This slave followed you for so many years, presumably princess knows more than anyone what kind of person this slave is!”
Although Hong Ye followed Xia Yun Xi since little and is her confidante, but meeting with Feng Cang’s matter, Xia Yun Xi would still lose her reasoning. Immediately, two slaps went to Hong Ye’s delicate face, “Lowly slave! You set up bengong! Fortunately, this little brother told bengong the truth, otherwise, wouldn’t bengong have harmed w.a.n.gye!”
“This slave is innocent, ah! Princess, this slave is innocent!” Hong Ye wore two red handprints, her mouth kept shouting innocent and her head knocked heavily on the ground. It happened that here was a stone road. Hong Ye only knocked three or four times, her head already swelled up like a purple bag.
Hong Ye kept shouting innocent. Her intonation was tearful. Xia Yun Xi wasn’t moved because of this. Her eyes stared at Tingsong building. She wanted to make trouble to cause Feng Cang to come out.
It was just, Xia Yun xi calculated wrongly. Feng Cang knew that she was about to come, he had long left w.a.n.gfu. Now, it was only Xia Yun Xi standing foolishly outside Tingsong building.
After waiting for a long time, not a sound came out of the building. Xia Yun Xi got anxious. She sacrificed Hong Ye for Feng Cang. Hong Ye’s head was already broken because of the knocks. Could this still not move Feng Cang? He refused to come out and take one glance at her?
Although, it had been some time that she arrived at Bei Zhou, but Xia Yun Xi didn’t even got to see Feng Cang’s face. So, she boiled chicken soup and brought it over. She didn’t think that this message was w.a.n.gfu’s slaves fooling her.
Xia Yun Xi knew that Hong Ye was not to blame. However, to see Feng Cang once, she couldn’t not use the trick of injuring oneself to gain the enemy’s confidence. Xia Yun Xi wanted to let Feng Cang know through punis.h.i.+ng Hong Ye, that as long as the matter is related to him, she would fully protect him and she hoped to move Feng Cang. However, it seemed that Feng Cang doesn’t allow himself to be pushed around.
The pair of master and servant in front of him couldn’t help but let Ruyi get feel sick. He had never seen such a master. When meeting with things, she would let the slave block it! Seeing that Xia Yun Xi got impatient from waiting and wanted to rush inside, Ruyi pulled out his sword without a trace of politeness and stopped in front of Xia Yun Xi.
“Presumptuous!” Seeing Ruyi use his weapon, Xia Yun Xi’s expression turned dark, “Do you know who bengong is? You actually dared to use force on bengong!”
“You’re a princess, but my master is w.a.n.gye! w.a.n.gye said to not allow anyone to put one step into Tingsong building, otherwise, kill without pardon! Princess, don’t force me!”
From Xia Yun Xi’s point of view, Ruyi was just a slave. He was so humble, he couldn’t even be compared to ants. Now, he was the fox exploiting the tiger’s might. He kept saying that it was Feng Cang’s meaning and blocked her outside of Tingsong building. This was obviously stopping her and didn’t want to let her see Feng Cang.
“Get out of the way! Bengong wants to see w.a.n.gye!” Xia Yun Xi wasn’t scared. Since, she wasn’t scared of Ruyi, she wanted to force her way in. The next moment, a cool air appeared on her neck. It turned out, Ruyi’s sword was already on her neck. A bit closer, it would cut her beautiful throat and let her become a corpse.
The small palace maid who carried the chicken soup, the moment she saw this situation, she was scared that her hand got loose. The food tray in her hand fell on the ground. The chicken soup spilled and sprinkled all over the place.
“Princess, don’t get angry!” Hong Ye found out that the momentum wasn’t right. She quickly stood up and pulled Xia Yun Xi.
“Princess, here is Bei Zhou. Everyone knows that Nan Lin w.a.n.g is temperamental. If you offend him, maybe…,” Hong Ye didn’t finish her sentence, but she told Xia Yun Xi the truth. This is Feng Cang’s territory. You, ah, should be a bit more leisurely. After all, there were so many rumors about Feng Cang. Even if he really killed Xia Yun Xi, at this time, no one would come save her.
“Humph!” Xia Yun Xi stomped and glared ferociously at Ruyi, “You wait! When bengong becomes Nan Lin w.a.n.gfei,5 bengong will let you see (suffer)!”
Ruyi’s obstruction made Xia Yun Xi even more determined to see Feng Cang and to become his woman. He’s just a small guard and dared to be so arrogant. She must become Feng Cang’s woman. By then, she’ll let Ruyi suffer and avenge for today’s humiliation!
Xia Yun Xi left angrily. When she left, she was urgent and stepped on her skirt. Like eating dog’s p.o.o.p, she fell on the ground, making Ruyi laugh out loudly.
“Princess!” Hong Ye and the small palace maid quickly stepped forward to support Xia Yun Xi. They didn’t expect, the moment she got up, the first thing she did was give each one of them a slap in the face. Then, she turned her head and glared once at Ruyi.
“Let’s go!”
Xia Yun Xi had never received such humiliation. The one who gave her grimaces of displeasure was just a slave. How could the anger be eliminated from Xia Yun Xi’s heart?
After returning to Guanyu building, Xia Yun Xi was already tired half to death. Plus, the fact that she was humiliated, she was angry and annoyed. Her charming face was very red.
“Hong Ye, when will eldest senior brother and third senior brother arrive?”
“Princess, sir Misha and sir Jia Lan must be on the way. Sir Misha is unable to move freely. Presumably, they will delay for some days.”
“Humph!” Xia Yun Xi hit the porcelain cup on the ground. “When eldest senior brother and third senior brother arrive, I will let them see! Feng Cang is mine. No one can stop my determination to become Nan Lin w.a.n.gfei! This man is mine. I will definitely not give up!”
Regardless of how ugly Xia Yun Xi cursed, Feng Cang couldn’t hear it. At this time, he was at Long Autumn palace, keeping Murong Qi Qi company.
Since Feng Xie disguised and entered Long Autumn palace with Murong Qi Qi, he spent all his time accompanying Wanyan Ming Yue. Feng Xie wanted to make up for the many days and night he was separated from Wanyan Ming Yue. He also hoped that Wanyan Ming Yue could wake up sooner from the deep sleep and let their family be reunited.
Feng Xie was like this, Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi also thought like that. The two also made as much time as possible to take turns and keep Wanyan Ming Yue company.
Murong Qi Qi and Jin Mo also prepared an herbal tea fitted for Wanyan Ming Yue. Plus, the fluid food, Feng Xie personally fed it to Wanyan Ming Yue.
Feng Cang came to Long Autumn palace; one, was to accompany Murong Qi Qi. Second, was because he didn’t want to see Xia Yun Xi. Now, Xia Yun took the imperial decree and moved into Nan Lin w.a.n.gfu. If something happens to her, he would become the biggest suspect. So, Feng Cang temporarily hid from this ‘plague’.
However, today, Feng Cang calculated wrongly. Because, after Xia Yun Xi hit the wall at Tingsong building, she rested a while and then ‘killed’ to the palace. Her purpose was to find Murong Qi Qi.
After returning to Guanyu building, the more Xia Yun Xi thought about it, the angrier she got. She’s the dignified Dong Lu’s princess. She was actually played by those servants of w.a.n.gfu. First, she got the wrong information. Then, a sword was directly put on her neck by Ruyi. This let her no matter what couldn’t swallow this anger.
However, now, she’s alone, without help in Bei Zhou and with no one to support her. Feng Cang didn’t even want to see her. This really made Xia Yun Xi’s heart hurt. While hurting, Xia Yun Xi remembered Murong Qi Qi.
Regardless of the rumors from the outside were true or false; no matter how the relations.h.i.+p between Murong Qi Qi and Feng Cang was impossible to unravel, but at least, she’s Feng Cang’s biological little sister. They had blood ties that couldn’t be severed. If she could work on Murong Qi Qi and get Murong Qi Qi’s support, maybe, it would be easier to deal with Feng Cang.
Thinking till here, Xia Yun Xi soaked in a bath and washed the tiredness from her body. She put on new clothes and went to the palace.
“Princess, Xia Yun Xi is asking to see you!”
Murong Qi Qi just came from the underground palace with Feng Cang. Su Mei came to them and said that Xia Yun Xi came. The moment Murong Qi Qi heard this, she exchanged a glance with Feng Cang. This woman really lingered everywhere. She actually came to Long Autumn palace.
“Cang, isn’t it better if you withdraw for a moment?! I fear that after that infatuated flower sees your ‘countenance of a flower, face like a moon’ appearance, water would flood Long Autumn palace and make here full of saliva.”
Murong Qi Qi’s words revealed a sour taste. She looked carefully at this man’s unordinary devilish beautiful face. She sighed deeply. Why be so devilish beautiful, ah? Fondling the flowers and trampling the gra.s.s everywhere. It would take a long time to shoot all those small flies away.
How could Feng Cang not understand Murong Qi Qi’s gaze? He pulled her in his arms. A deep kiss locked her lips. He used action to express his true feelings.
Su Mei saw this couple kiss like there was no one around, her face got red. Now, it’s during the day. Miss and guye6 are already like this…Cough, cough, really didn’t pay attention to the location! At a side, there’s still her, this unmarried girl! They’re not afraid to lead her astray!
“Is Qing Qing satisfied?” After a long time, Feng Cang let go of Murong Qi Qi’s lips. Looking at her swollen pinkish lips and her slight panting, Feng Cang’s finger brushed over Murong Qi Qi’s sideburn, “Be good! Wait for me at night!”
Feng Cang’s words let Su Mei’s face burn to red completely. Really, shy to dead! Miss and guye are too much of that!
