Finally a short chapter.

Chapter 62: Getting Along

“Emperor, it is time for morning court.”

At the fixed shichen, the fixed voice and even the same pitch sounded. Qing Feng finally know the reason why regardless of how tired the day was before or how late he slept the night before, Yan Hong Tian could wake up immediately when the first time this voice sounded. If you have woken up everyday at this same time and heard this same voice for over ten years, you will also wake. Now even she would also wake up at this time.

Chapter 61: Palpitations

“Mistress.” When Fu Ling came back, she was just in time to see Ru Yi slightly lowering her head and standing by Qing Feng’s side obediently. Having guessed the outcome, Fu Ling’s expression was as usual her eyes expressed the clarity and cool. However it was Ru Yi that felt nervous.

“Withdraw.”

A quick peek to the inner workings of the Emperor’s mind. Who knows you best? Definitely your enemy.

And Qing Feng is just SOOOOOO COOL!!!! *Squeel* You don’t need a loud voice or fierce look so that others will fear you. Just a few questions and the finger tapping will do just fine.

Chapter 60: Loyalty

The number of high ranks officials and dignitaries were as plentiful as perch (type of fish) in the river and there were many numerous wealthy residences around. But there was one residence which apart from the rest, other than the Imperial Residences outside the capital, it was the largest estate which was owned by the Imperial Censor Xin Sui. It was not because the rank of the Imperial Censor was high but it was because the Xin family had been supporting the Emperor since the founding of the Yan family founded the nation. That year of the founding, the Qiong Yue’s Emperor bestowed this piece of Imperial Land to the Xin Family which showed the unimaginable importance. Even though the Xin family was incomparable from then and now, but all three generations were assisting the Imperial family and Xin Sui’s daughter was the mother of the nation. The Xin family was known to everybody in this Imperial City.

The Xin manor was the most unique. In the middle of the compound, there stood and individual house which was three stories tall. Other than the first story that was used for work discussions, the other stories were all filled with books. This could be seen that the ancestors of the Xin family were literary personnels. Zishi (11 pm – 1 am) had long passed but the room still remained bright. Behind the mahogany study table, there sat a sixty over years old man who was holding a cup of hot tea with a hidden sharp look in his eyes but a normal expression on his face, as if he was appreciating the sweet mellow taste of the tea. Two male stood by each side of the study table, one was over thirty over years old with a jittery face of displeasure, the other was a twenty five or six but had a calm appearance.

A chapter where we could get a glimpse of Yan Hong Tian’s mind…

Chapter 59: I Do Not Know

After finishing dinner, Qing Feng just sat by the window to read and Fu Ling was quietly accompanying her by the side. During the daytime, time was of the essence and she was always worried if anything would go wrong in the middle and did not thought about many things. Now that it was much quieter, she no longer felt flustered. They framed the Empress Dowager and liaising with a Prince of an enemy. If there were any flaws, it would be an offence that would cause the entire clan to be killed. That day Lou Furen also did not have time to elaborate the matter to Mistress but Mistress still exhaust all her abilities to do it. She was moved by the deep feelings of both sisters. Fu Ling quietly looked up and saw Qing Feng. She was quiet all the time but Fu Ling knew that she was certainly unsettled because she had not even turn the page of the book in her hand.

The time to light the lanterns has just passed when there were some noise outside the hall. It was not very loud but one could hear the hurried footsteps outside. However it was soon quieten down. Fu Ling frowned and wanted to go out to check it but Qing Feng grabbed her wrist and said quietly, “Don’t go.”

Bad news… Please don’t beat me up…

I got loaded with more stuff in office and because of all the overtime, I would not be able to churn out 3 chapters per week. 😦 I am sorry to announce there will be 2 chapters out per week and the schedules would be changed to Monday and Thursday (same timing) instead. Once the work stuff are completed (I presume it would take about 2 – 3 months), I hope that no more are added to my workload so that I can go back to 3 chapters a week…

Chapter 58: Reaching Out A Helping Hand (Part 3)

When Fu Ling saw Ming Ze, she silently cursed her luck. When Ming Ze saw Fu Ling’s face clearly, he too furrowed his brows but it was very light that those who were not very familiar with him would not be able to tell. So in Fu Ling’s perspective, she was facing a cold and expressionless face.

Thinking of the things hidden on her, Fu Ling was a little nervous and was afraid that Ming Ze could see so she lowered her head and did not meet Ming Ze’s eyes.

Xi Xia Palace

In front of the hall there was a small garden, the flowers have fallen and there were only a few clusters of flowers left. A dark purple clad woman held a pair of scissors as she carefully trim the leaves and there was a gentle loving smile on her face.

Chapter 56: Reaching Out A Helping Hand (Part 1)

Qing Feng Hall

The tree that was planted in the courtyard had shaded almost half of the entire courtyard and there was a simple swing hanging for the thick branch, which was swaying with the autumn wind. Under the tree, there laid a female on a couch with both eyes closed. Her face was calm and her abdomen was slightly protruding, like a pregnant female of six months. Two palace maids quietly stood behind her with their heads slightly bowed and even their breathing were careful so as not to disturb their mistress dream.

Chapter 55: Thoughts In A Whirl (Part 2)

Qing Feng did not have time to ponder when that familiar bright yellow figure appeared outside her door. Qing Feng greeted with a slight bow, “Long live the Emperor.”

Yan Hong Tian entered and used one hand to support Qing Feng up. His eyes landed on her protruding abdomen and there was a trace of anxiety that flashed across his eyes but it soon faded. Holding Qing Feng’s hands and smiling, “Didn’t Zhen said before that beloved concubine do not need to perform greetings.”
