Chapter 27

The Emperor’s Reward

Jun Qian Che who is wearing casual clothes steps into the hall.  The crowd of concubines quickly pays their respect: “Chenqie greets Your Majesty.”

Jun Qian Che didn’t think they will still be in Feng Yang Palace, he coldly dismisses them, “Forego the formality.”

“Thanking the emperor,” they quickly get up and promptly circles Jun Qian Che.

“Your Majesty, how is your illness?  No matter how important the court affairs are, you still need to mind your health!”

“Your Majesty, it has been a while since you last visited chenqie’s palace.  You used to love the tea that chenqie makes.  When will Your Majesty visit chenqie’s palace again?”

“Your Majesty, the flowers in the Imperial Garden has bloomed.  Would you like to view them with chenqie?”

Mo Qi Qi looks at this scene and secretly laughs.  The scene suddenly turns into that of wolves circling a lamb that is looking at her pitifully.   The amused Mo Qi Qi throws her head back and laughs even happier.  She suddenly feels as though a cold dagger is heading her way.  She lifts her head and sees Jun Qian Che looking at her icily.

She is startled and quickly erases that smile, replacing it with an elegant, dignified expression.  What Jun Qian Che means by that look is for her to send those concubines away.  It is very rare for her to see Jun Qian Che being surrounded helplessly like this, how can she do what he asks her to?  She immediately opens her mouth and speaks with grace, “Your Majesty, it is rare for Meimeis to see you.  They have been yearning for you.  Since you are not busy, why don’t you keep them company and chat with them?”

Jun Qian Che narrows his eyes and glares at her.  Mo Qi Qi shrugs and gives him a helpless look.

The concubines continue to fusses over him, “Your Majesty, don’t just stand. Please, sit.”

“Your Majesty, chenqie sees you are getting thinner lately.  Didn’t Yang Guifei serve you properly?”

“Yang Guifei has only entered the palace, she didn’t know Your Majesty’s favorite food.  You should go to chenqie’s palace, chenqie will personally cook for you!”
