At the time Du Yun gonggong stepped forward to call out every guest of the banquet to rise from their seats and to pay respect before announcing the arrival of The Emperor, Han Yao Ying had just reached the qin wang’s table.
Han Yao Ying did not have time to stand behind the table with her husband when The Emperor entered the banquet with The Empress and The Empress Dowager behind him. With the help of a yahuan, Han Yao Ying kneeled down on the ground and her existence right away stole The Emperor’s attention.
“You all may rise.” The Emperor gave his permission for all
“Taizifei, this precious gifts was sent from the residence of Minister Jiang. Should nucai ask the other servants to take the other gifts to another room and leave the gifts from Minister Jiang here?”Xiao Gan Zi gonggong bowed to Jiang Xi Yu who was sitting at Yonghe Gate Hall, surrounded by many gifts that were sent out from all the royal families and members of the government. There were even a variety of rare plants which were sent to their residence and had to be placed outside the hall first before Jiang Xi Yu decided where to place it.Two servants brought trays and stood behind X
“Are you ready for the surgery?” A middle-aged nurse came in with a bright smile on her face. Right away she opened the curtain that has been blocking the sunlight that passes through the glass window. Then she approached my bed and started to pull off the hospital blanket that covered me from neck to my feet neatly. I have a schedule for a surgery shortly but she acted like this surgery was not a big deal. Another nurse showed up in my room. She stopped right beside my bed and as her eyes met mine she smiled earnestly. The moment I saw that smile, I knew she pitied me. We all knew all along that this surgery only gave me less than twenty percent possibility to be the normal girl I used to be. Few days ago, the head of team doctors came in while my family gathered ar
Luoyang CityThe rumbling of two horses racing pierced through the dark quiet night. Both horsemen appeared to try to outrun each other. The fear of being late for the meeting with their lord drove them to keep pushing their horse harder, charging ahead with intense urgency.Both may seem like two local rich young lords who just came out from the brothel. They were dressed in exquisite clothes, riding their horses from the famous prostitute’s area towards the riches’ mansions area in Luoyang City. The horses they were riding were not any regular horses but horses meant for the royal family.The first rider suddenly pulled back the reins. The horse he was riding immediately stopped then dramatically turned around. The second rider behind him was compelled to follow suit.They went back to one of the aisles they passed in the corner of the city. They were still near the famous prostitution area on the west side of Luoya
The moment Li Fei Long walked out from the inner chamber, Ming He and Qian Chang Xin rushed a few taijian in to tidy up the room and provide clean clothes and linens. Under Li Fei Long's orders, two yahuan entered the bedchamber to help the exhausted lady clean herself up.Purposely using the outer side of the room, Li Fei Long began questioning his people while he freshens up himself.“Who is she?” Li Fei Long asked calmly.Sensing the underlying chill of his question, Ming He and Qian Chang Xin quickly kneeled on the floor. They both knew how terrifying wangye could be. Under his calmness, Duan Qin Wang delivers a spine-chilling aura when he became angry.“Answering wangye’s question, nu cai found this young lady in the middle of an illegal human trafficking transaction on the way here. She claimed she had lost her memory after she got kidnapped.”
Lady Xing sat inside a grand carriage that was being pulled by four handsome looking horses. Li Fei Long’s head guard, Lou Sheng, led this entourage while Li Fei Long rode his favorite horse right in front of the grand carriage, between his guards. Li Fei Long’s grand entourage rode elegantly past the main street of Luoyang, mainly to give a good image of Li Fei Long in front of the Luoyang people.The two head eunuchs were riding on their own horses, each on the side of the grand carriage. Every time Lady Xing curiously peeped out of the carriage, Ming He or Qian Chang Xin cleared their throat as a sign of their disapproval. The commoners who were lining along the main street should not get to see her face.Before they took off, Ru Qing and Ru Ming prepared her to get ready for the one day and one night journey back to the capital city. Both briefed her on stuffs that she had to take note of.Only the four Qīn Wáng and The Gran
For almost a week Lady Xing resided in cui you yuan. She got Ru Qing and Ru Ming on her side. Simple food was sent by the kitchen staff daily but not as grand as she had when she was with Li Fei Long. But what can she expect? Technically she was living in someone else's residence for free.Cui you yuan was like a small cottage behind one big courtyard. The yard had bamboo plants on the backside which was a little spooky, but so far Lady Xing enjoyed her time away from too many prying eyes.According to Ru Qing, her existence actually brought a stir in the fu. Yu Wan ce fei and the two yiniang had been curious about her status in Li Fei Long’s heart. Since Lady Xing angered Li Fei Long greatly and Li Fei Long never once set foot in cui you yuan, the three women did not dare to confront Lady Xing directly.Lady Xing could not be even more grateful. If she still has to deal with not only one but thre
He thought his mood would return to normal after he released his anger and lust on Lady Xing the whole night inside cui you yuan. But it did not end up the way he wanted it to be. Something still did not feel right. Somehow, Li Fei Long felt guilty and it was also hard to send Lady Xing away.Li Fei Long left Lady Xing motionless, exhausted, and hurt just a few hours ago. He knew how hurt her feeling was since Li Fei Long saw her tears before she fell into deep sleep. Before leaving cui you yuan, he gave an order to Xiao Gan Zi to prepare some money for Lady Xing and to let herself decide when she will leave Duan Wang Fu.Back to his own living quarters, he spent some time hardening his feelings and maintaining his pride. His eyes caught the presence of a folded paper on the table in front of him and Li Fei Long let out a heavy sigh. He needed to get ready to start his day. He needed to start planning new gameplay as he was facing different c
“My Lady, we have arrived”. Ru Qing lifted up the curtain so Jiang Xi Yu could see how the people of Luoyang were getting prepared in the morning.Duke of Jiang’s entourage reached Luoyang just within almost eighteen hours of travel time. The road was rougher than the previous one. Jiang Xing Yu was thinking it might be because Li Fei Long’s grand carriage must be way steadier.“We arrived much faster than when we left this city with wang ye”. Jiang Xi Yu blurted out casually.She stuck out her head from the window to smell the morning scents. She saw her brother’s silhouette vaguely and she smiled proudly. In this era, her brother was one of the great generals. He has good posture. It would be funny if she mentions to him how he looks in the modern era.“My Lady, last time wang ye specifically ordered General Lou Sheng to choose a smoother road but slower. Wang ye want

Yanqi was strategically located along the Kaidu River. After submitting his resignation, The Great General Kong Li Jun retreated to Yanqi.When Duan Qin Wang led the war on The Northwest, The Great General Kong Li Jun was not directly involved. Even though he got an itch to join the war, he was unable to do so. His sons joined them and all he could do was just give the strategic war as support. The Great General Kong’s eldest son held the title as Commander Kong. He followed Duan Qin Wang to the Imperial City to receive his reward for his great involvement in the conquering mission of The Northwest. The Great General Kong was expecting his eldest son to get elevated.
On the day after, Minister Lin, Minister Feng, and Duan Qin Wang arrived at the Emperor's living hall almost at the same time. The three of them were bemused with the fact that The Grand Chancellor and the member of chancellery were already inside the hall and already started the audience with The Emperor.Du Yun gonggong held them outside and went back inside to inform The Emperor about their arrival.“Why did the Grand Chancellor bring all the members of the chancellery here and even arrive before us?” The Minister of Justice, Feng Luo Cheng, who was the oldest brother of Duchess of Jiang, exchanged looks with Minister Lin and
Du Yun gonggong directed some eunuch to place the wooden seat to face the side before Li Fei Long helped Jiang Xi Yu sit on it. All the twelve imperial taiyi already queued behind Li Fei Long and waited for Jiang Xi Yu to get comfortable on the seat before the senior taiyi started to examine Jiang Xi Yu’s pulse.When the first imperial taiyi started the examination, palace guards brought in Ashina Helu and his five subordinates. Each of them was held by two palace guards and got forced to kneel in front of The Emperor. That was the first time Jiang Xi Yu saw
The entourage back to the imperial city was completely different from the royal entourage during last year's summer vacation.General Jiang brought along half of his troops because they took Ashina Helu and his commanders along. Only Jiang Xi Yu, Chen Wang Fei and her maids were women. The summer retreat entourage seemed lively with all the noble women chattering and dressing in colorful dresses. But this victorious entourage gave a much different impression by the fierce appearance of war warriors.“This child of mine might be born with a stern face and a hard heart because while I am carrying now I have experienced many things. I hope this child will be strong just like right now. Carrying this child does not make me feel nauseous or sick.” Jiang Xi Yu gla
It was in the middle of the night. Li Fei Long was still awake and laying down next to Jiang Xi Yu who was sleeping soundly. Li Fei Long was still feeling the euphoria of being reunited with Jiang Xi Yu. His happiness was multiplied after knowing Jiang Xi Yu was pregnant with his child.Once again, Li Fei Long turned his head to his side to watch Jiang Xi Yu’s face. He smiled at his wife. His sight landed again on Jiang Xi Yu’s belly. Jiang Xi Yu's stomach was already a bit bulging. He wanted to touch his wife but he also could not bear if Jiang Xi Yu woke up because of him.He knew he would not be able to sleep that night. If he continued to lay down next to Jiang Xi Yu, would not be able to control himself not to touch his wife. So Li Fei Long decided to stand up and stay away from the bed.He go
“This official hereby declares the Xi Empire's victory over The Northwest territory. Thus, The Northwest is officially under Xi Empire authority.”The Grand Chancellor stood on the platform that was divided between the officials who attended the morning assembly with The Dragon Throne. He announced it proudly and let the officials before him kneeled and convey their congratulations to the Emperor. He waited until everyone calmed down a bit before continuing on delivering the announcement he had prepared under the Emperor's approval a moment ago.“Duan Qin Wang, Chen Qin Wang, General Jiang, The three Kings of the Northwest, Commander Bai, and Commander Kong succeeded in expanding the territory of the Xi Empire
Arriving at the closest barrack, Li Fei Long quickly found his yurt where Ming He and Qian Chang Xin were stationed there. The moment Li Fei Long arrived and was carrying Jiang Xi Yu in his hands, they rushed to prepare the bed pad inside the yurt before Li Fei Long put Jiang Xi Yu down there.“Ming He, quickly go call a physician to check on wang fei’s condition. Do not say a word about wang fei being here. Just say that ben wang needs a little assistance.” Li Fei Long gave the order after Jiang Xi Yu perfectly laid on the perfunctory bed pad. Without further discussion, Ming He went out of the yurt after accepting the order.
