Chu Wang Fei

by Ning er

  Everyone also heard that in the tone of Hai Tian is full of challenge at Yun Qian Meng. They also know that the junzhu that lives in Hai wangfu has great ambition. And because she has the looks and the talent, she is very arrogant. Seeing that Meng er has shone in cooking, presumably the heart of this junzhu is unhappy. She must make Yun Qian Meng into a fool.

  When everyone thought that Yun Qian Meng has been intimidated by Hai Tian’s challenge, Yun Qian Meng still has a calm expression. The tone of her voice is indifferent. The slight smile on her face turned deeper.

  “Junzhu’s speech is wrong. To can be in junzhu’s eyes, its Qian Meng’s honor. But today is waizumu’s birthday. Qian Meng has already offered a gift, how can I occupy the time for others to offer their gifts? Qian Meng’s san jiujiu and shi jiujiu waited for a long time outside. Even if Qian Meng is really talented, but I also understood that today’s star is waizumu. How can I steal the limelight?”

  One speech to retreat, turning from the defensive to the offensive, making the aggressive Hai Tian even if she has fire in her heart but she couldn’t release it. That pair of eyes looked at Yun Qian Meng. Then she looked at the higher seats. The empress dowager’s expression isn’t as good as before. Hai Tian forced herself to swallow the anger in her heart. She smiled at Yun Qian Meng: “Since it’s like that, it’s Hai Tian who overstepped her bounds. If there’s another opportunity, I would like to learn poetry and literature with Miss Yun.”

  Lao Tai Jun has always protected her family. Seeing that Hai Tian still dared to be so arrogant at her place, the smiling eyes cooled down. And she also saw that Yun Qian Meng was busy for half a day but didn’t get to have a meal yet, she said considerately: “Meng er and Fei er, go down and have a meal.”

  Yun Qian Meng knows that Lao Tai Jun said that for her. She bowed with Qu Fei Qing and went out.

  “Look at what I just said. That Hai Tian is obviously not a good person.”

  Going out of the yuan, Qu Fei Qing began to fight for justice. Just now, if it wasn’t because of Yun Qian Meng’s clever reply, she would have rushed forward and set Hai Tian straight.

  At this moment, there isn’t any anger detected on Yun Qian Meng. She pleasantly took a deep breath. She shook Qu Fei Qing’s arm and said: “Meng er knows that biaojie loves Meng er the most. However if biaojie got angry, doesn’t that mean that you fell into that person’s trap? Others treating us like that, instead we should be happier. We can’t be in pain because of that and make the enemy happy. If biaojie get angry, I believe that that person will even wake up laughing from her dreams.”

  Qu Fei Qing saw that Yun Qian Meng turned fallacious reason into reasons and also teasing her, for a time her cheeks turned red form shame.

  By this time, the mama at Ji Shu Yu’s side came over to get Qu Fei Qing to go to the front yard to entertain the other women.

  Yun Qian Meng saw that this is the opportunity da jiumu made to let Qu Fei Qing learn how to be in charge of a fu. She smiled and advised Qu Fei Qing who didn’t want to leave.

  When there is only her left in the garden, the smile on Yun Qian Meng’s face disappeared. Thinking about Hai Tian’s actions, she thought that it’s appropriate to stay far away from Chu wangfu. But what you’re afraid of will come at you. When she turned around, she saw that Chu Fei Yang is standing behind her. One pair of black eyes shining with laughter is staring at her, scaring Yun Qian Meng that her heart skipped a beat. Then she immediately adjusted her composure and took a step back to put distance between her and Chu Fei Yang.

  “Greetings to Chu xiang.”

  Chu Fei Yang saw Yun Qian Meng’s panic the moment she saw him and he also saw how she is calming herself now. In his heart, he felt that she is really different from others. If it was another woman, being approached by a strange mane, they will be already in fear and panic. But Yun Qian Meng can react in an instant and can put an extremely calm attitude to ease herself. What kind of woman is she? What did she experience? Why is she calm like she has already lived for a few lifetimes?

  However, this time Chu Fei Yang came to the garden it’s not to explore the mystery around Yun Qian Meng. He pulled out a white porcelain bottle and put in front of Yun Qian Meng. He said in a serious tone: “The hand is injured, don’t let it get in contact with water. Apply this cream daily. Not even ten days, the skin will recover as new.”

  Yun Qian Meng looked at the bottle in front of her, but didn’t reach her hand out to accept it. On contrary, she is thinking about the reason that Chu Fei Yang has come. Moreover, Xi Chu has very strict requirements for women. It’s absolutely not permitted for man and woman to be alone.

  Chu Fei Yang has no room to let her slowly ponder. Plus the fact that he is originally not someone who follows the etiquettes. Seeing that Yun Qian Meng is thinking, he put the bottle of cream into her hands. And he himself disappeared from the garden without a breath.

  Yun Qian Meng looked at the bottle of cream in her hand. While her heart is upset, but she can only hid it in her sleeves. She decided to go back to Qu Fei Qing’s Ting Yu Xuan to rest. But she hasn’t even walked hundred meters, when she saw Rong Yun He coming towards her. Yun Qian Meng wanted to avoid, but when Rong Yun He saw her, he actually accelerated his speed. He quickly walked to her. He put a blue bottle in front of her. Then he cleared his throat and said awkwardly: “Zumu let me give this to you.”

  While talking, he put the bottle next to Yun Qian Meng’s feet. Then he turned and left. Yun Qian Meng looked at the blue bottle next to her feet and thought about the white bottle in her sleeves, she felt a headache forming.

  Chapter 63: Overcame One Storm, Another Is Beginning | Chu Wang Fei

  In Rui Lin yuan, the highly respected Lao Tai Jun and Chu wang reminisced about the time when Xi Chu is at war.

  Jiang Mu Chen saw that Chu Fei Yang silently went out of the inner room, in his heart crossed a trace of dissatisfaction. He also looked for an excuse and went out of Rui Lin yuan. He walked straight to the front yard, but he didn’t find the trace of Chu Fei Yang. At his side, a crowd of officials are clinging onto him. They let Jiang Mu Chen get a headache.

  “Wangye, wangye! The matter of today, I beg wangye to make the decisions for xiaguan!”

  And among these officials, there is also Su Qing’s brother, Su Yuan. He has been punished, but didn’t seriously reflect. He went as far as to wait for Jiang Mu Chen in Fu Guo Gong Fu to ask Jiang Mu Chen to go plead for him at Yu Qian Di’s.

  After all, officials being rebuked by the emperor is a common thing. But because of giving face to Lao Tai Jun, Yu Qian Di took away the chance for his daughter to enter the palace in this lifetime. How can Su Yuan swallow this anger? So he waited in the front yard for Chen wang to ask Chen wang to plea for him.

  But at this time, where would Jiang Mu Chen have the mind to bother about these little things? That pair of cold eyes looked around the front yard. When he couldn’t find Chu Fei Yang among the crowd, his expression turned uglier. At this time Su Yuan is rushing forward. He unceremoniously said: “One word of the emperor is worth nine sacred tripods. You let benwang go plea, isn’t it the same as making benwang slap the emperor’s face?”

  After those words, Su Yuan’s face is like ashes. All the energy on his body seemed to have cold water poured over them by people. There are no signs of struggle.

  Jiang Mu Chen saw that Su Yuan encountered such a small thing and he is already disheartened and didn’t have the will to fight anymore, his (JMC) heart felt sick of it. But the position of the minister of justice still has some place in the court, so he soothed his tone: “Why should Su daren be like this? Unable to enter the palace, in Xi Chu there are many wangfus. Could it be that they can’t enter Su daren’s eyes?”

  After hearing that, Su Yuan’s eyes lit up. He immediately went forward to thank Chen wang. The defeated mood just now, is now
being very high.

  Jiang Mu Chen took the opportunity to get rid of the officials. With the help of his impression of his previous visit at Fu Guo Gong Fu, he walked in the direction of the garden.

  In the garden, Yun Qian Meng thought for a long time. She bent, pick up the blue bottle and put it into her sleeves. She sighed in her heart. Then she put away the frustrations. She just sent her maid away to help Qu Fei Qing. There is now no one beside here. To avoid unnecessary trouble, she quickly walked in the direction of Ting Yu Xuan……

  “Did you really see that no one will come and appear here later? I saw that Miss Yun and the eldest Miss of Fu Guo Gong Fu are inseparable. If I’m discovered, I may be…..”

  By this time, outside of Fu Guo Gong Fu’s garden, there are three sneaky figures wandering. The man among them is Han Guo Gong Fu’s Yuan Qing Zhou. At this point, he is asking indecisively at the two maids beside him.

  Yuan Qing Zhou is wearing a bright silk robe. His face is flushed and his eyes are blurred. While speaking, a scent of alcohol came from his mouth. He is leaning slightly unstable on the wall. Just looking at him, you’ll know that he drank too much wine on the birthday.

  “Young Master, rest assured. You, a man who is able to support the heaven and earth, only has this much courage? We just saw Miss Qu go to the front yard with all the maids. Now in the garden, there’s only Miss Yun. If you are still hesitating and can’t decide, that duck that is almost in your mouth will fly away!”

  A maid wearing a green dress looked dissatisfied at Yuan Qing Zhou. Seeing that he is covered in the smell of alcohol, her eyes flashed disgust. But for her Miss’s happiness, she cannot not bring this pervert here for their plan.

  Yuan Qing Zhou got a shock from that maid’s words. Immediately, he sobered and shook his head. He straightened his chest. The timid on his face disappeared. In an instant, he lifted his feet to walk staggering into the garden. And that purple dress that drifted across the corridor confused Yuan Qing Zhou’s heart. He wanted to follow that figure, but has been stopped by the two maids.

  “What are you doing? Don’t block xiaoye’s road……be careful, xiaoye will beat you!”

  Yuan Qing Zhou’s path has been suddenly blocked and he saw that he lost sight of the beauty, he got really angry. He burped and shouted at the maid in green in front of him. He stretched his hand to push her away.

  But that maid is a quick one. Before Yuan Qing Zhou’s hand touched her body, she immediately flashed away and escaped his touch.

  That green dressed maid hasn’t been intimidated by Yuan Qing Zhou’s threats. Instead, she laughed while ridiculing him. She looked disgusted at Yuan Qing Zhou. Then she whispered quickly: “Young Master, you going there so blatantly, it’ll scare Miss Yun. Quickly come with nubi.”

  While talking, the two maids turned around and walked in the opposite direction. Yuan Qing Zhou was still skeptical, but when she turned and didn’t see that figure in purple anymore, he was really angry. He can only stamp his foot fiercely, patted his drunken face and then turned to follow those two……

  “Young Master, look, isn’t that Miss Yun? You hide here. When she passes this rockery, you hug her and bring her behind this rockery. Even if you do everything, no one will see.”

  Yuan Qing Zhou saw that the green dressed maid led him onto a shortcut. Even though Yun Qian Meng went ahead a lot, his eyes flashed lights. Just when he put a leg behind the rockery, he turned his head not at ease and ordered the maid: “You, watch out for xiaoye. Don’t let people discover.”

  While talking, Yuan Qing Zhou began to have an expression full of expectation. That green dressed maid humpfed coldly in her heart. The smile on her face became sweeter. She politely replied: “Since it’s nubi who brought young master here, then young master shouldn’t worry.”

  Thus, he hid with the other maid in yellow dress at the entrance of the shortcut. The two hid behind the thick low wall. Eyes are fixed on the outside.

  At this time, Yuan Qing Zhou didn’t have the time to care why two maids suddenly appeared in front him and why the two wanted to manufacture a chance for him and Yun Qian Meng. At this point his sperm already got into his brain. Seeing that everything has been arranged, he also crooked behind the rockery. His whole body is leaning limp against the stone wall. That pair of eyes full of amusement fixed on Yun Qian Meng who is getting closer and closer……

  Yun Qian Meng went through the corridors and came into the backyard. In this backyard, a breeze is blowing. The gentle warm breeze bought the natural aroma of flowers and an intense smell of alcohol which is mixed with a perfume of flowers. Her pair of eyes carefully observed the surroundings. She felt that the road between the garden and the backyard is particularly strange today like a trap waiting for her to jump in.

  And the people waiting are watching impatiently how Yun Qian Meng is hesitating. In their hearts they are uncertain on whether Yun Qian Meng has found out or not.

  By this time, the wind is blowing hard. The different aromas that came with it, are becoming clearer. It defined the suspicion in Yun Qian Meng’s mind. Her expression turned cold. She stood there without moving. Her cold eyes swept the four directions. She’d like to who will dare to plot against her on Fu Guo Gong Fu’s ground.

  But now that she didn’t move, it made the other people anxious. That maid in green whispered a string of words in the ear of that maid in yellow. The original expression of the maid in yellow who wanted to watch a spectacle, turned dark. She wanted to refute, but from her arm came a pain. That maid in green’s hand tightly grabbed and pinched in the fine skin of the maid in yellow. At this time, that maid in green’s eyes is so dark, scaring the maid in yellow making her immediately nod. Only then did the maid in green let go of her hand.

  That maid in yellow had been intimidated by that maid in green. She no longer dared to delay. She immediately straightened up and trotted out of the entrance. The moment she saw Yun Qian Meng, she ignored the pain in her arm and made a happy expression. Hastily she walked to Yun Qian Meng, bowed and said with care: “Eldest Miss has let nubi search long for you!”

  That maid in green saw that the maid in yellow is speaking with Yun Qian Meng, she turned and went to the front yard……

  By this time, Yun Qian Meng recognized that this maid is Yun Ruo Xue’s second personal maid, Feng er. This time, Feng er isn’t by Yun Ruo Xue’s side, but came to the backyard of Fu Guo Gong Fu to search for her. It’s really suspicious.

  Not mentioning that how Feng er can has free access to the backyard of Fu Guo gong Fu regardless of her identity, only looking at the entrance of the shortcut which she came out, it’s already very strange. If someone isn’t familiar with Fu Guo gong Fu, they will never easily find that shortcut. In the past Yun Ruo Xue always attended Fu Guo Gong Fu’s banquets in the stead of Yun Qian Meng, of course she is familiar with this terrain. And at this time, this Feng er coincidentally appeared in front of her, would be sufficient to explain the problem. Presumably, Yun Ruo Xue must have something to do with the strange atmosphere in this yard.

  Yun Qian Meng smiled quietly. She asked softly: “Why aren’t you serving at er (second) mei’s side? Why did you come here?”

  Feng er saw that Yun Qian Meng’s expression is like usual, in her heart, she couldn’t help but think that perhaps eldest Miss hasn’t found out that there are people hiding there. She smiled and replied: “Answering eldest Miss, its second Miss who lets nubi come to served eldest Miss. Just now second Miss saw that houfu’s cousin Miss went to the front yard with eldest Miss’s maid to the front yard. She is afraid that without anyone around eldest Miss, you’ll feel inconvenient. So she let nubi come. Nubi has been searching around the garden and finally found eldest Miss. Here it’s windy. Although they say that March’s climate is warmer, but the wind is still cold. Let this nubi bring eldest Miss back to cousin Miss’ Ting Yu Xuan.”

  Yun Qian Meng listened to Feng er while smiling lightly. This maid is speaking quite fast. Her eyes frequent
ly peeked at behind the rockery. Yun Qian Meng understands clearly in her heart. She pretended to not know. She frowned slightly and said: “The scenery is good here. Also, the spring breeze of March is blowing felt like silk on the face. Under such pleasant circumstances, I’m in no hurry to go back. Moreover, I believe that biaojie will come back soon. I’ll wait for her here. You’re serving er mei. Er mei is also handy in using you. You don’t need to stay by my side. Go back.”

  Yun Qian Meng turned to walk in the direction of the garden. Feng er’s eyes glanced anxiously at the not so high wall. Without hesitating, she ran to Yun Qian Meng and stopped in front of her. She blocked: “Eldest Miss, you should go back to Ting Yu Xuan!”

  Yun Qian Meng saw that a maid actually blocked her road and seeing Feng er’s anxious eyes, her smile gradually disappeared. Her mouth was a straight line. Suddenly she shouted: “What is your identity? Dare to block ben xiaojie’s road?! Does ben xiaojie need to suffer your limitations for where I want to go? Who is the one who taught you those rules? Actually dared to be so disrespectful? My xiangfu can’t afford such a maid who doesn’t understand etiquettes. When we go back, I’ll let Liu yiniang find a broker to take you away!”

  That Feng er has been by Yun Ruo Xue’s side since little. She put the recent change of Yun Qian Meng into her eyes. Especially when she saw that even Su Qing has suffered many losses at Yun Qian Meng’s hands. So this time dealing with Yun Qian Meng, she is more careful. But Yun Qian Meng still find fault with her. She saw that Yun Qian Meng’s expression is serious and the eyes looking at her is cold, making her feel fear. In particular when she mentioned the broker whom the nubis are most afraid of. And thinking about how Hong Xiang has been taken away by a broker because she went against eldest Miss, it made the always clever Feng er scared. She immediately kneeled in front of Yun Qian Meng: “Eldest Miss, it is nubis fault. Asking eldest Miss to please not send nubi away. Nubi’s home still have parents that need to be taken care of. Asking Miss to take pity on nubi!”
