Chapter 520: You Don’t Know Him, He Would!
The next day was the Concubine Registry Ceremony.
Feng Mohan was paralyzed on the carved pear wood chair, his eyes dull, and exuding an aura as if nobody loved him.
”Imperial Uncle, I will choose a consort tomorrow.”
In the imperial study, his uncle always maintained one posture.
It was just sitting at a desk and writing on paper, swishing with a brush, without lifting an eyelid.
At this time, Feng Mohan couldn’t hold back and treated his Imperial Uncle as a tree hollow. He has to get it out of his chest.
”I don’t even know what those talented ladies look like, but I have to pick out one among them and appoint her my consort. Moreover, I have to sleep with her at night.”
”Uncle, I’m only eleven years old. Can we sleep together?”
”If the grandpa and grandma finds out, they would surely be sad. An 11-year-old child was forced to consummate a marriage.”
”Uncle, I am so pitiful.”
To tell the truth, he really was averse to sleeping among that cluster of flowers.
Xue Qinglian said that it was too early for him to engage in intercourse.
”Uncle, if you don’t give me any advice, how about going to Aunt Liu?”
Only the words Aunt Liu could make his uncle look at him.
The man spoke indifferently, “Don’t worry. There is no need for you to be distressed. Consort Liu will help you choose. If it really doesn’t work, just drink the medicine.”
”…” This tree hollow has no humanity.
Feng Mohan got up, dragged his feet, and walked out, feeling suffocated.
When he got to the door, he turned around and said, “Uncle, I still have to choose by myself. I can’t chew anyone chosen by that old witch. I will choose based on Aunt Liu.”
Swish, an unfinished memorial flew past his ear. Feng Mohan hit the road and fled.
He was uncomfortable, so he should also make his uncle uncomfortable.
Who told him to see it through to the end?
Then, he’d choose someone according to Aunt Liu’s temperament, including every twinkle and smile.
Beauty should be like this. He didn’t want anybody who looked otherwise.
”Feng Mohan, if you dare to think crookedly, I will fulfill your wish not to be the Emperor and let you be a eunuch!”
After running away, the man’s voice still came ringing in his ears.
Feng Mohan responded with a cold hum and walked back with his butt tucked.
”Uncle, I was wrong. I was just joking with you just now. The beauties in the palace are all exquisitely dainty and ravishingly beautiful. They have their own merits. I don’t want someone that looks a little bit like Aunt Liu. I have absolutely nothing but respect for Aunt Liu!”
Feng Qingbai threw the brush in his hand on the desk and looked at the little boy coldly.
”You are theEmperor. You have to endure some things even if you dislike them. Feng Mohan, a woman who is favored by the Emperor will not end well. Bear this in mind.”
”That’s why you refuse to be the Emperor, because you like Aunt Liu.”
Feng Mohan lowered his eyes and walked back to his chair again.
He knew it all.
It was because his Uncle didn’t want it that was why he was not in his current position.
Whatever his Uncle disliked, he could refuse it.
He didn’t like it either, but no one asked him if he wanted it.
”Uncle, will you bring Aunt Liu with you tomorrow?” Feng Mohan said before the man’s eyes turned cold again, “If my mother is still here, she will definitely be there tomorrow.”
Feng Qingbai stared fixedly at him for a spell before taking a hold of the brush and continued the unfinished official affairs. “After tomorrow, all government affairs will be handed over to you personally. If you don’t understand, you can ask me.”
”…Uncle, aren’t you going to help me deal with them until I turn 15?” He was not yet an adult.
Was it because he just said the wrong word, so the uncle wants to exact a personal revenge?
”After you choose a consort and consummate the marriage, you will be considered an adult.”
”You said that those concubines could be placed in the harem as decorations before I become an adult!” You didn’t say that I must sleep with them!
You lied!
His Imperial Uncle dug a pit for him!
Feng Qingbai only raised the corner of his lower lip, innocently.
”When you can control everything, you can do what you want. No one can control you.”
”Then bring Aunt Liu to the grand ceremony. All powerful ministers can bring their female relatives to the ceremony.” He couldn’t resist anyway, so what was the point of resisting?
He might as well make himself comfortable.
He couldn’t fight his Imperial Uncle.
The man didn’t answer him again.
The little boy felt like an abandoned cabbage, and his heart shiverred coldly.
He would be guillotined tomorrow, but his last wishes as the condemned could not be fulfilled.
No one really cared about him!
While he was kicking a fuss in the imperial study, in a certain corner of the Qingning Palace, it wasn’t calm either.
”Ling-gong, you must stay with this concubine tomorrow! Whether you come or not, you must come!” Consort Liu was disheveled, and her eyes were red.
The person standing in front of her remained silent, and the pair of eyes as dark as ink that was exposed behind his mask looked so black that people could not see through them. They remained calm.
”Feng Qingbai, that sinister villain, won’t let go of any opportunity to deal with this concubine! Maybe the assassin is hidden amidst the Consort candidates! This concubine can’t guard against them, and this concubine can’t die!”
”Your Highness, you’re overthinking it. Tomorrow, hundreds of officials will gather and guards will be heavy. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the King of Nanling will not commit a major taboo in the world.”
”He will, he will! You don’t know him, he would. No rule exists in his eyes at all! He sent people into the palace to intimidate this concubine, so what else is he afraid to do?!” Consort Liu screamed.
Ling-gong looked at her but did not answer.
”I don’t care what you think. In any case, you must stay by this concubine’s side to protect me tomorrow! If anything happens to me, you won’t be able to escape either! Did you think that after you harmed Liu Yusheng, he would let you go?”
”Understood.” Ling-gong lowered his eyes, covering the emotions that quickly flashed across his eyes.
After receiving his answer, Consort Liu breathed a sigh of relief.
She knew Ling-gong’s ability. As long as he was there, she would not die.
”Someone! Prepare the dress for this Concubine’s attendance tomorrow!” Consort Liu pushed a strand of hair away from her face and ordered someone.
She wanted to dress up for the occasion.
Feng Qingbai wanted to see her panicked and on the verge of madness, didn’t he?
He could dream on!
……
The next day was the grand ceremony, and the deadline for the delivery of special fabrics to the palace had arrived.
Fu Yuzheng personally brought the cloth into the palace, and after being inspected by the Shangyi Workshop, it was successfully transported to the warehouse.
By the time she came out, she saw a slender figure standing in front of the palace gates, still wearing the Imperial Hanlin Academy scholar’s uniform.
As if connected by heart, just as she walked out, the man with his back to the palace door turned his head back.
”Zhixia!” Fu Yuzheng’s eyes instantly glowed and she stretched her legs, running towards the man.
”Stop, I’ll go to you.” Liu Zhixia stopped her, strode over to her, reached her side, and immediately took her hand, before the tension in his eyes faded, “Don’t be rash. “
Fu Yuzheng said helplessly, “I know what I’m doing. I’m not a baby. You are too nervous.”
Liu Zhixia curled his lips. “My whole world is here. How can I not be nervous?”
Staring at him, the corners of Fu Yuzheng’s lips curled up high. There were people coming and going around, but she could only see him.
Just looking at him like this made her happy.
”Why are you here?” It was noon at this time, and in the past he was still on duty at the academy at this hour.
She usually never saw him until dinner.
”Knowing that you entered the palace today and delivered the goods, I came to take you home. I have asked for an hour leave from the academy.”
The man’s words made honey flood Fu Yuzheng’s heart.
She liked that he said “home”, instead of “manor”.
Xinliu Manor was her home.
