Chapter 5: I Want Revenge (Part 3)

“Miss, please have your meal.”

Fu Ling looked at the four dishes and soup that was place on the table and is unsure if she should be happy or sad for this Miss Qing. Since the incident onwards, the Imperial Kitchens had served exquisite cuisines for the pa.s.s continuously for the past two days. Eunuch Xu is absolutely not a virtuous type. With him being so responsive, he should be up to no good.

“I do not have much of an appet.i.te. You eat instead.” Qing Feng;s cool clear voice was heard from within the room. Fu Ling sighed and ladled out a bowl of soup. Just as she wanted to bring it in, she saw Wu Zhi Qiu, from Jings.h.i.+Fang (department that take care of the Emperor affairs… Bed affairs…), entering the courtyard with two lower ranked eunuchs.

Fu Ling’s face slightly changed. She put the bowl of soup down and quickly head out to greet, “Greetings to Wu Gonggong.”

Seeing only Fu Ling coming out to receive, Wu Zhi Qiu was evidently not happy. He coldly questioned, “Why is there only you, how about that Qing Ling?”

“Miss is in the room, this servant will invite her out.” Fu Ling performed a greeting before turning to head back to the house.

Wu Zhi Qiu was even unhappy, a foreign female with such arrogance, still requires an invitation before she is willing to come out!

After a short while, a tall meagre female came out following Fu Ling. Wu Zhi Qiu snorted, “You are Qing Ling?”

Fu Ling whispered to Qing Ling’s ears, “This is the Wu Gonggon from Jings.h.i.+Fang.” All the various concubines, beauties, talents from the Inner Palace would never dare to offend Jings.h.i.+Fang. Hopefully Miss will not act up and also offend Xu Gonggong. Jings.h.i.+Fang is unlike the Imperial Kitchens, if the Emperor doesn’t pick a specific beauty to attend to him, they have ways to ensure that the Emperor will never see the name plates of those people.

Qing Feng’s cold eyes s.h.i.+mmered and bend over to give a greeting in a rare docile manner. Fu Ling was secretly relieved.

Seeing that she has the cardinal principles in mind, Wu Zhi Qiu’s expression finally warmed up a bit and he habitually examine her. Long and slender limbs, an elegant disposition, looks… The undamaged side is actually pretty good. No wonder the Empress would send someone to remind the him that the Emperor’s beauty has been sent and not keep the Emperor waiting. Without a delicate face, a beauty is no longer a beauty.

Waving his hands, Wu Zhi Qiu said with impatience, “Go prepare a bit, you will be attending at the bedchamber during Hais.h.i.+ (modern timing: 9 – 11pm). Someone will bring you to freshen up during Yous.h.i.+ (modern timing: 7 – 9pm).” After finis.h.i.+ng, he did not gave Qing Feng another glance and walked away hurriedly.

Qing Feng stood in the courtyard with a look of utter coldness. Fu Ling reminded her softly, “Miss should rejoice instead.”

Rejoice? Hrumph , well yes, she should be happy! She finally have the opportunity to be closer to Yan Hong Tian, her long preparations and her offending so many people were all not in vain!

Perking up with a smile that is unlike a smile, Qing Feng spoke loudly, “Comb my hair later, I like my hair to be styled a little to make my face would appear more beautiful!”

Fu Ling though slightly stunned, smiled saying, “The skills that Jings.h.i.+Fang’s palace maid have are much better than this servant.”

“I prefer to have you comb my hair, unless… You are unwilling.” Seeing the slightly angry look in Qing Feng’s eyes, Fu Ling helplessly reply, “This servant dare not.”
