“Like this…” Xin Yue Ning glance at the little baby soundly sleeping and pretended to ponder about it for a while before saying, “Why not choose Chu Xiu Palace? It is near to Qing Feng Hall and in the future would facilitate the Prince to come over to greet. Does younger sister like it?”
Yan Hong Tian had agreed that she would be able to have her child by her side till a full year old and now with regards to the Prince moving out after the full month, he did not say a word about it. Was he backing out of it? Qing Feng was somewhat fl.u.s.tered and took several deep breaths before she could calmly reply, “The Empress already said that the place is good, naturally Chenqie would like it. But the Empress should not be troubled with the arrangement of the Palaces. After a few days when the weather is much better, Chenqie will send someone to take care of it, after all it would need to wait for the child to be a full age before moving in.”
Xin Yue Ning’s face sank and she urgently continued, “For what reason?”
Yan Hong Tian did not really speak for the entire night and no one could figure out the look on his face. But now he did not even lift his head up, seemingly to let her self-destruct. Qing Feng clenched her teeth secretly. Good, since you were not bothered by it then don’t blame me! Qing Feng slowly lift her head up and put on a little sadness on her face before sighing and said, “On the second day after the child is born, there was a physiognomist (person who read face and tell the fortune) who came to the other residence and read the fortune of the child. He said that since the Little Prince was a pre-mature baby, he has a deficiency of Yin energy and should remain by the mother’s side for a year so as to protect his safety.”
Concerning about the Little Prince’s safety, Lou Su Xin anxiously said, “There was such a thing?”
Xin Yue Ning knitted her brows, “The Little Prince’s life is n.o.ble and if the fortune for the Little Prince was to be told, then it should be done by the enlightened monks from Yu Quan Temple. How can anyone believe the physiognomists from Jianghu.”
Qing Feng gave a weak pretence smile and sighed, “Chenqie is slow-witted and naturally do not know if the depths of the physiognomist skills but the Emperor had a long talk with him and said that the physiognomist could accurately predict life and an expert.”
Handing the child in her arms to Shen Yao, who was standing at the side quietly, Lou Su Xin worriedly asked, “Emperor, is Imperial Concubine Qing’s words are true?”
Yan Hong Tian finally put the tea down after drinking the entire night and there was an unfathomable flash in his dark eyes before he faintly smiled, “He was indeed an expert!”
Hearing Yan Hong Tian said that, Qing Feng secretly gave a sigh of relief and at the same time her heart was complaining bitterly. Seeing that smile of his, it meant that he will settle scores at an opportune moment.
Lou Su Xin naturally believed Yan Hong Tian and did not hesitate any longer and directly said, “If so, then would rather believe it to be true and to believe otherwise. Since the Emperor and the physiognomist said it as such then let the Prince stay in Qing Feng Hall till he is a year old.”
“But…” Xin Yue Ning refuses to accept it and wanted to refute but Shui Xin, who was standing by the screen, looked up and shook her head slightly at her. At the same moment of pause, Qing Feng already hurried thanked, “Thanking the Empress Dowager’s grace.”
At this point, whatever she said would be in vain. Xin Yue Ning tightly clenched her hands, how can she not be mad? When the prince was a month old, he should leave his mother’s side. This it the Palace’s regulation but today Qing Feng had broken it. That year she plead with the Emperor and Empress to let Jing-er say by her side for one more moth but neither of them agreed. Why did the Emperor followed her wishes every single time?
The atmosphere in the house became heavier thus the Empress Dowager no longer had any mood and waved her hands before saying, “Alright, the time is no longer early so everyone can leave. Don’t disturb Imperial Concubine Qing and Aijia’s little obedient grandchild’s rest.” Finis.h.i.+ng she left the house, leaving the roomful of people.
“Chenqie will retire.” After the Empress Dowager left, the concubines in the living room also hastily retired.
Shui Xin walked to Xin Yue Ning’s side and supported her as she said softly, “Mistress, your health just got better and should go back to the palace to rest.” As Shui Xin held tightly to her arm, Xin Yue Ning pressed down the hate in her heart, “Younger sister do need to rest well as the leads are the main stars of the full month celebrations.” Anyways, Qing Feng would not be complacent for too long so she will just tolerate her today.
“Thanking the Empress.” The full month banquet was inevitable and what she could only do now was to be very careful with her actions.
“Chenqie will retire.” After greeting Yan Hong Tian, Xin Yue Ning snorted and ignored Qing Feng to leave with Shui Xin.
In a short while, the houseful of people left and Qing Feng took a long breath to only find out that the quietness in the room was somewhat frightening.
“Beloved concubine not only know how to fake an Imperial decree and also improved your storytelling skills.”
The two words ‘beloved concubine’ made goose b.u.mps rose up all over Qin
