Chapter 5 (1/2)

Chapter 5 : I think, the Emperor … he is poisonous!

The Emperor loitered at my residence everyday, resulting in hatred and envy in the hearts of the imperial concubines.

Earlier, he was almost poisoned by the person who sleeps beside him.

If this news spread out, it might just let people laugh out loud.

That’s why I earnestly persuaded Duan Ming Zhang, “Your Majesty, you came over looking for this servant to relieve boredom everyday. Wouldn’t it be better if you go to sit around more at the concubine’s place?”

“Huai Zhen wanted to avoid Zhen that much? Really don’t want to stay with Zhen?”

I opened my mouth, at loss for words.

How can I dared to do so wo!

In front of Duan Ming Zhang, I gave him strong and happy smile.

The moment I turned my back, I became constantly on edge, frowning and worried.

I lost so much hairs because of that.

Ninth month.

Tenth month.

Eleventh month.

Twelfth lunar month.

First day of Twelfth lunar month.

Second day, Third day …. Seventh day, Eighth day, Ninth day, Tenth day.

The day I afraid the most has arrived.

However, Duan Ming Zhang was very happy. Because not only it was his twenty fifth birthday, but also my two brothers were leading the army back with a triumphant return.

He already reminded me starting from day one, “Tomorrow’s occasion will be grand, Huai Zhen must wear something more spectacular.”

If dressed too spectacular, it’s not suitable to escape ah!

Face hanging a bitter gourd’s expression, I stood numbly while being put on layers of flowery clothes and beautiful accessories by the servants.

Everything seems to be no different from previous life, just that in this grand palace banquet there is one smiling face lesser.

I lowered down my head and hurriedly followed LePing’s footsteps to go to my seat, until LePing stopped walking and I followed suit to stop.

The moment I raised up my head …. it got me dumbfounded.

This this this, this should be something not too right ba ?!

Was LePing being muddle-headed?

How can he bring me to the empty seat right next to the Emperor’s side?!

I was stunned, so did everyone present.

Only Duan Ming Zhang smiled quietly.

From his eyes, there was an intoxicating smiling expression.

He asked me, “Huai Zhen, today is Zhen’s birthday. What did you prepared for my birthday present?”

My heart skipped a beat, suddenly sweating cold sweat all over the body.

Finished, I’m finished. I was busy worrying how I am going to die, and completely forgotten about this matter.

Under the watchful eyes of the people present, I shook my head with embarra.s.sment.

Really scared that this volatile Emperor will sentence me of the crime of great disrespect.

After a long while, the Emperor can be heard heaving a sigh.

“Didn’t you promised to give Zhen a present ma? Since Huai Zhen is so stingy, Zhen have to personally ask for this birthday present.”

“Huai Zhen, are you giving one to me or not?”

Give give give! Even if you want my life, I will also give it to you!

[Note : Not to be mistaken as a sarcasm, Huai Zhen is currently rambling out of fear.]

“It will be the most satisfying birthday gift Zhen received today.”
