Chapter 283: Disagreement in the Garden (1/2)

“Honored Sir, what would you like to discuss with me?” The emperor had a very respectful attitude towards this person.

The middle-aged man addressed ‘Honored Sir’ leisurely drank a cup of tea before speaking unhurriedly as though this matter wasn’t that important. It was as if this matter was as simple as drinking a cup of tea.

“The reason we didn’t send a request to visit is because of the severity of the matter. Qingfeng is already of age now and it is about time to honor the agreement set by our Patriarch.”

The emperor was startled for a moment before nodding silently, “What Honored Sir said is reasonable. Since this matter has been set a long time ago, it should be fulfilled.”

The middle-aged man laughed in response, “Haha, I knew Your Majesty wouldn’t go back on your words. However, we shouldn’t mention this to Qingfeng in case he becomes disgusted. If that were to happen, things would go south really quickly.”

“Of course, of course. Everything shall be arranged by Honored Sir.” The emperor’s attitude towards the middle-aged man was truly respectable. It was hard to relate the current emperor with that authoritative person in the imperial court that wielded absolute power.

At this moment. Pei Qingfeng led Ling Xian’er and a group of disciples to the imperial garden.

“Everyone can relax. Even though there are no exotic plants, every single flower here is nurtured and grown by imperial gardeners. These flowers might be mediocre and ordinary, but they are pretty in their own right. Everyone may enjoy the view. Don’t worry about messing up the place.” Pei Qingfeng felt that as a host, he should take care of them as best as he could and allowed everyone to enjoy the hospitality.

When everyone heard Pei Qingfeng, they weren’t overly constrained and grouped up with their closest friends to tour around the imperial garden.

As for Ling Xian’er, she didn’t behave as lively as usual. She didn’t go about messing around with others as she followed beside Pei Qingfeng. She tugged on the corners of her clothes and lowered her head as she thought of something.

Pei Qingfeng obviously detected something wrong with Ling Xian’er and he asked, “Xian’er, what is wrong with you? You were in such high spirits earlier, but why aren’t you happy after seeing me? Why don’t you go and play with them? Look, they are playing in the pavilion by the lake.”

Ling Xian’er forced out a smile before explaining herself to Pei Qingfeng,, “Hehe, Big Brother Qingfeng, it has been a long time since Xian’er met you. I really miss you! Can’t I spend more time with my Big Brother Qingfeng?”

Pei Qingfeng wasn’t happy after hearing her reply and he rolled his eyes at her, “Stop it. Don’t think that I’m stupid. Speak your mind. If you bottle up your feelings, you will be hurt. If that happens, someone will come and settle the scores with me.”
