Chapter 29: ”Ye Feihong”
Using Spirit Medicine to refine an immortal pill was the usual course of things. Even eating these Spirit Medicines alone could be considered normal practice, but Hong Xiaobao treated them like simple vegetables, and just made a dish out of them!
“This is a secret recipe that I developed lately. Father Emperor, how does it taste?” Hong Xiaobao was grinning foolishly, as a little child that found a peculiar stone, and wanted to show it to his mother.
“En, it is really tasty. A first-cla.s.s dis.h.!.+” Hong Wenqing said after tasting it carefully, with a satisfied nod.
“Hah, tasty? Then I’ll bring some more!” Hong Xiaobao was beaming with joy, as he ran hurriedly into the kitchen. “Wait for me, I’ll make two more meals for you all!” He said as he ran through the gate.
“This child … HaHa .” Hong Wenqing shook his head with a smile. “But, his bearing is very likable.”
“Yes !” Empress Qiao Xianxian held Yun Caixiao’s hand, as her face showed signs of pity. She then said with a sigh, “Oh, Caixiao. As you can see, our Xiaobao is outstanding in every matter other than martial arts. know that you’re a martial arts prodigy, therefore we won’t demand you to stay with Xiaobao… We will also not blame you.”
Although Qiao Xianxian thought that Hong Xiaobao was meant for Yun Caixiao, she knew that she could not demand such a thing from her. She was most aware of her child’s condition, therefore she expressed her feelings first, to avoid any embarra.s.sment.
“Empress, Your Majesty shouldn’t worry herself.” When Hong Xiaobao was mentioned, Yun Caixiao smiled lightly. “ already discussed this matter with Xiaobao. am willing to wait three years for him. So long as in these three years he can bring up even the tiniest bit of true qi, then would be willing to wait another 6 years for him. With Big Brother Xiaobao’s talent then once he makes his first step, the following ones should be very easy!”
When Yun Caixiao said that, Hong Wenqing and Qiao Xianxian looked at her with a gratified gaze.
“Oh, Caixiao, you were so wronged by us …,” Hong Wenqing said, while shaking his head. “The most precious time of a girl’s life was sacrificed for my Xiaobao … Ahh, since you’ve already made your decision, then shall honor it. And shall guarantee that you will not suffer any kind of bullying!”
“ En ,” Yun Caixiao lowered her head with a slight blush.
The atmosphere in the whole room was a little depressing, so Qiao Xianxian said “*Sigh*, our Xiaobao celebrates his birthday, and he even went to make some food for us! But here we are sitting here, all sad and depressed. Let’s drink this Profound Yuan and Purple Jade Soup in honor of Xiaobao…. But I must say, Caixiao, you are such a good child, so clever and attractive! It’s truly Hong Xiaobao’s fortune that he could’ve met you.” As she said that, she picked up a bowl full of soup, and gave it to her.
This move of hers was quite affectionate.
“Thank you, Empress … “ Yun Caixiao was astounded by Empress Qian Xianxian’s words, and her complexion was red. She then said with a small voice, “Tasty … “
“Ha Ha, it’s good that you like it.” Hong Wenqing stroked his beard with a smile. Suddenly, an imperial guard came into the room and reported, “Your Majesty, Thunder Sound Pavilion elder, Ye Feihong, has arrived and seeks an audience with Your Majesty.”
“Ye Feihong ?!” Hong Wenqing asked surprised. He was startled by this unexpected visit, so his brows wrinkled greatly. “His intention being … ?”
“It may be so .” Qiao Xianxian naturally understood Hong Wenqing meaning. She patted Yun Caixiao’s hand and said, “Caixiao, you should not be afraid, let’s go and look up to what mischief this Ye Feihong is up to!”
“En !” Yun Caixiao said with a nod.
“Mother Empress, I’ll also go.” The Third Prince, Hong Haoyun, stood up. “ feel they are up to no good… they may even have some ideas regarding Younger Brother Bao!”
