Chapter 516 – The Emperor’s Petty Intentions (1/2)

The Emperor’s Petty Intentions

Xuan Tian Ming angrily gritted his teeth. What wife was he marrying? His wife was under his blanket. Who else could he marry?

But the sound of joyous music grew louder and louder outside, causing his head to swell more and more. He angrily got up and grabbed Feng Yu Heng. At the same time, he called out- “Bai Ze!”

There was no movement from the door.

He frowned and called once more: “Huang Quan!”

There was still no movement.

Feng Yu Heng got out of bed and put on an outer garment. While putting it on, she shouted- “Song Kang!”

Bang! The door was pushed open by someone from the outside.

Xuan Tian Ming felt that servants like Bai Ze and Huang Quan that were more interested in liveliness than their masters really could not be considered as useful as Song Kang! For Song Kang, as long as Feng Yu Heng was at the palace, unless he was sleeping or cutting up chickens and ducks, he would spend the rest of his time taking care of his master. When his master got up, that was his time to take care of her. When his master had not yet gotten up, he would need to wait outside the door to keep watch.

Also, this Song Kang had another problem- he viewed everyone as being beneath him.

It was not completely the case. It was just that as long as Feng Yu Heng was present, he could practically not see anyone else. There were clearly two people in the room. In any case, Xuan Tian Ming was a prince, right? But Song Kang, sir Song, only saluted his master. He did not pay any attention to the prince.

Feng Yu Heng nodded in satisfaction then asked Song Kang: “What is going on outside? Who is getting married?”

Song Kang shook his head like a pellet drum, “Master, this music was prepared for you and his Highness.” After saying this, he finally looked at Xuan Tian Ming and said: “His Majesty’s personal eunuch also came. His Majesty heard that master and your Highness would be returning to the military camp, thus he arranged for some music to send you off.”

Xuan Tian Ming was so angry that he was speechless. Send them off? This was not the first time that the two were going to the military camp. What sort of mental illness had that old man come down with?

There was nothing he could do. Since it was arranged by the Emperor, he had to go out and take a look. The two sent Song Kang out before diving into the space to get cleaned up. When they came out after getting cleaned up and dressed, they were surprised to find that the music troupe had already arrived in front of the bedchamber’s doors.

Feng Yu Heng smirked from hearing this. She tugged Xuan Tian Ming’s sleeve and loudly shouted, asking him: “Say, what do you think father Emperor is doing? Why does this atmosphere seem like they are trying to perform an early wedding for us?” No wonder she had that weird dream.

Xuan Tian Ming spread his hands, “How could I know! That old man is most likely going insane.”

The door opened, and the sound grew even louder. The two immediately saw Zhang Yuan standing there. Accompanying the music troupe, Zhang Yuan’s ugly expression was truly too noticeable. Xuan Tian Ming coldly snorted and waved his hand, as he very impolitely said: “Everyone, stop!”

This was shouted using internal strength, and it scared the troupe members into nearly throwing away their instruments. They all looked at Xuan Tian Ming then at Zhang Yuan. The leader said: “Sir eunuch, didn’t you say that this was arranged by his Majesty? Why is it…” Why was there someone that did not even give face to the Emperor?

Zhang Yuan had a bitter expression and waved his hand: “You can all leave. You will still be paid.”

Upon hearing that they would still be paid, they did not insist. Carrying their instruments, they left. Zhang Yuan remained in place and looked at Xuan Tian Ming. Behind him were some other eunuchs that did not even dare to raise their heads.

Feng Yu Heng saw that Xuan Tian Ming’s expression was truly very ugly and quickly tugged at him. She then glared at him before asking Zhang Yuan: “Eunuch Zhang, you said that this was arranged by father Emperor?”

When she asked this, her voice became much softer. Zhang Yuan expressed that he could accept this, thus he replied: “His Majesty said that imperial daughter and his Highness would be returning to the military camp. You are leaving in a rush, and he did not have a chance to personally say a few words. He could only use this method to express his feelings. Also, going to the military camp to produce steel weapons is a joyous matter. A joyous matter must be celebrated.”

Feng Yu Heng blinked. Her train of thought became derailed, as an image of the Emperor with a thief-like smile appeared… Wait a moment, why was it a thief-like smile?

She looked at Zhang Yuan then at Xuan Tian Ming. The two exchanged a glance and immediately saw that the other had similar thoughts.

Xuan Tian Ming coldly said to Zhang Yuan: “Not to mention the old man’s efforts to hide things. Why exactly was such a scene caused? Speak the truth!”

Zhang Yuan sighed bitterly, “Hah! In truth, the situation is very easy to explain. With the two of you leaving, there will be nobody to stop him drinking with lord Yao. His Majesty is celebrating for himself!”

Xuan Tian Ming was so angry that he could not even speak. Last night, he had said that Feng Yu Heng’s father was no good. This morning, his father did not put in a good showing for him.
