A Mistaken Marriage Match: Mysteries in the Imperial Harem

Chapter 6: A New Hope

QianYang Hall

Qiong Yue is entertaining the envoys tonight, thus the huge main hall was decorated exceptionally gorgeously. Golden silk carpet, golden tableware, in fact to as far as one can see, everything was decorated in gold, portraying the grandeur and honour yet pressing attitude the country took.

Qing Feng look towards the golden dragon throne at the top and sneered. Yan Hong Tian's quick success, can only be achieved through conquering and forceful submission to become their monarch. And to want to be immortalize and revered by all is simply nonsense and extremely ridiculous!

The Palace Banquet is about to begin and the officials started to enter the main hall. The Imperial Household Steward Wu Rong also started to get anxious and berate the mama to managed the palace maids under them. No mistakes is tolerated at this kind of banquet!

Mama look at the cold expression of the female, who was brought to her in the evening, and she secretly lament the orders from the top, insisting that she was to serve the Princess of Northern Qi. She is well aware of the reason behind and thus dare not disobey but this female cold and aloof expression always made her nervous, fearing that she will cause any trouble during the banquet!

Walking to Qing Feng's side, the mama suddenly grabbed onto her hands and feign a sympathising tone, "Mama knows that you did not take it lying down and feel bitter about it but you need to serve the Princess of Northern Qi well. Maybe the Emperor will be please and forgive you. In short, during the banquet, don't show your temper or create problems else it would be hard to secure your life."

In the afternoon, Fu Ling did a treatment for her, thus her right hand is no longer in such pain. But now when the mama grab her that hard, the pain started to recur. Qing Feng suddenly withdrew her hands and the mama slightly stunned became angry and scolded, "If during the banquet, you caused any trouble, I will skin you alive. Did you hear that?" Give you face but you don't want!

Her chest felt bouts of dull pain, each one worse than the previous, and the clothes on her back is already wet with perspiration, not because it is hot but due to the chill in her heart that causes Qing Feng to keep trembling. She did not even listen to what Wu Mama was saying. She was only standing her without falling only because she was waiting for Yan Hong Tian's arrival.

Qing Feng remained silent, but before the old mama could lecture her, a loud voice announced from outside the call, "The Emperor has arrived! The Empress has arrived!"

The old mama quickly closed her open mouth and got on her knees and bow with everyone.

"Long live the Qiong Emperor!" All the literary and military officials, guards and servants gave three rounds of greetings. Their loud voices resounded through the entire hall. Qing Feng felt a sharp pain on her hands as the mama pulled her down to the floor. At the same time, Yan Hong Tian, who was wearing a bright yellow silk robe, with a white jade belt and a crown headdress, walked in with large steps. The grandeur he currently displayed far surpassed the one which she first saw. When that pair of domineering stern eyes swept across the hall, don't even mention about meeting his eyes, no one dared to lift up their heads!

The bowed old mama's body was even shaking. Qing Feng coldly scoffed, she was only just arrogant about it and now she is this afraid, this kind of tricky slave who only know how to flatter the top and bully those under them deserves to be servants for the rest of their lives!

"All my noble officials, please raise." Yan Hong Tian sat on the throne with a woman beside him. She was wearing dark red peony dress, jade buyao (dangling hair ornaments). Her beautiful clothes made her look respectable and glamorous but also seem to be lacking of a little vigour and vitality. The woman who was sitting beside Yan Hong Tian at this moment, without a doubt, is the Empress.
