A Mistaken Marriage Match: Mysteries in the Imperial Harem

Chapter 57: Feelings Grows in the Dark

In a short while, the houseful of people left and Qing Feng took a long breath to only find out that the quietness in the room was somewhat frightening.

"Beloved concubine not only know how to fake an Imperial decree and also improved your storytelling skills."

The two words 'beloved concubine' made goose bumps rose up all over Qing Feng's body. This settling of scores at an opportune moment came a tad too soon...

Qing Feng lightly coughed and quietly looked up and saw Yan Hong Tian's pair of deep black eyes. Qing Feng deliberated for a period of time before deciding to refuse to acknowledge it, "Chenqie is fearful as passing a fake Imperial decree is a death penalty. The Emperor must not scare Chenqie."

She would be fearful? Who was staring at him again? Yan Hong Tian lightly snorted, "You did not?"

His voice got deeper but that dark eyes had a faint trace of a smile. Evidently Yan Hong Tian did not really want to make things difficult for her so Qing Feng secretly gave a sigh of relieve and smiled, "Of course not. It is the Emperor who promised Chenqie to let Imperial Son to stay by Chenqie's side for a year and as for the so called fortune, it was just said so that the Empress Dowager and Empress would be able to accept it and so that the Emperor would not be in a difficult position. Since everything was done in accordance to the Emperor's will, how is it passing a fake Imperial decree?"

She acted on her own initiative and now it had become for his sake? Yan Hong Tian felt that he could not help to cry or laugh, "Previous you had a razor sharp mouth and now you also learn to shift the blame. Good. Really good!"

Qing Feng shrugged her shoulders, "The Emperor taught well." If he did not ignore the entire night, she won't need to weave a story.

"Zhen sees that if the child follow you, he would not learn anything good." Eccentric, crafty, bad temper and stubborn.

Qing Feng was not afraid of anything as she continued to reply, "The Emperor has flattered."

She had already decided that no matter what he say, she would treat it as praises. Yan Hong Tian broke into laughter as Qing Feng sat on the bed with her two legs hanging over the bed and a faint smirk on her face. Both of them, one sitting on the bed, one sitting on the deck chair, spoke some senseless things but it made him want to continue it on. However the reports in the Imperial Study was still waiting for him to be reviewed. Since it was late, Yan Hong Tian got up and said, "You should go to bed early."

They were just talking happily and now seeing him turning around to go, Qing Feng blurted, "Just came and now leave?" She thought that he would stay tonight and just now gotten Shen Yao to carry the child out. It turned out... That he did not have the intention to stay.

The disappointment in Qing Feng's words made Yan Hong Tian stop and in a rare sight, he explained, "Lately there are more state affairs and there are also reports to be dealt with. You also had a hard day today so rest well." Qiong Yue was a vast place so there were a lot of state affairs to deal with. The most trouble issue that made his head ache recently was still the pirates. Unfortunately Qiong Yue's navy was not strong and so he sent Su Ling there hoping that he could use his military experience and formidable reputation. If the pirates continue to go rampant, Qiong Yue reputation will go down which would cause a bigger headache for him.

"Did you specially come over?" Haishi (modern timing: 9 – 11 pm) had passed and he still needs to deal with state affairs. Qing Feng thought about what Xiao Yu had mentioned that day that he was usually busy till after Zishi (modern timing: 11 pm – 1 am) before he rested. It is indeed hard to be an Emperor. Qing Feng suddenly find that no matter whether it was the Empress Dowager, the Empress or herself, kept bringing the Inner Palace issues to bother him. No wonder he was fed up with it.
