Chapter 33 - The Plan
"Do not ever think about going back for your decision… I will really tie you with me everywhere if you are daring to go back with your fiancée…" Jin Yu is warning her.
"I do not dare to seek my own death, your highness," Ni Qing mocks Jin Yu for his word. However, it is clear as the sky in the morning about her future life. Sooner or later, she will need to join his harem inside the thick cold palace. In her head, she still thinks about the beginning of her wrongful fate.
"As soon as this war finish and peace are coming back to our realms, I will send you all the dowry and red sedan to pick you from your family mansion. I will make it as grand as your sister when she entered the palace," Jin Yu is giving out his plan.
"But I am only as concubine who enters the harem. Why are you sending such a grand wedding as the royal consort?" Ni Qing is asking his royal highness.
"Wang, relay my decree. I want the minister of rites, Han Feng to go and bring all the necessary for my marriage to the second daughter of Ni. I will confer her with the Royal Noble Consort title under the empress," Jin Yu gives out the order which make Ni Qing kneels down to the ground straight away as the etiquette.
"Thank you, your highness for your graceful," Ni Qing and Xiao Nie are saying their gratitude.
"Okay… Okay… stand up. It is cold on the floor," Jin Yu is lifting Ni Qing hand to get up and put her back on her chair.
"But Your highness, I have two requests if I can be audacious," Ni Qing is asking him.
"Tell me if I can make it happen," Jin Yu holds her hand.
"first, I want to get the further palace from the inner court, and I can renovate it as my wish. Second, you are willing to take out your title as soon as you are entering my palace. I will not allow you to enter if you are my emperor while you are spending time with me. Can you grant my wish?" Ni Qing is asking her term to join his harem.
"Why? I am thinking to place you next to the empress palace in the inner court and near to my palace. However, I am expecting you to spend some time in my palace rather than in your palace," Jin Yu is revoking her idea to spend more time in her place.
"Well… we are indeed reaching our deadlock. We have to collaborate and join in our life as a married couple," Ni Qing is proposing something different toward him.
"You know… it is indeed such an intriguing proposal so far I have been receiving in my entire life. Many women are racing to be in my palace with their politic but it seems that you are the less interesting to be in my palace. Why should I cave into your request?" Jin Yu is looking at her seriously when Eunuch Wang and Xiao Nie serve their dessert.
"You got me for exchanges of my term and on top of that, you will get my heart," Ni Qing is trying to coax him to approve her idea.
"Are you going to eat those cake? Shall I collect the down payment, or we continue this through pillow talk?" Jin Yu tries to talk dirty to his wife.
"Your highness… you are an emperor, yet you talk so eloquently," N Qing is blushing pink to hear her husband talk such a language.
"Wang… can I have my time alone with my wife?" Jin Yu is telling his eunuch and her maid to leave the tent alone.
"Your majesty, Zhang and general Lin Yue are expecting your audience in the common tent," Eunuch Zhang is informing him.
"Well… duty comes first. Wait for me and be obedient. I shall return soon," Jin Yu is standing up and walks out of the tent.
Ni Qing is letting off some breath from her lungs while continuing to sip on her tea.
"Miss… are you sure? You are still the fiancée of General Lin and yet you are doing this thing," Xiao Nie is telling her missus.
"I have crossed the line and loose the most important part of me. I have to yield myself to his arm as he owes my body. I am ruined and stained. Lin Yue deserves someone better than me. However, I have to get the emperor heart rather than only his interest," Ni Qing is telling her loyal maid.
"I thought you keep everything for general Lin Yue after all your efforts," Xiao Nie is asking her miss.
"Everything already goes down to drain at the moment. I wish that the time reverse back and I can take control of everything from the beginning and avoid all this complication," Ni Qing keep seeping her tea.
