Chu Wang Fei

by Ning er

But Chu Nan Shan’s serious tone and expression told Yun Qian Meng that he had really planned to do such thing.

  But Chu Nan Shan planned to cross over his own son and daughter-in-law, then directly wanted to deliver such honor to them, it was impossible for someone not to feel impressed, but behind such kind of status it had also involved a lot of trouble, if Chu Pei would know about this matter, how will he react to it?

  “My child, don't think too much about it, sooner or later this position will be handed over to you, now it is just being given to you in advance! But, if grandpa isn't Chu Wang anymore, my own Wang Fu will be taken away from me, without my son’s obedience, I have no other choice but to live with my grandson, but on the bright side I will be able to eat the dishes cooked by you silly girl everyday!” Seeing Yun Qian Meng went silent, Chu Nan Shan pulled the chicken meat apart, using his spoon to scoop up the food inside, as he spoke happily.

  Watching him eating happily, Yun Qian Meng’s heart felt a bit strange, perhaps this was far better than what Chu Wang had mentioned, her eyes met Chu Fei Yang’s unexpectedly, seeing his haze as deep as the sea, although without fluctuations yet they were glowing with light, perhaps even Chu Fei Yang wasn’t able to understand, why Chu Wang would anxiously hand over his official post.

  “The day after tomorrow will be the Lantern Festival, during that time the imperial palace will be bustling with noise and excitement!” Having his mouth full of food, while Chu Nan Shan was digesting the food in his mouth, he was allowing his grandson and granddaughter-in-law to digest all his words.

  “What had happened between both of you?” And this time, Chu Fei Yang solemnly stared at Jiao Da who was standing behind Chu Nan Shan.

  Feeling Chu Fei Yang’s gaze seemed to penetrate through him, Jiao Da immediately shook his head, when Wang Ye and Lao Ye interacted with each other, he was always standing beside the doorway of the study room, yet he wasn’t particular with the discussion between the two men, but every time when the two of them came out of the room after discussion, their faces seemed to be uglier, as if they had been through some arguments, if Wang Ye didn’t have his grandson and granddaughter-in-law around, perhaps during his old days he will turn into a pitiful old man!

  Chu Fei Yang’s both eyes were bright and full of expression, he was staring strictly at Jiao Da, but no matter how intense was the look that he shot against Jiao Da, Jiao Da’s expressionless face had clearly indicate the problem.

  “Let’s just have our meal! Why do you have to talk too much rubbish while we are eating? Certainly Meng’er seemed more educated and quiet! Why don’t you think about it, what kind of person like me is your grandfather, how could I get the worst of it?” Chu Nan Shan tore apart the chicken leg with one hand, he opened his mouth and bit off half of the meat on it, his both eyes half squinted while he chewed, his expression seemed to be quite enjoying it “Your grandpa is old, sooner or later the my position will be handed over to another person, rather than making you all badly bruised while fighting for it, it would be better for me to determine my decision earlier! With your ability, grandpa certainly know what was going on in your mind! With the silly girl Meng’s ability, grandpa also have a plan in my mind! Just don’t decline my offer!”

  Yun Qian Meng laid down the bowl and chopsticks, watching Chu Nan Shan seemingly hard to conceal the depressed expression on his face, her eyes seemed to be concerned, then she gently asked “Grandpa, your are actually hale and hearty despite the years, this title is yours as a king was actually obtained in exchange of your flesh and blood, how can we reap it without sowing?”

  Although the power was good, but at the same time Yun Qian Meng was also able to realize that, once a person crawled higher, if one day by any chance that person would fall down, it will very likely for that person to seriously tumble down! Although Chu Nan Shan wholeheartedly wanted to pave way for his grandson, but based on Chu Fei Yang’s nature, perhaps it will not be easy for him to accept it! And as for herself, all the trouble that will come across the position of Wang Fei, will only be much more complicated than being Chu Furen!

  ‘Pak!’ With the chicken bone being thrown on the table, Chu Wang wiped off the grease in his mouth, frowning as he said “What do you mean by hale and hearty? I am old, how can I not accept this fact? Jiao Da, help me up, allow the physician to check my pulse once we returned back, I always feel my belly being bloated recently, perhaps when a person gets old, health problems will begin to appear!”

  While speaking, Chu Nan Shan strongly squeezed his arm in Jiao Da’s arms, tugging at Jiao Da as they both stepped out of Meng Xin Xiao Zhu.

  Yun Qian Meng looked at the pile of chicken bone and the pot without a single drop of soup left behind, her eyes flickered grudgingly, even the youngsters who consumed the entire chicken, would also feel bloated, how could Chu Wang say he had fallen ill, it was only because he ate too much!

  With a hand gesture instructing the servant girls to take out the leftovers, Yun Qian Meng held Chu Fei Yang’s hand as they walked out of Meng Xin Xiao Zhu, the color of the sky outside was already pitch-black, and the sky was already decorated with stars glistening brightly, those twinkling beam of lights were like beacon lights guiding the pathway on their feet.

  As compared to the warmth inside the room, the temperature outside seemed to be penetratingly cold, but as compared to the coldness in front of Xia Hou Ying’s tombstone during the day, this Xiang Fu seemed to be more occupied!

  “You want come out yet you didn’t add more clothing!” Seeing Yun Qian Meng only wore her home clothing, only wearing a layer of amber coat, Chu Fei Yang seemed discontented, he was about to Yun Qian Meng back to the room, yet he was being dragged forward by Yun Qian Meng.

  “I just finished my meal, my body was still fully heated up, I won’t feel cold! Besides, after the meal everyday I would sit inside the room, not only will the food get retained in the stomach due to indigestion, but I always feel sleepy, it would be better to walk around after the meal, it will both benefit my mood and my body!” Permitting Chu Fei Yang to feel the temperature in her hands, after ensuring that she will not feel cold, Yun Qian Meng smiled as she spoke, her feet were stepping on Chu Fei Yang’s shadow, step by step as she steadily marched forward.

  Watching her small actions, Chu Fei Yang couldn’t help but slightly hooked up the corner of his mouth, slowly tightening up his hands which were holding on to hers, firmly hauled her beside him, not allowing Yun Qian Meng to have any chance of falling down! But because of the purpose of Yun Qian Meng’s actions, his heart cherished this person beside him even more.

  “Fei Yang, if grandpa insisted to do it this way, we had better accept it!” Just because Yun Qian Meng knew very well about Chu Fei Yang’s arrogance, she had particularly led him outside with her, allowing the air outside to cool down his head “Or compared to letting grandpa hand over the title of king to a person he dislikes, it would be better for you to take over Chu Wang Fu!”

  Chu Fei Yang turned his eyes to stare at Yun Qian Meng’s slightly bent profile, under the moonlight her luster white skin was suffused with pearl like radiance, similar to the top quality glossy and mild sheep-fat white jade, yet it didn’t appear to be inelegant flashing with brilliant lights, its understated radiance made Yun Qian Meng appear to be noble and elegant, the brilliant lights and vibrant colors in her eyes reflected brilliant rays of being wise and farsighted, causing Chu Fei Yang to be in a great mood for a period of time, indeed he was starting not to feel more resistant towards Chu Wang’s suggestion as compared to what he felt earlier.

  Yun Qian Meng didn’t say all the things that she intended to say, but Chu Fei Yang already understood what she was meaning to say.

  After all, Grandpa possessed quite a number of powerful privilege that made people drool, particularly the military power of Chu family that was highly revered was a layer of fort that was indestructible, if a person who had an ulteri
or motive obtained Chu Wang’s position, it will be very likely for Xi Chu to be confronted with a major catastrophe, and if Yu Qian Di will take back the title of Chu Wang, perhaps the Chu family will die without a burial site in the future! Rather than sitting around and waiting for death to arrive, it would be better for them to make it happen the sooner the better, breaking off everybody’s wish, and also helping the Chu family to temper itself through the hardships.

  “Meng’er, if grandpa knew that you were the one who persuaded me, he will certainly feel very happy!” Slightly ceasing his footsteps, Chu Fei Yang pulled Yun Qian Meng was standing in front of him closer to himself, while she was lifting her head up to glance at him looking puzzled, he speak out this statement slowly.

  At the same time, his heart was secretly sighing, facing her, it was always very easy for him to compromise.

  And after Yun Qian Meng heard his grumbling, she laughed, her laugh was brilliant and dazzling, which made her look more attractive than the stars in the sky.

  “You already had a decision in your heart, I am merely just taking advantage of the situation!” As for Chu Fei Yang, even if he was to take over the position of Chu Wang, he will obtain it based on his own efforts!

  Now that Chu Wang had informed him that he will soon inherit the title of wang, it was natural for Chu Fei Yang to feel a little awkward in his heart, Yun Qian Meng was merely just soothing down the uncomfortable feeling in his heart, yet it will not be able to change the decision that Chu Fei Yang had already made up in his mind.

  The next day morning, Yun Qian Meng was having her breakfast, when Yuan Dong approached her and bent her knees, then she whispered beside her ears “Xiaojie, early in the morning Er Furen had brought the Er Gongzi and the two Xie sisters along with her as they proceeded to Pu Guo An!”

  Picking up the food her hand slightly paused, Yun Qian Meng exposed a simple smile, then she started to ask indifferently “Are there other persons who went with them?”

  “Humble servant saw the horse carriage of Wen Fu went along with them, apparently it was not only Wen Er Furen who went with them, but also Wen Da Furen as well!” Yuan Dong conscientiously told everything that she had seen in full details.

  Yun Qian Meng was slowly stirring the slightly steaming hot porridge, the smiling expression in the corner of her mouth seemed even colder under the steam, Xie Shi’s action was quite abnormally fast, she just said it the day before yesterday, then she carried it out today, apparently, not only was Xie Shi being the top ranking in social interactions, but even her action skills truly surpassed any ordinary person.

  “Xiaojie, it seems like our Er Furen loves her nieces very dearly, wherever she goes she would bring the Xie ladies with her, on the contrary she would let her own daughter stay behind inside Wang Fu!” Mu Chun picked up a piece of bread for Yun Qian Meng, then analyzed Xie Shi’s every move in a lowered voice.

  Yun Qian Meng took the piece of bread from the small plate, softly took a bite, slowly tasting the flavor of the bread, although it was ordinary but it was still chewy, then she slowly spoke “When we went to Wang Fu the day before yesterday, didn’t Er Niang mention that Jie’er was not feeling well? She probably hadn’t completely recovered yet, now that the weather is also abnormally cold, she obviously wouldn’t let her go out!”

  But, this Chu Qing Yang was rather unoccupied, recently he was always following behind Xie Shi, today he even followed a group of upper-class women to Pu Guo An, that was truly suspicious!

  “Xiaojie, a group of people has arrived in the doorway of Xiang Fu, they were requesting to see Xiang Ye and you, my lady!” This time, Ying Xia quickly walked inside, seeing Yun Qian Meng eating her breakfast, she immediately saluted, then she quickly reported.

  “What sort of people?” Laying down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands, Yun Qian Meng took the handkerchief handed over to her by Mu Chun then wiped the corner of her mouth, feeling somewhat confused as she asked.

  After all, among the people inside the capital, the person who would dare to create a disturbance in front of the doorway of Chu Xiang Fu, aside from Chu Wang, no one else would dare do it.

  “Humble servant has no idea! But, when Shang Guan Mama heard the commotion she had proceeded in advance to handle it!” Ying Xia sincerely shook her head, but she felt a bit curious about the clothing and personal adornment of those people “Xiaojie, I saw the clothes worn by those young women knocking on the door were not very similar to ours! They actually seemed like the clothings of a different tribe!”

  Upon hearing the words ‘different tribe’ from Ying Xia, three words ‘Xia Hou Zhu’ had unexpectedly came into Yun Qian Meng’s mind, the calmness on her face gradually transformed into a grave expression, she quickly stood up, under the puzzled look of the few servant girls she quickly stepped out of the room, walking towards the main door of Chu Xiang Fu.

  Upon reaching the main door, Steward Hong was instructing people to open the main gate of Chu Xiang Fu, outside the door which was slowly being opened, an old man in his seventies just stood there, and a young girl stood beside him, that old man’s vision was sharp with an incisive wisdom and calmness that seemed to have accumulated over a long period of time, deep wrinkles retained on his face as years gone by, yet it wasn’t hard to see that he was also once a very young and energetic man before, although he was already in his old years, but his back was still tall and straight like a pine tree, with each step on the stairs it seemed to show his unflustered and calm composure given to him due to his age, that dignified attitude shown by him caused the observer to virtually feel ashamed, they couldn’t help but bowed down their heads to salute this elderly man.

  And beside him was a young girl who seemed to be blooming due to her age, her face was full of youthful energy brimming with the smile of youth, although she was not too old, but judging by her way of cautiously assisting the old man, it can be clearly seen that she certainly is an obedient person.

  That pair of lovely eyes was unlike those pretty eyes she had normally seen during the usual days which were concealed with wild schemes, looked even more profound, her delicate white skin was suffused with faint pinkness, those brows that were perfectly shaped without drawing them, those lips that were naturally red without painting them, revealed an exceptionally beautiful woman, particularly those eyes which were as clear as water even more added the vital finishing touch as they contained in that young woman’s face, making her looked quite unforgettable.

  Looking at her clothes once again, it seemed to be different from the broad sleeves elegant clothes worn by the women of the capital, the young woman was wearing well-fitting narrow sleeves female clothing, the materials of the clothing weren’t made of valuable silk cloth, but the extremely cozy mixed fabric made from cotton hemp and silk, the color was extremely vibrant, which looked intensely striking in the eyes.

  Looking at the two persons who slowly walked inside the main door of Xiang Fu, Yun Qian Meng gradually have a conclusion as to their identities, immediately leading the few servant girls behind her and waited inside the main door of Xiang Fu, slightly bending her both knees, facing that old man she respectfully saluted “Granddaughter-in-law is pleased to meet you, waizufu!”

  (waizufu: maternal granfather)

  Due to Yun Qian Meng’s appearance he slightly halted his steps, that old man looked at Yun Qian Meng, carefully observed this woman who came forward to salute him, seeing Yun Qian Meng was quite young, but she seemed to be imposing, facing the person that she met for the very first time she was able to remain unperturbed, the vital energy that she had shown wasn’t arrogant nor impatient, without obtaining his response she was able to remain in her posture of making salutations, a smiling expression flashed through the elderly man’s eyes.

  And the young woman beside him was staring at Yun Qian Meng with both eyes wide open, her eyes looked pleased, immediately let go of the old man she approached beside Yun Qian Meng as she smiled and said “Grandpa, she must be my cousin-in
-law!”

  “Stand up now!” Until this moment, the old man slowly spoke, his voice sounded deep and low, completely in contrast with Chu Wang’s loud and clear voice, and based on the impression that the old man had given to everybody, this leader of the Xia Hou’s tribe was probably a calm person, which was completely different from Chu Wang’s outgoing and frivolous personality.

  “Granddaughter-in-law has arrived late, please forgive me, waizufu!” With the Xia Hou tribe leader’s pair of omniscient eyes, under this pair of eagle like eyes anyone wouldn’t be able to conceal the good and evil human nature, in front of this elderly man all sorts of disguise will be nothing more than futile efforts, Yun Qian Meng didn’t seek to obtain everyone’s approval, but in front of Chu Fei Yang’s relatives, it will be sufficient enough to show her sincerity.

  “Where’s Fei Yang?” But the elderly man had nevertheless shifted the subject of the conversation, seeing that there were only females present in this huge Chu Xiang Fu, the tone of voice of the elderly man seemed a bit concerned.

  From the elderly man’s spoken words, Yun Qian Meng managed to discover a bit of his nature, this Xia Hou tribe leader was very likely to be similar with Chu Wang, both men didn’t put more emphasis on etiquette, or else why wouldn’t he look further into her fault for being late?

  Moreover during the ancient times such ideology like valuing the males and belittling the females was already deeply rooted in the minds of people, yet the elderly man only brought his very own granddaughter with him, in addition to what Chu Fei Yang had mentioned that Xia Hou Ying was the elderly man’s most beloved daughter, for the sake of his daughter’s happiness, he had selected very carefully and settled upon Chu Pei!

  But, a wise man also made mistakes, although Chu Pei’s family background was great, yet he wasn’t a good husband for Xia Hou Ying, it was a pity for a woman of unmatched beauty like Xia Hou Ying.

  “Waifuzu, my husband had to attend the royal court assembly inside the imperial palace in the morning. Perhaps he will be back at noon time. Please come inside to take some rest, waizufu!” Yun Qian Meng had given the young woman a friendly smile, then leading the men of Xia Hou tribe inside Chu Xiang Fu as they proceeded to the main hall.
