[under editing]Transmigration : Wake Up as an Annoying Concubine

5 - Meet the beauty

-ignore the cat-

Wu Zhang Wei rarely meets old Li Xiu Ying. Only someone who is close to him, like Li Shizen or Jing Yi could recognize when Xiu Ying wears no makeup.

Silent filled the courtyard. Only sounds of water fountains and birds are heard.

Since no one speaks up, Xiu Ying breaks the silence, "Pardon for Chen rudeness Your Majesty. May this lowly concubine know the reason for this visit? Did this concubine do anything wrong?"

Wu Zhang Wei's eyes widened. 'He is too calm. He is not acting like before. He's no longer clingy. He has changed...? Ha! Maybe this is his new tactic. Trying to play push and pull with me. Do you think if you pretend to no longer care about this emperor, this emperor will come and look for you? Not a chance! I won't fall for your tricks.'

"No. Concubine Li didn't do anything wrong. Zhen came here just to meet Prime Minister Li. Zhen has something to talk with him." Wu Zhang Wei replied coldly.

"Oh if it's like that, Chen won't impose on Your Majesty and my father. Chen will take my leave."

Xiu Ying turns around, "Father, Xiu Ying go inside first. Please take care of yourself and mother. Xiu Ying will come and visit later."

Li Shizen smiles and gently caresses Xiu Ying's back of the head. Xiu Ying turns back, bows to Wu Zhang Wei and Huang Fei Hong then walks out of the courtyard, without turning back, heading to his room.

Feels like a gush of cold wind just passed when Xiu Ying walked past Wu Zhang Wei. Even Fei Hong noticed that his childhood friend was standing stiff.

'First time being rejected, huh?' Fei Hong smirks.

.....

Inside a room in the main palace

Huang Fei Hong tries so hard to control his laugh when he sees the majestic emperor's gloomy face after being ignored by a mere concubine.

"Ehemm... Hmm... Your Majesty, it seems like Concubine Li- I mean BEAUTIFUL Concubine Li is no longer interested in Your Majesty. I bet your majesty must feel delighted, am I right?" Fei Hong cupped his mouth, holding his laugh.

Wu Zhang Wei squints his eyes. "Wait... Are you sure that's Concubine Li?"

"Didn't you hear when he introduced himself before? He is Li Xiu Ying. And if he's not, for sure Prime Minister Li will know at a glance."

"But it doesn't make any sense! In just a few days, he's totally changed. It's like he became another person. And he even looks... different." Zhang Wei mumbles the last part.

"He's beautiful, right?" Fei Hong smirks.

"........"

"Just admit it that you think he is beautiful. Even more beautiful than other consorts. Seems like, what my men said is true."

"........"

Looking at his dazing friend, Fei Hong sighs. "I think maybe he changed due to the poisoning incident. Maybe he values his life more and he won't pester you anymore. In that way, other consorts will not harm him again."

Wu Zhang Wei abruptly turns his head towards Fei Hong. 'Yeah... Maybe that's right... But I thought he was so brave, after being threatened once, he already admitted defeat? Hmph!'

"Well, I think it is good news for you. You won't have to worry about him and he also won't disturb your life. That's what you want right?" Fei Hong stares at Wu Zhang Wei when he said this.
