Chapter 209 (Part 2) Love is in sky of affection (8)


    Thete emperor raised little master Feng Huang like his daughter and spoiled her to the heavens.


    I had never seen thete emperor pamper and indulge a person so much. He held little master Feng Huang in his arms, allowing her to see a farther scenery in a higher position. He stripped the lychee and fed it into little master Feng Huang’s red lips.


    Because little master Feng Huang liked white, he ordered people to weave silk that was softer than the clouds to make new clothes for little master Feng Huang.


    In short, the emperor put all his indulgence on little master Feng Huang. He even wanted to make little master Feng Huang a princess, but was rejected by little master Feng Huang. At that time, little master Feng Huang said one sentence. Thete emperor didn’t pay attention, but I listened to it with my heart.


    “Ming Yue Cheng, I don’t want to be a princess! A princess is too far away from you!”


    Thete emperor saw these words as being childish, but I saw a certain thing from little master Feng Huang’s eyes. At that time, my heart shook a bit, but when little master Feng Huang looked at me, I lowered my head.


    Little master Feng Huang was very satisfied with my performance. She willfully enjoyed the indulgence of thete emperor and wrote a letter to her parents saying that she liked Nan Feng and wanted to stay here.


    I don’t what Feng Qi Qi would think after she read that letter. I’m afraid that she and Feng Cang may not know that their seven-year-old daughter had fallen in love with thete emperor. Light shed inside that pair of clear eyes. Aside from I, this outsider, who can see thoroughly, even thete emperor didn’t take notice.


    Little master Feng Huang stayed in the pce for eight years.


    Eight years were like a shuttle. Little master Feng Huang had grown from a little girl to a slender and elegant woman.


    At that time, Feng Qi Qi no longer showed her face to the world. The title of the number one beauty went from princess to Ming Yue to Feng Qi Qi, and then fell on little master Feng Huang.


    Although, she was only fifteen years old, little master Feng Huang has be a famous beauty in the maind. She was pure as the dew on the green leaves in the morning and clean like the snowdrops on the top of the sky. Everyone who saw little master Feng Huang would be intoxicated by her gentleughter and affectionate voice.


    Like her mother, she had an eye-catching charm and a modesty that couldn’t be found in the nobility.


    The good name of little master Feng Huang became known to all as she grew older and became the object of love of the young masters.


    “Ming Yue Cheng, I don’t like those men!” Little master Feng Huang was gentle. Her face would only change at one moment; that was, when someone confessed to her. Every time when little master Feng Huang say this sentence, thete emperor would rub her head gently and ask affectionately, “What kind of man does Long Er like? I will find him for you!”


    “I like you!”


    Little master Feng Huang had always been straightforward. I still remember the first time she said that. Thete emperor was startled at first and thenughed out loudly, “Long Er, I’m already old.”


    Two hidden meanings were revealed with thete emperor saying this. The first one was that he already knew the love little master Feng Huang had towards him. The second was that he wouldn’t ept the feelings of little master Feng Huang.


    Such an answer, how could someone as clever as little master Feng Huang not know the hidden meaning? However, her answer was even more surprising, “Ming Yue Cheng, I wouldn’t give up!”


    If someone asked me, what will happen when two people with a strong will collide, I would tell him that, that was a test of the heart and the affection. It would be the same struggle as running a long-distance marathon. It would be...rocked by a major disaster!


    On little master Feng Huang’s sixteenth birthday, I saw Feng Qi Qi again. When she stood together with little master Feng Huang, her age couldn’t be told. Those who didn’t know would think that they were a pair of twin sisters.


    Those who came with Feng Qi Qi were her husband and sons. Their family was riunited in the pce of thete emperor.


    To be able to see Feng Qi Qi, thete emperor was very happy. The smile on thete emperor’s mouth didn’t disappear for the whole night. When this scene fell on little master Feng Huang’s eyes, it clearly became a pain.


    That night, thete emperor got drunk. I served at his side. Deep in the night, little master Feng Huang suddenly came over. She was dressed thinly andy next to thete emperor. I was so shocked that I almost screamed. She firstly hit my pressure point, making me unable to move.


    “Why won’t you take one more nce at me? We’re only twenty-six years apart! Why wouldn’t you ept me?”


    Little master Feng Huang snuggled in the arms of the drunkente emperor. She looked pitiful like a child. Her appearance and her tearful voice made me feel heartache.


    “When the emperor was born, I wasn’t born yet. When I was born, the emperor is already old. However, I don’t care. I don’t care at all!”


    Just when little master Feng Huang wanted to kiss thete emperor, thete emperor opened his eyes and stopped her ‘absurd’ behavior.


    “Long Er, from the start till now, my heart only has your mother. She’s the love of my life and also the only woman that I love. You once asked me why the harem was empty. I didn’t answer you. Now, I will tell you, I once promised your mother, the position of the empress will always be reserved for her.”


    “Long Er, you are only a child in my eyes. I can’t be together with your mother, but I treated you and your brothers as my children. I only love you dearly, but it’s not the love between a man and a woman.”


    “Long Er, you should find a young man to love you and not cling to me!”


    I feel that the words of thete emperor were a bit cruel to little master Feng Huang. That treasure that thete emperor held in his hands, tears fell from her eyes for the first time in my memory.


    “I know you love my mother, but I won’t give up. Here has me!” Little master Feng Huang put her hand on thete emperor’s chest. “You have me in your eyes and in your heart. You can lie to me, but you can’t lie to yourself!”


    After saying this, little master Feng Huang ran out barefooted.


    “Long Er...” If it was in the past, thete emperor would definitely chase after her. The night was dark, the wind was strong and little master Feng Huang ran barefooted, thete emperor would definitely be worried about her. However, this time, thete emperor only called little master Feng Huang’s nickname once but didn’t chase after her.


    “Fu Er, did I do wrong?”


    Thete emperor asked me, but my pressure point was hit. I couldn’t make a sound. Even after my pressure point was released, I couldn’t answer this question to thete emperor. After all, I’m not the involved party. I didn’t have anything to do with this and couldn’t feel all the emotions of this matter. Naturally, I couldn’t say anything about this.


    After that night, little master Feng Huang left a letter and left without saying goodbye. The letter only said that she wanted to travel through the maind to let herself be mature. However, I obviously saw an emotion called heart-tearing pain on thete emperor’s face.


    In the days that followed, little master Feng Huang would sent letters every three days. It was still the handwriting that thete emperor was familiar with. The content was nothing more than where she had gone to and what she saw. It was just, at the end of each letter, little master Feng Huang would write a sentence, “Wait for me toe back.”


    This kind of thing had been going on for a year. Suddenly, little master Feng Huang didn’t send more letters. For a long time, she didn’t write a letter.


    During that time, I obviously was able to detect that the emperor was not right. When he was reading the memorials, he would immediately raise his head when he heard footsteps. He wanted to know if it was the eunuch who brought little master Feng Huang’s letter. The repeatedly disappointment made thete emperor’s face graver and also made him thinner.


    Little master Feng Huang disappeared like that out of nowhere. Even her family didn’t know where she went. After reading the letter written by Feng Qi Qi, thete emperor waspletely anxious. Feng Huang had always been filial. She wouldn’t not keep in contact with her family. However, this time, even her family didn’t know where she went. Thete emperor was sure that something had happened to her.


    Feng Xiao was recalled by thete emperor. Thete emperor passed the throne to him. He took the letters written by little master Feng Huang and began to trace the footprints of Feng Huang. In other words, thete emperor walked on the roads she walked on and drank the soup she tasted...Thete emperor began from the first letter and followed the footsteps of each letter to explore the whereabouts of little master Feng Huang.


    Contrary to the attitude of thete emperor, Feng Qi Qi didn’t seem the slightest bit worried about her daughter nor did she send people to search for little master Feng Huang. This was a bit unusual. I noticed it, but I didn’t tell thete emperor. I just followed him all the way. In the end, we reached Xiliang City, the former capital of Xi Qi.


    At this point, Xi Qi had already be Nan Feng’s territory for many years. Returning once again to the ce where we were held hostage for ten years, my heart had too many emotions.


    Thest letter of little master Feng Huang was sent from here. After that, there was no more news of her.


    I and thete emperor took the portrait of little master Feng Huang and posted it everywhere. So, people could help find the whereabouts of little master Feng Huang. We stayed for a month.


    This month, I watched thete emperor change from a mature and handsome man to someone dirty. Ayer of beard grew on his clean chin which looked very decadent, dispirited and listless.


    “Fu Er, I lost her.” Thete emperor looked at theing and going people in the city of Xiliang and said that to me. There was endless remorse in this statement which made me pity this emperor.


    Thete emperor, this involved party probably wasn’t aware that his love for her had changed long ago from the love of an elder for the younger generation to a love between a man and a woman. It was said that the person on the spot is baffled, the onlooker sees clear. Although, I was an onlooker, but I couldn’t say anything.


    The person on the spot is baffled, the onlooker sees clear. The not involved party sees more of the situation.


    “Uncle, this is something a sister asked me to give you.”


    Just when thete emperor fell into loneliness once again, a child with a teapot hairstyle, stuffed a note to thete emperor and then ran awayughingly.


    I don’t know when I saw this scene, I suddenly felt that hope wasing. Before I reacted, thete emperor already ran away regardless of his image.


    I was old and really couldn’t keep up with thete emperor. I could only hire a carriage and chased. When I caught up with thete emperor, we hade to ake. A small boat was parked on the shore. It seemed to be waiting for us.


    When we went by boat to the big boat in the middle of theke, a sound of zither came over. At that time, I clearly saw that the hand of thete emperor began to tremble. Only she could y such a beautiful music.


    As a qualified servant, I didn’t follow thete emperor. Instead, I left this ce for them.


    However, even so, I heard little master Feng Huang’s voice. I swear that I only heard two sentences. Those sentences said this.


    “In the past, you met my mother on this boat and fell in love with her. Now, you met me here, can you also love me once?”


    What happened after that, I don’t know. Even if you question me intensely, I don’t know what had happened. Forgive me for being an old man. Old people forget easily. I don’t remember many, many things anymore.


    Maybe, you will say that I was ying the fool. Then, you are very right! As a servant who lived for sixty years in the pce, to be able to live, there must be a way to survive and keep his life. For example I, I know what I should and shouldn’t say. I also know when I should understand things and when I should y the fool.


    I can only tell you that after this, thete emperor apanied little master Feng Huang to the Number on vige under Heavens in Yongzhou. I am old. Thete emperor waspassionate. He didn’t let me follow. As for what had happened there, I don’t know.


    What I do know is that the ending of this story is cliché. Thete emperor and little master Feng Huang lived happily together. Everyone one, including I, this old eunuch who couldn’t get any older, lived happily.
