Chapter 59.1: Ill Intentions

 

“Tell the Emperor that this Prince gives him only half an incense stick’s time. After a half incense stick’s time, this Prince still wants to eat Shuang Er’s grapes.”

Long Moshen said to the old eunuch icily.

Mu Wushuang’s face reddened. Oy! Imperial Uncle, that’s a little too much! What do you mean by eating my grapes? Don’t you know that your choice of words are highly suggestive!

But seeing that it was because the Imperial Uncle was worried for her safety, she would not hold it against him this time.

The old eunuch’s face turned greens as the vegetables at the banquet and he nodded: “This old servant will relay the message to His Majesty.”

After that, Mu Wushuang then followed the old eunuch to come to an open air pavilion outside the main hall. In just a short while, Ximen Sheng clad in bright yellow came walking in, a smile on his face.

Mu Wushuang glanced at the man, and scoffed inside her heart. What a poor thing. He has to force himself to smile even though he doesn’t want to, making that smile on his face look as ugly as a ghost’s.

Unknown to her, Ximen Sheng had his belly full of rage at that moment. The old eunuch had passed the Imperial Uncle’s message to him and he just could not stand that man’s attitude towards him, like he was not the Emperor at all, and Long Moshen was the Son of Heaven instead. He really hated that Imperial Uncle who carried a different surname and always acted so high and mighty, which just debased him right into the mud.

And what he hated even more was he still had to be wary of what Long Moshen was capable of, not daring to clash with the man directly, and had no choice but to acquiesce to the man’s wishes.

But, in order to coax and win over Mu Wushuang, he also had no choice but to put on a genteel smile on his face, not knowing that Mu Wushuang had already seen right through his thoughts.

“Your vassal pays her respects to His Majesty.”

Mu Wushuang bowed perfunctorily.

“Dispense with the formalities.” Ximen Sheng said gently as he looked at the young lady. “This Emperor here mistook you for a palace maid in the Imperial Garden earlier and has yet to  apologize to you. I hope you do not mind the discourtesy that this Emperor has shown instead.”

 “Your Majesty worries too much. Your vassal would not dare. If your vassal knew that you were the Emperor, I would have picked the jade pendant up for you.” Mu Wushuang played along, wanting to see what the Emperor was really up to.

“Wushuang does not need to do that. This Emperor likes the uninhibited Mu Wushuang when she does not see me as the Emperor. Throughout the entire Imperial Palace, everyone is fearful and submissive of this Emperor and no one dares to even look at me in my eye, making this Emperor feel as though I am a giant beast here in the palace, and I have no one to share a heart to heart talk with at all.”

Ximen Sheng sighed sadly, his face looking depressed and lonely.

Mu Wushang blinked her eyes blankly. So he spent a good half of the day here to put up a show just to have a “heart to heart” talk with her?

She had watched these old and overdone scripts shown on palace intrigue dramas more than five times at least on television before. Is Ximen Sheng trying to play the star heartthrob in a drama set in ancient times?
