Chapter 525: No the roles are reversed (2)
Nanny Meng had taken the job of taking care of Concubine Chu after her previous nanny gave up on her job and passed the baton to Nanny Meng. Back then Nanny Meng thought that the old woman seemed to have lost her head, after all, who would give up the chance of following after an imperial concubine.
She also did not understand the pitiful and sympathetic glance that the old woman gave her when she was leaving.
In fact, she even patted her on the shoulder before leaving. Back then Nanny Meng thought that the old woman was only scaring her but now Nanny Meng was having other thoughts.
Why was Concubine Chu looking at Liu Hui Ying as if she was in love with her? Should she not be looking like this at his majesty? And why was she so happy when Liu Hui Ying promised that she would come to her courtyard, like a lover waiting for their beloved to come and look for them?
This was definitely wrong! Or was she the one thinking too much?
Liu Hui Ying could sense someone looking at her and that too rather fervently, which was why she turned to look behind her and was stunned to see when she saw that Nanny Meng who came with Concubine Chu was looking at her as if she had stolen something rather precious from her.
'Why is she looking at me like that?' Liu Hui Ying questioned with a frown.
However, Concubine Chu who was the cause of this scandal did not have any idea what kind of problem she had created, she only cared about one thing and that was —— Liu Hui Ying agreed to meet her at the night and that too in her courtyard!
This was totally the start of an unreasonable and dangerous love story!
"By the way, Your Majesty, I——" Concubine Chu spoke up but then her foot fell on a puddle that was frozen causing her to slip.
Liu Hui Ying who noticed Concubine Chu falling immediately reached out and caught her in her arms. "Careful," she said as she hugged Concubine Chu and straightened her up.
"Thank you…your majesty," Concubine Chu spoke with a dreamy voice.
Nanny Meng who stood behind the two of them blinked her eyes and then closed her eyes. Now she understood why that old hag left the job, in the past she foolishly thought that the previous Nanny left a freaking meat pie for her to devour but only now Nanny Meng understood that woman left a freaking mess for her!
Concubine Chu was actually in love with the Empress and not the Emperor!
"His majesty, the Emperor has arrived!" The sound of a young eunuch echoed in the courtyard.
Zhai Tianyu arrived at the Phoenix courtyard to see Liu Hui Ying and ask her whether she or not she liked this gift that he had prepared for her but to his surprise, he found his official wife embracing another one of his wives.
The smile on his lips stiffened in place as if he was frozen in place.
"That…isn't that Concubine Chu?" Yu Lingyun remarked as he looked at the two women who were hugging. He turned to look at Zhai Tianyu whose face was frozen stiff and softened his voice, "Your majesty…? Hey…?"
Whoosh.
Yu Lingyun did not even get to finish his words, as Zhai Tianyu moved towards Liu Hui Ying and that too at a pace which was way too fast for the Emperor. In the past, Zhai Tianyu often used to say that the Emperor of a country was supposed to walk elegantly and slowly.
The more elegant and firm the pace of the Emperor was the more stabilized one's country was, however, he seemed to have changed a lot with the amount of running he was doing for Liu Hui Ying's sake.
Like right now. It seemed like he was flying with how fast his feet were moving.
"What is he doing?" Zhai Heng asked with a frown.
Yu Lingyun on the other hand rolled his eyes and then said, "Just be glad that he is only using his legs and not the martial arts that he often uses …. It's enough to show that he still has a bit of rationality left. Thank the heavens."
The two of them were afraid that Zhai Tianyu would lose his mind while chasing after Liu Hui Ying as he did in the afternoon court session where he told everyone that he was handing the Empress courtyard to Liu Hui Ying. Heaven knows how scared they were when Zhai Tianyu suddenly announced that decision without discussing it with them.

However, at the same time they knew that it was about time for Liu Hui Ying to get ownership of the Phoenix Palace or else anyone would be able to step on her head.
It was just that they were a bit wary of Grand Empress Dowager's reaction.
She was not going to let this matter lie at rest with ease.
On the other hand, Zhai Tianyu arrived next to Liu Hui Ying and then snatched Concubine Chu from Liu Hui Ying's arms before pushing the latter to Nanny Meng.
"My queen, concubine Chu…I hope that you two are fine?" As he spoke to concubine Chu he almost snapped off his teeth with how hard he gritted his teeth.
Concubine Chu was unhappy to see Zhai Tianyu, she narrowed her eyes and glared at him but she did not forget her manners. This might be the only reason why she bowed her head and then greeted Zhai Tianyu, " Greetings your majesty. I hope your life is longer than the land on this earth and your fame is higher than that of the sky."
She raised her head and looked at Zhai Tianyu coldly who knew that the greetings that concubine Chu gave, she did not mean even one of them.
He smiled stiffly and then said, "Can you leave us... I want to talk to my 'wife'." He emphasised the word wife causing Concubine Chu to glare at him.
Nanny Meng: "…" Like I said this is wrong! The roles are reversed!
