Xiao Wangye's Beloved Wife

Chapter 23. Business With Wu Guifei

"Please forgive the impoliteness of this concubine, Xiao Wangfei. But at this moment my Palace could not accept anyone's guest-" Unfinished Wu Zeyuan spoke, Huang Mingxiang casually cut his words as he walked towards the chair and sat gracefully there.

"The more you are consumed by emotions, the more it will take your brain to think. Calm yourself first, Wu Guifei." Huang Mingxiang stared at the small porcelain cups arranged in a mess on the table.

Wu Guifei snorted faintly, he really did not understand why Huang Mingxiang had suddenly barged into his Palace. If not for Huang Mingxiang's 'Wangfei' title, Wu Zeyuan had already since asked the servant to forcibly expel Huang Mingxiang. His anger was even more explosive when he remembered Huang Mingxiang was the younger brother of Huang Liyue.

Huang Mingxiang knew the possibility of the problem. On the day of the Palace's celebration of affection, the Emperor will usually have two official escorts. First Huanghou, Huanghou was the absolute companion of the Emperor who could not be replaced. But for one more companion seat, it is usually chosen from among concubines whose titles are around Huang Guifei, Guifei, or Fei. If Huang Mingxiang was to guess, there must be a problem regarding the position of the concubine who would accompany the Emperor.

"Is this the matter of the Emperor's concubine escort tonight?" huang Mingxiang asked, his lips still smiling.

"Come on, Wu Guifei. This wangfei wants to talk to you," Huang Mingxiang continued.

Wu Guifei glanced at his personal servant, throwing some eye gestures. Before long, his servant came out and closed the door tightly. Wu Guifei walked over and sat on the chair opposite to Huang Mingxiang.

"Is this because of my Jiejie?" huang Mingxiang asked, his right hand erecting five small porcelain cups.

"How can this concubine know that Wangfei is on the same line or not?" wu Zeyuan replied, he's not stupid.

Huang Mingxiang frowned thinly. "As the winner of yesterday's selection, of course you know what happened, right? From there you can easily guess whether we are on the same line or not."

Wu Guifei was silent, his beautiful round eyes staring at Huang Mingxiang vigilantly. Huang Mingxiang shrugged both of his shoulders indifferently. "I want to build some profitable business with you, but don't know if you're willing or not."

"What business?" wu Guifei asked, curious. His vigilance is still high.

Huang Mingxiang smiled coldly. "You want to be a winner in this Harem?"

"What does Xiao Wangfei mean?" asked Wu Zeyuan back.

"I asked expecting an answer, not back asking," replied Huang Mingxiang, his right hand leaning against the table to support his chin. The fox eyes of Huang Mingxiang stared fixedly at Wu Zeyuan.

"What is the guarantee if Wangfei is really on the same line? I certainly can't talk carelessly, the walls of this Palace have ears" Wu Zeyuan replied.

Huang Mingxiang chuckled. "Shall I repeat my words again? What makes you doubt?"

"You and Huang Guifei are matching sisters since childhood, what if-" Unfinished Wu Zeyuan spoke, Huang Mingxiang has already cut in fast. "For what status are sisters compatible if they matured into each other*** and dropped?"

"If you want to take his heart, then I want to take his head," Huang Mingxiang continued, flashes of hatred and resentment began to appear in his eyes. This made Wu Zeyuan stunned.

"Wu Guifei, this Wangfei won't say much to this business. If you agree, say yes, if not, then say no. Take a good look at the benefits if you agree," said Huang Mingxiang, then his eyes shifted to look at the five cups that had been neatly arranged on the table, Wu Zeyuan followed the direction of his gaze.

The five glasses were symbolized as Huang Mingxiang, Huangtaihou, Wu Zeyuan, Huang Liyue, and Huanghou.

"You are currently alone inside the Harem, having no allies whatsoever. But in contrast to Huang Liyue, from the very beginning he had been supported by Huanghou to take me down." Huang Mingxiang separated the glasses into three halves forming a triangular angle.

One part was the title of himself and Huangtaihou, the second part was Huanghou and Huang Liyue, and the third part, Wu Zeyuan himself.

"If you accept this business, it's easy for this Wangfei to make Huangtaihou like you. As you know, Huangtaihou will never say no to my words as long as it does not interfere with the position of the Emperor, his son. With Huangtaihou's help, you can conquer these two."

Huang Mingxiang now switched to fusing his own Wu Zeyuan glass to the glass row of himself and Huangtaihou.

"Huangtaihou is a firm loving person, but sometimes his heart is more inclined to take over than his logic. If you have a good relationship with Huangtaihou and get affection, then later if you have problems, you have a backrest. Huangtaihou was indeed difficult to approach, but with Wangfei's help, it wasn't a problem at all."

"Victory is only owned by people who have great guts. If you want to become a winner in this Harem, then show your ability," Huang Mingxiang said, he understood the look on Wu Zeyuan's dilemma face.

"It's impossible for you to take such unfair actions from Huang Guifei and Huanghou for granted, right?" huang Mingxiang asked, sprinkling a little thorn.

"Can Wangfei guarantee the safety of this concubine?" wu Guifei asked, he began to be tempted.

Huang Mingxiang nodded. "As long as you live everything according to what this Wangfei says, then the chance of being safe and successful will be even higher."

Huang Mingxiang looked back at the small porcelain glasses on the table, then picked up one that was described as Wu Zeyuan.

"It won't be fast, but it will work."

Prangs!

Prangs!

Huang Mingxiang put away Rong Xuan and Huang Liyue's glasses until they fell to the floor, breaking apart.

"How's it?" Both of Huang Mingxiang's eyes turned to look at Wu Zeyuan back.

Wu Zeyuan was silent, still thinking. But not too long later, his eyes looked at Huang Mingxiang and answered steadily. "Agreed." Huang Mingxiang smiled with satisfaction at hearing this.

Huang Mingxiang stood up, then walked over towards Wu Zeyuan. Huang Mingxiang lifted Wu Zeyuan's chin with his index finger and said, "You are so, remove the sadness that is on your face. Go prepare, I will wait for you at Huangtaihou Palace."

"Well, Wangfei." Wu Zeyuan nodded slowly.

Huang Mingxiang turned around, then left Wu Zeyuan just like that. Su Mama immediately helped Huang Mingxiang get on the horse carriage, then asked the coachman to take the carriage to Huangtaihou Palace.

While inside the carriage, Huang Mingxiang was shocked because suddenly Su Mama said there was a young female servant who stopped the speed of her carriage. The servant said that he was ordered by his master to bring Huang Mingxiang to an area that no one had ever dared to set foot there. The area is considered a prison and the worst nightmare by the residents of the Harem.

Huang Mingxiang knew who the master the servant meant, because if not the Emperor, who else? No one dared to recklessly enter the territory. He and Xiao Jihuang had not seen each other since Huang Mingxiang had officially become a Consort election participant.

"Wangfei, how?" ask Su Mama.

Huang Mingxiang sighed furiously, why was the man so adamant to meet him?

"It looks like their employer has a very important affair. Follow their will, Su Mama," Huang Mingxiang replied, Su Mama who heard this nodded and asked the coachman to follow the maid. Su Mama had no idea who the master Huang Mingxiang and the female servant meant, she simply obeyed Huang Mingxiang's orders.

After arriving at the back of the cold Palace, Huang Mingxiang rushed down. Su Mama who wanted to accompany Huang Mingxiang was detained by the female servant. At first Su Mama did not agree, but Huang Mingxiang had already said she was fine, then finally Su Mama chose to wait for Huang Mingxiang near the horse carriage.

Huang Mingxiang walked into the cold Palace building, his aura extremely sinister and cold. Anyone who stayed and was punished here would feel an overwhelming loneliness.

As soon as he entered, the female servant who had ushered him earlier immediately bowed towards the man standing behind the white curtain.

"Your highness, Xiao Wangfei has arrived."

Huang Mingxiang stared coldly at the white curtain, then slowly the figure of Xiao Jihuang wearing black clothes and her golden dragon robe appeared. His head was wearing the most majestic crown, signifying that he was the leader and the number one person in this Empire.
