Chapter 5 - the Anger of the Emperor's Favorite Concubine

Long Feng's palace hall was already filled with many neatly lined servants and guards. A man with firm features and sharp eyes was also in the center of the great hall – he was sitting on his throne gracefully – wearing a luxurious black dress with a gold dragon embroidered motif. He was waiting for the banquet.

that person is Jiang Yi in Fengyin's body. Only with the memory of the Feng emperor's body, Jiang Yi was able to adapt even though he was still trying hard to act natural. To be honest, Jiang Yi was still confused by the very new atmosphere for him, let alone being awakened as an emperor, this made Jiang Yi quite nervous. His feelings of nervousness and anxiety were almost the same as when he performed difficult operations on his patients, but this time he felt he was operating on himself to suddenly change from a doctor to an emperor.

From the new memories he got. Jiang Yi knew one thing that his current name was Fengyin Haochun. An emperor who was always cold-faced, so Jiang Yi had to endure to show his cold demeanor. Of course this actually tortured him. For the figure of Jiang Yi who is used to being friendly and full of smiles and then suddenly having to act the opposite of his true nature has become a challenge for him.

As is well known, Jiang Yi himself was also a doctor who had to get used to being friendly to all his patients in order to give them a positive aura. But now the situation is different. He didn't know what the heavens had planned for him. Jiang Yi wondered why he had to reincarnate into a cold figure like this Feng emperor figure? Even the emperor had his nickname which sounded quite terrifying to Jiang Yi's ears.

"Demon Emperor Feng"

Jiang Yi kept thinking about the nickname, and wondered. Maybe the sky wants to change its destiny with the fate of Emperor Feng. Maybe he got some kind of task to make the figure of the Feng emperor have a new nickname, namely the angel emperor Feng?. What is clear now he has to live his new life as emperor Feng.

Especially he has to adapt to a woman who always seems to want to stick with him. Of course it was the concubine who gave her own name as the emperor's favorite concubine.

An Jia Li immediately felt the scene in the novel so that when she saw the figure of Emperor Feng, she trembled, even her sleepiness from not sleeping all night disappeared. Even so, An Jia Li still couldn't shake off the fear that enveloped her because she couldn't make the mistake that Xiang Lian's character did. He had to avoid the beheading scene.

Once in front of Emperor Feng's cold handsome face, An Jia Li instantly froze.

"T-that's demon emperor Feng? What a fitting visualization!" An Jia Li thought, who didn't forget to remain amazed by the face of Emperor Feng which she could only imagine in the novel, but now she actually saw his captivating visuals directly in front of her eyes very closely.

Not to forget An Jia Li also highlighted the figure of a woman beside Emperor Feng. That woman also had undeniably beautiful facial features, even An Jia Li couldn't deny her beauty. Anyone who sees it will be fascinated.

"Is that Emperor Feng's favorite concubine? Really beautiful, but not to his heart!" thought An Jia Li. He was amazed and cursed at the concubine which made him annoyed because the character was never satisfied with her beauty. Whatever the concubine did to be foremost in Long Feng's palace and in Emperor Feng's heart would all eyes be on her.

The fresh, warm, and delicate aroma of tea was so special that it filled the entire main hall of Long Feng palace. The color of the tea is also unique because it is different from the general impression of the color of tea which is brownish or yellowish green. The tea is like clear water in which it is soaked in blue sapphire stone that has just been polished until it sparkles so that it looks like sea water in the sun being poured into a cup.

An Jia Li tried to be as neutral and calm as possible to go through the scene where her heart couldn't stop beating fast. It was a scene where he had to pour tea to the emperor directly because of Emperor Feng's personal request to a servant named Xiang Lian that attracted him.

But in the novel, that scene also does not escape the role of the concubine who stares at Xiang Lian's character so sharply and full of jealousy that it makes Xiang Lian's character become unfocused and ends up spilling tea on the emperor's clothes.

Curious about the scene. An Jia Li actually followed the story line by trying to see a little bit of the concubine's eyes and sure enough. The concubine was actually staring at An Jia Li so intently at this moment as if she wanted to kill him. Quickly, An Jia Li averted her gaze. Of course, because he didn't want to be Xiang Lian and had the same fate as him, he would be punished.

Carefully, An Jia Li began to gracefully pour the tea and handed it over to the emperor with gentle movements, as if she was serving a venerable immortal.

Joy filled An Jia Li's heart. She cheered triumphantly in his heart for having managed to get through the spilled tea scene so well and not even a drop of tea was spilled on Emperor Feng's clothes. But An Jia Li's joy didn't seem to last long once the gong was sounded again, signaling the people to start drinking their tea.

To An Jia Li, the sound of the second gong was a sign that a dangerous alarm had sounded. And the alarm for that dangerous sign was his alarm. As soon as he turned around, An Jia Li fell on her maid outfit which she wasn't used to wearing, and ended up falling when she was about to walk around. Unexpectedly, Emperor Feng quickly caught his body.

Their eyes met again so close. Suddenly a memory entered An Jia Li's head. To be more precise, it was a feeling where he had felt the same way when Emperor Feng's eyes stared at him causing the memory fragment to appear about someone An Jia Li loved – one could say that Xiang Lian's character truly loved.

Unfortunately the memory was still blurry so An Jia Li herself didn't know what memory had just flashed through her head. Was the memory his or belonged to a body that was foreign to him at this time. Only his heart can remember clearly so An Jia Li can only feel a feeling of longing that surrounds him now.

That feeling of longing didn't last long when An Jia Li felt something threatening her. The concubine's sharp glare and screams had made An Jia Li forget everything.

"Presumptuous!"

Simultaneously with that shout, Emperor Feng actually asked An Jia Li's condition so that not only An Jia Li, but his concubines and everyone in the main hall of Long Feng Palace were also shocked. Everyone was now looking at Emperor Feng with Jiang Yi's soul. They wondered with curiosity in their hearts.

"Is this really Emperor Feng?!!!"

Once again fate turned the storyline to the truth of the real story.

Jiang Yi couldn't help but be in his nature to help so he threw away the role of the cold emperor Feng and asked the condition of the fallen servant earlier.

"You are okay?" Jiang Yi asked in a friendly and gentle tone, just like he was asking his patients.

Meanwhile, An Jia Li and the concubine were still shocked and looked confused at the Feng emperor who was not the Feng emperor anymore. There was no anger, but the emperor with the nickname demon emperor Feng was actually being kind without hesitation. Because of this, everyone in the main hall also gave a confused and strange look at their emperor's usually cold and indifferent attitude to the point where everyone was disdainful of him, except for the spoiled concubine. somehow he could endure the emperor's attitude.

Realizing the strangeness, An Jia Li actually felt goosebumps so she immediately prostrated at Jiang Yi's feet and apologized.

"Your Majesty, I was wrong, I beg your pardon!" please An Jia Li.

Seeing An Jia Li do that, Jiang Yi immediately felt uncomfortable. His feelings were turbulent mixed with the memories of the previous Feng emperor's feelings that no one really knew if the previous Feng emperor also felt the same as Jiang Yi's feeling at this time, it was just that he couldn't be honest about his feelings so he remained cold.

Jiang Yi didn't know that being in the position of an emperor wasn't this good of having to maintain his dignity and throw away his true personal feelings.

"Is this Feng emperor actually benevolent?, it's just that he can't express his true feelings because of his status?" Jiang Yi thought. He felt a little suffocated by feeling the memory of Emperor Feng's feelings, where he wanted to do good but it had to be hindered by something called status.

The position of an emperor certainly cannot be underestimated. That position is a high position so that no matter how small his attitude will affect the lives of people throughout his empire that he leads, so he must be careful in his attitude including doing good which may only be judged as a weakness and opening for the enemy.

"Your Majesty, that servant is shameless! He must be punished!" said the concubine whining and clinging to Jiang Yi's arms in annoyance.

The surly concubine was also happy which was hidden because she had finally found a loophole in the maid she hated so much. The concubine was aware of the emperor's attitude in public which did not look. Even though she also knew about the emperor who secretly liked to approach the maid named Xiang Lian, but her attitude in public could not be ignored, of course, so the concubine took this opportunity to keep the servant away from the emperor forever. He couldn't wait for the decision to come out of the emperor's mouth to punish An Jia Li.

"Punishment?. What punishment?" Jiang Yi asked. He was confused but tried to act calm as if he was facing a difficult operation that had little chance of success.

The concubine saw doubt in the emperor, but she had many ways of sweet talk so as not to look evil, "Your Majesty, I know your heart is so full of kindness and compassion, but you can't allow this servant's indiscipline. So why don't you give beheading him?. That's a light punishment. He won't feel the pain of torture because he will die right away" said the concubine gently while coaxing spoiled by playing with her poisonous words. It turns snake venom into sweet taste.

"Decapitate?!" Jiang Yi was shocked. He even turned his head in disbelief at the concubine who suggested that to him.

Not only Jiang Yi, but An Jia Li was also shocked and panicked so he immediately shouted after hearing this.
