Chereads / THE CAT EYED QUEEN (Secret of the past) / Chapter 7 - MAKING HER SMILE

Chapter 7 - MAKING HER SMILE

Frozen Palace

Anya sat down and then she stood up impatiently.

"What's Arya doing? Why isn't she back yet?" Anya asked no one in particular.

She looked at Irya who was already sleeping on the bed and sighed.

Just then Arya appeared before her and Anya heaved a sigh of relief.

"Where were you?"

"I was practising why?" Arya shrugged and sat on the bed.

"Are you really angry about what I said?" Anya asked Arya who rolled her eyes.

"I'm not angry at all, mum.." She smiled and scoffed inwardly.

"By the time I'm gone, you will regret what you said to me.." Anya clenched her fists angrily.

Few hours later.

Arya stood up from the bed and looked at her sleeping mother and sister and then she smirked.

"I'm sorry I did this mum. But I don't think I can continue being stuck to the dungeon. I'm going to the human world. To see the crown prince and then make him fall in love with him.

"By the time I'm back, I will be back as your future queen.." She said and then vanished away.

She appeared in a dark place and there it was, the cortex was there shining and the hole had started becoming slimmer. It had started closing up.

"Goodbye, Frozen City.." Arya smiled and then she vanished into the cortex.

Next day.

Imperial Palace.

QUEEN'S CHAMBERS

Huifei was operating on her laptop when a knock was heard on the door. She knew who it was immediately.

"Come in.."

The door opened and Nana walked in with a tray of her food.

"Good morning Huifei.." She greeted and Huifei nodded.

"Are you sure you rested well? Nana asked and Huifei sighed.

"Nana, you know I hate people being concerned for me. I'm perfectly fine.." Huifei said and then closed her laptop. Then she stood up and walked up to the mirror.

She took a brush and brushed her hair downstairs. Then she took an ointment and applied it to her face.

"When are you going to show your face to world? You are the queen. Every citizen wants to see the face of their ruler."

Huifei then took the pancake and started applying it on her face.

"Nana, I don't need to show them my face as far as I'm performing my queenly duties.."

"You are so cold now but you won't be like thus when you fall in love.." Nana smiled and Huifei turned back and faced her.

"That will never happen Nana, I can't fall in love. No one can unlock this cold heart of mine.."

She was about to talk when her phone rang. It was Lingyun. She answered it immediately.

"Your highness.."

"Zhang Feng is here.."

Huifei didn't wait a minute before she hung up.

She stood up and walked to her wardrobe and then she brought out a black veil and then she wore it firmly.

"I'll be back,Nana.."

"What about your breakfast?"

"I'll have that later.

**

Zhang Feng sat down going through his phone but his mind was on what his Grandpa said.

"I'm not sure she's supernatural. That I can't say but then you have to fulfil your duty as a guardian, make sure her life lightens, make her fall in love.."

Zhang Feng sighed.

"It's hard enough for me. I had to even lie to her. Now I have make sure she falls in love. Is that the only way to lighten her life and melt that cold heart of hers.."

"Zhang Feng.." He heard her call behind him and He sighed.

Then he turned back and bowed slightly to her.

"Good morning your highness, hope you slept well.."

"You shouldn't bother yourself with that.." Huifei replied him and Feng scoffed.

"Your highness, you should always answer a question when you are asked politely..."

"Are you correcting me now?" Huifei scoffed with widened eyes though he couldn't see her.

"Yes, all humans are prone to mistakes and can be corrected. And I'm sorry you are also not an exception, your highness.." Zhang Femg smiled and Huifei rolled her eyes.

"Stop smiling at me!" She snapped at him and then walked off.

"Follow me.." She said out loud and Zhang Femg smiled and then followed her.

They strolled off in silence until they got to the garden.

"Your highness.." Zhang Feng called and Huifei sighed.

"I want to ask something and I hope you don't mind?"

Huifei said nothing and stopped walking and Feng took that as a cue to ask her the question.

"When last have you smiled genuinely?" Huifei's heart skipped immediately she heard that question. She turned to him immediately.

"Are we that close to ask that question?"

"I.."

"And I told you to stop speaking to me freely. I can have guards torture you right here.." Huifei threatened him but then he chuckled and Huifei glared at him.

"That would be against my right. I highly doubt that your highness go against the rule of law. Let's talk about business now. You said you want strong steel right?' Zhang Feng said and Huifei scoffed again.

Zhang Feng walked in front of her and unknowingly to him, a big stone was lying carelessly on the floor.

"Our company will give you strong steel, that's for a fact.." Zhang Feng turned to her.

"I don't words. I need actions. I don't want anymore accidents of my people.."

"Your highness is indeed a good rul." Zhang Feng couldn't complete the statement when his right leg hit the stone and immediately he lost his balance and fell flat on the ground.

Huifei chuckled slightly upon seeing the scene. She tried not laughing out loud.

"Aaah!" Zhang Feng groaned and sat up. His hair was already sandy.

"Will you get up?" Her voice came out strict.

Zhang Feng groaned again and touched his butts.

"Aaah! I thinks my butts are broken. I can't walk.." Zhang feng whined like a baby and Huifei couldn't hold it any longer. She bursted out laughing.

Zhang Feng's widened immediately and he smiled.

It worked! It actually worked! He succeeded in making the queen smile.
