Chapter 175: My Dear Majesty, Please Let Go (5)
Translator: Guy Gone Bad
By the end of the imperial morning meeting, Baili Jue returned to the Royal Study Room and was about to review the reports from officials, but felt that his neck was a bit tight. He couldn"t help dragging his collar and he inevitably touched the scratches.
Squinting, Baili Jue couldn"t help but think the cold little wild cat last night and suddenly came up an idea.
"Go and get Lou Feng here." Baili Jue commanded someone outside.
"Yes." Someone outside took the order.
Before Baili Jue finished two reports, Lou Feng arrived.
Baili Jue put away the report he was reading, leaned back, said lazily and casually, "have you found out who the woman I ordered you to check yesterday is?"
"Your Majesty, I have. I have sorted it out for your review." Lou Feng respectfully took out a profile from his arms, put it in both hands, and laid it on the table.
Lou Feng had prepared it very well since he already knew the pattern of the emperor.
Baili Jue leaned over to take it, but with just one glance, he raised his eyebrows in surprise and said, "She is the daughter of Xia Yuanzheng?"
"Yes, Your Majesty," Lou Feng said.
Last night, when he followed her back to Minister"s mansion which was also Xia"s mansion, he was very surprised, and when she was identified, he found more surprises.
Baili Jue proceeded and when he read her name, the corner of his mouth pulled upward a bit and said, "Well, Xia Liang, rendering Summer Cold in Chinese. It"s quite like her temperament. But, Liang? How does it p.r.o.nounce like a t.i.tle of a queen! Xia Yuanzheng, that old man. He is so desperate to marry his daughter to me. He couldn"t be more obvious... "
Lou Feng"s mouth twitched, kneeling on the ground and listening to his Majesty talking to himself. He thought, she had a cousin as her childhood sweetheart and she would marry him in any time. How could she want to marry you?
Your Majesty, you are really overthinking!
Next, there were some major events in Xia Liang"s life and major relations.h.i.+ps with her.
For example, when she was born? How was her temperament? Who was her nanny? Who was her maid? At what age did she start to run? When did she changed her teeth? When did she have her period? And of course her childhood sweetheart cousin was on the list.
When Baili Jue read the information about her cousin, he frowned unhappily but he didn"t know why he was not happy.
It felt like someone stole something he liked.
Baili Jue closed the profile and tossed it away and asked, “her martial art is good. Why doesn"t it say anything about her Kungfu? And it says that she is timid and coward, also a follower of rules? Where do you get it? Why did I see a cold wild cat with sharp claws?”
"We got the information from the maids in her house. There should be nothing wrong with it. But, it is said that she had a much colder temper after suffering a serious illness two months ago." Lou Feng quickly answered, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for having no information of her Kungfu."
"Then why was she on the Fairy Ferry yesterday?" Baili Jue frowned, tapping his finger on the table, and asked coldly.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me! About this ... I haven"t found out why. Please give me one more day." Lou Feng asked.
"Fine." Baili Jue said, giving it a thought, and then continued, "Send someone to observe Minister"s mansion and write down everything she does and every word she says. No omissions are allowed."
"Yes." Lou Feng promised.
