Rebirth of the Empress

Chapter 5

Your Majesty! I turned around in surprise, only to see a young man dressed in a golden yellow robe looking at me fixedly, his handsome face vaguely permeated with a hint of introverted majesty, the several eunuchs accompanying him rushed to salute me, “Nuns have met the Empress!”

I came back to my senses and lowered my body at the young man, “Your servant has met the emperor!”

A trace of disappointment darted across the Emperor's dark and calm eyes, passing in an instant. He didn't look at me again and lightly dropped a sentence, “Get up!” Then with a group of eunuchs, he disappeared into the winding palace corridors.

Such a small episode wiped out my mood for trekking, and I somewhat sulkily called out at Dong'er, “Let's go back!”

Along the way, I held an inexplicable fire, this emperor is also too indifferent to people, at the expense of I also danced such a beautiful section of the dance for him to appreciate, and also too inconsiderate, his married wife empress is sick for so long even did not have a word of greeting.

When he returned to his palace court, he was surprised to find a stunningly beautiful woman sitting on the main seat, his plump blooming orchid fingers picking the grapes on the table and carefully sending them into his cherry mouth, and from time to time he also gently wiped the corners of his mouth with a silk scarf.

“Slave servant has met Princess Rong!” Dong'er saluted at the bewitching woman, her expression surprisingly more flustered than when she saw the Emperor.

It turned out to be Consort Rong, who had turned against the guest, I laughed coldly in my heart and didn't say a word.

Consort Rong did not get up even when she saw me come in, and laughed repeatedly, “Sister's body is better, my sister is really happy!”

I laughed coldly: “Sister still thought sister is not happy, sister is now sitting in this seat but sister's, sister would like to ask sister you are not very want to replace sister to sit on ah!”

Princess Rong froze for a long time and seemed to be unable to expect me to reply in this way, her smile stiffened as she moved her water snake-like soft waist to the seat next to her, her eyes suspiciously looking me up and down.

I did not sit on it, but instructed the small bamboo next to me, “Small bamboo, clean the chair, the place where the mourning family sits does not like others to touch!”

“What do you mean?” Consort Rong's delicate voice seemed to tear apart as she asked incredulously.

I sat up gracefully and calmly said, “Sister just wants everyone to know that the position of the Empress is the position that sister sits in, and the consort is naturally supposed to sit in the place where she is supposed to sit and also perform the rituals that she is supposed to perform, the rules of this palace cannot be messed up, sister, do you think so?”

Rong Fei was my words shocked speech, a room so quiet that you can hear the sound of a pin drop.

I quietly sipped my tea, the two years of tattoo training at the mall was still really useful.

A moment, Rongfei recovered from the shock, piled up a face of petite smile and said, “Sister, you are sick and confused it, even warned my sister, tell you,” suddenly Rongfei face changed, fierce tone, “with you, do not deserve!”

“Not worthy!” I fiercely slammed the teacup in my hand to the ground, my tone cold, “Don't forget, I am the Empress, the Empress personally appointed by the late Emperor, as long as I am the Empress, I have the power to manage the harem!”

Broken teacups mixed with tea, full of mess, I suddenly some heartache that teacups, if left, maybe many years later by the archaeological family to dig out is the value of antiques.

“You ......” Rong Fei face green a piece of white a piece, huffed and whisked his sleeve away.

After Consort Rong left with a group of slave girls, there was even a delicate woman standing in the room, I stared at her suspiciously.

“Jin'er, where have you been running off to these days, the empress is waiting for you to serve her!” Little Bamboo chided the woman in exasperation while serving me tea.

Jin'er was shocked when she looked at me who was leisurely drinking tea, and panicked as she knelt down and said, “The slave servant never knew that the empress had woken up.” Although her tone was low, her face was devoid of any semblance of humility.

I sipped my tea, smiled faintly, and said nothing.

When Jin'er saw that I didn't have any reaction, she stood up and prepared to walk outside.

“Jin'er, who told you to get up?” I said coldly.

Jin'er looked at me quizzically and I stared at her expressionlessly as she got back on her knees, but her eyes stared at me without fear or even with disdain.

I did not look towards her, but said to the small bamboo at the side, “Small bamboo, in the future, you prepare a pair of scissors and gouge out the eyes of those slave maids who stare at me unsuspectingly, lest I see it and feel uncomfortable in my heart.”

“Chirp!” Little Bamboo humbly answered.

Jin'er on the ground turned pale and lowered her head in a panic.

I sneered, “Jin'er, tonight you will kneel outside for two hours for me, Little Bamboo, you keep an eye on it.”

“Chirp!”

“Your Highness, you can't punish the slave girl like this, the slave girl didn't do anything wrong!” Jin'er anxiously stood up, excitedly yelling.

I stared at her, chillingly said, “I am sick in bed, you as a slave servant not only did not wait on the side of the waiter but instead ran around, with this I can punish you, or do you say that I don't even have the right to punish you for being such a slave servant!” I turned to Little Bamboo and said, “Punish her for one more hour, how dare you contradict me!”

“Chatter! Go out with us!” Little Bamboo excitedly dragged Jin'er out, it seems that this Jin'er must not have bullied Little Bamboo and the others.

Be dragged out of the Jin Er back to resentfully glared at me, I suddenly regretted, just now how suddenly soft heart did not punish her kneeling for a day, but the day will be long, this girl again arrogant I definitely want to give her more color to see.

The room has regained a silence again, Dong'er quietly and quietly surveyed me.

I couldn't help but laugh out, standing up and knocking on Dong'er's head, “Have you seen enough?”

Dong'er panicked and lowered her head, whispering, “Your Highness, Dong'er has never seen you as powerful as you are now, you used to be ......,” her voice getting lower and lower, choking on her sobs.

“Speak slowly!” I gently brushed her back, from Dong'er's mournful expression it is not difficult to imagine what kind of days both their master and servant used to live.

Dong'er said in a trembling voice: “Dong'er used to see you cry secretly when you were in the master's house, and after entering the palace your tears never broke, if you can Dong'er is really willing to take the place of you to suffer all the grievances ......”

“Niangniang, you really look like a different person,” Xiaozhuzi who didn't know when she came in whispered, ”In the past, you were scared every time you saw Concubine Rong, and sometimes when Concubine Rong's voice was raised, your eyes turned red.”

I asked on with interest, “Then when I saw the Emperor or the Empress Dowager, how was it all like?” Seeing their embarrassed faces, I encouraged them, “Speak out and I won't blame you!”

“Whenever you see the emperor or the empress dowager, you stutter,” Little Bamboo secretly observes my face, and seeing that I am still very relaxed, she continues, ”There are even times when you are so nervous that you have hiccups, that's why every time you see the empress dowager or the emperor you have to take a detour! ”

“Haha!” I couldn't restrain myself from laughing, an empress who should be the mother of the world was hiding nervously like a little rabbit, it was really unspeakably funny, I laughed than sympathized and said, “She's really pitiful!” Seeing Xiaozhuzi and Dong'er's puzzled eyes, I hurriedly said, “I am feeling sorry for my former self!”

“Your Highness, you will remember the past!” Dong'er softly comforts, and then continues, “However, the current you is quite good.”

I smile indifferently, this kind of me is indeed quite good, always living so strongly in this world, not believing in tears, only believing in myself. There was also a period of time when I foolishly thought that God would help me, and every day when I was bullied, I would hide under the quilt and cry secretly, but slowly I realized that tears can never bring myself out of trouble, but only believe in myself, and only my own hard work can bring myself out of trouble, and it is this kind of conviction that allowed me to stand out among Grandpa's many inner and outer children and grandchildren and to become Grandpa's successor.
