A Lasted Love, Last Falling In Love
Eps: 4 Arrival of Consort Li

"So shenyou, are you willing not to take part in the ghost festival ceremony? "Chap the emperor expectantly.

"Regarding this, Your Majesty the emperor.I do not intend to reject you. However, ever since I woke up, I did not remember anything. let alone about the ghost festival ceremony.I was afraid that I would humiliate you, and the residence of the prime minister if I took part in the ceremony. Moreover, bad rumors about me wanting to end my life have been widespread. I was afraid that this would cause opposition to the nobility and ministers... "

"As for the matter of this ceremonial tradition, I will have the royal manners who will teach you. As for the matter of the nobility and ministers, I will immediately give an edict to them. So you don't have to be afraid because I'm the one who's gonna be watching all that.

Now I guess you have no reason to refuse my request.Shenyou (*smile).

alright shenyou just continue your rest.don't think too much, I will immediately return to the palace to tell the queen mother that you are ready.So, please prepare yourself well, take care of your health and eat well." said the emperor as he walked and left.

"But, your highness my emperor... "

In that instant he disappeared from before me. And now what???

What I have to do, I really can't avoid this. inevitably, I have to do just that.

this, it really sucks.why is nothing good happening to me. Only a moment did I understand all this, and a new problem arose. Oh, gods! is this what you call justice?

3 Days later...

At first I was afraid that the nobles and ministers would make things difficult for me, at which time the ghost festival ceremony would begin. I can't believe that even the ladies from the noble families came to help me prepare the altar and make lanterns. huh, I really understand now how the influence of an emperor.

[Sui pavilion hall ]

After a long time, finally all the traditions in the ceremony of the ghost festival is almost finished.Live, one more tradition that must be done.that is, decorate the lantern and wash it on the bottom of the sui river. since I am now the emperor's companion, inevitably I have to decorate my own lanterns.write the emperor's name and decorate it as best I can.

While being cool to decorate suddenly...

Wh-what? Honorary concubine Li? Come on I just finished acting and now comes a new problem.just now it's been almost 3 hours I have to smile and behave like a princess, walking together beside the emperor to the altar(*ceremony venue). It's like walking between a precipitous abyss, when you're not careful, you fall.

Not to mention, all sorts of eyes from all sides were on me. That made me feel.

And now.come on now what else!

"Greetings to concubine Li, what made you come here? "

"Shenyou, no need to be too formal. Anyway, I'm here to see your situation.The news about you who want to end life, has been widespread in the palace, especially in the harem(*where the concubines live). I just heard the news from a eunuch not long ago, I was really very surprised and happy to see you present at the ghost festival ceremony today. at first I thought it was concubine Rou who would accompany the emperor to perform the ceremony of the ghost festival.I was very surprised when His Majesty the emperor opened the hood turned out to be you, shenyou. I'm glad you're okay, because that means the news is out there, isn't it?"

From what concubine Li was talking about, I felt like she was the only person who worried about the original owner of this body. From her tone, it seemed like they looked familiar. or maybe you could say like a brother and sister. hmmm.if they are that close.wait a minute, does not this mean I really have to be careful.if they are that familiar, if they are, didn't that mean that concubine Li knew very well the original owner of this body?

Now how is this! what am I supposed to do?!

"Concubine Li I... Uh, I mean noble concubine of honor Li. Ever since I fell into the pool, and hit a rock. I don't remember anything. Including about you, your highness the emperor, and my own father the prime minister. I'm afraid you're disappointed but, I really can't remember anything about you... "

"It's no wonder you don't know the rules of the palace,"

"Pe...palace regulations??? "

I was really confused by what he said.

"Shenyou, did you know that the ghost festival ceremony should only be performed by the emperor and empress? however, since the emperor's majesty did not have a consort, it did not mean that concubines were entitled... Did it?

did you forget all that? but, it is different if this is by the will of the queen mother. Because he's the real owner of the harem.

Five years have passed, but until now the emperor has still not chosen an empress. Now, with you and his highness the emperor presiding over the ghost festival ceremony, I fear that the concubines in the harem will target you as an impingement. I'm really just worried about you shenyou." exclaimed concubine Li, furrowing an eyebrow.
