Empress
Episode 55 - Mao's Victory (?)

Mao beautifies herself, applying very thick makeup. Dinner this time she felt she had to look the most beautiful of all.

It had been three days, Xiao Shi and Zao were still not greeting each other. This was the right opportunity for him to step into the Emperor's lap.

" You will be mine Your Majesty, only mine" Mao felt confident that this time he would not encounter any obstacles.

Confidently, and with a sagging body he walked towards his seat.

Zao and Xiao Shi were indeed still sitting side by side, there was nothing awkward when seen as far as possible. However, if you look closely it will be seen that there is a high and thick wall between the two of them.

" Your Majesty, are you okay?" Mao tried to draw everyone's attention to her, including Zao.

"Hmm, I'm good" Zao replied nonchalantly, he didn't even look at Mao at all.

That short answer did not make Mao give up, he still tried to get Zao's attention.

" My father came back from the neighboring Kingdom, and he brought some herbal teas that will make your body healthier Your Majesty. I've prepared it for you"

Two ladies-in-waiting approached Zao's chair, put down a glass and let Mao pour his tea.

" This is Your Majesty"

" Thank you" Zao drank Mao's tea expressionlessly.

While Mao smiled to himself as he felt that Zao would start accepting him.

" Hm, the tea is delicious. Give it to mom too"

Mao asked her lady-in-waiting to take another glass for the Queen Mother, and Mao also poured her. In order to obtain the Emperor, shouldn't there be support from the Queen Mother as well?

" Give me also the empress, Grand Concubine" the Queen Mother tried to attract the attention of Xiao Shi who had just been eating her food.

" Ah, no need mom. The tea was given by Grand Concubine to Her Majesty and also to Mother. Drink up, I'm fine" Xiao Shi did not want to drink his tea. Smelling from the aroma, this tea was very unpleasant for him. Rather than him spewing his tea it is better not to drink it at all.

Mao smiled in satisfaction, as she did not need to pour her tea for Xiao Shi. But Zao? he looked at Xiao Shi with an indecipherable look.

The Queen Mother tried to drink the tea made by Mao, she began to taste it and according to her this was not too bad than the attitude of the person who poured her.

" Tell your father that the tea is delicious" the Queen Mother said.

" Okay, thank You, Your Majesty, the Queen Mother. It's an honor for us"

Zao still did not take his eyes off Xiao Shi. There was an idea that flashed through his head, whether this was good or not, he would do it to know something.

" Great concubine, I want her tea again" she asked.

" Good Your Majesty" since Mao was already sitting in his chair, he asked his lady-in-waiting for help to pour his tea again.

But just as her ladyboy was about to approach Zao and pour it, Zao raised his hand to let the lady back down.

" I want you to pour it, Mao"

Maoist. After a long time, Mao finally heard the call from the Emperor again. His face was flushed, he was feeling very happy now.

Mao even got envious gazes from his other concubines. In fact they started to think what they should bring in tomorrow's dinner in order to get close to the Emperor.

There aren't. There was no expression or response from Xiao Shi. Damnit damnit! What else must he do to attract the attention of his wife.

The cling!

It seemed like a lamp had already appeared in his head. He got an idea that he thought could catch Xiao shi's attention. But this doesn't seem like such a good idea, but it is. Zao will do it.

" Mao"

" yes. Your Honor?"

" Take care of me tonight" Zao said.

Mao's entire body trembled hearing her. It was unexpected that he would get the Emperor this fast. God, like it is time.

" Of course Your Majesty. It is my duty to serve you"

Everyone was shocked, even the Queen Mother. He was about to speak up to stop Zao from spending the night with Mao. But Xiao Shi preceded her.

" I'm sorry, Your Majesty, Queen Mother. My dinner is over, I want to return to my room immediately" Xiao Shi paid his last respects before he left.

" Are you okay, empress saha?" Zao asked, he felt very happy to see Xiao shi's response like this.

" I am good Your Majesty. Thanks for your attention, excuse me"

After Xiao shi's departure, Suri's mother did not want to talk about anything either. He also left the room.

Mao could not hold back his happiness. From that moment on, he continued to smile happily. To be honest he had not expected to get the Emperor tonight either. Really, it seems like the Gods are very kind to her tonight.

Mao even began to imagine how the Emperor's body was built. His muscles, his skin, and how ferocious the Emperor was on the bed made his face meet more.

Of course it did not escape the sight of his other concubines. Some were envious, and some were underestimating.

' I'm sure the Emperor won't wear it for long, he's just being a runaway'

' Mao is overconfident'

' I'm sure he'll use a sneaky way when he's with the Emperor later '

' He's really sneaky'

Approximately like that muttered muttering from his other concubines who of course could be heard by Mao. But he doesn't care. The most important thing to him now was the Emperor, and he had already obtained the Emperor now. His plan of shifting Xiao Shi's position seemed to be coming soon as well, and his wish of sitting on the throne with the Emperor and wearing the Empress's clothes would also be realized.

While Zao? He smiled very happy as well from now on, not because he was going to be with Mao. But he's happy that the plan worked, isn't it good?

'He was jealous apparently' Zao thought.

His heart was indeed delighted, the departure of Xiao Shi earlier was considered a form of his jealousy. How not? Xiao Shi left shortly after Zao asked Mao to accompany him tonight.

What an amazing feeling. His heart was flowery, it seemed like Xiao Shi had already started to have feelings for him. That's really good news that we're receiving right now.

Seeing the Emperor who looked very happy also made the other concubines confused. What happened to the Emperor. Did Your Majesty really want Mao all this time?

Zao and Mao were lulled into his own thoughts. Although the same in happy circumstances and feelings, but their happiness is compared very far.

' You will be knocked out Xiao Shi' Mao's determination in his heart.
