Empress
Episode 59's
Xiao Shi enjoyed his morning breakfast with Yanran, Yuan, Feng Yue, Teng She as well as Fu Tong in the dining room of his residence. Yeah, they always eat together, and the other ladies guard the outside.
" How are you doing Shi'er?" Feng Yue asked on her feeding sidelines.
" I'm good"
" You know Shi'er back then we assumed that you were jealous" Yuan said.
" Jealous? Why?" The Beo Xiao Shi.
" You....don't know?" yanran said hesitantly. This was the first time he had not summoned Xiao Shi without the frills of the empress/noble.
Xiao Shi stopped his breakfast activities. " No, why should I be jealous?"
" Your husband asked concubine Yun to accompany him that night" Teng She said as she ate her favorite fruits.
Xiao Shi frowned," Then, what's the problem? Isn't that nice? It seems like His Majesty will soon have a successor"
" Aren't you jealous at all?" Fu Tong.
" No, whoever he sleeps with, that's his business"
Everyone gawked at Xiao shi's words. Fu Tong even choked.
While outside his residence, the news of Xiao shi's jealousy that night had already spread so widely. They assumed that it seemed like the Emperor had always liked Mao and had never turned his back on the Empress.
The news made the emperor happy. Not because the news regarding him and Mao was true, but because he was happy that Xiao Shi finally had jealousy as well.
" What do you think I should do to Eunuch Han? Do I have to pretend I didn't see her when I passed her or what?" Ask Zao enthusiastically.
Eunuch Han was confused, this was the first time that Zao was so expressive.
" What if His Majesty asks Fu Tong? She followed the Empress, I'm sure she might have heard something about the Empress, Her Majesty "Eunuch Han suggested.
" Ah, you're right. All right, Fu Tong!" Zao Exclamation.
Fu Tong appeared in front of the Emperor and Eunuch Han.
" Honor Your Majesty's servant"
" I want to ask you something" Zao said.
" Good Your Majesty, I will answer you honestly "
" good. Now tell me, what did the queen say about that night? " asked Zao, he even raised his eyebrows.
Is this really the Emperor?
Fu Tong even had a chance to look at Eunuch Han to ascertain whether the one in front of him was right now the Emperor or not. It's out of the ordinary.
" Fu Tong,,, why are you quiet" Zao impatiently.
" Ma, forgive Your Majesty's servant"
" It's okay, now say how? Remember, you have to say it honestly"
Silent....
Fu Tong didn't know what to do. Looking at the emperor's enthusiasm it seemed like he was hoping that his empress was really jealous. But, if he lied he already said it would be honest.
" The Empress is not jealous of His Majesty" Fu Tong's remark seemed to have taken away all of Zao's happiness over the past few days.
" What do you mean?"
" The empress was concocting some medicinal herbs earlier, and the servant of taste at the dinner of the new empress recalled the stages of concocting her medicine. As Yuan arrived there, Yanran and Feng Yue were busy taking things from the empress' room into the kitchen"
DUAARRRRRRRRRR
Like being struck by lightning, Zao's happiness just disappeared. So all this time he was just overconfident? While Xiao Shi was not jealous at all?
" Fu Tong, you-" Eunuch Han who was about to reprimand Fu Tong was stopped due to a gesture from Zao.
" No need, Eunuch Han."
" You go"
" Both Your Majesty" Eunuch Han and Fu Tong retreated themselves and returned to their respective places.
As soon as Eunuch Han came out, he got a sneer from Huang Li.
" What's up? What's going on inside?"
" Hushhh,, slow down. Your Majesty is not okay"
" Why is that?"
" Oh, I feel sorry for Your Majesty. Looks like she's really hoping for the Empress "
Huang Li who did not understand the direction of Eunuch Han's conversation only scratched his head. He did not understand at all, why should the emperor wish on the Empress?
Fu Tong, upon his return from the Emperor he was already faced with Feng Yue who was leaning on a tree where he used to lurk.
" You!!" Fu Tong was shocked.
" Good excuse. The empress praised you, and so did Yanran "Feng Yue raise her eyebrows when mentioning Yanran by name.
Fu Tong's cheeks were suddenly red, he was like a boiled crab now.
Feng Yue only laughed as she shook her head to look at Fu Tong's behavior which she thought was very childish.
~•~
Since then Xiao Shi has received various messages from Yuan and Yanran. They said that he should be able to open his heart to the Emperor, because the emperor had started to love him.
" it's not necessarily love, Yuan" Xiao Shi resigned. Actually he no longer wants to serve them both, but what can be done.
" It's Shi'er's love, the Emperor deliberately did it to make you jealous, he hopes you're jealous" Yuan said.
" What Yuan said is true" Yanran said.
" No, we're both empresses and emperors, beyond that me and she's nobody. Or even husband and wife though.this was only a status, and it would still be like that" Xiao Shi recalled his words that night. And he thinks this is what really happened.
" But you saw it, didn't you? His gaze when he saw Fu Tong was very hopeful, then after Fu Tong told the truth, his face looked very disappointed." Yuan defended the Emperor. Which side is this Yuan on? himself or the Emperor?
" That's right, Your Majesty, the Emperor has never had such a face. I'm sorry but I think your argument that night was just the emperor's ego and his high sense of prestige. So that you do the agreement indirectly "What Yanran said may have a point. But Xiao Shi could not believe it.
" Whose side are you on? Me or the Emperor?" Xiao Shi began to feel careless.
" eu, of course, is on your side" Yuan chuckled.
" If you side with the emperor again, go and be his lady-in-waiting, I will look for a new one" Xiao Shi said.
" Alright, alright, I'm sorry" Yuan said as he raised his two fingers to form the letter V.
" I'm sorry, Your Majesty" said Yanran, looking very nervous.
" Don't be too formal Yanran, the three of us are here, so consider me your friend after all I was just kidding earlier, how could I possibly let go of the two of you" Xiao Shi comforted.
there was no way she would get rid of the two of them, other than as a lady-in-waiting, Xiao Shi already considered them like a friend, even a brother. Isn't it impossible to give our dear brother to someone else?
After their training period, they couldn't change masters at all. Xiao Shi's blood was inside their bodies, once they left Xiao Shi, that Xiao Shi's blood would draw all the blood out of their bodies. And they'll be dead in a moment.
Sadistic indeed, but this is the way. How to keep all his secrets safe and not leak to others.
