Empress
Episode 60's
After a day of contemplation, Zao finally got a decision.
" Eunuch Han!" Exclaims.
" Here is Your Majesty"
" Prepare me some special food for dinner, and prepare my best clothes, also prepare the back garden for later tonight. I want a beautiful decoration." Zao said.
" Will there be a guest tonight, Your Majesty?" Eunuch Han was puzzled by the orders he received at this moment.
" No, just do my eunuch's orders"
" Good Your Majesty"
Eunuch Han immediately came out and told the maids to prepare what the Emperor had ordered.
Why all of a sudden? Who's actually coming?
The night had come, the stars were scattering beautifully in the sky. Zao was also ready with his best clothes. But everyone is still wondering. Who's coming?
The garden at the back of the Emperor's residence was beautifully laid out. Zao was satisfied with the performance of his subordinates.
" call the empress" Zao said.
From there Eunuch Han and Huang Li roared, it turned out that this was all for the empress. Like the emperor was really in love with the empress, it was just that she was too prestigious.
Eunuch Han immediately headed for the empress' residence, only this time did Han feel like he was delivering a message of love between lovers.
" Tell my arrival to the Empress"
Seeing the arrival of Eunuch Han like his there was a new edict from the emperor to the empress. Not his telling the eunuch's arrival, Yuan actually approached his steps.
" What's up?"
" The emperor called the empress to his residence" this Eunuch Han said made the whole lady misunderstand. They thought that the Emperor asked the empress to accompany him to his sleep tonight.
Most of the maids were delighted that their master had finally been glimpsed by the emperor, but that was inversely proportional to the three people closest to Xiao Shi.
Realizing the situation, Eunuch Han immediately corrected his words. "The emperor invited the empress to have dinner together in the garden behind his residence"
Now the reaction was reversed, the ladies who had been happy felt a little disappointed, while the three people felt a little relieved.
" I'm sorry, but I don't think the empress can fulfill the eunuch emperor's wishes" Yuan said, bowing her head for a moment.
Eunuch Han frowned, "Why is that so? This is the emperor's order"
" This day the empress arranged her own residence, she did not even have time to eat dinner because she fell asleep immediately due to fatigue. We hope His Majesty the Emperor can pronounce him"
Yes indeed that was the case, Xiao Shi was dissatisfied with the look of his residence. Eventually he decided to renovate the look of his own residence. Previously he had tried to fix it using magic, it turned out that the results were less than satisfactory. That's why he chose to do it himself. He did not ask for help from the ladies because he had difficulty explaining the look in his shadow, as a result the ladies only helped a little.
Eunuch Han saw for himself a different look from the empress' residence, his current state was indeed much more beautiful than before, this was the first time he had seen such a display on this land. But what about the preparations already prepared by the emperor?
" I understand Yuan, but how am I going to explain it to the Emperor if the empress cannot come? He's been making his preparations since morning" he complained.
Yuan frowned, what was this Eunuch Han saying?
" What do you mean, brother?" Ask Yanran.
Eunuch Han let out a sigh of resignation, he told her what the emperor had prepared all day.
" WHATAA?! Why didn't you tell the empress in the first place?" Spontaneous Yuan.
" Turn down your Yuan voice. The empress could wake up later" rebuked Feng Yue.
What Eunuch Han said was indeed acceptable, no one could guess with the state of the Emperor having many women. But, what now? Waking up their empress was heartless. However, not fulfilling the emperor's orders was also guilty. This really does put them in a dilemma.
" Let's go to the Emperor and tell him the truth "proposed Yanran.
" Come on" said Yuan.
" No, I'll go there. Your Majesty will understand better if I say it, since I am part of the empire long ago, while you are new."
What Yanran said also had a point. That haughty emperor was indeed very difficult to comprehend.
Although Eunuch Han wanted to refuse, but there was nothing that could be done. Awakening the empress was a wrong deed, but the emperor's orders were an obligation. This dilemma makes him confused, if you have to be punished then it is okay. This is not the first time he has been punished.
Arriving behind the Emperor's residence, Yanran and Eunuch Han glanced at each other. After that, Yanran realized what was in front of him, a very beautiful scenery, food that lined up neatly and beautifully with all the decorations. The emperor really made it very beautiful just to have dinner with the empress. Yanran now understood Eunuch Han's feelings. Because after seeing this, Yanran did not know what to say to the Emperor.
Seeing the arrival of Eunuch Han without an empress and only Yanran made him wonder. " Where's the Empress? I'm asking you to call the eunuch empress, not Yanran".
Yanran advanced his steps and paid homage to the emperor. " Your Majesty, with all due respect I apologize for the empress not being able to attend your invitation tonight"
The look on the face of happiness disappeared instantly from Zao. Eunuch Han and Huang Li were also all the ladies who were there gulping their own tongues, it seemed like they had to prepare for a huge storm this time.
" Why did he refuse?" ask zao flat.
" Your Majesty's permission, today the empress changed a few things in her residence since morning. Even as soon as she finished and cleaned herself up, the empress did not have time to eat anything and just fell asleep."
Disappointed faces now changed worried, how could the maids let him not eat at all.
" Why is it so late? What is the duty of the ladies if the empress still does everything herself?"
" Please forgive Your Majesty, but the empress herself wants to do so. We just helped bring some of his stuff "
" Yes, come back. But remember, I don't want this to happen again, whatever your empress has to do to help her, this is my command "
" Good Your Majesty"
Yanran immediately returned to the empress' residence. Namaun Zao and the others had still not moved from there. Zao looked around at his surroundings, the decorations, the food, everything he had prepared was in vain. Although he wanted to be angry but if he forced his exhausted empress to come here it looks very cruel.
" Your Majesty...."
" It's my fault, I should have ascertained the circumstances first "
" Maybe next time, we'll have to confirm it first to Fu Tong, Your Majesty"
" You're right eunuch, why didn't I think of him at all in the first place. Ah never mind, you just eat the food, share it with others. I'll sleep "he said and then go to his room.
The emperor's single ladies were perplexed, what should they do now? Eat this delicious food? Whether there will be punishment afterwards or perhaps other bad things for having dared to eat the royal family's dishes.
" Feed, this is the emperor's order, come" Eunuch Han and Huang Li sat down and ate first, after which followed by the other ladies.
This was the first time they had eaten a whole royal dish, what a blessing. Even though they were sad for the emperor, what could they do? Tonight is not the fate of either of them.
