I'M Chinese Princess
27. Appearance Changing
Family Dining Room
"His Majesty the Empress arrived" the eunuch's shout made everyone turn their heads towards her. Today was the first time Liu Wen had eaten with the Emperor, the Queen Mother and Grand Concubine, some sort of family dinner.
"Greetings to His Majesty the Emperor, regards the Queen Mother" Liu Wen said respectfully, he seemed uninspired not out of jealousy or dislike for the people who were here. He was just lazy to get out of the house.
"stand. I heard you end up sick?"the Queen Mother asked, she knitted her brows like a worried person.
"Mmm, I just catch a cold. Mother need not worry" Liu Wen replied as she closed her eyes she sat beside the Emperor, when she saw the food in front of him she became hungry, as soon as her appetite rose.
"Nyamm... uhmm." muttered Liu Wen, he ate first and his portion was very much.
"Ekhem! It should have been Your Majesty the Emperor who ate, your new Queen Mother as the opening" Consort Chu said explaining the conduct of an Empress while eating if asked how she knew. Of course he learned it because he thought that one day he would become Empress.
"Ohh, is that it?"liu Wen asked with a mouth full of rice, he blinked his eyes many times and stopped chewing food.
"No..no! It's just an old tradition that you can eat as much" the Emperor said with a smile, he picked up the smoked beef and placed it in Liu Wen's bowl.
"okay! I won't hesitate anymore then" Liu Wen briefly replied, he quickly finished the food on the table.
*He finished all his food - Inner Concubine Chu he laughed crisply because he could not see Liu Wen's hand movements while taking food.
*What should I eat?! The glutton did not know this ethics of spending it all - his inner Queen Mother froze looking at the speed of Liu Wen's hands.
*Wow!!!! Sister Empress was very good at finishing all the food in the inner-spells of Consort Xiao she clapped her hands because she was very excited to see Liu Wen lustfully eating all the food on the table.
"Thank you for the food! I am the residence first" Liu Wen said, he stood up and left immediately without saying anything.
"He's human or not? Eat it a lot" said the Queen Mother flatly.
"Maybe the Empress nurtured an evil spirit in her body that's why she ate so much" Concubine Chu smiled faintly.
"Don't spread any strange rumors! I still don't know who spread the news The Empress can't contain!! If it is caught he will be punished severely" said the Emperor with a hideous face.
"Ah.. yes! Got punished!"the Queen Mother said, she looked the other way.
*Mother is so good at pretending, I don't know what to do, punishing my own mother? It was heartless for the Emperor, he was saddened by the report of the Queen Mother who spread the rumor.
Dragon Residence
"Hamba saluted His Majesty the Emperor, may he live a long life" Chen said with a bow, he came into the Emperor's room from the window at night.
"What news is it?"ask the Emperor who was busy checking and writing the Imperial documents report.
"There are 3 news Your Majesty.. One good news and two bad news, you want to hear which one first?"chen asked he got a lot of news today.
"Emm. I'm curious about the good news" replied the Emperor who held his chin for a while.
"The Seventh Prince managed to win the border village and I heard that duke Yun offered hundreds of soldiers to rebel and wanted to make the Seventh Prince the new Emperor but the Prince refused because his life was only for you"chen said, he was also happy when he heard this.
"They're all my sisters, of course, not gonna hurt me! I don't want our brothers to kill each other and they both remember" the proud Emperor smiled at his two younger brothers.
"bad news?"the Emperor asked for bad news about the politics of guessing.
"Concubine Lin yelled all night at the Fourth Prince's residence, which made the Prince sleep less and look lethargic in the morning" Chen replied, he wanted to expel Consort Lin but remembering she was still the Fourth Prince's birth mother made him undo his intentions.
"Hmmm...! This is bad news, but I can't do anything! She is Junxi's mother if I send troops to expel her maybe she will be offended, let Junxi alone take care of her" the Emperor muttered.
"Next" and write.
"Hm.. The queen mother." Chen said disconnected she did not dare to say it.
"uh? Mother mothership? What's up?"Emperor Qin looked at Chen out of curiosity.
"He who spread the fact that the Empress could not contain" Chen said with a full sweat, he was afraid that Emperor Qin was angry.
"I'm guessing he did it, how did he do it?"the Emperor said with a long sigh.
"The Queen Mother and Consort Chu told the maid to spread the truth about the pregnant Empress until she left the palace. Many scorned the Empress and told her to step down from her post but many empathized with her"
"Alright, you stop this rumor at all costs" said the Emperor firmly grasping the brush in his hand.
"Good!"Chen went straight from there.

"I want to go back! That's all I want to say! Don't do anything! I'm not defending the Empress. If you guys get into trouble I will also help so don't make this harder and add to my problems" said the Emperor, he left the dining hall in a fit of rage.
"Suri's mother? Does Your Majesty know that's what we're doing?"concubine Chu asked with a frightened face.
"Let her know she won't even know you want to be Queen? Concubine Xiao is still too young, I will help you if you help me" Consort Chu said.
"Thank you Queen Mother" Consort Chu said bowing her body.
"I heard the justice officer got a lot of rare gold for solving border cases?"ask the Queen Mother kindly.
"Ahh.. yaa it is like that I will send some taels to the Queen Mother" Consort Chu said with a light laugh.
"Alright I'll wait" smiled the Queen Mother, she held Consort Chu's cheek and left from there.
*Finally that rare gold I have-the inner Queen Mother laughed in satisfaction.

"Ehh? Isn't the Empress just having dinner?!"asked Meng, since he was no longer nauseous, his lord often ate.
"I'm hungry again hurry!! 10 Pieces okay!"said Liu Wen holding his stomach, he was indeed very hungry now that dinner last night very little seemed to have to eat again he thought.
"This is Your Majesty" Meng said carrying a tray of peach cakes and longjing tea did not take long for everything to run out.
"Your Majesty is your appetite really big?"said Meng with a light laugh she did not expect to see something like this happen to Liu Wen.
"Yes it looks like that! Ever since I drank the brewed tea my sister-in-law has my appetite back! Even more" Liu Wen said with a mouth full of food.
"When I'm hungry please bring me some grilled beef ribs" Liu Wen said holding her stomach.
"Your Majesty eating too much is not good for your health" Meng said, she began to worry as Liu Wen asked for more food.
"I know, but it still feels hungry quickly get it" Liu Wen said with a slight whine.
"Huhh. alright" said Meng, he rushed into the kitchen and took food for his master.
"Hey!! It's too late why you're taking food all the time" said the kitchen chef scolding Meng.
"Sir is the Queen's servant" said one of the servants whispering the matter with the chef.
"Then what if she's the Queen's servant!He also could not take any food at will" said the chef he put his kitchen knife and approached Meng
"Sorry this meal is not for me but for the Empress" Meng said she rushed away from there for fear that Liu Wen had long been waiting for her.
"Huh? Isn't the Empress just having dinner and grabbing a snack?"ask the chef in surprise.
"It's His Majesty's meal" said Meng, who Liu Wen immediately seized.
"Eumm... very good Meng! You wanna try?"liu Wen asked this time, he ate it gracefully using chopsticks and spoons.
"No, Your Majesty! I am already full" Meng said with a funny smile just seeing Liu Wen who ate a lot of it already almost 2 months his appetite rose until his stomach enlarged.
"Meng...my stomach." said Liu Wen in shock at seeing her slightly distended stomach reflected in the mirror.
"You're fat from eating continuously Your Majesty"ledek Meng laughed lightly.
"I don't want to get fat! This sister-in-law! Giving me a nausea reliever or want to make me fat like sumo anyway" muttered Liu Wen, he was frustrated to see his stomach that bulged profit only stomach only if the whole body swells how it becomes.
"Moment tomorrow I'm going on a diet!"liu Wen said seriously.
"Diets? That's what?"meng asked, he tilted his head.
"I mean I eat a little! The menu is rice and vegetables, okay" Liu Wen said excitedly. Iia will make her stomach back to how it was in 5 days.
"Is the Empress sure?"ask Meng with great emphasis.
"Te.. of course!"liu Wen said with seriousness.
"Oh yes Empress, Prime Minister Liu told you to go home, the Emperor has already agreed to it" Meng said, he almost forgot to tell Liu Wen about being busy taking food from earlier.
"Well! Then then! Let's go tomorrow!! "said Liu Wen with sparkling eyes, he was finally able to go home to his parents for a long time.

"Dad...is it true what people say?"liu Yichen asked his father.
"No way! Wen'er must have kept her reputation well" Liu Whojin said with a laugh.
"But there's also news that Wen'er couldn't contain what she was frustrated with until her mind just ate?"liu Yiren said with a worried tone the fate of his daughter.
"We'll know everything when big brother comes" Liu Yichen said pointing to the horse carriage approaching their residence with a large bodyguard
"Dad.... Yichenn.. I came back" said Liu Wen who ran out of the carriage, seeing Liu Wen's stomach make them flinch and hold back a laugh.
"Prfff..is this really my beautiful and graceful sister" Liu Yichen held back her laughter looking at Liu Wen's enlarged body what else was on her stomach.
"Hey! I heard it" said Liu Wen who was a few steps away from the three of them.
"Wen'er looks like you're very happy in the palace" said Liu Whojin, who saw his son as very fat and serialized.
"Yes of course" Liu Wen said hugging his mother and father.
"Let's go in" Liu Yiren said, holding his son's hand.
"Wait..wait a minute!"liu Yichen said seriously.
"What else?"liu Wen asked lazily.
"You're really my brother, aren't you?"liu Yichen asked with a serious attitude.
"Yi-chen Liu!!"there were three strokes in Liu Wen's hands that were clenched in anger.
"Hahahaha" they all laughed except for Liu Wen who was the laughingstock.
