My Cruel Little Empress
Chapter 10

The dark sky slowly began to dissipate, the streaks of sunlight on the eastern hill of Zhang's kingdom grew brighter as the sun slowly rose. The cold that is felt slowly fades in place of the warm feeling. I stared at the sunrise from Shan's pavilions, although covered in many buildings, I enjoyed the beautiful process of the orbit of the sun.

"Ah, I should have gone to the crown prince Liang's residence to enjoy this sight" I regretted

Since the residence of the crown prince Liang is in the eastern palace, this will make the view of the rising sun will be more beautiful. Unfortunately this morning he will rush out of the palace with the father of the emperor Wei without anyone's knowledge. Therefore I suppressed my desire to witness the beautiful scene at the residence of the crown prince Liang.

"Little princess, let's go" a middle-aged man walked up to me, his arrival slightly surprised me.

I watched for a long time until I realized that the middle-aged man before me was the Wei emperor. The appearance is very different if the emperor's father only wears ordinary hanfu that is often used by nobles, whether it is just my feelings, the emperor's father's performance looks younger and appears more free and free. Although what the Father was wearing did not mask the aura of his elegance and leadership, but the disguise that the Emperor's father did was perfect enough that the eunuchs and ladies who passed by around them did not notice it.

"Did Ayahanda look so handsome that her own daughter was amazed?" asked emperor Wei to jolt me from the daydream

I blinked for a while before shaking my head in approval to the emperor's father's words, I was pensive not because I was amazed, but he was only surprised by the change in his father's appearance that made him barely able to know him.

"I'm not impressed, it's just that I'm too surprised by your appearance" I replied honestly

"Ahh, I'm disappointed. I think the little princess of Zhang's kingdom was surprised by her father's good looks" the emperor Wei pura said.

I just teekkehe then took the hand of the Emperor Wei's father and said "Word empress mother, Ayahanda is only the only handsome man in Zhang's kingdom" I said trying to comfort the emperor Wei.

"Is it only in your mother's eyes? what about our little princess?" asked Emperor Wei slightly sulking.

"Gege Liang is more handsome than Ayahanda, Ayahanda is old anyway" I replied, who immediately got a light pinch on my tiny nose

"You don't know, Father was also young and handsome at your age" the Wei emperor said

"Ayahanda, don't start. The story of the young Ayahanda I have memorized outside the head so never bored mother empress tells how her struggle to get love Ayahanda when her love competitors there are so many young misses" I said "If Ayahanda also told her, when are we going? Is it waiting until noon? or until someone realizes our plan?" tanyaku managed to resuscitate the Wei emperor.

"Too cool to play with his daughter, this old man forgot to plan out of the palace without anyone's knowledge" murmured emperor Wei "Let's leave before anyone realizes our absence in the palace" added the Wei emperor who I immediately nodded.

This morning the capital of the Zhang kingdom seemed to be crowded with all the activities of the residents who were now passing by in front of me. I am currently with the Emperor's Father monitoring the activities of the residents of the Zhang kingdom, in addition to looking for Bo Qing in the crowd, Emperor Wei's father used our exit to monitor and observe the activities of the residents.

"Ayahanda forgot the last time he left the palace as an ordinary person, not as an emperor of Zhang's kingdom. It may have been a very long time, Ayahanda did not enjoy such memories, "the pause of the Wei emperor "formerly Ayahanda always went out of the palace to monitor the work of ministers in the government and judiciary. The father did so to compare the reports of ministers and officials with their performance through the activities of the residents of the Zhang kingdom" he added.

"Nothing yet, but perhaps for a moment Ayahanda will get something-" Emperor Wei's sentence was cut off as the middle-aged man now squinted his eyes at something behind me, curious about what Father saw, I looked back and found a group of commoners who seemed to be protesting in front of the governor's office of the capital Zhang "just said Ayahanda would get something, now that Father has got it in sight" I said to turn my gaze back to the front and look at the Wei emperor who was now starting to move from his seat.

Emperor Wei placed a bunch of coins on the table, then walked over to the crowd protesting in front of the governor's hall of the capital Zhang. Seeing the Father who was now walking closer, I began to get up from my seat and followed the Father who seemed to smell the fraud and injustice perpetrated by the officials of the capital's governor hall.

"Give us our rights!"

"We have worked so hard to build a dock on the south coast for the smooth process of transporting goods or the transaction process of cooperation with neighboring kingdoms. We have been working for months without pay. We're here to demand justice for our rights!"

"Give us our rights!"

"Give us our rights!"

The sound of their cries was so loud that I began to get closer to the group of workers from the people of the people who were calling for their justice and rights.

A young man who became a provocation and stood in the front row of the workers seemed very feminized to me. When I started to remember, the shadow of Bo Qing finally appeared. I was quite surprised when I realized that, so surprised I also blinked for a while to make sure my vision was not problematic.

"What's going on?" The heavy voice of the emperor's father who was now asking the nearby residents jolted me from the daydream.

The resident glanced at Ayahanda at a glance, I held my breath as the resident stared at the figure of Ayahanda who now looked down disguised her face with the headscarf she was wearing. Luckily the resident again threw his gaze forward and replied "the construction workers protested to the officials at the governor's hall. All I hear is they haven't been paid. Though the project of making a dock on the south coast is quite large, but until now the officials only channeled development funds and have not lowered the wage funds for the workers" it was clearly the resident who had managed to make Emperor Wei clench both his hands held back his fury that was about to explode.

Not long after, the soldiers rushed out and beat the workers with wooden sticks. The commotion they made seemed to have infuriated the officials until they started to drop the soldiers at the capital's governor's hall to clear up the commotion.

As I was about to go forward to stop being annoyed by their unjust actions, the Wei emperor held me in one hand and said "a royal princess should be gentle and dignified, for this kind of violent problem, let Fathers intervene"
