My Cruel Little Empress
Chapter 31

Embroidering was not as easy as he imagined, as the woman said, the tailor, he needed to learn about the basics of embroidery first before drawing the embroidery pattern I wanted on a piece of cloth before embroidering it with patience and concentration.

I am currently reading a basic book - the basics of craft. But it was only a few hours that I read the basic book - the basic craft that was taken in the royal library, he said, I was already feeling very sleepy even though the night had just greeted me and the tailor woman who would become my teacher had long gone home. Before he came home, he asked me to read a basic book - the basis of the craft, before tomorrow night began to teach me by drawing or making patterns on the cloth I was going to embroider.

Of the many lessons and books that I learned in hiding, only art lessons always managed to make bored and ended up sleepy. And when compared with history lessons or military books and more complicated war strategies, only art always works to make me like this. If only this gift wasn't for the empress' mother, I wouldn't have bothered to learn such a boring lesson like this, even though in art I'm very good at playing various kinds of music. It's just that I've been hiding my talent for too long, I've finally gotten used to hiding my abilities on the advice of the Ma family's youngest daughter who's been fooling me.

I put the book I read on the round table in the middle of my room, after which I got up from my seat and stepped foot into my contest. It seems that I need to lay my body down for a moment, especially the drowsiness that strikes me further makes my eyes heavy and wants to be closed immediately.

I laid my body on the complaint, as I was about to close my eyes, suddenly the door of my room was opened forcibly from the outside. I then woke up sitting my body because I was surprised, stroking my chest first before looking at the perpetrator. Not enough to my surprise, I was again surprised by the figure of crown prince Liang who almost made my heart stop beating because his presence arrived - arrived before me. Irritatedly I hit his arm hard because it interfered with my break, also because it disturbed me.

"Gee!" I shouted annoyed

"Can't gege knock on the door first? I almost died because of the arrival of the gege that almost made my heart stop!" ask me in an annoyed tone.

"Pardon me, but this is an emergency. The empress' mother almost found my painting when she came to visit me, so I will keep my painting in your residence for a while because I have nowhere safe but here" obviously crown prince Liang with his breath still broken - broken

I could only breathe out violently, if the arrival of the crown prince Liang was not for reasons of wanting to hide the gifts he would give to the empress Mother, maybe I'll have the guards drag him out for interrupting my break.

"May may.help me hide my painting" asked crown prince Liang to take one of my hands and shake it while persuading me.

I sighed resignedly and said "Yes, gege can hide it here" I said in the end

"But where am I going to hide it? All the places in your room will definitely be touched and monitored by the empress' mother" crown prince Liang said.

I then thought for a long time before remembering a secret place in my room that no one knew except me and the emperor's father. I immediately got down from my contest and pulled crown prince Liang into the right side room near my bath which was the clothing room. In my memory, I remember having a secret room behind my closet - my wardrobe. The secret room was the room that the emperor's father and the royal special warriors built as a hiding room if at any time danger targeted me in the palace.

I remember vividly in my memory the dream I had was so real, or the life I had been through for real before I was raised from the dead in my body which is now only 14 years old. As young general Wu Cheng began to march against the kingdom with his supporters to overthrow the royal family on the throne, the father of the then emperor Wei dragged me into the room to hide.

If only I had not heard General Wu Cheng's screams and threats in my room announcing loudly and loudly the threat that would have killed my whole family if I had not returned to him as wife and also the prisoner, all my family will be gone. Finally I came out of hiding because I did not want my whole family to die, unfortunately when I chose to come out of hiding, at that time I was sorry because at that time my whole family was slaughtered in front of my eyes and at that time I also followed them and died at the hands of young general Wu Cheng who was so me puja and admire first.

If only I had survived, the death of the emperor's father, the empress' mother and my gege would not have been in vain if I had still lived. That way I can avenge them for their deaths, unfortunately the path of destiny says differently, in the end I also died at the hands of the people I adored so much.

"May may. Why did you bring me here?" crown prince Liang asked to jolt me from the daydream.

"You kidding? your dressing room is a place that the empress' mother always pays attention to!" said crown prince Liang was not in thought

"Did you deliberately let the empress' mother find my gift?" accusingly

I then glared at the crown prince Liang for his unwarranted accusations, my resentment that had disappeared is now returned because of his accusations against me. I then said "If I let the empress' mother find the gege painting, why should I help gege by allowing gege to hide the gege painting here if the empress' mother could have found a gege hideout?" ask me with a slender tone

"If I have such bad intentions, why should I bother helping gege! I should have asked the guards to drag me out, now I'm very upset with the gege" I said and turned around to leave him in my wardrobe, but my steps were held back when crown prince Liang quickly severed my arm.

"May may I'm just joking, you don't need to be that serious" crown prince Liang said

"'If you're sorry, I promise that if you forgive me, I'll often take you to visit Bo Qing and see his progress" his offer that instantly made me weigh in. It didn't take long, I then agreed to crown prince Liang's offer. I turned around and stood in my position.

"Then where are we going to hide my painting?" ask crown prince Liang

"We'll hide it, behind the closet" I replied, which immediately caused crown prince Liang to gape in surprise.

"Huh?"
