My Cruel Little Empress
Chapter 52

The day went by so quickly, this morning a shipment from the famous tailor of the capital Zhang came to the Wu family residence after the order for the clothes they had sewed had been completed. This morning of course Ma Mei Rong welcomed the delivery of clothes - clothes with great pleasure, the article is when again he felt to be a powerful woman and spoiled thanks to the baby in the womb.

Ma Mei Rong opened the package of clothes with enthusiasm, when the package was released, he immediately opened the box in front of him. As the box fully opened, a light-colored piece of clothing greeted Ma Mei Rong's sense of sight. The colors of the clothes in the box are the fabrics that Ma Mei Rong himself chose in the Wu family's storage warehouse. In the Wu family there was no other woman in their residence other than her, moreover, both the prime minister of Ming and the young general Wu Cheng did not attach much importance to the scrolls - the scrolls of cloth that were plentiful in the warehouse, finally Ma Mei Rong sewed him some pieces of clothing for himself.

"I'll wear these clothes later!" exclaimed Ma Mei Rong lifting a piece of gold-colored clothing that was so bright and striking.

Some of the maids who were in the same room as him at this moment only caught a glimpse before looking down and shrugging their heads when they saw Ma Mei Rong's choice fall on a very light-colored outfit and it was very unsuitable with his skin yellow.

"I don't know how the young mistress made her choice on gold compared to other brightly colored and calm pieces of clothing" one waitress whispered to her colleague

"I know she's a girl who's good at looking other than her pretty looks, but why now does her clothing taste seem to change?" ask the other waiter

"It may have been because of her pregnancy hormones or because she wanted to show off the clothes that were one of the rare fabric scrolls that the emperor gave to the young master when he won the war" answer the lady who has more body than others.

What the servants said was not entirely wrong. Ma Mei Rong wanted to wear the clothes to show off to everyone who had insulted her just because of her ugliness a few days ago because she had been in contact with young general Wu Cheng without any marriage ties. In addition, he wanted to make the Ma family regret having thrown it away and he wanted to show the prime minister Ma Ze Dong, Ma Xiao Qing and Zhang Mu Lan's daughter that she lived were overwhelmed by wealth, prosperity and affection through the clothes she wore. Although all he would show later was a falsity because the Wu family only treated him well only because of the baby he was born with.

"I'm going to be different and steal people's attention later!"

"Haccaah!"

I rubbed my itchy nose, from yesterday to today I did not stop to keep sneezing. I don't know if I might get the flu or just because someone said my name from behind. From both of those assumptions, I chose the second one instead. Everyone will never stop talking about my ugliness, and perhaps the story they discussed this time about me was because I did not want to pick up and welcome the Han royal entourage yesterday afternoon.

Never mind, instead of thinking about the reason why I sneezed. It's good if I lay down my body while thinking and preparing the next plans. Because of my actions that changed my fate line so early by reuniting Ma Mei Rong and young general Wu Cheng early, all the problems that would come my way as well as the Zhang royal family would also change. Nonetheless, I must remain vigilant if at any time one or more of the same problems and disasters in my memory will come to us.

I sighed after successfully laying my body on my soft mattress. The comfort I felt managed to drive away the worry that attacked me. My brain was forced to think, guess what would happen to me in the future. But because of too many bad preconceptions that I think, I did not find the bright spot of all the problems and presumptions that might happen to me.

Just now I said so, suddenly Bo Qing came and stood by the side of the contest while calling out to me. I who just wanted to close my eyes, then turned a glance and said massively "What else is gege telling you this time?" my ketus.

From yesterday afternoon until today I was still raising the flag of hostility to crown prince Liang. His words were of course very painful, even managing to anger me and inhabit him like this. But the thing that made me angry from his words even though all that was true, because my brother had kept the reprimand for many years.

If only crown prince Liang had said it earlier, and kept reminding and reprimanding him slowly, he said, I might be able to take it and I wouldn't be this shy and angry because I was fooled by that damn woman. Although I know that what crown prince Liang is doing is just an eye to keep my feelings.

"Her Majesty crown prince Liang asked the kitchen cook to cook your favorite food and snacks, his highness crown prince Liang wishes you would accept it and can forgive him" replied Bo Qing who jolted me from the daydream.

"I don't want to. Tell the servants to bring back all the food and snacks to the crown prince Liang's residence" I broke up

"But your majesty, crown prince Liang has asked the royal cook to cook for you specifically. His highness the crown prince even begged the emperor's noble help just for the sake of the cuisine for your sake in the middle - the busy palace cooks prepare food to be distributed to the commoners in the palace in front of the main gate of the palace" Bo Qing explained at length.

I heard it quite touched, but still my ego refused to accept the crown prince Liang's apology. My brother was so good at persuading me with food that was my weakness. But I was determined that this time I would stick around and follow my ego. I wanted to test and see the sincerity of my air in apologizing to me for what he said yesterday.

"I don't care, Bo Qing!" I said, "Just give me back all the food and snacks at my command, and tell Gege that I'll forgive him if he shows his sincerity apologizing to me!"
