My Cruel Little Empress
Chapter 59
"Greetings to the Emperor's Father and Empress Mother, may the emperor's father and empress' mother live a thousand years" I said with crown prince Liang simultaneously not forgetting to bow respectfully before our two parents.
"That crown prince Zhang Yong Liang and daughter Zhang Mu Lan" the empress Yin Yin asked, which we followed.
After following the orders, the crown prince said, "We went to the empress' mother and wanted to give a gift, perhaps the price is not as expensive as the gifts that the empress' mother received from the Han kingdom or from government officials and military officials, but we both hope the empress mother still receives a gift that is full of perseverance, he said, the patience, love and sincerity that we poured out through the gifts that we would give" crown prince Liang said then turned his head back to code his subordinates so that his gifts were below him, the same thing I did to Bo Qing who quickly handed me the gift box containing my embroidery.
"Hopefully the empress' mother likes it, sorry if the results are not neat" I hope to hand my gift box to the empress' mother as well as the crown prince Liang who handed over the scrolls of his paintings that I have added ribbons as sweeteners.
The empress quickly accepted it, and she said, "May you open your gifts?" his tan immediately made crown prince Liang look at me for approval.
I who noticed my brother's gaze turned and returned his gaze, only a moment before I returned to throw my gaze at the Empress Mother "Of course the empress' mother can open it" my answer did not forget to smile widely to show both dimples of my cheeks.
Empress Yin Yin opened the crown prince Liang's gift first, as she opened the scroll, she was stunned for a while and said "I-this.. this is a picture of Bengong when he was 15 years old, how can you paint him Liang'er, this painting is long gone and as Bengong remembered, Bengong has only shown you once and that was when you were 9 years old, how can you remember it to this much detail?" ask empress Yin Yin and then take out her handkerchief because she was moved.
"The empress' mother, this son of yours apologizes for making you cry. I don't mean that, Mother please stop, Mother knows the intimidating gaze of the Emperor's father barely makes me unable to stand up straight" said the crown prince Liang
"The mother did not cry because she was sad, but because she was very happy" replied Empress Yin Yin "thank you Liang'er for making a painting that is almost the same as the painting of your late grandfather" he added
"Just like Mother, it's nothing like the gift that may be given" crown prince Liang replied that made everyone ask - asking with curiosity about the gift I gave.
"Gege, guess what gift did Zhang Mu Lan's daughter give to empress Yin Yin?" ask Prince Min to crown prince Xin
"Why are you asking me, I don't even know what the contents of the gift box she gave me" crown prince Xin replied a little annoyed at her sister's sense of affection
"Gege you're not cool, I'm just asking, you don't have to be angry" Prince Min lamented
"You just need a lot of patience, you'll soon know what it is" the crown prince Xin retorted that managed to make prince Xin pout.
"Your life is too flat if you keep flat and serious like this" muttered prince Min who was still able to catch the hearing of crown prince Xin.
"And your life will not grow if you continue to take care of other people's affairs" crown prince Xin replied, leaving Prince Min silent.
As crown prince Xin and prince Min sparred, Ma Mei Rong who had only finished her dance a few minutes ago stared at Zhang Mu Lan's daughter's back with a sharp gaze. After his hopes of getting an interesting show of Zhang Mu Lan's daughter's appearance that would be so embarrassing as in his shadow failed, also his return provocation ended up failing. Makes Ma Mei Rong so angry that her anger has reached her crown.
The figure of the owner of the back that is behind him has now changed a lot, could it be because since the incident he fell and made him very careful? Or did he know and realize that Ma Mei Rong had been fooling him all along. Among the many prejudices that sprung up in his mind, made Ma Mei Rong feel dizzy. Feeling dizzy, Ma Mei Rong picked up the cup of tea on the table and pressed it down with a single gulp. His anger turned out to have an impact on the headache and made him thirsty, as a result he poured tea back into his cup and spent it.
"It seems that you are trying very hard" said young general Wu Cheng who then made Ma Mei Rong turn her head and look at her with an annoyed look "Unfortunately everyone's gaze from the very beginning had been fixed on Zhang Mu Lan's daughter who was the center of attention, your efforts are clearly in vain even though there are some old officials and nobles dancing with you drunk" he added, further angering Ma Mei Rong to a boil.
"May Rong, I'm just telling you to rest, it's for the good of our son. Remember your condition, your content is still very weak. Why don't you listen to me!" said young general Wu Cheng began to play a part.
Ma Mei Rong who was aware of the gazes of everyone who had now looked at her with mocking, dismissive and scornful gazes began to insinuate her one by one. Ma Mei Rong then threw her gaze back at the young general Wu Cheng who was now smiling triumphantly at him.
The young general Wu Cheng then moved his face right in front of Ma Mei Rong's face which slowly turned red due to the anger of "Keep like this Ma Mei Rong, show everyone your true look behind the mask of beauty you've been showing all along. Then I will be very satisfied!" whispered the young general Wu Cheng who slowly distanced his face in front of Ma Mei Rong and focused his gaze on the activities of the royal family before him as if - there would be no quarrel between him and Ma Mei Rong.
Just now the young general Wu Cheng noticed the sight before him, the amazed voices of the Han royal representative officials sounded very loud when empress Yin Yin held an ivory white silk cloth with a pheonix embroidery of gold and red threads that were so beautiful and neat. In addition, the pheonix embroidery is surrounded by pink, purple, and orange rose embroidery that adds beauty to the fabric.
"Your highness empress Yin Yin, the embroidery on the silk cloth is very beautiful and unique" praised one of the Han royal representative officials
"Well, this is so pretty!" praise empress Yin Yin Yin
"Your highness princess Mu Lan, who is the tailor who embroidered and embroidered the silk cloth?" asked one of the other Han royal representative officials who of course voiced the question that everyone wanted to ask after seeing the silk cloth with the embroidery and the beautiful embroidery.
"No tailor," my net managed to make everyone frown at the bewildered "What do you mean princess?" ask the official who previously questioned me with a confused face.
"I didn't hire any tailor to embroider and embroider the cloth" I replied
"Then where did you get it?" asked Prince Min who was no longer able to hold back his curiosity.
Hearing his sister voice the question made crown prince Xin turn to prince Min and look at his brother with a sharp look, unfortunately prince Min threw his face away after returning his brother's gaze. He is already great and let him voice his thoughts and curiosity that he can no longer bear.
"I embroidered it myself" I replied that managed to shock everyone.
