My Empress From The Future
The Imperial Envoy Wen
The main hall of Wu kingdom.
Regular meetings attended by all ministers and officials have been held. Emperor Tian Yi sat on his throne and listened to the reports from the officials. After the discussion, finally the bright spot of the problem was found.
Not long after, a eunuch came to Eunuch Kang. The little eunuch held out a letter. By Eunuch Kang the letter was then given to the Emperor.
After reading the letter, the Emperor's countenance became delighted.
"My dear officials and ministers. Do you know what this letter is about? This letter came from the Wen kingdom. It says they asked for permission to visit our kingdom. The Wen Kingdom wants to establish cooperation with us. What's your response?"
"Congratulations to Emperor Tian Yi and the kingdom of Wu. According to the servant, there is no harm in establishing cooperation with them. The land of Wen state is rich in precious stone mining. Various jewels from the Wen kingdom almost entirely have a high selling point," minister Kang first voiced.
Although his daughter only became a Guifei, Minister Kang increasingly felt she was above the clouds. Many ministers were not in line with his thoughts, he was secretly hostile and complicated every time he made an argument even in front of the Emperor.
"Minister Kang is right, according to the royal servant of Wu we can be even more successful without having to experience war," Huo's official said.
"Does anyone else agree?" The emperor asked as he looked at the entire hall.
"We agree, Your Majesty." All offices sound at the same time.
"Send a counter-letter confirming our agreement to receive their emissary! Restore the city, prepare a welcome and celebration to welcome them! Show that our Wu country is a friendly and open country!" emperor Tian Yi's orders.
"We are ready to carry out the Emperor's orders."
"good. Disperse meeting!"
"May the Emperor live a long life of thousands of years," all the officials accompanied the Emperor's departure with respect.

Concubine Ming decided to pay a visit to Zhuanshi's palace. For him who likes tranquility, confined in the Pearl palace only accompanied by a ladyboy and eunuchs is not a hassle. It was just that in honor of the Empress, she had to visit the Empress in her palace.
"Concubine Ming please appear before the Empress."
"Please come in."
"Honour to Empress Meihua, may peace always be."
"Wake up sister, come sit here! You finally visited too. I'm getting lonely."
"Thank you Empress. Forgive me for visiting now."
"Aiyaa, call brother as usual. The Empress's call wasn't it too long to say?"
"Empress is right. But calling according to position is the rule of the palace. Servants don't dare."
"Call when there are many people!" Breakup Meihua.
"All right."
"Sister, drink this green tea. Just brewed by Li Mei. Brother Ming, are you not feeling well? Why is your face pale?"
"Thank you big brother, lately the head of the sister is often dizzy and sometimes the eyes twitch."
"You sick? Have you called the doctor?" Meihua asked worriedly.
"Sister, said the healer, I must not be exposed to cold air for too long." It was only then that Meihua realized, Mingfen was wearing a thick robe outside of her dress. When it was early spring, the air had turned warm.
"Li Mei, bring ginseng and Lingzhi mushrooms a gift from the Queen Mother, give it to Mingfen!" Meihua's orders, directly carried out by his personal servant.
"Aiyaa, big brother doesn't have to bother. Really sister has improved," declined Mingfen.
"Silence and accept it. Use it for your health. Remember the Queen Mother's message to give offspring to the kingdom of Wu."
"Sister thanks you for your generosity."
"No need to hesitate, has Brother Hong visited you?"
"Already, even brought me a concoction of drugs. He said from his family's trusted healer."
"Thank God he's good to you too."
"Sister, since sister has been here a long time, sister beg yourself."
"Why rush? We haven't exchanged many stories."
"Next time my sister visits again. Excuse me, brother."
"Alright, be careful Mingfen. Take good care of your health."
After nodding saluted, concubine Ming walked away. Behind him, Meihua could only sigh in concern. Li Mei, who was under her command, investigated the incense content of concubine Hong's giving, finding something unexpected.
The incense contains a substance that can cause dependence, hallucination and long-term effects even death. Meihua hoped, Mingfen did not get the incense and use it.

Someone walked out of the palace. The steps taken were so rushed, sometimes his head turned to and fro. The black headgear was so big, it covered up to half of his face. Only the lips and chin are visible. The lips were red and the little chin indicated that the owner was a young woman.
But what did a young woman do in the middle of the night, half-run to the palace healers' residence?
As if it had been memorized by the path it had traveled, the mysterious figure knocked on one of the doors. Not long after, the door opened and the figure entered quickly.
"Tabibi is my master's order ready?"
"It's been ready since yesterday. It's just waiting for people from the residence palace...."
"Give it now! No need to mention my master's name."
"alright. Here take it, be careful,"the middle-aged aunt held out a small, neatly folded paper.
"good. Here's the pay," the mysterious figure responded quickly and held out a bag of money. "Remember, when the time comes you must testify for my master!"
"I understand. I'll testify for sir."
After getting what he was looking for, the mysterious figure returned down the road to his master's residence. His steps were fast, half running without making a sound.

"Your Majesty. Aren't you going to visit Zhuanshi's palace?"
Eunuch Kang's question was coldly responded to by Emperor Tian Yi. It is still remembered that Meihua himself encouraged her to go to the palace of the concubines.
"No. We're going to the Jade Palace!"
"But Your Majesty. If you only visit the Jade Palace, then people will think you don't like Concubine Ming."
"alright. Go to the Pearl palace!"
"Good."
.
.
.
.
The Pearl Palace looked peaceful and calm. Lanterns hung in various corners of the palace. The soldiers on guard all bowed respectfully as the Emperor passed by them. When Eunuch Kang announced the Emperor's arrival, Mingfen was surprised not to be a bitch. His mind thought, what wind brought the Emperor to his place.
"Greetings to His Majesty the Emperor."
"Wake up!"
"Thank you Your Majesty."
"Concubine Ming, how are you?"
"Answering His Majesty. The situation of the servant here is fine. Thanks for your attention."
"Good."
After the conversation, the atmosphere went back to silence. The awkward atmosphere was clearly felt. Mingfen even squeezed both of his hands red. The girl held a dizzy feeling in her head. The sharp-sighted emperor saw the awkwardness.
"Consort Ming are you sick?"
"Hamba is okay, Your Majesty. Just a little dizzy."
"You should call the healer! Eunuch Kang!"
"Your Majesty. Not necessary. Servant has called the court physician, this is just a common illness that women suffer from."
"Oohs. Then Zhen can calm down."
"I'm sorry for bothering you."
"Forget over! Since you're feeling unwell, you better get some rest. Zhen there's still work unfinished."
"Hamba understands. Your Majesty be careful."
"Hm."
Thankfully the Emperor did not want to spend the night here.

"Empress, these days the Emperor has not come here. Are you and the Emperor's majesty fighting again?"ask Li Mei slowly. Meihua just sighed.
"The Empress, if this is left alone, the losers are you."
"What do you mean?"
"If the Emperor likes concubine Hong, then your standing will be threatened."
"I don't care about this position and status. From the beginning, didn't I really want to be Empress?"
"But now you have become Empress. You can't just carelessly strip away your status."
"Why?"
"Think of General Li's residence, Your Majesty. Think of the lives of the people you are connected to."
Meihua sighed again, did she really have to give up first this time?
"Here is Li Mei! Bring me some cake and some green tea!"
"You're going to take him to the Emperor?"tanya Li Mei was happy. Face sparkles.
"Of course to enjoy myself!"
"Aih. Good Your Majesty."
On his way to the kitchen of Zhuanshi's palace, Li Mei passed by a maid carrying a food box. The waiter looked nervous, even looking scared. Li Mei who had to immediately fulfill Meihua's request, decided to ignore the servant.

While the capital was decorated in such a way, the lanterns that had long since been lowered and replaced with new ones. The streets of the capital were cleared, the merchants in the market were orderly, multicolored flowers were planted along the way.
The citizens of the capital stared in astonishment, but their astonishment did not last long after seeing the announcement that the palace attendant had taped. The news of the arrival of the envoy from the Wen kingdom soon spread widely. All the people were happy, their smiles were perfect.
The royal palace is also being restored. Chunyi Pavilion to be used as the residence of the messengers in a careful order. The servants and eunuchs worked together. Chunyi Pavilion looked even more interesting.
