And after walking quite a distance, finally xia Mei could see a board that read Phoenix pavilion. Isn't that name usually reserved for the residence of important people of the empire.
And sure enough as he expected, the waiter who picked him up walked into the residence. And it was confirmed that this was the residence of the empress of xinxing
this pavilion looked so majestic and spacious, there were even many soldiers and servants on duty there. But that does not make xia mei interested, because she herself has her own ideas for her future residence, and it seems like it will be a condition for men to pet her later.
"come in princess, noble consort xinxin has been waiting for you"
The servant's word.
Xia mei nodded her head, then began to slowly step her feet into the room.
and now his eyes can catch a middle-aged woman who looks busy with her activities, who looks to be embroidering a red cloth
"honor the noble servant empress"
xia Mei said respectfully, she bowed her body.
The empress of xinxing then stopped her activities, then looked at the xia mei who was now in front of her, and when xia mei raised her face.
she was shocked for some time, seeing that xia mei's appearance was not as usual. This time the girl looked so beautiful even without any makeup, with hanfu with a simple cut but did not eliminate the impression of luxury for the eyes that looked at her.
"ahh there is no need to hesitate xiaer, do not you usually call this empress with the name of aunt"
empress Xinxing said after waking up from her shock, she tried to remind the girl, because it was like news that spread if xia Mei had forgotten her memories.
Then he patted the chair next to him, asking xia mei to be there.
Xia mei obviously complied, with slow and graceful steps she sat down near the empress of xinxing
"why never see an aunt? Even when you realized you came straight home without seeing me first"
the woman sounded a little protesting when she recalled that day the waiter gave her the news if her son's potential fiancee came home after waking up. But despite the protests, the middle-aged woman's hand stroked the long hair belonging to xia mei that she let unravel and was decorated with rose-shaped hair clips
"forgive me aunt, I think I fell asleep for enough time until I woke up so much I missed my parents"
Clearly xia Mei slowly, she put on her sad face as naturally as possible.
"don't be sad baby, just that aunt wants to make sure if you're okay before returning to your residence, no matter what accident happened to you in the palace area"
obviously empress xinxing was quick, she breathed her coarse breath when recalling the incident, she felt guilty that xia mei had escaped her supervision
"do you not remember anything that happened at that time, you could not have fallen into the pool by itself, right?"
Guess empress xinxing then
"i don't know for sure about that auntie, but in my vague memory I felt like a girl was pushing me, but I forgot her face"
xia Mei replied that she had begun to make up her story, but seeing the response of empress xinxing it seemed like she believed in xia mei
"a girl?"
The empress asked, she was obviously surprised to hear that
Xia mei nodded her head
"have you really not remembered anything until now, I mean have you also forgotten the crown prince?"
"yes aunt"
Xia mei said lethargicly, if only she was in the modern age it was certain that she would be awarded the best actress of the year.
"oo don't be sad baby, I'm sure your memory won't be back long"
Empress xinxing's voice trying to comfort xia mei who looked sad.
Xia Mei then nodded her head, then her gaze was now fixed on a painting that was plastered on the wall in the room with a size large enough, and showed a family picture that was so harmonious.
"definitely aunty is so happy to marry uncle xiu is not, even until the old days uncle is still loyal to aunt"
The empress of xinxing who heard that was immediately embarrassed, a red tinge was visible on both of her cheeks.
"yes aunty is lucky to marry your uncle, about faithfully you know son, our marriage is not that smooth, there are many girls who are interested in him ,even some respectable families ask your uncle to raise their descendants despite only holding the title of concubine later"
Said empress xinxing, now her brain seems to repeat how the twists and turns of her household life.
"it's just that your uncle balked at appointing a concubine, even until he opposed his parents"
xia Mei developed her smile hearing that
"then the demented nature of your son the woman declined to whom was empress xinxing?"
His inner chuckle imagined the nature of the crown prince Xiu ming and his two parents were so different.
Ogre xia mei, making empress xinxing look at her pity.
He knew very well what was on xia mei's mind this time, where his son had not yet been able to accept xia mei to be his fiancee
"auntis the crown prince going to love me like uncle loves aunty?"
She then looked at empress xinxing with glassy eyes.
"sure, because you're the best girl that aunt chose for her"
empress Xinxing tried to convince xia Mei who now looked fragile in her eyes.
"ta but what if crown prince Xiu ming has another woman behind me auntie, auntie knows it must be so painful I don't want that"
Now the tears of xia mei shed soaked her smooth cheeks.
"don't cry, if that happens then the aunt will be on your side, and if it happens before your wedding the aunt will talk to the emperor"
timpal empress xinxing who then wiped away xia mei's tears. She feels guilty about her son's behavior, however she understands xia mei's feelings, loving someone who doesn't reciprocate our feelings is so painful
"promise aunt?"
"of course aunt promises"
Then xia Mei entered into the woman's arms, revealing a faint smile.
"stage one is complete, and stage two will begin"
Inner pleased.
kriekkkk
feeling someone enter the room made the two women release their arms.
he was the emperor xiu chen.
"second target"
Inner xia Mei could guess who entered the room
"what did you do to xiaer, empress?"
emperor xiu asked in surprise, then walked up to the two women.
"auntie doesn't do anything uncle, it's just that I'm jealous of an aunt who has a loyal man like you"
Clearly xia mei was fast.
Emperor xiu who heard that instantly felt a great head, and felt proud when xia mei who seemed to praise him indirectly.
"of course, only a real man can be loyal to one woman"
Emperor xiu's timpal who boasted of himself.
"what makes you cry?"
Asked emperor xiu back in surprise
"i'm just afraid if the crown prince can't love me like uncle loves aunt, or even have another woman behind me"
great-grandson xia Mei with her face down
Seeing that made the empress hold xia mei's hand warmly
"of course it won't happen, because he has a father who is loyal to his mother"
Emperor xiu was sure
"but what if that happens, will uncle not defend me?"
Now he looked at emperor xiu with glassy eyes, and of course emperor xiu felt unbearable to see him
"if he's guilty of course uncle will side with you son, don't think too far because uncle is sure even though he doesn't love you now he certainly won't play behind you"
Clearly the xiu emperor was trying to make xia mei confident towards her son.
"and now your parents are on my side the crown prince"
Inner xia mei pleased
