The Journey of the Empress
38 Drinking

"Queen Luie Fei, your tea taste really good" the First Consort said.

"Haha...! First Consort Xiou Ying do not speak like that, This Empress knows that you only intend to praise yourself" Empress Luie Fei said with a bland laugh.

"This concubine is not like that Empress Luie Fei" the First Concubine said.

If only Empress Luie Fei was not an Empress of the Ying Dynasty would she teach him a lesson that Empress Luie Fei could not forget.Hah if only she was an Empress then she would not have to speak condescendingly like those.

"Aitts... First Concubine Xiou Ying should not be too devoured by the heart.This empress only said a joke, really so did Empress Yie Er?" empress Luie Fei asked with a grin.

The atmosphere of the Western Gazebo now felt silent without the conversation of the Empress and the other Concubines.They all turned their eyes towards Yie Er, who was,they thought that Empress Luie Fei was not usually willing to ask Yie Er if there was no intention, something would happen.

Anyone thought that Empress Luie Fei would be pitting Yie Er and First Concubine.

"Ah sorry Empress Luie Fei! This empress did not notice you were so good at your concoction tea," said Yie Er showing her sorry face.

Hearing that the First Concubine was pleased, seeing the hardened face of anger from Empress Luie Fei.look at it later if she managed to get rid of the useless weak Empress Yie Er from the Empress' chair.She would become an Empress,and until that time comes he will avenge Empress Luie Fei.

"Ahaha Empress Luie Fei, Empress Yie Er who never understood whose name concocted just said delicious.Therefore this concubine asked never intend to stab someone from the front!" the First Concubine smiled mockingly.

"First Concubine Xiou ...!"

"Of course, this Empress wants to taste all the tea concoctions that have been made with expertise immediately" said Empress Bai Lu cutting Empress Luie Fei calmly.

"How dare you Empress Bai Lu!" empress Luie Fei growled when she was cut off without any courtesy.

"Sorry Empress Luie Fei, this young Empress didn't realize that?" empress Bai Lu lowered her head slightly.

Yie Er had seen how Empress Bai Lu's movements were, without the Empress and other Consorts knowing that Empress Bai Lu had grinned.

Yie Er felt Empress Bai Lu was more cunning compared to Empress Luie Fei who attacked without thinking and the Serpent Consort who attacked with what she had.

If viewed in this sense, perhaps his toughest opponent was Empress Bai Lu in Zui Qiang.

"This Empress is at heart, but if Empress Bai Lu repeats her again... This Empress did not hesitate to give Empress Bai Lu a gift," Empress Luie Fei said.

"Yes, waiters pour more tea in order!" pinta Empress Luie Fei.

The banquet that was delayed due to a small quarrel was back on its way.Faing Yu's errand servants began pouring tea from the Empress and Consorts in quick succession.

Occasionally the waiter glanced at First Concubine while pouring consecutive tea concoctions.

Yie Er was tired of waiting for them to sip every tea slowly to know who the best tea mix.Him taste wastes time, how difficult it is to drink each tea with one sip,after all, the taste is the same just a little different and just choose which one is the most delicious.

Long wait his turn to concoct his tea poured, finally the time in waiting arrived.Now right behind his side the floater was slowly taking his tea concoction.

The tea concoction containing the terrible poison had now been filled in all the small cups in front of the Empress and Consorts, including the First Consort.

The Empress and Consorts looked at Yie Er's tea before them in doubt, last year they had tasted Yie Er's tea that had no taste.

Indeed, if faced with such an unpleasant tea as this First Consort, Empress Luie Fei and the cunning Empress Bai Lu felt unable.

If only they could not drink Yie Er tea concoction, then they would all do.Only that all can not be done because the tradition of this banquet says if every tea concoction must be drunk.

"Why are the Empress and Consorts all just silent? let's quickly finish this concoction of tea made by the Empress! Do you feel afraid if this tea has poison? ohh relax this tea there is no poison as you think," said Yie Er smiling grinning in surprise.

In his mind why did the Empress and Concubine not drink her tea concoction? even though there is poison in it but still it tastes Yie Er to make it as good as possible.

"Ahh no Empress Yie Er just we wait to drink together," said one of the smiling concubines holding up a cup filled with Yie Er tea concoction.

"Ahh then let's drink together!" get Yie Er to lift the cup in front of him as well as the others.

If you think Yie Er will drink his tea concoction is also true.He will drink his tea but only a little, and also the level of poison in his cup is only a little.

Because if he did not feel pain by not drinking the poison the higher-ups would feel suspicious knowing all the Empress and Consort felt pain for some time, but he did not.

And if you also think Yie Er is crazy, by drinking the poison, then the answer is no,he did it all just so that his plan succeeds without suspect.It was a devious way Yie Er could not be imitated by his enemies.
