The Journey of the Empress
Embark

"Concubine Rong is impolite and does not know her place here, dares to act like an Empress then with this, as Emperor I punish Concubine Rong is prohibited from leaving her residence for one month, she said, the one-month ration will be dispensed with and Consort Rong will have to copy the tatakrama book a hundred times!" the Emperor's words passed by and the ministers left Xiumei, who looked down at the fallen Concubine Rong, receiving a punishment she had not received since entering the palace.

************

Supposedly for the royal feast to be carried out later was done by Grand Concubine, but because Consort Rong was serving his sentence, the banquet this time was handed over to the Empress as it should be.

Household plaques have also been handed back to the Empress considering the Empress has made a full recovery from her illness, it's just that the palace people and outsiders consider that the Empress's face is still ugly because the Empress always wears her veil wherever she goes.

At the Peach Pavilion, Lin Xiumei and her lady-in-waiting for the Empress Dowager and Empress-Mother to discuss the sudden banquet.

The Queen's beautiful eyes stared at every detail of the building calmly, her hands occasionally stretched out to get the ripe peaches that were bearing fruit along the way leading to the main pavilion where the Empress Dowager lived.

"Did the Empress wait here long?" ask the Empress Dowager while placing herself followed also by the Empress Mother.

Lin Xiumen gave his body and bowed for a moment to pay his respects to the two women who were very meaningful in his life in this ancient world.

"No Your Majesty, I have also just arrived and have eaten a lot of Grandma hehe peaches" said Lin Xiumei slowly.

The Empress Dowager laughed at this sweet granddaughter-in-law before her.

"You can take the Peach tree planted here to plant in your place too if you want?" the Empress Dowager's words further delighted Lin Xiumei and nodded her head enthusiastically.

The Queen Mother also laughed at the silliness of her daughter-in-law, so blind her son had wasted a gem for a worthless grain of sand like that very cunning rong concubine said the inner Empress.

"Mother isn't this acari for your birthday?" asked Lin Xiumei to make sure.

"Yes my son, this event is for your mother's birthday, hmm what's the matter?" ask the Queen Mother.

"What's wrong Mother, I just want to think about the concept for the next few days so that the birthday celebration of the mother this time is very memorable!" said Lin Xiumei.

"You are, your mother will always be impressed whatever you do. Make them regret for insulting and oppressing my beautiful daughter-in-law, especially make the man feel regret for choosing his favorite sleazy concubine!" the Empress Mother looked at Lin Xiumei intently.

"Yes, grandma agrees they should feel what they've done to my beautiful daughter-in-law!" support the Empress Dowager.

"Yes grandma and mom don't have to worry, I have promised myself to make them feel what I used to feel!" lin Xiumei.

"In the near future your father and brother will reach this capital, they may have time to attend my daughter-in-law's banquet" said the Empress Dowager, both of whom were taken.

Time passed so quickly that the afternoon the three talked while enjoying a special dish made by Lin Xiumei.

"This dish has never been seen before, but it tastes very good rich in spices and very tender," said the Empress Mother who continued to eat spicy chicken pieces made by Lin Xiumei.

"Surely my daughter-in-law, your dishes are really delicious. This granny now had a compelling reason to stay alive haha!!" the Empress Dowager said she ate yellow soup, which was also the dish of Lin Xiumei.

"Sister be my wife, you don't deserve that stupid ice sculpture!" said the seventh Prince named Bai Xuan, please note the Empress only has two sons namely Bai Yuan and Bai Xuan who are the legitimate children of the previous Emperor, their other sons were only the children of concubines who now had their own residence outside the palace since the previous Emperor died of illness.

There were seven princes including the Emperor, but the only two who lived in the palace were the two princes. The five princes chose to enter the Academy to study and hone their knowledge there from the time they were eight years old.

"Grandmother and Mother are too praised, actually Xiumei has the idea to cook this dish as the main menu at the birthday celebration of the mother, even if the mother agrees?" lin Xiumei asked for permission.

"Mother and Grandma why not listen to my request to marry my sister?" said the Seventh Prince sadly.

"Darling you're too young to marry your aunt!" the Empress Dowager said casually.

The Seventh Prince chipped his lips in annoyance but his hand still ate such a sweet dish that was so good in front of him that it was not left even his Mother and Empress Dowager did not have their share that made the two protest in annoyance.

"Mother and Grandma, I will send another dish tomorrow morning for breakfast, the dish will also be served later as the main menu, I will also serve, then I permit my resignation because time has shown nightfall," said Lin Xiumei respectfully.

After obtaining permission to return to his residence, Lin Xiumei walked cheerfully while carrying the Peach Tree cubs that he would plant later with Qiyue.

At the beginning of his journey home was still running smoothly but approaching his residence instead Lin Xiumei had to cross paths with the man ******** the unlucky one is very handsome but still handsome oppa oppa koreaanya haha inward Xiumei.

(Emperor Bai Yuan)

"The Empress walked so late out of nowhere and was being disrespectful to this Emperor!" bai Yuan said sharply, next to the cold man stood two of his right hands that he trusted so much.

(Li Gong Ye)

(Li Gong Yu)

Two brothers who were so cold as his master, yet their good looks were extraordinary despite being covered in that mysterious mask. The good looks of the two were no less than that of the Emperor could even be said to be equal.

"Is Your Majesty talking to me?" said Xiumei plain.

"Yes, of course I'm talking to you! Still not admitting what your mistake was?" asked the Emperor glaring in annoyance.

"Ah I guess you're talking alone or with those two handsome guys beside you!" xiumei stared leisurely at the two guards of the Emperor's trust.

"You-you! Quickly return to your residence before I punish you!" the Emperor held back his emotions that were ready to explode at any moment.

"Of course Your Majesty is stopping my journey anyway, remember Your Majesty is acting as usual! Suppose you do not know me, and for the celebration later the readiness will be a little more finished so you can calm down! I say please in the future Your Majesty do not interfere in my affairs whatever it is!" said Lin Xiumei passed after bowing his head slightly.

The three men stared in disbelief at the girl who had just been through them, usually the girl ah rather Empress Lin Xiumei was a timid person even looking at His Majesty the Emperor alone he had never done during his time in this palace, but seeing the behavior of the Empress today inevitably made the three flabbergasted with their respective minds.

If Li Gong Ye and Li Gong Yu appreciate the treatment of the Empress who they think is great and courageous, so another with the Emperor who felt a sense of loss in his heart because of the Empress' indifferent treatment of him, even the Empress' gaze implied a deep hatred for him.

The Emperor himself was at a loss as to what had happened to him since his first meeting with the Empress, his heart and attitude seemed to be unable to accept the present treatment of the Empress.

Moreover, some days he did not taste to do activities with his Self especially with Consort Rong, even he forgot the existence of the woman who is currently serving the sentence.
