Back In Time (The Reincarnation of the Cruel Concubine)
Died
The sun began to show its rays, rising up along with the crow rooster unpretentious to each other. The thick fog of the morning gradually disappeared, replaced by the gentle highlight of the spring sun.
Wu Li Mei bellowed, gnashing her eyes repeatedly to adjust the incoming light. The woman grimaces when *******************feel painful, she frowns in wonder. This was definitely not the first time the woman had been in a relationship, but how could it be this painful.
The woman sat down, she frowned when Tal found Emperor Zhou by his side. With great difficulty Wu Li Mei got up, she grabbed her satin hanfu to wrap her naked plain body. Seeing himself he was ashamed.
"Darling Yi!"
Dayang Yi entered with the other five dayers, they bowed respectfully to the lord. The ladies-in-waiting seemed to be holding a smile, stealing a look at Wu Li Mei.
How not, the grand concubine looked disheveled more than usual.
"Emmm...... Yi Dayang." Wu Li Mei scratched her temple, puzzled as to what it should be like.
"Where........ kai.. sar?"
"The emperor has been gone since morning, Your Majesty." replied Dayang Yi.
Wu Li Mei frowned, "Isn't it still morning?"
"The emperor must leave immediately because today there is a meeting in the main hall." explained the lady-in-waiting. "But, the emperor left this for you."
Dayang Yi gave a neatly folded piece of paper to Wu Li Mei, a letter of deposit from Emperor Zhou before leaving a while ago.
The concubine received it quickly, "Go Dayang Yi, prepare me some water to wash the body."
"Okay, Your Majesty."
The piece of paper was opened slowly, the neat inscription in it managed to touch the concubine's heart, in the heart of the woman justifying Emperor Zhou as a highly educated king. Judging from the writing alone has illustrated everything.
Wu Li Mei smiled looking at the beautiful writing, but after reading the contents. The smile immediately faded.
'Thank you'
The concubine flipped through the sheet of paper, there was nothing but the writing inside.
Wu Li Mei squeezed the piece of paper into a ball, then threw it in any direction. What the fuck? The concubine was upset of course. After what he gave last night, all he got was a thank you, a piece of paper.
"I think the emperor wants to play games with me huh."
"Oh, Li Mei, you shouldn't just be lulled into the man's seduction."
"Look now," Wu Li Mei was fond of monologuing, she walked slowly towards the mirror while cursing herself.
Wu Li Mei sighed softly as she looked at the mirror, it was only fitting that the ladies looked at her strangely. "Look now!" point the woman in the mirror.
"You don't change the night woman at the club I remember."
Night club on kenanga street, one of the places Jessy frequented when the woman was thirsty for caresses. Risa had set foot several times in such a cursed place, it was forced to pick up Jessica who was drunk heavily.
There, as the name suggests, a nightclub that presents many beautiful women who are ready to become entertainers. Actually not only women, there are men too, one of which has become a subscription to Jessy.
Each time they passed, on the neck and chest of the women there were a lot of purplish red marks. Just like his current possession, Emperor Zhou was completely insane. What he had to do with all this, put a lot of powder on. It's free, it won't go away in a matter of hours.
"Yah!! Damn that crazy man."
"More times, I have to teach him a little lesson."
"Is this what real men do? Leaving women alone, once used up."
"At least, give me something more valuable than a piece of paper that says thank you."
...****************...
The meeting with the imperial envoys took place in the main hall, the Grand Empress Dowager was also present at the meeting. The envoys lowered their heads as the emperor entered the main hall with Commander Hao, they had already heard news of the emperor and the grand concubine. Judging from the look on his face that was so bright and lively, they believed that the news was true.
Emperor Zhou always displayed an expressionless cold face, his personal rigidness, like a very frozen ice stone. The imperial higher-ups and the others never even found the emperor smiling. Emperor Zhou was iron-talking and was notoriously ruthless and belligerent at exterminating the enemy. This is because it was raised directly from the father, the previous emperor, who made him a trained soldier at a young age. Raised on the battlefield without mercy.
Meetings in the main hall were often gripping because Emperor Zhou always created a frightening atmosphere with all the difficult questions and anger that often came out.
"Is that true?" the Queen Mother asked, the meeting was over and the woman decided to stay longer.
"What do you mean?" Emperor Zhou replied with a question, his eyes busy reading the reports coming into the palace.
"You spend the night with May Mei."
"You've made peace with him?"
Emperor Zhou smiled obliquely, "Are you guys in conflict?"
The Queen Mother sighed, "Yes, but that was."
"Now?"
"Now it's not." replied the Queen Mother, "I heard Mei May fall from the northern lake and lose her memory."
Emperor Zhou was silent and listened.
"I think the crafty concubine really lost her memory." continued the Queen Mother.
"How can you be sure of that." Emperor Zhou rubbed his chin, rolled back the reports of the harvest from the south, the man preferred to look at the mother. After all, of all the people in this palace. The mother is the wisest when discussing.
"This could have been just his ruse, considering he's very cunning." Emperor Zhou was suspicious.
The Queen Mother smiled, "You know you have many eyes and ears in all corners of the palace, including in the grand concubine's pavilion" she said. "Mother has talked to Mei-May several times, and her nature and attitude are really much better."
"Don't he bother you no more?" the Queen Mother asked, "It was you who disturbed her last night."
The Queen Mother chuckled softly, the old woman got up and walked away. "I think you're no longer interested in women" he said on the doorstep, "I'm definitely wrong."
"Don't turn a blind eye to the incident" the Queen Mother said. "We both know who it is."
"And one more." The Queen Mother turned back around before actually stepping away, "Mother can't wait to hear the baby crying in her pavilion grand concubine."
...****************...
"Annual harvest festival?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Zhou Ming Hao fell silent, playing his sword to the right and left. "When?"
"About another month, Your Grace. The emperor had already made an announcement after meeting with the imperial higher-ups."
"Oh, really?" Zhou Ming Hao placed his sword into the sword storage. "Is there a sword show for this time?"
The eunuch's bodyguard the crown prince nodded, "It seems to be there, Your Majesty. The show will be held again in the palace."
The annual harvest festival was held one more month, as the opening event, the emperor would choose the best soldiers to perform the sword show. Before finally doing the motorcade out of the palace.
Although the eastern country had experienced drought and crop failure, but for this time the harvest is quite abundant and the results are good. So, the annual harvest celebration still has to be carried out. As a form of respect to the gods who have given blessings.
"Are you going to infiltrate again, Crown Prince."
Zhou Ming Hao gasped, he immediately turned to the teacher. "Teacher, how are you..."
"I've known you since a young man, Zhou Ming Hao. How can I not tell you apart from that handful of soldiers." replied Master Zhang.
The crown prince lowered his head, "It was just a sword show, harmless teacher."
"The show is harmless." Teacher Zhang confirmed, Ming Hao smiled brightly hearing that. But the teacher's next answer made him moody. "....It would be dangerous if the Empress knew."
"But I promise I won't be found out, Master."
"There is no need to take any risks, Your Majesty." replied Master Zhang, trying to convince his students not to repeat the incident last year. During the harvest celebration, Zhou Ming Hao infiltrated as one of the soldiers. Due to lack of preparation, the crown prince was eventually discovered. He was awarded 100 lashes by Empress Yang Jia Li. But in the end, he only got 25 lashes for Wu Li Mei's influence.
Teacher Zhang drew closer to his disciple, "This time, perhaps Wu Li Mei won't be able to save you anymore."
"Let's go, he didn't save me." Zhou Ming Hao said. "What does she care about me anyway."
"You don't understand, Crown Prince."
"What don't I understand?"
Zhou Ming Hao sighed heavily, all he knew was that Wu Li Mei had never doted on him. No one really loved her, including Empress Yang.
Zhou Ming Hao let out a rough breath, he would not have expected to be born as the crown prince if it had only been an instrument of government like this.
