Back In Time (The Reincarnation of the Cruel Concubine)
Streets
"Your Majesty."
"Yes, Dayang Yi." replied Wu Li Mei.
"What are you doing." asked Dayang Yi, seeing that the lord had prepared with some tools in his hand.
Wu Li Mei smiled brightly, "Did you think?"
"But, which other park will you be working on this time? All the gardens in your pavilion and princess pavilion are already very beautiful. Let the guards take care of it." said Dayang Yi. "I'm afraid you'll get sick if you push yourself too hard."
Wu Li Mei rolled her eyeballs, "You take it easy, instead I will fall ill if I don't do anything."
"But, Your Majesty. You just recovered."
"You're right!" the concubine snapped her finger. "Because I'm recovering, then I need to restore stamina, right." Wu Li Mei clenched her hands into the air.
Wu Li Mei nodded, this body is very lackluster even though it is very beautiful. His endurance was not to be proud of, only a few times had he been so exhausted. This time Wu Li Mei had to increase stamina, he could not continuously lose to the Emperor.
"Other times, I will make him give up first." Wu Li Mei muttered.
The maidservants just kept silent at the strange behavior of the concubine lately, as now, Wu Li Mei was busy talking to herself instead. Some vocabulary that the maids do not know the meaning.
Wu Li Mei had no job here, other than serving Emperor Zhou and taking care of Xiao Ling's medicine. The soul of doctor Risa slowly thrashed asking for busyness, and all she did was gardening and gardening.
Wu Li Mei put down the gardening equipment in her hands. The concubine let out a breath of air, "Then, what can I do? I don't have any activity here. Oho! I miss my little patients and the hustle and bustle of the hospital." she lamented.
"Pass...patient? Mean you?"
"Forget it, Dayang Yi." replied Wu Li Mei, the woman sitting propping up her chin in the courtyard of the grand concubine pavilion.
Dayang Yi and a few other ladies-in-waiting looked at each other, for them, this was indeed the duty of a concubine. Just preening and serving the emperor, but it seems Wu Li Mei wants another job.
Today is the end of the week, the imperial family can go wherever they want. Dayang Yi smiled brightly as an idea swirled in his brain.
"Your Majesty, there's something you can do at the end of the week."
"What?"
Dayang Yi whispered a few sentences in Wu Li Mei's ear, the concubine responded well.
"Is that kind of thing allowed?"
Dayang Yi nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty. Weekends are usually the imperial family can go anywhere."
Wu Li Mei smiled brightly, she got up and memorized the ladies. "I want to go to the..pasar."
...****************...
The market is the right choice, Wu Li Mei can feel the life here. Much more lively and busy than the palace. Many people passed by, selling and buying each other, as well as many hanfu and skewers that were very blinding to the eyes.
"Darang Yi." call Wu Li Mei down. He left without bodyguards and maids, only with Dayang Yi and a little girl named Lu Yan.
Dayang Yi approached, "Yes, Your Majesty."
"You brought me what I asked for?"
Dayang Yi nodded, he handed a small pouch to Wu Li Mei.
"Thank you." said Wu Li Mei, the palace woman received several pieces of coins inserted into the bag. He kept it in his hanfu pocket. This time Wu Li Mei chose a simple orange-colored hanfu, with one crane-shaped skewer of konde.
Wu Li Mei was busy walking around, she picked out some hanfu pieces and a konde skewer for her. The woman also bought a pair of hanfu for Dayang Yi and Lu Yan.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lu Yan unceasingly stared at the blue-colored hanfu Wu Li Mei gave him, Lu Yan came to the palace from a young age, he came from a poor family at the end of an arid southern country. Buying a hanfu, was very unsettled in his mind. But Wu Li Mei gave it willingly.
"Together, Xiao Lu." said Wu Li Mei.
Wu Li Mei was still busy choosing the silk hanfu strands of various motifs.
"Darling Yi?" call Wu Li Mei, "Do I have purple hanfu?" tanyakanya.
Dayang Yi shook his head, "I don't think so, Your Majesty."
"Then, I buy this one." pointed Li Mei at some purple hanfu. The shopkeeper immediately picked up the hanfu that Wu Li Mei had chosen, packed it up then waited for payment.
"Madam, here's our latest collection" points out one of the ladies in a fancy dress with thick makeup. It seemed like he was the owner of the shop, repeatedly he showed some beautiful hanfu to Li Mei.
Wu Li Mei shook her head, "I think it's enough, I've bought a lot today. Next time." refuse it.
"Alright, Mistress. Thank you, have a great trip."
"Thank you." said Wu Li Mei.
Wu Li Mei led the way to leave, his eyes guerrilla looking for something good to buy. He does not have to save money, no, oh, come on, the concubine's treasure will not run out to buy the entire market.
"Your Majesty, do you want to buy a new konde puncture?" haggar Lu Yan's.
The concubine stopped her steps, "Should it?"
"If you want to buy a new konde skewer, this store is the place" said Dayang Yi. "The items they have are of very high quality, Your Majesty."
Wu Li Mei looked at the contents of her pouch, there were still a few pieces left, "Alright then, let's see." the fiery concubine.
The shopkeeper immediately welcomed the arrival of Wu Li Mei, an old man with a long mustache.
"I want to see the jade skewer." he said.
"Alright, this way, ma'am." The man guided Wu Li Mei to take a look at some jade jewelry he had.
A pair of white conde skewers caught Wu Li Mei's attention, a pair of geese at the end flying beautifully. Gives an elegant impression to the wearer.
"Your taste is very good, ma'am." praised the man who owns the shop. "This is the jade pair of swans from the Hansuo Dynasty, just came yesterday, Madam." he explained.
Wu Li Mei nodded, "Isn't this beautiful, Dayang Yi."
Dayang Yi nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty."
"Alright, I took it." said Wu Li Mei, the man smiled brightly and mentioned the price. "Add with that." point the concubine at two simple white skewers.
"Okay, Madam."
The shopkeeper's man called his servant, wrapping Wu Li Mei's conde skewer neatly.
"These two," Wu Li Mei gave the skewer of the white conde to Dayang Yi and Lu Yan. "For you guys."
The two paddles looked at each other, but did not stop accepting it. "Thank you, Your Majesty" said the two.
"Together." reply. "Let's go home, I think it's enough." Wu Li Mei replied.
...****************...
The blue-clothed youth darted, leaping and his kick heavily hit the red-clothed youth. Fresh blood poured out as the young man coughed violently, as a result of the powerful kick earlier.
It's been battered, but the blue-clothed youth hasn't stopped the fight. He again raised his fist to the face of the red-clothed youth who was already shapeless.
The spectators cheered on the side of the field, circularly framing the battle area. This kind of battle was already commonplace, without the knowledge of the guard soldiers. The winner will get the money from betting some of the rich who watched it.
"Your Majesty, how about we just leave" Lu Yan said fearfully.
"Wait a minute, Xiao Lu. Soon the blue young man won." replied Wu Li Mei.
"But this is too dangerous, Your Majesty." Dayang Yi said. He looked to the right and left making sure no one knew them.
Wu Li Mei flicked her hand, "Here you go, Dayang Yi. After all this was only a moment." replied the grand concubine, she stood at the front row to watch.
"Whooooooooooaahh!!!!"
"Ayoo hit it again!!" cheers Wu Li Mei.
The young man in blue clothes took a swipe, a grin printed on his face covered with cloth up to the nose and mouth. The young man ran and jumped, he spun in the air and his feet kicked his opponent's head violently. As his feet landed on the ground, the opponent fell unconscious.
The blue-clothed youth cheered, clenching both of his palms up high. The referee of the fight approached the blue-clothed youth, raising his right hand high. A symbol of victory.
Everyone cheered, calling for the blue-clothed youth. He also proudly circled the arena while removing his face cover. The young man saw one after another there, and was fixated on one point.
Wu Li Mei was fixated, Dayang Yi and Lu Yan covered his mouth.
"Mother.." the young man in blue clothes.
"Ming Hao."
Zhou Ming Hao scratched his neck, wanting to escape even it felt like he could not. He never thought that his mother would catch him fighting.
Wu Li Mei stepped forward, her gaze cold and piercing. Even just walking, he was able to sedate people to be quiet.
"Zhou Ming Hao, you're in trouble." whispered right in the crown prince's ear.
Wu Li Mei looked at the referee, he raised his hand. "Where is this kid's payment? Didn't he win."
"Who are you, madam?"
"I am his mother." Wu Li Mei replied loudly, Zhou Ming Hao looked at him with a look of disbelief. The mother had just admitted it in front of everyone, what a blessing.
The referee immediately gave Wu Li Mei some coins. "only this? Are you kidding me, look at my son getting battered like this." he said not accept. Wu Li Mei framed Zhou Ming Hao's handsome face with his hands.
"But.this is the bet, madam."
"You're crazy, a great fight with a lot of techniques like that just got five?!" Wu Li Mei said, "Add me five more."
"Mom, five is enough." Zhou Ming Hao interceded but Wu Li Mei still insisted.
"Let's add five more!"
"Add five!"
"I'm not leaving if you don't add another five."
"Okay, ma'am, fine." The referee finally gave up. "It! I'll add five more."
Wu Li Mei smiled happily, he randomized the peak of Zhou Ming Hao's head. "Smart kid!"
"Come, you must be hungry." said Wu Li Mei, the woman passed after thanking the referee.
"Where, mom?"
Wu Li Mei stopped, "Of course fill the stomach."
