Back In Time (The Reincarnation of the Cruel Concubine)
It was a busy day
Wu Li Mei poured the herbal medicine into the several cups of dosing he had made, Dayang Yi and Lu Yan, respectively, his loyal servant carried a sizable bag of objects that the concubine would need today.
Wu Li Mei rolled out a mat from pandan leaves, and sat in a circle with the others. He took out small pieces of paper, a notch cup, a notch spoon, and a guidebook.
"What are we gonna do, ma'am?" zhou Fang Yin asked, he sat down with his brother. Suo brothers, still busy arranging herbs on shelves arranged around the store building.
"We're gonna make medicine."
"meaning?" ming Hao's turn asked, "Medicine is like in a palace?"
Ming Hao complained as the younger brother pinched his arm, "Awh, sorry, I forgot."
Wu Li Mei nodded, "Yes, medicine is like in a palace. Because this is a dry herbal remedy, and it must be brewed, so the mother scratches it for a few brews."
Wu Li Mei mixed some dried herbs, the woman painstakingly scratched them inside the cup. The concubine grabbed a piece of paper, put the herbal mixture in it, and folded it neatly. Just like the medicine in the palace.
Wu Li Mei showed the results to her two children. "Like this! It's called medicine, herbs that are used to cure disease."
"I'll help you" said the crown princess, the girl grabbed a paper containing herbs, and folded it just like Wu Li Mei did, "Like this right?" point it at that one.
"Yes, you're very good at my daughter." she said.
Just folding paper like that, Zhou Ming Hao did not want to lose, "Just like that, heh, it looks very easy." he said lightly.
Zhou Fang Yin rolled his eyeballs while sighing tiredly, apparently the annoying nature of the older brother reappeared. Fang Yin handed over a piece of paper that had been filled with herbs by Wu Li Mei. "If it's easy, do it!"
"Oh of course!" Zhou Ming Hao rolled up his hanfunya arm, glancing cynically at the result of the folds of the already numerous paper of the younger brother. "I can make many times more than yours."
"Yes.yeah...yeah."
The crown prince observed a piece of paper in which there was a mixture of dried herbs, such as ginger, turmeric, and some more that he did not know his name.
Zhou Ming Hao covered his nose with one hand, while the other hand was busy folding the paper containing herbs. But it was very difficult, the prince repeatedly clucked when the results of the folds were not as good as the younger brother did.
"Oh, is that easy?!" the Fang Yin Eject.
"It's easy." replied the young man, "I just can't stand the smell of this pungent herb."
"That means it's hard."
"No!" reject Zhou Ming Hao, "I'm not saying it's hard."
"Then? You haven't even finished your medicine paper."
Zhou Fang Yin showed many herbal remedies strung together in a single bind. Each of the bonds consists of five medicinal papers.
Wu Li Mei shook her head, looking at the miraculous behavior of her children. They were very different when they were inside the palace, and when they were outside the palace. Several times, Wu Li Mei saw them arguing and bickering over just a small matter. But it won't be long, just like the other twins, they'll get better and joke again.
Funny indeed, in his old life, Rissa had dreamed of having cute twins. Caring for them from childhood to adulthood, but unfortunately he missed the toddler years of Ming Hao and Fang Yin.
"Awh! Sakittt, sister's mother pulled my hair." Oh Zhou Fang Yin.
It was the screeches of the girl that pulled Wu Li Mei from daydreaming, apparently much that she missed while daydreaming. Look, the two children have even pulled each other's hair, I don't know what they're arguing about this time.
Wu Li Mei pulled Zhou Fang Yin's shoulder closer towards him, protecting the princess from the ginger attack that Zhou Ming Hao had thrown.
"Xiao Ming!! Stop that!!" pekik Wu Li Mei's. "You make that dried ginger splatter on the floor, clean up all this mess, now!"
"But mom, sister started it."
Zhou Fang Yin shook his head, he tightly hugged Wu Li Mei's waist. "No ma'am, I didn't do it."
"Hey! You're the one mocking me."
"Zhou Ming Hao."
"Good ma'am." the crown prince was forced to budge, styling sharply at the giggling Fang Yin in the mother's arms. "Review you!" hisses.
...****************...
"Where did the crown prince go?" empress Yang Jia Li asked, she paid a visit to the prince's pavilion and did not find Zhou Ming Hao.
"I'm sorry, the Starting One." One of the ladies-in-waiting, she was the lady-in-waiting of the crown prince. "His Highness the Crown Prince went to enjoy some leisure time at the end of the week."
"What?"
"Sorry, Which Begins."
"Where did he go?"
The lady-in-waiting shook her head, "I don't know, Your Majesty. The crown prince didn't order anything, he's only gone since the morning blind somewhere."
"Sorry, Your Majesty." the lady looked down in fear, the middle-aged woman did not dare to raise her head.
"Basic useless!"
Yang Jia Li pushed the crown prince's lady-in-waiting shoulder down, he fluttered his hanfu arrogantly and stepped away.
The weekend was indeed a day that was free to go anywhere for the imperial members, but if it went without saying goodbye, Yang Jia Li obviously felt humiliated. Previously, he held complete control over Zhou Ming Hao and Zhou Fang Yin.But as Wu Li Mei began to change, the two children began to get closer to their biological mother. The empress felt threatened, it was possible that Wu Li Mei shifted her to become the queen mother.
"WHAT!!" yang Jia Li snapped at Dayang Yue, "Zhou Fang Yin and Wu Li Mei are not in his pavilion?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Where are they?"
"There were rumors circulating, a lady-in-waiting saw them come out of the palace in simple clothes."
"Damn it!!"
Yang Jia Li squeezed his hanfunya, until his knuckles were printed clearly. With a hunt, the woman walked quickly towards the king's pavilion. He had to report this to Emperor Zhou.
He suspected that the departure of Zhou Ming Hao and Zhou Fang Yin was the work of Wu Li Mei. The snake woman would definitely influence her two children to side in Wu Li Mei's stronghold. This would certainly be very detrimental to Empress Yang's grand plan in mastering the Ming Dynasty Empire in the future.
The empress rubbed her flat stomach, while walking full of emotion, she lamented the departure of the baby. If the child he gave birth to did not die, then without the need to bother like this. Power will be his.
...****************...
Liu Xie Yan, daisy flower from the northern country. She was Emperor Zhou's youngest concubine, still very young, only three years away from Zhou Ming Hao and Zhou Fang Yin.
At the age of eighteen, Liu Xie Yan was already a concubine of the Ming Dynasty Empire. The beautiful girl came from the richest noble family in the north, which is why she was appointed as a concubine at a young age.
"Yan-er, you are so beautiful." praised Emperor Zhou, he again stroked Liu Xie Yan's milk-white face in his lap.
On the one hand he felt funny, seeing the behavior of this little girl who was so shy, but on the other hand, he felt sliced. Every time they saw Xie Yan, who was beset by his twins, their age was very close, making Emperor Zhou still reluctant to touch the girl. If he wanted to, he still had the extremely beautiful Wu Li Mei.
She became one of the pride for Emperor Zhou when he was looking for Wu Li Mei, the youngest daughter of the Hang Empire in the Northern Valley.
When he first saw the princess Wu, at the Hang Dynasty banquet, Emperor Zhou immediately fell in love. But the Emperor was very stiff and reserved, he had only been appointed emperor a week before. There was still a lot for him to reorganize because the Ming Dynasty was hit by a great drought, so at that time he forgot his interest in Wu Li Mei.
Five years later, Emperor Wu of the Hang Dynasty himself came to hand over Wu Li Mei. As a sign of the friendship of the two empires, and Emperor Zhou accepted it. Making Wu Li Mei a great concubine.
But slowly, the love suddenly disappeared because of Wu Li Mei's greedy and coercive nature. Making that love erode becomes hate. His rivalry with Empress Yang, however, further fed up Emperor Zhou with Wu Li Mei's behavior.
Until that day came, the day Emperor Zhou saved Wu Li Mei who was drowned in the lake. His heart suddenly moved to save him.
"Your Majesty." call Liu Xie Yan, the concubine clasped the Emperor's hand hesitantly.
Emperor Zhou turned his head as the delicate voice greeted his ears, long daydreaming Wu Li Mei, the emperor became a little confused. Why did the face on his lap change, "Will this?" ask Emperor Zhou.
"Yes, baby?"
"How come? Didn't you go be--"
"I'm here."
Emperor Zhou smiled faintly, his hands raised rubbing the strands of hair on the woman's face on his lap.
"You are always beautiful." praised Emperor Zhou. "Just like the roses you planted in that lake."
Liu Xie Yan frowned, what rose, he did not feel like planting roses in the lake. "Your Majesty."
Liu Xie Yan squeezed her hanfunya quickly, the young girl was surprised to feel warm around her neck. A small kiss and turned even wilder, Liu Xie Yan bit his lip to hold down the****** that was about to escape.
"Mei-er." raved Emperor Zhou, Liu Xie Yan did not respond due to being immersed in the fog of passion.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
Emperor Zhou turned his head, looking at Empress Yang Jia Li opposite him in a respectful gaze. "Rise."
"What's the queen doing?"
Empress Yang raised her head, glancing sharply at Liu Xie Yan. "I came to say hello, but it seems that my arrival is bothering you, Your Majesty."
"No, me and Mei-----"
"You!!"
Emperor Zhou rounded his eyes, wasn't the one he had kissed Wu Li Mei, why turned into Liu Xie Yan.
"Go back to your pavilion, Consort Liu."
