Poor Girl Becomes Empress

Chapter 5: Finding Diamonds in the Mud

Wei sat in front of a large oblong mirror. On the wooden edge of the mirror there is a chrysanthemum flower carving. Looks like chrysanthemum flowers are a hallmark of the empress's residence. Ever since Wei set foot in the empress' residence, she was treated to chrysanthemum carvings that were everywhere.

Two servants were now cleaning Wei's face with beauty potions. I don't know what the name is, which is certain that Wei is currently feeling a cold sensation on her face. It was as if his face was being crushed by a snow lump.

"This is a beauty potion specially made for the empress. Every week the chosen merchants would come to the palace to deliver these beauty potions. They said if this beauty potion can make the face become more fresh and perfectly clean. They also said that this beauty potion was made with the main ingredient, mint leaves." explains Kilin, looking at Wei's face from the mirror.

His dirty face was clean after he took a shower. To their surprise and each said in their hearts 'It turns out this girl is not ugly'.

"You guys wear it too, I don't want to enjoy this alone." Wei's remark just left them all shocked. Then the servants immediately prostrated themselves on the floor and Kilin knelt down. This made Wei confused. He felt that no one made a mistake, then why did they all prostrate?

"We don't deserve to wear what a future empress wears! Please forgive us, empress-to-be!"

"Please forgive us..."

"Ah, so that's the problem? I just want you to feel what I'm wearing. Did you forget where I came from? If only I felt it, it was truly unfair." the soft voice seemed to bewitch the hearts of all the women prostrating on the floor.

They all began to compare Wei's attitude to the noble princesses. They were never treated that softly. Although Wei was the child of a poor slave, the girl should have enjoyed the new luxury she felt. Why did the girl choose to share? Is that as gentle as the heart of the prospective empress they will take care of this?

"Is the palace so scary that you always bow down on the floor without making a mistake?" Wei helped his servants to stand up. Although they were shocked but no one dared to refute.

Wei was waiting for an answer from everyone in front of her, but no one dared to open their voices. Wei who understood that only smiled. Yes, it seems like the palace is indeed scary. From now on he had to be careful not to make fatal mistakes.

Wei took out a bowl containing a beauty potion, then she applied the potion to Kilin's face. "Don't refuse" said Wei, not to be denied.

The half-old woman began to close her eyes as a cool sensation massaged her face. The skin of his once very rough face became tight and smooth. 'So great is this beauty potion?' his inner.

After finishing applying the beauty potion to Kilin, Wei smiled with satisfaction. "Didn't this beauty concoction make facial skin comfortable?"

"It's safe, the empress candidate" said Kilin immediately made him stutter instantly. He then lowered his head. "Pardon the presumptuousness of the servant, the future empress." The girl did not respond and just laughed a little.

"You all wear this beauty potion. I'm sorry I can't put them on one by one." Wei gave the beauty potion to the waiter who had applied the potion to her face.

"Thank you for the generosity of the future empress!"

Wei smiled as she walked towards the bed. He sat there watching the servants put beauty potions on their faces. His heart warmed, feeling happy for successfully making the people around him happy.

Surprisingly Wei did not feel hers was taken. Seeing the laughter of the servants while wearing the beauty potion made Wei want to do even more. If he could every day he would make his servants happy like this.

"What time is it, ladyboy?" wei asked as Kilin was already in front of her.

"Can I go to the pavilion? Since then I want to enjoy the beauty of the empress' residence."

"Of course you can, empress candidate. The servant will prepare the clothes of the future empress first. Outside of the cold, the empress should wear thicker clothes."

***

Wei wears a purple plain dress with a thick white long jacket. He was now walking on the bridge to head for the pavilion. It is true that if the air is very cold, from earlier he continued to tighten the jacket on his body.

In front of him was Kilin who was walking while carrying a lantern, while behind him were 25 servants who followed him.

Wei's eyes were completely pampered as he looked around. The artificial lake was like a real lake with many lotus flowers on its water surface. Wei also just knew that at night in this artificial lake will be given a lamp. It makes it easy to see what is in the water. The sky tonight is also friendly. The stars filled the sky with a perfectly round moon that shone brightest.

They are now in a round-shaped pavilion with many chrysanthemum carvings. On the floor of the pavilion was painted a large chrysanthemum flower. Climbing to the 1st floor, Wei was suguhi with many small tables for one person who were all white in color. He also noticed there was a device for embroidering near the stairs. Climbing to the 2nd floor, Wei was treated to a multitude of colorful musical instruments. Rising to level 3, the top floor, Wei is treated to a painting tool. On the wall there are also many paintings.

"This pavilion is really very beautiful." praise Wei who this time walked to the 3rd floor dividing wall to enjoy the beauty of the empress' residence.

From the third floor, there are various beauties in the empress' residence. Each on the roof there is a picture of chrysanthemum flowers as well as small lights that illuminate around it. He also saw a chrysanthemum tree that was given a lamp. It is a beautiful sight and also pampering the eyes.

"I think you escaped secretly." cried Fengying who had just arrived on the 3rd floor.

Wei jumped in shock and immediately bowed her body followed by Kilin. "We salute the emperor."

Fengying cleared her throat, then walked up to Wei. He was a little stunned to see Wei's facial beauty. He found diamonds in the mud.

"Leave the two of us," Fengying's orders directly executed Kilin.

After Kilin died, Fengying sat Wei in a chair. There is only one chair and table because the floor is special for painting only.

Wei felt bad when she had to sit on the chair while Fengying was now sitting on the table, right in front of her.

"Hamba is very presumptuous to sit on this chair, emperor. Let the servant kneel on the floor to salute the emperor." Wei was about to stand up, but Fengying directly held him back. Her soft eyes looked at Wei inside, making the girl immediately lower her head.

"When I look at you, it's like I'm finding a diamond in the mud. You are very valuable, Wei." Fengying said gently as she slipped the youngster into Wei's earlobe.

Wei's heart was beating rapidly, both of her cheeks were met with red. Her current feelings were mixed up what else as Fengying said her name gently.
