REINCARNATION THIS TIME, THE EVIL EMPRESS WANTS TO BECOME A BUSINESSMAN
NINETEEN
Selena and Aether stared in amazement at the emperor's hand that was wiggling the pan on the stone stove.
Aelia could not close her mouth because she smelled food.
After his injured hand was well overcome, the emperor took over to cook.
The emperor again added spices to the food he cooked. "Selena, feel it. Is this food right?"
Selena pointed at herself confused. "Me?"
"Yes, you. Who else is Selena here?" Ask Emperor.
Selena advanced and stood beside the emperor.
Aelia frowned at once confused by all the actions of the emperor just now. "Don't you ever cook?" Ask who voices the mind.
The Emperor turned his gaze to Aelia. "Can an Emperor not cook?"
That's not what Aelia meant.
Selena's eyes sparkled as she tasted the emperor's cooking and turned to Aether.
Aether looked at Selena with a questioning look. "How's it?"
"It feels so good." Selena replied in amazement.
The Emperor smiled with satisfaction and then turned off the stone stove by covering the fire using which stone had been changed as a fireproof plug and deadly fire.
The emperor saw the table of Aelia's already clean passage. "Has the cake cooking finished?"
Aelia shook her head. "No, we're still putting it in the oven and tomorrow it'll be set to make a birthday cake."
The Emperor, Selena and Aether fell silent upon hearing the birthday cake.
Aelia who was aware of the sudden change in atmosphere, asked. "What's wrong?"
Not long after, Aelia realized her mistake. Birthday cakes only exist in the modern world, in the present when celebrating birthdays only make delicious food and then light fireworks for rich people. "I... L'm... I think using cakes that are sold is better and more frugal."
Aelia cursed at her stupidity while looking for an excuse. Efficient? The birthday is the emperor's daughter born from the empress' womb while the other emperor's daughter from the concubine celebrates the birthday party by treating the people.
Selena pouts. "I don't like fireworks, it can hurt a bird that's flying."
The feeling of Selena is very subtle when it comes to animals.
Aether gave me advice. "Eating three will not be a problem on your birthday, Selena. Me, you and mom."
Aelia nodded in spirit. "We're celebrating at the mother's palace, away from the crowds."
The emperor who was moving food, frowned in surprise. "Why am I not on the invitation?"
Aether stared coldly at the emperor. "Aren't you going to attend Cassia's party as usual?"
The emperor could not answer. Previously he had no intention of attending anyone's party because he preferred to spend time working, but somehow the queen and concubine could invite the nobles he needed to attend Cassia's party.
Of course as an emperor, he should not miss that. However, she herself forgot that her daughter from the empress also celebrated her birthday on the same date.
The Emperor could not be at ease as Aether and Selena would never believe any reason, nor did Aelia seem to be interested in the reason to be given.
Aelia turned her eyes away from the emperor. Because it has already made a cake, inevitably must be made for Selena's birthday. "Mom also made a cake for the birthday."
Selena frowned. "What time is it? I was asleep at the time."
The emperor wanted to say something, Aether predates. "Dad, it doesn't matter if you can't attend Selena's birthday party. There's a mother accompanying."
The Emperor sighed, his chest tightening when he heard Aether's words.
Aelia also had no intention of mending her relationship with the emperor. "Your Majesty, if you're done, please come back and treat your hand. We don't want to be subjected to the wrath of the queen and the concubines guarding the Emperor like a prized possession."
The emperor was surprised by the sarcastic words that the empress uttered. In the past the empress always spoke softly and tried to seduce him, or be jealous if there was a woman who approached. But now even trying to expel himself with sarcastic sentences?
Aether and Selena are shocked by Aelia's actions.
Selena rushed to hug Aelia's hand with a sad look on her face. "Mother"
Aelia patted Selena's head fondly.
Aether does the same thing on the other side.
The emperor became upset and then came out of the kitchen.
Selena and Aether quietly stared at each other behind their mother then smiled cunningly. There is no apology for the man in the basket who has many wives and many children.
But their hopes collapsed when the emperor returned with a radiant face and looked shameless a few minutes later.
"Is anyone missing?" Aelia asked confusedly.
With a radiant face, the Emperor spoke to his wife and two children. "Dad talked to the palace counselors and they said that I was too insensitive and it looks like the three of you want to have my presence on Selena's birthday.
Aelia, Selena and Aether frowned and stared at the emperor's disdain together.
"It's okay, I've decided to go to Selena's birthday party."
Aelia, Selena and Aether did not know what to comment on.
A few minutes earlier, the emperor exited the kitchen with a black aura around him.
The palace advisor who had just arrived to report automatically became tense as well as curious. "Your Majesty, are you fighting again with the Empress?"
It was common knowledge that the empress was chasing after the emperor while being chased was so upset that it ended in a heated debate.
The empress would never regret her actions while the emperor grew angry and vented with another woman to keep the empress away.
The emperor sighed. "Selena doesn't want me to go to her birthday. Aelia and Aether even kicked me out."
The palace advisers and the people standing guard outside the room were shocked by the emperor's words.
The emperor's secretary asked in a cautious tone. "I've never heard of Selena's daughter throwing a birthday party, would she throw a party secretly using the Birendra family property?"
The emperor's secretary naturally thought that way because Selena's daughter's men did not provide documents to file for the birthday party, the most logical was to wear the property of her grandfather's prime minister's family. Duke Birendra's.
Emperor shakes. "Duke is currently in financial trouble due to the losses incurred by duke Aruna. You mustn't forget to have duke Aruna return the compensation immediately, I don't want to see Aether's disappointed face."
The people around the emperor were again surprised by his words.
Has the emperor changed?
The palace adviser who was middle-aged and had been eating the salt acid of life for decades, asked cautiously. "If you may know, what did the Empress, the Prince and the Princess say when they kicked you out, Your Majesty?"
