REINCARNATION THIS TIME, THE EVIL EMPRESS WANTS TO BECOME A BUSINESSMAN

TWENTY

The emperor began to recall the words of his two sons and the empress and was informed to the court advisor.

The palace advisor nodded in understanding. "Your Majesty, young people definitely need the figure of a parent who accompanies. But the case of you and the Empress is very special when viewed from the position, so we cannot blame you and the Empress. But the children will not understand."

The emperor was impatient. "Don't convolve. Just tell me what that means."

The palace adviser cleared his throat then began to explain. "Your Majesty, it's very likely that princess Selena wants your presence at her birthday party, as well as the Crown Prince and Empress."

"But the three of them look angry and can't wait to throw me out."

"Do you not know the Empress who always acts impulsive and sometimes sulking?"

The emperor understood. "They're tsundere?"

The palace's advisors became confused. "Yes?"

"Oh, it turns out the three of them are indeed tsundere. Okay, I get it. I will face them well and present to Selena's simple birthday party. Ah, don't tell the outside first about this - I also don't know if they still accept me or not."

After saying that, the emperor went back inside the kitchen.

People were confused by the emperor's unexpected reaction.

The emperor's secretary became confused and asked the palace's adviser. "Counselor, what should we do now?"

The palace adviser sighed. "Did you like to see the emperor with the queen and the concubines or with the empress?"

The emperor's secretary answered honestly. "Although the Empress looked foolish, yet she did not look greedy and only wanted the Emperor's treasure. The Queen's feelings are purely out of love, in contrast to the queen and the concubines who seem to have motive."

The palace advisor nodded. "Well, that way you know what we have to do now and in the future, right?"

Both the eyes of the emperor's secretary sparkled.

The princess Cassia's birthday party was held in the ballroom of the imperial palace and made as extravagant as possible to show her status as a princess.

Outside the palace, a wide variety of the capital's signature food and other famous foods are on display to be distributed to the people for free.

Cassia, who was about to enter the room with the emperor to show off her usual good relationship, panicked. "Where's Emperor? Why didn't the Emperor appear at all?"

"Daughter, we've been to the Emperor's palace. But the guards didn't let us in at all."

The Cassia maids were also getting more anxious, the time for Cassia to enter the ballroom was getting closer.

Cassia was not allowed to wear the crown because she was not the empress' child so another alternative to wearing fancy dresses and expensive jewelry was the presence of the emperor as a companion.

That's the best crown Cassia can get. Even Selena could never get it.

Cassia was about to leave her room.

"Cassia, why are you still here?" Ask the queen who went into Cassia's kaar. "The guests have been waiting a long time."

"Your Majesty the Queen, have you not seen His Majesty the Emperor? She should have come to the party with me as a companion."

The Queen was surprised by Cassia's question. "The emperor hasn't come yet?"

"Yes, we can't even get inside the Emperor's palace because it's blocked."

"YOUR MAJESTY! LT'S NAUGHTY!"

The waiter who shouted and entered without knocking, suddenly kept silent when he saw the queen.

"What's wrong? Did you find the Emperor?" Cassia asked with a worried tone.

"In the garden, everyone can see from the window of the ball room." The butler's bell.

"Speak clearly!" Jerky queen.

The waiter looked down in fear and started talking. "The invited guests saw the emperor, the empress, the crown prince and princess Selena were in the garden."

Cassia stood up from the chair then rushed towards the ballroom of the imperial palace.

"What'sthis? The park?" Selena did not understand. "Do you know if there are caterpillars or insects in the garden? What if they fly into the food and we don't know it?"

Selena nagged incessantly as soon as the emperor invited the three of them to throw a party in the park with strict escort.

Aelia remembered Selena's nagging exactly with the rich Indonesian mothers who were afraid of her dirty son eating snacks on the side of the road.

Aelia and Aether simply quietly observed the behavior of the emperor in honor of Selena's birthday and the emperor who acted as a good father.

There is a round table in the middle of the garden surrounded by Adelia flowers. Hm? The adelia?

Aelia did not pay much attention to the palace garden because as a child she had been bitten by insects to itch.

Aelia asked Aether. "Aren't Adelia flowers hard to find? Why are there so many Adelia flowers in the garden? No, it looks like the whole garden contains Adelia's flowers."

Aether replied with a cold smile. "Me and Selena who take care of this garden, this garden used to contain red thorny roses. Everyone related it to the mother who likes to spend a lot of money, even though the mother gave everything to the people who care for the park."

Aelia remembered that part. "Right, I think the more expensive the flower prices of the nobles who stopped by would admire it and appreciate the flower."

But unfortunately the nobles thought otherwise, they thought Aelia was wasting money to attract the emperor's attention. That's why Aether and Selena secretly agreed to replace all flowers in the park using private funds.

The empress was too busy with chasing after the emperor while the emperor was too busy taking care of the matters of the country, after all their parents did not care about the matter of the garden so they could change flowers easily.

"What does the name Adelia flower mean?" Aelia asked as she embraced her son's hand.

"Adelia is named after the ancient Adelaide nobility. Adelia is free-spirited and easily adapts to the new atmosphere, similar to the positive nature of motherhood." Answer Aether calmly.

Aelia was surprised then laughed awkwardly. "Mom didn't think his name meant that. Well, whereas the Adelia flower is not very popular and good in the eyes of others."

"The flower was taken from the mother's name."

"Yes?" Aelia asked who was afraid that her hearing was wrong.

"The nature of the Adelia flower is similar to the mother so we agreed to take the flower, then there is a Dandelion flower in the garden which means brave. When the Dandelion flower comes off the stem, it signifies that he dares to face obstacles in a new environment.

"Adelia, if removed d, would be Aelia, the same as the mother's name, right?" Aether explains at length.

Aelia did not expect her two children to do such a thing. "Don't you two hate mom? I've been abandoning you all this time."

Aether and Selena since childhood do not really understand the actions of their mother who does not care about the existence of her children, even though they are both fruits of love with the man the empress loves. However, as time went on - they were both grateful to have a mother like Aelia rather than the queen and the concubines.
