EPISODE 21

That night as Hong Lian said, Prince Ling visited his mother's residence.

"The first prince has arrived!"

Hearing the welcome, the empress immediately rushed towards the phoenix palace hall.

"Greetings mother!"Prince Ling said greeting his beloved mother.

The empress held both shoulders of her son and helped him get up from his position.

"You're on time!, let's have dinner with mom!"The empress said giving a familiar smile.

While heading to the dining table the empress embraces her son's shoulders and sits face to face at the dining table.

Hong Lian and Nu Shen began serving food to the empress and her son.

Prince Ling glanced in the direction

Nu Shen with a probing look.

He suspected Nu Shen how not, a ladyboy had such a beautiful face like a noble princess.

No wonder indeed if Nu Shen was wearing a rather good outfit maybe people would think she was the daughter of a noble family.

After dinner...

The empress sat by the pool accompanied by her son, breathing fresh air to relieve fatigue.

In that silence came the sound of water rushing from the bamboo pipes near them.

The prince who could not help his curiosity asked his mother.

"The woman..."

Prince Ling was about to continue his words but was interrupted directly by the empress.

"That's my personal servant"Short empress' answer.

"I pointed at him directly!"The queen explained.

"Emmm"

"If your own mother chooses her, I can't criticize that servant either!"Thought Prince Ling was staring at his mother.

The prince looked at the empress at a glance.Then lay his head on the empress' thigh.

Seeing his son's behavior, a smile began to decorate the empress' face.He thought in the last life at that time, how empty his life was without the affection of parents.

As she stroked her son's head the empress said "How have you been lately?"Ask the queen with a warm smile.

The prince raised his head directing his gaze towards his mother.

Replying to the queen's smile she replied"Ananda is fine!"

"Mother why would anyone want to harm you?"Ask Prince Ling.

Upon waking up from the lap of his mother the prince then looked at the empress with a probing gaze.

"Right now I have a throne and a high position, making anyone want to bring me down" the empress thought.

"Power, throne, dignity and love"

"It can make people blind, and many of them do everything they can to get it" the empress explained.

The empress looked gently at her son stroking the top of her head.

I don't know since when he had such a strong sense of motherhood.

"If ananda is elected crown prince, ananda will not let anyone harm her mother" the prince said.

The empress smiled bitterly, she knew very well how the competition for the throne.

So loud and cruel.

Many of them sacrificed brotherhood just because of the throne.

A lot of blood just spilled

karna.

I don't know how much they did just because of a throne that couldn't even guarantee survival in the long run.

A moment of peace and misery

lifetime time.

The empress looked back at her son and said, "If you are not chosen to be the candidate of the crown prince, this mother will still be proud of you"

"The throne will only corrupt morals" the queen consort said.

Again the empress stroked the top of the prince's head like pampering a kitten.

"Mother it's getting late let's go back!"The prince's voice drew his mother's hand slowly.

Next day.

Morning sunlight began to slip from the window of the empress' room.He grabbed her by the bed that enveloped her from the morning sun.

"Good morning Your Majesty" Hong Lian, Min Ru and Nu Shen said in unison.

The empress came down from her bed stretching her thin body.

Then let his servants change his clothes.

"Let me paint your eyebrows Your Majesty!"Min Ru Sahut.

The empress looked at Min Ru at a glance then smiled bitterly at her.

"No need, today I have no need outside so why decorate myself?"Ask the empress to justify her sleeve.

Hearing that Min Ru just nodded her head without saying anything more.

Then a little stealing glances towards the empress saw her usual facial expression.

"Your Majesty, high concubine Ning is waiting for you in the palace hall!"Hong Lian helped her empress get up from her seat.

Turning her body the empress glanced at Nu Shen.

And gave him an eye gesture.

"His Majesty the empress has arrived!"

High concubine Ning who heard the welcome then got up from her seat, to welcome the arrival of the empress.He slightly bowed his body as the empress walked past him.

"Wake up!"Decide on the empress.

High concubine Ning simply nodded her head, and got up from her seat.

The empress swung her palm to the side hinting high concubine Ning to sit by her side.

"Did concubine Yun make things difficult for you?"Ask the empress to offer a cup of tea to concubine Ning.

High concubine Ning shifted the teacup the empress thrust closer towards her.

"No Your Majesty, he was just being cold to the servant" Ning's concubine's answer.

Sure enough,, ever since then the concubine of honor Yun did not attack anymore.

Yet her gaze towards Ning's high concubine seemed to remind herself to shut up or,,,,, you'd die.

In Ning's high concubine's mind, she was still scared yet powerless to show her fear.

Remembering now the empress

it's on his side.

One of the top 3 most honored.

The daughter of the flower goddess, the queen.

Shortly thereafter.....

The empress took a sip of her tea, after which placed her teacup on the table.

"You should just pretend to side with honorary concubine Yun and watch over her for me!"The queen explained.

The empress crossed her legs.pumped her head with her left hand which she held up on the table.She sighed softly then she looked at her high concubine Ning who was in front of her.

"Your Majesty!"Reply high concubine Ning got up from her seat.

"Hamba's permission to resign" continued Ning's high concubine bowing her body.

High concubine Ning walked to get out of the hall of the phoenix palace.

While the empress let out a long sigh looking at the back of Ning's high concubine who was getting further away from her sight.

With her sharp gaze the cynical smile of the empress began to be engraved on her tiny lips making the ladies who were there goosebumps made her.

"Yun Fei this is your turn!"Murmured the empress.

"It's time you got surrounded

the same fear I used to feel because of you!"Thought empress.

"It's your turn!"

SERIATE.....
