The Employed Empress

She was bored beyond belief.

Wei Yi Yi crossed her arms, tap her feet, and narrowed her eyes in the direction of Jiang Liu.

He was removing his boots and folding his sleeves.

Wei Yi Yi got irritated by just looking at him.

A while before, she was tracking preys and found a small rabbit. Seeing it unaware of them, she intends to follow it back to its nest to mark it.

But then Jiang Liu just had to make a whole deal out of it.

"So you are really joining the hunt?! You"re actually going to kill it tomorrow?! Don"t you see how small, adorable, and defenseless the small thing?!"

Unlike other people who grew up in a peaceful world without seeing blood, Wei Yi Yi has no qualms with hunting and has learned it. In fact, she can also process live prey and cook it without flinching.

It was because her brothers insist that camping is not real if you don"t hunt the food.

"Just so you know, this bro even got hunting license!"

Jiang Liu was not contented with just startling the rabbit away, he even shouted in her face that, "If you really want to hunt, you should target the crocodiles or the ugly snakes, or anything but the cute little things! With you like this, you"re bullying the weak!"

This brat wanted an accident is he not?! If there is really a crocodile-infested lake here, she"ll be sure to run first, alright?! Don"t even think of hunting them.

Jiang Liu insisted on this again and again until Wei Yi Yi was so close on pus.h.i.+ng him to the deer they saw.

"I hope you get stabbed by its horns so you"ll see how cute they are!"

Having enough of it, Wei Yi Yi changed plan to tracking other hunters instead. She"d like to try her luck on hunting that Si Song look-like.

But Jiang Liu blocked her way the moment he got wind of her plan.

"No, big sister. Human will taint you. Seeing our furry friends shall cleanse you so let"s look for them more," he said as he dragged her away from human territory and deep into the wildlife to be hunted by the animals instead.

"Jiang Liu what the h.e.l.l is wrong with you!" she protested but to no avail.

And so here they are, with nothing to do and Jiang Liu splas.h.i.+ng here and there.

Wei Yi Yi noticed him picking a random long branch. He then sharpens its end with the small knife he was hiding on his robe.

After he was satisfied with his work, he observed the water seriously before stabbing it.

"Hey! He"s fis.h.i.+ng?! You"re actually fis.h.i.+ng! And you"re so against with me hunting just now!"

By this moment, Wei Yi Yi reached her fuming state.

Doesn"t Jiang Liu know that it"s dangerous to make one bored? Looked at the concubines of the inner palace! They are so bored to the point they"ll make a scene every day just to past time!

Suddenly, Wei Yi Yi view darkens. When she s.h.i.+fted her gaze upwards, there"s a parasol shading her from the glare of the sun. Jiang Liu maidservant was holding it for her.

They actually brought an umbrella! Do they think we"re on a picnic?! I don"t know if I should laugh or cry. What is this strong sense of defeat?!

"Is there something wrong, your majesty?" The one holding the parasol asked with panic.

The Empress kept staring at the parasol with utter devastation! What to do?!

"Is her majesty displeased?" The other mirrored her sister and crunched her brows in nervousness.

Both biting their lips and anxiety written on their face, the two said in sync, "We asked for forgiveness for acting on impulse!"

Wei Yi Yi"s heart went thump thump at the scene in front of her.

This is...

Cuteness overload! Jiang Liu, you"re hiding such charming maidservants!

"What are you apologizing for? Don"t be nervous, I don"t bite." Blinking her delighted eyes, Wei Yi Yi projects the brightest smile she could.

Seeing the "I"m-harmless" look that the empress is giving towards the two, Tang Mei shake her head.

"Are you really twins? No, wait. Obviously, looking closely, the two of you are actually identical. What are your names?"

"Answering her majesty, this humble servant is called Bia Huo."

The one with a livelier aura said first. Her bangs is parted at middle and her hair comb up into a pair of buns on her head.

Bia Huo was the servant who spoke up to protect her master when Wen Yang servants blocked Jiang Liu"s path.

"And this one is called Bai s.h.i.+u."

The one with twin braided buns and full bangs followed up after her sister. She appears meeker compare to her sister.

Bai s.h.i.+u was the servant who followed Jiang Liu"s command and tried to fell on Wen Yang but failed.

"Forgive this servant for not properly introducing herself earlier to the empress," the two curtsies at the same time.

"No need to kept apologizing." Wei Yi Yi caught each of their arms to stop them. "The fault lies on your useless master that didn"t even bother to initiate the introduction between."

"Empress, please do not think poorly of his highness," Bia Huo said.

"It was really this servant that"s careless," Bia Shui also said.

Lucky b.a.s.t.a.r.d is being protected by a pair of cute maids! And to think that I"m starting to doubt that he dislikes girls. Now it seems not the case.

Wei Yi Yi was about to reply when a black object appears on her peripheral vision.

As the empress turn her gaze, so does the three maidservants.

At the edge of the parasol, a large spider in the size of a child"s fist hangs by its web. It"s eight creepy legs is spread open and for a moment, they felt an ominous aura.

"It"s staring at them, right? It"s definitely staring!"

"No!"

Bia Huo flung the parasol away from them. Just from the moment she shook the parasol with strength, the web of the spider snapped right away. The insect fell only a few inches across from them while the parasol hit a rock then bounce farther away.

"Please go away!" Bia Shui requested from the spider.

Tang Mei protectively extend her arms in front of Wei Yi Yi. "Move in a safe distance, empress. We do not know if it is venomous."

"Calm down." Wei Yi Yi tapped Tang Mei"s shoulder a.s.suringly. "It"ll go away on its own---"

Looking at the spider, everyone"s breath hitched. Even the empress gulped in fright.

The spider, to their utter horror, started giving birth! Or rather, those little crawlings have been on her body ever since, aren"t they?!!!!

The little dots of satan incarnated started crawling in all direction. Spreading around at a fast rate while their heart is in the middle of experiencing a heart attack.

Now it looks like there is a ma.s.sive black mist on the ground where their feet stood.

Everyone jumped above high rocks.

"Jiang Liu! I don"t care how you do it but get me a bug spray! Like, right now!!!"

Wei Yi Yi who does not have any fear when camping suddenly have one fear.

Get mother nature on the phone! We need to have a serious talk!!
