The Employed Empress

It was breathtaking with it"s beautiful courtyard that was planted with bright red peonies. Inside, antiques that symbolizes the female ruler are all over the place. The most eye catching is the painting of a beautiful pheonix. It"s head pointing towards the heaven, as prideful as ever, and its wings lying down to its sides. Scattered all over the canva.s.s are the colorful peonies, fluttering and circling around the pheonix, adding to it"s might.

Compare to Wei Yi Yi"s palace, The Zhu Yu palace was decorated lavishly. Even from far away, just glacing at it"s gates, you would feel the richness it possessed.

From gold to fine jades, up until to pearls, everything was carefully selected and placed. All of this just to try and make the maiden dwelling inside smile a bit more.

The whole palace itself is the emperor"s token of love for his beloved consort. He personally decreed it"s name to take after his.

Yet, the outstanding scenery was disturbed with loud sound of porcelain breaking.

"You! Repeat what you just said!" Ye Ai Ning flaunted another tea set in a fit of rage.

Everyone in the room dare not raise their head and hold their breath in an attempt to lessen their presence.

The eunuch kneeling at the center is left on it"s own to welcome Consort Ye"s abruptly raising anger.

"Most of the eunuch working under mistress have been demoted and send off to other places by Her majesty, empress Wei."

Consort Ye, after a year inside the palace, have gain countless p.a.w.ns and carefully inserted them to other courtyards as to keep them at bay.

To say that the inner palace is almost at her palms is no exaggeration. No matter what, she could not let them bare the oldest imperial son nor let them gain a stable foot hold.

"Wasn"t that b.i.t.c.h so sick she does not dare summon the concubines for morning greetings? She set this up? And we"re caught ungarded?! That one there actually caught you all ungarded?!So useless! you"re useles! What would I need you all for?!"

Her months of work, puff out like smokes just like that!

Just because she"s the empress! Just because she has the throne! And just because I"m nothing but a consort!

Even though everything belongs to me!

"Mistress, according to the reports, the empress is moving by the emperor"s comman. That is why we did not caught any wind of this." her head handmaid said, in order to save the situation for the servants.

Consort Ye muttered, "The emperor..." then collapsed into a crying heaps on the ground.

Just why is that s.l.u.t so hard to get rid? And now even her man is trying to support that woman? Even though Jaing Yu can"t give her what she wanted, she did her best to enter the palace just to be together.

But Jiang Yu cannot understand her heartaches! He cannot understand her struggles!

The more she think of it, the more she cried. She felt like the world was truely against her from the very beginning.

Thus, when the emperor entered his consort palace, everything is a mess and the woman cried none stop. When he tried to appease her, her cries just interrupted more fiercely. She acted like she wanted to complain but dare not.

Finally, when it was deep into the night and Jiang Yu felt an incoming headache did he gave up on pacifying Ye Ai Ning"s tantrums.

"If you do not want to tell Zhen what"s wrong then don"t expect Zhen to guess!" With an angry remark, he left and decided to sleep somewhere else.

If Wei Yi Yi knew about it, she would definitely open her eyes wide in shock while declaring how her boss was send out of the bed chamber and into the "dog house".

Also, she would need to emphasize that it is not her fault. At all!

In the following days, the whole inner palace breath a sight of relief. Since the eunuch who held power inside their courtyard was sent somewhere else, the concubines were finally able to set up the ones they truely trust and build authority within their domains. Improving their living quality.

With them not worrying too much about someone poisoning their food, they were able to eat a lot more and with their allowances becoming steady they were no longer afraid that the one"s next month won"t be coming and thus started to spend for themselves.

When Wei Yi Yi saw them again in the next morning greeting, she would sight at how they just become so much like a beautiful porcelain doll.

On the other hand, Jiang Yu recieved a written report from Wei Yi Yi regarding the matter. After dealing with the eunuchs, it was boss work to deal with the ministers involved. When she was writing it, she realized that since the body was taught how to write, she could grasp the brush and actually write. These hand have good grip ah!

The emperor was shock that the empress got so bored out of her mind that she played with the eunuchs. The report is detailed but the investigation have too much loop holes so he did not take it seriously. Well, Wei Yi Yi is the empress so she could do what she wanted and they were just servants after all.

As for the ministers involved, he sent someone to investigate. What Wei Yi yi did is not that useless.

Never in his mind would he think that him not reacting to this case would send another bolt of imperial n.o.ble consort Ye"s tantrum on his way. Making his ear suffer a few nights of unending crying and him running out of patience and going to sleep on the "dog house".
