The Employed Empress

Two rows of multiple well-trained servants follow at the back. They walk just a pace slower than their mistress. And while their gaze remained to the ground as proof of their servility, their straight back and posture reflect their high ranks.

And to her side, another servant, who"s adorned enough to be mistaken as a young miss, is holding an umbrella over her head.

The whole entourage screams "royalty" right at Wei Yi Yi"s face. It as if the woman was afraid that people wouldn"t recognize her status.

Wei Yi Yi gape at the stunning lady who walked in as if she owns the place. From the start, she was not able to tear her gaze away.

"Wow," Wei Yi Yi took a deep breath. "Look at that, Ah Mei. She looks so beautiful, she could sell me anything--- scam me even--- and I still would buy."

If only she was not self-aware, Wei Yi Yi would mistake this woman as the empress instead.

See her?! That"s the real deal! A woman born in the ancient era and trained in accordance with their culture! Straight out of a historical drama!

Tang Mei felt a headache coming.

My ladys.h.i.+p, what are you being amazed for? That kind of dignified bearing was nothing compared to that of an empress! Among any woman, who could be n.o.bler than you?

This... This kind of display of influence... it should have been normal for you!

Sadly, Wei Yi Yi"s definition of normal has always been contradictory to others.

"Ah Mei are you listening to me?" Wei Yi Yi whispered. She even added an action to it and lightly slapped Tang Mei"s hand multiple times to get her attention.

"Empress, please keep in mind that she is your second sister-in-law," Tang Mei said helplessly. "So... Whatever it is that her majesty wanted to do, this servant advice against making a move toward Cheng w.a.n.gfei."

"Ah?"

Wei Yi Yi took a double take.

That"s Wen Yang?!

Holy fondue Jiang Liu, I might really choke you one of these days! She could have walk pa.s.s me and I wouldn"t know! All because of your hideous drawings! Which part of Wen s.h.i.+ is plain? Just her aura alone is enough to make one remember her for a lifetime.

Forget about capturing any essence of Wen Yang, Jiang Liu"s portrait didn"t do any justice at all to her beauty!

Thinking further into it, wouldn"t she end up stirring multiple cases of mistaken ident.i.ty later on?!

While Wei Yi Yi was busy forming her complaints about Jiang Liu, Wen Yang stood lofty at the door. A servant from her side then announced her arrival in a very loud and domineering voice.

In a beat, the steward from before opens the door and invited the w.a.n.gfei in.

Wen Yang didn"t offer any recognition to the steward and acted like he was air. Lifting the hem of her skirt, a delicately embroidered shoes alluringly fitted her small foot.

Afraid that she might develop a foot fetish, Wei Yi Yi cough away the thoughts forming in her head then turned her gaze upward.

Once she looked up, her gaze lock on Wen Yang"s appealing melons.

No. It"s probably watermelons.

Lavish nutrition indeed gives an abundant result, huh.

Wei Yi Yi then noticed, that in every step she took, they...

"Tang Mei," Wei Yi Yi finally snapped awake and turn her gaze away from Wen Yang.

"What is it, your majesty?"

Mustering the most serious face she could express, Wei Yi Yi look at Tang Mei while she slowly gathered her hands under her bosom. Then, like she was tapping them from below, she said, "They goes, boing! Boing!"

"..."

"..."

"... Wh-what?"

"I said, Wen s.h.i.+"s boo---"

"Ah! Ah! Ah!" Tang Mei interrupted no matter how rude that might be. The servant blush so hard, it"s like she"ll bleed anytime.

As if she didn"t know she was being inappropriate, Wei Yi Yi pulled on her collar and stare down. "I wish mind jingles too."

Hers are just as small as mandarins though.

Tang Mei, "..."

"Take it as this servant is begging the empress," Tang Mei said slowly, then almost explode on the second half. "Do not! As in never! Ever say or do that in front of others!"

"Oh! Oh! Cheng w.a.n.gfei walked inside!" Wei Yi Yi already returns her attention to Wen Yang. "Come on, Tang Mei, let"s look for a hole to peak on."

"Is her majesty not listening to me?!"

"Don"t be too loud. Hey, if it seems like the two will be having a quality time, let"s just ditch Jiang Liu."

"Empress!"

"Where might be Liu w.a.n.g be going?" Wen Yang said dryly as she sips her tea. She didn"t forget to sweep a gaze towards Jiang Liu from his head to his toe.

Jiang Liu lips twitched uncontrollably seeing the usual condemning gleam on Wen Yang"s eyes.

"Of course, to the forest to scout. Where else could Benw.a.n.g go in this hunt?" Jiang Liu"s tone was laced with sarcasm but Wen Yang only replied with a disinterested tone.

"Oh," she said, irritating Jiang Liu further.

"That is why, this brother must first apologize to second Imperial Sister-in-law. This prince will be going out now and would not be able to properly host you. Please, Cheng w.a.n.gfei, state the intention of your visit immediately."
