The Empress want them to copy Buddism scriptures? Isn"t that too early? They"re his consorts, not his widows!Might as well send them to a temple to reflect.
Before Jiang Yu could question her decision or Ye Ai Ning could cry out her complaints; Wei Yi Yi turns to blink multiple times at her boss.
Her eyes expectant and an innocent smile hung on her lips. Like a child asking for approval, waiting for praise.
"Not too harsh, right? right?"
A mother of a nation, trying her best to be a "wife" for him. Jiang Yu wavers. He does not have the heart to deny her of her things. Thinking over, it might not be that bad for Ye Ai Ning. Maybe it is indeed time for her to reflect.
All stiff. He returned the smile while also consoling himself. This is for the good of the harem.
"Nice work."
Wei Yi Yi"s eyes.h.i.+ne. Giving herself a victory pose in her mind, she allows herself to show a generous smile. Even flas.h.i.+ng her white teeth in the process.
It was different from the rigid expression she usually shows to the emperor. Most of the time she would avert her gaze and give tense smile that won"t reach her eyes.
Jiang Yu allowed himself to stare longer and relax.
But Wei Yi Yi is a cheap person, she immediately returned to her "work" att.i.tude. Once again, she gave all the concubine a final look.
It was this moment that Su Mei Fan back her up. "Your majesty is magnanimous and wise. We will reflect greatly and use this chance to create bonds with each other." Saying it this way, the other three could only accept the result. "Mei Fan will take care and help Emperial n.o.ble consort Ye with my utmost ability."
Presented with a good chance, Shen Nian Zhen quickly followed up on agreeing. "Then, this sister will be responsible to look after sister Feng."
As a closing speech, Wei Yi Yi gives a few pretty but empty words. She then sent someone to oversee their punishment before "excusing" herself. Jiang Yu also took this chance to return to his study.
The Empress "generously" offer to walk the emperor out. Both of them flee the scene.
Somehow, he felt so tired like he came out of a morning court. This ladies could hold a candle against his ministers. They"re definitely their father"s daughters!
Stealing a few glances from his empress whose taking slow steps, Jiang Yu came to a decision.
Wei Yi Yi walked with him until the emperial lake, and then returned to her palace. Those ladies probably went back to their own home too by now.
Before separating, she reaches out to Xiao Lin Xi and whispered, "Executive Secretary Lin, you have all the respect I could summon."
It left the eunuch in confusion.
Today is a hard lesson. It truly exhausted all her energy, skills and ability.
Why is that a "boss" always need to cater to everyone"s need? Oh yeah, their livelihoods are at his hand and he"s the so-called "responsible" one.
She could only sigh.
"I don"t wanna do it anymore!"
Wei Yi Yi shouts at her boss in her dreams.
Anyway, no more presentations in front of the boss and no more meetings with the boss! It"s so hard to do work in front of him.
From now on, it"s action then report! No live presentation! Anyway, all of them is under her department. Once done, they can"t complain, hohohoho.
If she really can"t handle it, she"ll leave it. Worse come to worse, she"ll be fired--- wait, what does the contract says on being dismissed? Can"t she send a letter of resignation? Is there any clause on force termination?!
"Your majesty?" Tang Mei worried when the empress entered a trance once again. "Empress don"t do that outside!"
Wei Yi Yi was mercilessly shaken until she turns silly. Tang Mei is still the most incredible, ah.
Back at Xian Feng Palace, Jiang Chen sat at a high stone in their garden, swinging his foot in the air.
From his position, he easily spots his aunt walking towards the main entrance. "Auntie, you"re back."
The sound attracted her attention, she turns her head only to be shocked. "What are you doing there Ah Chen? It"s dangerous, get down."
Since when did this brat get over his fear of heights?! Wasn"t he crying last time she left him atop of a tree?
"..." Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen did not reply to her and looked somewhere else instead. Did he climb without knowing how to go down?
"Hey Lil brat, I said come down."
"..." Jiang Chen.
Raising her brows, Wei Yi Yi was not amused by this stubborn brat. She walks over and scratched her head.
She stood still, look up to Jiang Chen before taking her outer robes off, and then spread her arm. "Feel like going down now?"
The brat has guts on sending her some looks.
Jiang Chen also spread his arms but did not jump down. Giving Wei Yi Yi no choice but to reach out and pick him.
The moment she got ahold of him, she rolled him in her robes and tie a good knot before carrying the round him inside.
Jiang Chen will probably stay in this roll for hours as usual.
"Where"s Xiao w.a.n.g and Ah Yuan? Who lets you climb in there? Lil one, you can"t play without me--- I mean without someone looking out for you!"
Being sneaky is a talent for later! Don"t pick it in advance Lil one, ah!
Jiang Chen remains silent. He copied his sixth uncle and lay his head on his aunt embrace and then close his eyes to sleep, making Wei Yi Yi unable to put him down again. She"s in for another cramp!
