The Employed Empress 4 Chapter 4: Rabbits and a stud horse

She plan on finding the library and squat herself there. Maybe after reading all those text she will ascend.

"Your ladyship, the palace concubines are here for the morning greatings."

Without giving her that much time to react, row upon row of woman entered and greeted her respectfully.

Wei Yi Yi felt overwhelmed. Their colorful dress partner with their accessories are offensive to the eyes. The different perfumes on the air makes her want to faint.

Wei Yi Yi: Dear brothers, where the fudge are you? come get me here you traitors!

From childhood to adulthood, Wei Yi Yi grow up with a group of boys. With varying age and personalities, they somehow click and become a family. And as if it was a rule, most activities must be done by a group of five and that's how her four brothers corrupted her to be one of them.

When they were little, she was drag to play basketball and PvP type of video games. As if to make up numbers, she was taught how to play drums. When they grow up a bit she was taken eveyday to exercise then to practice different martial arts.

It was too late when her mother realized that her only daughter grow up being a dude.

When they entered adulthood they all decided to live together until they got married. Not that any of them got married. No, It's more accurate to say that she wont know nor be there to witness it anymore.

"Empress does not seem to be in good health? I heard that imperial noble consort Ye also fell ill. Such things happening put this concubine ill at ease."

A small cocunbine with much guts start throwing pointed words to the empress. Wei Yi Yi felt her eyes twitching. This bone deep heartache is really hard to control. This feelings are not her own much more to her discomfort.

This consort Ye entered the palace the same time 'Wei Yi Yi' married as per custom. Obviously she is the emperor most beloved thus she sat on the highest rank a cocunbine could get. Above all and just below one empress.

The lady in question is the source of all the original heartbreak. Imperial noble consort Ye and the emperor are childhood friend and cousins. This is incest, I say! Twincest is the only wincest ok?!

"Who knows if she's really ill? If you allow me to say your majesty, this concubine believe that she's pretending to be ill. Empress, obviously you're the one that really ill, ah!"

Another one jumped on the fray. Wei Yi Yi felt fear for this mob of pretty girls. She's not good at accompanying them nor talking to them. Men always talk way too forward and if things cannot be resolved, they talk back with their fist. Dragging someone down to saw discord is way out of her league.

"I.." She was pinch by the side by Tang Mei so she can only cough and continue. "Bengong heard that the emperor visit imperial concubine Su last night. Therefore, bengong prepare some gifts."

Everyone is waving plot after plot on their head on how to agitate the empress to suppress Concunbine Ye but they were shock silence by Wei Yi Yi.

It's normal for the empress to reward those who served the emperor. What not normal is that the empress actually said a few words for them. Usually she would just wore an impatient expression, give the gifts then wave her hand to dismiss them. To say that the empress does not care about the inner palace is not an exaggeration.

"This..Your majesty.."

A timid cocunbine tried to answer her but was somehow shut embarrassingly by whatever reason.

"Hmp, who doesn't know that when the emperor heard that imperial noble consort Ye felt unwell, he turn around and leave Qui Yi Palace immediately without much thoughts."

Concunbine Su who reside in Qui Yi palace bow her head lower to try to hide herself. Wei Yi Yi eye her. Her figure is small and petite. with her cowering in embarrassment, she attract strong sense of wanting to protect her and shield her. Nodding her head she thought that the emperor really know his stuffs.

"Don't mind the small detials."

Waving her hand, she indicate to Tang Mei to passed the jewelries. The concubine glace at them and shock flash on their eyes. This, is the empress really giving this? Such richness! What did cocunbine Su did to receive the empress favor? You must know that although the emperor did not have his empress in his heart, he very much respect her.

Inside the tray are different hairpin and some bangles. Each beautiful than the other. their workmanship is indeed worthy of a palace jewelry. Small valuable stones are inserted in each of them to be petals for the flower. What more eye catching is the silver rabbit with bright red ruby eyes.

It's actually so cute!

Everyone give praise left and right, reciting poetry from who knows where. Envy flashing from their eyes.

They also give praise for the empress. As dignify as what. As beautiful as who knows. That she has eyes etc etc.

She does not get it ok?!

Wei Yi Yi glace at the rabbit. Her eyes smiling as she thought, 'Get it on like rabbits! So that you could match that stud horse!'

The small person inside of her hold her hand up to pray. May the emperor forever entangle with this bunch of rabbit, forget about her then get his jun jun injure from doing it too much.

Tang Mei looked side way towards the slowly smilling Wei Yi Yi. Once again, the empress thoughts flew out the window.
