The Employed Empress 90 Chapter 90: Only Him

In case someone walked in on them while they look pathetic, Tang Mei had some lesser servant to stand in vigil. She firmly ordered that no one is allowed to pass.
Just before the pair of in-laws decide to start another disaster, Xiao Yuan Xi got worried enough to fetch the two.
"Empress, another bath was prepared for you," he said. Wei Yi Yi almost hugs him in joy. She had enough of her sticky self. "As for your highness, this servant will speak frankly. Please go home or go to Eternal Pool."
"That cannot be done. This prince cannot be seen anywhere near that palace hall, let alone take a bath!" Jiang Liu shakes his head in extreme disagreement.
Wei Yi Yi gave a side comment. "Wow. Boss named a bathhouse as 'Eternal Pool'?"
"Your Highness, does this servant need to remind you how inappropriate your request to bath in Xian Feng Palace is?"
'You already did', thought both Wei Yi Yi and Jiang Liu.
Jiang Liu coughed. He remained stubborn. "Just give this prince a tub of water. I'll just wipe my face."
"What about clothes?" Xiao Yuan Xi asked.
Jiang Liu paused. Looked down at himself then at Xiao Yuan Xi. Showing a disappointed look, he shook his head once and then looked inside his clothes.
"Maybe I can use the other side---"
"No, you can't." Wei Yi Yi dashed his idea right away.
Jiang Liu clicked his tongue. After acting like some lowly worm and an ugly monkey, both climbing the wall and crawling into dog holes, it seems like his ending is to be sent home.
"I have some male clothes. Although not as elaborate as the palace robes, you could make do with them," Wei Yi Yi offered.
With a sudden show of favour, Jiang Liu brightened up once again. They said, even if someone doesn't like a dog, if they raise it long enough, they'll start showing affection towards it.
Clinging to his Big Sister wasn't in vain at all!
"Ah... But," Jiang Liu suddenly got curious. "Why do Big Sister have male clothes? Are they Royal Brother's? What did you two do? Why do you have them?"
Hearing such an ambiguous tone, Wei Yi Yi suddenly regretted offering him a hand. "No, they're not his."
"No? Then where did they come from? Ah! Is it yours? Oh no, what did you use them for? Hurry and tell this little brother. I won't tell others. Just between us siblings."
"I just remembered that I still have your outer robe from last time. Use that instead!"
"But I want Big sister's! You already promised. Keep it! Keep it! Or you're a snake!"
"Annoying!" Wei Yi Yi swiftly turned to kick Jiang Liu then bailed out.
Half-limping and half-crying, Jiang Liu has yet again to learn his lessons.
In the end, with much whining and them almost wrestling it out, Tang Mei was able to make the two of them compromise.
Jiang Liu put his outer robe on top, but inside, he's wearing the robes that Wei Yi Yi let him borrow.
Only after Wei Yi Yi got out of the bath did Jiang Chen also show his face again. Water dripping from head to toe and his skin a little bit redder than usual, this child too, only got out of the bath. At his side, Xiao Wang Xi looks so defeated.
The moment their eyes met, Jiang Chen run and slam directly at Wei Yi Yi. Seeing this exchange, Jiang Liu eyes lit up. Wei Yi Yi saw this and caught his intention right away. Immediately reacting, she threw the first thing she grabbed.
'Does he think he's still a baby?!'
As expected, the idiot could easily dodge anything flying towards him like an expert.
While the empress was taking a bath, Tang Mei has gone out to the kitchen to instruct the other servants. She also took extra measure to send away the other low-ranked servants.
She then came back just in time to stop another 'war' before it started.
'Just exactly when will their energy runs out?'
Tang Mei ordered for a couch to be put outside the courtyard and the trio happily went after for a sunbath.
Before Jiang Liu could sit comfortably, Wei Yi Yi dropped Jiang Chen on his lap. The uncle shoots up his hands in the air like he was evading while the nephew turned white in utter shock.
Grabbing his hand, Wei Yi Yi put the cloth on Jiang Liu's palm then direct it down on Jiang Chen's head.
"Dry his hair while you explain this to me," Wei Yi Yi took out the picture booklet from her robe and wave it.
Two pairs of eyes looked at her like she just fed them a fly.
Wei Yi Yi ignored the two. They should be thankful that she hasn't tied them together yet.
Although she doesn't show it, Wei Yi Yi is highly concern regarding meeting other people.
When she first met Jiang Liu, she couldn't tell who he is. When she thought that maybe he's someone close to 'Wei Yi Yi', her heart was beating out of fear.
And when she thought that she might meet people that know 'Wei Yi Yi', her palms kept sweating.
She knew 'she' has deep affection towards Jiang Yu. She knew 'she' doesn't have many friends. She knew 'her' mother died, 'her' father is the prime minister, and 'she' has an older brother and younger brothers.
She knew but she doesn't know them for who they are and what are they for 'her'.
What she had, are just superficial memories. No matter what she does, she couldn't dive in deep within 'Wei Yi Yi's' memory.
'Is Jiang Yu the only one important to you? Don't you have anyone that would cry if they knew you died? Were you hiding your feelings to me?'
She is afraid, but she must do it anyway. Worse come to worse, Boss is there for clean up.
Also, she wanted to do a good job! Regardless whether there is none or there is one of them who's 'Wei Yi Yi's' good friend, it's her job, as a loyal employee to her Boss, to entertain the women!
Wei Yi Yi sighed and obediently listened to Jiang Liu's grumpy tone as he talked about everyone in the picture booklet.
Not only 'Wei Yi Yi' abandoned her, but Google-sensei also left her alone! There's no insta, fb, or even weibo!
With that thought, Wei Yi Yi appreciated Jiang Liu more than before.
