Up until Jiang Yu left Feng Xiang Palace, the calm face that he exhibit crack from time to time.
"Do you think Zhen's empress really gone mad?"
The eunuch that serving Jiang Yu burst in cold sweats. Xiao Lin Xi slowly minced his word while he answered, "Your Majesty should not believe the rumors. They are but slandering the empress. Her majesty has not been healthy as of late, thus her mind is..a little..mud---"
Xiao Lin Xi almost bite his tongue! Calling the empress a muddle headed is still saying that she has a pit on her head, right?
Thankfully his majesty finally indicated that he knows. All that matters is that the emperor does not blame him.
If you don't talk about the empress' indifference and her excessive like to the emperor, Wei Yi Yi is the perfect empress for Jiang Yu.
Her maternal family is powerful enough to help Jiang Yu ascend the throne. Further more, at court, her father is acquitted to the most important ministers and as the father of the empress, naturally no one can go against him. In normal times, he should be fearful of his minister's excessive power but he has a good piece at hand.
As long as he does not move against this empress of his, Wei Cheng Ming would not thought of insane things. Also the prime minister's manor is in a hot mess. The only di son, with unfortunate series of events, end up in the military station at the border while the rest of his shu sons are no better at all. The second son is a lecherous person that give up taking the emperial exams while the third one was threatened to never enter the court by the first son. Now, the fourth son is the only heir apparent for him but his low born status cannot any be but lower as his mother is not even a proper concubine.
Jiang Yu sneered at his heart, as long as Wei Yi Yi remain tolerable, he does not mind playing with this family.
Serving the emperial family is indeed like entertaining the lion.
-------
The good piece Wei Yi Yi and the insane Wei Yi Yi indeed gone nuts.
Sitting by the window, she stare at that many peony flower at her yard. The Feng Xiang palace was planted with red peony flower at every available corner.
'They really look like wild rose.'
Wei Yi Yi seriously nodded to herself.
"Your ladyship, the way you talk to the emperor just now was not proper."
The little beauty at her side could not sit still and end up lecturing her.
"Ah Mei, the guy does not mind, this brother also does not mind, so don't mind the small details, got it?"
Tang Mei felt helpless with her master unruly behavior. She been like this since the past few weeks. At first, she thought that she would be better as she still act normally with a few slips in between. But after talking with His majesty, it's like she shed all pretense and started talking without thinking.
Crying in her heart, she tried to bring back Wei Yi Yi to of sound mind, "Your ladyship, such behavior is unbecoming of an empress. The emperor," peaking at her master expression, she continue, "the emperor like gentle and calm beauties and would not like to see such behavior, your ladyship."
After saying her piece, fear finally drowned on her. Saying it like this is like saying you know the emperor's thoughts, ah!
"Then she like white lotuses?"
"Your ladyship?"
Then she really need to stop the women on making trouble. Wei Yi Yi started to plan on how to make her boss happy.
You must know that this brother is as confident as confidence!
If you put it in a bad way, she was raised sheltered by her buddies. Despite being on different school or class, what she sees in the morning and after class is still them. Her friends are only them.
When their hormones started to act up, she finally got a girl friend. It was too late though. She could never be that girl best friend who you dress up with. She was conditioned to treat girls like a gentleman. If they want something, you give way and console them. Throwing tantrums? You let them, listen to them, accompany them. You treat them nicely and their choices is priority on the list of to do.
She was usually drag to court someone, console someone, planning the surprise and the date. As a third wheel, camera is her date. Making moments is a must! If theiy are too shy to flirt, you push them to flirt then compliment how cute they were together. If they fight, you listen to the girl crying while planning on how to put your bro on the better light.
'I bet that I could court girls better than guys!'
She spend years making their relationship work out, ok?! Then they would break up! Arggghhh she remembered! Those idiots that keep on saying to her that 'this is the one'.
Specially that Ye Ming! Every year he showed her a different girl and would tell her, 'Yi Yi, I swear I really like her.' She would believe, befriend her, make so that they end up together then Ye Ming would blankly tell her, 'I know my wrongs.'
They end up wrestling everytime with Ye Ming crunching his precious and the others trying to separate them.
Holy fudge, settle down you horny caramel fondue!
Wei Yi Yi started cursing her buddy that end up with 10 different girlfriends at the age of 26. This one truely runs her energy dry!
She was distracted from planning her current life.
