For the past few days, Wei Yi Yi was thinking of how to push the emperor to the consorts. And for that few days, she would experience being short on breath. Her legs would turn jelly and she would have cold sweats.
It turn the whole inner palace in a frenzy.
"The emperial noble consort is true love ah!"
'Wei Yi Yi' you idiot, it was nothing but a political marriage! We're employed, ok?!'
Even if you search the history, consorts are true love!
I say, having a boss is a good thing. Back in the modern world she's a good support team member. Her boss reallly like her and would take her to lunch. She does not need to send reports to the supervisors nor talk to them, if they have a problem, boss would be there to talk with them.
Though when her boss recommended her for promotion, she swiftly run away. Work smart not harder hohohoho.
Anyway, the point is Jiang Yu is our precious boss! Stop having thoughts, ah! And consorts are true love aaaahhh!
Talking to a ghost is indeed not good as it follow another breathlessness.

Su Mei Fan timidly look at the elegant lady sipping tea at her palace. Was the empress here to get rid of her?
With a pale face, concunbine Su gave a respectful bow towards Wei Yi Yi.
"This concubine greets her majesty, the empress."
"No need for pleasantries."
The empress immediately catch her and proceed to straighten her up. There's a slight smile on the empress face when she took a glace.
"Younger sister must have been sick with anxiety the past few days? I see that your complexion is ashen. This sister took some time investigating this mess and end up making mei mei worried sick."
With a twist, Wei Yi Yi received the nourishing soup from Tang Mei then pass it to Su Mei Fan.
"Here, drink some soup. It won't be good for little sister's beautiful complexion to turn sickly. The palace does not lack things to take care of little sister."
When the empress is passing her the soup, she took her hand to hold the bowl and gently help her to drink it. Her heart threatens to leap out of her chest.
"You--your majesty...?"
Wei Yi Yi is starting to think that this little concubine have communication problems.
At her side, Tang Mei return with chests of clothes and some jeweries. When everything has settle down, she can no longer tolerate the small cocunbine's stare and plan her escape on her head.
Picking up a butterfly hairpin, she draw close to the timid girl. She console her as she gently put it in her well made hair.
"The thing regarding his majesty's gifts are but misunderstanding. Your sisters' has been staying at their palace for so long that they had mistaken a wild rose for a peony."
Without much warning, concunbine Su lift up her face to shockingly look at the empress. A wild rose?! How could such a obvious lie be passable enough?
Wei Yi Yi lips twitch slightly. She almost poke her!
"Don't worry, this sister will take you little sisters out one time, ok?"
The woman infront of her continue to gently console her with a slight beautiful smile on her face. A light flash on Su Mei Fan eyes.
Inside the inner palace, other than the empress, there is only one imperial noble consort. Not only she is just below the empress and above everyone else, imperial noble consort Ye receive all of his majesty love and adoration.
After that there are two noble consorts and a consort inside the palace. As for her, she's just one of the many imperial concubines that can be replace anytime.
Yet the empress is not here to punish her. Concunbine Su end up crying.
"Empress...this concunbine..."
Truely she was afraid of dead. It does not matter that the empress just brush off the issue. It was enough that she does not accuse her. Justice does not matter as long as she could go alive.
"The robes that his majesty gifted to you cannot be brought back so he sent this bolts of fabric instead. Little sister can play with them instead."
When she started crying, Wei Yi Yi still calmly talk to her. Pumping her chest she thought that she's pro at this. Firstly she need to drill to this one's mind how concern her boss was! Everything she did was of course something her boss wanted to portray. She'll be nothing but representative.
So a few consoling section start that last till midday. She end up perched from all the talking but seeing the cute smile from concubine Su and her bashful appearance, Wei Yi Yi's ego boasts a few more.
'This Su Shi is her first quest! And it was done perfectly!'
When she thought how much Su Shi sound like yummy Sushi. She decided to brand her just like that. Calling Sushi in her mind everytime she see this small concubine.
"Your ladyship, it is time to return."
Wei Yi Yi face suddenly blackened.
"Can we not return yet?"
She does not want ah! Earlier when she decided to leave her house, she bravely thought that she was just going to visit her neighbor, thus she decided on walking and leaving the sedan chair. But no one told her how dangerous it is to walk with this exaggerated skirts.
She almost flip a few times on the way! She does not want a repeat! How about I teach you the concept of overnights and pajama parties?
While the empress is cursing a storm in her head, the one in front of her is of no better as she bashfully took a glance at Wei Yi Yi darkened face and her strong expression of not wanting to go. Blushing so hard, this one mind also flew somewhere else.
