Somehow, her boss, who have a serious case of negligence, was possessed with a mushroom spirit.
Many times he pop out of no where! Would Wei Yi Yi get caught? Of course not! Or so she thought. An emperor, when he sent a command, would be answered in no time.
After weeks of hiding, Jiang Yu finally caught on Wei Yi Yi's ploys.
The empress cry bitter tears. She face Jiang Yu inside his imperial study.
Wei Yi Yi dare not openly observed her surrounding. Although with the amount of memorials that scattered everywhere, she could see how workaholic this man is.
Just like the imperial library, this place also have a mountain of book collections. The smell enticed Wei Yi Yi but knowing that they all probably for work rather than entertainment, she threw off the thought of building a nest here.
"Why don't you tell zhen what did you do?" Jiang Yu break the silent.
He kept eyeing his empress but Wei Yi Yi's mind practically block his existence and flew somewhere.
Knowing that the emperor have eyes and ears everywhere, Wei Yi Yi did not dare play ignorant. With her eyes darting everywhere, she said, "I---Chenqie... um, kinda, you know, throw a flying saucer---- towards your consort."
"The empress what?" Jiang Yu raise his brow. Wei Yi Yi swiftly divert her sight faraway from him.
Did she said she like complaining? Oh or like express how much she hated responsibility? Well, this is what'll happen for stepping out of her bounds. Now she need to justify her own actions.
"When will the empress stop making troubles for zhen? Were no longer kids, Wei Yi Yi." he said in the middle of silence.
It have been years. They grew up and married but only Wei Yi Yi could make him feel helpless.
"Eh?! But this is chenqie first offense!"
That's 'Wei Yi Yi' offenses! Don't dump it into her! She'll cry! She'll brawl out her eyes for you to see, ah!
"How come zhen remembered the empress shouting about taking a male consort in the middle of a busy street."
"..."
Boss, how about we talk how you raise a death flag?
Wei Yi Yi bite her tongue to stop her sarcastic remarks.
Before Wei Yi Yi would stomp her feet and say: I'm just doing what I like! Jiang Yu remember her as unreasonable person but when she act guilty like this; where she couldn't deny nor admit, he found it funny how she was stuck at being a child.
Just how sheltered is she raised? Does she think Jiang Yu is her favorite pet and followed him up until now? Doesn't that make her the pet then?
Remembering the valiant her that day and then the crying her at night. The contrasting image sow a little seed inside Jiang Yu. He felt a strong injustice for her. "Feng Shi let her servants injured the imperial nephew and disrespected the empress. Zhen has decree for her to be demoted by two ranks. She was sent to Qui Yi Palace to live with other imperial concubine."
With shock, Wei Yi Yi finally looked over to Jiang Yu but his eyes is looking at his memorials again. Wei Yi Yi smile brightly when she thought that he could not see her.
Wei Yi Yi remembered that Tang Mei told her something last time but she was not listening. Aiyo! If she knew that why would she horde up herself inside! How many days since then? She actually missed so much mischief!
"Aiya boss! I know that you're the best!" Dropping the 'chenqie' and the proper salutation, she run off without being dismissed.
Let's not waste the day! Ah she dearly missed the sun and it's hot glares.
"Wei Yi Yi!" Jiang Yu stopped her but she slam the door close. That woman took home what she learn outside!
"Eunuch Lin, is she always like that?" Xiao Lin Xi did not know how to answer the flabbergasted emperor.

"Ah Chen let's go fishing!" Wei Yi Yi rudely burst in the room. The servants serving inside got startled and drop the things in their hands.
"Oh. Hehehe---ehem." she gave them an awkward cough.
"Empress where are you going to fish? You're not thinking about the lake right?" Tang Mei vigilantly questioned her mistress.
The Koi and fishes there are His majesty's price posession! She must stop the empress no matter what.
Wei Yi Yi is indeed thinking about that lake inside the palace. But now, seeing Tang Mei stance, she dare not nod.
"Imperial Aunt seems to have a lot of time." Jiang Chen carefully mince his word.
"No No. This auntie here is not free at all. I just make time for dearest nephew. See how good i am to you?" Wei Yi Yi reach out to carry Jiang Yu but was stopped by Tang Mei.
"Before that, why don't we put your medicine now your ladyship? You came at the right time, empress, this servant had just finished putting his highness' ointment."
Wei Yi Yi remembered that sadistic doctor. She dislocated her wrist again and that doctor 'gently' relocated it---My ass! That one should not be given a license! He might as well be lying that it's my fault that this end up as a fracture!
Also, he's medicine and ointment smell like deadfish. Wei Yi Yi stepped back and refuse this so called herbal medicines! Tang Mei have no qualms manhandling her again.
"Pardon for the offense. Now empress, be a good example for the imperial nephew."
"That's below the belt!"
Jiang Chen observed them at the side. A servant and a master, interacting like this, slowly become a normal scene for him. Xiao Wang Xi raise him, but never gotten this close. Now it seems it's not that forbidden at all.
A knock interrupted them.
"Empress, Eunuch Yuan have returned. He brought Xiao Wang Xi with him." the servant inform outside the door.
Just before Wei Yi Yi could respond, her nephew literally flew out the door.
Looking at Tang Mei, she asked, "Where did he learned that?"
