Today, Honghui was spending a night in my chambers. Of course we had an understanding. We had married for the sake of our people. Or so he thought. I was in love with only man, Huang Chaoxing and I wasn't going to sleep any other man but him.
Of course that didn't mean I wouldn't prepare for the "king" when he was visiting my chambers. My reputation as empress was what was at stake here. I had ordered all the servants to clean everywhere till it was spotless.
When Honghui arrived, it was already evening so I ordered my servants to prepare food.
"Greetings your majesty." I said greeting him at the door with my entourage.
"Empress, please rise." He said taking my hand and leading me inside.
When we arrive inside, I remove his royal robe and give my personal maid, Ruyi. After that, I dismiss the servants.
"Looks like court was hectic today, wasn't it?" I asked taking my seat.
