Chapter 7 - Chapter seven

"Qing Wen." Qing Chu spoke, "Don't touch that."

"Ah, Little Chu, why can't I have your jade pendant?" Qing Wen replied, "Did you get this from your girlfriend?"

"No." Qing Mama spoke, "He got that from Su Chen."

"Woah, it works. Awesome." Su Chen chuckled, "I hope everything goes well on the other side."

Su Chen was wearing his hairstyle like that of an Ancient Chinese drama, with a smile brightened, "Ah, something wrong?"

"Forget it. I'm going to get a heart attack one of these days." Qing Chu grumbled.

Su Chen slipped through the crack, "I brought something to eat."

This Qing Chu opened up the wrapping, "Cheeseburger, isn't that looking so good?"

"He didn't get mad, again?" This Qing Chu inquired.

"Ah, he doesn't need to know. Besides, he has school to deal with." Su Chen chuckled, "My shop has been booming, I made 500 today."

"Interesting." This Qing Chu spoke, "I quite like this cheeseburger. Empress Dowager still hasn't been cured yet, I managed to quite some control in court, but there are still some people loyal to her."

"Ah." Su Chen remarked, "There will always be people like that, I wouldn't worry—everything will be solved before you know it."

"So you say." This Qing Chu remarked, "I might've scared him, upon the thought of marriage, despite myself not truly commuting to the ideals of this expected time peridot."

"Ah, suppose so." Su Chen explained, "In any case, I imagine a shows about to go down. Looks like Empress and Noble Consort are going to meet each other in the Imperial garden!"

Empress arrived first, she chided smile shined, "Noble Consort, it's a surprise to see yourself here—so early in the morning. You're normally sleeping around at this time, desperate to gain his majesty's affection."

Noble Consort bowed, "Empress, it's a surprise an old crone like yourself can be looking so pretty, your nearly thirty this year, and you still haven't gained a child yet? And you dare to chide me, what about looking in the mirror."

"Both old drones who remarried because their previous husband died so early on." Su Chen remarked, "And can't even have kids with normal means, using extra 'help' to have their children compete for the throne—how petty and useless at the same time."

"How interesting." This Qing Chu replied, "Your assumptions are correct despite me not informing you about anything."

"Ah, the wonderful worlds of plot points not existing and making sense or money, to begin with." Su Chen explained, "You'll understand when you're older then."
