Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 2005
The War Prince is becoming increasingly arrogant, clearly opposing the Royal Family. The Empress is also foolish; knowing that Situtu Xueer is the War Prince’s woman, she confronts her on the street. Isn’t she courting disaster?
"Eunuch Li."
"Yes, this servant is here."
Ever since The Emperor knew the Empress had lost face for the Royal Family outside, his expression has been gloomy. Sitting on the Dragon Throne, no one knows what he is thinking. Eunuch Li was standing cautiously by the side. Suddenly, he heard The Emperor call him and immediately stepped forward.
"Go and summon the Empress for me."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Eunuch Li exited the Imperial Study Room swiftly, quickly heading to Fengyang Palace to report to the Empress.
Fengyang Palace.
The Empress wore a Peony Hairbun, adorned with extremely red peony flowers on both sides. She put on the Phoenix Flying to the Heavens Auspicious Agate Hollow Crown, with a golden phoenix inlaid with rubies, and sat gracefully to the side, sipping tea in small sips.
Suddenly, a palace maid hurriedly reported that Eunuch Li had arrived.
Eunuch Li was the Personal Eunuch beside The Emperor, so the Empress dared not neglect him and quickly had him invited inside.
"Eunuch Li, has something happened on The Emperor’s side?" Eunuch Li just entered and had not yet steadied himself, when the Empress immediately asked.
Usually, the Empress sent many good things to Eunuch Li, hoping that if anything happened on The Emperor’s side, Eunuch Li would inform her.
Eunuch Li: "Oh dear! Empress, this time you’ve caused trouble."
The Empress, upon hearing this, became anxious: "What? Related to me? What has happened exactly?"
"The Emperor is angry about yesterday’s incident, continuously scolding the War Prince, yet he has no way to deal with him. The Emperor asked this servant to summon you, Empress. You must be careful; The Emperor is in a bad mood."
The Empress’ face turned pale. She thought, it was a disaster. She had forgotten that The Emperor’s greatest concern was the War Prince. Yesterday, on the street, although they did not confront each other directly, the War Prince’s dismissive attitude toward her as Empress must have already spread throughout the Capital.
The Emperor is someone who cares about reputation, and he surely became angry upon hearing the rumors.
Eunuch Li covertly glanced at the Empress and cautiously said, "Empress, this servant advises you to quickly go to see The Emperor! If you delay, The Emperor may become even angrier."
The Empress knew she could not avoid it, so she had to take the palace maid with her, heading anxiously to the Imperial Study Room.
Eunuch Li quietly entered the Imperial Study Room.
The Emperor was seated on the Dragon Throne, resting with his eyes closed.
Eunuch Li also dared not make a sound, and merely stood by, waiting for The Emperor to wake up before reporting the Empress’ arrival.
The Empress was already anxious, and she waited a long time at the door of the Imperial Study Room without seeing Eunuch Li come out to report. She dared not leave and just stood at the door waiting for The Emperor’s summons.
After about two hours, the palace maid quietly glanced at the door and asked in a low voice: "Empress, are you tired?"
Isn’t this redundant? The Empress, raised as gold nobility, had never suffered. Let alone standing for two hours so long, her feet were sore and numb, but the man inside the room is the Emperor of Moli Country. No matter how hard it is, she dared not complain even a single word.
The Empress glanced at the palace maid, without uttering a sound, her body remaining upright.
"Otherwise, shall I secretly move a small stool over for the Empress to rest for a while?" The palace maid truly felt pity for the Empress.
"Don’t talk nonsense, this is the Imperial Study Room, you cannot behave recklessly. Besides, being summoned by The Emperor is an exceptional honor. Bringing a small stool over wouldn’t you end up harming me?"
The Empress couldn’t help but quietly reprimand, wondering where the palace maid’s brain was that she suggested sitting at the door of The Emperor’s Imperial Study Room? Does she want The Emperor to be unhappy, thinking she, the Empress, has a big issue with his negligence?
