Wei Yi Yi's body clock work to the dot. She was wide awake even before the sunrise.

Her whole body felt uncomfortable. Maybe because Jiang Yu is using her as a body pillow or maybe because that ghost decide to disturb her.

The crucial point is, Jiang Yu have bad sleeping habits. The urge to kick him down is strong.

If only he's not the boss.

Her work place doesn't have much for morals.

Wei Yi Yi regrettably sigh as she let him have all the blankets and courteously buried him. Hopefully he turn silly from all the heat.

--------

Rumor and speculation flooded the whole inner palace the following days.

The Imperial Noble consort offended the emperor while the empress started to gain favor.

There are many versions of the story. Some said that the imperial noble consort fall out with the emperor while others said that the consort cursed the empress infront of his majesty.

Anyway, the one who benefited is the empress in the end.

Taking advantage of the gap on their relationship some concubine tried to gain the emperor's favor by sending him gifts or visiting him.

As for the others, they came and look for Ye Ai Ning to rub it in her face and trouble her. The Imperial Noble Consort hated how she couldn't just send them all off her back.

Despite being in the middle of the storm, Wei Yi Yi's days were calm. For her who do not understand how words could draw blood, even if Ye Ai Ning vomits blood at the morning greeting, she would only look at them with a questioning gaze.

Well as long as they are not pointing real blades at each other then she'll let them be.

Jiang Yu is the emperor and have no care for the women's disputes. His work is also starting to pile up. Even the assassination case remained unsolved and might be swept under the rug.

Reports upon reports, memorials after another memorials, if Wei Yi Yi saw, she'll speculate that his job might as well end him first rather than assasins.

"Ah Mei, Ah Mei!" Holding some books with one hand, Wei Yi Yi tug at her maidservant using the other. "Look, are those woods?"

The empress pointed at the group of servants that's making a bee line towards the imperial kitchen.

"Answering to your majesty, they are indeed woods. The kitchen store a large quantity of them everyday."

Getting her confirmation, Wei Yi Yi's ears perk up. She learned a few carpentry skills with Lan Zhuang when they build their pet houses way back then. With her strength, swinging a hammer is child play.

"Tang Mei go over and ask for a few of them. The cleaner the cut the better, got it?" she instructed.


"But your majesty cannot be left without any servants." Just the thought of leaving the empress alone could send her heart leaping!

"I'm not a kid. Go, go," Wei Yi Yi gave her an 'encouraging' push. "I'll wait for you at the lake pavillion."

Being mindful, Wei Yi Yi even took half the books that Tang Mei was holding before running off.

Tang Mei could only complied.

Regardless of her questionable image, Wei Yi Yi would depend that she's harmless. As an avid reader, she can obediently stay at one place and create a nest.

To prove that, aren't she always just running around her areas, ah? It's the concubines that's always coming to her for morning greeting or Su Mei Fan pumping out of no where.

Upon reaching the lake pavillion, a place for many encounters, Wei Yi Yi picked a book and sat comfortably against the breeze as she waited for Tang Mei. She forgot that being left alone set a flag for fated meetings.

Not even half way on her book, light and uniform footsteps sounded around the area.

"Did they allow you to get some?" she asked.

Wei Yi Yi expects that it would be Tang Mei but an unknown person is walking towards her direction instead.

Without any idea who might this person be, Wei Yi Yi place down the book she's reading and stood up.

She's inside the palace and so far, she trust the guards on their job. It's not like some random thug would be able to enter, right?

Infront, a lush of long black hair dance with the tune of the wind. Regardless, Wei Yi Yi could confidently say that she's facing a man.

Why is there a man inside the inner palace?

Hmmm? Wait!

Is this the long awaited male consort?!

Without any sense of a lady, she greedily ogle the man.

The man gave her corrupted eyes some delight. He's wearing a loose purple robe with golden embroidery. A nicely painted fan in his hand and a decorative petal was carefully drawn on his forehead.

He's face and build is kinda manly though.

Well, don't mind the small details! It's not like she's against with manly shous.

Why doesn't this bro know of this, ah?! Boss is so secretive!

As the empress, Wei Yi Yi have a record of all the members of the harem. Of course, as she is not the original, she had no idea.

But that's beside the point! Anyway, she's boarding this ship! Just thinking about it gave her imaginary nose bleeds.

Wei Yi Yi hold her nose and act like she's indeed having some nosebleed.

After a good distance, the man folded his fan and gave Wei Yi Yi a courteous greeting.

"Greetings to sister-in-law."

"....."

"..."

"Ah?"

Why?! Who's trolling this bro?! Give her back her expectations, ah!

That definitely hurts.
