14 In The Palace (1/2)

”Xiao Junwangye, Xiao Junwangfei has arrived!” an eunuch who guard in fengguang building shouted and the door open. When I and my husband entered the building, we immediately saw two women sitting inside. Xiao Junwangye and I immediately prostrated. Give our respect to the two women.

”Respect to Huanghou (Empress) and Huangtaihou (Empress Dowager). May Heaven give blessings to Huanghou and Huangtaihou. Hopefully Huanghou and Huangtaihou are given a very long life, ”Xiao Junwangye and I said in a loud voice.

”Thank you. You two stand up! Please sit down! ”Huanghou said to us. My husband and I obeyed her words.

When I stood up, I could see Huanghou's face.She is very beautiful and looks younger than her age. I remember when I meet her in first time in Palace Banquet two years ago. It's hard for me to believe that she is the biological mother of Huangtaiji because of her appearance.

But, I feel stressed for a moment because I see her expression showed that she dislike me. Her gaze was very sharp on me. For a moment I felt that my body was shivering, but I tried to calm myself down. We sat to the left of Huanghou. I didn't see Yun Jing Fei in this room.

”If you are looking for your sister, she is not well. I forbid her to come,” Huanghou spoke in a voice that sounded arrogant. I was forced to smile at her words.

Actually I feel happy because she is not here. I will have difficulty keeping my attitude before her if she is here. Anyway, I still can't accept the fact that Yun Jing Fei is Huangtaijifei now. I still think of her as the person who usurped my position

”Hopefully Huangtaijifei will get well soon,” I said to Huanghou to look modesty. She frowned.

”I don't like insincere words. Actually, I forbid her to come because I'm afraid she will get a bad luck in here,” Huanghou spoke viciously.

Obviously she is insinuating me. She said that I would have a bad influence to Yun Jing Fei. I was very upset after hearing her words. I want to reply to her words with sharper words.

However, Xiao Junwangye held my hand tightly. Obviously my husband asked me to be quiet. I sighed and forced myself to smile.

”Xia He brought a present for Huanghou, hopefully Huanghou likes it,” Xiao Junwangye spoke then looked at me. I nod my head. I looked at Ling who was in the corner of the building. Ling approached me and gave a box covered in red cloth. I accepted it and walked towards Huanghou.

”May Huanghou like the gift from Xia He,” I said to her while giving the box to Huanghou's servant who was standing to his left. The servant opened the box and showed it to Huanghou. Huanghou nod and looked like she was satisfied.

”I didn't expect a stubborn woman like you know the ethics when you meet your husband family,” she said to me and I smiled. I'm not angry because she said that I was a stubborn woman. I was annoyed if he said that I was the bearer of bad things. But stubborn? I know that is true.

”This tea drinking device is very interesting. I rarely see tea sets made of wood can give an elegant appearance,” Huanghou said again. In my heart, I thanked to Yao Mama for preparing a present for Huanghou. If she no prepared it for me, Huanghou would embarrass me. I don't want the rumor about me to increase again.

”I feel very happy if Huanghou are satisfied with this present,” I said in a soft voice. I am grateful because Yao Mama prepared the right gift for Huanghou. Huanghou pulled one of the jade bracelets she was wearing. She gave it to me.
