Loving the Naughty Empress

In Jeong mansion, Lord jeong is furious with his sister behaviour. She is well knowing for her knowledge and smart, yet, today she is becoming unscrupulous girl or woman. He still cannot understand her sister way of thinking. She is not thinking about anything for money or power in her life.

"plaaak…" a loud crisp sound come out from the slap across her face.

"How can you dare to do it when you clear enough knows about your job?" Jeong is reprimanding his sister.

"I do not want to enter the palace… I just want to be married to normal people and build my own family," Ru Ya is crying while he is ignoring the idea of her sister perfect world.

"Go to your room and stay until the time to go to the palace tomorrow morning. I will arrange the counter measure with the palace lady so you can pass the body check," Jeong is still angry with her sister stupid wishes. The maid is taking her to her room and under the instruction from Jeong, they are locking the room from outside to prevent her to run away.

Meanwhile, Jeong is sending his assistant to bribe the palace lady for her sister place as one of the candidates. He has to make sure she will be one of the top three to be choose by the empress.

In the morning, Ni Sheng is entering the palace really early in the morning. He cannot sleep last night and asks Eunuch Wang to announce his presence to the emperor. last night, noble consort Qing is moving back to the emperor chamber in the main palace. The emperor is really happy to get his way back and his wife is following his wish.

As the emperor still does not respond then Ni Sheng is waiting in front of the bed chamber of the emperor. he is pacing back and forth impatiently as it almost make Eunuch Wang confused.

"Young master Ni… what's important stuff needs the audience with the emperor early in morning?" Eunuch Wang is asking politely to Ni Sheng.

"Yes… it is regarding about my future bride. I would like to ask the emperor to bestow me the edict for someone before she enters the palace," Ni Sheng is looking so tense in front of Eunuch Wang. He is being quiet after listening to Ni Sheng plea. He cannot do anything as the door still closing and they did not hear any voice from inside the chamber.

Inside the room, Jin Yu is still doze off due to his workload after he went back to his chamber. He was taking a cold bath really late in the night. He really cannot hold the temptation from his wife on his bed. Ni Qing is already waking up on the bed as she cannot take any longer the instruction on the bed rest. She needs to walk and moves around before her body lose the ability to move around. She decides to jump on his body to get the tea before some arm enveloping her body.

"where are you going?" Jin Yu said to his wife with his hoarse voice, and he still close his eyes.

"I am thirsty, so I want to get some water from the table. I do not want to wake you up." Ni Qing is making an excuse as she wants to stretch her body. She is pregnant and not cripple. She needs to bring this thing to her husband.

"Wang…. Xiao Nie…. Come and serve some water for the noble consort Qing." Jin Yu is calling their maid. The door is opening when Xiao Nie and Eunuch Wang are coming and serving them the hot water.

Ni Qing is getting the cup and drink it before she took the warm towel to wipe her face. Jin Yu is helping her to change her clothes and get ready with Xiao Nie assistance. He is putting her back to the bed when Ni Qing is refusing it. she is walking to the nearby sofa and sit on it.

Eunuch Wang and Eunuch Li are helping the emperor to get ready for his morning court meeting. It has been a long time after the last meeting is held on the noble consort Qing palace courtyard. Xiao Nie with the others palace maid is serving the breakfast when Ni Sheng is barking in and bowing to the emperor and his sister.

"What happen, Sheng?" Ni Qing is asking her brother with a curiosity as his face is looking really tense.

"I would like to get bestowed a marriage alliance by the emperor before my future wife is getting force to enter the concubine selection today," Ni Sheng is kneeling in front of the table to beg to his brother-in-law.

"Husband, did I hear about the concubine selection? Why do I not know anything for this important event?" Ni Qing is turning back to find his husband is walking toward her.

"It is a regular yearly event held by the palace as they want to get opportunity for their sister or daughter to be part of my harem. However, I never care or participate into my harem problem as long as no one touch you. This is held by the empress palace and the rites department," Jin Yu is sitting down next to his wife.

"But don't you have to sleep with your new concubine? Is their wedding night and I bet they are still virgin?" Ni Qing is interrogating her husband as she tries to find way for herself to get out from his tight supervision.

"Do I smell something sour in this room?" Jin Yu is smiling to see his wife reaction.

"Your highness, we did not put any vinegar or any citrus fruit in the meal this morning. Do you want me to clean up the chamber for the odour problem?" Eunuch Wang is reporting to Jin Yu.

"No need…. It's too hard to speak with an eunuch. Who is this lucky lady?" Jin Yu is asking to Ni Sheng.

"Eunuch Wang, can you get my brother another set of cutleries?" Ni Qing is instructing Wang to prepare the set of cutleries which make him startle. Eunuch Wang is looking to the emperor for asking his approval.

"Just follow your noble consort wishes…. She is the boss in this place not me the emperor," Jin Yu is putting some food into his mouth.

"Thank you, your highness. Her name is Jeong RU Ya. I want to get married to her and us already in some relationship when her brother finds out and confined her. the only way out to reach to you, your royal highness," Ni Sheng is sitting down in front of them and bowing to eunuch Li who is preparing for his cutleries.

"Jeong, you mean Lord Jeong. The main culprit?" Ni Qing is asking from her brother. She still does not believe she has a sister.

"Yes…."

"Are you sure about it? do you think about her sincere way to approach you base on love solemnly and not with any other agenda?" she is asking from her brother. She does not want him to get hurt in the end because of some political issues.

"I am sure and if I got hurt because of the woman that I choose to spend my life with her. I will fully be responsible with my decision," Ni Sheng is convincing her about his decision.

"Your highness, the time for the court meeting is now. Please proceed to the main hall as everyone waits for you," Eunuch Wang is telling the emperor. Ni Sheng is drinking his soy milk and swallow some of the food quickly.

"Come here after the meeting and Wang, can you bring the girl to me? You also need to be presented in this place," Ni Qing is telling her husband who is standing up. Jin Yu is holding her cheek before he puts it up and kiss her thin rosy lips. When he finishes the kiss, he smiles to see her naïve face.

"Do as Noble Consort instruction and bring her the girl from the concubine selection," Jin Yu is telling them before he walks out the chamber into the main hall.

Jeong is preparing her sister with the best nanny in the capital. She is preparing her ready to get choose as the concubine. She does not want to enter the palace, but her brother forces her to do it. she is wearing the best dress today and wears the best makeup to enter the palace and compete with another lady.

They are going into the palace together when Jeong is walking to the main hall while his sister is going to the waiting area for the concubine selection. they are going to wait until the main area is full of attendance. The palace maid already take note and watch them over really tightly.  They cannot do anything except sit down and waiting for their turn.
