Loving the Naughty Empress

"What is wrong with you father? Why can you press it down and marry her as consort to that stupid crown prince?" Empress Chu Yang vents her anger to her father. She can see her younger cousin who still afraid and shakes up. She sees Chu Yang for the first time and she got scares straight away.

"The emperor did not speak or discuss anything related to the crown prince wedding in the court. He must be venting his anger because of your mischievous acts. You have to watch your behaviour, my empress," Lord Chu is explaining to his only daughter Who has a hot temper and cunning as a snake.

"What is her name?"

"My name is Chu Yi, my royal highness empress," the girl did not dare to raise her face to face her own older cousin. She hears the rumour about her older cousin that she can kill and make people, who are a sore eye for her, disappeared without any trace. She is becoming really scared.

"Why are you so quiet? Do you able to survive in this cold place? How old are you?" Chu Yang drill the question to her timid cousin. In her mind, she needs to be strong to help the Chu family clan or she will be liabilities to the whole clan.

"I will work hard, and I will not disappoint my royal highness empress and Lord Chu. I am turning eighteen last month and I am ready to dedicate my life to serve you and My Lord Chu" She is bowing to the floor.

"I will take your word…" Empress Chu is taking her word.

"Thank you, My Majesty Empress Chu," She is giving out her promise as she already makes sure her way through to get selected as one of the candidates. She has to pretend as a weak girl so no one will suspect her when she makes her move.

"Father, why we only make it as a concubine? Ni family even did not participate in any business and politics, yet they are giving out their daughter as the crown prince consort," Chu Yang tries to think the reason behind the wife choosing for the crown prince.

"I heard the rumour that the prince ask himself to be married with the daughter of Ni family. We will need to keep eyes on the girl as she is cunningly getting her way into the crown prince palace," Lord Chu is explaining to his daughter.

"Well… Chu Yi needs to get to his bed and bear him a prince to secure our position on this palace… Remember it," Chu Yang makes sure their plan already in place as soon as she enters the Palace in a few days.

The day of the marriages is coming quickly. The Ni Mansion is preparing their mansion as the bride of the crown prince. The Palanquin will come from the Palace with all the dowry and the musician to pick up the royal crown prince consort. The city also celebrates the royal marriage by decorating the whole town with something red. The decoration is every corner of the Capital which make the bustling city becoming livelier.

"Jie Jie… You are so lucky to get married to the Palace of Crown Prince… Have you met him? I hear every girl in town said he is really handsome," Ni Shi is boasting her word in front of Ni Lang. In reality, she is really angry with her cousin good fate. She wants to live in a luxury place like Palace even as a concubine.

"Why you said she is lucky? She is going straight to the hell…" Ni Qing is coming straight from Barack with Lin Yu and Ni Sheng on both of her side.

"Did you all just come back? Take shower and change to clean clothes… we are going to have the last family dinner before I enter the Palace…" Ni Lang turns her body to see them.

Ni Qing grins to see her beloved sister who is ready to turn into women and the future Empress. Ni Qing born from a concubine, but Ni Lang never treats her differently. She treats her the same treatment as Ni Sheng, her same blood brother. Ni Qing still remembers on the back of her hand when her mother passed away. Ni Lang is comforting her and treats her with love. She is becoming a mother figure for Ni Qing rather than the consort of her father.

"Let me greet your father first and I will use Ni Sheng room to get shower and change," Lin Yu pushes her to her room before he walks to Master Ni study room. His father is a close family friend with Ni Family. He is growing up with Ni Sheng and Ni Qing while he follows his family career as the youngest General in Dayu Kingdom's history. He has been promoted to General because of his heroic winning the last battle to defend Dayu Kingdom's border.

In her room, Qiao Nie already prepares hot water for her miss to take shower. In the barrack, she did not have the luxury to take hot water and they have to be quick to take shower in the General tent. Qiao Nie already changes to her maid uniform and prepares her miss outfit as a noble lady.

Ni Qing turns into a different girl when she dresses nicely and put light make up on her face. In the capital, no one can defeat her beauty. However, she decides to hide her beauty and stay in the barrack with all the soldier. There is a huge objection from her father consort because she is a girl and she needs to get ready to marry soon.

Furthermore, the old general Lin and Master Li Tzu reassure them of her betrothal with Lin Yue. There is the reason behind her education to support her future husband career as a war strategy. Even though she still learns about all the household duties, her personal maid is doing it for her. The only thing she loves to do is cooking to follow her late mother step.
