Chapter 195 - The Name Tag

"I am not. The concubine is all Zhao Yu idea. you can blame him for everything.," Jin Yu tries to shift the blame. He really forgets about his new concubine in the harem.

"Your highness, what can I do to make the emperor to get more concubine? Do you think that I will be able to persuade him to take another wife if he did not want it?" Zhao Yu is telling his empress while bowing.

"I know it. I can't do anything when the emperor wants to spent time with another women. Wang! Can you bring all the name tag for the emperor to flip tonight?" Ni Qing is telling the startled eunuch who is scared to even look at the emperor.

"Your highness, I do not understand about your request. What name tag?" Eunuch Wang try to do some diplomacy in front of them.

"Consort Liang, do you remember about the new concubine's name? I can write it down and he can circle the name," Ni Qing did not stop to corner her husband.

"Qing, I will do anything to appease your anger. Do you want me to draft the imperial edict to kick them out from the palace now?" Jin Yu is pulling her into his embrace without thinking about the other presence in the room.

"are you really a benevolent emperor? do you want everyone is throwing egg to me? By you doing like that means that I am a cruel empress and domineering. I do not want to be branded as mean empress," Ni Qing is faking her tears. Lin Yue is laughing to see her drama start again.

"Qing, who dare to brand you with that kind of tittle?" Jin Yu is caressing her bulge stomach to comfort her.

"Actually, the concubines already tell you a domineering empress who like to monopolize the emperor," Consort Liang is telling them about the concubine's word which make her really angry on another day.

"Looks at their word. I do not care but you have to go to your concubine tonight. I am going inside to rest up," Ni Qing is standing up to walk inside her room.

"I will need to check into your condition and check some of your accu point," Mo Feng is telling her about his original intention for Ni Qing treatment.

"Come. I am so tired and Eunuch Wang, escort the emperor to his new concubine palace," Ni Qing is instruction them before she left to the room. Mo Feng is going and follow her inside the room.

"All of you, I will deduct all your allowance this month to make the empress angry. Wang, prepare the side room for me," the emperor is instructing his loyal eunuch.

Everyone is bowing to the angry emperor who is leaving to the side room. They are all leaving the empress palace to their place.

In the morning, Ni Qing is waking up a little bit early and asking Xiao Nie to take her to walk around the palace.

They are going to walk around the lotus garden. Apparently, there are Chen Yu and Xuan Nu on the garden to enjoy the peony blooms.

Ni Qing is wearing a maternal robe to cover her body. No one can see her big bump stomach with the cover of her cloak.

She is getting some of the peony to take back for some dessert. She is getting the biggest flower that already in their full bloom.

"presumptuous and insolent! Who do you think this flower belong to that you dare to pick the flower!" Xuan Nu is telling her from the gazebo.

"I am sorry, but this flower belongs the earth and the emperor. I do not think he will be object with the whole scenario of me taking the full bloom flower," Ni Qing is replying back to these two ladies with their expensive clothes.

She must be the new concubine of Jin Yu. This time, Ni Qing wants to give some lesson to her husband.

"If you want to meet up with the emperor. He just finished with her other concubine in the outer ring palace. He is going to the court soon. Quick My lady to catch the emperor," Ni Qing is giving them the hint.

They did not care any longer with Ni Qing and stand up to catch their emperor in the new concubine place.

Ni Qing is giggling to see the two coquettish concubine who is rushed into the emperor. She really wants to see his facial expression.

She is rushing back to her palace and sneaking in the back to see the two concubines are trying to ask Eunuch Wang for the audience.

Eunuch Wang does not have any power for refusing the two concubines in the main hall.  So he is putting them in the main hall while he informs the emperor.

Jin Yu is reading his scroll in the morning to find out his wife walks outside to pick up some flower.

He is waiting for her to come back before he left to the court for the morning meeting. She left him in the bed and walk outside.

Jin Yu is not happy with the concubine presence in her palace but as the wise ruler, he has to accommodate everyone.

He is walking to the main hall to entertain the two concubines in the main hall who is enjoying their tea.

Ni Qing is hiding behind the door and peek into the main hall without getting caught by the emperor.

The two concubines are bowing to the emperor when he enters the room. He sits on the top of the room with his majestic pose.

"What brings you here? This area is forbidden for you to enter," Jin Yu is telling them straight away.

"I am sorry, your highness but we really want to meet you. We are your wife and you do not grant use time to meet up with you," Xuan Nu is bowing and speak freely to the emperor.

"May I know your name?" Jin Yu is asking with his annoyance expression.

"My name is Xuan Nu, your highness," She is answering with her coquettish voice in the morning and really confused with her position as the concubine.

"Your highness, may I be bold and asked you about this palace. I like it and can I stay in here," Sun Jin is asking boldly to the emperor.

In the same time, Eunuch Wang is saving the situation. He is informing about the time for the court. The emperor is leaving the palace and told them to seal this palace from the harem. He did not want his wife to suffer with the concubine.

Eunuch Li is escorting the concubine to outside the palace. He is politely closing the door and not letting them to come again.

Ni Qing is coming out from her hiding place and goes to the kitchen straight away to make the cake from peony and some lunch.

She is making a sweet and sour fish, some vegetable and pork stir fry. She also making some tofu soup with some vegetable.

Everyone is coming just after finish from court. The emperor is not happy to see Zhao yu, prime minister, Ni Sheng, Lin Yue and Mo Feng are in his wife palace to have lunch.

They can smell the aromatic smell of her cooking from the court room. This time, Zhao Yu is getting cornered by the prime minister and he did not have any choice rather than bring him to have the lunch.

Consort Liang also come in the right time to join her for lunch with her big stomach. Her pregnancy is the same time with Ni Qing.

Mo Feng is checking into her pulse and happy to tell about her condition and the baby are healthy. In the same time, Mo Feng is checking into Ni Qing pulse before he opens up his wooden box and give her the golden elixir.

She is taking the golden elixir with a happy face before Xiao Nie and Consort Liang maid serving the rice for everyone.

They are starting to eat the food while chatting around and they are praising the food made by Ni Qing.

The food is finish until there is not even drop of oil on their plate. The prime minister even looks so surprise to see the emperor is eating with them and he did not bother about their position.

"You look startled Prime Minister?" Ni Qing is asking him while she giving the empty bowl to the maid.

Meanwhile, Eunuch Li and wang are preparing the tea to pair with the peonies cake for dessert.

"The emperor supposedly eat by himself with a special meal made by special team who already test by the safety team," Prime minister is explaining her about the rule in this palace.
