Loving the Naughty Empress

Chapter 196 - The Fight In The Harem

"Outside this wall, yes that rule is for outside my palace wall. In this house, there is not tittle or power. All is the same in my place even his tittle for example the emperor. my food is strictly checked for standard and grow by my own people. It will be free from poison and if it got the poison then I am the first one going to die," Ni Qing is telling them about her intention.

"I see. However, your food is really delicious and make me so happy," The prime minister is telling her the compliment for her cooking.

"I even ignore the palace kitchen food because of the empress cooking. This is really good," Consort Liang is praising the food made by her.

"I do not think someone like my food after his concubine want to own my palace," Ni Qing is telling without put a brake into her word.

"Did you eavesdrop this morning? Did you get jealous?" Jin Yu is seeking a motive of her answer.

"I am jealous. I will see who will produce vinegar first," Ni Qing is accepting his challenge to show who is jealous first.

"I am conceding defeat, my empress. No one can get closer to you," Jin Yu is grabbing her closer to appease her anger.

"However, I must praise consort Liang to be able to hold the new concubine intact with their personality. I won't be able to hold my anger if I have to deal with them," Ni Qing is telling everyone on the table.

"Like father like daughter," Prime Minister is making his remark to join the lady to gossip.

"I never know that you will interest with a girl talk like this, Prime Minister. If you like to join us for some gossip then I will be happy to invite you to our evening tea session," Ni Qing is smiling to the prime minister.

"We have a new member here. But I agree with the prime minister. The daughter behaviour inside the palace almost identical with their father," Ni Sheng is adding the fuel to the fire.

"I got constant headache every time they biker inside my palace wall. They are really top of the class for arguing who is the best to serve the emperor. they are scheming each other way to climb into the Yellow dragon Palace bed chamber," Consort Liang is seeping her tea with her elegant pose.

"Wow, I think about consort Liang and myself who are not interesting to climb into the emperor bed side," Ni Qing is chuckled in front of everyone and ignoring the brewing emperor sat next to her.

"No one can climb to my bedside while I am climbing to your bedside," Jin Yu is telling her about his intention.

"You wish. How can this humble person be the same with the prestigious girl in your harem who is the daughter of your minister?" Ni Qing keeps poke to the emperor heart. Everyone in the dining table is quiet and no one dare to utter even a breathe out after hearing the word from the empress.

They are scared the emperor will chop the head of the empress because of her own word.

"I am not dare. You are the phoenix rise to lead this country and the mother of this country. How dare this humble person to offend this beautiful phoenix?" Jin Yu even lower himself to the extent of shameless. If his wife can be shameless to the extend of the underground. He has to be in the equal level with her.

"Thank you for the compliment but the dragon of this country is complimenting this humble pregnant woman," Ni Qing is sipping her tea and smiling to see her husband to change beyond shameless.

Everyone in the courtyard drop their jaw to hear their emperor become so shameless and undignified in front of everyone.

The new eunuch and palace maid who hear their emperor changes to the shameless emperor in front of the empress.

They do not dare to be offend the empress if the emperor even at the empress disposal. Eunuch Wang and Eunuch Li know it and smile to see everyone pale face.

"Yue, can you give me more fruit?" she is asking the God of war to get her some of fruit instead of her personal maid.

"Do you need more tea, my dear?" Jin Yu even asked his wife to top up the tea on her empty cup.

"Forget it. I am tired. I am going to rest in my chamber. You all can go back to work and do not slack off for this country," Ni Qing is retreating to her room.

The emperor and the other ministry go back to their workplace as instructed. The maid in the empress palace is cleaning up the whole place.

The four new concubines are enjoying their afternoon tea in the lotus garden. They are spending time together to check about who get pick as the emperor companion in the night. However, no one know yet from Eunuch Wang.

They are drinking their tea while enjoying the dessert while they are keeping a wall to their own agenda.

Some of the palace maids are walking through the garden and they are not realising about the concubine in the nearby pergola.

"Do you hear this morning the empress make the emperor serves her tea and the God of war serve her fruit platter? The emperor even ask the empress to flip his name to climb her bed among all her harem," One of the palace maids is making gossip with her friend while carrying some tray of necessity.

"No wonder, she did not want to reside in the empress palace near the emperor quarter. Are you serious about our emperor lower himself to the empress? Our tsundere emperor?" her friend is asking about the reality of the story.

"Everyone is really scared after witnessing about the emperor behaviour in the afternoon. Now, we have to wary to serve the empress and make sure not to make any mistake if we still want to work in the palace," The maid is stopping her step and seeing her friend.

"Thank you for reminding me. But we never see the empress and not anyone know her appearance," The others maid is asking her about the empress appearance.

"I am not sure also because I am never meet her. how can we meet with the emperor and empress when we are only a small maid in this palace?" The maid is laughing to her friend before they continued walking to their original destination.

The concubines are hiding behind the bush to listen to the maid conversation and get wary with their empress domineering tactics to trap the emperor.

  If it is liked this then their wish to climb into his bed become scatter to the ground because of the empress domineering character.

"What should we do, Sister?" Xuan Nu is looking at her two sisters.

"We have to join our hand together and make sure the empress does not dominate the whole emperor regardless of her position," Sun Jin is telling them with her straightforward voice.

"I agree about that we have to join hand together. We have to help each other and find out about this domineering empress. How dare her to keep him by herself," Tan Xi is getting worked up with her empress behaviour.

They are discussing their plan to snatch the emperor and make sure to get rid the domineering empress from the emperor side.

They are agreeing that their first step is making the emperor to untrust the empress. If the emperor still covering for the empress than it will be impossible from them to remove her.

They are planning to remove the empress with their wicked way and make sure to get the full attention of the emperor.

"Should we invite consort Liang to join us?" Xuan Nu is asking them about their plan.

"We can make her the empress. She is really lucky to serve the emperor first and last time and get pregnant with his seed. She seems does not get to ambitious as the head of the harem," Tan Xi is giving them her thought about consort Liang.

"How about if she gets her son to become the crown prince? How about our own son?" Sun Jin is asking them back. She has to think about her own son future and succeed the throne if she has to support him.

They are agreeing on her opinion. They are originally in this place because of their own agenda to seduce the emperor and get their family to the power on the court.

Now, their temporarily cooperation can benefit them in term to remove their common enemy. But they will need to compete and success into their own goal to make their family to usurp the power and make their son to succeed the throne.

They are parting away to their own palace and enjoying the beautiful breeze of the victory on their side.. it is better to fight together and use three brains rather than to fight alone.
