Loving the Naughty Empress

Chapter 37 - The Biggest Rival

Eunuch Wang can not confront his master at the moment in front of his new wife. He will keep it in his heart and confirms it later. He is meticulously serving his master necessity with eunuch Li and he also instructs Xiao Nie to get her miss necessity.

"Wang, prepare my carriages. We are going back to the Capital city. I will delegate this matter to Old General Lin who can take care and clean up the rest," Jin Yu is carrying his wife to their bed before walking to get ready.

Xiao Nie rushes to assist her miss to get ready and put her white peach dress. Xiao Nie makes her hair as usual before Jin Yu is telling her to change her hairstyle.

"You are a married woman, and you need to make your hair accordingly as the costume. How dare you let your hair down as you are not yet belonging to someone else," Jin Yu is instructing Xiao Nie to change her hair to tell everyone about her position. She will be the next empress for this nation.

"Your highness… We are not married legally, and, in society, I am still an unmarried girl. I cannot make my hair as a married woman yet until you come and take me inside your Palace with a red sedan," Ni Qing is revoking his plan. She told Xiao Nie to continue to style her hair as usual. This time, Ni Qing is covering Jin Yu bite mark on her neck with some white powder and half of her hair down to cover it. 

She is standing up to fix his clothes and put his small crown on the small bun on his silky black hair. Jin Yu needs to bend down his knee for Ni Qing to be able to put it upon his head. The dragon emblem on his golden crown on his head has the same pattern as his official robe and their jade ring. Jin Yu walks out from their tent and imposing a devilish charm on his aloof expression. He is imposing his natural royal aura from his body and make every soldier bow down when he passed them. No one can defeat his domineering aura from his presence.

He enters the general tent where everyone with happy face due to their winning strike last night. They hear about the news of the Empress pass away. They are giving him deep condolence especially Yu Hong who is a friend of Jin Yu. However, Yu Hong needs to tell him for his wish to marry Ni Qing as his empress. Yu Hong wants to repay her with his life for saving him and his son. He sees her this morning with her white peach dress and her long silky hair on his shoulder. Today, she looks radiant with her simple makeup which makes her simply astonishing. She looks so elegant and beautiful in today outfit.

"Jin, I am going to ask you something?" Yu Hong is standing up with the help of one of his subordinates.

"Yes… I hope you can repair your country and rebuild it from the ruins. We can support you and you can liaise with General Lin," Jin Yu told him solemnly. General Lin is acknowledging his task with the nods from his faces.

"Thank you for your offer but I would like to propose one of your citizens to become my Empress to tie our country bond closer," Yu Hong is proposing something else and tries to put it on the nice word. 

"That is a good idea actually. Who are you having in your mind? I will personally arrange it for you…"

"Can I marry miss Ni Qing as my empress?" Yu Hong looks at her sincerely. Jin Yu and Lin Yue stand up from their seats.

"Ahhh… We are back again to the usual routine? Sis, why every general, King and crown prince want to get married to you? You can make our family rich if you scam through their dowry and ran away," Ni Sheng is laughing out loud to hear the proposal and the reaction from Lin Yue and the emperor. Ni Qing only can close up her face to see all of their reaction.

"Can you all sit back, please…? Your highness King Bai Lan, I feel really honoured when you are asking my hand for marriage, but I have to refuse your proposal. I already have someone as my future husband. I hope you will find another girl as your future wife," Ni Qing said it politely and make the two-man calmly retreated to their seat.

"I think even as a king, I could not persuade this beauty in front of me…" Yu Hong sat back and laugh. However, Jin Yu facial expression changes from hospitality to grim due to his word.

"I will take Ni Qing and Ni Sheng back with me to the capital due on the Empress burial. General Lin will wrap up everything in here before giving me the report in the Palace," Jin Yu is giving his instruction without blinking his eyes and change of facial expression. He is standing up and walk out after acknowledging Yu Hong. Ni Qing and Ni Sheng are following him to go out.

Ni Qing is ready to hop into her horse next to Ni Sheng when Jin Yu pull her back and carry her into his carriages. This time, he changes to sit in the carriage and Zhang will lead the horseback to the capital. The royal carriage is arriving this morning with the news about the Empress death. Ni Sheng is amused with his emperor treatment toward his sister. He has heard all sort of news about his madness and cold treatment toward the woman. Hence, the last few days in the camp with him and his treatment toward his sister makes Ni Sheng questionable about his act. It seems something wrong or happening behind his back. He needs to investigate it as he can see his gentle and loving eyes toward his sister. If his suspicion is correct, his dear friend Lin Yue will take the biggest hit and it unavoidable with The emperor as his rival.
