Bab 20: Meeting the Emperor
" How long?" Liu Hui Ying felt her legs tremble as she carried the heavy weight of being the Empress on her neck while her entire body was so tightly wrapped that she felt like she was going to star in one of those S and M shows.
The dress was so heavy that even all those sumo squats felt like baby steps in front of it.
" We are just almost there," stated Nanny Gong as she smiled at Liu Hui Ying with a patient expression that only pissed Liu Hui Ying even more.
" You said the same thing ten minutes ago, Nanny Gong," retorted Liu Hui Ying as she looked at the path that didn't seem to have any end at all, wasn't this palace a bit too big for the small courtyard she was living in?
Nanny Gong raised her hand and pointed at the wall that was at least a kilometre away from where they were as she smiling said, " The Emperor is standing right behind the wall, your majesty. Just push yourself a little then you will be able to meet the Emperor!"
' Who wants to meet that bastard?' snarled Liu Hui Ying inwardly, that man was lucky that he was born with a diamond spoon coated with platinum or else she would have smashed the only tree in his forest all the while enjoying the sight of him writhing in pain.
The cause of her predicament was that man! If he hasn't fed the poisoned wine to this woman then she would have never been dragged to this place! How she wished she could punch that guy just once!
" Just a bit more your majesty!" Nanny Gong pushed Liu Hui Ying forward with her hands while the latter simply trembled with all the weight that she was carrying, damn if this was her body she would have definitely walked this far without a hitch but ——
" I can't let's cancel it, I am done... I can't walk anymore," Liu Hui Ying felt like she was dying, she couldn't breathe nor could she walk it was as if she has been pushed to do at least a thousand squats in just a day.
" We are almost there, your majesty!" cheered Qui Ai as she dragged Liu Hui Ying to the front gate that was at least three kilometres away from the courtyard where she stayed. Feeling like every bit of her energy was drained, Liu Hui Ying leaned against Qui Ai as she huffed and puffed, this was a killer workout. They might as well buy a casket when they bring her back!
" Your majesty, please straighten up."Nanny Gong pulled Liu Hui Ying off Qui Ai's shoulder and had her stand up straight before tucking the strand that escaped past her carefully tied-up bun. " As the Empress, you have to be the embodiment of nobility and class, if you act like such then many Concubines will look down on you."
" Honestly, Nanny Gong with all due respect I don't really care if they look down on me." Anyway, she was going to escape from this place after finding out the reason as to why her soul fell in this time slip. Once she gets hold of the thing that made her transmigrate she was going to fly back to her world, who cares whether the women of that jerk's harem look down on her? Did she look like she cared about it?
" And stop crying," she firmly stated when she saw that nanny Gong was going to cry again. She softly held the hand of the elderly woman and wiped her tears. "If you keep on crying over such small things like this then you will have end up crying a river." Then she turned to look at the guard who was staring at her and her procession with a bemused look, all the softness that she had on her face vanished at once. " What are you waiting for? Are you waiting for me to send you an invitation to open the door?"
The guard felt his brows jump as he hurriedly opened the door, why was it that the Empress was so soft and careful with her nanny but she spoke to him as if she wanted to him skin alive?
" Calm down Hui Ying," Jia Li hurriedly stopped her from saying anything more. " You have to remember that we are in a place where we don't know anyone if you show off your hatred for men so much. Everyone will find out that you are allergic to them, you can't hand in such a big bomb in the hand of someone else."
Liu Hui Ying rubbed her temples and nodded Jia Li was right, she cannot hand such ammunition in the hand of just anyone but the problem was ——-
The door opened with a loud creak and a man dressed in a matching white robe with a red undershirt and embroidery came into her sight.
" Oh, he looks even good when he is dressed up." Jia Li gushed as she looked at the man over Liu Hui Ying's shoulders.
" Tsk what is so good about him?" Li Gong rolled his eyes as he crossed his arms in front of him. " He looks like a pretty boy at best, do you have to exaggerate so much?"
Liu Hui Ying didn't have any good feelings towards men, her mind simply distributed the men she came in contact with ——as someone she could bear and as someone she wished would be obliterated the very next second.
So, when her gaze fell on the Emperor, whose long hair was carefully tied with the golden crown, his respondent and bright clothes sitting a bit too well with his skin and those sharp phoenix eyes that were staring at her, she didn't even think twice before dumping in the latter list.
Even with that charming smile and handsome face, she wished that she wouldn't have to see him anymore.
"We greet the esteemed majesty!" The maids along with Nanny Gong bowed in front of the man and just when Liu Hui Ying thought that she wouldn't be bowing to anyone, nanny Gong kicked her in the shin and she dropped to her knees under the weight of the crown.
