章節 73: 73. The efforts they make for the tea party.
Su Mingmei looked at the invitation given by her head maid with a calculating cunning smile. She had no idea that Empress Dowager Jing would reopen her palace for a tea party next week. This young woman had no idea that she would invite her too, base on the fact that the Emperor was not very interested in her since she was entering the Inner Palace. This young woman had to tries so that the woman who was supposed to rule in the Inner Palace beside the Empress liked her so that she could be closer to the Emperor.
"Will mistress attend this tea party?" asked Chun Lan; Su Mingmei is the head of the Palace.
"Of course, this concubine must be able to make Empress Dowager like this concubine so that it can help me approach the Emperor."
"Chun Lan, you have to help this concubine prepare for the tea party. This Concubine must give Empress Dowager a very good impression over Empress and the other concubines."
"Mistress, Chun Lan heard that Empress Dowager doesn't like Empress Song." Chun Lan informed the Ming Concubine about the rumours of Empress Dowager not liking the wife chosen by the Emperor.
"Oh-really?! How come this concubine has never heard of this rumour?"
"This rumour has been reported for a few years back, maybe someone is trying to eliminate it because it involved the Emperor's private matters. If I remember correctly, this Maid remembered that Empress Dowager did not agree with the Emperor who was still a prince at that time to marry Empress Song because she came from the jianghu families circles. Empress Dowager at that time had a big fight with the Emperor because the Emperor still insisted on marrying Empress Song even at their fight's cost since then they were at the 'cold war' and never reconnect for a long time. Chun Lan thinks that maybe Empress Dowager will hate Empress Song, which is the reason for her bad relationship with the Emperor."
"Oh- that's good news for me. Good job to remember it, Chun Lan."
Su Mingmei smiled cunningly at the news her head maid gave her. She might be able to further ruining the relationship between Empress Dowager and Empress Song using this news. No mother-in-law would like a daughter-in-law who made her son fight with her just for defending her in front of the mother-in-law.
"Wife, My Imperial Mother sent this invitation to the tea party at her Palace for you." Yu Fengyao gave the tea party invitation from Empress Dowager to Su Qingyi who had just finished bathing and dried her long, thick hair. Su Qingyi took an invitation letter made of expensive brown paper and had a lotus fragrance which the Empress Dowager's favourite fragrance from her husband's hands. Yu Fengyao took a thick towel from his wife's hand and helped dry his wife's thick and long hair while Su Qingyi opened and read the invitation letter from his Imperial Mother. Su Qingyi read inside the invitation letter containing an invitation to attend a tea party held by Empress Dowager at her Palace, along with other people she invites. The tea party will be held next week.
"Husband, can this wife accept this invitation from Empress Dowager? This wife has never been invited to attend a tea party anywhere else let alone attend a tea party invitation at the Palace."
Hearing the question from his wife, Yu Wang felt his heart was like being stabbed by a knife. In his heart, he cursed members of the Su family who made his wife never be able to socialize with other ladies. He must support his wife if he likes tea parties like this. Unfortunately, his best friend group is still not married so he can't make his wife get along with their wives. Maybe he should encourage all his friends to marry their fiancée faster.
"Don't worry, dear, this Prince will help you to prepare yourself to attend the tea party in this palace. This Prince has invited an experienced old Palace maid to help you learn the etiquette of the Palace briefly, just to help you prepare in this tea party. My wife also does not need to be too tense because my Imperial Mother is not too difficult to please. Imperial Mother will definitely like you."
Su Qingyi heaved a sigh of relief hearing that her husband would help her prepare. This young woman knew that she would not be able to refuse to attend the tea party event hosted by Empress Dowager because she was the legal and only wife of Dowager's second son. If she refuses, Empress Dowager may try to influence and damage her good relationship with her husband. That should not have happened, because Su Qingyi was quite fond of marrying Yu Wang now. Being Yu Wang's wife allows her to live comfortably.
"Alright, this wife will accept all the arrangements that my husband does." Su Qingyi smiled sweetly making Yu Fengyao swallow because he felt tempted.
Inside the Empress Palace, Yu Fengyan hugged his wife's body which looked rather sleepy inside the pavilion near the lake. Since Song Muli was diagnosed as pregnant woman, this young woman often feels sleepy, so she almost sleeps all day long. Fortunately, even though she was two months pregnant, she had no difficulty conceiving the first time. Imperial doctor; Song Zhiliao said that it was all because she had a pretty good foundation as a woman who came from the martial arts family. That's why despite being two months pregnant, Empress Song doesn't get much trouble and just needs lots of rest. Despite being an Empress, Song Muli was not much involved in managing the Inner Palace because the Emperor sent many maids and eunuchs to help him take care of the Inner Palace matters since Empress Dowager handed over Inner Palace power to Song Muli when Yu Fengyan ascended the throne as Emperor.
"Mu-er, how is your body doing now? Did you get any morning sickness attacks? This Emperor read a book about women's pregnancy before and the books said that women in their early pregnancy, morning sickness attacks will make women feel very difficult in their daily life."
Yu Fengyan sounded anxious asking his wife's condition. Hearing anxiety from her husband's voice, sleepy Song Muli only smiled faintly, lazy to answer.
"Mu-er?"
"Your Majesty, Empress Song seems to be sleeping again." Zheng yuan; The Emperor's head eunuch whispered to the Emperor after he looked at the Empress' face who was sleeping on the Emperor's lap.
Hearing the whisper of the head eunuch, Yu Fengyan gently changed the position of his wife's body and carried Empress inside to lay the woman on the bed so she could sleep better. After laying his wife down, Yu Fengyan walked out and called his wife's head maid; Chu Lin.
"How are Empress' preparations regarding the Empress Dowager tea party?"
"We have all prepared according to your wishes, Your Majesty."
"Hmm-prepare well, don't make any mistakes."
"We will, Your Majesty."
"Alright then, you all can go. This Emperor will accompany the Empress to sleep."
