Loving the Naughty Empress

"Are you going to stay here for tea and dessert or go back to your duty, your highness?" Ni Qing is asking the emperor. she is making the dates cakes for dessert, and some cut fresh fruit to cleanse the palate. Xiao Nie is serving warm flower tea for them to cleanse the mouth from the oily food.

"I am staying when he is staying…" Jin Yu is adamant to leave his wife palace regardless of their condition. Yesterday, a general is proposing to his wife and now, the doctor is in her palace. He did not know who else will come to her palace to propose to his wife.

"Don't you have any work to do or any commitment, your highness?" Mo Feng is asking the emperor who is putting the fruit on to his wife plate.

"I Do not need to work in the afternoon…. You have to go back to your hospital, right?" Jin Yu is replying back toward his opponent with his low cold tone.

"I have more leisure time in hand rather than your highness… today is my time to check into royal highness empress condition…" Mo Feng is replying back to Jin Yu.

"Have you both done arguing? I am tired and this time for my afternoon nap…" Ni Qing is standing up from the dining room toward her common room. She is sitting to get Mo Feng to check her pulse. Mo Feng is using the material to cover her wrist with the cushion from Ni Qing wooden box.

Mo Feng is confirming about her pregnancy which is about six weeks toward the seventh week. She is signalling toward Mo Feng by pulling his robe with her left arm.

Jin Yu feels something a missed between both of them, but he can't catch them or proof it. he keeps his eyes as sharp as the eagle.

"Is something wrong with my wife?" Jin Yu is asking from the doctor. Jin Yu has to admit the ability from Mo Feng is equal with his personal physician.

"Nothing… Just a usual check up to check if someone tries to poison her like usual… how can you not competent enough to prevent her to get hurt?" Mo Feng is attacking the emperor again.

"Is not about competency? I know that I am wrong because of my negligence," Jin Yu is making his voice softer.

"Enough… can you and your highness leave me alone so I can rest up?" Ni Qing is trying to find excuse for them to leave her. she wants to take her nap as her body start to get drowsy.

"I did not sleep really well last night… so I summon you to serve me on bed…" Jin Yu is saying to his wife without any restrain. He has to use his trump card as emperor who is taking his right to spend time with his wife.

Ni Qing is ignoring his request and leave them in the common room. Jin Yu is following her into her bed chamber in the nick time before she locks the door.

"How dare you to refuse to serve the emperor? this is a national crime…" Jin Yu is telling Ni Qing for her effort to lock him out.

"Why you never believe on me? Why you always pushing the blame to me and not trusting me?" NI Qing is getting all emotional for nothing as her pregnancy hormone start to kick in.

"I believes you and I am sorry if I ever hurt you by making someone else pregnant… I will make sure that I am going to repent all my mistake to you for the rest of our life," Jin Yu is taking her into his embrace. He is not going to allow her to get angry to him any longer.

However, Ni Qing is pushing him away. She still does not want to get close with his husband before the little bean get stronger inside her womb. She needs Mo Feng to make her the concoction to make little bean stronger. She does not want to lose her baby again.

"Are you still angry?" Jin Yu is looking at his wife before they got interrupted with the loud knocking on the door.

"Your highness, your presence is needing immediately in the court as there is attack on the border…" Eunuch Wang is calling the emperor from outside the bed chamber.

"Look… Your duty called… go and fix the country and we will talk about our problem…." Ni Qing is telling him to go and settles the problem. Jin Yu is getting wary with her condition, but he needs to settle the problem of his country.

Jin Yu is agreeing to leave her alone inside her room and he left to meet up with his minister regarding the news comes in the border. No one dares to attack the Dayu Kingdom so easily.

Ni Qing is getting alert because she did not remember to read about any attack or movement in the border. She needs to meet up with Mr Zhou to know the real talk in the town. She is using her disguise as Long Man and walk outside from the secret door. She is going outside after making a pillow to pose as her inside the bed.

This time Xiao Nie is following her into the tea house where she is sitting in her office to speak with Mr Zhou.

"What is the condition of the border? How can there no movement in the report?" Ni Qing is asking from Mr Zhou.

"Madame, this thing just happens this morning…. There are people who stealing the rice from the capital, and they are using Dayu Kingdom soldier uniform and get find out by the Liang convoy who out of sudden kill them and claiming the soldier attacked them. I bet the Liang convoy just do not want their cover to be blown up. apparently, our soldier in the border sees their fellow get killed and attacking the Liang convoy of Crown prince. This is a whole mess," Mr Zhou is reporting her for all the whole situations. It did not take long for them to hear a knock on the door.

Brother Ah Seh is standing in front of the door who he opens himself without any permission.

"Brother Seh… what are you doing in here?" Ni Qing is looking at him with her serious expression. She can't take down her guard with this old fox.

"You are asking my help to investigate the missing rice in capital… I come to bring you the news… it is relating to the crown prince of Liang and the rice is stored in the border between Dayu Kingdom and Liang Kingdom… do you want me to robe them?" Brother Seh is asking him with his face closer to her face. Ni Qing got nauseas from the smell of wine on his breath, but she manages to hide it by pulling her body backward.

"Brother Seh... Yes, you can.. but I am also needing your help for something…" Ni Qing is telling the man with her eyes glistened for the evil plan. The only thing to stop the crown prince of Liang is making him to do something unappropriated.

They are speaking until a bit late. Ni Qing is explaining her plan after they are ransacking the cave for the rice. Brother Seh is leaving her alone after he needs to carry the plan from his sweetheart. She has to go back to the palace before the Almighty vinegar factory will make the whole sea of vinegar.

They are going back through the secret entrance to their bed chamber to find the room is still dark and no voice. Ni Qing is telling Xiao Nie to turn on the light when she got taken back.

Jin Yu already sits on the chair inside the bed chamber with his dark quiet expression. Xiao Nie is leaving the bed chamber quietly as she got scared with the emperor expression inside the room. As soon as she closes the bed chamber door, she got a nudge from Eunuch Wang.

"Where were you? The emperor almost sends the whole Dayu Kingdom soldier to find the empress…" Eunuch Wang is asking Xiao Nie for the real reason for their disappearance.

"I am following the empress to go outside the wall to do some business…. How can the emperor finish the court matter quickly?" Xiao Nie is asking back to the eunuch who is smiling toward the naïve maid.

"We are going to eat dog food again the whole night…. Or the emperor will get kicked out again by the empress…" Eunuch Wang is telling Xiao Nie.

"I am so scared… he looks like someone that is going to kill someone or eat them alive," Xiao Nie is telling eunuch Wang for the emperor expression.

"The emperor has been waiting the whole evening for the empress… only her can make the emperor waiting without losing the head," Eunuch Wang is making a remark.
