MY WASTE PRINCE 14 In The Palace

"Respect to Huanghou (Empress) and Huangtaihou (Empress Dowager). May Heaven give blessings to Huanghou and Huangtaihou. Hopefully Huanghou and Huangtaihou are given a very long life, "Xiao Junw.a.n.gye and I said in a loud voice.

"Thank you. You two stand up! Please sit down! "Huanghou said to us. My husband and I obeyed her words.

When I stood up, I could see Huanghou's face. She is very beautiful and looks younger than her age. I remember when I meet her in first time in Palace Banquet two years ago. It's hard for me to believe that she is the biological mother of Huangtaiji because of her appearance.

But, I feel stressed for a moment because I see her expression showed that she dislike me. Her gaze was very sharp on me. For a moment I felt that my body was s.h.i.+vering, but I tried to calm myself down. We sat to the left of Huanghou. I didn't see Yun Jing Fei in this room.

"If you are looking for your sister, she is not well. I forbid her to come," Huanghou spoke in a voice that sounded arrogant. I was forced to smile at her words.

Actually I feel happy because she is not here. I will have difficulty keeping my att.i.tude before her if she is here. Anyway, I still can't accept the fact that Yun Jing Fei is Huangtaijifei now. I still think of her as the person who usurped my position

"Hopefully Huangtaijifei will get well soon," I said to Huanghou to look modesty. She frowned.

"I don't like insincere words. Actually, I forbid her to come because I'm afraid she will get a bad luck in here," Huanghou spoke viciously.

Obviously she is insinuating me. She said that I would have a bad influence to Yun Jing Fei. I was very upset after hearing her words. I want to reply to her words with sharper words.

However, Xiao Junw.a.n.gye held my hand tightly. Obviously my husband asked me to be quiet. I sighed and forced myself to smile.

"Xia He brought a present for Huanghou, hopefully Huanghou likes it," Xiao Junw.a.n.gye spoke then looked at me. I nod my head. I looked at Ling who was in the corner of the building. Ling approached me and gave a box covered in red cloth. I accepted it and walked towards Huanghou.

"May Huanghou like the gift from Xia He," I said to her while giving the box to Huanghou's servant who was standing to his left. The servant opened the box and showed it to Huanghou. Huanghou nod and looked like she was satisfied.

"I didn't expect a stubborn woman like you know the ethics when you meet your husband family," she said to me and I smiled. I'm not angry because she said that I was a stubborn woman. I was annoyed if he said that I was the bearer of bad things. But stubborn? I know that is true.

"This tea drinking device is very interesting. I rarely see tea sets made of wood can give an elegant appearance," Huanghou said again. In my heart, I thanked to Yao Mama for preparing a present for Huanghou. If she no prepared it for me, Huanghou would embarra.s.s me. I don't want the rumor about me to increase again.

"I feel very happy if Huanghou are satisfied with this present," I said in a soft voice. I am grateful because Yao Mama prepared the right gift for Huanghou. Huanghou pulled one of the jade bracelets she was wearing. She gave it to me.

"I like your gift," Huanghou said to me and I accepted the bracelet with a happy heart. Getting a bracelet is a good sign.

"Thanks to Huanghou," I said to her. She nodded her head.

"I also brought a present for Huangtaihou (Emptess Dowager)," I spoke again and took the wooden box in yellow cloth. I gave the box to Huangtaihou's servant. The servant opened the box and Huangtaihou nodded her head. She looks satisfied with the gift I gave to her

"Valuable ginseng," she gave a compliment. I smile. Compared to Huanghou, Huangtaihou was more friendly than her.

"Hopefully Huangtaihou will be healthier by consuming this ginseng," I said to her. She smiled then took off one of her jade rings and give it to me.

"Don't be stubborn anymore," Huangtaihou said in a whisper.

"I will obey Huangtaihou's words," I said to her. She nodded her head. I returned to my seat. I looked at Xiao Junw.a.n.gye and smiled at him. He looks happy.

"Then you bring the white cloth?" Huanghou asked and her words surprised me. Her words mean that she asked for a sign of my chast.i.ty. My face immediately turned pale. My husband and I have not consumed our marriage. However, my husband looked calm. He himself approached Huanghou and gave a simple wooden box that Ling brought.

"Respect to Muhou (Imperial Mother), this is the white cloth," Xiao Junw.a.n.gye said. Huanghou opened the box and her face looked relieved.

I'm relieved that Xiao Junw.a.n.gye prepared the white cloth. I don't know where the blood stains came from in the white cloth. I'm grateful because my husband is thinking about my reputation.

"I think this stupid woman has given a green hat to her husband and this kingdom. I should really believe in Huangtaiji (Crown Prince) and not the rumor," Huanghou said and I knew that she also had time to believe in rumors that I was not virgin anymore.

I sighed. I'm not angry because Huanghou called me stupid. I myself regret my actions first. I don't understand why smart women like me do such stupid acts. My suicide attempt made people think that I am lose my chasity and feel embarra.s.sed because Huangtaiji didn't marry me.

"But, did I hear wrong? You call me, Muhou. Doesn't Bixia forbid you from calling me Muhou?" Huanghou looked at Xiao Junw.a.n.gye. I wrinkled my forehead because I didn't understand why Huanghou said that.

"Please forgive me, Huanghou. I accidentally said it, " Xiao Junw.a.n.gye spoke. I can see my husband's face looks sad. I became sad to see his expression too.

'Why Bixia forbid my husband to call Huanghou as Muhou?' I asked my self.
