King's Regrets
The Eps 11
The day the arrival of the crown prince of the Ming country and prince Xia arrived, everyone had prepared to welcome the arrival of the two of them.
Emperor Shun was already sitting on his throne waiting for the two of them to enter his royal palace.
"Where is Empress Yan?" Said emperor Shun to his servant.
"Please, your majesty, the empress said she'd be a little late."
"That woman, is it that she doesn't want to sit next to me?"
Emperor Shun's hand squeezed the throne chair firmly.
Outside the magnificent palace buildings, the two horse carriages of the two neighboring kingdoms stopped.
Prince Xia descended first from his chariot, followed by the crown prince of the Ming state who also descended from his chariot.
"Welcome to our palace prince Xia and crown prince Zhang." Xuan Yuwen greeted the two important people together with the eunuch chief.
"Thank you king Xuan, we are very honored to have a welcome from you." Prince Xia.
"Please, the emperor's majesty has been waiting for prince Xia and crown prince Zhang within the royal palace."
"Hahaha, this brother of yours has always not changed."
Prince Xia walked towards the royal palace together with Xuan Yuwen, while crown prince Zhang who had been silent since then looked to the right and left.
"Your highness crown prince Zhang. What is your majesty looking for?" Ask the head eunuch who was still standing in front of the crown prince.
"It's okay, I just saw a little change to your palace." Crown Prince Zhang said reasoned.
Without waiting for another word from the eunuch chief, crown prince Zhang walked towards the royal palace and was followed by the eunuch chief behind him.
In front of the door of the palace room, Prince Xia was waiting for the crown prince. He wanted to enter the royal palace together with crown prince Zhang.
"Crown prince Zhang, were you looking for Empress Yan?" Prince Xia whispered.
"No, I just feel the royal building of this Qin state is a bit of a change. So I'm looking around for a minute."
Prince Xia who knew that was just an excuse started to feel displeased.
"Prince Xia and crown prince Zhang arrived." Speak the bodyguard's head in a slightly loud tone.
Everyone inside the palace welcomed the arrival of prince Xia and crown prince Zhang who walked into the palace.
"Greetings to the glorious emperor Shun, may his majesty live a long life." Said prince Xia and crown prince Zhang simultaneously.
"Welcome to my work, you are my friends so there's no need to be too shy."
"Thank you, your majesty." Crown prince Zhang.
Some people came to bring some boxes from prince Xia and crown prince Zhang as gifts from their country.
"Your highness, this is the 1000-year-old ginseng that I got from the Wang mountains, has many medicinal properties and keeps my noble body healthy." Prince Xia.
"Thank you Prince Xia, may your country always prosper."
"Thank you, your majesty."
"Your majesty, I brought you a rare ice lily from the Yang hill. Ice lilies were famous for their properties to keep the emperor from various poisons and if placed in the room, would make the emperor feel calmer and sleep more comfortably." Crown prince Zhang.
"It's a nice gift, thank you crown prince Zhang."
After giving a gift to emperor Shun, crown prince Zhang and prince Xia sat down where they had prepared.
"The welcoming party for the two friends of the Qin state in glorious, let's enjoy this feast happily." Emperor Shun said as he raised the glass in his hand.
"Thank you for your noble kindness." Say everyone.
Beautiful and sexy dancers enter the palace and music begins to play.
Everyone enjoyed the festive welcome.
20 Minutes later the dancers had finished their first dance and left in front of everyone.
"Your majesty, I do not see your majesty Empress Yan. Is your highness the empress okay?" Crown prince Zhang.
"Empress Yan is fine, thank you for the concern of his highness crown prince Zhang."
"Your highness crown prince Zhang, I heard that the Ming country is currently making an increase in trade. Is the Ming state willing to cooperate with my country?" Prince Xia's words shifted the topic.
"Your highness prince Xia is right, because soon we will experience last autumn changing winter. It would be very difficult to get vegetables and fruit in our place.because our Ming country is located in the highlands and our land is not as good as the land of other countries."
"If so our Qin state will also help advance your country's trade. We have plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits every season, the Qin state will definitely send each 5 tons of fresh fruits and vegetables to the Ming state."
"Thank you for the kindness of the glorious emperor Shun." Crown prince Zhang.
"Your noble consort Yan, concubine Nuan, and concubine Zhu arrived." Said the royal guard.
Hearing that everyone looked towards the door of the royal palace room.
They looked at Empress Yan who was wearing red clothes, looking so beautiful and dazzling. Many of them came to praise the beauty of Empress Yan.
Behind Empress Yan was consort Nuan and concubine Zhu, who wore the clothes of Empress Yan's choice. Make them no less beautiful.
"Greetings to the emperor." Said the three beautiful women.
"Thank you, your majesty."
Empress Yan raised her head, she then turned her head to the right side and saw prince Xia and crown prince Zhang sitting there.
"Greetings to prince Xia and crown prince Zhang. I'm sorry I couldn't welcome you guys so well." Said empress Yan with a smile.
"It's okay, your majesty, we understand that your highness consort must not be used to a party like this." Prince Xia.
"Thank you for the magnanimity of prince Xia and crown prince Zhang."
Crown Prince Zhang looked at Empress Yan without blinking, the woman he secretly liked standing right in front of him. Makes her heart very happy.
Emperor Shun who saw Empress Yan smiling gently at both of his guests felt displeased, it was because he had never seen Empress Yan smile like that at him. Not even a little smile.
Empress Yan was aware of the disrespect of emperor Shun, but she did not care because that was the purpose for which she was deliberately late to enter the palace.
After slightly talking to their two special guests, empress Yan left and sat down on her layover.
In fact he was very unhappy sitting next to the extremely arrogant and selfish emperor Shun. But for the sake of the Qin state and avenging emperor Shun was also Ning's concubine, she was forced to do so.
Not long after empress Yan and the two imperial concubines Shun came. The chief of the guards told her that concubine Ning had arrived.
"Look at this emperor's favorite concubine, even she had deliberately arrived later than her empress. Really very arrogant." Said Empress Yan to emperor Shun.
"She's late for dressing up, so that's perfectly natural." Emperor Shun defended himself.
"Oh so it is, concubine Ning does look prettier today. I can't match him either."
"Don't be Empress Yan."
"Your Majesty need not worry. The glorious companion of the true emperor has arrived, I hope your majesty can be happy."
Yet concubine Ning gave her greetings to emperor Shun and empress Yan. Everyone saw Empress Yan standing up and coming down from her layover.
Empress Yan stood in front of prince Xia and crown prince Zhang.
"Please forgive me, I feel unwell today. So I can't accompany prince Xia and crown prince Zhang any longer."
"Ah, it turns out that the noble empress is not feeling well. Alright, it's better that your highness rest soon." Prince Xia.
"Thank you prince Xia. Here is already concubine Ning who will take my place to accompany you guys, I hope not to make prince Xia and crown prince Zhang offended."
Hearing that, anyone would feel that the late arrival of concubine Ning was very inappropriate and made the new empress Yan who was accompanying the emperor Shun feel uncomfortable.
Everyone whispered while staring at concubine Ning with their dislike gaze.
Concubine Ning who felt humiliated in front of emperor Shun and everyone squeezed her clothes tightly.
"If so, forgive me for having to come back soon." Said Empress Yan again.
"Okay, please your highness."
Empress Yan turned around and looked at concubine Ning with a mocking look.
Emperor Shun who saw Empress Yan not listening to her words became furious.
"Qing Lian, how dare she embarrass me in front of everyone."
Empress Yan had indeed intentionally done that, she stepped her feet out of the royal palace party room gracefully and happily because it had already embarrassed emperor Shun and concubine Ning.
"This is just the beginning, you guys will get the pain that Qing Lian has felt."
Xiao Wei who was following Empress Yan from behind did not understand why her empress was doing that.
This was the first time emperor Shun had made Empress Yan his companion to welcome royal guests after all these years of her becoming an empress, but Empress Yan was instead displeased and allowed concubine Ning to take her place there.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Why did your majesty let concubine Ning replace her highness at the party?" Xiao Wei.
Empress Yan paused and looked at that still very innocent Xiao Wei.
"Xiao Wei, from the beginning the emperor never considered me. He wanted me to be there because prince Xia and the crown prince came together. Emperor Shun just didn't want to embarrass himself there."
"So that's why his highness let concubine Ning arrive late and replace the empress there?"
"True, Xiao Wei in the future we will have a difficult day. Emperor Shun and concubine Ning will not remain silent to accept my treatment earlier."
"Your Majesty, will the emperor come back to beat you?"
Empress Yan rubbed Xiao Wei's head "She will never again be able to touch me like she used to. So you don't have to worry, Xiao Wei."
"Your majesty."
"Come, we better get back."
"Okay, your honor."
"Ordered the kitchen chef at the palace to make some food for me."
"Okay, your honor."
Empress Yan again walked towards the palace of Yue Ji, where she stayed during the royal palace.
