King's Regrets
Eps 18s
In the city of Zo, the eldest brother of emperor Shun had already heard what was happening within the royal palace.
The eldest daughter of the emperor Shun, who from the first moment she met the concubine felt dislike for being furious. She did not expect that not only concubine Ning had the two-headed snake trait, but her entire family was the same.
"Prepare the carriage, I want to visit my sister-in-law at the royal palace. I haven't seen the little girl in a long time, I hope she's not so depressed about all this." Said the eldest daughter to her servant.
"Good princess." Said the waiter.
"wait. Prepare a good present for empress Yan, also tell Xuan Yuwen about me going to the palace."
"Well, I'll do the princess."
The servant went to do what the eldest daughter said.
The eldest daughter saw her mother's jade bracelet before her mother died.
"Mother, I know the Qing prime minister's family is indeed not so good. But I firmly believe in Empress Yan, if she can change Xuan Yi one day. I beg you to always protect her."
The eldest daughter came out of her room and saw some flowers that Empress Yan had planted in her palace courtyard.
"The flower is very beautiful, like the one who planted it. Somehow Xuan Yi treated you there, until you experienced that terrible thing Qing Lian." The eldest daughter.
A little while later the eldest daughter's maid returned and said if everything was ready.
The eldest daughter, he then went to the gate of his palace and boarded a train assisted by his servant.
"Have you prepared a gift for Empress Yan?" Ask the eldest daughter.
"The princess. The servant prepared four garments with the best silk material and also one jewelry box, hairpin and mirror made of the best crystal. Is that enough princess?"
"Yes that's enough, I hope that Empress Yan will be happy with the gift."
"Yes princess."
The carriage that was boarded by the terrua princess began to walk towards the royal palace.
Actually the eldest daughter could live in the tao hua palace, but the eldest daughter refused. She preferred to stay outside the palace, especially after emperor Shun married consort Ning one week after marrying empress Yan.
To the eldest daughter, concubine Ning was a very ambitious person and also looked to have so many unfavorable plans on emperor Shun and the royal palace.
The eldest daughter had once advised the emperor Shun to be careful of concubine Ning, but the emperor Shun who was so affectionate towards concubine Ning did not heed what the eldest daughter said. Concubine Ning added that it was not good for emperor Shun to treat the eldest daughter to him.

In the palace of Yue Ji, Yan's consort Xiao Wei and her other servants were together performing a barbeque. Empress Yan deliberately invited her servants to eat together, because she felt she would be very bored if she did it herself while others just saw her eating.
"Come, you guys should try the mushrooms too. It's very delicious." Empress Yan said to Xiao Wei and the other servants.
"Your majesty's right, it's really delicious. Servants really never feel this, your majesty is great."
"really? Then when my mood is happy, we'll do this again."
"Okay, your honor."
From the front door connecting the front courtyard of the palace and the side courtyard of Empress Yan's room. The eldest daughter looked on in disbelief at what empress Yan was currently doing.
"Tu... The princess." Said one of the servants who saw the eldest daughter.
Empress Yan and the others turned towards the door.
Upon seeing the eldest daughter, the servants immediately stepped aside and retreated further from empress Yan.
The eldest daughter walked up to Empress Yan and looked at everything on the table.
Seeing the eldest daughter in front of him, Empress Yan immediately recalled how this eldest daughter used to treat the real Qing Lian.
After recalling everything, he had a plan for this eldest daughter to make it out a few days from the dull royal palace.
"Greetings to the eldest daughter." Said Xiao Wei and all the servants while bowing their bodies.
"Greetings to the eldest." Said Empress Yan while slightly bowing her body.
"stand. What are you doing here, Empress Yan?"
"Ampuni servant of the eldest brother, I am only comforting myself by barbeque with the servants."
"Comforting yourself?"
"True brother, after two poisoned servants in the palace, the servant felt so depressed and felt no longer wanting to stay in this palace. Emperor Shun also preferred to be together with concubine Ning, a servant really like not being wanted."
The eldest daughter was surprised by what Empress Yan said.
Xiao Wei was also surprised to hear that, because she knew that empress Yan did not want to see emperor Shun. So the emperor had never come to this Yue Ji palace.
"Xuan Yi this is already too much. You must be very depressed." Said the eldest daughter while holding the hand of empress Yan.
Empress Yan lowered her head while pretending to wipe away her tears that had not dripped at all.
"Your Majesty, the princess brought you some gifts. Hope your highness the empress is no longer too depressed." Said the eldest daughter's maid while carrying a brown box.
Empress Yan received the box and opened it.
"Oldest brother, brother doesn't need to do this. I just want to be outside the palace for a few days, don't want anything else." Said empress Yan.
"Thank you for the kindness of the eldest brother." Empress Yan bowed her body slightly.
"You don't have to do that to me. And act as usual."
"Good sister. Then would you like to barbeque with me?"
The eldest daughter looked again at the meat, fish, fruit and vegetables on the table.
"It looks different. All right, I'll enjoy it."
Empress Yan smiled and nodded.
Xiao Wei gave a set of tableware to the eldest daughter.
Empress Yan and the eldest daughter began to enjoy the ripe rabbit meat.
"You have completely forgotten me!" The little king who walked towards them.
Empress Yan and the eldest daughter looked at the little king who was walking while holding back her sense of regret.
The eldest daughter did not care about her brother's words, she returned to pick up rabbit meat and fish that had been cooked.
While Empress Yan looked at the two brothers.
"Today the eldest daughter and also her sister came. They don't just want to visit me."
The little king saw various food items on the table, he also saw there was meat and fish that had matured on the burning place.
"Xiao Wei, get the little king a set of cutlery." Said empress Yan.
"Okay, your honor."
Seeing that, the eldest daughter hit Xuan Yuwen on the head.
"Have you forgotten your ethics lesson?" Said the eldest daughter to her younger sister, Xuan Yuwen.
Xuan Yuwen who was in pain from being hit by the eldest daughter held his head and looked towards the smiling Empress Yan.
"Ah, greetings to sister-in-law. Forgive Yan'er for not directly greeting brother-in-law." Said the little king to Empress Yan while bowing her body slightly.
"It's okay, you don't have to be like that." Said empress Yan.
Xuan Yuwen saw the eldest daughter go back to pick up the meat and fish.
"Sister, if you take it away and sister-in-law won't be part. Xuan Yuwen.
"Your sister-in-law still has plenty of meat and fish."
Empress Yan chuckled.
Xiao Wei came and gave a set of tableware to Empress Yan.
"Here, eat slowly. Oldest brother is right, I still have plenty of meat and fish." Said empress Yan while giving a set of cutlery to little king Xuan Yuwen.
"Well, thank you brother-in-law."
Empress Yan whispered something to Xiao Wei, after which Xiao Wei told the other servants.
All the servants slowly left and left empress Yan who was barbeque with the eldest daughter and the little king.
Not long after, Xiao Wei came again carrying one of the best bottles of wine for empress Yan, the eldest daughter and the little king.
"Well, it turns out you've already prepared everything." The eldest daughter.
"I just want to enjoy this with the eldest brother, let's just say that today is my best day since the eldest brother and the little king are visiting this Yue Ji palace." Said Empress Yan while pouring wine into a small ceramic glass.
The eldest daughter saw Empress Yan so guilty that during this time the emperor Shun had never paid any attention to Empress Yan.
The little king who saw that, touched his brother's shoulder and nodded his head.
The two people were of course very fond of Empress Yan who had never done any dirty tricks and committed crimes within the palace. Although the family of Empress Yan was not good, but they could certainly pressure the family so as not to make things difficult for Empress Yan as long as she lived in the palace.
"Let's the eldest brother, the little king. We toast to this very rare and happy day."
Empress Yan gave two glasses of wine to the eldest daughter and the little king. Then he took his own glass.
The three toast then gulped down the wine at the same time.
Meanwhile inside the He pavilion, concubine Ning who heard that empress Yan was barbeque with the eldest daughter and the little king became angry.
Concubine Ning threw the tea glass on the table.
"How dare Empress Yan be happy over my family's grief!"
Concubine Ning's eyes were full of hatred. She thought because empress Yan, her brother was dead.
"Empress Yan, I won't let you live quietly and happily."
Concubine Ning's hands clenched and she also gritted her teeth in restraining anger at Empress Yan.
