King's Regrets
The Eps 44

On the day that consort Zhu became empress of the Qin state was appointed, all the officials and some important people witnessed the appointment of concubine Zhu in the palace hall.

The empress crown, which was once worn by Empress Yan, has now been worn over the head of consort Zhu. And now she is no longer a concubine, except the empress.

Like Empress Yan, consort Zhu was also given the title of empress Rui, which was believed to bring good luck to the Qin state in the future.

The news of the appointment of concubine Zhu as empress of Rui had certainly reached Xia Lian An's ears. And that makes him happy.

"In the end, concubine Ning won't be able to get what she wants." Xia Lian An.

"Miss is right, concubine Ning deserves her punishment." Xiao Wei who was kneeling at Xia Lian An's feet confirmed.

"I hope Emperor Shun treats concubine Zhu well."

"Yes miss, concubine Zhu is a kind and wise person. His highness the emperor would regret if he returned to squandering a very good person."

"You know a lot, Xiao Wei."

"I'm sorry miss, it's because I've been following you since I was 10. So I know about a lot of things."

"Yes, you're right."

"Miss, I'm trying to make some new cookies. Can you try this cake?" Xiao Fen brought some cakes that he made.

"You're making another new cake, Xiao Fen?"

"Truly miss."

Xia Lian An took one of the cakes that Xiao Fen brought, then ate it.

Xiao Fen looked at Xia Lian An anxiously, he was afraid that the taste of the cake would be unpleasant.

"It's pretty good, you just need to add a little sugar to make the cake taste sweeter."

"Well ladies, I'll try again."

Xia Lian An nodded. He felt happy because other than Xiao Wei, Xiao Fen was also with him.

Although they live simply, they are quite happy because they can do what they want.

That day, in addition to the day of the appointment of concubine Zhu to become the empress of Rui. It was also the day that Yu's city finance minister was arrested.

The eldest daughter already has strong evidence to drag the finance minister, who has been tax evasion for years for her own sake.

Not only will it get a severe punishment, all the wealth that the finance minister has was taken by the eldest daughter, which will later be used to develop the city of Yu so as not to be left behind from other cities.

And now Fei Ling, who usually stood arrogantly in front of people had to live in the countryside with her family.

"The happy fate of Yu's city finance minister's family is also over. The eldest daughter is great." Xia Lian An.

"Miss, don't you want to give a gift to concubine Zhu?" Xiao Wei asked.

"Gift? I don't even know what gift is appropriate for concubine Zhu who is now empress."

"You're right, everything he can get now."

Xia Lian An fell silent, she was thinking of something.

"Xiao Wei, you get me the black box in the storage shed."

Xia Lian An gave the lock of the warehouse to Xiao Wei.

"All right, miss."

Xiao Wei stood up and went to the storage warehouse beside Xia Lian An's room.

Shortly afterwards Xiao Wei returned with the black box in her hand.

"Is this the black box you mean miss?" Xiao Wei asked as he passed the box to Xia Lian An.

"True, this box."

Xia Lian An then opened the box, inside the box were two jade bracelets. One is green and the other is golden yellow.

"You, help me pack this jade bracelet for concubine Zhu." Xia Lian An gave Xiao Wei a golden-yellow bracelet.

"Then, this one's for concubine Nuan."

"Consort Nuan, miss?"

"Yes. Consort Zhu and concubine Nuan were already like two brothers. They had to protect each other inside the palace. So I'm gonna give you these two bracelets to strengthen their relationship."

"Already, already. After I write the letter, you quickly help me pack it up and send it to them."

"Well miss."

Xiao Wei then placed the two jade bracelets into the black box. She then helped Xia Lian An prepare the paper, ink and brushes for her to write letters.

While Xia Lian An wrote the letter, Xiao Wei looked for two smaller boxes and two pieces of cloth to wrap the box he was about to send.

"Xiao Wei."

"Yes, miss."

"You tell the sender that this will be given to Nuan's consort and consort in the royal palace. So they'll send it right away."

"Well miss."

"Let me take that to the palace."

A voice rang out from the front door of Xia Lian An's room that opened.

"The oldest brother."

"I'm going to the palace to hand over evidence of the treason of the finance minister, so let me just take him for empress Rui and concubine Nuan."

"Is it okay?"

"It's okay, I never did anything for you. After all, if it had to pass the person who sent it would be more time consuming."

Xia Lian An was silent, she then nodded her head.

"Then, sorry for bothering you."

"No need to be sad."

Xiao Wei then immediately packed the two boxes with two colors of cloth that matched the color of the jade bracelet that Xia Lian An gave.

"Didn't you want to congratulate Zhu's concubine directly, Lian'er?"

Xia Lian An smiled and shook her head.

"My new life starts here, and I don't want to remember a place that will remind me of that pain."

"I get it, I'll bring you a sweet you like if I come here again."

"Thank you brother."

"All right, I gotta get ready for tomorrow."

"Didn't you want to drink tea first, it just so happened that Xiao Fen was making a new cake in the kitchen."

"No need, I'll enjoy it when I get here again."

"Alright, then be careful brother."

"Yes, I understand."

The eldest daughter left carrying the two gift boxes that Xia Lian An had left her for concubine Zhu and concubine Nuan.

"Miss, why do you still call the princess a sister?" Xiao Wei asked the curious.

"He doesn't want me to call him by another call, nor do I know why the eldest daughter doesn't want me to be a stranger to him."

Xiao Wei nodded at Xia Lian An's words.

"Here you go, let's go to the market. I still have to make some clothes for all of you."

"Are you really going to make us clothes?"

"Of course, now the two pastry shops are doing well. There's a slight advantage, so you guys should also share it."

"Thank you for the lady's kindness."

"It doesn't have to be like that, you've been following me. So you're my responsibility."

"Well miss."

Xia Lian An walked out of the house accompanied by Xiao Wei.

Today was a great start to avenge the original body owner's heartache on concubine Ning, so it should definitely be celebrated.
