King's Regrets
The eps 47
It had been two more months after crown prince Zhang last came to Yu city.
Today Xia Lian An got an invitation from crown prince Zhang, as the Ming state palace was about to hold a birthday party of hers. So crown prince Zhang wanted Xia Lian An to come as his special guest.
Xia Lian An who received the invitation was convinced, if emperor Shun also got the same invitation.
If Xia Lian An had not come, it would have disappointed crown prince Zhang. But if he came, he would meet with emperor Shun who he did not want to meet. Moreover, the emperor of the Ming state must have remembered that he had been the empress of the Qin state.
"I really hate the thing that makes such a dilemma." grumbled Xia Lian An who was still holding the invitation from that crown prince Zhang.
He was confused if later the emperor of the Ming country asked as to what came to crown prince Zhang's birthday event. He has no good position attached to him.
Xiao Wei and Xiao Fen came, they brought wine and other fruits that had been washed for Xia Lian An.
"What's wrong, miss?" Xiao Wei asked who saw Xia Lian An's unfavorable look.
"I got an invitation from master Jiang. In about a week she'll be throwing her birthday party."
"Will miss be there?"
"I don't know, if I hadn't come he would have been disappointed. If I come, I'm sure Emperor Shun is invited too, and I don't want to meet him."
"If the lady does not want to meet the emperor's majesty, then the lady does not need to come there." Xiao Fen.
"Xiao Fen is right, miss." Xiao Wei added.
"I can't if he doesn't come, he'll feel very disappointed in me."
Xiao Wei and Xiao Fen looked at each other, as they did not understand the thought path of their miss.
"Hahh. Xiao Wei prepared a suitable gift for master Jiang."
"Well ladies, I will prepare a set of clothes with the best silk material." Xiao Wei.
Xia Lian An was silent for a moment, she then asked Xiao Wei not to make clothes, but Xia Lian An asked Xiao Wei to buy ingredients to make bags of fragrances from the best materials.
"If it's clothes, he'll have plenty. I'll make the others."
Back Xiao Wei and Xiao Fen stared at each other.
"Let's get me all those ingredients quickly." Xia Lian An said to Xiao Wei.
"But miss..."
"Nothing but again, I'll make a fragrance bag for master Jiang myself."
"Well miss, I'll buy it."
Xiao Wei and Xiao Fen came out of Xia Lian An's room.
"Xiao Wei, is our lady convinced that she wants to give a pouch to crown prince Zhang?" Ask Xiao Fen.
"I don't know either, but it seems that Miss doesn't know the meaning of a woman giving a gift of a pouch or a handkerchief to a man."
"That's it, if we don't buy her what she wants. I'm afraid he'll be mad at us."
"You're right."
While Xiao Wei and Xiao Fen were out buying the materials that Xia Lian An wanted. Inside her room, Xia Lian An was drawing a small dragon, which was the emblem of a child of the emperor.
After so, Xia Lian An with a fluffy smile looked at the results of her scribbles on the paper.
"Hmm not bad, it's more breed than having to give her clothes." Xia Lian An said happily.
It was not long before Xiao Wei and Xiao Fen returned to bring all the items that Xia Lian An needed to make a fragrance bag.
"Miss, we're back." Xiao Wei.
"Bring it all here, I've already made a picture for the bag I'm going to make."
Xiao Wei and Xiao Fen entered Xia Lian An's room.
"Help me put that gold thread on the needle."
"Do you want me to help embroider this picture on the cloth?"
"No, I'll do it myself. You help me cut this black cloth and just put it together, I'll embroider it myself."
"All right, miss."
Xiao Wei and Xiao Fen did as Xia Lian An said.
After that they left Xia Lian An, to embroider the little dragon on a black cloth with gold-colored threads, according to which Xia Lian An had drawn on the paper.
During this time Xia Lian An had never sewed let alone embroider, whether it was in her modern era life maupum after she entered Qing Lian's body.
Several times his finger was pierced by a needle due to not being careful and wrongly inserting the needle. Even so Xia Lian An did not stop until he managed to make a small dragon for the fragrance bag decoration for crown prince Zhang.
"Huh, this is exhausting. Just make it like this." Xia Lian An said as she leaned on her body from fatigue.
Xia Lian An placed the results of her embroidery on the table, then looked at her finger which had several needle marks. There was even blood that had dried up.
"Miss, this is so good. You're so... Oh my God, your finger miss."
The surprised Xiao Wei saw Xia Lian An's finger full of needle puncture immediately took the medicine inside the box and applied the medicine on Xia Lian An's finger.
"Akh, shh."
"Sorry, is it very painful? Please hold on a little." Xiao Wei said anxiously.
"It's okay, it just hurts a little."
"Miss, miss already knows she's not good at embroidery. Even I never saw you embroider. Why do you do it?"
Xia Lian An saw Xiao Wei crying as she saw her miss fingers full of stab wounds.
"Xiao Wei, I'm fine. Tomorrow it'll heal."
"Miss."
"All right, I'm sorry. I won't do it again."
Xiao Wei did not respond to Xia Lian An's remark, she continued to slowly apply the medicine on Xia Lian An's finger.
After applying the medicine, Xiao Wei helped Xia Lian An continue making the fragrance pouch.
Xiao Wei put a small rope into the bag and made a knot to be easily pulled and tied.
"Alright, I'll find a box to store this pouch." Xiao Wei.
"Thank you Xiao Wei."
"If the lady is right to thank me, please don't do anything to hurt the lady again."
"Okay, I get it."
Xiao Wei smiled, he then went to look for a suitable box for the fragrance pouch.
Xia Lian An who was feeling exhausted lay herself on the bed, she looked back at her finger that had been wrapped by Xiao Wei.
"Just embroider a little already like this, it is better to practice martial arts than to have to do the work of women in this ancient era." Xia Lian An muttered.
The exhausted Xia Lian An slowly closed her eyes, and fell asleep in her sleep.
***
In the afternoon, when Xia Lian An woke up. He did not see the bag of fragrances he had made on the table.
"Where's the bag, why isn't there?"
"Miss, what are you looking for?" Xiao Fen asked who had come to bring a snack for Xia Lian An.
"Xiao Fen, did you see the bag of fragrances I had made on the table?"
Xiao Fen shook his head "No miss, maybe Xiao Wei saw it. Because this afternoon she cleaned the lady's room."
"Call Xiao Wei here."
"Well miss."
After placing the snacks and tea on the table, Xiao Fen came out to look for Xiao Wei.
After a few minutes, Xiao Wei came to Xia Lian An's room.
"Miss, you looking for me?" Xiao Wei asked.
"You keep the bag of fragrances I made this afternoon?"
"Surely, miss, I saw the lady sleeping very well. So I didn't wake you."
"Then, where's the bag?"
"I keep it in your closet, miss."
"Huh, okay. I think it's gone."
Xiao Wei smiled at the mistress's concern for the fragrance bag. Like it was a very precious thing for him.
"Where's Min'er?"
"Young man went to Zo this afternoon, he said that he would see a cake shop there and also see if there was a store to sell or not."
Xia Lian An nodded "Alright, I understand. You can come back."
"Well miss."
Xiao Wei left Xia Lian An's room.
"Make me afraid. I've made it hard, it would be a pity if it was really gone." Xia Lian An said to herself.
Xia Lian An had no idea what his meeting would be like with emperor Shun. After more than 4 months he came out of the royal palace.
