GRAND MARSHAL PAMPERED WIFE 49 49. The Present Emperor's Inneryard.

The political situation of the previous emperor needed a lot of support from many upper-cla.s.s aristocrats so that the previous emperor who was the father of emperor Yu Fengyan was forced to accept many concubines from the families of the n.o.bles who suppressed the previous emperor.

The political situation got better after Yu Fengyao went to war and made a name in the military as an influential military officer. Using the military power gathered by Yu w.a.n.g, the upper-cla.s.s aristocrats began to diminish their schemes to interfere in government politics. Knowing how hard Yu w.a.n.g mustered the military strength, the current Emperor chose to compete on the throne so that his brother's hard work would not be in vain.

Now, as the emperor who had only been on the throne for few years, the politics in which upper-cla.s.s aristocrats were interfering had begun to diminish so much that Yu Fengyan did not need to fill his harem with the daughters of their families. Yu Fengyan only had three women at first in his harem. They are his legal wife; Song Muli, two concubines; Fei Zhulin, Mo Yuns.h.i.+. But then the daughter of the Su family used a devious plan and make he forced to put her inside his harem.

Since he realized that he was trapped by the Su family to put Su Mingmei into his harem, the Emperor had never visited this young woman in the Concubine Palace given to her. His anger and disgust towards the young women who behaved like white lotus all this time made Yu Fengyan order Zheng Yuan; His eunuch who was also the head eunuch at the Palace to sent the young woman to live in the concubine palace farthest from Emperor residence palace and also the Empress Palace.

Prang!

The sound of a broken ceramic vase could be heard echoing inside the Mingmei palace hall. Su Mingmei, who was now the third emperor's concubine, looked very upset to hear the report of one of her maids who was one of Su's family who had long been a maid in the Palace. The Su family sent many young girls from their branch families to become maids in the Palace so that they could find out many things in the Palace since the time of the previous emperor. They also sent the girls with the intention that they too could try to attract the attention of the men of the royal family. After Su Mingmei became the current Emperor's concubine, the Su family sent several maids in the Palace from their side to serve the young woman.

"Why does the Emperor only meet the Empress?! Why not meet me? This one younger than her!"

This young woman was annoyed because ever since the Emperor touched her the first time, he had never touched her again. Su Mingmei had never met the Empress, many servants in the Palace had never seen her wandering because according to what she heard the Empress did not like to roam other than in her Palace. Although they had never met, Su Mingmei knew that the Empress was older than her. Touching her beautiful face as the most beautiful young woman in Zi Empire, Su Mingmei was sure that she was far more beautiful than the Empress.

Su Mingmei took her anger out in the main hall of Mingmei palace, she did not realize that there was a figure dressed in red standing on a branch of one of the large trees facing the main hall window. The figure wearing a veil covered most of her oval face and only showed a pair of clear and soft eyes shaded by dense eyelashes.

The figure saw Su Mingmei vent her anger and curse the Empress enthusiastically. The figure is the figure of a woman with attractive body shape, slim and graceful like a willow tree.

The figure of the woman seemed interested in seeing the anger that was delivered by Su Mingmei to the Empress.

Srak!

The sound of branches being trampled near her made this figure turn to see who approached her. The figure of the female shadow guard who sometimes followed her was seen standing on a tree branch not far from her.

"Empress-"

"What's wrong Yunyi? Why are you here?"

"Empress, why do you love to running away from the shadow guards? We are all in charge of protecting you!"

Yunyi whispered annoyed at the behaviour of her young mistress. The empress loves to run away from her guards and goes to play alone.

"Ah, this one just wants to see the new concubines received by the Emperor. This one heard that this new concubine is very beautiful. So this one is curious to see."

"Empress, you know that Emperor only loves you, so you don't need to be jealous."

Chuckling, Song Muli said; "Who says this one is jealous? This one can't be jealous of this new concubine. You know when this one marries the Emperor, this one makes a Wedding oath with him. If the oath is broken for the cultivator the consequences will be very severe."

"So, why Empress here, then?"

"As this one said, this one curious about her. As others said, the new woman is beautiful, even when she's mad."

Yunyi's expression changed dramatically, her young mistress's fetish seemed to recur again. The empress has a fetish for beauties. Her reason for accepting the Emperor as her husband was also because the Emperor had a beauty that captivated her when she was a little girl. This young woman also likes to collect people who have beauty around her as maids or eunuchs. The emperor learned of his wife's fetish for beauties and was forced to accept it. If the emperor refused the accept empress fetish for beauties, Song Muli would disappear and could not be found and this would make the emperor surrender.

"Empress, you cannot like this young woman, Su Mingmei is too petty and narrow-minded."

"Yes, it seems so. This one won't accept her on this one's side. This one just wants to see her beautiful face."

Taking a deep breath, Yunyi was relieved the Empress would not put Su Mingmei near her side otherwise she will be afraid that young woman will harm her mistress.

"Empress, the Emperor is looking for you."

"Ah, is the Emperor finished the morning court?"

"Yes."

"Alright, this one will return."
