Chapter 135 - 133. Preparation for the Huge Wedding II (1/2)

Third person POV

The servants quickly ran into the kitchen after they finished their shift, they looked around the kitchen and saw that it had already been cleaned. The chef looked at them with weird eyes and asked.

Chef: ” What's wrong?”

Servants: ” Oh! Uncle! Uncle! Her Majesty Empress said that there was some leftover of that soup. Where is it?!”

Chef: ” Soup? ….. Oh~ The snow fungus soup?”

The servants nodded their head eagerly, the chef felt guilty when he saw their eyes were sparkling with hope.

Chef: ” Uumm… sorry, there was nothing left.”

Servants: ” WHAT?! WHY?!”

Chef: ” Hear me out first. Her Majesty Empress told us that we can eat the leftover after we delivered the soup to His Majesty and Lu Gongzi so we ate it. BUT! Before we could eat a spoon of the soup, His Majesty ordered to deliver all of the leftovers to his room right that instance.”

Servants: ” NOOOOOO!”

Servants: ' We didn't think that our master would be our rival. Her Majesty Empress is ours!'

But then they thought again that their rival was the cold hearted emperor, they quickly dropped their hope and sobbed on the floor. And in that night, people could hear the cries of the griefing servants from the kitchen.

Weisheng: ' My wife's cooking is the best.'

(A/N: I made Her Majesty Empress Dowager and Her Majesty Empress so it will be easier for you guys to tell who they were talking to and about. The servants still call Hong er ” Her Majesty Empress” behind her, it is not a typo.)

Hong er woke up rather early than usual to prepare for her wedding. Dozens of maids came into her room with boxes of accessories and a wedding dress that was beautifully displayed on a mannequin. The maids didn't expect that Hong er had woke up, usually noble ladies didn't wake up that early in their daily life.

Maid: ” Miss Xu, You have woke up. Do you need anything else?”

Hong er: ” Nothing for now.”

Since Meiyun and Huayun had always been the one to take care of her in the morning, she didn't really know what to ask for the maids. Meiyun and Huayun take turns in guarding Hong er's room, Meiyun guarded alone from 10 PM until Hong er woke up at 3 AM after that Huayun woke up and changed place with Meiyun at 3.30 Am. Meiyun went to take rest for 4 hours then woke up again to continue her job.

(A/N: There is a slight change bc I think back the moment Hong er was asleep and both Yun sisters guarded her room all night, then a question popped out on my mind. ” When did they sleep?” so from now on they didn't guard Hong er's room together, there were shift between the Yun sisters and the shadow guards.)

At first Hong er was worried of their health especially Meiyun, but Meiyun said to her that it was her that didn't want to sleep at night because she was afraid that the monster under her bed would crawl out and eat her when she was sleeping. Hong er didn't believe Meiyun's words but Huayun comforted Hong er that Meiyun's a nightowl and not a morning person. Even though Hong er was still skeptical, she decided to believe in them.

Huayun: ” Young Miss?”

Huayun called out to Hong er as she saw that Hong er was dazed out.

Huayun: ” Is there anywhere that's uncomfortable, Young Miss?”

Hong er: ” A-ah, nothing. Just old memories came to my mind.”

Huayun hesitantly took a step back, she worriedly looked at Hong er.

Huayun: ' Young Miss must be thinking about General Sheng.'

Huayun's thought was half right as the moment Hong er looked at the wedding dress once again, she became aware of the fact that she was getting married to someone she never even met before. She only knew a few things about the emperor, his name was Liu Weisheng and he likes dark color especially black. He has a tall and big stature which means he could catch the eyes of the girls, his height's estimated to be more than 2 meters. He only has one magic and it was dark element, despite that, he still could overpower everyone in the battlefield and even after he became the emperor, he didn't stop giving advices and strategies to the military officers.

The first time Hong er heard this information from her elite forces, she was quite taken aback by the similarities between the emperor and Sheng ge. But she shrugged it off as she thought it was just a mere coincidence.

Maid: ” Miss Xu, the bath is done.”

Hong er: ” En.”

Hong er stood up and walked towards the bathroom, the maids helped Hong er to disrobe and saw a plenty small scars on her body, nevertheless they were not that noticeable. They had heard that their new empress was a fighter which explained how muscled Hong er's body was.
