Arc 2: Chapter 3

'Who's the M?' Hè Meifeng asked.

[Her personal shadow guard. Hàn Renshu.]

Hè Meifeng nodded and closed her eyes. 'It's just right beside her.'

A week later...

"Consort Dài Yuan- Consort Dīng Xiuyang- Greetings." Hè Meifeng bowed in repect to them and sat in a chair with the two of them. They were like beautiful roses's in the garden. Charming and very beautiful group of three women. They were like a painting from afar.

Their servants then brought snacks and tea as they bowed and went a bit farther to not hear their conversation.

"Im so glad you could make it, Meifeng!"

"Feng-er, I brought you a gift for thanks from last time. If you don't want I could give it to consort Xiuyang." Dài Yuan shyly gave Hè Meifeng a box in which Hè Meifeng opened it to see a wonderful hair clip with gems in a form of a flower.

"I really can't have it!" He Meifeng said as she smiled and pushed it towards Dài Yuan.

"I insist!" She pushed it back towards her.

"It's too beautiful for me! I'm not fit to wear something like this."

"You look great with it!" She insisted.

"Fine... this consort thanks consort Dài Yuan for her gift."

"Boo! Why does Meifeng get a cute nickname but not me? You even got her a gift!" Dīng Xiuyang pouted as she glared at Dài Yuan. Once enemies, now friends.

"You didn't even do anything! Why should I give you a gift!?" They then started bickering but they looked like they were having fun as they continued. Hè Meifeng just watched them bicker as she nodded along as she drank tea and ate some snacks.

Hè Meifeng's servant then went up to the three beauties and coughed to grab their attention. "Ahem!" They stopped what they were doing and looked at Hè Meifeng's maid with curious gazes. They never heard Hè Meifeng's maid speak a lot but once she did, it was very soft and gentle.

"Eunuch Sun has told me that the emperor will be coming here soon. He is looking for consort Dīng Xiuyang. Eunuch Sun has also told me that someone is looking for Dài Yuan." She spoke.

"Thank you, Hàn Shu. You may go now." She bowed and went beside the two other maids who were talking with each other.

An imposing, arrogant and cold man with a lean and strong build arrived with his cold red eyes searching for a certain someone. Once his eyes landed on Dīng Xiuyang's, he released the breath he was holding as he saw her unharmed and not a single hajr out of place.

"The consort greets the great emperor. May he live ang reign a long and prosperous life." The three consort bowed towards him.

He nodded at the three of us as Dīng Xiuyang' maid grabbed a chair and brought it to the table, followed soon after by Dài Yuan's maid with another chair for the other guest.

"What does the emperor want with consort, Dīng Xiuyang?" The emperor's eyes soften as he looked at Dīng Xiuyang.

"I can't even visit my consorts?" His eyes glinted a bit of mischievousness as he smiled causing Dài Yuan to be shocked by it. She then masked her emotion and acted like nothing happened.
