Loving the Naughty Empress

In the middle of the night, Ni Qing is sleeping inside the arm of the emperor. She is opening her eyes after few hour naps after their sexual activities. She can hear a sound on top of the roof. She is moving her body and tries to find out the source of the sound.

"Stop…. There is XI Kai and Zhang that hunt them down. You are the emperor woman and not my security guard," Jin Yu is telling him with his hoarse voice and hold her body back.

"Can I apply as your security guard?" Ni Qing is laying around on top of her husband.

"You can if you can defeat me on the martial art fighting match…" Jin Yu is answering her with his hoarse deep voice while closing his eyes.

"Let's go…" Ni Qing is jumping out the bed with only her inner clothes and get ready straight away while Jin Yu is still sleeping in the bed. He seems ignoring his wife full energy.

Ni Qing can not wait in the room when she is actually going outside the bed chamber for some fresh air. As soon as she is stepping outside the line of palace maid and eunuch in front of the door. Eunuch Wang and Eunuch Li are bowing to her.

"Where are you going?" Eunuch Wang is asking her when she is walking toward the gate of the Yuan Xing Palace. Xiao Nie is going to follow her to walk outside the palace. Jin Yu does not realise his wife is walking out from the palace.

Ni Qing did not answer his question and walks around when she saw some suspicious movement in the palace. She is following her really quietly to see that she goes to the concubine's palace. She is going inside one of the concubine's quarter.

She can smell something good from inside the palace. Ni Qing is piquing her curiosity into the palace. In there she can see four concubines are chatting and talking happily while enjoying a hot pot on the courtyard open area. They are startling to see Ni Qing in their residence.

"Who are you? Why are you entering our residence?" one of the concubines is asking sternly.

"I am apologizing…. I just enters the palace and I kind of lost and hungry… can I join you?" Ni Qing is stopping her maid to announce her royal title. She wants to make friend in this palace wall and do not want to make more enemy.

"Come… Come… we are in the same boat. Welcome to the cold palace…. Xiao Lan, get two more set of cutleries. Come sits and join us," Concubine Rong is telling her. Ni Qing is coming and sit next to her.

"My name is Ni Qing… what is your name, sister?" Ni Qing is asking politely.

"My name is Rong Na, this is Min Yun, Yoon Na, and Fen Ju. We got send inside this palace by our parent to become the concubine of the emperor, but we even never get to see our husband face… Yoon Na is the only one really lucky to meet him during his court time. And Fen Jun here is really crazy with our emperor," Rong Na is explaining to her about their misery to live inside the palace.

"How many girls live in this palace to be exact?" Ni Qing is receiving the bowl of rice and empty bowl for the soup.

"I am the latest addition in this harem. We are having a low rank in this harem and have a little chance to serve the emperor. there are twenty fives girls in this palace. If you are entering the palace then you will be the twenty-six girls," Rong Na is telling her about the whole harem situation. They do not know that Ni Qing is the only wife the emperor has in his heart.

"Yoon Na, did you follow the walk of the emperor to get your dose of the day?" Rong Na is asking her about the daily activities.

"So, Sister Yoon Na and sister Fen Ju are always wanting to meet with the emperor. how about you sister Rong Na and Min Yun?" Ni Qing is asking after swallowing the food inside her mouth.

"I am not interesting at all with the emperor. I am coming inside the palace so I can learn and read more while my parent will leave me alone. Sister Min Yun also the same reason to enter the palace," Rong Na is explaining to her.

"Today, the emperor did not pass his normal route to his palace. I think he is moving to the new palace for the only woman in this palace who can monopolize the emperor," Yoon Na is explaining to them.

"What do you mean by monopolizing the emperor?" Ni Qing is trying to defence herself from the whole wrong image. She is trying to shake the emperor from her side so she can sneak outside the palace.

"That is the whole gossip. The emperor will listen and accommodate all her request even sometimes it is a bit outrageous. However, he will make it happen for her and make her to stay with him inside his residence. The empress even not allowed to stay overnight in his residence until lately…" Fen Ju is telling the story to them while keep stuffing her mouth with the food.

"Oh… I heard the empress got pregnant with the emperor seed but now stay inside the jail because of the empress dowager. Don't you girls thinking it is a little bit a miss and mean. Who is throwing his pregnant wife inside the jail?" Min Yun is asking them about the question regarding the news she hear from the maid.

"How about if the baby is not from the emperor?" Ni Qing is asking them back as if she want to make her husband's name still intact.

"You seem know more than share on your plate. Who are you?" Yoon Na is looking at her sharply to find her answer from this stranger lady.

"I hear it from the palace maid and my maid about all the gossip. I was bored as if nothing to do inside the palace. The set time for meal and everything else can kill me from the boredom…" Ni Qing is complaining to them. She is almost crazy with Jin Yu who always keep set time for everything while she always like to move around freely.

"I know it… I almost turn crazy the first few weeks in this place if there is no them in this residence," Min Yun is giving Ni Qing some shrimp inside her bowl to comfort her.

"You can come here anytime, or we can come to your residence and have meal together," Rong Na is telling her and patted her back to comfort her.

Ni Qing is nodding in agreement and smiling to hear her new friend who is encouraging her to be brave to live in this palace. She is spending time until really late in their residence before she decides to go back to her palace.

She can be lost if she is walking around alone in this huge palace. At least, Xiao Nie is with her and can help her to find their way back to their residence. However, she gets startled when she just enters into the courtyard, Jin Yu is sitting in the middle of the courtyard.

His solemn expression is making Ni Qing got goosebump in her spine because his cold gaze toward her.

"Where were you?" Jin Yu is asking her like a father Interrogating his missing daughter.

"I was out for some fresh air, and I got lost into your harem residence, so I make a new friend there…" Ni Qing is explaining to her suling husband.

"Do you think you can tell lies to your emperor?" Jin Yu still asking her with his cold tone.

"I am not lying… do you want me to call them? Do not surprise if they are going to pester you with all of their affection to meet with their idol?" Ni Qing is looking at him with her little angry face. she still cannot accept his treatment.

"I am not interesting to meet with anyone who has not give me any significant importance," Jin Yu is replying her while sipping his hot tea.

"DO whatever you want, and you can sulk as long as you want! I am going to rest inside the room, and you can sleep in this courtyard if you cannot treat me nicely," Ni Qing is leaving her wife who still siting in the middle of the courtyard. She is slamming the door and going to the closet to changes her clothes and clean up herself before laying down on the bed.

Jin Yu is angry to his wife for leaving him on the bed alone. He is asking to eunuch Wang and cannot answer his question about her whereabouts. He still cannot get used with her keep going out from his sight.
