A stretcher stopped in front of the royal temple of Huoli. The servants who followed him immediately took the place to greet someone who was in the palanquin. The people who first came took the time to see who was riding the luxury stretcher.
One of the servants helped him pull the stretcher-covering cloth and another stood in front of him with his hands outstretched, ready to help the man out of the stretcher.
A sleeve wrapped in white hanfu sleeves blending soft purple in some parts stretched out from the stretcher to receive his servant's hand, followed by his foot which was based on flower-motivated embroidered shoes. That's very beautiful. As soon as he came out, all eyes that were looking at him were instantly presented with the charming smile of the second lady of Huoli kingdom.
Who else if not, Gong Dahye.
However, the smile immediately receded as his eyes caught the figure of a dashing man descending a palanquin that was larger in size and luxurious especially for a ruler of the country, then walked towards another palanquin. It appears there that the man reached out his hand to help someone in a second stretcher that is not too luxurious but can be recognized who the owner of the stretcher.
Without command, Grand Concubine Gong Dahye's two hands clenched tightly. Her face may have a sweet expression, but deep down she growls with jealousy at having to see her man with another woman.
"Your Majesty the Great Concubine." exclaimed her servant clumsily seeing the situation like this. For the first time Emperor Li brought his other women to accompany him. Usually, it would always be with Gong Dahye. However, if Gong Dahye could not, then Emperor Li would not bring the others.
Then, what is this?
"Your Majesty, you should calm down. They must have just happened to meet. Don't be so easily lured, Your Majesty. Recall... Your goal, Your Majesty." said his servant reminded, awakening Gong Dahye from the anger that was ready to explode earlier.
Repeatedly Grand Concubine Gong Dahye chanted words that could calm her from the heart without a single look away from her man, Emperor Li, and the third woman in the kingdom of Huoli, who was none other than the Consort The Honor of Wang Jinji.
Rumbling emotions began to accumulate in the chest until he almost had trouble holding it. Thinking that the Empress could not be removed, now someone wants to step over her. Anger mixed with jealousy should not fill the space of his heart and mind.
But, it was still trying to keep Emperor Li from seeing him. True said his servant, he should remember his purpose.
In fact, it was very easy to see how dark the face of Grand Concubine Gong Dahye was. Even Honorary Consort Wang Jinji could catch the anger even remotely. Hawanya always can not be lied to, directly hit anyone who is intended.
It's hideous!
Only, Emperor Li was currently in a bad mood. His mind was at the Empress's residence, wandering about thinking of his only small chance of being able to win back her Empress's heart.
Between despair and helplessness. The number one man in the fire country felt this was the most difficult case to deal with than royal duties.
He could only sigh heavily for the umpteenth time.
Walking hand in hand with Wang Jinji headed to the place where Grand Concubine Gong Dahye was standing waiting for them. Emperor Li saw her, yet he was having no other interest than the Empress. I don't know why the void is beating his heart.
As soon as it came before Grand Concubine Gong Dahye, Emperor Li exclaimed softly in excitement. "Why are you standing here? You should go inside so the monk can lead you to the ritual."
Suppressing his jealousy he replied. "How could this concubine just leave. This concubine had already seen His Majesty's presence. Is Your Majesty not happy with what this concubine is doing?" clearly with the end of the question pitched sad spoiled while glancing sharply Honorary Concubine Wang Jinji through the tail of his eyes. It was obvious that he had deliberately ignored the presence of other women among them.
Emperor Li, who was indifferent to others other than those who were important to him, was very supportive of the atmosphere at the time.
Wang Jinji who was glimpsed like that just silently ignored him. Simply know that he is currently considered to have made a mistake that only the Grand Concubine responded to.
A slight smile formed on Emperor Li's lips. "Of course not. How could that happen... Alright, come. I'll walk you inside. We will do it together." Emperor Li felt a little guilty.
And again, he again ignored anyone when he was with his favorite concubine. He gently embraced her and took her inside the temple. Leaving Honorary Concubine Wang Jinji who chose to be silent let the couple who loved each other pass first.
Seeing his lord too good his personal servant exclaimed unhappily. "Mrs... What are you doing?! Why just shut up?! Lookie! Grand Concubine must have felt high once she saw you were silent. He must think you're afraid of him!"
Looking at her faithful servant was gentle by attracting a thin, charming smile. "What did you say?! I kept quiet because I didn't want to interfere. I prefer to be ignored, but life is quiet. Rather than care, but live in unrest. You know what I mean, don't you?!" after saying so, Honorary Concubine Wang Jinji began to move his feet back to the temple to participate in prayer rituals.
Leaving the place where it appeared to be a silent witness Grand Concubine Gong Dahye marked Honorary Consort Wang Jinji as an impediment in her relationship with Emperor Li.
Ignoring someone standing not far from them. The man witnessed everything that happened and began to feel sorry for himself before he finally followed into the temple.
The inner room of the temple was already filled with newcomers. Emperor Li and members of the Huoli royal family had taken their place at the front so that all of them saw the entire Huoli Royal Family. However, it seems like they feel that there is less.
That's when whispers between fellow visitors who participated in the prayer ritual began to fill the entire temple.
They begin to question the whereabouts of Empress Ahn Reychu who is not even present. Various speculations were made. Many assume that Empress Ahn was not allowed to participate, some also assume that Empress Ahn did not want to participate, some also assume that Empress Ahn was abandoned.
All of that became clear as they mostly saw how Emperor Li entered with Grand Concubine Gong Dahye by his side, they did not find Empress Ahn's whereabouts anywhere.
Luckily, they said it all in whispers. Otherwise, it would be a big problem for them.
"The Empress really didn't come?"
"Something must have happened!"
"Are they really hostile to each other?"
"Don't that be obvious from how the Empress plainly said how dislikeful she was to the Grand Concubine!"
"He made the rumors real!"
"She was really cruel to the point of not giving Grand Concubine a face. How could she be the Empress?!"
"You forgot his intelligence defeated the intelligence of the Grand Concubine, even Emperor Li himself. He was capable enough to accompany Emperor Li to take care of the kingdom!"
"just that? Doesn't that make him no more important than a co-worker?"
"That makes sense. But, what can I do. The previous Emperor and Empress chose Empress Ahn as the next Empress. We can what?"
The crowd that filled the space in the temple caused those who arrived late to have to perform a prayer ritual outside the temple, precisely in the temple yard with several monks who lead. Unexpectedly, the ritual this time was welcomed by the entire inner nobility.
None other than nobles who work in the palace and live in the area near the palace. They come with their relatives. That is why the inner and outer temples are crowded by visitors who participate in prayer rituals today.
The prayer ritual lasts until sunset. It was only one by one that the visitors who were present began to leave the temple after the Emperor allowed them to return first, leaving Emperor Li and Grand Concubine behind, due to Gong Dahye who started playing the role.
His face instantly turned gloomy as if he was experiencing a deep sadness. Emperor Li who saw that was puzzled and started asking.
"Dahye, what's wrong? You look sad." Gently rubbed the back of his concubine.
Looking up to look into Emperor Li's sharp eyes that were never soft when looking at him. "Hamba is sad, Your Majesty... The empress is not present to the prayer ritual today. What's... Is Her Majesty jealous and angry that she does not want to come?" stroking his stomach with a frustrated expression of his trickery. "But, this is your son His Majesty the Emperor. This concubine was even willing to share a child with Her Majesty the Empress. The servant does not want the Queen's hatred to affect the servant's son later. He was innocent." showed his head as if he was staring at his belly where their baby was there, along with the intonation of his voice shrinking to show how sad he was.
Emperor Li, who still loved Grand Concubine Gong Dahye, could only see what was on the surface and did not feel the slightest suspicion if in fact, the concubine's sentence contained a strong provocation.
She acted like an innocent weak woman and had only always been the target of the hatred of all Harem women because of Emperor Li's affection which was only directed at her.
Although now, he felt he had to go extra to make Emperor Li turn back after he knew that his men began to love his enemy.
Emperor Li's frown furrowed, he thought about what he had just heard. He had indeed seen how his legitimate wife had clearly said how much she hated Grand Concubine Gong Dahye, even she was hated as well. But, at the same time he did not find any bad intentions in him let alone jealousy. All of this made her realize, that the actual last time she saw her Empress overwhelmed with jealousy was before the punishment to the cold palace took place.
She remembered clearly what Empress Ahn Reychu looked like when she looked at him with a scar. He did not even hesitate to shed his tears right then and there, which he said was a ruse his wife wanted to attract his attention. He ignored it, he forgot it subtly, he threw it away indirectly. He did all this in the name of his hatred for his wife. Unthinkable to him, if in the end he also collapsed.
Unfortunately, my wife no longer wanted it.
Since coming out of the sentence, Empress Ahn Reychu became a different person. So different that not infrequently he thought that he saw someone else who had a similar physical with his wife. Moreover, if the first word is always good, now he indifferently issued all that crossed his mind without a second thought. However, so far he has seen no other bad behavior in his Empress.
The girl tends to like sharp words without filters. All of that seems to confirm that he only said his words, but not to do it.
It made him doubt that his Empress would do such a bad thing.
Looking back at her gentle concubine did not forget her thin smile. "Don't think. The Queen is not feeling well. Therefore, he could not attend. Believe me, he will accept you and our son in the end." he said as he stroked his belly distended Grand Concubine Gong Dahye, but it is undeniable that in fact he felt doubtful at the sentence he said himself.
"Come, we'll be right back. You should get back to rest. It's not good for pregnant women to be exposed to the night breeze" she said then leading her concubine to follow her back to their residence.
Then he turned his face to look at the monks who were ready to lead the way of the Emperor to end today's activities.
"Biksu. We'll be back now." he said without reducing his obligation to a leader.
"Sure, Your Majesty. Hope your journey is good until your destination. It is an honor for us, to be able to serve the orders of His Majesty the Emperor today." said the head monk authoritatively.
Emperor Li simply nodded in response to him. Then, they actually left the temple to let the monks stand outside the temple watching them pass by and be seen no more.
The Chief Monk sighed tiredly as well heavily while closing his eyes for a moment, before reopening. His eyes could not be read, as if he was holding something that no one else knew. Feels mysterious and enigmatic.
"I hope everything's gonna be okay!" he nodded with a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, I feel like I failed. Supposedly, Emperor Li had been reminded of me from the very beginning. So that none of this would ever happen... The poor empress...!" he mumbled full of guilt.
The Monk's head was still standing outside the temple looking at the silence that was inversely proportional to the crowd during the day. Before the end, he was led back into the temple by his fellow monks, leaving the darkness of the night outside the temple cooling down.
