Chapter 119

119 She hated it here.

” Why am I being woken up so early and why in the world are you all taking my clothes off?” Liu Hui Ying was dead tired, she was thinking of a way to sneak out of the courtyard but then when she tried to leave she was caught by the soldiers who were patrolling outside the courtyard and told her that she could not leave! Damn!

After that, she tried to sneak out of the palace courtyard through the wall but then she was caught by Nanny Gong who was returning from her house, she caught Liu Hui Ying jumping out of the courtyard and she almost snapped her vocal cords by screaming at Liu Hui Ying.

And after that Liu Hui Ying had to spend a good two hours listening to the lectures of Nanny Gong and because of that she had a hard time sleeping by the time she was allowed to sleep it was already late and now that the dawn was yet to break, she was being dragged to the bathhouse to take bath, how can Liu Hui Ying be not annoyed?

” The grand dowager empress collapsed last night,” replied nanny Gong as she hurriedly untied the belt on Liu Hui Ying’s robe and then took the robe off before taking another robe that was pale and transparent and started covering Liu Hui Ying with it as she continued speaking, ” I am sure that all the concubines will be going to see the grand dowager empress any time now, this one heard that the concubine Ji is already at the courtyard of the grand Dowager Empress with the emperor, you have to be there as well your majesty. You cannot lag behind lest others say that you are not being caring enough as the lady of the Harem.”

Liu Hui Ying clicked her tongue in annoyance, so basically she has to go ahead and giggle like an idiot while asking for the condition of the grand dowager empress, all right. What fun! Not!

” Can’t we just ignore that old ...the grand dowager empress?” Liu Hui Ying changed her words when she noticed that Nanny Gong was looking at her with a narrowed gaze. ” I mean, I am not being rude but I think there is no need for me to go and look for her, I bet that without me... the grand dowager empress will recover more rapidly, in case something was to happen then I will be blamed.”

Nanny Gong could not refute this, she knew it very well. The queen had a talent for angering people to death, she was someone who could drive someone to death with just her words, after living with her for so long she knew it the best. Only Nanny Gong knew just how high her stress levels were these days, she was sure that if this keeps on then she was going to die of high blood pressure.

” This one understands what you are saying, your majesty,” said Nanny Gong as she sighed and then rubbed her temple. ” But you have to listen to me, when everyone is going to go and check up on the grand dowager empress ..you cannot stay behind. As the queen, it is your responsibility that you check up on the grand dowager empress, if not then you will be inviting trouble for yourself because the grand dowager empress wouldn’t take it kindly when she wakes up but she will also make things difficult for the Liu family, please listen to this one’s humble request and stop making things difficult for yourself and us as well.”

Liu Hui Ying did not like the idea of showing fake concern to anyone, she wasn’t fake like the women of this harem. She could not smile at others just because they wanted her to smile at them, if she hated someone she hated them ...if she liked them then it will show on her face.

.....

Yet this world was cruel she couldn’t even be herself, she has to smile and suck up to others just because they had more power than her. What an annoying world.

She hated it here and wanted to go back but with the owner of this body gone she couldn’t find a way to go back and that was driving her insane, which was literally the reason why she was driving everyone else insane as well.

” Fine, I will go and smile like a baboon in front of the grand dowager empress, after all that’s what I am,” Liu Hui Ying snapped as she tugged her hands-free off the maids and walked inside the bathhouse and when the other maids tried to follow her, she turned around and looked at them with annoyance. ” I am taking a bath not performing a strip tease you all have to follow me and enjoy the show!”

With that, she closed the door of the bathhouse at the face of the maids who looked at each other and then looked at nanny Gong and asked, ” What is the meaning of strip tease, Nanny Gong?”

” Who knows?” Nanny Gong replied rubbing her forehead as she had a very good idea of what her mistress just said, day by day her words were getting more and more vulgar maybe it was time to look for an etiquettes teacher for the queen because she continued to act like this then she will surely get herself caught in a mess from which she wouldn’t be able to disentangle herself.

...

On the other side, Liu Hui Ying shook off her clothes after untying the belt. ” What’s the point of bathing with two robes on? Can the water even pass through this thick layer of clothing?” She continued to mutter as she took off her robes one after another and only stopped when she had her undergarments on, since she didn’t want to become a naked ghost in case someone attacked her it was better to leave something on.

With that, she started to climb down the stairs and then submerged her body in the water but then she noticed the bubbles in the water as something started to protrude out from it.
