Detective Ghost Empress

Chapter 468: Flower choosing ceremony

" What did you say?" Liu Hui Ying looked down at the concubine who went on her knees. She only questioned the woman lightly without raising her voice but who knows what concubine Chu thought in her head but the next second she started crying.

" I ...I said that I will not make the drama troupe perform another bl drama, please let me go, your majesty," the poor woman was so scared that she was hiccuping. Seeing her like this Liu Hui Ying was speechless, why was the woman crying over something so small? What she wanted to watch was her own preference, was there a need for her to shed tears like this?

"It's a taboo," as if sensing Liu Hui Ying's confusion, Nanny Gong explained with the back of her hand resting against her mouth as she whispered in Liu Hui Ying's ear, " Because the relationship between the same gender is forbidden, it's not encouraged. Though some still try to keep male and female concubines—- they are not even registered under the registry of the family."

Only then did Liu Hui Ying understand why concubine Chu was crying like her dooms day was here. She sighed and then rubbed her forehead before saying, " I did not call you here because I wanted to reprimand you, concubine Chu. I called you because I seriously wish to accompany you in watching the drama, don't misunderstand."

Only then did Chu Zhao raise her head and looked at Liu Hui Ying with eyes which were still twinkling with tears.

" Rea...Really?" The woman asked as if she was worried that Liu Hui Ying will go back on her words and then chop her down.

" Really," affirmed Liu Hui Ying before she turned to look at Xiao Ai and asked her to help Concubine Chu up who still looked a bit shaken up but at least she had stopped trembling like a small little rabbit who was sent in the tiger's den.

Liu Hui Ying sighed in relief before she parted her lips and then continued speaking, " As you may already know, I have nothing good to do these days. Usually, I spent my time snacking but someone in my courtyard feels that I have gotten...f...fa..faa.."

She had her own powers and could easily send a concubine to the abyss of death if they were to cross her —- getting her to stand behind one's back was like getting a golden card which was equivalent to getting a free zone card.

No matter what happens in the future those standing by the side of the Empress would always stay protected.

Till now no one had made a fuss because she did not befriend them but if Liu Hui Ying was to join hands with someone then she did not believe that the other concubines would sit still.

However, she was too bored!

" Concubine Chu," Liu Hui Ying lowered her head as she pulled on a pitiful expression and said, " I understand what you are trying to say but as you can see, being the Empress is not a really good thing. I might be standing at the top but it's too lonely. Don't you think that I deserve to have some friends as well?

Look at me, I only stay inside my courtyard which is not even adorned with all the comforts, I don't even have the love of my husband ... as I am nothing in his eyes ——you know how men are they only love the new one but forget the old——, sob ... all I want is a friend is it too much to ask?"

Behind the door Zhai Tianyu who came to see his wife was stupefied.

What did she mean by he did not love her? He loved her to the moon and back it was she who did not let him show his love!
