Reluctant Empress - Dangerous Signal

Based on appearance, Xu Wei Rong can really carry the name of being exquisite, tall and slender body, oval shaped face, snow white skin like a peeled hard boiled egg, and a pair of shining eyes. Early in the morning when she greeted Ye Zhen Zhen, supposedly her rank as a Cai Ren should be standing, but being considerate that she just received her first night, Ye Zhen Zhen let her sit.

Xu Cai Ren is the niece of the empress dowager, the emperor's cousin sister, that is why even Li Concubine and Xi Consort don't dare to do anything yet. So that is why even though yesterday night the emperor slept at her place yesterday, today there were no sour words passing by, Kun Ning Palace was in peace.

However, even with seeing others were being cautious with her, Xu Cai Ren was not happy inside. Yesterday night, it is true that Ji Wu Jiu slept next to her, but did not touch her at all, and as a woman, it is not nice to go seduce him as well.

Ye Zhen Zhen as usual gift her some items. Ji Wu Jiu has already notified earlier that she cannot give jade toads anymore, so today the gifts were not anything special, Xu Cai Ren only took a look and ask her people to keep it, and stood up to thank the empress. Thinking that because of Ye Zhen Zhen, herself can only be placed as a sixth rank Cai Ren, she doesn't really have that good of a feeling towards Ye Zhen Zhen, but because of her status, she has no choice but to give face.

The rest of the consorts starts to chat, Xi Consort said "I saw, the gifts that niang niang gave, there was a scented wood bead bracelet, it seems that the emperor also has one?"

Wen Jie Yu add on, "it really is, I saw the emperor wearing it few days ago"

Ye Zhen Zhen have too much treasures herself, most of them she can't really remember. But towards Su Yue and Su Feng, she believes that they will not gift away things that Ji Wu Jiu give her personally.

The bracelet is not given by Ji Wu Jiu to her, but a gift from another country, there are only 2 pieces, Ji Wu Jiu thought that the scent of the bracelet is very nice so he kept one for himself, and the rest of the items was sent to Kun Ning Palace to be decided by the empress. That's how the other bracelet came to Kun Ning Palace.

Hearing about that, Xu Cai Ren immediately wore it after returning to her place. In the evening she went to visit the empress dowager alone, Ji Wu Jiu was there also, the three of them had a little chat. Xu Cai Ren was trying to observe Ji Wu Jiu's wrist, and found out that he really was wearing an identical bracelet.

"Whats so amusing?" Ji Wu Jiu asked.

"Cousin Brother" Xu Cai Ren held his hands up, and also showed her hands, "take a look"

Ji Wu Jiu heard that she called her cousin brother and not the emperor, was already abit uncomfortable, and then now he saw that the both of them are wearing the same thing, he asks "where did you get it from?"

"The empress gift it"

The empress having that item is not weird, Ji Wu Jiu took his hands back, and didn't say anything.

Xu Cai Ren got closer to him, and smiled prettily, "cousin brother and sister, a matched made pair"

Ji Wu Jiu stopped, and pushed her away gently, "was that sentence said by the empress?"

The rejection of the other party was too obvious, Xu Cai Ren looked down and said "this sentence is not good?"

"Not good, do not say it again anymore" Ji Wu Jiu said, without realizing her disappointment, he took off his bracelet and placed it into her hands, "since you like it so much, I will give this to you too" and left without bothering to see her reactions.

How can this matter be accepted so easily by her!

Ye Zhen Zhen don't know what happened to Ji Wu Jiu, he brought a lot of doc.u.ments with him to Kun Ning Palace to look through.

Although outside it was dark already since it was winter, but inside Kun Ning Palace, with all the candle and lights around, it was very bright. There was a pot of Narcissus flower near the entrance, the white petals are releasing gentle scents that are truly refreshing.

Ye Zhen Zhen was thinking, no wonder everyone wants to be the empress, only with this Kun Ning Palace itself, she will not allow herself to be demoted.

When Ji Wu Jiu came over, Ye Zhen Zhen was playing Hua Rong Dao (a Chinese movement game like Unblock Me). The game she was playing was made to be harder by the local teacher, making it more complicated and hard. Ji Wu Jiu saw her playing it, walked over and helped her win the stage in a few moves, in exchange of Ye Zhen Zhen flipping her eyes.

After a while of work, Ji Wu Jiu gave Ye Zhen Zhen a few doc.u.ments, "I see that you seem to be very free, and have nothing to do, why not you help me"

Ye Zhen Zhen receive them, but before even reading them, she felt that Ji Wu Jiu has a bad intention. The experience from avoiding traps, definitely raised her awareness. The contents of the doc.u.ments seems to be normal, all with contents that requires approval from the emperor. But looking at in detail, Ye Zhen Zhen found the trap. One of them was by Fang Xiu Qing, something about changing the main soldier at Da Tong. The initial main soldier was taking the countries money as his own, so without further a due, Ji Wu Jiu sent someone there to take his head off, and to calm the army there. Now the position is empty, so Fang Xiu Qing, wrote in to suggest Li Xu as the new main soldier.

This is the problem, Li Xu is her eldest brother, Ye Xin Fang's in laws, can be counted as under the Ye Family side, but why did Fang Xiu Qing suggested him?

Ye Zhen Zhen thinks that the Fang Old fox, was really good in planning, giving such a huge problem to Ye Family, but of course for this matter, we still need to wait for the final decision by Ji Wu Jiu, but.. this idiot to give her this to see, what does he wants?
