The Favored Concubine Is A Man[On Hold]

Chapter 5

Chan juan and mei hui were walking after exiting the palace, mei hui would not stop overthinking

"lady..are u really sure u accept the decision WHAT IF THE EMPRESS DOES SOMETHING!?" mei hui warns chan juan but given by chan juans reaction he doesn't care. Chan juan just assures mei hui by patting his head making mei hui look up.

"Im sure the empress is not what you think." He pauses thinking of an excuse
"Well... The empress might be a little short tempered..But! I'll just hope she would actually let me take responsibility if the garden...."

Without realizing there were 3 figures behind them

"What did u just say.."
Before chan juan knew, a woman in red and gold robes and a gold headpiece showed up glaring at the both of them.

"AHH THE EMPRESS!!" mei hui screams as he kowtows followed by a bow from chan juan.

"Good afternoon empress..to what do i owe the honor?"chan juan just bows calmly while the poor mei hui was trembling

"What were the words coming out of your mouth just now?!..." The empress said while setting her child down still glaring at the man and what it looks like his servant

"WE ARE SORRY YOUR IMPERIAL HIGHNESS BUT PLEASE LET THIS SERVANT EXPLAIN!"
mei hui stands up once again fixing his robes to look presentable

The empress look at the servant up and down observing his looks "speak!"

"Well you see you highness..the emperos has called me and my master to the palace to talk some matters , we were shock of what he told us, we panicked thinking u would disapprove of his imperial majesties decision." Mei hui explains as clear as he could. His hands were still shaking but calmed down a bit due to his master holding onto his sleeve

"And what was his majesties decision tell me now!" The empress's arms were crossed while still  glaring at chan juan

"His imperial majesty wanted me to have responsibility of the imperial Concubines garden..." Chan juan replies as he could feel her eyes piercing him

"YOU?! WHY YOU I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR IT BECAUSE I HAVE HIGH STATUS AS HIS EMPRESS WHY WOULD AN OUTSIDER LIKE YOU BE IN CHARGE OF THE GARDEN?! YET THE HIGHEST CONSORT CANT EVEN ARCHIVE THAT AND PLUS YOUR A MAN!!" the empress bursts into anger

"I beg your pardon but 1 im not an outsider, simply i am also a Concubine.
2 i have no say in this as it was his majesties decision." Chan juan clarifies giving her a sassy tone

"You-" the empress was about to speak but was cut by her own child

"Mommy can we go meet the royal father now? A 5 years old child was tugging on her moms robe desperate to meet his father

"Yes son just a moment" the empress smiles at her son while patting his head then her gaze turns to look at chan juan once again

"Once i find out you are lying ill make sure to cut your tongue." The empress finishes and leaves with her son in hand

"Master what do we do now..?" Mei hui said while catching up to chan juan who was walking again.

"We'll just wait and see , the empress thinks we're lying but wait till she finds out" chan juan continues walking while humming an unknown tune.

-at the palace of istalia-

"THE IMPERIAL HIGHNESSES THE EMPRESS AND 1ST PRINCE HAVE COME TO VISIT HIS IMPERIAL MAJESTY" the guard outside announced their presence as the empress barges in.

The emperor who is sat on his throne was unfazed by the empress's actions.

Putting down his documents he glances at the empress with a dissatisfied look
"Where has the empress's manners go. How disrespectful
