The Emperor's Female Official (Slow Updates)

~7 days before the banquet ~

Daiyu sighed once more as the smile on her face disappeared. She wasn't sure if she would be able to deal with one more stupid little conversation. After meeting with the Huang women. It would seem that if you of the ladies and wait staff that I saw them disappear into the private tea room together let their lips run wild.

She has been bombarded not only by the women of her own sector but my ones of other sectors randomly finding her while she's out and about. Whether it was getting in the middle of her chores or cornering her in the gardens. Hell she's pretty sure that at some point she's had about four or five different guards have the audacity to stop her in semi-secluded areas trying to get any kind of information out of her. Not to mention it was quite pathetic and sad dealing that they all lacked any form of discretion.

They're probably as subtle as a bull in a china shop with trying to get information out of her. Thinly veiled conversations that always ended up bleeding back to the Huang women.

Yet here she was at 6:00 in the evening. Waiting near the pond once more for the prince to arrive. Then come up with a schedule of the two of them leaving and meeting up even if they absolutely do nothing. Matter of fact half of the time she doesn't even stay she'll only be there long enough to greet him and then go about her own way using the old servant passages that Meiying had shown her.

Renjun was... Something for lack of better wording. At first she chose to actually try to spend a little bit of time with the rightful crown Prince but after the second meeting it became very obvious to her that he was one of those people. The type of people that you see irritate the absolute fuck out of her in her past life and apparently she still cannot seem to tolerate.

Woe is me is the phrase she would use to describe Renjun. He did nothing but bitch and complain. Once more Jade understood she truly did it would be frustrating to be the only one in your family who seem to give a damn about your kingdom your empire. To be the only one who cares about all of the people that you must take care of yet at the same time. What is the use of complaining if you aren't going to do anything about it.

Should even mentioned once or twice how maybe he should actually converse with his brothers. Let them know exactly why he refused to do anything and giving them the tools to actually do something. He laughed and chuckled uncontrollably for quite a while. Eventually calm down and just told her wouldn't that be him doing too much.

Honestly for someone who was supposed to become the next emperor he was an idiot in her mind. his brothers have never had to fight the political fight as he has so it actually makes sense that they would always turn to him. Matter of fact the more he talked about his family dynamic before their father went missing the more it actually makes sense on how his uncle was making his moves.

The older brothers grew up with a sense of responsibility but only in terms of finding a good Noble woman to wife and to have at least one or two children with. Children that would be able to be used for political gain through their marriages. The middle sons did not have as much responsibility but also weren't as free to Rome and do whatever they wanted. They were raised and made more so as one backup plans and two to take over certain areas in the kingdom. Having one that is very much so into the military so that he would eventually be able to take over as one of the top generals dealing that he has no want or feels no need to be married. Having another who would be in charge of trade specifically when it came to the food and consumption goods honestly their father was playing every single one of his sons like ponds on a chessboard they just never saw it that way because he did truly love them at the same time.
