I remembered what those other consort had said-
"Speaking of the eighth king wife, did you hear? The Eldest prince found a female that looks exactly like her! I heard he presented it to his majesty a couple days ago!"
"Oh my...looks like the harem will not be calm again..."
"When ever has the harem had peace?" Another concubine replied with sarcasm while rolling her eyes.
"Poor Concubine Yin..." Consort Li had said with a smile.
"Looks like the Crown Prince is the first prince! And looks like Concubine Wen has good days ahead of her!"
"That maybe...our highness is still young...if that new woman becomes pregnant...with how obsessed his majesty was with eighth king's wife..."
"This will be an interesting show...Concubine Wen, Concubine Yin, and the new one...I wonder who will win?" Consort Li said with a smile.
"The Emperor has arrived!" I heard the high pitched voice of an Eunuch announcing Hong Yan's arrival.
"What's wrong?" He asked grabbing the hand with the wound and gently pressing on it with his lips.
"Why is your majesty here?" I said turning away my head.
He immediately with his free hand moved my face back and gently kissed me on the lips, trying to transport his comfort and love to me.
I pouted my lips. I still didn't say anything.
"Your majesty while niang niang and this servant was walking around looking at the beautiful flowers we heard other people insulting her and that because of the lady that the first prince had offered-"
"Di Lian!" Leave! I cut her off and then dismissed her.
"It's for that?" He said with a deep chuckle.
"Bing Bing, I'm saddened...have more faith in your man. I'm not stupid, I know what Hong Xuan* has in his mind? After all I was once in his place and won. And that new girl...she may look like her but she is not her. I'm not a person that looks physical appearances, after all your much more beautiful. Even if the original did come back I would still only look at you. Her to me was an obsession as I didn't have her and she was like a place of comfort but you to me maybe realize clearly what is love. And in a way if it weren't for her...we would have never met. I'm grateful to her. That lady was useless...but if she made you jealous she was at least a but useful. I planned on disposing her secretly, but she made my Bing Bing displeased so you may do whatever you wish to her." He said pulling me into his lap and then continued to whisper into my ear gently "All I want is but simple you." And then gently nibbled my ear.
"Imperial father! Imperial father! Eldest brother said that because you know have the eighth king's wife you will no longer love mother concubine, fourth brother and me!" Poor little Han Ling with his stubby arms and legs trying hard not to trip as he ran and practically flew in direction. We were both momentarily stunned and confused at the flying ball of dough wrapped in expensive turquoise satin. Hong Yan of course being a martial artist first reacted by pushing me out of the way as if an dangerous arrow was flying straight towards us. He of course couldn't move because if he moved Han Ling would fly into the wall, so Hong Yan got knocked back. Han Ling then preceded to rub his face all over Hong Yan's dragon robe that would probably cost a city or too* and if course a lot of tears...And snot as Hong Yan comforted and reassured him that he still love us. And then he still continued to cry a little until he cried himself to sleep in Hong Yan's lap. We both looked at each other with a small smile.
