012 : The Most Favored Concubine

Yin Mei Mei is the most favored concubine. Amongst the twelve, Yin Mei Mei carries two princes; both are on the age of maturity. The third child is a princess, age five, but said to be one of the brightest and prettiest amongst the five princesses.

Taking this fact into account, Yin Mei Mei is considered as the highest Lady on Court next to the Empress Dowager. This made the other woman on the harem to treat her with respect, though, as a formal account and rational decision to not make enemies on the foreign ground. After all, nobody wanted to oppose a soon to be powerhouse and the Empress of the court.

Her promotion for being the Empress is still unknown but there are already rumors pertaining her position to the court. The rumors are plenty, saying that the Emperor is only waiting for her oldest son to pass the age of maturity before announcing her as the Empress, or the Emperor is just only waiting for the decision of the court to approve the request. There's also a story about how the Emperor already declared Yin Mei Mei as the Empress and is only hiding the news to everyone to keep the woman safe.

Whatever is true or not, the fuccboi who is busy shopping some beauties did not deny it. The all-famous and respectable Minister Chang also did not clarify the issue making the rumors grow more horns and false fruits. This topic became the usual casual opener on the commoner's daily supply of street gossip.

However, this notion of strange words was then evicted the moment another rumor emerged from the dark. And it all started after the wedding day of the thirteenth concubine.

It was said that after the Night of Consummation, Emperor Yan JinLong suddenly refused to attend on his daily court meeting and stayed inside the Lin Courtyard to serve his wife. Unlike the rumors about Yin Mei Mei that only started after constant observation and subtle hints, Lin Mian Mian's deal this time is much realistic that ideal. That is because rather than spreading it as 'rumors', it was announced on the court. And the one who announced the Emperor's absence is Minister Chang who, is in fact, a very credible source.

It only needed a second to pass the story from one mouth to the other. Honestly, this spread of the rumor is faster than your internet connection. If only these ancient people have the power of the smart phone, the royal scandal could have reached a million likes and million shares with the comment section filled with supporters and bashers. Then, the news channel will use this material as a topic and invite the said actors to the stage to know if the deal is true or not.

The reporter would ask, "Is it true that your Highness favored the new wife very much?"

Yan JinLong will then sat up straight, sneak a glance to his wife with a smile, and answers with glistening eyes, "Is it not already obvious?"

It is really indeed obvious ba! Originally, Yan JinLong treatments to his concubines are equal. Nobody might able to believe it but to the women who have slept with the Emperor knows it very well. Yan JinLong is a romantic; he would serenade a beauty all day with his most beautiful voice and charming smile, and during the night, he would indulge the beauty to eternal bliss and pleasure. This is like a daily activity that the women on the harem experiences, not changing a bit from the schedule.

However, this treatment was not executed with Lin Mian Mian. Yan JinLong will not sing songs to Lin Mian Mian in the morning. Instead, he is quiet, rather want to show his feelings through actions than to speak the words. He would feed the ger, help him take a bath, stroll with him around the courtyard, and often times joins him on a meal. Only a few words are exchanged during these activities, yet, the intimacy increases in each day always feeding the dogs until they fatten up.

Nobody is dumb enough to not see the difference of the treatment. Plus, Yan JinLong's increase of absences made Lin Mian Mian a very special case. Emperor Yan JinLong did not once skip the court meetings because it is one of his important duties as the Emperor. Yet, for the fucking love's sake, he is becoming a dreamy man who has finally had his metal walls melted by a small fire.
