I should be happy living leisure but i couldnt help feel bored.

All the chore i previously done got taken over by my maid. Most i did was sit and stare them doing labour.

My gaze directed toward the door on my courtyard. It already been almost an hour since one of my maid gone to pick up my adopted son. I curious reason of her being late.

Emperor POV

I was busy dealing with the report when the maid i sent to serve my new empress arrive.

"Your majesty... " She kneeled in front of me as she try catching up his breath.

"Empress said he like to meet with his adopted son... " She reported.

"What should this servant do?... " She asked.

I give solid taught before giving my reply.

"Just do as he wish... " I replied.

"but keep close eyes... " I said coldly.

The maid bowed understanding and quickly excuse herself out of my study room.

Finding out my new empress first meeting with my son, i feel bit curious how they first meeting would be. Unfortunately, with my busy schedule, i have to cancel my urge.

I finally got to meet my adopted son. He was held by a middle aged woman and followed by another two young maid, one of them was the maid i sent to pick up my adopted son.

The middle age woman introduce herself being the little prince nanny. She was protective with the emperor son. I couldnt have clear view toward my adopted son.

"Can i hold him?..." I asked.

"I dont think that appropriate your majesty, he just fallen asleep... I wouldnt want his sleep disturbed... " The nanny rejected.

I feel bit dejected but nodded agree. From the angle i can get, i gaze at the previous empress baby. He inherited both of his parent good look.

"If i got pregnant later on, do you think my baby will inherit my look or the emperor or maybe both of our look?... " I accidently blurted in loud voice.

The nanny and the maid was speechless by my question. I instantly dyed red of embrassement.

Avoiding the awkward silence, i quickly change question topic.

"How old is he?... " I asked.

"He almost a years old... " The nanny replied.

"He grow up really fast... " I smiled.

"I think he should be resting in his crib now... " The nanny excuse herself.

I still wish to stay bit longer with him but thinking about the baby well-being, i agreed.

I said farewell and wish to see him again tommorow. During those time, i wish he would be awake.

The nanny and the other young maid leave my courtyard while the other four stayed behind.

Nanny POV

I was shocked when the emperor agree to let the new empress meet his son. I was distrustful with the emperor other wife.

There were no proof of the poisoned empress done by them, but i knew the culprit was among them. I heard them talk about wishing the empress to die and get the title empress for themselves.

I swore to protect the empress child. I held the baby in protective manner.

Seeing the new empress, i was bit shocked to find him a male. If wasnt for the royalty attire he wore, i would mistake him being one of the servant male. He looked plain and ordinary.

When he ask to hold the empress son, i rejected. I was cautious, he may appear harmless but he could hide evil sinister.

Yet, hearing him saying him got pregnant and thinking how he and the emperor child would be, i quickly taught the new empress was foolish.

Thinking the meeting between the empress and the baby was plenty, i decide to leave, giving excuse the baby need his rest.

I accepted the foolish new empress was harmless toward the emperor son. But i knew i shouldnt let my guard down.

End Nanny POV

After long taught, i finally decide what should i give my adopted son as present.

I'm going to sew him a clothes.

The maid gave me few selection of fabric. All of them was high qualities. I picked the cotton fabric and began cutting the fabric based on the measurement of my adopted son body send by the nanny. I did good job but my maid have different opinion, telling i should let the tailor do the sewing but i rejected them.

I want the clothes personally made by me to him.

It took me half day to complete the baby clothes. I couldnt wait seeing my adopted son wearing the adorable outfit. I neatly folded the clothes and kept it inside my closet. I will give the clothes tommorow when he come to visit me.

Meal was already prepared by the maid on the table. As usual i sat and prepare to eat. I would be happy if the emperor come and accompany me eat but i know he was busy. Other than the coronation of new empress, the emperor also busy with the empire problem. Compare to previous empress, i was illiterate so only thing i could do was being supportive toward the emperor.

Now i become the new empress, the harem meeting proceed as usual.

Due usual habit, i accidentally sit in my usual seat instead the empress seat. I quickly gotten up and walked toward the empress seat.

I find myself being hated by them. However due im being the empress, they force to swallow their anger. I handled the harem meeting well, by making good relationship with the emperor other wife. I didnt swear or say disgrading word to them.

I ended the meeting at noon and decide to return home. This time i was waited by a carriage.

At home, the nanny was already arrive by the courtyard with my adopted son. I was happy and greeted them.

I went into my quarter and took the baby clothes i sewn last night and give it to my son nanny.

"Can you put this clothes on him?... " I asked, hoping she wouldnt disagree.

I was thrilled when the nanny agree.

The nanny remove the baby current clothes and putting the new clothes i sewn. It fit perfectly with my adopted son physical.

The maid was praise how cute my son it. I wish i could hug him but i restrainted myself from hugging him.

I was thrilled when the nanny allow me to carry him. I didnt reject. With my son on my embrace, he quite heavy than i anticipated.
