The Empress Dowager is So Wicked That her father had been able to send a daughter into the palace to serve as a princess's reading companion suggested Yao's father had been a highly regarded official at the Late Emperor's court. And Noble Lady Lan's bearing did indeed mark her as a daughter of the official class. That the Yao family was a Beijing official household made things easier — a single inquiry to an old eunuch who had spent decades in the yamen would settle the matter. What she feared most…-

The Empress Dowager Refuses Yao Xi felt that the Empress Dowager was being a bit unreasonable. She claimed it was a choice between the two, but when it actually came down to choosing, Her Highness would issue ruthless threats. Besides, why did this question even require a second thought? She was already trying her hardest to avoid serving in bed; how could she possibly volunteer for it? Taking ten thousand steps back, even if she were a real eunuch who had entered the palace properly, the option…

The Empress Dowager Refuses Yao Xi knew the Empress Dowager must have questioned the eunuchs who accompanied her out of the palace, and mistakenly assumed she was projecting herself onto Wei Xiaobao in her storytelling. Her decision to tell 《The Deer and the Cauldron》 was entirely because she found the story amusing. Besides, she was already living in the imperial palace and had served as a eunuch herself, so speaking of the matters within those walls came second nature to her. As for the…

The Empress Dowager Refuses Wan Bi lowered her eyes to glance at Zheng Dayun and said languidly, "Rise! Go brew this bereaved one a fresh pot of tea. Make it Mingqian tea." "This slave obeys the decree!" Zheng Dayun, whose knees had long gone numb from kneeling, scrambled up from the floor with overwhelming gratitude. He set the ledger aside, rolled up his sleeves, and headed to the tea room next to the main hall. As soon as Zheng Dayun left, Wan Bi trotted over to pick up the ledger and flip…

The Empress Dowager Refuses Yao Xi forcefully balled up the monstrous scribble in front of her, threw down her calligraphy brush, and clutched her head in agony. If she dared present a drawing like this to Her Highness, even a woman with the patience of a Bodhisattva would fly into a rage. But she had truly done her level best to use the brush to capture the Empress Dowager's stunning beauty. It was just that what she pictured in her mind and what actually appeared on the paper were two completely…

The Empress Dowager Refuses "We're already here?" Hearing that they had already reached the Princess's Mansion of Princess Longyi, Yao Xi found it hard to believe. She had planned to make a grand scene in the market streets or even drag things straight to the local yamen to leave some sort of clue for the Empress Dowager. Yet she had simply fallen asleep and arrived just like that? She looked out at the gray sky outside the carriage, unable to believe she had slept for an entire day. "Has the sky gone…

The Empress Dowager is So Wicked Gugu Yuanqian was not there. This time, Yao Xi finally did not have to match the Empress Dowager drink for drink with a large bowl. But she had already downed three cups, and the Empress Dowager's cup had not been touched. If she remembered correctly, the Empress Dowager's original words had been: "After finishing the accounts, come drink two cups with this bereaved one!" Since it was "drink with you," then you should actually drink! And the agreement was two…

The Empress Dowager Refuses Yao Xi groaned as she scrambled up from the ground. By the time she turned around, Ni Dong had already entered the bedchamber, and the doors had shut. She shook her small fists angrily at the empty air, muttered a few quiet curses under her breath, and went on toward the water room anyway. "Does Your Highness have any commands?" Ni Dong immediately broke into a smile the moment he stepped inside the bedchamber. Since Yao Xi had gone to the duty room to sleep for the night,…

The Empress Dowager Refuses Cao Yue thought he had misheard. “Eunuch, could you repeat that? What was the Empress Dowager’s decree?” He must have misheard. Her Majesty surely meant for him to kill Zheng Dayun, right? Cao Yue would rather believe the eunuch delivering the order had slurred his words. The eunuch from the Empress Dowager’s palace glanced around to ensure no one was nearby, then cleared his throat and lowered his voice. “A secret decree from the Empress Dowager. She…

The Empress Dowager Refuses After sending Yao Xi away, Wan Bi ordered the kitchen to prepare food and wine, then sent someone to invite Princess Longyi and Jieyu Lan. Left alone in the hall, she held Yao Xi's drawing in her hands—it truly grew uglier the more she looked at it! Annoyed, Wan Bi tossed the drawing aside, out of sight, out of mind. Suddenly, a palace maid from Ning'an Palace arrived, saying she had something to report. "Has something happened at Ning'an Palace?" Wan Bi felt a…
