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 Wan Bi fell silent as she gazed at Yao Xi's bitter expression. Wanting her, or wanting her own life—did these two options truly conflict for Yao Xi? She tried to understand Yao Xi's world, a realm entirely opposite to her own within the imperial palace. The Emperor and she were the cleavers, while the thousands of palace maids and eunuchs were the meat on the chopping block, living in constant peril. Naturally, this included Yao Xi as well. “Do you know why…

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 Liufu had originally planned to return to his private residence outside the palace after his duty shift ended. Not long ago, he had used the silver saved from his position at the Directorate of Palace Servants to buy a house and take a wife. The couple was newly wedded, fresh in their happiness. He used to linger at the yamen whenever he had free time, but now he rushed home at every opportunity. His wife was also from a humble background and didn't despise him for being a…

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 Refuses "Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival. You are the one managing the Dragon Boat Festival gifts Concubine Kang is sending to the Empress Dowager, yes?" Meng Delai closed his eyes and massaged the bridge of his nose. Yao Xian was dead; the Yao family line had been severed. The people who had caused his son Guangshen to die in the Ministry of Justice Prison years ago had long been cleaned up. Looking at it this way, his vengeance for the murder of his son was essentially…

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 Yao Xi had still not recovered from her shock. She recalled that day at Ning'an Palace, when the Empress Dowager had pointed at the roaring flames and asked with a smile if she had ever seen a fire so grand… In that moment, she genuinely felt as though she were Bao Si and Her Highness was King You of Zhou—the foolish sovereign who played with beacon fires to amuse his vassal lords. But that fire hadn't been set for her, after all. Yet this endless street stretching…
