The Employed Empress 13 Chapter 13: Will To Live

While Jiang Yu was suffering every night, Wei Yi Yi was not having a good sleep either.

'One more chapter!'

Just like other avid reader, she also have this sickness of lying to herself. The 'last chapter' chant end up on her finis.h.i.+ng the whole book.

It's ok, even though she could no longer read the updates of her favorite books, this era does not lack stories. If you disregard those clingy worthy romance where n.o.ble girls falls in love with a penniless scholar, even having the gal to put in a love triangle, the genre about their mythical creatures and G.o.ds are awesome. Good review! 5/5!

Her sleepless night continued so much that Tang Mei end up threatening her.

"Empress, you need to sleep once it was time to put out the lights! Please don't make it difficult for this servant. If your ladys.h.i.+p pushed this servant into a corner, this one might pushed those things for the candle to burn!"

Can a handmaid be this scary?! How does 'Wei Yi Yi' actually raise this girl?! Her family name suits her just alright!

Losing her only source of will to live, Wei Yi Yi longed for the internet era.

'I missed my top notch cellphone. That was the latest model! I spent 18 months paying it, ah! I ate noodles for months and run errands for those jerks just to pay it out and now I can't see even a shadow! Forget the wifi! At least let me have it.'

Tang Mei tired to get her to learn some needle work when she continue to rant the whole day. Thus, Wei Yi Yi also run off.

"Your ladys.h.i.+p! Listen to this servant! Empress, you need to learn some lady like skills!"

She rather spend time doing some origami than do some detailed needle work! So what if this bro is not ladylike at all? She does not have one to impress, ok?!

The origami she's talking about is just some paper boat. Wei Yi Yi really does not have any cheat in this world. She was stuck on watching them expressionlessly as they sunk down the lake then make another one just to watch them sunk again.

She's littering in short.

A 'splash' then happened and then a 'whoosh', her fleet of paper boat end up in a s.h.i.+p wrecked. Black lines appeared on her face as she lost another will to live.

Now there's a kid infront of her, soaking from head to toe.

Wait! Wait! He's not soaking! He's sinking! Sinking together with my boats!

Without a second though, Wei Yi Yi pick up the child before he drown. There's actually a child inside the palace. She wonders which servant's son is he.

"Empress!"

Everyone panicked when they saw Wei Yi Yi. Not only she was squatting alone beside the lake, she pick up the imperial nephew and end up wet as well.

'That brat did this on purpose!'

The servants came near and was brewing some hatred inside.

"Empress, it was an accident. Please let this servant hold imperial nephew for you." A maid nervously tried to get Jiang Chen from Wei Yi Yi.

They heard that the empress sort out so many eunuch not long ago. If the empress find them annoying, no matter how unfavorable this young imperial nephew is, they will not be able to get out unscathed.

Imperial Nephew? Oh I'm actually already an aunt? But boss is the eldest son of the previous emperor. It's so easy for young people to roll on the bedsheets and create a miracle, ohmy!

Eyeing the child that wear plain and thin robes, then at the beautifully dressed maidservants, a red flag was raised in Wei Yi Yi's heart. She then saw the nanny from far away that's coming only now.

"Are you all from the Moon Palace? Go find the eunuch responsible for disciplinary and received your punishment." She decided that there might be some child abuse on her own. Anyway, a child falling to a lake and his guardians so far away is no joke.

"Empress! It was not on purpose! The young prince wanted to play by the water! He might have seen your majesty and try to get close that's why he end up falling!" One maid reasoned with Wei Yi Yi.

The one beside her continued, "The young prince is quite a curious child and always run everywhere. Empress, he did not do it on purpose."

They actually trying to make the child the escape goat! Teenagers these days are so scary!

It was then that Tang Mei finally found her mistress. She was quite taken aback when she sees the empress with the child.

"Empress.." Tang Mei greeted when she came near.

"Tang Mei, go and fetch more papers and yarns. My nephew and I will fly some kites." Wei Yi Yi readily send her maid to another round of touring the palace just after she finally found her.

"Go receive your punishment. Think what you did wrong. Don't let bengong repeat herself." She indicate the big mamas following Tang Mei to escort the servants on their way.

"Your ladys.h.i.+p? Do you like children?" Tang mei probes.

The empress reach for the towel that one of her maid servants hand to her and cover the child. After rolling it for a few times, she finally have a small sus.h.i.+ roll!

Cuteness is justice ah! This is the right way for a will to live!

Wei Yi Yi finally answered casually with a, "Yep."

'As long as they are not mine!'

Kids are cute and squishy. Good for cuddling. As long as they are not hers, she could play with them just alright. If they start being annoying and started crying, just return them to their mothers!

Tang Mei cannot help but show a sad expression in front of her mistress. The empress probably longs for a child of her own.
