Arc 2: Fairy Empress and her Emperor ♤ ♡ ♢ ♧ Chapter 2: Assasination attempt

3rd Person's POV

2 weeks passed by...

"Greetings to Empress Dowager. May she live and long and wealthy life!" The 6 consorts greeted. A woman stood proudly in front of them. Her long black hair with some white hair was tied in a bun filled with all kinds jewels and pearls. She looked with her brown eyes at every consort and smiled. She looked to be about 20 years old but she's actually much older than 20.

A man with a strong lean build entered. His long dark blue hair flowed down to his waist. His red eyes turned gentle as he looked at the Empress Dowager. His black tunic sticked to his lean body as the golden chinese dragons embroidery on his tunic, sparkled as sunlight hit the golden dragons.

He stood before his throne and looked at the 6 beauties before him, all bowing at him. "This consort greets emperor. May he live a long and prosperous life." He nodded and everyone sat down.

The Emperor sat down as did the Empress dowager and the servants quickly placed the food in their tables. The emperor sat in his throne in the front with the floor elevated higher than the rest. By his side, an empty throne, mean't for an empress.

Everyone began eating elegantly while having some small talks here and there. It was a lively party as everyone watched as servants dance for them and music was playing. Some consorts were amking some small talks here and there with words sharp as a knife underneath the sweet voice speaking to each other.

"Son, Im so glad you have a new wife. It feels nice to have a fresh face here." Empress dowager spoke to him.

"Yes, Im glad as well." He smiled which he rarely does.

The Empress was taken aback by his smile. She beamed brightly. "Ah, I wonder when you'll give me a grandchild. This old lady is worried. I wanna spoil my grandchild!" Once she said that, every consort was now secretly listening while glancing at other consorts.

"Don't worry. This son will soon visit one of the consort's rooms. This son is very busy with work that's why he couldn't give empress dowager a grandchild sooner." Once Dīng Xiuyang heard this, she clutched her cup a bit tightly.

"Very busy, then why does the emperor even pass by my room a lot this days, huh!?" Dīng Xiuyang muttered under her breath. No one heard her except the one beside her, Hè Meifeng.

"I'm glad. Please do it soon. This old lady is getting old." They then change the topic and every consort then began scheming of ways to get his attention except for Hè Meifeng and Dīng Xiuyang.

Once everyone finished, the empress dowager then looked at the consorts with eager eyes. "Well then, who shall go first?"

"Both of this consorts shall go first." Dài Yuan and another consort stood up and went in the middle. Nice background music began to play and the both of them dance with fans as their clothes fluttered with each spin. Once it ended, they twirled then posed. They were very synchronized and elegant. Everyone praised them and saying that there dance was beautiful but the emperor didn't notice them making them sad in their hearts.
