King's Regrets
The Eps 21

After coming out of the palace and staying at the residence of the eldest daughter, empress Yan looked happier. Perhaps because all this time he had been depressed within the royal palace by emperor Shun and concubine Ning.

Today the eldest daughter takes the empress Yan away to some jewelry stores, cloth shops, to the oldest daughter's confidant dress tailor and also to the famous restaurant in the city of Zo.

While in the city of Zo, Empress Yan was really like a bird that had just come out of her cage. The eldest daughter was very happy to see Empress Yan so happy.

"If only Xuan Yi treated you better, you would probably feel happier than this."

Empress Yan saw the eldest daughter looking at her with a gaze full of pity and regret. He walked up to the eldest daughter and hugged her arm.

"I don't like it when the eldest sister sees me like that." Said empress Yan.

"Ah, sorry. I only feel regret for Xuan Yi's treatment of you all along."

Empress Yan shook her head "That's not one of the eldest brother."

Empress Yan walked over and looked at some of the cloths that were in front of her.

"The eldest brother isn't the emperor's noble, so the eldest brother doesn't need to feel that way. After all, the eldest brother once said, if I can do whatever I want." Empress Yan.

"Yan's sister, are you happy?" Ask the eldest daughter.

Empress Yan looked at the eldest daughter and smiled.

"Happy can be because of many things, like today. I'm so happy to be out with my oldest brother."

The eldest daughter smiled at the words of Empress Yan. Although that was not what the eldest daughter wanted to hear, but it was already enough to make her relieved.

"Can I make clothes with these cloths?" Ask empress Yan.

"Yes. You pick the nicest material you want."

"Thank you, eldest brother."

Empress Yan then took a look around and selected some of the fabrics she wanted.

After buying the cloth and sending the cloths to the eldest daughter's trust tailor, they went to a restaurant.

The owner of the restaurant was already very familiar with the eldest daughter, so he prepared a special room for the eldest daughter and empress Yan on the upper floor.

"It's a restaurant I go to a lot, I hope you like the food they make." The eldest daughter.

"If it's a restaurant that the oldest sister comes to often, it means that all the food here has no doubt about the taste."

"You're very good at talking, Yan's sister."

The eldest daughter and empress Yan laughed together.

In the royal palace, concubine Nuan was preparing clothes for emperor Shun. It had become his duty and was never to be replaced, although concubine Ning once asked emperor Shun for him to do it.

Concubine Nuan, took out a golden-brown outfit with a very firm dragon pattern.

After choosing the clothes, concubine Nuan saw emperor Shun enter the room. Her hair seems to fall, but still looks neat.

"Hamba has prepared clothes for you noble." Speak concubine Nuan softly.

"Help me wear it."

Concubine Nuan was a little surprised to hear the request of emperor Shun, it was because the previous emperor Shun was always helped by his two servants.

"Are you not willing to do it?" Asked Emperor Shun who saw concubine Nuan silent.

"Ampuniated noble servant, I will do it."

Emperor Shun nodded, he then walked up to concubine Nuan and stood in front of her.

Consort Nuan carefully helped emperor Shun put on his clothes and also placed a gold-colored belt on emperor Shun.

Emperor Shun looked closely at concubine Nuan "I never even asked her to change my clothes." The emperor Shun.

Concubine Nuan heard the muttering of emperor Shun, she understood who emperor Shun was referring to.

Emperor Shun slightly raised his head and smiled.

"That's impossible, I don't like that woman at all."

Concubine Nuan stood up and returned to tidying up Emperor Shun's clothes. After that the concubine Nuan walked over to a table with a small mirror on it.

"Please sit down, your servant will also help to make your hair look glorious."

Emperor Shun said, he walked up and sat down on a small chair.

Consorts Nuan took a small comb and slowly began combing the emperor Shun's hair long enough but smooth as silk.

"There's no harm in us liking someone, it's just gonna change our lives a little bit more beautiful and colorful, your honor." Nuan's concubine said as she combed Emperor Shun's hair.

Emperor Shun was silent, he was trying to understand what concubine Nuan said. During this time she had indeed never felt any sense of comfort with concubine Ning, she had only used concubine Ning to make empress Yan hurt and hate her. So that Empress Yan asked her to divorce because she could not stand it.

Concubine Nuan who saw emperor Shun speechless became understand, if emperor Shun actually also liked empress Yan.

"It's over, your majesty." Said concubine Nuan.

Emperor Shun stared at his reflection in a small mirror in front of him.

"Yes. You can come back."

"Okay, your honor."

Concubine Nuan bowed her body slightly before she left Emperor Shun's room.

After concubine Nuan left, emperor Shun stood up and took the tea glass on the other table and slowly drank the tea.

At first glance Emperor Shun recalled Empress Yan who yesterday had smiled at her brother very sweetly.

"It looks like I should make plans to go to another country with empress Yan." Emperor Shun muttered without him noticing.

Emperor Shun did not realize whatever he was doing it would be meaningless to the current Empress Yan. And even though the feeling of emperor Shun had changed on empress Yan as well it was already too late.

"The eunuch chairman." Emperor Shun.

The head eunuch who had been standing outside the door of the room immediately entered upon hearing Emperor Shun call out to him.

"Hamba here, your majesty."

"You set everything up. Next month me and Empress Yan will be going to Ming country."

"Okay, your honor."

"Remember to prepare the best gift."

"The servant understands your majesty."

The head eunuch is out. The face of the chief eunuch was very confused.

During this time emperor Shun never let Empress Yan out from within the royal palace. But now he instead invited Empress Yan to visit another country.

This is a new record in the history of the Qin state empire during the era of emperor Shun's reign.

After the head eunuch left, emperor Shun smiled.

"I've fulfilled your wish to go out of the palace, so you must also fulfill my wish this time, empress Yan." Emperor Shun himself.

The new concubine Ning was about to enter the king's palace hearing Emperor Shun's words. His face that had originally looked happy had changed instantly.

"Why should Empress Yan again accompany the emperor, didn't the emperor dislike her? May the emperor be...."

Concubine Ning turned around and left the king's palace with a questionable mind and a feeling of worry.

During the trip back to her pavilion, concubine Ning kept thinking about what had happened to emperor Shun.

A few weeks ago the emperor still looked very resentful towards Empress Yan, but now he just wanted to take Empress Yan away to Ming country.

"Empress Yan, I will not let you snatch the emperor's affection from me. Tonight I'm going to make the emperor go crazy again for me." Muttered concubine Ning while smiling cunningly.
