"En En ...Ah"

"hah hah... huff.. ah"

What the hell ? clutching my chest I slowly opened my eyes I was in one of those historical bedchamber by the extravagant looks it can only mean to whomever this room belonged was an extraordinary man but what was I doing here wasn't I on the back home from college?

closing my eyes once again I tried to recall what had happened all I remember was

"Mmm your majesty"

holy cow! don't tell me they are doing it why the hell I'm here and what the hell I'm doing here .

I looked down but instead off my buttoned up shirt and torned up jeans I was dressed a in a long red robe and matching skirt .

No no no This can't be happening ignoring the moans of the perverted couple I ran to the only mirror that stood in the outer chamber and let out a silent gasp for the woman reflection wasn't mine it was what the hell she was wearing her lipstick was too horrid and her eyeshadow made her look like a stupid clown from top to bottom she was laden in glittering jewels .

Oh don't tell me I time travelled in the body of some one who can't even do her makeup well .

I closed my eyes once again I can't accept it no! I Mentally screamed someone like me who was known for her beauty through out the college can never accept this horrendous piece of work .

A sharp pain went through my mind this time but not only my memories but even the Poor empress Memories came to me .

She was the daughter of the current Right Prime minister Yuzhe Yue , Ying Yue her mother died when she was three leaving nothing but her last will asking Yue's father to never marry the old man of course agreed and kept his promise until her mother's former maid drugged the prime minister and gave birth to her daughter Ying Yue's half sister Dai Yu .

Later her father did gave the mother and daughter space in his house but never agreed to make them the legitimate first lady of the Yue family . Furious that she had finally grasped a wealthy man but still not able to rise to authority Dai Yu's mother Dong Mei taught her daughter every cunning scheme to steal whatever belonged to Ying Yue.

Dai Yu seems to had not only stolen Yue's riches but she somehow also wriggled in the Imperial palace and became a high ranking concubine.

Hmmm....

Let's see so it is Ying Yue's foolishness that I'm wearing my makeup like this it seems she had allowed Dai yu to do her makeup, Ah the schemes run deep she had not only made Ying Yue a fool but somehow made her husband the Emperor hate her too and the reason I'm here

is :

YING YUE MADE HIS MAJESTY MAD AND HE CALLED HER TO SEE HIM MAKING LOVE WITH HER OWN FUCKING SISTER.

No matter what Ying Yue was this punishment seems to heavy to me because this man just killed his wife. Ying Yue could not withstand the pain of her heart break and looks like she died because of it, a furious urge to burst the head of both the evil surged through my heart but I calmed myself down it was ancient China afterall even a little scratch to the Emperor and I can be beheaded.

Looking at my ghastly reflection and turned to the entrance gate.

"Pshh anyone's out here?" I called through the little crack from the window I had no intention of letting anyone else to hear the poor performance of the couple .

"Your majesty ! ?" came a startled voice and a guard dressed in ancient Chinese uniform for army soldier appeared his sword was hanging by his side but thankfully he hadn't taken it out to swing it at me " What are you doing here your Majesty?" he asked bewildered

"Go and call Dan Dan " I said to him imperiously

He opened his mouth to retort but I cut him off before he can even begin

" I might have been punished tonight but I'm still the Empress and daughter of Prime minister Yuzhe Yue do I need your permission now to summon my maid?"

glaring at him I conveyed my message that it wasn't a request but an order which he seemed to had understood as he ran out of the Emperor's place.

Externally I wanted to pretend a complete stuck up proud and haughty Empress but internally I was screaming ... screaming for my bad luck and silently hoping that the Emperor had enough stamina to withstand a couple hours for the damage to Yue's face was too much. What seemed like an hour a chubby

sqaut maid came rushing in the Emperor's garden and to the window where I stood she was completely out of breath and I couldn't blame her for huffing in between every word she spoke.

"My .. huff ... lady ...huff ... what's wrong huff..." she asked worridely .

I could tell that she was one of those genuine supporter Ying Yue had in The Imperial Harem.

" Bring me my lipstick not this horrid red one but slightly pinker one and take this jewellery back to my place I don't need them "

It couldn't have been plainer that how low the maids expectations were from her master for she looked for a complete whole minute at me like I just told her to commit Emperor's murder.

"Ahem?" not wanting to waste anymore time I fake coughed to gain her attention back

" Ah sorry forgive me my lady " flustered she spoke " Anything else "

"Yes bring me something to clean this horrible makeup of mine and throw every thing that concubine Yu had given me in past remember to throw it unusually far I don't even want a glimpse of those things. "

The maid looked as though she would kiss me but simply nodded and ran out.

" Just give me five minutes My lady "

True to her word Dan Dan came in five minutes max if I minus the minute she tripped on her way out when she ran to get what I asked her off.

"Here you go My lady " she said thrusting a small bowl filled with cold water and clean cloth to wipe my face, her face was shining in anticipation as if she had been waiting for this to happen for years.

I simply nodded and set to work at once as I imagined it was a tedious dull work with out my miscellar water, I had to rub my skin almost raw before I could get off the disgusting horrid red lipstick.

Having cleaned my face of the monstrosity I accepted the oils and lip tint from Dan Dan

once My work was finished I straightened up to admire my work .

Ying Yue was a certified beauty no surprise that Dai Yu wanted her beauty to be hidden from the Emperor, her inky black hair now free of those extra jewellery was smooth as silk and shone brightly even in the light of the oil lamp but it wasn't her face or hair that left an imprint on me it was her eyes now that the eyeshadow was washed off that made her eyes dull and gloomy A perfect pair of the most beautiful violet eyes stared back at me they weren't the violent shade but rather a mix of stormy grays and slight pinkish glow of the sun.

These jewel like eyes as I correctly recall Ying Yue inherited from her mother the late mistress of Yue household .

Looking at Ying Yue's reflection even I the one residing in her body couldn't help but feel jealous of her attributes she was a goddess no a nymph because some one as beautiful as her can not be human .

"My lady?" Dan Dan whispere called me, abandoning the wall mirror before I drive myself crazy and become a narcissistic I head out to the window in the outer chamber.

A look of complete disbelief etched upon Dan Dan's face her lips were moving but she seem to had lost her voice to speak

"Take these back " freeing her of her responsibility to praise her now suddenly changed mistress I spoke " and remember to throw every thing I got from concubine Yu I don't even want to see a single head pin!"

I said everything in a much calmer and cool voice eveb though I felt like gutting this Concubine Yu

" Already Done My lady " beamed Dan Dan as she took the bowl and towel back " me and Ji Ji had been waiting for years to do that "

"Good now go back before anyone wake up"

nodding Dan Dan ran out of the garden and I closed to window and sat back on the chair on which the Emperor not so pleasantly forced the former Empress to sit.

" Ahmm mmm Em ..

En...An

....Ah ... you are so... ah .. good Your Majesty"

a female voice that no doubt belonged to Dai Yu resounded through the bedchamber into the outer hall.

I bit back a snort it was clear that the Emperor was anything but good having watched my fair share of porn I knew how to differ between a fake moan and a real one and it was clear that Dai Yu wasn't even feeling any thing but she only wanted to hurt Ying Yue.

A bitter itch to call the bitch out and beat the hell out of her swelled inside her chest which was still aching it looks like Ying Yue died of heart attack poor girl.

Shaking my head I sent a silent prayer to the heavens for the real Ying Yue's soul before squashing the devil's urge to beat Dai Yu .

Settling myself more comfortably I waited for them to finish, Now many would have simply loved to watch real live telecast of this hanky panky but I had watched far worse than this and whatever they did or no matter how much they moaned even a slightest tingle couldn't be raise in my body .

Finally the sun rose and sunshine filtered through the drapes on Windows and doors the familiar chirping of birds woke me up and I quickly sat up straight who knows What that Perverted Emperor might take offence to.

The curtain to the bedroom opened and stepped out the two culprits responsible for the death of Ying Yue

at once I rose and bowed to that man in ceremony even though I wanted nothing more than to rip his balls out .

" This Empress greets the Majesty a wonderful morning " For reason best known I kept my voice calm and chirpy .

And the effect was outstanding not only Dai Yu but even The Emperor was knocked out cold for few seconds .

"Ahem Yes Yes " recovering his shock the Emperor spoke " You may rise "

And I did if the shock before was something it was no way comparable to what they felt now stunned disbelieve was etched on his majesty face while a look of horror and rage was on open display on Dai Yu's face.

Looking back at Dai Yu as if to confirm whar he was seeing was real the Emperor turned his head slowly back to me .

" And who are you?" his blue eyes were cold chips of ice and for the first time I took in his entire appearance even in his night robe with sweat covering his entire body the man looked simply stunning and if a speciman like this existed in the 20th century than he would definitely be a lady killer .

I smiled not the cold one but a beautiful happy one and of course Ying Yue had died but it was because of her own foolishness to love this ice cold guy more than herself but I wasn't dead I'm still living maybe a thousand years prior to my birth but I was alive and this was something worth being happy for .

My smile did what I was hoping for both the Emperor and Dai Yu who were expecting me to be in tears couldn't even comprehend what was happening and simply stood dumbfounded.

"How cold your Majesty I was wrong but how could you forget your own Empress IT'S ME YING YUE " I declared leaving the two speechless

The Emperor and Dai yu merely looked at me confused, The Emperor couldn't believe his eyes that the woman who was standing in front of him was the same foolish woman who had pestered him for an entire year.

And I can see the perfectly morphed rage in Dai Yu's eyes ,she was an excellent actress that was sure of what I can give her yes she had lost her composure for a split second but quickly covered it up and now she was looking at me with an expression that clearly defined as being politely bewildered.

But being the star of the drama club of my college I knew that Dai yu was faking everything even her slightest expression was a facade , she was excellent but my talents far excelled hers.

"Your Majesty " said Dai Yu calmly even when her eyes screamed for nothing but my painful death "what happened to you I mean are you reall- oh I'm so sorry how can I "

Excel lent what a wonderful swine she is not only is trying to say something was wrong with me but she was also depicting that I wasn't the real empress.

hah

Just wait you bitch I mentally screamed .

"Of course I'm real whatever you mean ? " I spoke calmly yet hurriedly that stupid emperor was now wearing a frown as though contemplating whether I'm really the Empress or not honestly how thick can one get

" And as for my change it's all thanks to My mother your late aunt your Majesty. "

"My aunt? " The Emperor frowned as though he couldn't understand what I just had spoken "but isn't she-"

"Dead " I interposed "but she is still alive in our hearts , and she visited me last night it was like an illusion or I could say a dream Because for few minutes the entire room vanished and I was standing in a field of red roses "

Red roses were the favorites of the former lady of Yue family there was no way anyone but her closest one's to know there you go Dai Yu I justed plummeted your plan .

"She said she was going to help me and the next thing I know I was surrounded by white light and I was back in the room " I hastily explained or more like made up the entire story there was no way I could say to that Emperor 'Heu! mate I just played you I wasn't a fool to begin with' .

" And I started to Understand what a terrible person I have been for that this humble Empress beg the forgiveness of your kind Majesty" .

This time I actually did a dogeja Honestly speaking this Emperor didn't even desreved my precious time but my life was im his hands if he thought I was impersonating the former Empress he will have me executed.

Only if we were in the 20th century bastard I wouldn't even had glance his way a second time.

He stood there cold and aloof as though nothing could ever matter to him I didn't dared to peak at his appearance once again, I had seen every thing I had to He was strong built his olive skin was thinly coated with sweat from his last night huballololo, his long black haur even darker than Ying Yue's was messy but no matter how handsome he was in the end of the day his eyes reflected what he felt , they didn't held the slightest of warmth I was certain than he couldn't even love himself much less Dai Yu if he had anything to do with her it was only because he wanted to get rid of Ying Yue.

"Rise " after what felt like an hour he finally rumbled in his deep voice .

I rose at once my head still bowed I wanted him to feel that I was really humbled up , I needed his trust in this thing if i messed up I swear I could end in my grave the second time.

"I will believe you this time " he muttered " but you had to promise me that-"

"I won't even look at your majesty's way I promise ....My love for you have ended with my foolishness " I finished and looked up ..

I knew I was pushing it but I don't love you anymore it needed to be imprinted in his mind .

His eyes met mine and they held pure shock and what was that rage no disappointment? why would he be angry afterall hasn't he tried his very best to get rid of me ?

I mentally shook my head and smiled at the Emperor just let me go I have no interest in you or being the Empress just let me leave.

"Very well as long as you remember it " he said coldly making me even more confuse what the hell mate didn't you just wanted Ying Yue to leave you alone don't tell me you don't like losing your number one admirer?

" Help Concubine Yu to put clothes on "

Wait a second YOU ARE ACTUALLY ASKING THE EMPRESS THE MOTHER OF THE EMPIRE TO DRESS UP A MERE CONCUBINE!!!!!

I looked at Dai Yu she was leering at me of course she was I could she the contempt in her eyes I can even hear her say "you see even if you are the Empress the Emperor favours me You are nothing just a discarded Empress " .

Hah you want me to dress her up . In your dreams

" Somebody " I yelled my voice thunderous " Send for Concubine Yu's personal maid she need her to help her dressing up " .

I said this all while looking at him the Emperor he was bewildered at my change I knew Ying Yue had always done what he had said in past if it was the real Ying Yue she would already be working on dressing that mere concubine.

But I wasn't her and I wasn't bowing to her or him unless my head counted.

"Sister" Spoke Dai Yu her voice meek and feeble as if she can't even lift a single leaf " Why are you doing this just do what the Em-"

"Forgive me Concubine Yu " I interrupted her Sister? wanted to forget diffrence in our status and stand on the same plane so you can order me around? never

"I'm not only the Empress but also the current lady of Yue's household and The Right Prime minister's daughter how could I do such a job if something like this get out than not only will I loose face but also the Yue's household

and the Imperial Edict clearly states that the Empress can only bow to The Emperor how can I just forget that? Are you implying that your status is above the Emperor?"

My quick witness had done the deed Dai Yu was speechless and the Emperor was looking at me in surprise and was he proud?

oh so he was testing me wasn't he .

"If your majesty will excuse me " I bowed my head in courtesy

and he nodded clearly dismissing me .

I turned around and left a plan clearly forming in my head to take every thing back that once belonged to Ying Yue.
