Long Live the Emperor, Minus Me (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 31
Chapter 2.
“So, Lady Martina said she’d help me pick out clothes.”
It was a picture-perfect scene: a girl with silver hair like moonlight spilling over a garden brimming with lilies, her eyes as dark as night, sitting across from a boy with fiery red hair and sea-blue eyes.
“Well, Lady Martina always dresses so beautifully, right? So I asked her. I thought it’d be nice to look especially pretty that day.”
The boy, quietly listening to the girl chatter while flipping through a catalog, suddenly tossed out a remark.
“Your sister-in-law will be sad about this.”
The girl was Blanche Loa Vandaluin, six-year-old peace envoy of the Ramore Kingdom, and the boy was Melchizedek Georges Pendleton, eight-year-old Crown Prince of the Letail Empire. Thus, the “sister-in-law” the boy referred to was Empress Liana of the Empire.
Melchizedek and his playmate Blanche were discussing Empress Liana’s upcoming birthday celebration, which was only three months away.
“I can’t very well ask the birthday honoree herself to pick my outfit, can I?”
After that disastrous tea party, the only person who had formally apologized to Blanche was Lady Pania Seine Martina. Naturally, aside from those residing in the imperial palace, Pania became Blanche’s sole companion.
Though Blanche’s limited social circle made this understandable, Pania—who surely had many friends—seemed to have taken a particular liking to Blanche for reasons unknown, frequently visiting Blanche’s quarters or inviting her to her own home.
As their friendship grew, Blanche eventually asked Pania to help her choose an outfit for Liana’s birthday banquet.
“Her Majesty the Empress has already taken care of all the preparations. Sister-in-law is so idle these days she might go mad.”
Once the birthday drew nearer, Liana would surely be busy deciding on outfits and such, but for now, she had time—after all, one couldn’t spend three months preparing for an annual celebration every single year.
Blanche was nervous simply because this was her first time attending, whereas Melchizedek hadn’t even settled on a dress code yet, let alone an actual outfit—case closed.
When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem
This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.
Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
