Time Travelling: My Love from the Royal Family

It was getting colder these days. Even though it was not winter, cold winds were becoming sharp. The chrysanthemums in the Imperial Garden were blooming, bursting with beauty, not afraid of the cold in late autumn.

"Your Majesty, the chrysanthemums are blooming so well. How about letting me pick some of them and put them in a vase?" Nancy said with a smile. "His Majesty likes chrysanthemums very much. He says that the chrysanthemums would rather die on a branch than fall to the ground."

"It is better to die with incense on the branch, than to fall with the north wind." The empress poked at Nancy's head. "I told you to read poems more often, but you didn't listen to me. If His Majesty heard your ridiculous verses, he would laugh at you."

"I don't need to read so many poems. Your Majesty, you know a lot of them. I Just need to learn a little from you,"

walking to them briskly. She bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Before the empress could bow down, the emperor had taken her hand and pulled her up. "You don't have to be so ceremonious. Haven't I told you? You don't have to be so formal in front of me."

Feeling delighted by what he said, the empress flashed a smile. She was about to speak when Michelle came over and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty. I have prepared your favorite dishes in the Eternal Palace. By the way, I know you always enjoy chrysanthemums. I am arranging for my people to move all of them to the Eternal Palace."

The emperor's face darkened. "When I came here, I saw you offend the empress. What was that all about?"

Michelle's smile went stiff. "Your Majesty, I... I didn't offend her. It is just that her maid didn't know the rules. I just gave her a little punishment."
