《Emperor's Pampered Cannon fodder》2Why Getting a Divorce is So Hard?
Advertisement
There was only one way out of this life for Gongsun Li. If she could get divorce from the emperor, nobody could keep her captivated in this hell of a palace!
"And that should be easy." She thought.
She just had to see the emperor and ask for it. Of course the mighty emperor wouldn't make fuss about getting a divorce from a lowly concubine, would he?
So, Gongsun Li took a deep breath and got ready to see the emperor.
A few days later.......
Gongsun li returned to her room and fell on her bed with a loud thud. She was tired as hell!!!!
These few days, she ran all around the palace just to see the emperor tirelessly and guess what?!! She didn't get even a glance! Gongsun Li felt like pulling all her hair out in frustration! She was about to do that but again a high pitched voice rang all around the palace.
"Hey, you all lowly concubines!! Get your ass here right now!!"
"Don't we deserve a little respect as the emperor's wife?" Gongsun li murmured with a tired sigh.
"No, we don't."
Surprised with the answer she turned to the source of voice. It was a pretty girl, Gongsun li got only her side view because the girl was staring ahead. Her expression was calm with a subtle smile on lips.
"But why? We are the emper-
"Emperor's wife?", the girl asked with a sarcastic tone in her voice. Gongsun li stared at her and didn't know what to say.
"We are his majesty's wife in name only. Actually we were brought here as maids and nothing else."
"What a pathetic logic!! Why would he marry us if we were just maids?"
Now the girl turned and stared right into her face. There was still smile in her eyes.

"That you should ask his majesty yourself, don't you think?"
Wtf!!!
Gongsun Li was just processing her words while the head servant shouted again,
"Listen, you all. His majesty is going on a tour to the han state. His majesty needs a personal maid there. Get ready you all! One of the lucky one can be picked any time"
As soon as she announced it, gasps and whispers filled the room.
Gongsun Li felt like she was dying of anticipation. Her whole aura bloomed with lights and flowers. It was a huge opportunity to see the emperor and get a divorce!!!
"But you all have to go through tough scrutiny and prove your capability before that."
Whaaaaaat!! Gongsun Li felt exasperated and her eyes started to twitch......
It's not like you are choosing a general to lead the war, it's just a personal maid you have to pick, Is there any need to do all that, You morons??!!
All her hopes vanished into thin air.
Wuhuhu, Why getting a divorce is so hard?
But she couldn't give up! This was her only chance, so she mustered all her courage and announced,
"Xiaonu (this little women) would feel very honored to have the chance of serving his majesty. So, please consider xiaonu"
Gongsun Li predicted as soon as she announced, all the other concubines would protest and try to get the chance.
But there was only... erm.. silence?
She knew something was not right and looked around her surrounding.
"Are u sure about it?" someone murmured behind her. Everyone was looking at her with either fear or pity.
What the hell? Why was there everything opposite of what she read in novels before? Were not all the concubines supposed to fight for the emperor's attention?
She felt like crying but lacked tears.
However the head servant named Elder Jiang looked at her with a smirk.

"Then it's decided. You are picked to join His highness."
Fountain of tears started flowing through her eyes. Wasn't it supposed to be a hard competition?
With a heart full of sadness, she headed back to her room.
"I heard you got picked as the personal maid", a deep voice entered her ears and she turned to see who it was.
He was.... handsome!!!!! Handsome as hell!!!
Maybe he is a guard.
Broad shoulder, chiseled jaw, thin lips!!!
Wow!!! He was a perfect god!!!
Suddenly a light bulb went off her head! Maybe she could make him her boyfriend in this life!! That would be so good. She was not used to stay single for long, anyway.
General Song Jian was amused to see the changes of expression on the concubine's face as he stood before her.
What is going on in this lass' little head?
However the next her expression turned into a proud one as she declared with closed eyes,
"It was a tough competition, you know."
Song jian tried hard to suppress his laugh.
Hard competition?? Really?!
Whenever the time of emperor's tour comes, all the concubines try to run away as far as possible. There were rumours that once a concubine goes on a tour with his highness, she never returns alive.
He was sure nobody would agree to be a personal maid this time too but suddenly a concubine volunteered to be the personal maid which evoked his interest. Now, seeing the weird expression coming from this concubine, he could tell why she agreed to volunteer. To explain in one sentence, 'She is crazy'.
Seeing that the guard was trying to suppress his mocking laugh, Gongsun Li became furious..
slaaap!!!!
she slapped him on the arms hard and the next all the guards were around her with swords on her throat.
"How dare you attack our General?
Ge.. General .. he was th.. the General!!!!
'Hehehe' Gongsun Li let out a nervous laugh as she hid behind Song jian.
"Hehehe. It is nothing serious guys. We were just being friends, we were childhood friends after all, weren't we?"
She asked the General with pleading eyes that said, 'Please,have mercy on my life.'
Noticing that he was not protesting, she put her arms around his shoulder to prove her point. It was nothing embarrassing for her when her life was on line but as a general of ancient era who never had a close relationship with any woman, it was embarrassing as hell.
His cheeks were flaming red as he shoved her hands away.
What!!!!!! He is not playing along?T hat means she is............... dooomed!!!
"Yes, yes. We were childhood friends. Get back to your position" Song Jian ordered the guards with a cough and fled away like his butt was on fire as if he was never there.
👘👘👘👘👘👘👘
Soon the time of the departure came.
Meanwhile, Gongsun Li was being trained on the emperor's style of living and proper ways to serve him. She was attentive too because there was a clear picture on her mind. Her eyes rolled upwards as she imagined a scenerio...
Many many days later, being extremely pleased with her service, the emperor asks her with full of smiles,
"My lovely maid, this king is grateful to the service you provided. So, you are free to make any wishes that this king will turn true"
Then her eyes turns glittery as she replies,
"Your highness, this lowly concubine wants nothing but di..divorce"
"Okay. Zhen grants your wish. From now on we are divorc-"
"Gongsun Li! Gongsun Li!!" Some one jerked her awake from her daydreaming.
"Hey, why did you wake me up?! I was just a second away from-"
"From what?"
"From getting divorced." she mumbled incoherently.
