5 THE GLUTTON 2

Back in her room queeneth began to check out her surroundings.

Not bad. At least im an empress. I really do hope they have red wine.

Suddenly the door opened and a man dressed in white robes came in with a handfan of the same colour. He looked like an immortal.Queeneth began to blink her eyes rapidly

Oh my gosh. Could it be that as an empress I get to talk with heavenly meat pies like this?'' she thought to herself.

The man who just came in cleared his throat and sat down on a chair.

So you really forgot your manners?You won't pay respects to zhen?

Zhen?What is that? Ahh its your name . How silly of me . My name is queeneth and you are zhen though yours is quite peculiar.Why are you in my chambers anyway?Or could it be you are a prince?. A real prince? Wow! I can't breathe

She ran to him and exclaimed.

You really are a prince and a beautiful one at that. If you were a lady in my world how many agencies would fight for you?How many would fall in love with you?

The man sighed

Li hua

Uh? Your talking to me?Oh wait I am the empress

Li hua did throwing you into the cold palace cause you to turn silly or are you pretending?

Queeneth smiled

I am queeneth not li hua

Where did you dream about that strange name? Tell zhen

Zhen?I just ordered food but im afraid it wont be enough for both of us. You must be the emperors son right.Tell me your name. I better find a good friend before I meet that old man

Who are you referring to?

Simple your dad

Dont you have any fear?

Why should I fear?Citizens have freedom of speech dont they?

Now the man was beginning to have a headache.She has really lost her memories.

Suddenly the door opened and 4 maids carrying trays of the ordered food came inside .

Wow they look delicious.

She immediately snatched one lap of chicken and bit on it.The young man before her was stunned.How was this his refined empress?How could he show her to people?This was a disgrace, a great disgrace. Before their widened eyes full of shock she ravaged every thing leaving only the bones. However her belly remained flat. Every one wondered "Where did the food go?''.

I am still not full yet. Please give me the red wine

I am sorry but the empress cannot drink red wine

Oh there is a prohibition? Then go prepare me 13 laps of chicken,10 big bowls of noodles and of course an extra bucketful of chicken

My empress what do you mean?

You don't get me? Bring me chicken that could fill a bucket approximately all the chicken you are to bring should be 30 laps

An alarm bell rang in the emperors head and the 4 maids.

Can you finish all of that? He asked in disbelief.

Sure now hurry up or you might find a starved corpse later.

Yes your majesty.'' the 4 maids replied and left with the trays. The emperor stared at this new version of his wife-----a starving ghost.
