157. Xue Lang First Lesson II

Third person POV

Hong er demonstrated Xue Lang how to do his warm-up properly and asked many things about his element which he himself didn't know. Hong er had tested out his element by a drip of his blood on her badge and it showed that Xue Lang's element is ice.

After he was done with his warm-up, Hong er showed him a few things that they could make with ice like shield, weapons, etc. Then Hong er explained to him every aspect that he had to be cautious of when using magic and the pros and cons of magic.

Xue Lang listened to Hong er with full concentration and when Hong er told him to make a simple sword for his first try, he failed to do it even after many times of repeating the process that Hong er had told him. He couldn't think up how a sword supposed to look like as he never seen one before.

His eyes got watery, he was afraid that Hong er would threw him away after she saw how useless he was. Hong er thought up an idea and consoled him that it was fine for him to fail at the first few times. She brought him to a weapon warehouse near the training field and introduced the weapon on by one.

She summoned her sword and excitedly taught Xue Lang everything related to weapon for 2 hours because she thought that for Xue Lang to cast a magic for his first day was quite challenging for him.

They went back to her chamber and talked about a lot of things related to weapons and magic. They saw the servants who were in charge of her courtyard were still standing outside of the room. Hong er approached them and asked.

Hong er: "Has His Majesty Emperor wake up yet?"

Servant: "No, Your Majesty Empress."

Hong er: "Doesn't His Majesty have a morning court in one and half hour? Why did Qiyi or Qier not wake His Majesty up?"

Servant: "They had tried for a few times, Your Majesty Empress. But His Majesty Emperor said that he won't get up if it is not Your Majesty Empress."

The servant said timidly. Hong er sighed and told them to prepare breakfast for the three of them. The servants obediently complied to her order.

Hong er and Xue Lang walked into the room and saw Weisheng lightly snoring on their bed. Hong er chuckled by how bad Weisheng's acting skill was, she ignored him and poured herself a cup of tea.

Hong er: "Sheng ge, wake up. Don't forget that you have a morning court."

Weisheng: "Hhmm."

Weisheng hummed and pouted when he peeked at Hong er who was drinking tea peacefully with Xue Lang at the other side of the room. He waited for Hong er to approach him but after a few minutes, there was no trace of Hong er standing up from her seat.

Weisheng furrowed his brow and get up from the bed and stomped his way towards Hong er. Hong er slowly looked up to Weisheng and smiled brightly.

Hong er: "Aiya~ My husband had woke up. Wash your face and have breakfast."

Hong er said sweetly and handed a towel to Weisheng. Weisheng took the towel from Hong er's hand and left with a "hmph!" sound. Hong er chuckled seeing how giant her husband is but his mentality is like a 5 years old kid.

Weisheng came back to Hong er with his hair around his face dripping with water. Hong er told him to sit beside her and took his towel from his hands to dry off his wet hair. She saw him avoiding eye contact with her and was frowning like he hates the world. Hong er smiled at him and pecked his lips a few times.

Hong er: "En. My husband did a good job in waking up by himself."

Weisheng's eyes widened in surprise and his ears started to get red. A smile escaped from his lips as he pecked Hong er's lips and spoke in low voice.

Weisheng: "Go-good morning."

Hong er was caught off guard by her husband's shy behavior. She literally could see a tail wagging at full speed behind Weisheng, she giggled and pulled him to sit beside her.

Hong er: "Hehehe~ Good morning~ Now, let's eat our breakfast."

Weisheng: "En."

Weisheng took his chopsticks and out of nowhere, a piece of wonton was placed in front of his lips. He looked over Hong er who was smiling brightly at him while offering her wonton.

Hong er: "Aahh~"

Weisheng ate the wonton and munched in delight. Hong er took one piece of wonton and offered it to Xue Lang.

Hong er: "Aahh~"

Different from Weisheng, Xue Lang shyly bite the wonton and he felt his whole life was blessed. After feeding both of them, Hong er started to eat her wonton noodle. Their breakfast time passed by quickly and Weisheng departed from her palace for his morning court. Not long after, Xue Lang left for his next class leaving Hong er alone for now.

After making sure each of them had left, Hong er went to Lu Cixi's palace to give her morning greeting, they discussed various things like clothes, food, Da Qi's economy, even politics. The cheerful Princess Yue was absent because she have classes too.

Hong er went back to her palace an hour later, she looked over Weisheng's documents and separated all of the documents into 2 piles. One pile was the documents that she had already signed and the other pile was the documents that Weisheng need to look over again. She was almost done with signing half of the documents when Weisheng entered her chamber.

Hong er: "Hm? The morning court ended?"

Weisheng: "En."

Weisheng replied whilst walking towards Hong er.

Hong er: "Aiya, I am too caught up in the documents that I forgot about the time."

Weisheng pecked her lips and hugged her.

Weisheng: "I had punished the party who were related to the case."

Hong er: "En. They deserved that."

They enjoyed the moment of silence then Weisheng recalled something.

Weisheng: "After this, I am going to visit the place where the tournament will be held. Do you want to come?"

Hong er: "I want to!"

Hong er excitedly nodded her head, Weisheng smiled tenderly at her and tapped his lips with his finger.

Weisheng: "Where is my reward?"

Hong er: 'So childish.'

Hong er chuckled and gave him a long kiss on his lips.

Hong er: "Satisfied?"

Weisheng: "Very. Let's change our clothes."

Hong er: "En."

They went into their dressing room to change their clothes into something more convenient. However, during their lovey dovey time, they didn't realize that all of servants were watching them and their cheeks were red from embarrassment.

Thus, the news about the inseparable love between the emperor and the empress spread all around the palace in the speed of sound. Lu Cixi who had heard about their intimacy became happier at the thought of her daughter-in-law.

*Flashback to after the match between Hong er, Meiyun, Ah Tong and Ah Xi.

Meiyun went to her room to take a rest before she could reach her room, a stream of blood gushed out of her nostril. She quickly covered her nose with her hand to prevent the blood from dripping to the floor. Qiyi who was passing by instantly ran to Meiyun's side and helped her to stand up straight.

Qiyi: "Are you okay?"

Meiyun: "I-I'm okay. Just hit my nose while fighting so it's fine. it will stop in a few minutes."

Qiyi: "If you say so."

Meiyun: "En. I have to go to take some rest. Bye."

Meiyun hastily went inside her room and close the door behind her.
