74. Travelling III

Third person POV

Hong er and Weisheng leisurely strolled around the market while holding on their horse's rein. Even though they were wearing commoner's clothes, but their body figure still caught passerby's attention. A very tall and bulky man with a black veil hat covering his face and beside him was a woman that was shorter than him but taller than any women in the market, even taller than some of the men. Her body was slim but curvy, there were some people looking at her with lustful gaze as they were ogling at her body.

The woman was wearing a white veil hat but inside of their veil hat, they wore a face veil that covered half of their face, it made them look more mysterious. Even though they tried really hard to cover their face from public, they still couldn't hide their eyes.

The woman's eyes were big and lovely, it gave a warm and gentle feeling but also strong and wise vibe. On the other side, even though the tall man's eyes were fierce and frightening, they couldn't stop staring at those eyes. But whenever the man looked at the woman, his eyes became gentle. Then they figured out the relationship between them.

People: ' They must be newlywed.'

They didn't realize that they stared at Hong er too long until Weisheng moved his body to block Hong er from their sight and glared at them with murderous gaze. They flinched and immediately scurried away as they didn't want their head to be chopped off by Weisheng.

People: ' He is only gentle towards his wife, aiyo, what were we thinking? Of course every man will be angry if their beautiful wife was being stared by others.'

Hong er used a spell to change her eye color to black, so it could be considered quite safe because no one could recognize her without her golden eyes. No one had ever seen her face before as she never shown them in public. As for Weisheng, even his minister or subjects never seen his face before, he showed his face to Xu family as they were his one of the closest aide and his to be family in law.

Hong er actually noticed that there were some people stared at her with lustful gaze but she couldn't do anything about that as she couldn't just beat them or chase them away. And when Weisheng blocked her from their stares, a warm feeling swarmed her heart. Hong er looked up to Weisheng with a smile.

Hong er: " Sheng ge, thank you."

Weisheng: " En."

Weisheng nodded while glaring at the passerby, Hong er went back to looking around the market. Hong er saw a food stall at the corner of the market, she took Weisheng's hand and pulled him to the food stall.

Hong er: " Uncle, give me 2 of that."

Uncle: " That will be 6 bronze coins Miss."

Hong er took out her small pocket and gave him 6 bronze coins, the uncle took the coins and gave her 2 sticks of meatballs. Hong er took the meatballs and nodded at him, she turned around and gave Weisheng a stick of meatballs. Weisheng scrunched his eyebrows in dissatisfaction.

Weisheng: " Why don't you tell me to pay it?"

Hong er: " Eh? Why?"

Weisheng: " Because I'm the man here."

Hong er: " So?"

Weisheng: " I should be the one to pay it."

Hong er: " Why does it have to be like that? I just wanted to enjoy the money that I have earned."

Weisheng: "…"

Hong er: " Then how about Sheng ge pay next time and we will be equal, right?"

Weisheng thought for a second and nodded.

Weisheng: " En."

Hong er: " Now, the meatballs are going to get cold, ahhnn~"

Weisheng was flustered by Hong er's action because they were at public and being watched by passerby. But Weisheng couldn't deny that he was very happy and his ears got slightly red. He slightly lifted up his face veil and bite the meatballs. Hong er's smile got wider that Weisheng could see her smile through the face veil.

Hong er: " Delicious right?"

Weisheng: " En.

Weisheng replied while deeply staring at Hong er's eyes, but Hong er was oblivious at his stares as she was too busy feeding Weisheng. The uncle was gawking at them, he playfully chuckled at them and whispered.

Uncle: " What a happy newlywed."

Weisheng heard the uncle's words, his mood became a lot brighter, he puffed up his chest and snorted. Hong er was confused by Weisheng's changes in mood, Weisheng suddenly took her hand and walked around the market. Hong er just shrugged her shoulder and let Weisheng pull her around.

After 1 hour of shopping, they mounted their horse and continued their journey. They stopped in every city and travelled around the city. They spent a day in every city and stayed at inn, they slept in different room but the rooms were side by side so they could assist each other when they were in danger.
