145. First Day As His Wife II

Lu Cixi was leisurely talking to Hong er about the responsibilities of an empress that was never written in a book or taught by teachers before, she taught Hong er from her experience. What she found pleasing was Hong er silently listened to her every word without getting bored, Hong er maintained an eye contact with her and sometimes would refill her empty cup.

Princess Yue: " Sister-in-law!"

Hong er was quite surprised with the sudden yell as she could hardly hear any footstep. She heard a cheerful voice followed with a few pant, she looked toward to the source of the voice and smiled brightly knowing that it was the cute little sister.

Hong er: " Yes?"

Princess Yue gasped so loud that even the guard outside the courtyard could hear her. Who wouldn't be surprised to see their already perfect in everything sister-in-law's a rare beauty.

Princess Yue: " My God… My nephew and niece must be handsome and pretty looking."

Princess Yue muttered to herself then she snapped out of her mind when she realized everyone was looking at her with weird eyes. She coughed into her fist to hide her embarrassment, she greeted the three of them and sat beside

Princess Yue: " Aiya, sister-in-law. Why are you so early in the morning?"

Hong er: " Early?"

Princess Yue: " Yeah, and surprisingly big bro can wake up."

Princess Yue's eyes scanned Weisheng from head to toe, ensuring the man that sat beside her sister-in-law was indeed her big brother.

Princess Yue: " What method did sister-in-law use to get my big bro out of the bed?"

Hong er: " Just a few words."

Hong er giggled at the thought of Weisheng's panicked face when she said he would have to sleep in his own room. Princess Yue glanced at Weisheng's indifferent face and she noticed some of his tea spilled on his fingers that held on the cup.

Princess Yue: ' Is sister-in-law's words are that shocking?'

Hong er: " How come Princess Yue be here?"

Princess Yue: " Oohh, I was so curious of sister-in-law's face therefore I rushed here after I got the news that sister-in-law arrived at Imperial mother's palace. My goodness, your beauty exceeded my expectation."

Hong er: " Ahahaha~ To me, Princess Yue is prettier."

Princess Yue: " Really?"

Princess Yue had listened to all flatter from those noble ladies that tried to get in her shoes, she would always just smiles back and curses them to death in her heart. But she didn't feel like that when Hong er said she was prettier than her. Her face brighten as she moved closer to Hong er and talked about all the things that she liked.

About half an hour later, Weisheng placed down his cup and stood up, he cupped his fist to Lu Cixi and said with a straight tone.

Weisheng: " I'm sorry to interrupt, Imperial mother. But this unfilial son has to attend the morning court, therefore I excuse myself."

Lu Cixi: " En. How about Hong er?"

As they had got closer in the span of 1 hour, Lu Cixi decided to call Hong er with her nickname.

Hong er: " Chen qie will just stay here and keep Her Majesty Empress Dowager a company."

Weisheng: " Well then."

Weisheng turned around and walked away but before he took his third step, Hong er called him.

Hong er: " Your Majesty Emperor."

Weisheng stopped in his tracks and turned his head around to look at Hong er. Hong er smiled brightly at him and made a yes gesture with her fist. She moved her lips without making any sound.

Hong er: ' Jia You!' ( Good luck or Fighting!)

A second later, she felt a soft pair of lips touched her cheek and her body immediately froze. Lu Cixi and Princess Yue even the servants gasped in shock by Weisheng's brazen action. Weisheng retracted his lips and grinned mischievously.

Weisheng: " I'll be back soon. Be a good girl."

Weisheng coolly left the hall, leaving everyone frozen to the ground. Even his own personal servants didn't realize that he had left for quite long, they snapped out of their mind and quickly caught up to him.

Nevertheless, the hall was was so silent that Weisheng's laughter could be heard from far away. Princess Yue was the first one to open her mouth.

Princess Yue: " Ai-aiyoyoyoyooo~ What a lovely couple we have here, right Imperial mother?"

Lu Cixi: " Ehem, yes they are."

Lu Cixi cleared out her throat and glanced at Hong er with teasing eyes. She never see her son act like a mischievous kid like that. And the way he laughed so heartily made her heart contended that he didn't marry someone out of power or political agreement.

Princess Yue: " Sister-in law?"

Lu Cixi's attention went back to Hong er when Princess Yue called Hong er whilst shook her arm. However, Hong er remained unmoving. Then her face slowly redden until smoke almost came out from her head. Hong er swiftly hid her red face with her sleeves and apologize profusely to Lu Cixi.

Lu Cixi: " Hahaha~ You don't have to apologize. Rather it is good to see that the newlywed couple is having a good time together, right?~"

Lu Cixi said teasingly, Hong er's face got redder.

Princess Yue: " Aiyo~ No need to be shy, everyone in here saw how big bro smiled so sweetly at sister-in-law. He rarely smile even to his own mother and little sister."

Lu Cixi nodded in agreement, they didn't know why but they found teasing Hong er was quite fun. Life has been boring they, the royalties, have to act composed and be a role model to others, but heyy~ the one they teased was their family and she didn't dislike it so~~ let's continue.

Or so they thought. Thus the whole morning was Lu Cixi and Princess Yue telling Hong er how Weisheng kept talking about her and treated her very special. The more they teased Hong er, the more they found Hong er cute.

The morning court went on smoothly, the officials once again congratulated Weisheng for his marriage which he happily accepted with an indifferent expression. He really wanted to go see his wife as soon as possible but the amount of the documents that he had to look over was enormous.

Even though Hong er said that she would gladly help him with his work, he didn't want to burden his wife. And speak of the devil, Hong er knocked on his door a few times to gain his attention.

Hong er: " Your Majesty Emperor."

Weisheng: " Hong er?"

Weisheng was quite taken aback by Hong er's visit to his palace. He sent a dangerous look to his servants for not informing him about Hong er's arrival.

Hong er: " Please don't blame the servants, Your Majetsy Emperor. It was Chenqie that told them to not inform His Majesty of Chenqie's arrival. Chenqie apologize for being brazen."

Weisheng: " No, it's fine."

Hong er: " En."

Hong er finally could escape from Lu Cixi and Princess Yue's endless teasing by telling them that she would go visit Weisheng. Hong er went to his desk and saw mountains of scrolls waiting for him, she sighed and worriedly asked Weisheng.

Hong er: " Has Your Majesty Emperor eaten lunch yet?"

Weisheng: " No."

Hong er: " What a great timing. Chenqie cooked a few Da Qi dishes and it turned quite well. Why don't we take a little break?"

Weisheng: " En."
