192. Don’t Forget

Third-person POV

Meiyun approached Weisheng's study room and spotted the Qi brothers standing in front of the door. She smiled and bowed to them.

Meiyun: "I heard that His Majesty Emperor called me to come here."

Qiyi stared at Meiyun vacantly. Even after half a year, he still couldn't forget the woman who was standing in front of him.

Qier: "En. His Majesty Emperor is waiting for you."

Meiyun: "Thank you."

Meiyun walked past them and entered the room. Qier swiftly closed the door and pinched Qiyi's arm to get him out of his daze.

Qier: "Focus."

Qiyi: "En."

Meanwhile, Meiyun kneeled on one knee and with her fist cupped.

Meiyun: "Greeting to our Majesty Emperor. Is there any instruction for his servant?"

Weisheng: "En. You have done your job very well."

Meiyun: "This servant thanking Your Majesty Emperor for the compliment."

Weisheng: "You are going to marry General Di but don't forget our agreement."

Meiyun: "Yes, Your Majesty Emperor."

Weisheng: "Dismissed."

Meiyun: "Yes."

Meiyun bowed her head and turned around to leave the room, but a voice stopped her.

Weisheng: "Be happy."

Meiyun glanced at Weisheng and smiled.

Meiyun: "Yes."

She opened the door and walked out of the room. The Qi brothers saluted Meiyun and she did the same to them.

Qier: "I wish you have a happy marriage."

Meiyun: "Uhm! Thank you!"

Qiyi: "Meiyun…"

Meiyun: "Hm?"

Qiyi: "I…"

Qiyi: '...love you.'

Qiyi bit his lips as he tried to brave himself to tell her his feelings. But then he realized it was too late. Meiyun arched her brows in confusion.

Meiyun: "I?"

A sad smile displayed on his lips as he spoke.

Qiyi: "I wish you are happy with him."

Meiyun was quite taken back. She took his hand and smiled gently.

Meiyun: "You too. Please be happy."

Meiyun patted his hand and quickly turned away to leave. Qiyi reached out his hand yet didn't manage to catch her. He stared at the direction where Meiyun left.

Qiyi: 'I will.'

*The next day

For the whole day, Meiyun has been thinking about her marriage. Hong er had caught Meiyun spacing out for quite a few times but chose to ignore it as she understood what Meiyun was thinking about.

She got a piece of news from one of her elite forces that the Di family had arrived at the Royal Palace to give their greetings to their new emperor. And without saying, she as an empress had to be there too, therefore, Hong er was getting ready to visit the main hall.

Meiyun was replaced by Ming Yu as the bride shouldn't meet the groom for a few days before the marriage. (A/N: Idk if this is true or not, I just made it up.)

Hong er sat beside Weisheng at the throne and the Di family greeted both of them then discussed the national affairs as a whole new country just added into Da Qi.

While Weisheng was talking to Di Yu, Hong er noticed that Di Shang subtly looking around the hall and his face showed that he was very disappointed. Hong er used her sleeve to cover her grin. She knew exactly what Di Shang was looking for and she was here to enjoy his misery.

While on the other side, Meiyun was surprised by a tanned skin woman who out of blue appeared in front of her. Meiyun immediately got alarmed and summoned her sword rings.

Meiyun: "How can you get in here?"

Meiyun growled dangerously. But the woman only whistled in amazement without replying to Meiyun. The woman also moved her hand and summoned a huge boomerang. Meiyun charged forward at full speed. However, the woman managed to block Meiyun's attack with her boomerang.

Meiyun: "State who you are and on what purpose you are here before I kill you."

Woman: "Wow wow wow~ Wait a minute~ I don't know that my sister-in-law is this intimidating."

Meiyun: "What are you blabbering about?"

Woman: "They told me that my sister-in-law is someone who I can invite to hunt and horse-riding. Not those gentle and weak young ladies. I can see it now but didn't expect to be this scary."

Meiyun: "Your name!"

Woman: "Qadan!"

Meiyun: "What is your purpose coming here?"

Qadan: "Please release me first, it is hard to talk in this position."

Meiyun: "Unsummon your weapon."

Qadan: "Kay~"

Qadan unsummoned her boomerang and raised her hands to show that she had nothing in her hands. Meiyun also retracted her sword rings but didn't store it back.

Meiyun: "You got 10 seconds to speak."

Qadan: "Okay okay, I'm Qadan and I came here as one of the entourage from Dong Fang or safe to say the Di family."

Meiyun immediately unsummoned her sword rings and kneeled on one knee. Qadan was startled with Meiyun's sudden change in behavior.

Meiyun: "This servant deeply apologizes as I don't know this Young Lady's identity and acted on my own accord."

Qadan: "Aiya aiya~ No need to kneel since you are my sister-in-law."

Meiyun: "Who?"

Meiyun asked with a confused expression on her face.

Qadan: "You. I am Di Tian Han's fiancée and it means you are my sister-in-law."

Meiyun: "The hell…"

Qadan: "Ahahaha~ Since sister-in-law shouldn't meet brother-in-law, how about I explain to you about our Dong Fang's culture."

Meiyun: "O-oh okay."

Qadan pulled Meiyun to a nearby stairs to sit down. Then she started to explain everything about what a bride should do and should not do based on their tribe's tradition. Meiyun earnestly listened to her explanation and sometimes she would laugh at Qadan's jokes.

Sometimes Meiyun would ask about Di Shang's preferences in things like food or colors. Qadan gladly answered Meiyun's question one by one. After a while, Qadan stood up.

Qadan: "Wow, you are so fun to talk to, sister-in-law."

Meiyun: "Ahahaha, thank you."

Qadan: "Well then, it seems like it is time for me to go."

Meiyun: "Uhm! Be careful!"

Qadan: "Aye! Oh and let me tell you something."

Meiyun: "?"

Qadan smiled slyly and leaned her body closer to Meiyun then whispered.

Qadan: "Brother-in-law keeps talking about how beautiful and amazing you are. Sometimes I could hear him calling your name while staring at the sky. Woo~ He is head over heels for you~"

Meiyun's face instantly flushed like a boiled octopus. Qadan ran away while laughing her head off from seeing Meiyun's innocent reaction. After walking for a while, Qadan caught up to Di Shang's group.

(A/N: They were using Dong Fang's dialect.)

Qadan: "Brother-in-law!"

Di Shang: "Hm? Where do you go all this time?"

Qadan: "I went to see sister-in-law."

Di Shang: "Meiyun? How is she?"

Di Shang's voice became gentler at the mention of Meiyun's name.

Qadan: "Wow~ You guys really loves each other doncha?"

Di Shang's ears got slightly red as he nodded.

Di Shang: "En. Why do you say so?"

Qadan: "Ehehehe~ Because sister-in-law kept asking me about what you like and dislike. And now I saw you, you also asked about her. if it isn't love then what it is?"

Di Shang: "En. I love her so much."

Qadan: "AwwwWAAAA!"

Qadan felt herself being lifted up to the air by an unknown person.

Di Tian: "What are you guys talking about without me in it?"

Qadan: "Let me go you idiot!"

Di Shang: "About your sister-in-law."

Qadan: "I told you to let me GO!"

Qadan elbowed Di Tian's face and caused Di Tian to loosened his grip on her waist. Di Tian crouched down on the ground covering his injured face while Qadan ignoring his complains.

Unknown to them, Weisheng and Hong er were watching them from the beginning till the end. Di Yu turned his face away from shame while Naran burst into laughter from her son's idiocy.
