Chapter 87 - 87. Propose I

Third person POV

After they were done eating their lunch, Hong er stood up and wanted to leave the hall but immediately pulled by Weisheng to his lap. Hong er plopped down on his lap and hugged her from behind, she had quite used to this position as this morning Weisheng did the same because he was so sleepy. But she was still shy about how intimate they looked and she didn't understand of what's so fun in hugging her.

Hong er just leaned her head on his shoulder and enjoyed the silence, she closed her eyes and hummed a song. Weisheng peeked at Hong er's face and was stunned by her beauty, he wanted to keep her all for himself, only he can see her beauty, only he can feel her love, only he can touch her warm and soft skin. But he couldn't, Hong er's charm would be known throughout the world.

She loves everyone, no matter what their status were, no matter how sick they were, no matter how ugly they were, she would always help them without asking anything back. She always thinks about others over herself, she would sacrifice herself to help a stranger. And that's what makes Weisheng worry about her, he was afraid that she would just suddenly disappear from his embrace.

Weisheng: " What song is that?"

Hong er opened her eyes and looked at Weisheng.

Hong er: " This? I made it by myself."

Weisheng: " What is the lyric?"

Hong er turned her head and stares at the ceiling for a while then smiled.

Hong er: " I haven't make the lyric yet, but I will tell you when I make it."

Weisheng: " Promise?"

Hong er: " Hahaha~ Promise."

They interlocked their pinky and smiled at each other. The servants that were standing outside of the hall smiled, for these two days, they could see why their emperor fell in love with this girl even though there were so many beautiful and talented women that want to be his wife. He rejected all of the marriage proposals that his mother offered to him without even batting a glance on the girl. He didn't say anything to his mother as he was concerned that his mother would go find the girl and disturb her.

But a year ago, Hong er had just entered marriageable age, he immediately threw all of his country's problem to his aides and went to find Hong er. His mother was confused by his sudden action of leaving his country behind so she asked him.

( I will just call her empress dowager as Weisheng already became an emperor now.)

Empress dowager: " Why would you suddenly leave Da Qi?"

Weisheng: " I have to go somewhere."

Empress dowager: " Where?"

Weisheng: " Da Chu."

Empress dowager: " Da Chu?! Why would you go there by yourself?! Just send someone to do that job."

Weisheng: " No, Imperial mother. I can't let other people touch her."

Empress dowager: " Her? Who are you talking about?"

Weisheng: " Your daughter in law."

Empress dowager: " Th-then…"

Weisheng: " Yes, I have to claim my wife. Then, Imperial mother, I shall excuse myself."

The empress dowager could only dazedly stare at the door that Weisheng exited, Princess Yue that was hiding behind the pillar was in shock too. Shortly after, she finally snapped out of her mind and quickly called Qi zongguan. (Princess Yue= Weisheng's little sister from the same mother.)

Empress dowager: " Qi zongguan! Check the girl that will soon be my daughter in law, I need it to be specific. Do you understand?"

Qi zongguan: " Yes, Your Majesty."

( Actually it is Huang Taihou in chinese but idk what it is called in english so I will just use Your Majesty.)

Qi zongguan quickly left the hall with some of his subordinates, Princess Yue ran out from the pillar and went to the empress dowager's side then shook her arm. Princess Yue's face was pure shock, the empress dowager looked at her with disbelief expression too. His son that had rejected all of her offer for his marriage partner, now went to claim his wife.

Princess Yue: " I will have a sister in law."

Empress dowager: " My my, I have to see what my soon to be daughter in law use to make my stupid son to fall in love with her."

Then that's how Qi zongguan suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the house when Weisheng and Hong er first arrived at the house. Weisheng was quite surprised by Qi zongguan's appearance at here because he was the most trusted servant that they had. Weisheng was suspicious that his mother was the one who ordered Qi zongguan to come here. But he didn't care because he will make Hong er his wife no matter what.

The servants really like Hong er in various ways, at first they thought that Hong er would be like the usual arrogant young miss and only want their emperor's status and wealth but they were immediately proven to be wrong. There was a time where they pretended to fall and spilled hot tea all over Hong er's white clothes, they wanted to see Hong er's reaction of this accident. But what Hong er did next made them baffled.

Hong er ran to the maid's side and took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, the maid looked at her handkerchief and noticed that it was made with a high quality material. Hong er wiped the hot tea from the maid's hands and used her ice magic to cool the wound. The maid was surprised by Hong er's quick reaction, then she acted like she was afraid and guilty.

Maid: " Yo-young Miss, you shouldn't use that expensive handkerchief for this lowly slave, it's not worth it to waste that beautiful handkerchief for me."

Hong er looked up to her and smiled gently at her, she caressed her head and bandaged her wound with a clean cloth.

Hong er: " I can buy the handkerchief again and I'm more worried about you. It will be hard for such a beautiful girl like you to have a scar. If anything happened, I will take the responsibility."

Hong er helped her up and patted her shoulder before she went back to her room to change her clothes. Meiyun followed Hong er to help her change while Huayun cleaned the mess in a few seconds. The maid stood dazedly in the hallway while grasping on her wounded hand. Her eyes were filled with admiration and respect.

Maid: ' So cool…'
