Chapter 146 - 144. First Day As His Wife I

Third person POV

Hong er slowly opened her eyes and rubbed her eyes to dissipate the sleepiness. She felt something enormous and heavy was tying her waist tightly as she couldn't even move an inch from her position. She looked down and saw a messy but fluffy looking black hair pressing her b.r.e.a.s.ts.

Her cheeks became rosy pink as she could feel his subtle rubbing on her skin. Her nightgown around her chest was slightly opened because Weisheng kept rubbing his cheek on her b.r.e.a.s.t after he felt something soft there when he was sleeping. However there was something that preventing him for feeling the softness so he struggled to find the way to that fluffy thing and that's how Hong er's b.r.e.a.s.ts were exposed with his face planted on the cleavage.

She was thinking of what should she do with him locking her in his arms. Usually she would have got up and went to her usual morning practice but she didn't have the heart to wake him up when he finally got his sleep.

Hong er: ' Maybe a lil bit sleep won't hurt.'

Meiyun knocked the door very gently and opened the door a bit to peek. She knew that they didn't do anything for their first night as she didn't hear anything from the room when she was guarding.

Her head poked out from the door and she saw Weisheng was hugging Hong er tightly while he slept peacefully.

Meiyun: " Your Majesty, do you need any help?"

Meiyun whispered almost inaudibly. Hong er waved her hand. Meiyun bowed her head and closed back the door.

Meiyun: ' Even though they didn't do anything, they still had a good time together.'

Meiyun smiled proudly at how her master has a happy marriage life.

A few hours later, the sun had risen and lightened up their chamber. Hong er was woken up by the blinding light and she noticed that Weisheng hadn't move even an inch. She couldn't fell asleep anymore therefore she didn't have a choice but to wake Weisheng up.

Hong er: " Sheng ge, it's time to wake up."

Hong er gently called his name but to no avail, Weisheng didn't wake up. For the second try, Hong er lightly shook his body while calling his name.

Hong er: " Sheng geeeee, wake up. We have to go meet Her Majesty empress dowager and give our greetings to her."

Weisheng: " Uuhhmm…."

Weisheng grunted and planted his face deeper to Hong er's cleavage. Even though she thought that Weisheng's reaction was very cute like a kid refused to wake up but she ain't having it.

Hong er: " Sheng ge, if you don't wake up at this moment, you will have to sleep in your own palace for one month."

Weisheng immediately opened his eyes at her words and looked up to Hong er's face.

Weisheng: " It's not fair!"

Hong er: " Then get off the bed and wash your face."

Weisheng: " But I want to cuddle with you."

Hong er: " It has its own time and now is not the time for that."

Weisheng: " Ugghh… Fine…"

Weisheng groaned, yet he still complied Hong er's commands. Hong er called the servants and the servants came in with two basins of warm water. They placed two small tables in front of them and helped them to wash their face.

Other servants picked up the tray that had the couple's hair tied together and the cups that they used last night and took it away from their chamber. The servants helped them to dress up in a different room.

They put a light make-up on Hong er as her face was sufficient without make-up. Her dress's color was white silk with golden phoenix embroidered on her lower skirt and both of her sleeves were embroidered with begonia flowers.

Meanwhile Weisheng's clothes were shining black with golden dragon embroidered in the same place as Hong er's dress. Their clothes were made to match the most famous love story in history, Hei An and Sheng Jie's endless love.

Even though this theme had been used commonly by many couples in royalties, nobles, even commoners, but no one ever had such an imposing aura as the two of them especially when they stood together.

And to add it, both of them didn't wear their usual mask anymore. Their beauty was exposed to the world for the first time and it didn't fail the expectation of the people, rather it exceeded their expectation.

Together, they walked hand in hand to Lu Cixi's palace whilst enjoying their surrounding. The servants had offered them to use a carriage as Lu Cixi's palace was quite far away from their palace considering how massive all of the palaces were. However Hong er refused to ride on the carriage, she had skipped her usual morning practice and wanted to walk to warm up her body.

Usually the husband was the one who decide on everything that they're gonna do, yet, Weisheng only silently followed Hong er's every wishes like a puppy.

Lu Cixi's servants that were guarding the entrance of the palace quickly ran to report their arrival to her and she sleepily dragged her body out from her cozy bed.

Lu Cixi: " Why are they so early? It is only 6 AM."

If it was Hong er, then it wasn't too early but to Weisheng and both of his mother and sister, yes, it was too early for them. Weisheng and Hong er were politely escorted to the palace and served with a cup of hot tea while waiting for Lu Cixi to get ready.

Just within 15 minutes, Lu Cixi came in to the hall gracefully with her personal maid escorting her by holding her hand, nevertheless if one looked closely to her eyes, one could see a little bit of sleepiness lingering in her eyes.

The couple stood up and Hong er bowed to her while Weisheng greets her without bowing as he has a higher status than she has. Lu Cixi slightly bent her knees to Weisheng and helped Hong er to raise her head up.

She had seen her son without his mask frequently but for Hong er, this is her first time and she was stunned by her beauty. It was rare for her to be stunned by beautiful woman as there were many beauties in her husband's harem and as she's a beauty herself.

Lu Cixi: " My, my, you are so beautiful. My grandchild will be chased by many people just with their beauty. No wonder you wore a mask, your parents made a good choice."

Hong er: " Your Majesty Empress Dowager flatters me. Chenqie can't be compared to Your Majesty Empress Dowager's splendor."

Lu Cixi: " My~ Ai Jia is already an old woman, no need to gratify Ai Jia's beauty when wrinkles start to appear one by one on Ai Jia's face."

Honestly, Hong er could barely see a single wrinkle on Lu Cixi's face except the faint lines that appears when she smiles. Rather than making her look older, it made her appearance and aura gentler and wiser.

Hong er: " Chen qie never lie to Your Majesty Empress Dowager."

Lu Cixi: " Ahahaha~ Ai Jia only teasing you, no need to be so serious."

Lu Cixi laughed heartily while patting Hong er hand with her smooth palm.

Hong er: ' Wow, so smooth. Not like mine.'

Hong er smiled back at Lu Cixi.

Hong er: " Chen qie may bother Your Majesty Empress Dowager from now on to teach Chen qie a few things as Chen qie is still inexperience in these fields."

Lu Cixi: " En. Ai Jia will gladly answer to all of your questions within Ai Jia's knowledge."
