Chapter 87 - 87. Propose I (1/2)

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.”
