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!)
