Chapter 156 - 154. Why Don’t We Make One? I (2/2)

.

Hong er: ”Well then, we have to excuse ourselves Your Majesty Empress Dowager.”

Lu Cixi: ”En.”

The three of them left hand in hand. Xue Lang lightly tugged Hong er's sleeve, she glanced at him and smiled.

Hong er: ”What is it?”

Xue Lang: ”Mother, does grandmother hate me?”

Hong er: ”Oh no my child~ Why would you think so?”

Xue Lang: ”It is not that I want the throne but…”

Xue Lang couldn't find the right word to explain it as he could feel Lu Cixi's love towards him but as he was illiterate, he didn't understand why Lu Cixi kept him away from the throne just after their first encounter.

Hong er patted his head and patiently explained why Lu Cixi said that.

Hong er: ”Since you are directly adopted by me, it made you have the rights to claim the throne. Furthermore, even if Ben Gong give birth to a son, you are still older than him and you are the first choice for the crown prince.

But you don't have any Liu blood running in your veins and it can cause dispute in political world. And because of your special treats, some people will be more malicious towards you and mother doesn't want that.”

Xue Lang: ”Un. I understand, Imperial mother.”

Hong er: ”Xue Lang, mother have one request from you.”

Xue Lang: ”Whatever Imperial mother wants, this son will try its best to fulfill it.”

Hong er: ”If in the future you have a little brother or a little sister, protect them and support them like your own blood.”

Xue Lang didn't expect Hong er to request him this, it felt like she is going to disappear.

Xue Lang: ”Of course, Imperial Mother.”

Hong er: ”En. Good child.”

Hong er hugged him tightly. She's afraid that if something happens to her in the future, she hopes that Xue Lang will replace her to take care of her children. She didn't know for sure of what kind of thing will occur but since she has to expose herself to the world, more people will seek her life.

Then a pair of big warm arms circled both of them, they looked over and saw Weisheng's usual expression.

Weisheng: ”I will protect all of you.”

Hong er: ”En.”

Hong er leaned her head on Weisheng's chest and enjoyed their warmth.

Xue Lang was asleep in his new room after he drank a cup of milk. So many things happened in one day and his eyelids instantly shut as soon as he laid on his bed.

Meanwhile in the other room, Qi Zongguan stood with a serious expression on his face and handed them a scroll with a list of high skilled fighters' name in it.

Qi Zongguan: ”Your Majesty Emperor & Empress, which master should we choose for His Highness?”

Wiesheng and Hong er contemplated while staring at the famous name one by one. But none of them sparked their interest then an idea came into Hong er's mind.

Hong er: ”Oh! How about this? Sheng ge teach Xue Lang martial arts and I teach him magic.”

Qi Zongguan's face lightened up by Hong er's suggestion. No one could beat this couple right here in the matter fighting and they didn't have to worry about Xue Lang's secret being exposed. Weisheng pondered for a while and nodded his head.

Hong er: ”I teach him in the morning and Sheng ge teach him in your evening practice.”

Weisheng: ”En.”

Weisheng nodded his head and handed back the scroll to Qi Zongguan and dismissed him. Qi Zongguan retreated from their chamber and now leaving the two of them alone in the room.

Hong er was thinking of what to teach Xue Lang for tomorrow's lesson when Weisheng suddenly hoisted up Hong er in bridal style.

Hong er: ”Sheng ge? What's wrong?”

Weisheng brought her to their bed without replying to her question. He gently laid her down to their bed and started to take off his clothes which causes Hong er to blush deeply.

Hong er: ”Heee! Why are you taking your clothes off? Wait wait wait! EEEHHH?”

Weisheng: ”Hm? I thought that you said Xue Lang has to protect his little brother.”

Hong er: ”So?!”

Weisheng: ”Let's give him a baby brother~”
