Chapter 160 - First Date after Marriage III (1/2)

Third person POV

Weisheng and Hong er finally arrived back at the palace and cleaned themselves up before having lunch together with Xue Lang. Hong er made a dessert from the dragonfruit that she bought not long ago and have it sent to Lu Cixi and Princess Yue who was coincidentally taking a break at Lu Cixi's palace.

She personally brought the dessert to Weisheng and Xue Lang and saw them having a father and son moment. She quietly stared at them with a smile on her face, Weisheng was looking over his doc.u.ments, while on the other hand, Xue Lang was practicing his calligraphy.

Sometimes Weisheng would look at Xue Lang's paper and teach him how to write in the correct way. He even used one of his important doc.u.ment as a reference for Xue Lang to write. Felt being stared by, Weisheng glanced at the person who was standing at the door for quite a while.

Weisheng: ”Hong er? Why are you standing there?”

Hong er: ”Hahaha~ I was too caught up at looking both of you getting along. Now, take a break and enjoy this dessert that I made.”

Both male tossed their work to the side and swiftly grabbed their own respective bowl. Xue Lang stared at Weisheng and followed his every movement. Hong er giggled inaudibly at the side by how cute Xue Lang is. Weisheng who didn't know what is happening asked.

Weisheng: ”What?”

Xue Lang: ”N-no, there is nothing wrong, Imperial Father.”

Hong er: ”Hehehe~ Don't be shy Xue Lang, just tell your father what you are really doing.”

Hong er patted Xue Lang's head.

Xue Lang: ”Ye-yes, Imperial Mother.”

Xue Lang's face was red from embarrassment. He timidly faced the menacing looking father of his.

Xue Lang: ”I-I remember about what Imperial Grandmother said yesterday and I thought that I have to act like a true prince. Therefore, I-I-I…”

Weisheng: ”I what?”

Weisheng impatiently asked Xue Lang while eating his beloved wife's dessert.

Xue Lang: ”Th-therefore I tried to follow Imperial Father's posture.”

Xue Lang said with his head lowered. Weisheng sighed and caused Xue Lang to flinch.

Weisheng: ”If you really want to act like a true prince, don't stutter when you talk, be more confident and prideful. Don't keep lowering your head, it means you are showing your weakness to the enemies. And…”

Xue Lang quickly straighten his back and lifted his chin upwards after Weisheng's comment. Waiting for the continuation of Weisheng's speech, Xue Lang nervously stared at Weisheng.

Weisheng: ”Follow me closely.”

Xue Lang's face instantly brightened with Weisheng's approval and looked at Hong er to show her his approval. Hong er smiled and laughed heartily when she saw Weisheng's ears got slightly red.

Hong er: ' So cute.'

They continued on doing whatever they did previously after they were done with the dessert. Hong er saw a doc.u.ment which stated the number of slum in each area in Da Qi. She was quite surprised by the low percentage of the slum despite how vast the country is. Then she thought up a good idea, she moved closer to Weisheng and nudged his arm with her elbow.

Hong er: ”Sheng ge, Sheng ge, why don't we build more schools for the commoners?”

Weisheng: ”It is a good idea but why so sudden?”

Hong er: ”You see, the physicians mostly only work for nobles therefore the commoners have a hard time to look for treatment. And I think that if we build schools which don't cost any money, many commoners will be interested in studying and by having more people to do research, there will be more discoveries in that field.”

Weisheng: ”Hhmm, indeed.”

Honger: ”And not only we can improve the livinghood of the commoners, by doing this we can also find talented individuals among the commoners.”

Hong er said excitedly while staring at Weisheng for his approval. Weisheng contemplated for a moment and nodded his head. Hong er hugged Weisheng as her thanks, the tip of his ears got slightly red and his head got airy from happiness.

Xue Lang who had been staring at them from the start also smiled happily by how his family is so perfect, he prayed to the gods so that they could always live happily like this.

Hong er: ”Oh, Sheng ge.”
