Chapter 161 - 159. First Date after Marriage II (1/2)
Third person POV
Weisheng and Hong er left the stadium and went for a walk at the market near the stadium. The street was full of people as it was near lunchtime. The couple looked around the food stalls at the side of street with eyes full of excitement.
The people in the market didn't dare to come near the couple as the guards beside them were exuding such a fierce aura. They could only bow and look at them from far away.
They didn't know why but their heart was in peace when they saw the couple being intimate towards each other like how they would tug the other one and pointed at the thing they found interesting, then both of them would come over and buy a few things from the store even though it was a commoner's store.
Seeing the couple being very friendly towards the commoner, a little girl with her younger brother approached the couple with a bunch of flower in their hands. The guards were on their guard as there could be a possibility that the two children were trained assassin. But Hong er dismissed them and gently asked the scared children.
Hong er: ”What are you two doing here?”
Little girl: ”Gleetings to Yol Majesty Emperol and Yol Majesty Empless. Ah Yao, gib yol gleetings.” (A/N: It is not a typo, the girl is too young to talk properly. I think it is quite readable so yeah I won't translate it.)
Little boy: ”Geetings.” (A/N: as well as the little brother.)
The two children bowed and stretched out their hands that contained flowers.
Hong er: ”Wahh~ Are these flowers for Ben Gong?”
Little girl: ”Uhm! We wis you to always be hapy wit the person you love.”
Hong er: ”Aww~ Thank you, you are so cute. Ben Gong is veryyyy happy right now with His Majesty Emperor.”
Hong er lightly pinched the little girl's puffy cheek and smiled cheerfully at her. Unexpectedly, a big rough hand clumsily ruffled the little girl and boy's hair.
Weisheng: ”Good.”
Even Hong er was shocked to see Weisheng being friendly towards a stranger, let alone the poor guards that always get glared by him. The two little children left whilst giggling and cheering that they got to talk with the couple.
Weisheng was so happy that even the kids thought that he and Hong er's a perfect match for each other.
They continued to walk again and Hong er stopped again when she saw a particular fruit that was in a quite big basket and there was an old woman with a sleeping boy on her lap. Hong er pulled Weisheng to the old woman and excitedly showed him the weird fruit.
Since he had gone to many missions in different countries, he recognized the fruit and gave Hong er a questioning look.
Hong er: ”Did Your Majesty Emperor know what this fruit is?”
Weisheng: ”En. It's dragonfruit.”
Hong er: ”En. And I will be making a dessert with this fruit.”
Weisheng: ”But Imperial Mother doesn't really like the red from the fruit.” (A/N: if you eat plenty of red dragonfruit, your urine can turn slightly pink or reddish.)
Hong er: ”Ah, maybe Your Majesty didn't know about this but dragonfruit have two types, red and white. And this is the white dragonfruit so maybe I can make Her Majesty Empress Dowager to like dragonfruit again.”
Weisheng: ”En.”
Hong er: ”Excuse me, granny.”
Granny: ”Yes? What can this old woman help you with, Your Majesty?”
Hong er: ”How much is this fruit cost?”
Granny: ”2 bronze coins per piece, Your Majesty Empress.”
Hong er: ”Then Ben Gong will take all of it.”
As the fruit was not very well-known by the folks in Da Qi, the granny couldn't sell any of the dragonfruit since this morning. Her grandson has a serious illness and she didn't have any money to buy medicine for him, having Hong er to buy all of her stuff is just like her prayer had been heard. A drop of tear fell from the granny's eyes.
