Chapter 163 - Summer Tournament III (1/2)
Third person POV
Hong er didn't know how things could turn so complicated. She pondered for awhile and felt that she had been too laid-back all this time that she didn't notice her family's relation with two countries. She was disappointed in herself despite herself being an empress and didn't know anything. Seeing Hong er's frustrated face, Xu Weimin chuckled and patted her head.
Xu Weimin: ”No need to be that anxious. It is no wonder that you don't know these things, that stupid son of mine didn't tell you anything even though I had reminded him to tell you everything before you marry His Majesty Emperor DQ.”
Hong er: ”En.”
Hong er replied dejectedly. Xu Weimin sighed and patted her head gently.
Xu Weimin: ”I will properly reprimand him later.”
Hong er: ”No no, it's fine grandfather. Oh, so grandfather used uncles' fake death as a reason to travel out from Da Chu to Xi Bei?”
Xu Weimin: ”En. That's correct.”
Xiu Rong: ”If we used grieving for the death of our two sons as a reason for retiring, the Emperor DC couldn't rebuke us or else he would be rumored as a heartless ruler.”
Hong er: ”Then, how did grandfather and grandmother hide your identity in Xi Bei?”
Xiu Rong: ”No one knows about our whereabouts except His Majesty Emperor DQ and Xu family. We solves and wrote everything out and His Majesty Emperor XB only need to stamp with his Golden Dragon Stamp, therefore no one knows that it is us all along.”
Hong er: ”Since when?”
Xiu Rong: ”16 years ago, at that time, Huiqing still hadn't had you in her stomach.”
Hong er: ”Father have a connection with His Majesty Emperor DQ, His Majesty DQ have a connection with His Majesty Emperor XB and lastly His Majesty Emperor XB have a with grandfather and grandmother. That means I was dancing in your hand all this time.”
Hong er sent a meaningful glance to Weisheng and made him shiver down to his spine. Then a hand suddenly engulfed Hong er's hand.
Xiu Rong: ”Hong er, you said that you had a son. Are you pregnant? But it is only a few week after your marriage.”
Hong er: ”Hahaha~ You had misunderstood, grandmother. We adopted a little boy around 6 years old and His Majesty Emperor DQ didn't convey it well.”
Hong er glanced at Weisheng with indifferent expression and smiled brightly when she looked at Xiu Rong. Hearing that she had a greatgrandson despite it was adopted got Xiu Rong estatic.
Xiu Rong: ”What is his name? Where is he right now? Why don't you let us take a look at him?”
Xu Weimin: ”En, grandfather want to see him too.”
Hong er pondered for awhile and whispered a few words to Meiyun, she turned her attention back to Xiu Rong.
Hong er: ”His name is Liu Xue Lang. Uumm grandmother, grandfather.”
Xiu Rong&Xu Weimin: ”?”
Hong er: ”This child have a very special trait so I hope both grandmother and grandfather will love him the same as normal children.”
Hong er said gently then a few knocks were heard.
Meiyun: ”Your Majesty Empress DQ, His Highness is here.”
Hong er: ”Let him come in.”
Meiyun: ”Yes.”
Meiyun guided Xue Lang into the room, he didn't know why he was called into here but he felt specially nervous. Xu Weimin, Xiu Rong, and Emperor XB were stunned, they didn't know what to say in this situation.
Hong er: ”Xue Lang, come here.”
Xue Lang: ”Yes, Imperial Mother.”
Xue Lang went to her side and gave everyone including Weisheng his greetings. Hong er and Weisheng nodded their head in acknowlegdment. Xiu Rong got out of her daze and smiled gently at Xue Lang.
Xiu Rong: ”Xue Lang, let greatgrandmother see you.”
Xue Lang: ”En.”
Xue Lang shyly nodded his head as he make his way to Xiu Rong. Xiu Rong took his hands and firmly patted his hands.
Xiu Rong: ”Look at you, so skinny. Eat more so you can be stronger and more handsome.”
Xu Weimin: ”En. What your greatgrandmother said is true. With your body condition right now, you won't be able to wield weapon longer than 5 minutes, let alone magic weapon.”
Weisheng: ”En.”
Xue Lang: ”Xue Lang thank Greatgrandfather and greatgrandmother's advice.”
Xue Lang bowed down.
Xiu Rong: ”Oh, did Tingfeng know about this?”
