Chapter 193 - 191. He Returned For Her II (1/2)
Third-person POV
Today, Hong er unusually was in her chamber sitting with a book in her hand. A huge snowstorm suddenly arise in Chang An (Da Qi's capital city) and caused the people to stop whatever they were doing and hid in their house.
Hong er: ”Meiyun.”
Meiyun: ”Yes, Your Majesty Empress?”
Hong er: ”Is this to your satisfaction?”
Meiyun: ”Hm?”
Hong er tossed a golden scroll to her without taking her eyes off from her book. Meiyun hesitantly opened the scroll and read the content. Her brows knitted in puzzlement, a list of expensive items that she doesn't even know
Meiyun: ”Your Majesty Empress, what does this mean?”
Hong er: ”*Sigh, usually you are very smart. Of course, this is your dowry, silly Meiyun.”
Meiyun: ”Oohh, dowry…..DOWRY?! What the-”
Meiyun immediately stopped her mouth when she realized that Xue Lang was sitting beside Hong er.
Meiyun: ”-heaven.”
Hong er: ”Ahahaha~ Did you forget that he promised to marry you 8 months later?”
Meiyun: ”I-I actually remember…”
Meiyun blushed as her voice got smaller and smaller.
Hong er: ”So? What do you think about the dowry?”
Meiyun: ”Hhmm, I can't afford all of these with my current saving.”
Hong er: ”Aiya~ What are you talking about? Of course, I will pay it for you.”
Meiyun: ”No, you can't. This is my personal affair, therefore, I have to use my own money.”
Hong er turned around and smacked Meiyun's had with her book.
Hong er: ”I am your family, so this is part of my responsibility. Don't you dare reject my help or I will throw you out from elite forces. So, are you satisfied with my choices? Or do you want to add more?”
Meiyun: ”No, this is more than enough!”
Hong er: ”Hahaha~ Okay then.”
Hong er winked and her attention went back to her book. But then she remembered something.
Hong er: ”Oh, by the way, General Di gave you much more than that, that's why I'm concerned about the amount of dowry.”
Meiyun: ”O-oh, en. It really is enough.”

.
In the middle of a forest that was covered with a thick layer of snow, a large group of people sitting around a campfire to keep themselves warm in the middle of the harsh winter. A fur coat enveloped their tall body and made them looked like a bear.
Di Shang: ”Mother, are you fine?”
Naran: ”Of course I am. This winter won't beat me, GRAAAH!”
A circle of fire materialized around them and their body temperature immediately rose up. Di Yu smiled lovingly at his beloved wife and changed his attention to the worried Di Shang.
Di Yu: ”Don't worry about her. Your mother can handle this.”
Di Shang: ”En.”
Di Yu: ”Where is Tian Han?”
(A/N: Di Tian's full name is Di Tian Han while Di Shang's full name is Di Shang Tang. I will still use Di Shang but there will be a few characters that will call him Shang Tang.)
Di Shang: ”Escorting his fiancée. She said that she wants to attend my wedding and see her sister-in-law.”
Di Shang's ears got slightly red at the mention of 'sister-in-law'. He didn't believe that he was going to marry his beloved woman in a few days. He had sent dower to the Royal Palace and the only thing that has to be done is the wedding ceremony.
