Chapter 263 - 261. I Will Be Their Mentor II (1/2)

Third-person POV

A few days later, after Meiyun's got better than before, they went to visit the Royal Palace to meet Weisheng. It was easy to access because of Meiyun and Di Shang's status in the Royal Palace. While Meiyun was one of the closest servants that Hong er had, Di Shang was promoted as Minister of Justice which was a pretty high-rank for such a young man as Di Shang.

Meiyun was elated to know that her husband got himself in a quite prestigious position in the court. She believed Di Shang can do his job well because he wasn't prejudiced towards any races, religions, etc.

Weisheng wasn't bothered by Meiyun and Di Shang's sudden visit as both of them never came to him to do small talk. Meiyun and Di Shang went to Hong er's favorite pavilion which was the Floating Lotus Pavilion, Weisheng told the servants to bring both of them to him as he was too lazy to walk to the Main Palace's hall.

Moreover, Meiyun knew this place as much as he did. Meiyun and Di Shang mended their way to Weisheng to give their respect to him. Di Shang greeted Di Shang and then swiftly supported Meiyun by holding her arm when she was giving her greeting.

Weisheng quickly stopped her from bowing down after he noticed the bandages that wrapped up to Meiyun's neck. He wasn't such a foul person to make someone that was heavily injured to do a thing that require one to bend their upper body forward.

”Rise,” Weisheng raised his hand.

”Thank for your graciousness, Your Majesty Emperor.” Both Meiyun and Di Shang bowed their head.

Weisheng offered them to sit across him by giving them a meaningful glance. Without needing any word from Weisheng, they sat across him and cut to the chase.

”Your Majesty Emperor, may I stay become His Highness Princes and Her Highness Princess' mentor as well as their sitter?” Meiyun asked with a firm expression.

”En,” Weisheng nodded his head second after Meiyun finished her question.

Weisheng had gotten busier with his nation affair as usually, Hong er would help him manage half of his jobs especially wars had occurred in numerous borders. Therefore he didn't have any time to personally train Xue Lang every day like before. Unless, the court calmed down and then he could teach Xue Lang and possibly the twins how to fight.

However, Hong er was in charge of teaching magic and he who possessed dark magic couldn't explain how to control elemental magic as good as Hong er. Hence, having Meiyun who was always training together with Hong er as his children's mentor was the best choice for now.

But then Di Shang called Meiyun with a low voice, ”Meiyun…”

Meiyun turned to Di Shang and smiled. Di Shang furrowed his brows because he was quite disagreed with Meiyun's proposal. If Meiyun was going to be Hong er's children mentor then she probably would have to stay beside them all the time. And second of all, Meiyun hadn't healed yet but the way she implied was as if she wanted to work as soon as possible while disregarding her own condition.

Meiyun placed her hand on top of Di Shang's and her smile didn't falter. With them in their own world, Weisheng was observing both of their expression since the beginning and could summarize what they were talking about through their eyes.

”It's fine, you can do whatever you want.” Weisheng uttered nonchalantly.

Meiyun and Di Shang's attention was quickly brought to Weisheng. How often would you hear an emperor tell a servant to do whatever they want in the Royal Palace? Almost none!

”May I ask, what do Your Majesty Emperor mean by your words?” Di Shang asked.

”I meant what I said.” Weisheng replied.

They stared at him as if they didn't understand what he said.

”Everyone in the Royal Palace knows your face, thus you can enter and exit the Royal Palace without having to report to me.” Weisheng continued.

Since Meiyun had married into Di Shang's family, technically she hasn't related to the Xu family nor Hong er anymore. But because of Meiyun kept begging Hong er to let her work for her like usual, Hong er couldn't refuse her genuine request and gave her mission that can be done together with Di Shang.

That was also one of the reasons Di Shang made a request to Weisheng for him to work at Royal Palace rather than fight in a battlefield when Weisheng offered him a wish as a gift for Di Shang's meritorious victory in taking over Xi An from Da Chu's hand.

That being so Meiyun didn't have to follow him to the battlefield and could continue to look over her master's children. Furthermore, he expected Meiyun to make such a request to Weisheng.

While Di Shang was thinking, Meiyun was staring at him with pleading eyes. Without needing a word from Meiyun, he could listen to Meiyun begging at him just from looking at her eyes.

”You can only start working after you healed completely.” Di Shang said firmly.
