MY EVIL PRINCESS: Chapter 5: The wedding

PART 37 – THE WEDDING_6

-Uh… - Tian Liam paused. – Well, it’s good!

-I hope so. – The Queen said and looked at Hou Lei. – Now let have your breakfast.

They had their breakfasts and talked happily with each other. Tian Liam looked at Hou Lei, she smiled and talked a lot, different from the one he knew. Look like she wanted to cover her sadness and disbelief in this world, she showed that she was fine and did not need anyone’s consideration. The Queen also saw that she still talked like normally with them.

-Hou Lei, do you feel comfortable here? – The Queen asked.

-I get it better with the life in the palace, Mother. – She answered. – However, there still are many things I don’t know about the traditions of Main Land.

-Don’t worry, you will be taught all about them. Tian Liam and I will be always by your side when you need. – She smiled gently. – Right, Tian Liam?

He still looked at each move of Hou Lei and did not care about others.

-Tian Liam? – The Queen asked him again.

-Yes, mother! You’re right! – He started at the Queen’s voice.

-I see you always looking at Hou Lei from the beginning. – The Emperor said. – Is something wrong?

-Oh, no, Father! – Tian Liam answered. – She looks very beautiful today, and I just want to look at her.

-Well. I see these parents don’t need to be here anymore. – The Queen laughed.

-It’s not what I mean, I… - He paused.

-I know, my son. You two have just got married. There will be many things you want to know about each other. – The Emperor said. – Don’t worry, you have plenty of time.

-Hou Lei, do you miss your homeland and your family? – The Queen asked.

-Of course, I miss them. But people in our palace also treat me like a member of this big family, that makes the missing in me decrease.

-I feel good when hearing that. – The Emperor said. – Everything happens for a reason, and you know, we must live our life as today is the last day. Keeping your goodness and belief, you will find out this palace as your second home.

-Thank you for encouraging me. – Hou Lei said.

-Tian Liam, Hou Lei get married to you, she is here alone, you must treat her well. Although you are my son, if I hear any bad thing you do with her, I won’t forgive you. – The Queen said.

-Mother, what’re you talking about? I’m your son or her? – He surprised.

-Do you have any idea? – The Queen asked.

-Oh, no, I’ll prove that I’m a good husband and I promise she will be happy each day she is here. – Tian Liam looked at her gently.

-Well, I’ll wait and see. – The Queen laughed. – My son is more mature now.

-Oh, I forgot it. – Hou Lei brought out the teapot. – I made this for you.

-Your special tea? – The Emperor asked and she nodded. – It’s very tasty and I feel very good when drinking it.

-Thank you for liking it, Father. – She smiled.

They continued to talk some more while having tea. After breakfast, the Emperor came back to his works. Tian Liam held Hou Lei’s hand and prepared to lead her to go.

-Wait, Tian Liam! – The Queen said. – I want to talk with Hou Lei something. You should go first.

-I can wait for you two. – He answered.

-I want to talk with her “in private”. – The Queen expressed her words.

-Okay, I’ll wait for you in your room. – He said to Hou Lei and left.

-Hou Lei, I know what happened last night. – The Queen said.

-“What happened”? What do you mean? – Hou Lei surprised.

-I knew that you did not let Tian Liam get in the wedding room. – The Queen answered.

-Oh, Mother, I’m sorry about that. – She kneed down.

-I don’t want to blame you anything, but everyone knows that you now are the wife of Tian Liam. If somebody saw that instead of the maid of me, it would be hot news in this palace.-

-I didn’t mean to do that.

-I know. You were meant to marry the Crown Prince and might become the Queen of this empire someday. Tian Liam isn’t the Crown Prince, you can’t be the next Queen. However, I assure with you, he will be a good husband and you don’t need to care about anything in your remaining life, he will take care of you very well. I know my son, he has never spent “those looking eyes” for any girl before, but you. That proves he really loves you much.

-Mother, I don’t aim to the Queen title, I also don’t aim to marry the Crown Prince, my original reason to be here was the connection between Main Land and West Land, so which Prince I marry to is not important, I have finished the mission my father gave me.

-I know that. But don’t you worry about the rest of your life? If you marry a bad Prince, he will destroy your youth and make you suffer many miserable things.

-I understand, mother. But I can ask for anything here, it’s up to the decision of the Emperor. And I don’t ask for what people should do to me. It’s the fate that I must marry Tian Liam, or if it’s not Tian Liam, there will be another Prince, and my fate has been arranged without my choice or not.

-You seem to be pessimistic. But I can see you think very thoroughly, not seem to be a thoughtless and carefree lady as other Princesses. Anyway, I just want you to be happy here, let’s make it your second home and feel more comfortable.

-Thank you for understanding!

-Okay, I just want to remind you that, be more careful, in this palace, the fight of power will never stop. You won’t imagine what will happen tomorrow, so take care of yourself and if you need any help, I’m always here for you. Go to meet Tian Liam, he’s waiting for you!

Hou Lei came back to her room and saw Tian Liam walking around on the front yard. When seeing her, he ran to her place and held her hand.

-Hou Lei, are you okay?

-Do I look like not okay? – She asked backward him.

-Well, not. Does my mother ask you to do something difficult?

-No, she just asked me to teach her son how to become a good husband!

-Liar! I don’t believe you, my mother will never say something like that. – He smiled devilishly. – Or maybe she would say that if she wanted to have a grandchild.

-Wait! – She stopped his excitement. – We have a contract.

-Okay. – He raised his hands to give up. – Your words are my command!

-You know that, good!

-But can I hold your hand for a while?
