PART 77 – THE WORRIES OF TIAN LIAM AND HOU LEI

-Well, you were an exchange of the peace for West Land? – Tian Liang continued.

-You can say that, but I’m feeling happy here. The Emperor, the Queen, and the people here all treat me very well and make me feel this is my second home. – Hou Lei replied.

-All the people? – He wondered. – Including Liu Han?

-Of course not, as you know, she never accepts that I’m Tian Liam’s wife, I think you must know that well. And some other people, urh…, who don’t like Tian Liam.

-I see. However, you can win over Liu Han, you must not be a simple Princess. – He laughed. – From our childhood, she thought many plans to separate Tian Liam with me and the Crown Prince, then, she would have private time with him. You know, both of us liked her, but she only had her eyes on him. Oh, sorry, I don’t know why I’m telling you this.

-No problem, I’m familiar with these kinds of stories.

-I can see in my brother’s eyes that he loves you so much, there must be some significant differences between you from the other Princesses and Ladies.

-I’m just a normal girl, don’t think too big about me like that.

-Anyway, hope that you love her as much as he does.

-Sorry, brother-in-law, but it’s the problem between me and Tian Liam, I think you shouldn’t discuss it with me or him. – Hou Lei started to feel uncomfortable with him.

-Just express my thoughts, I don’t have any bad meanings.

-Excuse me, I need to go to meet the Queen, I’ll go first!

-Goodbye, hoping to have some time to drink a cup of tea with you!

Hou Lei left, Tian Liang still stood there and looked at her footsteps until she disappeared behind an entrance. He shook his head and said to himself.

“I don’t think that you forgot everything. Hou Lei, I know both you and Bei Yiu, and of course, knowing that you’re not Bei Yiu, the Princess of West Land. I don’t know why you’re here with the title of Bei Yiu, I think I will find out what you’re hiding. Better that you don’t have any bad plans for Tian Liam or my family, if you have, I can’t forgive you even we knew each other.”

On the way to the Queen’s room, Hou Lei also thought about Tian Liang’s words.

“He said to me as he knows I’m the Princess of Hou Ma tribe, he seems to know many things. I should be careful with him, can’t let him find out anything about my plan, he will destroy it and I will lose everything I have now. He knows my father’s name, the Hou Ma tribe hadn’t contact to Main Land for more than 200 years, it must be somehow… somehow he knows my father. Anyway, I should ask Tian Liam some information about this interesting brother.”

-Did you meet Tian Liang on the way? – The Queen asked Hou Lei.

-Yup, he gave me a belated congratulation for me and Tian Liam’s wedding. – She replied.

-Tian Liang is also a good guy, you will like him, but don’t love him.

-I know that mother, although I don’t know much about Main Land’s tradition, how to keep the happiness in the family is the basic thing everyone should know. Despite the acceptance of having many wives by a man, I think that it is a should-not-do thing. One wife and one husband will keep us far away from jealousness between the wives if they don’t have the same consideration from their husband, and from the fights between the wives for the love of their man.

-What a kind of thought! But you know, I like your opinion.

-Thank you, mother, it’s not I want to fight with the tradition, it’s just my opinion.

-You can see that, I have peace now, no other wives of your father is here. It’s not because I killed all of them. – The Queen laughed. – The reason is your father loves me, and he thinks that one wife is enough for him, different from the previous Emperors or the other Kings.

-My father has three wives in West Land, and their fights make him have headache every day. But who knows, someones like this and some like that.

-Anyway, I must say Thank you, for the delicious food at yesterday’s party. Your father was very satisfied with the food and the bureaucrats praised you much. That proves you are the best choice for Tian Liam, you didn’t make me disappointed.

-Thank you, mother, that’s what I should do.

At that time, Tian Liam finished his works in the royal city, on the way back to the palace, he rode the horse passing the store of Er Wang. He stopped in front of the store, got down off the horse and walked into the store.

-Good morning, Xiao Liam! – Er Wang greeted him.

-Hi, Ziam Jun, do you have some new rolls of fabric?

-Well, not much, all of them are here, my next delivery will be here for the next three days.

-These are also good. – He looked at the rolls.

-You can choose as much as you can, or wait some days for the new ones. I’ll get you some tea.

-Uhr… I think Hou Lei won’t like these rolls of fabric, they are too colorful.

-Come here and get some tea. – Ziam Jun led him to a table. – You look a little bit tired.

-Thank you. – He took the tea. – So good, this tea tastes well!

-It is made by the South Province people, you know made from the pure rain, the bright sunlight, the carefulness of the farmer… to become a good taste.

-You’re right, I can feel all of those things in the tea.

-Xiao Liam, I heard that your wife came from West Land?

-Yup, she is… - He stopped before saying that she was the Princess of West Land. – She comes from a wealthy family and she is good at many things.

-What a good wife! She must be a good cook, I can see that you’ve gained some weights from the last time we met. – Ziam Jun laughed.

-Well, her food … I can’t use any words to describe them, very delicious, very nice, very well-decorated, very tasty… oh, you make me miss them, although I eat them many times.

-Do you ever think how a wealthy lady can cook well like that?

-She learned to cook when she was ten, and she also knows how to paint, how to do the sewing. She even has knowledge about herbs and medicines.

-Wow, impressive! You’re too lucky to have a wife like that! Does she know anything more interesting? Like magic, spells, drugs, poisons?

-Of course not. She is very innocent, she can’t know anything like those. – He laughed.

-Just asking, I think you know your wife well. So that the person I met some days ago wasn’t her!

-Who is the person you’re mentioning about? – He stopped laughing and wondered.

-Well, I don’t know exactly who she was, she looked like your wife. I met her at the near midnight when I turned back from my delivery of fabric rolls to my customer in the Northern Province. I saw that lady flew from the top of this tree to that tree. I and my guys followed the lady to a large field and she chanted a spell in the middle of the field, a wave of light appeared and she faded into the air.

-You’re telling me some kinds of fairy tales, Ziam Jun?
