It was already summer in the Xian Dynasty. Because of the severe hot weather this year, the drought was inevitable. It especially affected the south-western of Xian Dynasty. Many crops were dried up and some wild animals went out of forest in searching of water.

This was the second time the drought was so severe that people were suffering.

Because of this, Emperor Xian Long Wei was so busy as he sent officials and soldiers to the south west to help with the dire situation. The meetings had been done to think of solutions to help the people with their crops and the wild animals that were searching for water. Empire resources had been used to build facilities that would direct water from river to flow into the people's farms.

It was a hard battle against the hot weather but people kept praying that the drought would end and rain will pour down the earth.

Because of the drought, the bandits were trying to make trouble among the villages. Fortunately, the army was stationed there and helped the people while arresting the bandits.

Heaven Empress: "Have you done tormenting our son?"

Heaven Emperor: "Hmph! Who ask him to be a coward! He is supposed to woo our ger son in law but what did he do?! He's taking too long to get his wife!"

Heaven Empress: "People are suffering. And it seems our son's future Empress is already understands his feeling."

Heaven Emperor: "...I know, this drought will be over soon."

Heaven Empress: "......" He couldn't believe that he married this childish old man.

While the emperor was busy, he didn't actually forget about his sweetheart. In fact, he had been working hard to solve his people's problem only then he could pursue his sweetheart freely.

Being an emperor was hard but since he was born with this royal blood, no one was more suited than him. Besides, he didn't want the empire that his great grandfathers, grandfather and father treasured to fall into the other's hands.

Rubbing his temples, Xian Long Wei let out a soft sigh.

Clink.

A porcelain cup was placed in front of him and he looked up to see the Head Eunuch was bowing his head at him.

"This is the one thousand year ginseng. It has been brew for a full day to extract all the goodness in it. It's good for replenish the energy."

Muttering a soft thanks, Xian Long Wei took a sip and could taste the bitterness. He frowned a bit.

"Is it too bitter?"

"Ah... It is," only after saying that Xian Long Wei realised that after meeting and knowing Zhan Chen again, he had been used to eat something sweet whenever he went out to meet with the young ger. This amount of bitterness supposed to taste like a plain water for him. But, his taste buds had changed lately.

"Should this old servant put some honey?"

Emperor Xian Long Wei lightly shook his head. "No need. Zhen need this little bit of bitterness." As he drank this, he thought about Zhan Chen.

He wondered if the ger would acknowledge his feelings for Xian Long Wei. It had been a long one month and he still didn't hear anything from the ger.

He wondered what his Chen Chen was doing right now?

Lounging in the gazebo that was in the middle of the man-made small lake inside the Bai's Manor, the only child of Bai's couple stared at the distance in a daze.
