MY EVIL PRINCESS: Chapter 3: Who would be her husband?
PART 16 – TIAN LIAM'S DOUBT (2)
He drank all the cup of tea and looked at her.
-Why you don't eat? Is that you put into these food some drugs? – He doubted.
-Nah, you think I'm stupid like that. I also cooked for the Crown Prince. If you don't want, I will bring them to him. – Hou Lei stood up.
-No, no,... I don't have just a little of that idea. Sorry, okay?
He continued to eat, she put the food for him, and he did not forget to look at her and smiled. Everything he wanted to investigate was flown out of his head, now his mind was full with Hou Lei's image and the delicious food of her.
She looked at him, and thought "Do I do the right things? He seems to be very innocent in this revenge plan of me. Although he is the son of my enemy, why I can feel he is a very warm person with a kind heart.". He took the teapot to get more tea, she kept it to her side.
-The tea is not warm anymore, I will ask the maid to exchange it!
She stood up and went to the door, got a look back at him. She did not know why she felt guilty when putting the drug into his tea. She brought the pot to the maid and asked her to change a totally new teapot. She then turned back to the table.
-Take it slowly, your tea is coming! – She saw all the food gone.
-Oh, I finished!
-You eat faster than I think! – She smiled.
-So who you really are? I wonder how a Princess can cook like this.
-Well, you, men, can be good at martial arts, writing poetry, painting,... why a Princess can't cook well, and play zither well?
-Okay, why I always receive that kind of answer from you? Nothing's clear.
-It's that. Nothing is really clear! Maybe you see something is good, but actually, it can be very bad. You see some persons are very kind, but deep inside, they can be the most selfish.
-So you're not just as simple as you are?
-Well, I'm Hou Lei, that's all you need to know! Is that you are getting information from me or in the investigation of who I am?
-Of course, not, I have many works to do for this country than just caring about my brother's soon-to-be wife. – He said with an upset voice.
-Well, things will change, nothing's sure to happen in the future. Tian Liam, I just want to say with you... urrhhh... - She paused.
-What? What do you want to say to me? – He asked.
-Ah, nothing, don't care about that.
-You are upset, Hou Lei. Did I do something wrong? – He touched her cheek.
-Nothing, you didn't do anything wrong, that's just... - She pushed his hand out of her face. – Please, get out of here, return to your place, I don't want to see you.
-Hou Lei. – He looked at her gently. – Okay, I'll go, take care of yourself! If you want anybody to share with, I'm right here!
"I just don't want to hurt you, Tian Liam, there is something special in you making me feel you are a good person, I shouldn't take advantage of you!", she downed her head on the table.
The next day, the sentry beside Tian Liam came back from the West Land.
-My Prince, there's no sign that the Princess of the West Land has some bad things. But the people there always talk about a Princess knowing nothing than having beautiful dresses, playing around the palace and taking care of her beauty.
-So strange? – The Prince asked.– What's her real name?
-Her real name is Hou Lei, Bei Yiu is only her royal name. – The sentry answered.
-Oh, that's it. But how about yesterday's meal? And her ability to play the zither? – He asked himself and turned to the sentry. – You can go out now, I have something to do.
He came to the main palace where the Emperor was reading letters from his bureaucrats.
-My Emperor! – He greeted.
-What's the matter? – The Emperor stopped. – Do you have any problems?
-I concern about Hou Lei, do you know clearly about her? I think she has something mysterious. And I think she doesn't want to marry the Crown Prince!
-Why I should know clearly about her? Okay, Tian Liam, I heard what you did yesterday! Having a meal with her and you two talked all along the evening, right?
-It's not what you think, Father!
-So what? What should I think? – He laughed. – Tian Liam, do you know that when you say these things, I will think that you are in love with Hou Lei?
-Father, it's not what I want to say.
-Okay, okay, I know, and you know, the hero and the beauty should be a couple.
-But she is meant to be married to my brother!

-It's not important, she is an exchange for the peace of the West Land, so she just needs to marry one of my sons, don't need to be the Crown Prince.
-Father, Tian Leong also has hugely attracted by her. I just don't think it will be right if...
-Not to say, Tian Liam, I already have another idea for Tian Leong. He should marry the Princess of Japan instead, to make a bigger connection than with West Land. I think the Queen also had this idea when she let Hou Lei stay in your palace.
-Father, that can't be. – The Crown Prince got in.
-Tian Leong, how long have you been here? – The Emperor felt not good by eavesdropped.
-Long enough to know your decision! – The Crown Prince answered. – You know I like Hou Lei, why you don't get her to marry me? And Tian Liam can marry the Princess of Japan. He is good at martial arts which Japanese girls like much.
-Tian Leong, it's not about love or not. It's about how we handle the important works of our country. Getting a good connection with Japan is better than West Land. The Japanese Princess is also very beautiful and maybe, more than Hou Lei. – The Emperor explained.
-But she can't be like Hou Lei! No one can! I'm addicted to her. – The Crown Prince refused.
-I've decided that no one can change my mind. – The Emperor said with anger. – Tian Liam will marry Hou Lei, and you will marry the Japanese Princess.
-But Father, please take some more time to think about that! It's not fair for both Tian Leong and Hou Lei, they should be...
-Enough! – The Emperor shouted. – My words are the final decision.
Tian Leong looked at Tian Liam with the angry eyes.
