To Be A Virtuous Wife

75

Chapter Seventy Five, Intelligence Determines Taste

The morning after Cheng Wang's wedding day, he took his wife to the palace for the formal greeting. The Emperor might have been indifferent to his youngest son, but on the surface, he didn't slight him. What should have been bestowed down was given.

The Empress didn't discriminate. What her attitude was when the previous three imperial sons had married, that was her attitude towards He Ming's marriage. But she seemed to be friendly towards Luo Wen Yao.

Coming out of Kui Yuan Palace, Luo Wen Yao's face was slightly red as she walked next to He Ming with her head down. Even though she had dreamed of her husband as one who was well educated and skilled in both martial and literary arts, in reality, she felt that Cheng Wang treated her better and was more steadfast than the one in her dreams. Nothing would be better than to have a place in his heart.

"Don't worry, mu fei is very friendly, she will definitely like you," He Ming saw his wife's nervousness and gripped her hand reassuringly, "Don't be afraid. I'll be there with you."

"En," Luo Wen Yao gave the smallest of nods, her face blushing harder.

An guipin really did like having Luo Wen Yao as her erxi very much. She had a warm personality and a good conduct. The Emperor might have neglected her child for so many years but thankfully the erxifu he had chosen was a good one.

She looked at her erxifu whose face was full of embarrassment and indicated for the palace maid beside her to take out the prepared gifts. She gently grasped Luo Wen Yao's hand, smiling as she spoke: "Today, I'm putting Ming'er into your care. In the future, if Ming'er does something wrong, don't let him off. Tell me and I will certainly sort him out."

"Mu fei is abandoning your son since you have an erxifu," He Ming stood and raised his hands in a fist, "Mu fei, don't worry. We will try to live a good life."

Seeing the situation, Luo Wen Yao perceptively stood and followed in bowing. Her face might have been bashful but her tone was resolute: "Don't worry mufei. Erxi will definitely take good care of His Highness and have a good life."

An guipin's eyes slightly reddened. She put the two people's hands together, and said happily: "It's good to try to have a fulfilling life. A person's life is like a long road. It's a fortunate thing to have someone to walk with along this long road. You have to treasure it."

He Ming turned to look at his wife. The hand that held Luo Wen Yao's hand tightened as he nodded gravely.

The couple let An guipin's residence and started to head slowly out of the palace. He Ming noticed that Luo Wen Yao kept walking half a step behind him and reached out to grab her hand, remarking: "When we get back, we should go to see to the gifts prepared for the return to your paternal home and check to see if there's anything lacking."

Luo Wen Yao shook her head and replied in a small voice: "Your Highness has already prepared everything. How could there be anything wrong?"

"I don't know what father and mother-in-law like so you have to take a look," He Ming smiled as he responded, "Otherwise, what will happen if father and mother-in-law aren't satisfied with their son-in-law?"

Luo Wen Yao heard his words and her hand that was being held by He Ming gripped his broad hand. She smiled as she teased: "That's even more of a reason not to help you. If you prepare, it's called being thoughtful. What is it if I prepare it?"

The two smiled simultaneously, their hearts gradually becoming closer.

Qu Qing Ju stood at the side of the fake mountain, looking at the sweet young couple not far away. She couldn't resist smiling and remarked to Mu Jin beside her: "Those two are pretty good like this."
