Chapter 673 - Sour

w.a.n.g Hao escorted Princess Bai Yaling safely to the Palace. Before leaving, he cupped her face between his palms and kissed her. The servants lowered their gazes. "I think that I can do that," w.a.n.g Hao said and put his hands down. Bai Yaling smiled and kept her gaze low.

"I will talk to the Emperor regarding us," He informed her and held her hands. "There's no turning back now, Bai Yaling. I can talk to your father too if you want. Forgive me, I got too excited that I almost forgot to ask about your family. I want to a.s.sure your parents about you."

Bai Yaling's heart fluttered by listening to the words of General w.a.n.g. "Father and Mother will be happy if General w.a.n.g does that," she said. She also wants them to get relaxed from their end. After knowing the truth about Prince Yongzheng, her parents were devastated too. They had never imagined that their daughter would undergo such a fate.

"Just take good care of yourself and the child too. Do not take any stress," w.a.n.g Hao stated and then left the chamber.

Court Lady Dai came towards Bai Yaling and congratulated her. "Princess Bai can lead a happy life too." She smiled and thanked her for supporting her.

w.a.n.g Hao arrived outside the chamber of the Emperor. The maidservant let him go inside. Sheng Li and Ying Lili were seated on the chaise.

w.a.n.g Hao bowed before them and then lifted his head. "Your Majesty, I brought Princess Bai Yaling safely to the Palace. Thank you for allowing me to take the Princess out," w.a.n.g Hao said.

"I can see the smile on General w.a.n.g's face. Is there any good news that he wants to share with us?" Ying Lili asked him.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Princess Bai Yaling has accepted my feelings. She wants to marry me. I would like to thank both of you for supporting me," w.a.n.g Hao expressed his grat.i.tude towards them. He could not hide the joy that he was feeling at the moment.

"I did not do anything, w.a.n.g Hao. Though, I believe Lili has her hands in it," Sheng Li said and tilted his head to look at her.

"I only helped her in deciding right and wrong. The decision is made by Sister Bai herself. General w.a.n.g's feelings are genuine for her, and it was impossible to refuse them," Ying Lili affirmed. "Congratulations, General w.a.n.g. You finally get your love," she said with a broad smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"I will send a message to the Royal Astronomer. Tomorrow, we will decide on an auspicious day for your and Princess Bai's marriage," Sheng Li informed him. w.a.n.g Hao was extremely glad to hear that.

"w.a.n.g Hao, I am happy for you. You spent so many years giving your selfless service to the Han. It's such a great occasion to celebrate," Sheng Li said. He could express his feelings seeing w.a.n.g Hao overjoyed.

"General w.a.n.g, how is your sister doing?" Ying Lili asked him.

"Yin Na is better now. Thank you for asking, Your Majesty," w.a.n.g Hao replied.

"Sheng Li told me that you are concerned for Yin Na. It is understandable. A brother always gets worried for her sister and always wants her best. I want to see Huo Jin personally. Could you please deliver my message to him?" Ying Lili asked him.

"Sure, Your Majesty," w.a.n.g Hao lowered his eyes and acknowledged her request.

"Why do you want to meet him?" Sheng Li queried her.

"I want to talk to him," Ying Lili gave a vague answer to Sheng Li. w.a.n.g Hao was also curious to know. "I will help General w.a.n.g's sister is getting her love."

"How?" Sheng Li asked. "Huo Jin isn't ready to let go of Xinyue!" He reminded her.

"I know," Ying Lili said.

"General w.a.n.g, could you bring your sister to the Palace? I want to meet her," Ying Lili made another request. w.a.n.g Hao recalled that Yin Na had asked him to take her to the Palace.

"Your Majesty, Yin Na has requested me to ask the Emperor and the Empress if she could come to the Palace. I forgot to ask you both. But I am happy that the Empress wants to meet Yin Na. I will surely bring her," w.a.n.g Hao a.s.serted.

"You should have brought her to the Palace," Sheng Li opined.

"I need to follow the protocols, Your Majesty. I cannot bring my family members without His Majesty's prior permission," w.a.n.g Hao said.

Sheng Li ended up smiling. "Tell Xiao Zhan about this. He was asking me about you in the morning," Sheng Li informed him.

"Yes, Your Majesty." w.a.n.g Hao took his leave.

Sheng Li turned to Ying Lili. "Xing-Fu, Court Lady Xu, leave us alone," Sheng Li commanded them. They both walked out of the chamber after getting the Emperor's command.

"Why did you send them away?" Ying Lili asked them.

"You wanted me to get intimate with you in front of them!" Sheng Li arched his brow with a grin.

"Why do you want to get intimate at this hour?" Ying Lili asked with astonishment. "I am hungry. I want to eat something sour," Ying Lili requested him.

"Oh. What do you want to eat?" Sheng Li questioned her.

"Lemons," Ying Lili replied.

"That's so sour. You might catch a cold if you consume them. The winter is near," Sheng Li advised her.

"But I am craving for lemons," Ying Lili said with a pout. "You can at least bring lemonade for me. I have a good immune system. I won't get sick." She grasped the hand of Sheng Li and insisted him to bring lemonade for her.

"Lili, you can have another fruit if you want," Sheng Li told her.

"No. I told you I want to eat something sour," Ying Lili said sternly and pulled her hands away. "Fine. I will make lemonade for myself." Her mood suddenly changed and she almost stood up when Sheng Li pulled her down.

"Lemonade is drunk in the summertime. If you drink it during this season, you will definitely get sick, and then the twins may also get affected because of the mother. However, you can replace the craving for sourness with another fruit. I will bring Tart Cherries for you," Sheng Li calmly made her understand. Court Lady Ki had informed him earlier that a mother usually gets mood changes frequently at this period. So, he needed to handle the situation well.

"Okay. I will wait," Ying Lili said.

Sheng Li kissed her nose tip softly. Ying Lili smiled at him and kissed his cheek. "Go bring cherries for me," she urged him. Sheng Li nodded his head and walked out of the chamber.

"Lili is alone. Go inside and watch your Empress. I will be back soon," Sheng Li ordered him and left for the Royal Kitchen.
