Since the coronation ceremony had just taken place in the Imperial Palace, the Imperial City was colourful and vibrant.
Xi Ying and Li Rui were walking inside a street that had many shops after having just eaten. The street was than other areas so Xi Ying let his shadow guards hide and not follow them.
However, he was slightly stupefied as he looked at the figure walking in the front with his son in his arms.
It was Gu Li. And he was not alone, the old physician and the old master had also followed them.
The three people suddenly ca out when they were about to leave and as soon as the old physician asked him if they could accompany them…he could only agree because his son also supported them eagerly.
It could be seen that in just a few days, Xi Ling had got very attached to Gu Li, his master and as well as the old physician.
"Ha…brat! You can't pull this old man's beard like this."
Xi Ying ca out of his thoughts when he heard these words as well as his wife's chuckle.
Xi Ling was being mischievous and pulling the old physician's beard. When they old man wanted to tickle him in return, Gu Li fastened his speed and ran away from the old man.
The old physician in the end was an ordinary old man and couldn't compare with Gu Li's speed.
Seeing this, the old Master chuckled mockingly and said calmly
"In the end, it is the martial arts who helps a person in his life the most."
The old physician glared at the old master and said firmly.
"Ha! Then you are a big fool to assu this. With skills in dicine, one can save his own life as well as others. Without this, you can't even dream of living healthy."
And hence another round of argunt between the old n started.
This argunt had been ongoing since the day the old man has entered the Xi Manor.
It started when the old master asked Xi Ling to call him grandpa. The old physician wanted the sa when he heard this.
Seeing two old n begging him to call grandpas, the small bun was slightly confused and put forward a question.
"Who is Elder Grandpa and who is younger grandpa? If Xi Ling would call both of Grandpas Grandpa then it would create a lot of confusion."
His reasonable and innocent words from that day had made the two old n fight with each other on the question who was older and who was younger.
However, neither of them wished to share the details of their birth. In the end, they chose to prove this on the basis of whose skill was superior.
The one with superior skill was older Grandpa.
However, since none of them was ready to eat defeat, this matter had not been solved.
Walking behind them, Xi Ying looked at the old n with a slightly disgusting expression on his face and said
"I think Xi Ling is better than these old n."
Li Rui couldn't help but smile at her husband's words.
"They are childish. I have read sowhere as one grows, the childishness starts to surface again with old age."
Xi Ying looked at his wife when he heard her words. His deep black eyes were filled with interest and he couldn't help but say
"Will you be the sa when we will be old?"
Li Rui blinked at the question and suddenly didn't know how she should answer it.
However, Xi Ying thought that it would be best if it ca to be true. His wife rarely acted spoiled and unreasonably.
He would be very happy to see her behaving like that.
Thinking this, he couldn't help but hold her hand firmly as he said
"I suddenly can't wait to grow old with you."
Li Rui looked at him when she heard his words. She looked calm as she looked at his smile but her heart was filled with warmth.
He perhaps didn't realize what deep aning his words held.
He really loved her …just like how her father loved her mother.
Otherwise, why would he say such words?
It was not that she doubted him. It was just she couldn't find any reason which Xi Ying would love her.
Before her marriage, she had heard girls and won say that a woman needed to act spoiled and cute to win a man's heart. She needed to be soft, gentle, and virtuous at the sa ti.
However, she was none of them.
She could kill soone with no rcy if they hard her people. So she was not soft and gentle.
Neither did she know how to act spoiled and cute.
But from ti to ti, he had always left her speechless by expressing his feelings.
She didn't believe him when he had said first ti. But as ti passed, she could suddenly accept.
That she could also be loved.
And perhaps no one else could love her as Xi Ying does.

Zhao Zhang Wei was busy on the day of his coronation.
The ministers asked him if he wished to reside in the previous Imperial Chambers, however, Zhao Zhang Wei instantly refused to reside there.
His reason was that he didn't want to live in the sa place where Zhao Wang Lei had lived before.
However, the ministers thought that it was because the Emperor's father had died at that place and he was unwilling to reside there.
Satisfied with the Emperor's wish, the ministers looked at Minster Xin who asked for so ti from Zhao Zhang Wei to make so other place ready as his Imperial residence.
Zhao Zhang Wei didn't bother himself with all this. However, he did have a request and he put it forward without any hesitation.
"The Empress' residence should be the nearest to Zhen's chambers. As near as possible."
He would have preferred if he could live with Yi Huiqing in the sa chambers, however, when he rembered her request of separation from last night, he thought that he should not annoy her more by invading her personal space completely.
She was already his Empress. He should be patient and first make her trust himself. For now, he would have to do with this arrangent only.
On the other hand, the ministers raised their eyebrows when they heard this. Minister Xin imdiately told Zhao Zhang Wei that it would be done. Afterward, Minister Xin also told him that he would also make arrangents for so other study room.
Satisfied, Zhao Zhang Wei dismissed all the ministers.
He stayed in the study room for so ti and reviewed so docunts. When he saw the sky was slightly dark from the window, Zhao Zhang Wei imdiately put down the docunts in his hands and opened the door of the study room to leave.
Standing outside the study room of Xinhe Palace, Eunuch Zhang was slightly surprised when he saw his master. He was about to go inside and ask his master to have dinner. However, he soon composed himself and said respectfully
"Your Majesty…"
How should he say it his master's aura was more powerful than before after he has beco an Emperor.
Zhao Zhang Wei nodded his head and said calmly
"We will go to Lantai Courtyard."
Eunuch Zhang was not surprised at all this ti and imdiately sent so servants to inform them of the Emperor's arrival in Lantai Courtyard.
Zhao Zhang Wei felt that it was unnecessary but then he thought that if he went there without informing then Yi Huiqing might not like it so he let Eunuch Zhang do what he was doing.
When he was outside Lantai Courtyard, his heart unconsciously drumd inside his chest.
He knew that it would be difficult but he would do his best to make Yi Huiqing forgive him.
He would not play any tricks and gas this ti. He would let her feel his sincere feelings and his care.
Yi Huiqing just stepped outside the courtyard to welco him. Since he was now an Emperor, she couldn't not do it.
She put a polite smile on her lips and was about to greet him when her hand was suddenly held by him and she heard him say in a slightly reprimanding voice.
"It is cold. You should wear thick clothes."
For a mont, she didn't what she was supposed to say but she soon composed herself and replied sowhat stiffly.
"Forgive this one, Your Majesty. In order to not make any delay in welcoming Your Majesty, this one forgot to put on the thick robe."
"It is this servant's fault, Your Majesty. Don't bla Her Majesty."
It was Lin Daiyu who followed her mistress as soon as the latter finished. Zhao Zhang Wei looked at Lin Daiyu and said
"Take care of your mistress."
Lin Daiyu imdiately spoke that such a mistake would not happen again while Zhao Zhang Wei looked at his wife again and said calmly.
"Empress doesn't need to welco us."
Not only Yi Huiqing but Eunuch Zhang was also stunned when he heard his master's words. It was sothing that every woman in the inner courtyard ought to follow.
However, since the Emperor himself had ordered such a thing, no one could dare not to accept.
However, Yi Huiqing only felt uncomfortable with such a privilege and said politely
"Your Majesty is benevolent. However, roles must be followed."
But Zhao Zhang Wei also seed to expect her refusal and said gently
"Your health is more important than those rules. If you don't obey then Zhen will simply co to Empress' courtyard without informing next ti."
What could Yi Huiqing say now? She knew that she would feel more troubled if the latter happened so she didn't say anything anymore.
And hence the matter ended then and there.
