Chapter 628 - My Sister Happy
Wang Hao and Xiao Zhan stood up from the floor chairs when Sheng Li entered the private chamber. They both bowed in front of him. Sheng Li sat down and gestured to them to sit.
"How is the Empress, Your Majesty?" Xiao Zhan asked.
"She is well. She just had sweets made of dried fruits," Sheng Li told them. "Since it's the first month, I need to be extrely cautious. Lili sotis acts like a child. Court Lady Ki told that that's because a mother usually has so energy changes in her body in the first three months," he added and told the maidservant to bring the wine for them.
"Then His Majesty shall be with Her Majesty. We will organize such an event so other day," Wang Hao suggested to Sheng Li.
"Lili is sleeping at this ti. She told that I must have drinks with my friends. Also, if I delay it today, then I do not know whether we will be able to enjoy drinks together or not. You both will get married soon," Sheng Li said and smiled.
The maidservant ca inside with a tray in her hand. She knelt and carefully put the wine jar and cups on the table. She grasped the porcelain jar when Sheng Li told her to leave. She stood up, stepped back, and left the chamber.
"General Wang, my father t your father this week. They both usually go together for hunting. Are you marrying the daughter of the Pri Minister?" Xiao Zhan asked him.
"I do not know. Father did not talk about this with . Even the Emperor is saying the sa. Am I really going to marry the daughter of the Pri Minister?" Wang Hao asked and chuckled. He picked the jar and poured the wine into the three cups.
He handed the first cup to Sheng Li, who raised it a little and said, "This is for our everlasting friendship." Wang Hao and Xiao Zhan also sipped the wine from their respective cups.
"Ahh, I almost forgot the taste of wine. It has been long since I last tasted it," Wang Hao said and sipped more of it.
"His Majesty used to drink a lot. However, after marriage he reduced drinking," Xiao Zhan said and smiled.
"I used to drink to forget my pain and to get sleep. However, after Lili ca into my life things changed. And now I am going to be the father of two kids, so I shall refrain from all this," Sheng Li stated and smiled. "Though drinking occasionally is good," he said and poured more wine in his cup.
"My wife changed . She brought so many beautiful things into my life. This is the kind of life I have never imagined. I an… my acts were enough for people to hate , especially won. However, Lili saw differently. My heart gets fluttered seeing her every day," Sheng Li asserted. Wang Hao and Xiao Zhan smiled while looking at him.
"We are happy for His Majesty. The day we stepped in Juyan, I had the feeling that sothing great was coming in His Majesty's way since Princess of Juyan was known among n," Wang Hao affird and picked the wine cup.
"And you didn't even tell about her," Sheng Li stated.
"I did. His Majesty was getting angry at ," Wang Hao reminded him. Sheng Li moved his hand in the air and told him to ignore that.
"Wang Hao, how's your sister doing?" Sheng Li asked him suddenly.
"She is well. Why did the Emperor ask?"
"Your father told that he's worried about her marriage too. I think that he does not know that Yin Na used to be a Courtesan. Did the household people not tell him when you were away?" Sheng Li sipped the remaining wine from the glass.
"I told them not to tell my father about Yin Na's profession. I will inform him myself. Also, I neglected Yin Na, and she ended up in the Brothel because of ," Wang Hao said with guilt.
"You were busy serving the Empire. Also, you did not know that her brother would sell her for money. You did more than a brother could do for his sister," Sheng Li corrected him. Xiao Zhan agreed with his words and poured the wine for them.
"Yin Na is scared of the na of marriage. I don't think she will marry anyti soon," Wang Hao answered and gulped the wine. He put it down on the table and wiped his lips.
"That's understandable," Sheng Li replied and sipped a little.
"What about Huo Jin? I saw them going to the market four days ago. Your sister is comfortable around Huo Jin," Xiao Zhan told him.
"Really?" Wang Hao asked him to confirm.
"Yes. I have seen them together many tis," Xiao Zhan replied.
"But Huo Jin doesn't love her," Sheng Li stated. Both Wang Hao and Xiao Zhan looked at him.
"But, Your Majesty, they look good together," Xiao Zhan replied.
"Huo Jin has soone in his heart and he's loyal to her," Sheng Li told them.
"Who?" Wang Hao asked as he had forgotten about it.
"Xinyue who had taken the identity of Zhilao Mi," Sheng Li replied. "He might be good to Yin Na because of Wang Hao. What I an is Huo Jin will never fall in love with any woman," he affird.
"Why is His Majesty so confident about it?" Wang Hao knitted his brows.
"Have you ever fallen in love?" Sheng Li asked him.
"No, Your Majesty," he replied. However, I feel what it is to be in love," he stated.
"Huo Jin is a different man. For him Xinyue was the only woman," Sheng Li asserted.
"But she never loved him," Wang Hao argued. "Yin Na must have sothing in her heart for him. She never goes out with any man except . It ans that she trusts Huo Jin. Also, he is a man with morals," Wang Hao stated.
"Wang Hao, don't talk to Huo Jin regarding your sister. I know that you are concerned for her, but Huo Jin will get hurt," Sheng Li advised him.
"Your Majesty, he shall move on," Xiao Zhan intervened. "Xinyue was just a mistake in his life," he proclaid.
"But he doesn't consider it a mistake. I have talked to him regarding this a long ti ago. Also, Wang Hao, I can find the best man for your sister. Just tell anyti," Sheng Li stated and picked the cup again.
"Your Majesty, I think Huo Jin is that man.. He is the one, who will keep my sister happy," Wang Hao affird.
