Chapter 120 - Adoption
When Zhao Li Xin returned from his spatial space he immediately looking for her, but he didn't find her in her room than one of his servants told him the first princess was awake and Luo Ri Yi is with her, Zhao Li Xin take a long strides to where she is, from distance he already hear the sound of people talking and laughing, it gives him sense of comfort knowing her safe and sounds.
He enters the room without knocking, he startled Ming Yue Yin who accidentally drops her dumpling back to the plate while Lory smiles widely when she sees him
"You here!" she exclaimed.
Her warmed welcome soften the air around him, he takes a seat beside Lory while stroking his head gently, ever since he knew a little bit about her background his heart becomes restless, he already loves her in the past but now that's words can't even describe his feeling towards her, his heart aching when he remembers how hard her past life is, he didn't know exactly what happened but from how Huo Long told him it's must be very bad.
Lory notice he acted differently today "What's wrong?"
"Nothing…" he smiles faintly.
Lory didn't ask further since he didn't want to talk about it, she only smiles back at him.
Ming Yue Yin shift her between Lory and Zhao Li Xin, both of them seems wrapped in pink bubbles without notice her, Ming Yue Ying used to saw how the concubines curry favor to the emperor but they all look calculative and not genuine so no matter how much intimated they are with the Emperor Ming Yue Ying never feel move is like watching a play.
But when she sees Zhao Li Xin and Lory interact with each other she can see the pink bubbles and pink heart surrounding them, they look so much in love, she holds herself not to shriek excitedly.
Lory feels someone staring at her and turns out it's Ming Yue Ying who staring at her with weird eyes "Oh, this is Ming Yue Yin, she just awoke a few hours ago" Lory awkwardly introduces them.
Zhao Li Xin glance a second at Ming Yue Yin, he makes a short grunt "Hm.." then he poured warmed tea nonchalantly.
'Now, you remember me Aunty, and uncle why are you look so mean? So scary….'
Ming Yue Ying rise from her sit then cupped her hand elegantly "This one is ming Yue Yin, thank you for helping me and your generous hospitality Lord Long Ming"
"Don't mention it, it's my fiancée wishes anyway…." He said casually, then he sips Lory flower tea slowly, it's too sweet for him but he doesn't mind.
His attitude shows his helping her not because of her but because lory wants it, but Ming Yue Ying doesn't feel offended on contrary she feel glad that Long ming treat Lory very well, she had seen how hard and dreadful her life was in a dream, ever since that her admiration and respect to Lory has to reach whole another level, if she can have half her perseverance she believed she would make through everything.
In Ming Yue Yin's opinion a woman like Lory deserves the world, she wishes someone who will love her and pampered her like a Queen and this Zhao Li Xin seems like the one. She grinned ear to ear "I understand, I'm grateful to both of you" she bows politely without hesitated.
Her eyes seem genuine, and she cares about Luo Ri Yi so Zhao Li Xin didn't have a bad opinion on Ming Yue Ying. Lory feels relief Zhao Li Xin doesn't have a bad impression on Ming Yue Yin she always knew his strong rejection of other people especially women so when he looking at Ming Yue Yin without disdained expression only flat expression that can be a good sign.
"You have bad cultivation…." Suddenly Zhao Li Xin comments.
Ming Yue Yin who just sits on her chair almost falls from shocked when she heard him, she is a Grandmaster level at the core stage, no one in the Kingdom reach her level at her age, Ming Yue Yin feels wrong but she did not dare to refuted she can only purse her lips.
Zhao Li Xin ignores her unhappy face or maybe he just doesn't realize or care about it "Your level is false and your foundation is weak, tell me how much pill and elixir you used!"
Ming Yue Ying bulged "I…." how could he tell him she used pill every time she wants to breakthrough and elixir to strengthen her body, everyone said this is normal and everyone doing it so she never questions it.
Zhao Li Xin stare at her like she's stupid "What she's doing is like building a castle with sands, it's looking good from the outside but weak on the inside, if you fight with someone who got a solid foundation in Knight level cultivation, you should be lost"
Ming Yue Ying agape, is it really that bad but 'uncle' won't lie to her, is this another schemed from the Emperor, everyone thought his pampering her by giving her so much pill and elixir without regards but the truth is he weaken her slowly, tears rolling from her eyes, she's so angry and mostly embarrassed how stupid she is, she lead by the nose by everyone inside the palace, did her master cultivation know about this too, is he cooperated with the Emperor to lead her astray?
Lory feel bad for her, she tug Zhao Li Xin sleeve "Can you help her?" she pleaded Zhao Li Xin, of course, he would help her but with some advantages, Zhao Li Xin is no saint with other people he is shrewd and black bellies as anyone can be.
"Mong Yi, called Jin Hao here," he said with a flat tone, Mong Yi emerged from behind the door "Yes, Milord!" he cupped his fist respectfully before he disappears, at that time Lory only question one thing
'How long he's been there?'
But Ming Yue Yin didn't seem bothered by Mong Yi sudden appear and disappear, Lory wonders how much more she needs to adjust with this world custom.
"Don't worry, have you eaten yet?" Zhao Li Xin eyes back to Lory again, his eyes brimmed with gentleness so much different when he talks to Ming Yue Yin, make her perplexed but happy at the same time but she wishes her 'uncle' treat her nicely…oh whatever it's seems her Aunty still have better standing above her uncle, she would hold her aunty thigh tightly.
Most women use to self-proclaimed as his lovers but he would never know some weird woman has proclaimed herself as his niece.
"I eat a lot of dumpling with this brat" she points at Ming Yue Yin rudely with a chopstick.
If it's other people Ming Yue Yin would be furious but because she's Lory she not offended the slightest she loves it when Lory acted casual with her, she lifted her chopstick then continue her meal.
Zhao Li Xin order servant to prepare red bean soup for Lory, then Lory told the servants to bring another bowl for the 'brat' whose her eyes glint when she heard red Bean soup, Ming Yue Yin smiles brightly even though her uncle is cold with her but her Aunty is so nice, this is great!
When both of them eating happily while Zhao Li Xin drinks his wine quietly, Jin Hao arrived he softly knocked the door before he enters, he surprised the Princes who slept for months now awaked and eat with vigor, is she a glutton?
"Master Jin" Lory greeted Jin Hao with polite smiles.
"Milord, young Miss, First princess" he bows politely at them, his white silky hair flown behind his back his refined demeanor remains unchanged, he smiles at Ming Yue Yin but somehow she feels shiver to her spine, this man is not simple he rather with scary 'uncle'.
"Jin Hao, check her condition," Zhao Li Xin said nonchalantly.
Because Ming Yue Yin is a princess he must do with proper etiquette, he put clean handkerchief on her wrist before he checks her pulse, Lory amazed how elegant he is when checking someone else but he never that courteous with her, lorry assumed it's because she's not Princess but the real reason is because Zhao Li Xin threatening glare every time he check her condition, Zhao Li Xin always make him nervous and rain him with question he needs to answers because of that he forgot the proper etiquette he even forgot to breath.
He lifts his hand from Ming Yue Yin wrist then he said elegantly "Your condition….is a wrecked"
'Ahk, it hurts!'
Ming Yue Yin mouth twitch, can he said it nicely why all man in this place is so blunt it's not matched with their dashing appearance.
"But strangely is not ruined your body, only your cultivating is on a mess, it's weird…" Jin Hao contemplating.
Ming Yue Yin eyes lit up "It's because the 'Gift' isn't it, Aunty?" she exclaimed
"Who's Aunty, what Gift?" Jin Hao muttered.
Lory already finishes her bowl of soup, she props her chin lazily "Perhaps" she gave perfunctory replied.
"Are you adopting a niece, Youn Miss" Jin Hao asked with the same politeness.
"More like she adopting me…" Lory sighs "I don't want to have the same age niece, that's so weird…" she complains.
"What so weird about it, it's normal in the royal family, some people even have uncle and aunty who is younger than them" with so many young concubines in the imperial harem, it's not weird if that happened.
Lory's eyes squinted "That's…..disturbing, but suit yourself" Lory gives up she shrugs her shoulder tiredly, this brat is not the listening type.
Ming Yue Yin smiles grew wider "Aunty, uncle" he bows courteously at them. Zhao Li Xin has no problem someone calling hin uncle if Lory is the 'Aunty' isn't that only solidified their relationship, how could he refuted, His little savior also like this weird Princess so he had no comment.
A sudden and weird change happened in front of Jin Hao, he only stunned for a moment but when Zhao Li Xin seems not aginst it he didn't say anything too, he only bows courteously at Zhao Li Xin and Luo Ri Yi
"Congratulations…"
"...…"
"...…"
He enters the room without knocking, he startled Ming Yue Yin who accidentally drops her dumpling back to the plate while Lory smiles widely when she sees him
