Chapter 198
Then Baili Jue stood up and went out . But he rushed back after two steps to held Xia Liang in his arms and gave her a big kiss while she was standing up, then said,
“Since you are missing me, I will miss you too . ”
“Take the book . ”
Xia Liang put the book to him and smiled as she thought of the way he rushed out and talked . She said to 9957,
“He is cute in this world, isn’t he?”
“Wow! Liang, now you can tell that he is cute . ” 9957 was surprised and checked the progress bar which had already finished 40% .
The death of Xia Min in last world was indeed a huge pain for Liang . She learned despair and pain in that world which was why she could have a taste of sweet love . Therefore, it could be seen that she would have a bright future regarding her love life .
Defu surprisingly found that the emperor was in a great mood today because he was happy on the outside and inside . He was having a smiling face even a maid served him a wrong cup of tea .
Defu was confused and curious why the emperor was so happy .
About noon while Baili Jue was focusing on reading the book Xia Liang gave him, Defu reported that the empress dowager invited him to lunch .
Baili Jue put down the book, although he didn’t like the idea .
The empress dowager and he were not close since ever although she was his own mother . She had never been as gentle as mother to him, but gentle to Baili Xi .
When he was young, he would feel the pain and anger and eager for her attention . But when he turned to 10, he didn’t feel that way . He had never sought for her attention since . They had remained a distance from each other for years .
The empress dowager had no intention to stay close to him either . But once in a while, she would invite him over to say something what a mother would say .
By contrast, she invited Prince of Rui quite often, more than him .
“Did you hear anything else except for the lunch?” asked Baili Jue as he hurried along .
“Miss Chen is in the empress dowager's palace and she is going to spend a few quality days with empress dowager . ” Defu trotted to catch up with the emperor out of breath .

To catch up with the emperor who had been working out and good at martial arts, it was a lot of work for Defu .
Baili Jue gave a look at Defu and slowed down and sneered, “Miss Chen? Quality days? What’s my mother doing?”
“You have been crowned for three years . It is about time to get married . ” Defu whispered, “she must be worried . ”
“Get married?” Baili Jue smiled, thinking of Xia Liang and said, “you are right . It is about time . I will ask people to match her birthday with mine later to choose a day, and then the Minster of Courtesy can proceed with the wedding . ”
“Huh?” Defu froze there in shock .
Did he just mean that he already had a girl on his mind? Oh my god? Who was it? How could he not know one thing about it at all?
Defu couldn’t be more confused .
When he came back to senses, the emperor had already gone far . He had to speed up and tried his best to catch up .
“With one more look, I will peel your clothes off and toss you to a bunch of girls so that you can enjoy a life . ” Baili Jue threatened as Defu kept looking at him .

Defu shivered as he was threatened . It brought back to his old memory . Then he no longer dared to look at the emperor .
However,
“Your majesty, who were you talking about?” Defu couldn’t wait .
“You will know in a few days . ” Baili Jue’s voice went soft and smiled as he thought of Xia Liang .
Defu was very curious of whom made the emperor so happy .
Finally he knew why the emperor was in a good mood . He was in love with someone .
Soon they made it to the Palace of Cining where the empress dowager lived .
“You are here . ” The empress dowager said calmly as she saw the emperor and then said to the eunuch, “serve the food . ”

“Good day, mother . ” Baili Jue bowed to empress dowager slightly and said no more, sat down, and drunk a cup of tea .
Apparently he had no intention to have a chitchat with the empress dowager nor spare a look at the beautiful woman who was right beside the empress dowager .
It went silent and depressed in the hall .
“Come here . Meet your cousin Xin’er . You met once when you were young and you played together . ” Finally, the empress dowager broke the ice and said smilingly pointing Chen Xin’er .
Baili Jue sneered, putting down the tea cup, “It’s hard to believe that my cousin is a spinster now . Do the math . If she played with me when we were children, she must be over 20 years old . But look at you . You dress like an unmarried girl . Do you come here to ask my mother to arrange a marriage for you because you can’t find a husband on your own?”
Baili Jue was mean and annoying when he meant to be . It was a huge insulting to say that a girl couldn’t find a husband .
“Son!” the empress dowager clapped the chair hard and yelled, “What are you talking about? Xin’er just turned 15 this year . And she is your cousin and the daughter of Chen family . How is it possible to not find a husband?”
“Mother, take it easy . You mislead me because you said that we used to play together when we were children . ” Baili Jue explained .
Chen Xin’er, who had gazed at Baili Jue with love, now was feeling wronged with her eyes full of shame and her pale face, and hands rubbing her handkerchief .
