Chapter 775: Qingqing Is Cute When She Is Annoyed

Yi Huiqing had to wake up early the next morning.

She was very unwilling, however, a part of her mind always stayed unconscious that she was not sleeping alone. Even the medicine didn't seem to be very effective last night.

She opened her eyes and looked at the opened window. The sun was about to rise. She looked at the man sleeping by her side on the same bed. He was facing her. For a moment, she couldn't help but stare at his face. He looked completely different from the cold and indifferent Zhao Zhang Wei when he was asleep. However, she soon moved her eyes away and then got out of bed to get ready hurriedly.

Since Zhao Zhang Wei spent the night here, as an Empress she ought to be ready by the time he would wake up and then send him out when he would wake up.

Not only this, in less than a shichen, the old Momo would come to train her. She sighed when she remembered this.

This was because she didn't want to become an Empress.

It was very troublesome. However, nothing could be done now.

With a not-so-good face, Yi Huiqing got ready with Lin Daiyu's help. Her maidservant was also aware that for the past few months, her mistress had been habitual of waking up late and living her life freely. There was simply no one to bother her.

Hence, she couldn't help but feel sad for her mistress.

However, she also thought that if the Emperor could come twice a month like this then her mistress' life would not be too hard in the Imperial Palace.

Inside the chambers, Zhao Zhang Wei woke up and frowned when he didn't see his wife on the bed. His frown deepened when he looked at the sky from the window. It was very early.

Where did she go?

Zhao Zhang Wei shouted for the servant. A maid soon came inside when he asked her about Empress, she informed him that the Empress was getting ready and would be here soon. Zhao Zhang Wei was still frowning. When Yi Huiqing entered the chambers all ready, he couldn't help but say

"Qingqing, you are still recovering. There is no need to wake up so early. You could rest for some more time."

He was worried about her health. At the same time, he wished that the first thing he could see was her face when he would wake up every morning and sleep at every night.

This Empress is good. Your Majesty doesn't need to worry. The water is already prepared. Your Majesty can wash up and then get ready. Breakfast would be prepared soon."

Zhao Zhang Wei sighed when he saw her so stubborn as well as polite. He decided to talk about this matter later.

For now, he indeed needed to get ready. The Imperial Assembly would start a little early today. So he left to wash up. When he came back, Yi Huiqing told him that the breakfast was ready. Zhao Zhang Wei nodded his head with an emotionless face. He felt very frustrated seeing her so polite. It looked as if she had built a wall around herself that he didn't even know how he could break For now, the only comfort was that she was in this Imperial Palace and he could see her whenever he wanted.

During breakfast, Zhao Zhang Wei calmly served a few dishes on Yi Huiqing's plate. Yi Huiqing was slightly startled but when she looked at the servants standing in the room, she smiled politely and thanked him.

She only thought he was doing all this because he didn't want Imperial Palace to have any rumors that the relationship between Emperor and Empress was not harmonious.

After having breakfast, Zhao Zhang Wei stood up to leave. Yi Huiqing had to accompany him to the entrance of the courtyard. She followed him silently but was confused when he suddenly stopped at the dining room entrance.

She couldn't help but raise her head to look at him. Her eyes widened when she suddenly saw him leaning and then a pair of lips fell on her forehead.

For a moment, she thought that everything seemed to stop.

"Take care." And then he left without even waiting for her to follow him. With a stupefied expression on her face, she slowly turned around to look at the servants who were standing with their heads lowered and were trying to hide their smile and blush.

'His Grandmother…there is no need to pretend so much!'

Yi Huiqing thought as she scolded Zhao Zhang Wei continuously. At the same time, her ears and cheek were red unknown if it was because of anger or shame.

Today was the first Imperial Assembly after Zhao Zhang Wei had been crowned as an Emperor.

Many things were discussed.

As the minister informed Zhao Zhang Wei about all the policies and how the treasury was used for the welfare of the people, he found that many things were wrong with all these policies and welfare schemes.

The funds allotted for the military were very less.

When he questioned the minister, the minister told him that the fund was reduced only a few months ago by the Emperor.

Xi Ying who was seated in the Imperial Assembly smiled coldly when he heard this. Of Course, Zhao Wang Lei did this.

Zhao Zhang Wei thought the same and increased the amount. Afterward, he allotted a few tasks to ministers.

He wanted complete information on his subject's economic problems and for that, he ordered ministers to appoint new people and survey the villages.

The policies were too old. Zhao Zhang Wei felt that they needed to be changed and for the change, new information was very necessary.

Many ministers agreed with the Emperor.

The Imperial Assembly lasted longer than usual.

When Zhao Zhang Wei left the Imperial Assembly, he knew that he had a lot of documents to review. However, the thought of going to that lonely study room slightly alienated him and he suddenly changed his direction.

Your Majesty…" Eunuch Zhang who was following his master couldn't help but call out in confusion. Zhao Zhang Wei didn't even turn around and said coldly "Bring all the documents to Lantai Courtyard." When the Imperial soldiers announced the arrival of the Emperor, Yi Huiqing who had just taken a breath after finishing an exhaustive day of training felt very annoyed. At the same time, she was confused. What was he doing here! Remembering the forehead kiss from the morning, her anger surged up. Was the man taking some kind of revenge on her because she had brought up the divorce? When Zhao Zhang Wei entered the chambers, he saw her annoyed face. However, he only found her cute as she stood there trying to keep a calm and polite look but was full of displeasure. A part of him was hurt that she was not happy to see him but he knew that it was also because of his own mistakes. "Greetings, Your Majesty" He sighed when he saw her behaving so respectfully. Just yesterday, he had told her that she didn't need to be so formal. However, she was too stubborn. Or perhaps she was too angry and didn't want to listen to him. Zhao Zhang Wei didn't argue with her wisely and he himself didn't use any honorary when he was with her. "Qingqing…I wish to review the documents here. You won't feel disturbed, right?" Yi Huiqing who heard his question looked at him.

She almost wanted to say that she would feel disturbed, however, she knew that she couldn't really say it. In the end, he was the Emperor.

Seeing her so silent, Zhao Zhang Wei thought that she was about to refuse. So when he saw her opening her mouth, he immediately walked forward and said

^I won't disturb you at all You can do your own work" Yi Huiqing's lips twitched when she looked at his back Soon Eunuch Wang entered with a stack of documents in his hands. When the young Eunuch saw Yi Huiqing, he greeted her very respectfully. After placing the documents, he left the chambers and waited outside for his master. Yi Huiqing sighed as he looked at the man seated on the chair and doing his own work. She walked to the table and took the book she was given to read by the old Momo. The book's name was Three Obedience and Four Virtues. As she looked at the name, Yi Huiqing felt a headache. Her grandfather would never let her read such a book. In her family, she had been treated as a boy by her grandfather. Once, he had also asked Uncle Li to teach her some skills to protect herself, however, her body constitution was too weak so she had learned only a little. However, it was enough to show that her grandfather and other family members didn't believe in things like Three obedience and Four Virtues. The chambers were silent as both of them did their own works silently. In between, Zhao Zhang Wei would often glance at her. Seeing her busy, he felt relieved that she didn't find his presence a bother. Zhao Zhang Wei was slowly learning. He first needed to ensure that Yi Huiqing would not fmd him annoying, only then he could make her like him. And for that, he thought he needed to be more and more around her. So that she would get so habitual of him that when he was not here, she would feel empty. The thought made him so energetic that he couldn't wait for such a day.

Seeing how Xi Ying was now living harmoniously with Lady Li, he was more motivated. If only they had a son or daughter, it would have been easier.

However, Zhao Zhang Wei thought that for all the difficulties he was facing, he simply deserved them. So he didn't have any right to complain. He needed to be patient. He lowered his head when he suddenly saw that Yi Huiqing was about to raise her head. Yi Huiqing frowned and looked at him. When she saw that, he was busy, she silently lowered her head. She must be feeling the illusion that he was looking at her. On the other hand, Zhao Zhang Wei smiled when he raised his head to glance at her again. Somehow he focused his attention again on the documents in his hands..
