The Employed Empress - 176 They are Bored
“Ouch…” Wei Yi Yi cradled her hand and cried out. “My… wrist it—hurts!” Each word uttered caused her body to tremble.
At the very next second, Jiang Liu was thrown out of the picture.
Wei Lian grasped his sister’s shoulders with firmness. “Was it strained? Is the pain unbearable?”
The expression on Wei Lian’s face remained blank. Even so, his tone that turned a few degrees softer, coaxing, and full of gentle concern, as well as the insulting mouth that disappeared without a trace, all of this become evidence of his true feelings.
As a brother, this man’s priorities are amusingly straighter than expected. Despite being swat to the grass by this very person just then, admiration dawned upon Jiang Liu’s face. The eyes that he use to view Wei Lian installed a few filters and redeem the man a hundred points.
“…Brother.”
“What is it? Let brother see.” Wei Lian took Wei Yi Yi arms with caution and brought her wrist in front of his face to see.
A wrist so thin that could be snapped with a careless touch belong to his sister. The skin was as clear as a jade. It was comparable to the whiteness of the clouds with a few reddish blush to show liveliness. This smooth… It seems to be ok? There was no… bruised…?
Wei Lian squeezed his eyes into ugly slits. He pinched Wei Yi Yi’s chin and she willingly raised her head to meet him with a harden face. Any trace of pain or discomfort in her voice cannot be found reflected on her face.
Rather, her pursed lips quivers before losing control. A large grind emerged in Wei Yi Yi’s mouth. “Then clearly, you are the dumbest.”
Wei Lian who got baited, “…”
Wei Yi Yi whose pride shot up to the sky, “Also, ‘foolish’ is the proper word, Mister Scholar.”
Wei Lian responded by twisting her wrist.
“It hurts!” Wei Yi Yi cried out in pain. This time, all emotion were real.
“Shouting and attracting attention is unbecoming of a lady. Wouldn’t you agree so, Your Majesty?”
If you are so brave, kneel down and let me act properly as an empress by punishing you! Wei Yi Yi counterattacked and in a flash, kicked Wei Lian using the hardest part of her boots.
The two end up in a stand still. They didn’t notice a certain prince, who upon seeing the two together, retreated to a safe distance.
Greeting each other, Jiang Cheng nodded. That was inevitable, still within expectations. Spending time in each other’s presence, Jiang Cheng smile stiffen. There’s a storm coming. He needed to reevaluate his life choices.
The two wrestle for dominance. Wei Lian let go, expecting Wei Yi Yi to be taken by surprise. Familiar with his line of thoughts, Wei Yi Yi grabbed Wei Lian in time to drag him. They both lost balance, stumble on their feet, and almost squeezed the unsuspecting Jiang Liu.
Jiang Cheng cannot keep watching. His old illness resurface and his stomach grumble in utter pain. His fingers itched as a conditional response. Right now, in all honestly, he wanted to stuff her back to the palace.
If not for their servants and attendants that learned enough lessons, these two disappointment of an adult would have been the center of attention by now.
Jiang Liu laughed and laughed. Treating everything as a good show. The abrupt panic, the reckless action, and the rapid change of tone, this aspect of Wei Lian was all too amusing for Jiang Liu. Learning how to watch a good show from Wei Yi Yi, he instantly forgot how he was swatted like a fly just then.
Getting a glimpsed of the future awaiting his younger brother, Jiang Cheng lit an incenses in his heart for Jiang Liu. He decided to burn a real one once they got back. Brother, you are too innocent. They are only bored enough to target each other. Once their sight landed on you, it’ll be too late to even shed tears.
The reason why Wei manor is in a mess, why the family was fragmented and the siblings separated, Jiang Cheng is the clearest about it.
“My Lord…?” A familiar voice called out to him. Jiang Cheng thought once and reacted. He blocked Wen Yang’s sight as he turn his head around.
“Are the horses prepared?” Jiang Cheng put out the direction of the conversation straight away.
In doubts, Wen Yang affirmed. “En… Wangye, what are you…”
“Then let us go back.” Jiang Cheng hold his wife’s soft hands and led her away just as she attempted to view past him.
For unknown reason, Wen Yang has been fidgeting since yesterday. She was easily startle by people approaching. Jiang Cheng knew she been biting her lips so that her discomfort in the surface. Her own temperament, how could he, her husband not know?
His action gentler than usual, the prince picked up his princess with caution and mounted her into the horse. When Jiang Cheng attempted to climb behind, Wen Yang realized that this was not the horse prepared for her. It was Wangye’s.
