MY WASTE PRINCE

I don"t know how to reduce her sadness. I just gave him a hug. He hugged me back. I could hear his heart beat as we embrace each other. We sleep by hugging each other. Amazingly, I don"t feel tight.

I pay attention to my husband"s face. I can"t imagine how much his sadness? From birth, he did not feel the affection of his parents. His mother died after giving birth. His father hated him because of his mother"s mistake.

I imagine what if he was among all his brothers and sisters. They can call Bixia as fù huáng (Father-Emperor). Then when my husband spoke, he could not call Bixia as fù huáng.

I understand why he never appeared at the Palace Banquet. Maybe he did not feel confident because his own father did not care about his presence there. Maybe he didn"t want to be sad when he saw all of his siblings get along with his father. Whereas he can"t.

That is why he loves Yao Mama very much. Only Yao Mama gave him love and attention.

Now, I understand why he never appeared at the Lord"s Banquet. Maybe he realized that no one would care about him. All the n.o.ble families will ignore him because they think he has no influence. They even dubbed him waste.

As for my father, he could not openly show his concern for my husband.

My husband suddenly opened his eyes. He smiled at me.

"Aifei (My Beloved Consort), are you awake?" My husband asked me and I nodded my head.

"Are you having a good dream?" He asked me while stroking my cheek.

"I"m not dreaming. What does Junw.a.n.gye dream of? Is it beautiful?"I turned to ask him.

"There is no. However, if my dream was beautiful, it means nothing for me. Because reality is far more beautiful than my dream. Because in this real world, I have you, "my husband told me. He started teasing me again. I smiled at his words.

"Where did my husband learn about praise sentences like this?" I asked him.

"Didn"t I say that your father is my teacher?" He asked again. I laughed at that.

"My father doesn"t know how to praise women. My mother said that my father had a cold mind and a sharp mouth. He can"t make sweet words, "I said after I finished laughing. He laughed then faced up. Look at the roof of our room.

"You are right. My Shifu (teacher) was very cold. He also rarely give me a words of praise. If he wants to praise, he will smile and clap loudly, "my husband said to me and I immediately remembered my father"s face.

"However, my father often praised Yun Jing Fei," I said and my heart felt sad. My father is my biological father. I want him to just praise me.

"You hate your jiě jie (older sister)?" He asked me.

"I hate her? Yes. I don"t like hearing my father praise her. I don"t like it when my mother and younger brother praise her. I don"t like to see her familiar with the servants. Then the servants praised Jing Fei excessively, "I said frankly.

I remember how my sister easily became familiar with other people. When I took her to the Market, she easily became familiar with the merchants and shopkeepers.

That"s why I don"t want to take her to the royal banquet. I"m afraid that the n.o.bles will praise her more than me, afraid that they will make friends with him then ignore me.

"She doesn"t sound bad," my husband said. I sat down immediately. I looked at his face which was staring upwards.

"I will hate you if you praise her," I spoke firmly. However, I immediately regretted my words.

"I will not praise her. I"ll just praise you, "he said then pulled my head so that our lips touched each other.

"However, seeing you jealous like this, I"m happy," he said after kissing me. I sighed. I got out of bed.

"Aifei is angry?" He asked me when I open the door. I turned and saw him. He didn"t look panicked. He smiled at me. I know he is teasing me.

"Yes," I said to him. He sighed and got out of bed. He walked over to me. He took me into his arms again.

"I don"t care about any woman in this world. I will only care and praise Xia He. Since long ago, I only loved you, "my husband told me. I feel happy to hear that.

There is only me for him. Only me!

I love being the most important and most special person. Especially for my husband.

"That means there won"t be concubines here?" I asked him. He laughed.

"What for? I have you here, "he answered me.

"Also, won"t the servant to warmer your bed?" I asked again.

"Only you will warm my bed," he said. My heart is satisfied.

"Isn"t w.a.n.gye hungry?" I asked him and he laughed.

"You hear the sound of my stomach?" He asked me while looking at my face. I nod my head.

"Let"s have breakfast! I"m sure Yao Mama has prepared a delicious breakfast for us, "he said cheerfully. He held my hand and we went together to the dining room.

***

After breakfast, my husband went to his study room. Yao Mama took me around in w.a.n.gfu.

Today is my second day at Xiao w.a.n.gfu. Yesterday my husband and I were in the palace all day. Only today I can to go around to see the condition of this w.a.n.gfu.

"Since when did Xiao Junw.a.n.gye live here?" I asked Yao Mama after seeing four rooms.

"We just moved to here one year ago," Yao Mama answered me while entering a room. The room is empty.

"Only one year? So, even though Junw.a.n.gye has reached adulthood, he is not directly given a new place of residence? "I asked her. She nodded her head. I sighed.

What my husband experienced was a shame. She was older than me three years, that"s mean she was twenty-one years old. Men are considered adults after fourteen years old. However, my new husband was allowed to live outside the Palace after being twenty years old. No wonder everyone mocks him.

"The furniture is still very minimal. Only rooms that are often used have furniture, "Yao Mama explained. Her words broke my thoughts.

I looked at the room we entered. This is the fifth room I saw. The situation is the same. The room was empty and had no furniture.

The room felt stuffy. I opened the window.

"Yao Mama, has w.a.n.gfu been around for a long time? I mean, this w.a.n.gfu is not a new building? "I asked her. All I know, every prince who reaches adulthood will get a new building.

"No, Junw.a.n.gfei. This w.a.n.gfu was owned by Uncle of Bixia. When Bixia was a child, his uncle rebelled. He was sentenced to death and this w.a.n.gfu was left empty since then," Yao Mama said.

I immediately felt uncomfortable. I remember when I read book about history of the royal family. That book said Bixia"s uncle had rebelled. That"s rebelled movement is verry big.

However, I did not expect that I would live in his house. Bixia is really outrageous. He gave the rebel"s building to his own son! Isn"t it like give bad luck to his son?

"How many years this w.a.n.gfu is empty until you stay here?" I asked Yao Mama. She sighed.

"Maybe almost fifty years," she replied. I sighed.

"There must be a lot of damage,"

"Yes, Junw.a.n.gfei. However, we don"t have the money to fix it, "Yao Mama justified my words. I was surprised to hear that.
