Chapter 669 - Will Be Proud
"Wang Hao, you were not supposed to force Huo Jin with your sister," Sheng Li stated. "It will only burden him," he asserted.
"Your Majesty, I cannot see my sister get hurt. My Father last night told me that he would look for a good proposal for Yin Na. He told me to make Yin Na understand that she should let Huo Jin go from her mind. But I don't think she will be able to do that. That's why I asked Huo Jin to consider my sister's feelings once and repay me. I know that I turned selfish, but it is for my sister," he proclaimed.
"What do you want me to do?" Sheng Li questioned him.
"I want to make it successful, Your Majesty. Huo Jin will go out with my sister but only once. He said that he would not assure me that he would be willing to open up to Yin Na. I want his Majesty to help me," Wang Hao requested to Sheng Li.
"I am not able to understand what you are trying to do! I talked to Huo Jin a few days ago. I told him to let Xinyue out of his mind and heart. He said that he would try. Wang Hao, I understand your love for your sister, but I don't think we should do anything in this matter. Let your sister prove herself to Huo Jin. In my opinion, it's the time when Yin Na should make diligent efforts," asserted Sheng Li.
"Your Majesty, Yin Na did everything. But Huo Jin simply refused her," Wang Hao stated.
"No. Only you are doing things behind her back. What if she finds out that you forced Huo Jin? She will get upset. Let them get close on their own. If destiny wants, then they surely will be together else there are indeed many nice men," Sheng Li advised him.
Wang Hao acknowledged Sheng Li's suggestion and thanked him for hearing him out. "Your Father demanded the death sentence for Zhou Xuweng, I passed that order. Zhou Xuweng's father also came to plead with me. Now, I understand why my father always refrained from giving death sentences," Sheng Li proclaimed.
"But it's your duty as the Emperor to end the injustice," Wang Hao asserted.
"Lili told me that you will take Princess Bai to your home for a tour," Sheng Li stated.
Wang Hao realized that he forgot to ask his father. "Yes, I want to, Your Majesty. If you allow, then may I take Princess Bai to my home," Wang Hao requested to Sheng Li.
"You may take Princess Bai. Hopefully, she agrees to marry you," Sheng Li asserted.
"Thank you, Your Majesty," Wang Hao bowed before him.
Sheng Li walked to him and patted his shoulder. "Your sister will surely get the happiness she deserves. Let things happen on their own. You will get good outcomes," Sheng Li stated.
"Yes, Your Majesty. I understand your words," he stated.
"Today the Princes went hunting. I miss my old days. Do you remember the time when we both hunted a deer together?" Sheng Li asked him and put his hands down.
"Yes, Your Majesty. It was your first hunting after you practiced archery for two years. We can go someday," Wang Hao stated.
"After my kids grow up, I will go with them. But Lili will scold me. She forbade violence, so I have to find another play that my kids enjoy with me," Sheng Li stated with a smile.
Wang Hao was delighted to see how much Sheng Li grew up. It seemed to him that the anger had completely left Sheng Li.
"It will be a month soon," Sheng Li said with a smile. "I just want everything to go smoothly. She bloomed the life of this cold person," he complimented Ying Lili again.
"I still remember the days when you used to get annoyed by the Empress. Hu Jingguo played an important role, I feel. His Majesty was jealous of him when he was around the Empress," Wang Hao asserted.
"I never got jealous of him. I was angry at myself that being Lili's husband, I knew nothing about her," Sheng Li replied.
"I will train the children of His Majesty. One of them will be destined to become the next Crown Prince," Wang Hao showed a little glimpse to Sheng Li about his kids' future.
"I don't want any of them to get involved in the politics of the Palace. There are other brothers as well. I will choose the one who will be capable to lead the Empire after me. The harsh things that I bore, I don't want my children to face them," Sheng Li expressed his desires.
"Your kids' future is already secured," Wang Hao told him.
"But sometimes I wonder how they will react upon learning about my past self? They will get sad after knowing that their father mercilessly killed so many people in his life. I might not be able to see their gaze. Sometimes, I wonder if I will be a good father to them. There are many insecurities inside me, Wang Hao," Sheng Li asserted.
"When you can be a great son, a great husband, a great brother, a great Emperor then I am sure you can be a great Father as well," Wang Hao showed his faith in Sheng Li.
"Your past was based on the numerous bad events that occurred in your life. But His Majesty works beautifully on his present to make his future bright. Now, when I go among the people, I find how happy they are! They are happy to have you as the Emperor. Your kids will be proud of their father," Wang Hao asserted.
"You have been a great support in my entire journey. A great friend and a great big brother you are to me! I really wish that Princess Bai will accept you. Your beautiful family will start then. Lili and I will try our best to convince Princess Bai Yaling from our end. Just make constructive efforts," Sheng Li wished him and hugged him tightly.. Wang Hao put his hands on Sheng Li's back and the two smiled.
