I alone am the Honoured One! - Chapter 755

Chapter 755: A celebration? [1]
Hm?

Zhao Tian raised her head to look at Zhou Hanyue, who just entered the room “Hanyue?”

A smile appeared on her face as she hurriedly walked to him “Husband.. as I heard from the maids you are really here.”

She sat beside him on the couch and hugged his left arm, leaning onto him.

Looking at her, he gave a faint nod as he placed his hand above hers “Yeah.. I came here to meet the Sect Master.”

She sighed and leaned her head on his shoulder “You were very busy with Alchemy that you barely even got time to come and meet me.”

Hearing this, he smiled and kissed her head “Well, forgive me for that… I will surely come to see you often from now on.”

Zhou Hanyue was excited to hear this and raised her head to look at him “You promise?”

His gaze softened, and he gave a smile “Yeah.”

She leaned forward and kissed his cheek, relishing the warmth of his skin.

Ji Shuang’s eyes squinted in thought as she noticed his demeanor… for the first time after Yao Jing’s death, he felt a little energetic.

He doesn’t have that dull look in his face anymore.

‘What happened?’

The Empress coughed gently and spoke “Hanyue… you are still the princess of the Jade Eclipse Dynasty.”

Zhou Hanyue just sighed and replied “It doesn’t matter…”

“I am still a wife to my Husband.”

The Empress shook her head helplessly, but was also happy in her heart to see that Zhou Hanyue was finally enjoying her life.

Perhaps, after everything, her daughter had finally found her happiness.

Taking a sip of his tea, Zhao Tian muttered “I saw that Zhou Hein is also doing well.”

Keeping her smile, the Empress replied “He is still very young and new to all of this… but I am personally training him.”

“After his father’s death, he became determined… far more than I ever expected. He carries the weight of his responsibilities with a sense of duty that would make his father proud.”

“There is still much he needs to understand, but he is not reckless. He listens, observes, and absorbs everything around him.”

Zhao Tian’s gaze squinted slightly “And what about the Apex Stars.”

“They support us. Within a few years, everything will return to normal. The storm has passed, and stability is returning to the dynasty.”

Zhao Tian nodded his head in understanding, and Zhou Hanyue leaned forward to whisper in his ear “Are you free later?”

Zhao Tian gave a nod and replied “Yeah, I am…”

A smile bloomed on Zhou Hanyue’s face “Want to spend the afternoon with me?”

Hearing this, his gaze softened “Sure…”

A big smile appeared on her face and she took his hand without hesitation, her fingers wrapping around his as if she had done so a thousand times before.

“Come on, let’s leave now.”

Zhao Tian placed the tea cup on the table and stood up as she pulled her up.

He turned to look at the two women “I will take my leave….”

Both women smiled and nodded their heads.

…

As they walked through the corridors of the palace, the soft hum of conversations and the occasional footsteps of attendants filled the air.

Zhou Hanyue held his hand firmly, “It feels like it’s been forever since we had a moment alone,” she murmured, her tone carrying a hint of longing.

“You’ve been so busy that I barely even get to see you. Sometimes I wonder if you still remember that I exist.”

Zhao Tian glanced at her and his grip tightened slightly. “I remember.”

Zhou Hanyue laughed softly. “You say that, but you barely visit.”

He let out a sigh and raised his hand, gently caressing her hair “I know… I’ll make it up to you.”

“You better…”

“Mhm…”

“Oh, Lady Hanyue…”

Zhou Hanyue turned her head and looked at Lan Shuqin who was walking towards her “Shuqin.”

Lan Shuqin came to a stop before them, exhaling softly as if she had been searching for quite some time “I have been searching for you. Where did you go?”

Giggling, Zhou Hanyue hugged Zhao Tian’s arm tightly “I heard from the other maids that he came back, so I went searching for him.”

Lan Shuqin turned to look at Zhao Tian and bowed her head “It’s been a while, Master Tian.”

With a smile, he nodded his head “Hmm…”

…

Under the nightsky, sitting on a pavilion inside the palace gardens, a soft sigh escaped Zhao Tian’s lips.

Today, he had spent the entire day with Zhou Hanyue.

She dragged him across the palace, pulling him into small walks, teasing him with playful words, stealing lighthearted kisses whenever she thought no one was watching.

A faint smile unknowingly appeared on his lips as he looked at Zhou Hanyue, who was sleeping, with her head resting on his shoulder.

Yesterday and today, spending time with his wives has really calmed his heart…

The weight he has been carrying for months eased a lot.

Maybe it was actually the hope that he can save Yao Jing, soothing his heart.

At this time, Lan Shuqin walked there and saw Zhou Hanyue sleeping against his shoulder.

She couldn’t help but chuckle and asked “Seems like Lady Hanyue fell asleep.”

Zhao Tian nodded, his hand gently adjusting Zhou Hanyue’s hair so it wouldn’t fall over her face. “Yeah… she was quite energetic today.”

He patted the empty space beside him. “Come, sit.”

With a smile, she came and sat beside him on the wooden bench.

“How are you doing, Master Tian… I think it’s been two weeks since I last met you.”

Looking at her, his gaze softened “I am doing good. How about you?”

She moved a little closer to him and mutered “I’ve been doing great too. Serving Lady Hanyue, as always…”

She paused, her lips curving slightly. “Though, now that she’s more energetic and takes care of things herself, my workload has lightened significantly.”

“And to spend my free time, I am now working at a small restaurant in the capital

Zhao Tian was surprised to hear this and muttered “That’s great…”

Smiling, she replied “Mhm… I am enjoying it a lot.”

“And tonight there is a local celebration for a marriage. I wanted to attend that…”

“So, I came to check in on Lady Hanyue before leaving and now she is sleeping.”

Hearing this, an idea appeared in Zhao Tian’s mind and he asked “How about I come with you?”

Eh? Lan Shuqin was dumbfounded to hear this “You? In that place?”

Zhao Tian shrugged lightly “Why not?”

Lan Shuqin hesitated for a moment before looking at Zhou Hanyue “But lady Hanyue…”

Looking at her, he replied “We can make her sleep in her room… and we can go there.”

“It’s been a while since we last spent time together.”

Lan Shuqin’s eyes trembled slightly and a faint blush dusted her cheeks as she caressed the ring on her finger…

“Mhm.”

With care, Zhao Tian shifted Zhou Hanyue into his arms and carried her back to her chambers.

The moment he placed her on the bed and tucked her in, she let out a small sigh, shifting slightly before settling into peaceful slumber once more.

He watched her for a moment before turning away.

By the time he returned, Lan Shuqin was waiting for him at the pavilion, looking slightly flustered.

“Let’s go,” he muttered, offering his arm.

Lan Shuqin hesitated briefly before slipping her arm through his, a soft smile gracing her lips. “Alright.”

Together, they left the palace grounds, heading toward the lively streets of the capital, where the night was just beginning to stir with celebration.
