LEGEND OF THE GOLDEN TIGRESS 451 Xinxin Loves Mother

Spring pa.s.sed and the hot summer fastly approached. This year they had conducted the court exams pretty early and so the season of new beginnings pa.s.sed uneventfully with the new officials training in the Court.

Little Xinxin's first birthday approached as he was born early summer. And also it was the first death anniversary of Tians.h.i.+ Emperor.

Xing fanning herself was swaying in the swing Chenglei brought from the Light Wind Courtyard. She had prepared a Memorial Tablet for the greatest Emperor in their kingdom with her own hands. That's the least she could do for him after she killed him herself and she knew he'd appreciate it too.

Xing had already buried his ashes in Empress Shu's grave and she was surprised to see the grave being left unsealed for this long. She had already sealed the grave after doing the proper funeral ceremony for her Master Yuan.

But they really cannot suddenly announce the death anniversary of an Emperor who was supposed to be dead two centuries back and so they have planned to celebrate it privately placing the memorial tablet with the other tablets of other Emperors of their kingdom.

But by celebrating the death anniversary of Tsins.h.i.+ Emperor, they should not avoid celebrating Little Xinxin's first birthday too. One generation is always replaced by another and life should be celebrated.

Xiao Mei has just gave birth to a girl and was forced to rest for a couple of months before serving Xing again. Xiao Mei wasn't pleased to let another maid serve her mistress but still she had to do what her mistress asked of her.

Little Xinxin who didn't even sit properly for eight months has started to crawl and even started to walk holding something in the past three months. He really liked to wander around by himself and didn't like to be carried anymore.

Xing smiled, waving her hand at little Xinxin who walked for sometime holding the table and taking a look at her. He liked to do search for her each time he did something. His eyes were s.h.i.+mmering with pride that he is showing his mother his achievement of walking. He'd walk around but he always wanted Xing at his eyesight. He never left her view.

Chenglei entered the room and with a smile in his face, kissed Xing first before searching for Little Xinxin. Upon seeing his father, little Xinxin got under the table and crawled deep inside to avoid him.

Father always carried him but he didn't want to be carried since he's a big boy now.

It suddenly started to shower right then, something that was common during summer.

"Good..You just missed the rain" ,Xing got up and poured some tea for her husband while Chenglei was bending under the table and his long arms easily got Little Xinxin hiding under.

"Come kiss your father", Chenglei picked Little Xinxin up and he tried to get out his father's hold but sensing he couldn't escape his father's strong arms, gave up and kissed his father in the cheek.

"Dada... Doowoon", he spoke in his childish language pointing his finger at the floor trying to tell his father to get him down. But his poor father who is slow in the mind, unable to understand him placed him on his lap with his bear grip and started drinking the tea his mother poured.

Little Xinxin didn't want to sit... He wanted to explore... His slow father cannot understand Little Xinxin. But mother does. Mother is smart!

"Mama...", he waved his little chubby hand at Xing and Xing picked him up from Chenglei who was unwilling to pa.s.s on the baby to her.

"Mama... Loobe", little Xinxin expressed his love for his mother in the language he knew and kissed her.

Xing lifted him holding him in his armpits and touched his nose with hers.

"Oooh, Little Xinxin. Mother loves you too", she kissed his forehead and pressed her face on his chest and rubbed her face. That always made him giggle.

"Who is happy? Who is happy? Little Xinxin's happy", Xing cooed the baby and after playing with his mother for sometime, he tried to get down and Xing let him down.

The moment Xing let Xinxin down, she felt a pull by her neck and she felt a warm sensation in her mouth that filled her mouth with blossom scent.

" Of course I'm the one who loves you the most. Never forget it, Xing "

The domineering voice of the man who gets jealous of a child made Xing laugh.

"You make me wonder who is the child among you two", she chuckled.

"Of course, I am the child!", Chenglei leaned on her shoulder, "Mother, help me bathe...", he scratched her arms with his finger while speaking like a child.

"Get lost!", Xing pushed him away and he sat up straight chuckling.

"Here", Chenglei pa.s.sed a letter to Xing and reading it, her face changed.

"What do you say?", he asked his expression sombre.

How will she decide?

"Arrange a meeting with the Water Emperor. We are leaving with Little Xinxin", she said, her voice choking, swallowing her sorrow but her eyes were determined.
