Married To The Cruel Crown Prince

Bai Yaling got ready and waited for Wang Hao in the room. The servants had cleaned the room when Lady Dai came to her.

"Lady Bai, General Wang has to leave urgently to the Palace," she informed Bai Yaling, who wondered why Wang Hao left without informing her.

She stood up and told Lady Dai that she wanted to greet Wang Hao's father. Lady Dai, who was also new in the residence, asked one of the servants to help them go to Wang Fuxing's room.

However, Bai Yaling interrupted them.

"Lady Dai, I will go to the kitchen first. I want to serve the tea to my Father-in-law," Bai Yaling expressed her desire.

The servant told them that she would show the kitchen to them and they left with her. In the kitchen, the chef greeted Bai Yaling.

"I want to prepare the tea for Father-in-law," Bai Yaling said humbly. "It is my first day in the house, so I must do this," she stated.

"Sure, Lady Bai," the chef showed her the way to the kitchen when Huo Jin saw her. He put the porcelain water jar on the table and walked to her.

"Good Morning, Sister Bai Yaling." His hands were joined and rested near his belly. "Does Sister Bai want something? She should be in her room," he said with a concerned expression.

"Brother Huo, good morning. Thank you for your kind concern. I want to make tea for my Father-in-law since it is my first day," Bai Yaling stated.

"Oh. But General Wang told me not to let his wife work," Huo Jin replied to her. Bai Yaling smiled upon learning the concern of Wang Hao towards her.

"But making tea for the elders is important for the daughter-in-law," she opined.

Huo Jin did not stop her and told her to be careful. Lady Dai was from the Palace, so he did not have to worry much. Bai Yaling stepped inside the kitchen and the servants stopped working. They greeted her in unison.

She prepared the tea for Wang Fuxing, Huo Jin, and Yin Na. She could not neglect the other members of the family and decided to have morning tea together as it used to be in her home.

However, after coming to the Palace, everyone used to drink and eat separately. Since it was the rule that the eldest of the house could not eat or drink with the youngest except on some special occasions.

Huo Jin stayed in the kitchen until Bai Yaling finished making the tea. She wanted to prepare the morning breakfast, so told the chef to wait for her.

Lady Dai carried the tray which had a teapot and four cups on it. They left for Wang Fuxing's room while Huo Jin told a servant to bring Yin Na to that room.

Wang Fuxing, who was reading a literary book, was informed about Bai Yaling's presence. He put the book down on the table when Bai Yaling entered, followed by Lady Dai, Huo Jin, and Yin Na.

Yin Na was panting because she ran to reach on time. They all greeted Wang Fuxing, who was astonished to see them in the early morning.

Bai Yaling bowed before Wang Fuxing and then lifted her head. "Father-in-law, I prepared tea for us. I hope you will like it," she said and tilted her head to look at Lady Dai, who came forward.

"Of course, I will like it," Wang Fuxing said gladly.

"Sister Yin Na, Brother Huo Jin, please take your respective seats," Bai Yaling urged them. They both took seats while Bai Yaling served the tea to them.

Wang Fuxing inhaled the scent of the tea and then took a sip. He felt rejuvenated in the early morning and praised Bai Yaling for her tea-making skills.

"Please take the seat," he told her and Bai Yaling sat down on the floor cushion. Lady Dai gave her a teacup and she also started to drink the tea.

Wang Fuxing's eyes filled with tears as he recalled the old days when his wife used to make the tea and they all gathered in the morning.

"I am glad that you grab the hand of my son," Wang Fuxing said and put the teacup on the table. They all gazed at him.

"Wang Hao's decision to marry you is the best decision of his life. This tea reminds me of my late wife. We used to gather in the morning for tea. However, after she passed away, we never gathered together like today," Wang Fuxing said and wiped the edges of his eyes as he had turned emotional.

"I am also thankful to all of you for including me in your family," Bai Yaling said and passed a tiny smile to Wang Fuxing.

"I will become an aunt soon, Father will be grandfather," Yin Na said in the middle.

Wang Fuxing nodded his head. "We all are ready to welcome the heir of the Wang Family," he stated.

Bai Yaling was dazed to hear it. They all had already accepted her child with Yongzheng as Wang Family's heir. She thanked time and again herself to the Empress for pushing her forward for another marriage.

After the tea session ended, Wang Fuxing gave his blessings to Bai Yaling. He told her to go to her room and eat her breakfast. She nodded and left with Lady Dai.

Yin Na looked at her father, who could not stop himself from praising Bai Yaling. She agreed with his words when Wang Fuxing reminded her about her meeting with Xu Wenhai.

"Yes, Father. I will leave after eating my breakfast," she replied.

"Huo Jin, you go with her and bring her later in the evening," Wang Fuxing commanded Huo Jin.

"Father, my presence is needed in the Residence. I will come back after dropping her to Xu Residence," Huo Jin affirmed.

They stood up, bowed, and then walked out.

"I can go alone if you do not want to drop me to the Xu Residence," Yin Na told him.

"It's fine. The Xu Residence isn't far from here," he asserted.

"Get ready. I will be waiting outside the Residence." He left, leaving Yin Na in confusion.
