After my consent he began visiting me more and more,with a gift every time. And while I was strolling after a nice lunch of shrimp dumpling soup and Ma Po Tofu suddenly hands took away my sight and I heard that annoying voice say "Guess who I am?"
   "Hong Lei, you are annoying me."
    "How did you…?"
    "Your ridiculously big hands, horrible breath, weird ideas, and irritating voice was one of the few thing that gave you away." I said he shifted one hand away and grasped one of my hands from the back with my slender finger entwined with his. I never knew how cold his hands felt. He must have been waiting for the right timing for a long time.
  "Don't open your eyes yet." He whispered to my left ear, which had probably turned red with his words as he removed his right hand which covered my face entirely and repositioned on my thin waist despite my protest. We continued walking as we left my residence as I heard the guards shuffling feet trying to be quiet  as they are the only ones besides me at this residence and the creaking of the door. After a few moments we arrived at a beautiful garden. As my eyes finally adjusted to the brightness as I then laid my eyes on a face that would put flowers to shame*.

What was the meaning of this? Is he abandoning me? I could not blame him for the lady before me was so beautiful and that she could provide things I could not. I don't know why but I felt as if my heart was being squeezed by those large and very, very cold hands, almost freezing it which seems to contaminate my whole body as I was paralyzed and could only look  at the handsome face of Hong Lei filled with adoration at the beautiful lady.
   "Mother Consort…" Wait what? How come? She looks so young! "I want to introduce to you my important person." I froze up at this was way to blunt and forward of an introduction. I smiled, he certainly was a special one. The beautiful person gestured us over and greeted me in a shocking soft but undeniably male voice. "Sorry, my voice is scratchy, it's been rather cold recently."
   "It would be favorable to drink chrysanthemum tea with a couple drops of honey to soothe and heal it."
  "Thank you, Di Lian do what he said." He gestured to a maid.
   "Yun Xu…? May we talk alone?" I nodded in response, meeting the in-laws is never easy, and let the interrogation began.

*When you tend to have big hands it means "that" is big too.

*It's a term to describe a beautiful woman stemming from one of China's four great beauties Yang Gui Fei. 貴妃羞花, Gui Fei Xiu His meaning Gui Fei shames flowers. Get it? Orchids is flower? I'm sorry for the puns…
