Quick Wear: The Wronged One Becomes Rebellious

Chapter 358 Princess's Skirt 04

The carriage traveled westward along the official road for a day. In the evening, it passed through the small town of Anling. Shen Qingzhou asked his followers to find the cleanest-looking inn in the town and stay there.

"Princess, watch your step!" Shen Qingzhou stood beside the carriage and helped Gu Li out of the carriage. "Are you tired? I'll ask the waiter to bring some hot water to your room to help you take a bath and relieve your fatigue."

"Not tired." Gu Li said she wasn't tired, but her delicate body showed her fatigue. She dragged her stiff legs and followed Shen Qingzhou into the inn and went up to the second floor.

The second floor had been cleared by the guards. There was no one else except the princess's men. Shen Qingzhou picked up Gu Li and kicked open the room, sending her to the bed.

The bed had been replaced by Gu Li's personal maid Caiyi with the brocade bedding she had brought.

"Princess, are you hungry? Do you want to eat something first?"

Shen Qingzhou sat on the edge of the bed and put Gu Li's feet on his legs. He massaged Gu Li with both hands to relieve the discomfort of staying in the carriage for a whole day.

Gu Li closed her eyes and enjoyed the massage with just the right amount of force. She hummed and said, "Just call me Gu Li outside."

The nickname "Gu Li" was only used by the emperor, the empress, and her several close brothers.

Of course Shen Qingzhou also knew that the nickname he called the princess the most on the bed was this.

"Okay." Shen Qingzhou grinned, "Do you want to eat anything, Gu Lier? I'll tell someone to make it for you!"

He felt sorry for Gu Li'er because he hadn't eaten properly after a whole day of traveling, and he looked listless and had no energy.

It's all about eating fresh cherries.

Shen Qingzhou secretly made up his mind that he must bring back one or two cherry trees and plant them in the yard this time. When the cherries are ripe, he can pick them and eat them at home.

Gu Li stood up and lay on Shen Qingzhou's back, avoiding Shen Qingzhou's gaze, and said softly: "I have no appetite, I just want Xizhou to stay with me."

Xizhou is Shen Qingzhou's pen name.

This was the first time that Gu Li called his name so intimately.

Shen Qingzhou's pressure suddenly increased, causing Gu Li to let out a low cry. Shen Qingzhou's ears felt hot, and his breathing became heavier.

Gu Li's legs were held in Shen Qingzhou's arms, and her whole body was lying on Shen Qingzhou's shoulder.

She was like a dodder wrapped around Shen Qingzhou.

Her soft curves were wrapped around his straight and strong waist.

"Don't bother me, Gu Li'er. I want you to have a good rest tonight. We have to travel tomorrow." Shen Qingzhou put his hands under Gu Li's armpits, lifted her up and put her on his lap. One hand gently stroked Gu Li's back, as if this would make him feel better.

At this moment, one or two short but loud animal calls were heard outside the window.

"Hey, what animal is that sound?"

Shen Qingzhou paused in his soothing gesture, and soon returned to normal: "It's okay. This town is close to the Qiyun Mountains. It's not surprising to see birds flying over occasionally. With me here, Gu Lier won't be afraid."

Of course Gu Li was not afraid, she just felt like she seemed to have heard the cry of that animal somewhere before.

Looks like an eagle.

Seeing that the princess did not ask any more questions, Shen Qingzhou put her on the bed, stood up and said, "I'll go out and see if the hot water is ready. Gu Li'er is waiting for me in the room!"

"it is good."

After Shen Qingzhou left the room and closed the door, Gu Li reached out and started rubbing her butt that was almost broken into pieces.

This physical fitness is really not good.

Shen Qingzhou had not returned until Caiyi led people to carry two buckets of hot water into the bathroom next door and urged Gu Li to take a bath.

"Where is the prince consort?"

Caiyi held the princess's clean dress and replied, "I didn't see the prince consort!"

"Didn't he go downstairs to get some hot water?"

Caiyi shook her head and said, "I have been in the kitchen in the backyard and didn't see the Prince Consort coming."

Gu Li immediately got off the bed, kicked off her shoes and walked out.

The corridor outside was empty, and the guards disguised as servants were all guarding the first floor. Gu Li rushed downstairs and asked the chief guard, "Have you seen the prince consort?"

The chief guard bowed and said, "Princess, the prince consort just left!"

He clearly said he was coming down to get hot water, how could he just leave without saying anything?

Gu Li vaguely felt that something was wrong.

"Hurry out and find the prince consort, quickly, once----" Gu Li ordered in a deep voice, but before he could finish his words, a male voice sounded from the door.

"Your Highness the Princess, what is the matter that makes you so anxious to see me?" Shen Qingzhou asked puzzledly while standing outside the door.

Gu Li rushed to him, holding up her skirt, "Where have you been? Why didn't you tell me you were going out?"

She didn't notice Shen Qingzhou's address to her. Even on the night of their wedding, he didn't call her "Princess" so carefully.

Shen Qingzhou did not answer, but asked Gu Li: "Your Highness Princess is so anxious, what happened?"

Gu Li's eyelashes trembled slightly, she suppressed her chaotic heartbeat, loosened her skirt, and smiled. "It's okay, I suddenly lost my husband outside, and I was a little scared."

Perhaps it was because of the word "husband" that Shen Qingzhou's expression relaxed a little. He lowered his eyes, less gentle than usual, and sighed softly, "I'll take the princess back to her room."

Shen Qingzhou supported Gu Li and walked upstairs.

"Where did you go just now? It's dark outside."

Shen Qingzhou didn't look up, looking at the pearls on the princess' embroidered shoes looming between her skirt, "Princess, why did you come down without even putting on your shoes? Be careful with your steps."

"I'm looking for you!" Gu Li complained, "Where did you go?"

Shen Qingzhou sighed again, took out an oil-paper bag from his arms, and said, "When I went downstairs to check the hot water, I heard the waiter in the kitchen say that the sesame cakes across the street are a specialty snack in their town, so I thought of buying some for you to try!"

Gu Li took a look at the oil-stained oil paper bag and lost her appetite. She smiled and said, "So that's how it is. Thank you, Xizhou!"

Shen Qingzhou sent Gu Li to the bathroom. He did not make trouble like the princess as usual, but went back to the bedroom in an orderly manner.

"Why are you still sitting there in a daze? It's time for you to go wash!" Gu Li walked into the bedroom with half-dry hair. Shen Qingzhou seemed not to notice and was still sitting at the table in a daze.

His profile looked somewhat cold and serious in the dim room.

"Why don't you light a few more oil lamps!" Gu Li said, motioning Caiyi who was following behind her to find a fire starter to light the candlesticks on the table.

Shen Qingzhou was even faster. He took out a lighter from his sleeve and lit the oil lamp on the table.

"I was just thinking about something and forgot about it for a moment." Shen Qingzhou did not go to greet the princess, but took a fire starter to light incense in the silk incense burner they brought.

"What are you thinking about? You're so engrossed!" Gu Li asked casually.

"I miss you!" Shen Qingzhou answered even more casually.

Seeing this, Caiyi lowered her head and quietly retreated, and helped her master close the door.

The relationship between the prince consort and the princess is really good.
