Chapter 245: The Merchant’s Daughter Wants to Marry the General 42 (End)
Xie Rong immediately stood up from his chair and saluted the prince. Li Xuanzhi didn't even look at him and ran past him quickly.
Xie Rong knew that the prince was angry.
He glanced at Shen Guli apologetically, but just as she was about to stand up slowly, the prince pressed her shoulders and made her sit back down.
Li Xuanzhi sat next to Shen Guli and looked at Xie Rong with an ambiguous look, "General Xie, why are you looking for the county lady so late at night?"
Xie Rong opened his mouth again without saying anything, but Miss Shen saw Xie Rong's embarrassment and handed Li Xuanzhi a cup of tea, saying, "I came back at night and happened to meet General Xie, so I bothered General Xie to send me back. I'm inviting General Xie to come into the mansion for a cup of tea."
Li Xuanzhi did not take the tea from Shen Guli. He stared at Xie Rong with his deep and bottomless eyes, and said calmly, "Is that so, General Xie?"
Xie Rong couldn't lie in front of Li Xuanzhi. He pursed his lips and stood there with his head down.
Shen Guli forcefully stuffed a piece of cake into Li Xuanzhi's hand, and half of the already crispy peach blossom cake fell off.
Li Xuanzhi turned around, Shen Guli curled her lips and glared at him, which unexpectedly made him slow down his tone, "Then I would like to thank the general for sending my future princess back. I will treat you to a drink some other day!"
Xie Rong said goodbye and left in a hurry.
After watching Xie Rong leave, Li Xuanzhi looked at Shen Guli.
Miss Shen is different today than usual.
She was wearing a long indigo-colored gauze dress of extraordinary workmanship, and her black hair was tied in a single spiral bun. She wore a royal blue hairpin with kingfisher pearls on it, and a pair of phoenix-inlaid kingfisher hairpins decorated with pearls and jade, which sparkled and shimmered, blending with the hairpins and jewellery, and sparkled in the dim moonlight.
The cheeks as red as spring peaches are more alluring than the moonlight.
The silver silk-wrapped double-buckle bracelet was on her hand, and she was waving it in front of him with dissatisfaction. Her charming little face was flushed with a strange red, and her eyes were raised. She looked as dazzling as a fairy in the Moon Palace.
His eyes flashed: "You, have been drinking?"
Li Xuanzhi moved closer and smelled a faint scent of fruit wine on Shen Guli, which was much lighter than the smell of alcohol on him.
The slightly tipsy Shen Guli propped up her head and felt her eyelids were a little heavy, but she was too excited to sleep and wanted to do something else.
She leaned in the chair and glanced at the man approaching her, "Why are you doing this to embarrass General Xie?"
"You didn't go home in the middle of the night, but came to my fiancée's house. Of course I have to ask her something. Is this embarrassing?"
Shen Guli blinked, "You think he wants to steal your fiancée."
Li Xuanzhi didn't say anything.
"That's right. If I miss such an outstanding woman like me, I will never meet her again!" Shen Guli gradually became unable to sit still and her body could not stop sliding down.
Li Xuanzhi waved away the servants in the flower hall and came over to support her, "Yes, I was worried that you would be seduced away by someone!"
Shen Guli burst into laughter.
"So, will you be attracted to others?"
Shen Guli lowered her eyelids and muttered softly, "No, I'll learn from my mistakes. The harem is not my entire life."
Li Xuanzhi thought she meant that the unfortunate experience of Mr. and Mrs. Shen made her have reservations about her future married life. He picked up the sleepy Shen Guli with pity and carried her sideways to the backyard.
"I am not an ordinary person. I will definitely protect you."
Unexpectedly, the person in my arms, who I thought was asleep, suddenly laughed foolishly.
"Why does the prince like me? Maybe I will never be able to produce any astonishing treasures in the future!" Shen Guli said as she poked someone's strong chest with one finger.
As if playing a prank, Lee Hyun-zhi threw the dishonest person in his arms up, scaring Shen Guli so much that she screamed a beat late and clung to Lee Hyun-zhi tightly like an octopus.
"You little drunkard, do you deserve a beating?" Li Xuanzhi even suspected that she said this to him deliberately because of the slight smell of alcohol.
But her confused eyes and abnormal behavior made him uncertain again.
She should be somewhat sober.
"What attracted me at first was indeed Boss Shen's peculiarity, but as a prince of a country, if I really want to get something, I won't trade my position as a princess."
Isn’t it true? If the third prince wants the Shen family’s property, he doesn’t even need to show his face, because his subordinates will help him handle everything.
What's more, she is just an insignificant girl from the Shen family.
Shen Guli licked her dry lips, thinking that the fruit wine in the palace had a strong aftertaste. She barely retained a trace of rationality to prevent herself from falling asleep, "That's right, just like being an emperor, whoever's family is more powerful must favor the concubine of that family. Tsk tsk, living like a young prostitute in Nanfeng Pavilion-----"
After hearing her mumbling, Lee Hyun-ji's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. He took a deep breath and decided not to let her drink anymore.
This little mouth really dares to spit out anything.
He actually dared to complain about the emperor like this. I wonder how many heads the Shen family has that can be chopped off.
However, the truth is there, Lee Hyun-ji secretly complained that his father's life in the harem seemed to be really helpless.
He was glad that he had been away from the center of struggle since he was a child. As a member of the royal family, he did not have to sell his feelings and body to various women for the power in his hands.
"I'm telling you, if you have concubines everywhere and change your mind every day, I will definitely turn around and go find my General Xie and kill him!"
Lee Hyun-ji: -----
Li Xuanzhi wanted to seal her little mouth immediately. Unfortunately, his two hands were not free, so he could only bury his head and use his mouth.
"Mmmmm----" Shen Guli, whose breath was burning, suddenly found it difficult to breathe. She twisted her neck in an attempt to get some fresh air, but a big hand strangled the back of her neck, making her unable to move.
She showed her little fangs and angrily bit the thin lips that were sealing her but not moving, "How annoying!" She only bit a little bit of someone's flesh, and pulled it with a twisted mouth with malicious intent.
Lee Hyun-ji: ----
"Hiss! What a troublesome bad thing." Li Xuanzhi held Shen Guli with one hand, patted her little buttocks lightly, and took bigger steps.
Cherry, who was following behind, only saw the prince in front holding his young lady, running very fast, and whispering something to her with his head down as he ran.
Cherry wanted to step forward to stop them but was dragged away by Wei Wu, who appeared from somewhere and covered her mouth.
Ignoring the pain on his lips, Lee Hyun-ji buried his head again, kissing the person so hard that he gasped and had to let go of the soft flesh on his lips.
You little bastard, you can’t even cure a drunkard!
Shen Guli felt dizzy and her chest was heaving.
Even so, the unyielding gene in her bones still clamors for her to show off her strength.
She smacked her lips and tasted a hint of sweetness, "Not tasty enough!"
Lee Hyun-ji was rarely distracted.
After all, she was still young, and her face still had some baby fat that diluted the color of her bright facial features. Her natural and unadorned beauty was as pure as a newly blooming red crabapple.
While he was in a daze, Shen Guli grabbed his collar and pulled it down hard, "Come again!"
Lee Hyun-ji: -----
He ground his molars and decided to let the little woman in his arms know that a tiger's whiskers cannot be pulled out.
