Chapter 36: The Cold and Arrogant Master is Actually a Great Enemy
The next day, the weather was warm, which is rare in winter.
Early in the morning, bright sunlight shone into the Yuli Palace, spreading warmly on the ground.
Shi Li sat listlessly in front of the dressing table, yawning as she looked at herself in the mirror.
With a pale face and dark circles under his eyes, he looks a bit like a national treasure.
After a while, he sighed helplessly.
Sigh... I didn’t sleep well last night. There was always someone wandering around in my head, it was so annoying.
Shi Li knew that the comments in the live broadcast room must be making fun of her, so she refused to even look at them, trying to pretend that she didn't see it.
It happened that Qi Fang also stayed in Qi Mansion today and did not enter the palace. Shi Li thought that if it really didn't work out, he would just eat something and then go back to take a nap.
Otherwise it would be too uncomfortable!
[Hehe, you sound like you can fall asleep right now.]
But when he looked up, he accidentally saw a comment, and Shi Li snorted, "Bad luck."
[Ahhh! This woman is so proud! She dares to scold us just because she has the Grand Master's support!]
[Upstairs, don't take us with you, just you. ]
[My heart is as calm as still water, I just want to eat candy\u003d \u003d]
However, Shi Li finished his breakfast in a hurry, and the time was exactly the same as the end of the morning court.
Just as she put down her ivory jade chopsticks, she saw Yueying walk in from outside. She approached her and said softly, "Lord Shao is outside asking to see the princess."
Shi Li suddenly grabbed the hem of her skirt with one hand, and the precious fabric instantly wrinkled.
While I kept telling myself that I should stay calm at this moment, I couldn't help my heart beating faster and my cheeks turned red.
"I...I'll go ask him what's the matter." Shi Li stood up and muttered awkwardly, and was about to walk out.
When she was about to walk out, she suddenly thought of something, and hurried to the dressing table, opened the drawer, took out something and hid it in her wide sleeves.
Then, she took another deep breath, held up her skirt with one hand and walked out.
Yueying was watching her back with a relieved and gentle expression, just like an old mother watching her daughter find her ideal husband.
Outside the Yuli Palace, there is a grove of banyan trees that are very beautiful in summer.
Unfortunately, in this season, all the leaves have fallen, leaving only the bare trunks.
The tall and graceful figure of the person standing under the tree was more beautiful than any other scenery. Shi Li couldn't take his eyes off her after just one look.
But his steps were getting slower and slower, as if he was getting homesick.
Shao Quan stood under the tree with his hands behind his back, waiting for her to come over.
What Shi Li didn't know was that Shao Quan had already slowed down his breathing for fear of scaring her.
Realizing their feelings for the first time, the two elementary school kids cautiously tried to get closer to each other.
No matter how long the road is, it will eventually end.
Shi Li finally walked in front of Shao Quan and looked at him with her head held high, "Master Shao."
"Princess." Shao Quan had his hands behind his back, and he clenched and unclenched them as she approached. Now they were clenched tightly together, and the blue veins on the back of his hands spread all the way to his arms covered by his sleeves.
If there hadn't been a gust of slightly cold north wind blowing past, the two people, after calling each other names, would have remained silent for who knows how long.
Shi Li shrank a little because of the wind, and Shao Quan frowned immediately.
"I would like to marry the princess. I wonder if you are willing?" He had been brewing these words for a day and a night. Because he was worried that Shi Li would catch a cold, he spoke them surprisingly fluently.
But after he finished speaking, Shao Quan's ears started burning and the fire spread all the way to his neck.
As to whether it will continue, we don't know.
I hope that one day, Shi Li can find the answer.
Hearing such straightforward words of proposal, even though Shi Li was a modern person at heart, she couldn't help feeling shy, and her eyelashes fluttered like trembling butterfly wings.
Shao Quan was filled with sympathy and didn't care that his whole body was about to burn. He suddenly took a step back and knelt on one knee on the cold ground.
"Princess." He raised his head and looked at the girl in front of him. His voice was gentle and firm, like the embracing deep sea. "I am very pleased with you, Princess. I wish to grow old with you."
Shi Li couldn't refuse such sincere love.
At this moment, Shi Li no longer remembered the gap in time and space, or the severing of ties.
Her choice is what her heart desires.
"Okay, let's grow old together." Although Shi Li's face was red, she couldn't help but smile. She stretched out a hand in front of Shao Quan, trying to pull him up.
Shao Quan looked at her smile and couldn't help the throbbing in his heart. He held her hand restrainedly but lovingly.
After standing up, the two looked at each other.
A little shy, but more of sweetness and affection.
"By the way, I have something to give you." Shi Li suddenly remembered that he had something hidden in his sleeves and wanted to offer his treasure.
But when she saw Shao Quan's pair of eyes that were so beautiful that they made her lose her mind, she was too embarrassed to take it out, and said coquettishly, "Close your eyes and don't look around."
The Grand Tutor was very obedient and closed his eyes.
Then, the girl's sweet voice was heard saying, "Put out your hand."
Temporarily deprived of his vision, his hearing became more acute. Shao Quan's Adam's apple, which was wrapped by his collar, rolled subconsciously, and he stretched out his hands hesitantly.
The next moment, his palm sank.
Shi Li also didn't expect that Shao Quan, as a lover, would be so docile and obedient.
She put the inkstone in his hand, and before she spoke, Shao Quan still didn't open his eyes.
Shi Li looked up at Shao Quan who had his eyes closed. The bright sunlight shone on his smooth and delicate jaw, like the finest warm jade.
It makes people think wildly.
Shi Li held her breath and slowly moved forward.
Before I could figure out what I wanted to do, a loud voice suddenly sounded not far away.
"An An!"
The next second, Shao Quan felt the girl's sweet breath suddenly fade away.
He felt a little disappointed, but at the same time, the gentlemanly principles he had learned and upheld for more than 20 years were spurring him to do something that was not in accordance with etiquette.
But no matter whether it fits or not, it's impossible to continue.
Xiao Jin walked over angrily, his eyes looking as if he wanted to tear Shao Quan into pieces.
When he got closer, he saw the black inkstone in Shao Quan's hand, and his heart suddenly felt so sour as if he had drunk several jars of vinegar.
He was wondering before, why An An, who didn't like writing, loved inkstone so much, it turned out to be like this!
"Royal brother, why are you here?" Shi Li also didn't expect Xiao Jin to suddenly appear, and stood there awkwardly, at a loss as to what to do.
Xiao Jin could hear her trepidation, so he could only suppress his anger, put on a fake smile, and patiently answered: "I have read the memorial and found a difficult matter that I need to discuss with Lord Shao."
"In that case, don't delay our business." Shi Li naively believed it and urged them to leave.
Shao Quan: ...
He didn't believe a word of it.
Xiao Jin: I’m so happy that An An still cares about me!
If Yueying were here, she would definitely tell him gently that the princess was just worried about delaying state affairs.
