Chapter 47: The Cold and Arrogant Master is Actually a Great Enemy
Shi Li claims that he is not a smart person, but he is definitely a clear-headed person.
There was no need to try to be brave and get involved in this kind of thing, but to listen to Yueying and stay in your own Yuli Palace.
Although he believed in the abilities of Xiao Jin and Shao Quan, it was impossible not to worry when someone close to him took risks.
Shi Li was holding a teacup, and her fingers unconsciously exerted force, leaving deep red marks on her fingertips.
"Princess, the Qi family is already at the end of its strength." Yueying knew that she was worried, so she stood beside her and spoke to her slowly.
"Qi Lie was ambitious before. He recruited soldiers and bought horses from all over the place and privately stored a lot of weapons and food. In the past few years, they were discovered one by one by Lord Shao, and he has been seriously injured. Today, it is impossible for him to achieve anything with the thousands of troops hidden in Shengdu."
As a result, Shi Li took a deep breath and her voice changed, "Thousands of troops?"
She thought that the Qi family had only a few hundred people in Shengdu at most.
Yueying choked.
It turns out that she said something wrong again, oh...
Fortunately, the anxious moment did not last too long, as the one who came to inform them was the increasingly mature and steady Shanyi.
He was wearing silver armor and looked very heroic. When he walked in, there was a trace of blood on his face.
"Don't worry, sister, I'm not hurt." He knew Yueying would be worried about him, so he hurriedly explained.
Then, he knelt down in front of Shi Li again, bowed his head respectfully and said, "Princess, don't worry, the matter outside has been resolved. Shanyi, congratulations to your highness on your great happiness."
Being congratulated on her marriage by a boy younger than her, Shi Li felt a little embarrassed. She raised her hand to let him stand up and asked curiously, "Is it really over?"
"Yes, all members of the Qi family have been detained in the Heavenly Prison. His Majesty said that the princess is very happy today, so they should not be touched for the time being." Shanyi answered honestly.
Although he had never told Shi Li about it, he still felt guilty about mistaking the princess, so he worked extra hard to suppress the rebellion just now, hoping to restore peace to the princess on her big day.
He didn't know if it was his illusion or for some other reason, but Lord Shao seemed to look at him several more times.
The inexperienced Shanyi doesn't know yet that he has already registered with the wise and cunning Lord Shao.
"I'm glad you're okay." Shi Li was finally relieved and subconsciously raised her hand to pat Shanyi's shoulder.
There is no other meaning in doing this action, it's just like encouraging a younger brother who did well in the exam.
But who could have imagined that as soon as she raised her hand, she felt a burning gaze coming from outside the door, nailing her hand in mid-air.
Shi Li turned her head and looked over. Who else could the man in red clothes with a stern face be but Shao Quan?
"How did you come?"
It was just past noon now, and the groom should have been waiting for the bride at dusk. Shi Li was extremely surprised.
Because he saw Shi Li trying to pat Shan Yi's shoulder just now, Shao Quan didn't smile at all. When he walked over and heard her ask this, his face was so cold that it seemed like ice was falling off.
"Princess, don't you want to see me?"
Shi Li didn't know that Xiao Jin once thought of letting Shan Yi become her consort.
So he never thought that Shao Quan would mind such a thing, and looked at him in confusion.
"But the time has not come yet."
The two newlyweds in red just looked at each other.
It was Yueying who realized the secret. She reached out to help her brother and called all the palace people around to leave.
Lord Shao is here now, and there is no point in arguing about what is against etiquette. Let them solve any problems themselves.
Everybody moved very quickly.
Soon there were only two people left.
Looking at Shi Li's bright and beautiful face, the jealousy in Shao Quan's heart slowly subsided.
After all, the girl in front of him was wearing a red dress for him and was about to marry him.
Shao Quan's gaze unconsciously wandered to Shi Li's lips. He suddenly remembered the inappropriate dream he had once had, and his face suddenly turned red.
"My humble servant is rude!"
The groom came and went in a hurry, and his bright red clothes created small waves in the air.
Shi Li became more and more confused.
Later, Yueying quietly told her the truth.
"So, Shao Quan was jealous just now?" Shi Li couldn't believe her ears.
But thinking back to Shao Quan's reaction just now, it seemed to be true.
This... isn't the Grand Tutor so cute?
Shi Li pursed her lips, almost unable to suppress her smile.
The ups and downs of the day were finally coming to an end, and as dusk fell, the princess got married.
Xiao Jin arrived at Yuli Palace before the auspicious time, looked at Shi Li with emotion, and prepared to send her to the wedding sedan personally.
"No matter where An An is, you should be happy. No matter what happens, you can come to your brother."
It was only a few steps from the palace to the wedding sedan at the door, and Xiao Jin kept chattering in a hoarse voice all the way.
Shi Li's heart also felt sore and she answered "yes" when she heard a word.
To her, Xiao Jin was no different from a real brother.
Originally, the wedding was supposed to be held in the newly built princess mansion, but Shi Li thought the Shao Mansion was also great, so she simply didn't make a big fuss and sent her directly to the Shao Mansion in the wedding sedan.
During the day, everything that should be lively has already been lively.
Now, only a few of the closest people are in the Shao Mansion.
Everyone stood at the gate of the mansion with smiles on their faces, watching the wedding sedan arrive, and saying auspicious words when Shi Li got out of the sedan.
Even though Shao Jing was a person who loved to joke, he was smiling at this moment and said only nice things.
When they arrived at the new house, all these people dispersed.
Leave the important wedding night to the newlyweds.
Shi Li sat on the edge of the red bed, her hands folded on her knees, and she became nervous and worried again.
This kind of worry and tension is different from that during the day, it is a completely different emotion.
In fact, Shao Quan’s current mood is no different from hers.
He first took off the heavy phoenix crown on Shi Li's head and placed it aside, then turned around and squatted in front of her.
Shi Li looked at him puzzledly.
Meeting her gaze, Shao Quan took out a pair of delicate scissors and cut a strand of his hair first.
Married as husband and wife, they love each other without a doubt.
Without saying anything, Shi Li understood what he meant. She snatched the scissors from his hand and neatly cut off a strand of her hair.
Her movements were so fast that Shao Quan didn't have time to react.
When he saw her cut her hair, he couldn't help but smile. He took out a box and carefully put the cut hair of both of them in it.
After finishing this task, Shao Quan returned to Shi Li and sat beside her on the edge of the bed.
Then, he took Shi Li's hand.
His eyes were deep, his voice was low and dark, and he stared at Shi Li's face intently, "Princess, please grow up to twenty years old quickly."
Shi Li's heart beat faster and faster. Hearing these words, she couldn't help but look at him in confusion.
Shao Quan held her face, restrainedly kissed the corner of her mouth, and whispered, "I've heard people say before that girls are too fragile before the age of 20. I'll wait until the princess is a little older."
Shi Li stared at him blankly, her heart shrinking into a ball.
At this moment, I could feel his love and care more clearly.
"Husband." She changed the words naturally, gave up her shyness and reached out to hug him.
His wife took the initiative to throw herself into his arms, and Shao Quan gladly accepted.
However, thinking that she was only seventeen years old now, Shao Quan could only smile bitterly.
He still has to wait and endure...
