Chapter 948 Preference and Exceptions
When the couple met, Shi Li couldn't control her emotions and threw herself into Cheng Xi's arms.
This was the first time she was so bold and even overstepped the boundaries. Cheng Xi was stunned at first, then his nervous expression turned gentle and he held his wife's waist with one hand.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" He still wanted to know the reason why Shi Li invited Doctor Xu to come into the house.
Shi Li's head was originally resting against his collar. Hearing this, she couldn't help but take a deep breath, raised her head and complained dissatisfiedly: "You said you had nothing to hide from me, but you didn't tell me that I was sick."
Speaking frankly has always been Shi Li's way of survival.
Whether in reality or watching various film and television works, 99% of the problems come from misunderstandings, so the best way to resolve conflicts and misunderstandings is effective communication.
Cheng Xi can do so much for her, so what's wrong with her speaking frankly?
[Me, me, me! I love the anchor's talkative personality. The anchor wants me to marry him~]
[I thought these two would always have a crush on each other and treat each other with respect? ]
[The host is so cool, I love it! ]
Looking at Man Gongping's bold proposal, Shi Li was stunned for a moment, vaguely feeling that something was missing, but then she remembered it and looked at Cheng Xi more intently.
For the first time, the man who was always decisive and ruthless outside was at a loss for words. He opened his mouth to explain, but didn't know where to start.
After a long silence, the arm that was holding Shi Li's waist exerted a little force, and Cheng Xi's voice, slightly lower than usual but still clear, came into his ears.
"Lili, I want to grow old with you."
This is probably the most straightforward love words that this ancient man could say.
Shi Li felt a slight sourness in her heart. She raised two fingers and gently stroked his cheek, tracing his eyebrows and eyes, and finally touching the corners of his eyes.
"I will grow old with Ah Xi, whether in the palace or in the future... ruling the world."
Shi Li spoke the last four words very softly, but Cheng Xi still heard them.
After the surprise, I was deeply moved.
His wife knew his ambitions and aspirations without him having to tell her.
Feeling the wetness on her fingertips, Shi Li widened her eyes in surprise, as if it was an illusion for a moment.
Who would have thought that Cheng Xi, a wise ruler, was actually a little crybaby in private?
Of course, Shi Li didn't have much time to dwell on this matter. In order to hide his emotions, Cheng Xi finally did what a husband should do.
Before, he was concerned about Shi Li's young age and frailty, so he didn't dare to get too close to her.
The wife is not young anymore now, and today the couple expressed their love to each other, and everything fell into place naturally.
As for the promise to bring Shi Li to meet the "assistant", that can only be postponed...
【…】
[Very good, this light is not unexpected at all. ]
[Humph! Cheng Xi is blind, Gongsun is no match for Princess Jing! ]
The public screen is still the same, everyone is fighting on their own and arguing with each other, which gives them a little happiness when the screen is black and boring.
A day later, Shi Li finally met the "assistant" that Cheng Xi had mentioned to her.
"Your servant Wei greets the princess."
The young woman, exuding a mature and dignified charm, held the hand of a child and walked respectfully in front of Shi Li.
Shi Li: ...
Unexpectedly, the person Cheng Xi found was also a "historical celebrity".
Wei, the first noble concubine of the Li Dynasty, was deeply loved by Emperor Ji. Not only did she enter the palace as a concubine as a remarried woman, but even her children born to her ex-husband were arranged with a good future by Emperor Ji.
This is recorded in many historical books. Concubine Wei was also a legendary woman. Her unconventional background and the power to assist in managing the harem were considered by many to be a manifestation of her being deeply favored by Emperor Ji.
"Lili, let her help with the small matters in the mansion from now on."
Cheng Xi stood beside Shi Li, holding her hand and said softly, "But for the big things, you still have to take care of them."
Cheng Xi had been looking for a candidate before. Shi Li had a heart attack and could not easily work hard, but someone had to take care of various matters in the mansion.
Not long ago, he finally found Wei, promised her wealth and glory and a bright future for her son, and had someone teach her a lesson before bringing her to Shi Li.
