Chapter 972 Preference and Exceptions
Concubine Wei spoke in detail and Shi Li listened attentively.
She was both surprised and not surprised by Cheng Xi's behavior.
He had long known that Cheng Xi in front of him was different from Cheng Xi in front of outsiders, but everything he did could always stir up waves in Shi Li's heart.
Every time she wondered how he could make her happy, Cheng Xi would always do something that would make her even more excited.
Oh...how can I not like it!
After sending away Concubine Wei who was eager to show her loyalty, Shi Li quietly returned to the Qinzheng Palace.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw Cheng Xi carefully reviewing memorials. His serious expression made people feel daunted.
Shi Li is not the kind of person who would back off.
He first glanced at the memorials that had not yet been approved, confirmed that there were only three or two left, and then tiptoed over.
He walked to Cheng Xi, bent down and whispered "ah" into his ear.
"scared me."
Cheng Xi cooperated very well, pretended to be frightened, then put down the memorial and pulled her to his side.
In fact, how could he not know that someone had come to the palace, but he was just willing to play this little trick with Shi Li.
"I saw your eyebrows were getting tangled, so I came over to comfort you."
Shi Li raised her hand and touched Cheng Xi's brow, looking distressed, "Two more wrinkles, it's obvious that he's older than me."
Only she dared to say such words unscrupulously.
Of course Cheng Xi would not be angry. Instead, he was amused by her and could not help but lower his head to kiss her cheeks and lips. His voice became lazy and affectionate.
"Why, Lili dislikes me for being old?"
This is really a fatal problem!
Shi Li thought for a while, then nodded seriously, "Of course I despise you. If I were older than you, wouldn't you despise me?"
Cheng Xi really laughed out loud this time.
He learned from his wife what it meant to be the host and turn the tables, and after laughing, he continued to kiss her lips.
"In order to avoid being disliked by Lili, I will try not to age so quickly, okay?"
The three words “OK” are so gentle and intoxicating.
Shi Li was accidentally deceived by him, and in a daze, she did something extremely unserious in the serious Qinzheng Hall...
The next day, the wind was calm and the sun was beautiful.
When the new king ascended the throne, he also appointed his first wife, Gongsun, as queen.
The emperor and empress stood side by side and received worship from the world.
The prosperous era of Li Ji recorded in the world officially began at this moment.
When Shi Li was sitting at the head of the court receiving the homage of all the ministers, he spotted a thin civil official at the end.
She didn't know him at first, but when the man raised his head slightly and revealed a pair of cold and lonely eyes, Shi Li suddenly remembered a piece of history she had read before.
Emperor Ji was a wise and honest ruler, and many brilliant and talented people emerged in the court. The most unfortunate one among them was his name was Ji Shan.
He became famous at a young age and had extraordinary insight, but he was too upright and aloof. He would criticize anyone he met in the court, and even Emperor Ji was not spared when he was so sharp-tongued.
Later, he finally angered Emperor Ji and said casually, "You and I are the king and the subject. If the king wants the subject to die, what should I do?"
It was just an angry remark by Emperor Ji, but Ji Shan would directly bang his head against the pillar and really answer Emperor Ji with his life.
Emperor Ji regretted deeply and issued three edicts to blame himself, but he failed to get this talented person back.
When he saw it today, Shi Li immediately matched the person with history.
I have seen many stubborn people, but it is rare to find someone as stubborn as Ji Shan.
Shi Li secretly complained, but also kept it in mind. She decided to keep a closer eye on this person in the future to prevent him from losing his life because of a few angry words.
Ji Shan doesn't care about her own life, but she cares about Cheng Xi's reputation!
The ceremony ended and it was already night.
Shi Li wore several kilograms of jewelry on her head, which kept her demeanor for the whole day. Now she wished she could just twist her head off.
As soon as she returned to the back hall and changed into light clothes, Cheng Xi strode in and took her hand.
"Lili, come with me to a place."
"I'm going to let you go like this?" Shi Li widened his eyes in disbelief and looked down at himself.
Cheng Xi smiled warmly and generously, "It's okay."
Shi Li: ...
Hehehe, this is how we play it, right?
Anyway, if you don’t mind it being embarrassing, then neither do I!
It was rare to see Cheng Xi looking so youthful and arrogant. Shi Li didn't care how ugly she looked with disheveled hair and walked out with him.
As soon as I stepped out of the palace door, I was stunned.
The whole palace was hung with red lanterns, and it was as festive and grand as if it were the Spring Festival.
"Does it look good?"
This was the first time that Cheng Xi took credit from Shi Li in an unsteady manner.
He always remembered that when Prince Yu got married, Shi Li once stopped to look at the red lanterns hanging outside Prince Yu's mansion.
When they got married, the Cheng family was not yet wealthy and could not afford to hang so many red lanterns.
At that time, I thought that Shi Li had been wronged, and I must make it up to her in the future!
Shi Li wanted to say something but stopped.
In fact, she just took a casual glance that day and didn't think too much about it.
but……
Looking at Cheng Xi's handsome eyes and eyebrows that were reflected red by the lanterns, he couldn't help but smile.
"It looks great, I love it!"
But after hearing what she said, Cheng Xi couldn't help but tear up.
