The Promotion Record of A Crown Princess Chapter 22

Being Flexible With Your Husband (5)

I was still startled by Qi Sheng, contemplating what was hidden between those lines . With my mind occupied by other thoughts, I started to moan in a careless way .

Teachers had been taught us to focus since when we were young, juggling between two tasks was never ideal . I used to snort at the cheesy saying, and now the second I started to mult.i.task in my mind, I tasted my bitter fruit .

Before I knew how it happened, Qi Sheng's hands had slipped all the way to my back from my shoulder…

My back, hmm, what an interesting position, aggressive and conservative moves could both be secured from there .

I went stiff instinctively, repressing all my goose b.u.mps, I turned back to look at Qi Sheng .

Qi Sheng's lips were closed slightly, dim light were s.h.i.+ning in his eyes .

I turned to look at my shoulder, and I shot a glance at Qi Sheng, collecting all my calmness, I said, "There's no bruise on my back, no need to rub my back . "

No facial change could be spot on Qi Sheng's face, only the veins on the corner of his forehead jumped several times rhythmically .

I didn't continue talking, I tried to look at him as innocent as I could, just like the way my girlfriend at college used to look at me .

That winter, I asked her out to attend to business as an excuse every night to spend time with her . That Miss . Blockhead didn't get why I did that at all, no matter how many hints I had left out there . And finally, on a cold windy night, for yet another time I futilely walked her back to her dorm, she stared at me apologetically and asked me in a low voice, "Can we skip our night dates, it is freezing cold, let's talk about the matters on the phone, shall we?"

I stared at her innocent eyes, as crystal clear as an angel's, I nodded with a smile on my face .

Seeing that, she rejoiced . While I was attempt to strangle her on the spot…

I thought to myself, "Qi Sheng must be feeling the same way" .

His hands, just lying dormant on my back, about eight cun (one cun is approx . 3 . 3cm) away from my neck, eight cun and half from my waistline . I just looked at him in silence, feeling restless secretly, wondering his hands are about travel up or down…

Qi Sheng's eyes finally presumed the glow, with his hands leaving my back he snorted at me, and left the bed without a word .

I finally exhaled a relief, and lied on all fours on the bed .

Lv Li hastily came in the chamber from outside, seeing the porcelain fragments, she went more fl.u.s.tered . She rushed to me, without checking whether I was injured or not, she cried, "Your Highness, Your Highness, what's going on? I'm calling on Imperial Physicians now!"

I reached out and grabbed her, "Come back!"

Lv Li looked at me with tears welling up in her eyes, she was obviously repressing her tears .

I was so speechless by this silly gal, I put on a serious look, "Calling on Imperial Physicians is no small matter, you are hardly retaining your composure, you's better check me yourself first!"

Hearing that, Lv Li held her breath and removed the quilt on me gently with her hands shaking, she didn't utter anything for a while, and she looked dumbstruck . With her almond-shaped eye wide open, her cherry- sized lips open, this gal looked startled .

Hmm, she looked yummy .

Lv Li turned from dumbstruck to happy-stricken . She screamed in a low voice, "His Highness, he… he…"

I covered Lv Li's mouth with my hand, and told him in a serious tone, "His Highness whipped me, he whipped me hard . Let's not call on Imperial Physicians, my wound on the leg started to bleed again, bring some water to clean up for me . Put on an act of busying yourself in and out for several rounds with the water basin, and leave the ointment from yesterday everywhere in the palace, make sure it smells strongly, last but not least take my clothes out and burn them in an isolated place . "

Lv Li was still in a daze, but she kept on nodding along .

"Spread my order, no one shall attend me in the palace except you for the following couple of days", continued me .

Lv Li nodded hard, then hurriedly stood up, ready to go .

I grabbed her, "No rush doing that, help me rub my back first . "

Although Qi Sheng's hands had left my back, I felt his aura still lingered, which made me uncomfortable . And it should be coped with .

Lv Li's endearing palms kept travelling up and down on my back .

I pondered who would be the first one to visit me, who was in illness, next day? Would it be Zhao w.a.n.g? Or Tree-climbing Lord?

Would Her Majesty the Empress send someone? Stepmother of Qi Sheng she might be, but she was biological mother of Tree-climbing Lord . What she asked me just now was nothing other than fault finding, if not the Empress Dowager who stood in the middle, I would have been the one who suffered .

Qi Sheng would get his fair share in the wake of my suffering .

I zoned out with my thoughts, Lv Li who was by my side came to a halt with the rubbing . I turned to see what was going on, Lv Li looked stumped and she was biting her lips, she hesitated a bit, "Your Highness, how about asking the family to send some Eight Treasures Motherwort Pellets?"

I stared blankly, letting her words sink in for a bit, and Imperial Physician Song's slim face flashed across my mind, then I realized what Lv Li really meant, I wish I was dead .

While Lv Li kept on convincing me in spite of all my reactions, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince is treating you entirely differently in a good way, why not grasp this great opportunity and conceive the Imperial Heir?"

I raised up, pointing the pillar painted in crimson lacquer and contoured in golden decorations standing the palace and spoke to Lv Li in a threating tone, "Dare you to mention this matter one more time, you will see me hitting the pillar . "

Lv Li got so scared that she covered her mouth with her hands, and mumbled, "I won't, I won't…"

Squinting my eyes with satisfaction, I resumed lying on all my fours and asked Lv Li carelessly, "Wanna take a guess on who would be the first one to visit me?"

Lv Li pondered a bit, "I have no idea, Your Highness's opinion?"

"Actually me neither . "

Lv Li and I looked at each other, feeling the mutual silent judgment .

Next day, someone came to visit me as expected, but quite surprisingly, it was Lin s.h.i.+---He Bingze's mother, Madam of the Secretarial a.s.sistant Minister, granddaughter of the legendary Prime Minister Lin Xian, neice of the Empress Dowager…an iron lady who once made her husband retreat to the stable at night to avoid her beating .

She didn't deserve such a poetic family name---Lin .

Tough ladies like her always dreaded me, therefore, I climbed out of bed hearing her arrival, and decorously sat in the palace to see her .

By ranking in the clan, she was my second cousin, but by status, she ought to call me "Your Highness" .

Having long known of her great reputation, I was not bold enough to accept her kowtow . Seeing she was about to greet me and practice the courtesy of kowtow, I hurriedly asked Lv Li to stop her practice, attend her to the seat and serve her tea .

I seized the chance to measure her with eye, no spring chicken she was, a quite good-looking woman still . Alas, you could never judge a book by its cover . Chances were He Liangchen was deceived by her look when he married her, but it was too late before he had a clue . Unless he meant to ask for an end of his political life, no one would be so audacious to unilaterally terminate marriage with a girl of the Lins .

Lin s.h.i.+ apologized over and over again for her son hitting me, I of course put on an act to show my generosity .  

While us two were busy playing the hypocrites, an inner-palace servant reported about Yang Yan's arrival .

That didn't surprise me, Bathroom Lord couldn't come to my palace to visit due to his prominent status, so sure enough he would send his trusted brother .
