Married To The Cruel Crown Prince Chapter 282 - You Were Snoring

Chapter 282 - You Were Snoring

Finally, the day of the marriage had arrived. The entire Palace was decorated. The servants, maidservants, Eunuchs were running errands. Sheng Li was getting ready in his chamber. The servants were helping him to wear the Dragon robes when Eunuch Xing-Fu came there and bowed.

"Your highness, General w.a.n.g is here," Xing-Fu informed Sheng Li who raised his hand in the air, thus gesturing to the servants to stop.

"Leave," Sheng Li commanded the servants who stepped back, bowed, and left the chamber.

"Send him," Sheng Li stated. Xing-Fu bowed and walked out.

Sheng Li tightened the sash around his waist and then wore the overcoat. Coming out of the Dressing room, he went near the floor table. w.a.n.g Hao came there and greeted him.

"Your highness, I have brought Hu Jingguo safely," w.a.n.g Hao reported to the Crown Prince.

Sheng Li hummed and asked him, "Are you good? I got your message. Who attacked you?" He came near him and scanned his face and hands.

"I do not know, your highness," w.a.n.g Hao replied. Sheng Li nodded and patted w.a.n.g Hao's shoulder.

"Where is he?" Sheng Li questioned.

"Since no one knew about his arrival, I took him to my residence. In my opinion, that would be a safer place for him," w.a.n.g Hao suggested.

"Hmm. Keep him there. There's something you need to look into," Sheng Li affirmed.

"Yes, your highness," w.a.n.g Hao stated.

Sheng Li narrated General w.a.n.g about the mysterious person that he had seen in the Palace with the Empress. "Xiao Zhan has the sketch of that person. He is the one, who is backing Weng Wei and aiding her in everything," Sheng Li proclaimed.

"I understand, your highness. I will look into that," General w.a.n.g a.s.sured the Crown Prince.

"Take a good rest, first," Sheng Li told him. w.a.n.g Hao hummed and took his leave. Sheng Li also left for the greeting hall. He met Ying Lili, who was wearing a peach-colored Hanfu dress with golden-red embroidery at the edges.

"You were snoring last night," Sheng Li suddenly said.

Ying Lili widened her eyes. "Pardon! You are lying. I do not snore," Ying Lili stated.

"Why do you think that I will lie early in the morning?" Sheng Li queried her.

"Because you love to tease me," Ying Lili replied. "I never snore," said with a firm tone.

"You were snoring, Wildcat! I don't dislike it. I know you were tired," Sheng Li proclaimed, keeping a smirk on his lips. Ying Lili knitted her brows and glared at him.

"Then, why is this smirk on your lips?" Ying Lili questioned him.

"I like smirking," replied Sheng Li and hastened towards the greeting hall.

Ying Lili ran after him to match his steps. "Why is he running?" Ying Lili murmured and scoffed. Suddenly, Sheng Li stopped. Ying Lili's forehead hit against his back.

"Ahh," she pa.s.sed a low scream and lifted her head. Sheng Li turned swiftly and blew air on her forehead and stroked her forehead with his thumb.

"Walk slowly," Sheng Li said.

"You were running so, how could I walk slowly?" Ying Lili complained.

Sheng Li grasped her hand, and they started walking. Leaning closer to Ying Lili's ear, he said, "Hu Jingguo is here. w.a.n.g Hao brought him safely."

Ying Lili smiled upon hearing the news. Sheng Li leaned back as he saw the First Prince coming from the other side with his wife and consort. He found him looking at Ying Lili, but unlike earlier times, his gaze was different.

Jian Guozhi s.h.i.+fted his gaze to Sheng Li and bowed. Sheng Li did the same while their wives greeted each other.

"Sister Lili, you are looking beautiful," Zhilao Mi said with a smile. Ying Lili pa.s.sed a smile to her and thanked her for the compliment.

"Sister Jing will leave after morning greetings," Jian Guozhi informed Sheng Li who nodded. They left for the Greeting hall where the Emperor and his wives were waiting for their children.

The other Princes arrived there as well.

"How is the Sixth Prince? The swelling has reduced," Han Wenji a.s.serted.

"I am well, father. Yes, the swelling has reduced," replied Lei Wanxi.

Han Wenji nodded and looked at the Empress. "Empress Wei, Princess Qi Jing is not here," Han Wenji stated.

"Princess Jing is getting ready. She has to leave for Lu Province. Your Majesty, we shall go to the Palace Grounds where Prince Lu Qifeng is waiting for the Princess," Weng Wei proclaimed.

"Yes. Let's go then," Han Wenji stood up from the throne, followed by the Empress and his other wives. They all left for the Imperial Palace Grounds.

Lu Qifeng was checking the sedan, making sure that it would be comfortable for Princess Qi Jing to travel such a long distance in the sedan. "Prince Qifeng, the Emperor, and the other Royal Family members will soon be here," Commander Su Yan informed Lu Qifeng, who nodded his head.

Xiao Zhan came there and told Lu Qifeng then he would accompany them to the Borders of Capital.

"Thank you, General Xiao," Lu Qifeng bowed when a little announcement was made about the arrival of the Emperor and the Empress.

Xiao Zhan stepped a little back while Lu Qifeng walked forward. Soon, the Emperor arrived there with the Empress and the others. Everyone was now standing at their respective places, with lowered heads. "Prince Lu Qifeng, I, Han Wenji, is giving you my biggest treasure- my precious daughter. I want you to keep her happy at all times. Princess Jing has chosen you above all the great princes in the Empire and I also believe in her choice," Han Wenji p.r.o.nounced. He glanced at Weng Wei and said, "Bring the Princess here."

Weng Wei looked at her personal a.s.sistant, who went to the chamber of Princess Jing.

"Your Majesty, I will keep Princess Jing happy. I am blessed that Princess Jing chose me over all the other men in the Empire," Lu Qifeng a.s.sured the Emperor.
