N-A-A Chapter 133 As if it were melon seeds that everyone wanted to eat.
Chapter 133 As if it were melon seeds that everyone wanted to eat.
Shen Shixi told everyone below to step back.
She said to Li Yuanyin, "Yes, I heard you. What's going on?"
Li Yuanyin looked very distressed. "I've known her for a long time. I originally wanted to ask my mother to grant me a marriage. I thought about marrying her, but my mother disagreed."
"It would have been fine if I disagreed, but my mother actually made me enter the palace through the imperial concubine selection! I'm so useless!"
He slammed his fist into the glazed tile wall. Shen Shixi, fearing he would break it, quickly pulled him back. "Are you crazy? Punch a stone! Can this withstand your punch?"
It can withstand the test, but what if it can't? Wouldn't that be a waste?
Li Yuanyin felt no empathy and was very sad. He squatted on the ground, hugged his head, and cried.
To be honest, he was only sixteen or seventeen years old, a young boy.
He's a first-year high school student.
But you can't really treat him like a high school student; royal children mature very early.
"Now that things have come to this, what do you want? If you're willing to give up this title of Prince and elope with her, I'll risk being banished to the cold palace and having my entire family wiped out to help you!"
Helping is out of the question, because I know there's no one that foolish. There are men in the world who are love-struck, but such a person couldn't possibly be born into royalty.
Royals are born with the ability to weigh the pros and cons and seek good fortune while avoiding misfortune.
Besides, if he insists on marrying her, even the Empress Dowager can't stop him. What kind of brat in the world can't stand up to his parents?
The Empress Dowager was not a heartless person.
Sure enough, Li Yuanyin shook his head, "Impossible, it's too difficult. We can't escape my brother's pursuit, and she can't escape the palace either. She won't come with me."
Shen Shixi thought to herself, "You might as well just say that you all can't let go of wealth and status."
They actually made the emperor take the blame!
Shen Shixi said, "In that case, you should stay away from her from now on. If people find out about your relationship, you'll at most get a scolding, but she... will only have one way out: death."
Her biggest mistake was meeting you by chance when she was young and naive. Even if she was guilty, it wasn't this serious. Do you understand?
If Ye Lanyi hadn't slain the dragon, Zhen Huan would have ultimately met her end, as would the twins.
That fat orange cat is a scoundrel, and what good is Li Yuanke anyway!
Shen Shixi didn't bother with it and left with the basket.
Not long after returning, Xie Tingwan sent a gift: a rare book, which should be priceless, but unfortunately it was of no use to Shen Shixi.
She had Qinghao check it over, and since there were no problems, she accepted it.
Bai Ping was puzzled. "You've never had any dealings with the palace and never accept gifts from anyone, so why did you accept this tattered book today?"
Shen Shixi said, "This is a crime punishable by beheading and extermination of the entire clan. If I don't take her, she won't survive."
As she spoke, Shen Shixi suddenly remembered something and had someone pick out a pair of gold earrings inlaid with pearls, jade, gemstones, and flowers to send to Xie Tingwan, so that she could feel at ease.
She cooked a plate of green vegetables for lunch and ate it all by herself, so she asked the small kitchen in Zhaoyang Palace to pick some from the glass room every day to eat.
The vegetables from the glass room are currently only supplied to Cining Palace and Qianyuan Palace, not even to Fengyi Palace, but wasn't that her idea?
If you don't dare give it to her, then nobody else can have any.
After waking up from her afternoon nap, Shen Shixi took the storybook she had written, which had less than ten pages, to Qianyuan Palace. Li Yuanke was still busy and had someone take her to the warm pavilion. He didn't arrive for quite a while.
"Why did you come over? Are you cold?" Li Yuanke warmed his hands in front of the incense burner for a while before coming over to hug her and look at the storybook she had written.
"The Monkey King searched for a long time and finally found the Three Star Cave..."
Li Yuanke continued reading, quite interested. "Write more when you have time; I love reading."
Shen Shixi laughed and handed him the pen, saying, "My hand hurts when I read to you and you write!"
Li Yuanke was no diligent person; he wouldn't do it. "Don't my hands hurt? Do you know how many words I write every day? My wrists hurt, but I haven't asked you to rub them for me."
He rotated his wrist.
He wanted Shen Shixi to feel sorry for him.
But what kind of good person is Shen Shixi?
She has a conscience, to some extent, but definitely not much.
"Your Majesty, do you still want to know what happens next? If you don't write it, I'll never write it again. Anyway, nobody wants to read it, hmph!"
"If you don't want to write it, just find someone else to write it for you. Why does it have to be me?"
Shen Shixi knew he was incredibly lazy. If it weren't for the fact that he had to write the memorial himself, he would have preferred to find someone else to approve it for him. But the more Li Yuanke didn't want to do something, the more she insisted on doing it.
"I want you to write, I want only your writing. I don't care about anyone else's. Your Majesty, Brother Yuan Ke, dear brother, please just write a few words, okay?"
She wiggled and twisted in Li Yuanke's arms like a taffy, her voice so sweet it was unbearable, clinging to his neck and whining incessantly.
Li Yuanke gave in after only two seconds and had no choice but to pick up the pen.
His tone was one of utter helplessness. "Speak, and I'll write it!"
Shen Shixi leaned on his shoulder, laughing smugly. "One day, the Patriarch ascended the altar and summoned all the immortals to expound the Great Dao. Sun Wukong listened with great interest, gesturing wildly..."
When Shen Shixi read the part about Sun Wukong wanting to learn the way to immortality, his master tapped him on the head three times and left, then stopped reading.
Making the emperor write for a while is fine, but if he writes too much, will he be happy?
Li Yuanke threw down his pen. "What does it mean to tap three times? Tell me!"
Shen Shixi kissed him on the cheek. "To find out what happens next, please stay tuned for the next episode. Tonight, I'm going to have dinner with you, and tonight I'm going to sleep in Qian Yuan Palace, I'm going to sleep with you!"
Li Yuanke held her and kissed her for a while, and they both became somewhat emotional, so they stopped.
"You went to the Imperial Garden? Was it fun?" Li Yuanke's voice was deep and somewhat hoarse.
"Yeah, we strolled around for a while and ran into Li Yuanyin and the others. We chatted for a bit." Shen Shixi leaned against him, playing with the dragon pendant on his waist, and glanced at him.
"What did they say? They were chatting about their old flame up there, and you were eavesdropping down there?"
[That bastard actually knows! What a son of a bitch! Could he have sent someone to follow me? Probably not. If he doesn't know anything about what happens in the harem, that's terrifying. He might not even know how he died.]
Shen Shixi glanced at him and saw that his face was covered with frost and his eyes were red. "Li Yuanke, you see that I was not poisoned to death, so you treat me like this?"
If I had known this would happen, I would have preferred to have been poisoned to death!
Tears just started falling.
Li Yuanke was a little confused. What happened to him?
He threw the handkerchief at her, "Speak like a human!"
"Look at your attitude towards me! We were so affectionate before, and after just a few days, you've already started to dislike me! Waaah, I knew it! Li Yuanke, you're a real jerk!"
"How have I ever treated you badly? You bastard, what did I say?"
Shen Shixi threw herself into his arms. "You dare to give me attitude? You've never done that before. I knew it. Now that you have me, you don't cherish me anymore."
Li Yuanke was so angry his teeth ached. He tried to pull her away, but she was glued to him and wouldn't budge. "Am I angry at you?"
"You know now? You're angry with Xie Tingwan? How much do you care about her to be this angry? Just because you have her in your heart doesn't mean her heart should be filled with you! You're an emperor, you can control her body, but can you control her heart?"
Li Yuanke laughed in exasperation, not bothering to argue. "Heh, marrying Li Yuanyin means becoming his principal wife and primary consort. Entering my harem sounds nice, but isn't it just being a concubine? Anyone with a brain knows how to choose!"
[Hey, why are you targeting me? Seriously, what does your story have to do with me? All I ever did was wander into the Imperial Garden today, thinking I was some kind of gossipmonger.]
