Gifted Bride of the Sinned Prince

77 Pink and Red Hanfu

Lóng Wei, who was in the main courtyard, was mesmerized to see Li Hua. She had worn the earrings that he purchased for her. His anger vanished completely after seeing her. A smile carved on his lips.

Li Hua was surprised to see Lóng Wei smiling at her. He indeed had strange mood swings.

“Shall we go, Your Highness?” She asked when he continued to stare at her.

“Of course,” Lóng Wei replied, and the two left for the greeting hall.

“Your Highness doesn’t look angry anymore. Earlier, he did not even listen to me,” Li Hua complained to him.

“It vanished when I saw you. You enchanted me with your eyes,” Lóng Wei replied, and Li Hua felt he was again flirtatious with her. “Father will bestow upon you the title of Princess today. Are you happy? The work you could not do in two months, I did it in two three days,” he proudly said.

Li Hua looked back and saw Court Lady Hong was following them with the handmaidens. Looking forward, she scolded Lóng Wei to talk about it openly. “What if anyone will hear it? His Highness shall not forget that we are followed by a few servants.” Li Hua stated.

“Court Lady Hong, maintain two feet of distance from us,” Lóng Wei loudly said. “No one will hear us,” he whispered, in her ear, before pecking on her cheek. Li Hua arched her brow while tilting her head. She found him acting as if he did nothing.

“Can His Highness not stop doing it? I do not like it,” Li Hua urged him.

.....

“What did I do?” Lóng Wei acted unaware of it.

“His Highness does it anytime, anywhere. He kisses me whenever he pleases,” she said, with an aggressive tone.

But to him, that aggressive tone was more like music coming out of zither. He was madly in love with her, so even in her aggression, he could feel the love for him.

“I do not consider that a kiss. It is a peck. Your vocabulary has issues, Li Hua,” Lóng Wei said. “Also, you should admit that you like it when I am affectionate with you. My kind of love is rare or impossible to find,” he asserted.

Li Hua lost against him in the arguments. Whatever she would say, he would twist them into something different, thus defeating her.

They ascended the stairs to the greeting hall when Lóng Wei asked Li Hua if she would be able to walk in those heavy robes. “If you cannot, then my arms are ready to lift you,” he said and smirked.

“This dress isn’t heavy, Your Highness. And even if it were heavy, His Highness doesn’t need to lift me. I can walk well even in heavy dresses,” Li Hua cleared him.

“You look lovely in pink and red. I remember watching you playing with your friends in that hanfu dress. That smile on your face, I can never forget it,” Lóng Wei said and halted at the stair one step ahead of Li Hua.

Lóng Wei recalled how he went to the Xu Residence and saw Li Hua playing blindfold with her friends. Seeing her smile, her laugh, he felt a strange happiness in his heart. He only found pleasure in doing mischievous things. However, that day, he felt happy just by looking at her.

Extremely happy!

She lifted her head while he tilted to the left to glance into her eyes. He held out his hand and waited for Li Hua to catch it. The servants behind them had stopped two feet away from them.

She realized that he stalked her during his stay in Xinshui Town. But he wasn’t allowed to leave the cold palace. How and when did he come to the Xu Residence!?

Xiaoming stopped in the corridor upon seeing them. He was hurt because Li Hua had become the official wife of Lóng Wei. He was jealous to see them together. He fisted his palms in anger and found Li Hua’s loving gaze on Lóng Wei. In the morning, when he found out that they had both consummated, he felt terrible for not forwarding his plan early.

“Crown Prince, Brother Lóng Wei has turned crazy because of a servant.” Qiu Mu made Lóng Wei fun and smiled.

“Hold it.” Lóng Wei gestured to her and looked at her hand. “Many eyes are on us. Let’s be a lovely couple and make everyone jealous,” he stated. His voice was audible only to Li Hua, who placed her hand on his palm. He pulled her up gently and made her walk on the stairs.

Xiaoming’s heart broke into pieces upon seeing the two. That smile on Lóng Wei’s face bothered him, and more than that, he was bothered by the relaxed face of Li Hua.

“Brother Tianjie has lost the bet. Our Sister-in-law is alive and safe with Brother Lóng Wei,” Mingquan reminded him about bet, which he made two days ago.

“Fourth Brother, it is only the beginning. Brother Lóng Wei’s mind goes wild at any moment. His hands are already filled with his mother’s blood. One who can kill his mother can kill anyone,” Zhang Xi pronounced. They continued to walk ahead while, from the opposite side, Xiaoming and Qiu Mu came.

Lóng Wei and Li Hua reached the top of the stairs and encountered them. She lowered her eyes.

“Greetings to everyone,” Li Hua said softly, and for a brief moment, her eyes met Xiaoming’s gaze. She again lowered her eyes and wondered why Lóng Wei did not greet his elders.

“Welcome, Sister-in-law Li Hua in the royal Qiu Family,” Mingquan said in his polite tone, carrying a pleasant smile on his lips.

“Thank you, Your Highness,” Li Hua said. She did not know what more to say. It was the first time Prince Mingquan had talked with her.

“Sister-in-law does not look like a servant anymore,” Qiu Mu said and looked at her from up to down.

“The Second Prince loves to insult my wife every time he encounters us,” Lóng Wei said and gritted his teeth. “This is the last time he called my wife a servant.”

He beamed at Qiu Mu, who chuckled and went towards the Greeting Hall. He didn’t want to argue with Lóng Wei and ruin his morning. If Qiu Mu had to accept the truth, then his every morning ruined after Lóng Wei’s return.

The other Princes, including the Crown Prince, also walked after Qiu Mu to the Greeting Hall.

“Why did the Sixth Prince talk so badly with his elder brother?” Li Hua scolded him. The one thing that she hated was when someone disrespected the elders. “I was a servant, Your Highness. This fact cannot be denied,” she opined.

“He doesn’t need to bring it anymore,” Lóng Wei said, adamant not to agree with her words.

“The Second Prince has full rights to say it. My identity is of a servant in their eyes. His Highness shall not get angry for this reason. To earn respect, first His Highness has to learn to give respect to the people around him,” Li Hua lectured him well. She recalled that her mission was to bring him to the right path and make him act like a Prince. A humble Prince.

“I never disrespected him. I didn’t call him a loser general,” Lóng Wei affirmed.

“Pardon me, Your Highness!?” Li Hua gaped at him, and she was shocked to hear his words for the Second Prince. He was not only Lóng Wei’s elder brother, but also the renowned Second General in the Qiu Army.

Lóng Wei huffed and walked ahead. Li Hua quietly followed him and let out a sigh.

The King, who had stopped by the pillar, heard their small argument. A smile formed on his lips. “This girl is indeed unique. She has the guts to talk back to him, knowing the fact that Lóng Wei is short-tempered,” he said and looked at his Queen.

Zhu Liling heard her husband’s words and smiled. “Indeed, Li Hua is strong enough to scold our youngest son,” she agreed with the words of Qiu Zedong. They both then resumed the walk towards the Greeting Hall.
