Spoiled Wife - C94 The war is approaching
Shen Qi looked at him doubtfully. Duke Xiang then explained, “I’ll be going out to see you later.”
Shen Qi nodded in understanding. This was because the duke had neglected her so she took time to come back and take a look. She then asked: “Has Your Highness ever eaten?”
King Xian shook his head. “I’ll go with you.” He hadn’t had a good look at her for several days. When he returned home at night, she was already asleep by then, so he didn’t have the heart to disturb her, so he just laid down carefully. When he left too early in the morning, he didn’t have the heart to wake her up, so he hadn’t had a good talk with her for several days.
“Has Your Highness eaten properly in the past few days?” Shen Qi asked worriedly. Although the servants said that he would gift it every time, no one knew if he would be able to eat it. After all, there were still a few people there, and these servants could not enter to see if the prince would use it well.
Upon hearing this, King Xian’s expression softened, and he couldn’t hide the deep emotion in his eyes. The corners of his lips curled up in a smile as he nodded. “How could I let Princess Hua-Yang down?!”
Xiao Mo would always look outside at this time, looking forward to the food sent over by his wife and would never forget to tease her. Even though he had a solemn expression at the time, only he knew that his heart enjoyed the food, and it made people feel comfortable to see his wife being so considerate. He wished that he could bring everything to her and give her the best, as long as he could make her happy.
Before, he had had nothing to worry about, but now, it was different. His wangfei was still waiting for him in the capital, but before he could leave, he started to worry, worried that she would not get used to his presence after he left, worried that she would suffer some grievances in a place he did not know about. He felt a pang in his heart when he thought about it, and then he couldn’t wait to see her and confirm that she was still fine.
Therefore, he threw everything aside and returned. He came back to see the wangfei and accompany her to a meal.
After dinner, Shen Qi looked at him and asked: “My prince, did something happen?” She could feel his strangeness, and the way he looked at her was especially different than usual.
When King Xian heard this, he was startled for a moment before smiling wryly in his heart. The wangfei was still as sensitive as ever. She could feel even the slightest bit of abnormality and didn’t want to tell her so soon in case she worried.
However, thinking back to the time when he had left for Jiangnan and informed her, although she didn’t say anything, Duke Xian could feel her disappointment. Should he tell her earlier this time?
Seeing King Xian’s conflicted expression, Shen Qi smiled and said: “If it’s difficult, you don’t have to say it, just pretend that I didn’t ask.”
“There’s going to be a war at the border.” Shen Qi only knew what he was going to say after he said that.
He had thought of this problem before, so he didn’t feel it was too sudden. However, he was still a bit worried, because the prince was going to the battlefield, and anything could happen on the battlefield in a short time. What would he do if the prince encountered some mishaps?
Although he knew that it was impossible, Shen Qi still asked with a bit of luck: “May I go, Royal Highness?”
King Xian hadn’t expected her to ask such a question. His heart softened, but at the same time, it was aching. Although he couldn’t bear to look at her hopeful eyes, he still spoke the truth. “I am the commander.” This sentence represented his responsibility. He had to go.
To be honest, even if Shen Qi knew that this was the result, she still couldn’t help but be disappointed. Seeing her like this, Duke Xiang felt bad in her heart, so she pulled her into her embrace and kissed her forehead, “I will arrange everything before I leave. Wait for me in the capital.”
Shen Qi did not say anything, she only buried her head in his chest, and let out a muffled “En”, she nodded.
The atmosphere was a bit sad, but Prince Xian wasn’t used to it. No matter when he saw her, she would always have a smile on her face, calm and composed. When had there ever been a time like this? It was all because of her that she had tasted this sadness.
He suddenly had the urge to take her away with him, but when he thought about the harsh environment at the border and then looked at the delicate little princess in his arms, her creamy skin, her sharp hands, her silky skin, he had personally tested it. Even if she could adapt to that kind of environment, he still wouldn’t let her suffer.
He felt that his princess should be praised and doted upon every day, not exposed to the wind and the sun in the yellow sands of the world.
Thinking up to here, he suppressed his impulse, but didn’t want to see the wangfei continue to feel sad, so he held her face and comforted her, “It’s not like we’re leaving immediately. We always have to decide when to leave after the Mid-Autumn Festival.”
Although he said that, but there were only a few days left before the Mid-Autumn Festival, even if he didn’t leave immediately, he would. Shen Qi felt that he couldn’t stay calm, and thought that he was really in the middle of a honeymoon with his highness. In the blink of an eye, he was about to go to the battlefield!
However, she also knew that this was something that she couldn’t change. She didn’t think that she could make the prince stay and watch the barbarian invasion. That way, even if he didn’t say anything, he wouldn’t feel satisfied in his heart.
Thus, she restrained her emotions and looked at him seriously. “The Prince promised me that he would return safely. No matter what happens, I must ensure my own safety. Can you do that?”
King Xian’s heart ached with both pain and guilt. The wangfei never let him feel the slightest bit of awkwardness. She was righteous and never pestered him, so she promised him in earnest, “This King promises you he’ll definitely come back.” As for what had happened, the first thing he worried about was that he still couldn’t do it. There were too many uncertainties on the battlefield, so he couldn’t abandon those soldiers and escape for his life.
Shen Qi naturally knew this as well. She was both angry and helpless in her heart, but she also knew that this man had her own responsibilities and responsibilities that could not be changed with a single word from her. However, he could guarantee that she would definitely pay attention when she returned alive.
“Your Highness must keep your word.” Shen Qi said as she looked at him. Then, she continued, “If there’s really something bad happening to you, don’t expect me to stay on guard. On what grounds?!” After which, she turned to look at him in provocation.
When King Xian heard this, his breathing became heavy. Although he knew that the wangfei was provoking him, he couldn’t bear it any longer when he thought of that scene. He domineeringly pulled the person into his embrace and said, “Don’t even think about it. You’ll only be by this prince’s side for the rest of your life.”
“Hmph, that depends on whether or not you can defend me.” She didn’t push him away, but she still pushed him back in a provocative manner.
King Xian wanted to hit her on the butt, but it was only wangfei who was so infuriating. Who was it that still hadn’t left and wanted to remarry? He thought that he should teach the princess a lesson so that she wouldn’t know what a man was.
Then, the Duke carried the man directly into the room. Suddenly, Shen Qi jumped in the air, and upon realising what was going on, he realised that it was dangerous, “My prince, what are you doing?”
King Xian rolled his eyes at her and asked with a smile, “What do you think?” He walked nonstop to the bed and directly put her on the bed. Then he leaned over and looked at her dangerously. “This King thinks that I should teach you a lesson. For your age, This King will personally teach you. If you still don’t learn, hmph!” The word “hmph” caused Shen Qi’s body to tremble. He knew what the meaning was without saying.
Seeing that he had started to strip off his clothes, Shen Qi felt that this scene was amiss. When did the Prince become such a hooligan? Weren’t they discussing something very serious? How did it change so fast?
Without waiting for her to react and feel a chill on her body, Shen Qi hurriedly pushed him away, “My prince, don’t you still have matters to attend to?” He said so himself.
King Xian looked at her and smiled, smiling so much that Shen Qi felt a chill down his spine.
Seeing that he only had one apron left, Shen Qi could not help but roll his eyes and silently cursed, “What kind of business is this? Your Royal Highness, you’ve turned bad! ”
King Xian didn’t waste time talking to her and directly pulled open the curtain. Afterwards, a sound that would make one blush and feel their heart palpitate came from inside, unable to calm down for a long time.
When Duke Xian was finally satisfied, Shen Qi did not have the strength to speak anymore. Then she ordered the people outside to bring water in and carried them into the bathroom.
Shen Qi’s entire body went soft. Although she did not faint, he did not want to move an inch.
Just like now, when the princess still had the strength to do it again, so King Duan decided to do it again on the principle of not wasting any time. This time, Shen Qi no longer had the strength to scold her. Something must have gone wrong.
After drowsily being washed and dried, then being carried back to bed, Shen Qi fell asleep next to the pillow. Seeing the deep emotion in her eyes, Duke Xian lowered his head and lightly kissed her lips, then she got up and put on her clothes before returning to the study room.
He really did have something to do. If it weren’t for the fact that he had been provoked by the princess, he wouldn’t have lost control of himself and rushed to the study. The prince still had that noble and elegant look on his face.
Therefore, having a deceptive face gave him such an advantage. No matter how much Mister Zeng didn’t expect that the prince would abandon his business and return to the inner chamber, seeing that Prince Xian had arrived late, he only thought that he had gotten himself into trouble.
As if nothing had happened before, this kind of ability wasn’t something that anyone could learn. If Shen Qi was here, she would definitely say “I can pretend, I can pretend too much”.
