After the concubine ran away, the cold prince lost control

Chapter 491: Childhood sweethearts, memories of childhood (3)

The King of Qin is actually in love with Xue'er.

Upon hearing the news, Li Rong's heart became uneasy, especially when he heard the other party say in front of him that Xue'er was his, which made Li Rong even more imaginative.

The sweetness of being in love did not last for a few days before he fell into the abyss of pain.

For several days in a row, Li Rong took leave and did not go to the imperial city to perform his duties.

He didn't know how to face his fiancée, and he was even more afraid to face the King of Qin.

That day, he was still at home drinking to drown his sorrows. The doorman came running over in a hurry. Before he even entered the door, he hurriedly shouted, "Sir, Miss Xue'er is here."

Li Rong, who was drinking alone, immediately perked up when he heard this.

"where is she?"

"It's right at the gate. Miss Xue'er asked you to go out and meet her."

Li Rong was so excited that he almost flew up. When he ran to the gate and saw his sweetheart, all the depression that had been suppressed in his heart disappeared unconsciously.

"General Li Xiao——"

The girl bowed to him and said bluntly, "The general and I are about to get engaged. Now, do you regret this marriage?"

The warm spring sun shines through the porch and onto the little girl's fair face. Because of her presence, it seems as if all the beautiful spring scenery around her has lost its luster.

The little girl is not the most beautiful woman, but she has an extremely attractive charm.

Her clear voice penetrated Li Rong's ears, making him feel a little dizzy.

"Xue'er--" He didn't know what to say for a moment.

After a long while, he finally had time to tell her: "I don't regret it. I went through so much trouble to ask my parents for this marriage. I won't regret it."

The Li family has been an official family for generations, so naturally, Li's parents did not want their son to marry a slave girl. Although this woman was a favorite of the queen of the time, it would still be somewhat disgraceful if the news got out.

The reason why the Li family agreed to this marriage was entirely because of Li Rong's earnest pleading.

After hearing the other party's explanation, Xue'er did not have any emotion. She replied calmly: "In fact, sometimes I also wonder whether our marriage is suitable. I know that your parents have always been reluctant. If they are unwilling, I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to get along in the future even if I marry you. It will be difficult for you to be caught in the middle."

The little girl was so sensible and thoughtful, which made Li Rong like her even more.

"Xue'er, don't worry. I have made up my mind. When I have made great contributions, I will personally ask the Queen to pardon your status as an official slave. From now on, no one will dare to look down on you."

Xue'er remained calm after hearing these words and asked, "I heard that the King of Qin came to see you a few days ago, is that right?"

When mentioning the King of Qin, Li Rong couldn't help but frown.

Seeing the other person's thoughts, Xue'er said, "He must have said something to you, right?"

Li Rong wanted to ask the questions in his mind.

Are you and the King of Qin innocent?
But when the words came to his lips, they were stuck in his throat and he couldn't say them.

"The King of Qin and I are innocent." Before he could ask, Xue'er said to him, "We grew up together. I regard him as my brother. I know my identity. As for other things, I have never thought about it. Although the King of Qin is unruly, he is by no means a licentious person. Not to mention me, he is chaste even towards any woman in the palace." Although Li Rong was a little jealous when he heard Xue'er praising the King of Qin, he was still overjoyed to know her innocence.

"Xue'er——"

He subconsciously held her hand, but before he could express his feelings, a tall figure appeared from nowhere, and before he could recover, he was punched hard in the face.

State affairs have been busy these days. Today, after the morning court session, Lu Ji has been discussing matters with several court officials in the Qinzheng Hall. He was so busy that he didn't even have time for dinner.

After several old ministers had dispersed, it was already the western border of Wujin. The emperor was about to get up and return to the palace when the empress entered the hall carrying a food box. The couple's two sons were already young men, but they were still as loving and sweet as a young couple.

"Nowadays, you have become even more virtuous." Upon seeing his wife, the emperor immediately smiled, and even his tone of voice was joking and relaxed.

The emperor and the empress loved each other so much that in order to favor the empress alone, the emperor even emptied the six palaces. In the huge harem, there was only the empress as the mistress.

The palace people were already accustomed to the occasional affectionate scenes between the emperor and empress. Seeing this, the maids and eunuchs in the hall tactfully withdrew without waiting for the emperor and empress's orders.

Qin Xiaoning stepped forward and arranged the food in the food box in an orderly manner. She smiled and replied to her husband: "Don't rush to praise me. I just learned how to make these dishes today. I don't know if they suit your taste."

"As long as it's cooked by you, it must suit my taste." Lu Ji looked at the food on the table and rubbed his hands subconsciously, looking greedy.

The man was nearly forty, an age when one is at his most calm and wise, but this usually cold and dignified emperor would always act childishly in front of his wife.

Qin Xiaoning glared: "Look at your useless appearance."

As she spoke, she raised her hand, picked up a piece of food and fed it to her husband.

"Delicious, delicious." Lu Ji praised repeatedly, then stretched out his arms and hugged his wife in his arms.

Although my wife is over 30 years old, she still looks like a girl because she takes good care of herself and lives a comfortable life. Especially her eyes, which are as clear as a little girl's and full of charm when they move around.

"You use it together with me." The man said to his wife.

"I have already eaten."

"Then accompany me to eat some more." The man said to his wife coquettishly: "It's boring to eat it alone."

The couple was just getting close to each other when the old eunuch's voice rang out from outside: "Your Majesty, Queen, I have something urgent to report."

Qin Xiaoning quickly slid out of Lu Ji's arms, tidied her clothes, and said to the outside, "Come in and talk."

Lu Ji also stopped laughing and joking with his wife and immediately restored his dignity as an emperor.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin who has caused trouble again." The old eunuch entered the hall and replied with a bitter face.

"What's wrong with Xier?" Lu Ji asked with a frown.

The old eunuch sighed and replied, "His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin also beat General Li Rong, breaking his nose. General Li knelt outside the palace and begged for an audience, saying that he wanted to apologize to His Majesty on behalf of his rebellious son."

The apology was just a pretense. His son was beaten, and he came to Lu Ji to complain.

"This little bastard, he just can't stop until he causes trouble for me." Lu Ji cursed and asked, "But why is he arguing with Li Rong?"

Upon hearing this, the old eunuch first glanced at Qin Xiaoning who was standing beside him, and then hesitantly replied: "I don't know the details either, but I heard from the palace servants that it seemed, it seemed to be for Miss Xue'er."
