Quick Wear: The Heirless Boss Wants to Get Close to Her Every Day

Chapter 475 The General's Daughter vs. the Deposed Crown Prince with No Heir (12)

Hearing his gentle voice, Shen Shuyi blushed slightly. "It has nothing to do with Your Highness."

The man had a strong, muscular chest, and still carried that faint scent of fresh bamboo.

Zhao Heng stood firmly and released his grip on her waist.

Shen Shuyi raised her head with lingering fear and met his incomparably handsome face. The gentle Prince Su was looking at her.

She quickly said, "Your Highness, let's continue."

Zhao Heng lowered his eyes, his gaze falling on the young girl in front of him. Her almond-shaped eyes were moist, her cherry lips were full, and her fair face was slightly flushed, making her delicate and lovely.

"Hmm." He calmly took a step ahead, but this time his pace slowed considerably.

Shen Shuyi easily caught up. The peach blossoms were in full bloom ahead, and she couldn't help but quicken her pace and walk slowly in front of Zhao Heng, occasionally sniffing the fragrance of the flowers.

Zhao Heng stepped forward, supported by a branch, and saw her pale yellow dress fluttering gracefully, the hem swaying like a flower in the wind.

The two admired the peach blossoms in the grove for a while before heading back. Unfortunately, Shen Shuyi's carriage broke down, and since it was on the same route as Prince Su's residence, Zhao Heng invited her to ride back to the residence together.

Before getting into the carriage, Shen Shuyi bit her lip secretly, "Wouldn't this be too much trouble for you?"

Zhao Heng looked into her eyes and said, "How could it be troublesome? Do you not wish to ride with me?"

"Of course not. It is my honor to enjoy the spring scenery with Your Highness today." Shen Shuyi gathered her skirts and got into the carriage.

The carriage rumbled along, swaying and rocking. Shen Shuyi leaned against the window, feeling drowsy, and closed her eyes in a hazy state.

The warm spring sun shone on her face. Zhao Heng saw that she was sleeping soundly, her skin as smooth as jade, her delicate face slightly flushed, adding a touch of naivety.

When they arrived at Tingyu Villa, Shen Shuyi felt her arm was numb from being rubbed against the pillow when Zhao Heng woke her up.

She raised her head, her misty eyes looking at Zhao Heng, her voice slightly hoarse from just waking up, "Your Highness, have we arrived?"

"Hmm." Zhao Heng noticed that her face was rosy, there were still marks from sleeping on one side of her face, and her hair was a little messy.

"Then I'll head back now. Thank you for bringing me back, Your Highness."

Shen Shuyi stepped off the carriage and suddenly turned around to meet Zhao Heng's deep eyes. Her eyebrows curved slightly. "I picked a lot of shepherd's purse during my spring outing today. I'll make some shepherd's purse dumplings and send them to the Prince's mansion for you to try."

"Alright, you should go back now." For some reason, Zhao Heng felt relaxed when he saw her small face, and he was extremely envious of her good sleep, unlike him who had trouble falling asleep every night.

As soon as Shen Shuyi returned to Tingyu Manor, the system sent a message from Shen Qingyi.

[Host, Zhao Qiyu has agreed to marry Shen Qingyi. Your plan is going to fall through.]
A mocking smile flashed in Shen Shuyi's eyes. "You can't trust the words of some men, especially unscrupulous people like Zhao Qiyu."

Shen Qingyi was pulled out of the lake by Shen Feng. In a moment of desperation, he had no choice but to take her to a house on the shore of Lishui, a place where high-ranking officials and nobles would rest, so that she could put on her clothes.

Shen Qingyi, shivering after getting dressed, sat on the low couch. Shen Feng, his eyes filled with heartache and indignation, said, "Qingyi, you and the Fourth Prince were actually on the pleasure boat."

"Brother Feng, please stop. His Highness and I are deeply in love." Shen Qingyi had long known that Shen Feng liked her, and this was something she had deliberately seduced. Since childhood, she had pulled Shen Feng into her camp to spite Shen Shuyi. She wanted to take everything from Shen Shuyi, including her brother's love.

Shen Feng felt very uncomfortable upon hearing this.

Shen Qingyi now feels that Shen Feng is a burden, but he is still useful. Her father is getting old, and the Shen family will belong to Shen Feng in the future. With such a powerful maternal family supporting her, she will have a strong backing when she becomes the Fourth Prince's wife, or even the Crown Prince's wife or the Empress.

She softened her tone, "Brother Feng, please don't misunderstand. Can you keep what happened today a secret? If Dad finds out, he'll beat me to death."

"I won't tell Father that I'm taking Qingyi home."

"Wait a moment, okay? I have something I'd like to say to Your Highness."

The next time she would meet Zhao Qiyu was at the palace banquet, so she needed to settle things as soon as possible.

Shen Feng frowned.

Shen Qingyi grabbed his hand, "Brother Feng, it's only a quarter of an hour, can you wait for me a little while?" "Go and come back quickly." Shen Feng sighed helplessly.

Zhao Qiyu was changing clothes in the next room when he saw Shen Qingyi walk in. He went up to her and put his arm around her, asking, "Why are you in such a panic?"

Shen Qingyi's eyes were red and filled with tears. "Your Highness, I have lost my virginity to you in public. I am ashamed to live in this world. I have come to say goodbye to you."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Zhao Qiyu wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. "You are already mine. I will not let anything happen to you, and no one will dare to say anything against you."

"Really?" Shen Qingyi asked nervously.

"Of course, once I take you, I will take responsibility for you," Zhao Qiyu reassured her. "At the palace banquet, I will choose you as my queen."

"You just need to rest and wait to get married."

Shen Qingyi's eyes lit up, then dimmed again. "If Her Majesty the Empress knew about this, wouldn't she think I'm frivolous and dislike me?"

"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything." Zhao Qiyu had a bad feeling, but he still tried to reassure Shen Qingyi first.

System 66 transformed into a little white cat and nestled beside Shen Shuyi's knees: Host, do you have a way to break them up?

Shen Shuyi rested her chin on her hands, "There are people who are even more anxious than I am."

"Who would like a daughter-in-law with a bad reputation?"

With such great ambitions, it's impossible for the Empress to allow her son to marry Shen Qingyi.

As expected, Zhao Qiyu was immediately summoned to Changchun Palace by the Empress upon returning to his residence.

The Empress leaned against the soft couch, her brows furrowed. A nanny was massaging her, but even so, she still felt a headache coming on.

"That little bitch is really restless."

"She must have deliberately seduced Qi Yu. If she were an ordinary palace maid, I would have had her beaten to death long ago!"

"Your Majesty, please calm down. We can find an opportunity to have her executed later."

The Fourth Prince is currently infatuated with Shen Qingyi, so this is not a good time to make a move.

Just then, Zhao Qiyu entered the palace, saying, "Your subject greets Your Majesty."

"Get up. I can only feel at ease if you can be less of a worry."

"What are your plans to do about Shen Qingyi?"

Zhao Qiyu said, "Mother, Qingyi is already mine. At the palace banquet, I want to choose her as my princess."

"No!" the Empress refused outright.

"Many people have already guessed what you did on the pleasure boat. If you were to marry a withered woman as your princess, those ministers would probably laugh at you!"

"Keke Qingyi is with me, Mother. I have liked her for many years."

Empress Cui was furious and had a terrible headache. Her good-for-nothing son had actually defied her for the sake of a woman.

She lived with a knife hanging over her head every day in order to plot her way to the position of crown prince, but he, on the other hand, was oblivious to the gravity of the situation!

"If you still consider me your mother, then choose Shen Shuyi at the imperial concubine selection banquet. Otherwise, I will disown you as an unfilial son!"

Zhao Qiyu suddenly recalled Shen Shuyi's stunningly beautiful face and fell silent.
