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

Chapter 486 The General's Daughter vs. the Deposed Crown Prince with No Heir (23)

Upon hearing what had happened at the General's Mansion, Zhao Heng worried that Shen Shuyi would be saddened by her birth mother's passing, so he rushed over to check on her. Unexpectedly, he found a drunk young girl.

She lay limply by the low couch by the window, enjoying the cool air and drinking, her little face flushed.

As Zhao Heng took a few steps closer, he could smell the alcohol emanating from her. "How much did you drink?"

Is he drinking because he's heartbroken?

He sat down on the low couch with a pained expression, looking down at the drunk man.

"There are only a few cups, they are very delicious. Would you like to try some, Your Highness?" Shen Shuyi looked at him somewhat slowly, and even stood up to pour him a cup, but brought it to her own lips.

Zhao Heng was about to stop her when she leaned over and pressed her lips against his.

The liquor fell into his mouth.

Zhao Heng drank the wine, and the next moment he gently bit her lips.

When Shen Shuyi came to her senses, her long hair was disheveled, and some strands were still wrapped around Zhao Heng.

Zhao Heng held her tightly in his arms, both of them still blushing from their kiss.

Seeing her beautiful eyes filled with tears and reddened at the corners, he softened and wanted to comfort her, "Drank so much, are you feeling very uncomfortable?"

Shen Shuyi felt her eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and before she could even speak to him, she fell asleep drunk.

Zhao Heng gently wiped away the moisture from the corner of her lips with his fingers, then carried her to the bed, laid her down, and tucked her in.

He gently stroked Shen Shuyi's face, gazing at her obedient sleeping face.

Suddenly, the person on the bed groaned a few times and turned over.

Zhao Heng thought she was having a nightmare, so he quickly and gently patted her back. "Don't be afraid, I'm here. No one will be able to hurt you again."

He had already made his plans to completely eliminate the Empress's supporters and would not give Zhao Qiyu the opportunity to become the Crown Prince.

Shen Shuyi frowned and hummed softly, her lips parting slightly as if she were saying something.

Zhao Heng leaned closer to listen, but the person on the bed woke up.

Their eyes met, and Shen Shuyi looked at him as if she were half-drunk and half-awake, "Your Highness, what are you doing here?"

"I came to see you." Zhao Heng's Adam's apple bobbed.

Shen Shuyi blinked. "Why did you come to see me?"

"Does the prince like me?"

She tried to sit up, but Zhao Heng, worried she would fall, quickly helped her.

As a result, she drank alcohol and felt weak all over, so she slumped into his arms.

Zhao Heng wrapped his arms around her waist. "Don't move."

"You haven't answered my question yet." Shen Shuyi wrapped her arms around his neck, his face almost touching her lips.

"like or not?"

Zhao Heng smelled her fragrance, and she snuggled closer to him, her cherry lips brushing against his cheek.

He quickly restrained the person, his voice gentle, "I like it."

A night breeze blew, and the man's burning lips descended, gently sucking on the girl's lips.

After a while, Zhao Heng lowered his head and touched her forehead, comforting her, "Sleep, I'll be right here."

Shen Shuyi's eyes, on the contrary, were bright and clear, no longer hazy with drunkenness.

"very nice."

"I also like the prince."

After saying that, she lay down on Zhao Heng and buried her head in his chest.

The girl in his arms had already fallen asleep. Zhao Heng's eyes were deep and unfathomable. He remained in this position for a long time before finally putting her down, covering her with a blanket, and leaving.

……

On the day of Prince Su's wedding, peach blossoms were in full bloom throughout the city. Prince Su, dressed in a wedding robe and looking dashing, rode his horse through the ten-mile-long street. He was as handsome as if he were in a painting. Many people gathered in front of the Prince's mansion to watch the spectacle.

This was the grandest wedding they had ever seen in Chang'an over the years.

Before the auspicious hour had arrived, he rode his horse to the front of Tingyu Villa.

When the auspicious hour arrived, the bride, adorned in a phoenix coronet and embroidered robe, was escorted to the luxurious bridal sedan chair. Her wedding dress shimmered with light and color, and the young woman's figure was graceful and beautiful. Although her head was covered by a veil, one could still imagine how beautiful she was.

Amidst the sound of firecrackers, Zhao Heng grasped the piece of red silk that was handed to him. Looking at the person in front of him, his heart began to race.

He took another step forward, and then, carrying the red silk and the person in his arms, he lifted them up and carried them onto the bridal sedan chair.

Wearing the phoenix crown, Shen Shuyi felt a little dizzy and lightheaded. She felt better after Zhao Heng carried her to sit in the bridal sedan chair.

General Shen was originally supposed to preside over the wedding banquet, but the emperor knew about the estrangement between the father and daughter. These things were not a big deal to the emperor. Since the princess wanted to get married at Tingyu Villa, he granted her wish. In any case, Prince Su was not the crown prince, so there was no need to worry about these formalities.

For a time, Shen Jing became the laughing stock of the court, with everyone saying that he favored his concubine over his wife and that his household was in turmoil.

"Get up the sedan!"

Amidst the deafening sounds of gongs and drums, Shen Shuyi was jolted. She had assumed the bridal sedan chair was slowly heading towards Prince Su's residence, but instead it was circling around most of Chang'an.

Prince Su's wedding to his princess was a grand affair, with crowds of onlookers lining both sides of the road, eagerly awaiting the spectacle.

They all wanted to meet Prince Su, the former Crown Prince, who was skilled in both literature and martial arts and had made numerous meritorious contributions.

Zhao Heng, dressed in a bright red wedding robe, sat on horseback. His face was as handsome as jade, and his eyes were deep. Everyone who saw his appearance couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

The demeanor of royal children is truly extraordinary.

Shen Shuyi had gotten up early and was almost asleep when she was suddenly awakened by a loud shout of "Get out of the sedan chair!"

After getting out of the sedan chair, a red silk ribbon was slipped into her hand again, but this time, she was led by Zhao Heng's warm hand.

Shen Shuyi lowered her head and saw the cloud-patterned silk threads under his bright red brocade robe.

During the wedding ceremony, she saw Zhao Heng's boots again, and when she lowered her head, she felt that the phoenix crown was too heavy.

"Couple greetings!"

"After the ceremony, we will send you to the bridal chamber!"

Upon entering the bedchamber, Shen Shuyi couldn't help but pull off the veil on her head, followed by the phoenix crown.

Green Willow quickly said, "Your Highness, this is against the rules."

"It's uncomfortable." Shen Shuyi still wanted to take off her wedding robe.

Green Willow quickly put the veil back on her head, "Miss, please wait a little longer, the Prince will be here soon."

Shen Shuyi didn't believe it. "He still has to drink with the guests."

Just as Green Willow was at her wit's end, she heard steady footsteps outside.

The officials escorted Zhao Heng into the bridal chamber, saying, "Please lift the veil, Your Highness."

Zhao Heng took the golden scale rod and went to Shen Shuyi, lifting her veil.

What he saw was a fair and flawless face, with a touch of rouge on it, as beautiful as a peach blossom.

Shen Shuyi's eyelashes trembled slightly. When she met his deep eyes, she subconsciously lowered her head, her ears burning slightly.

Zhao Heng took the scissors and together they cut off a strand of hair and tied it into a love knot.

Shen Shuyi quickly smelled the aroma of the wine and accepted the nuptial wine offered by the master of ceremonies.

While Zhao Heng was drinking, his gaze remained fixed on her until the ceremony was over.

He took Shen Shuyi's hand and said softly, "I'll be back in a bit."

"Mmm." As soon as he left, Shen Shuyi took off her wedding dress and went to take a bath. She felt a sense of relief while soaking in the bath. This wedding was really tiring.

But if they don't get married, Zhao Heng definitely won't overstep his bounds and have a child with her.

The system seized the opportunity to recommend: Host, the multi-birth pills are on sale, want some?

Shen Shuyi thought for a moment, "Let's get twin pills instead, we can't take care of too many."

[You are a princess, after all. You don't need to take care of her yourself; there are plenty of wet nurses.]
“That’s different. Since I gave birth to them, I will take care of them wholeheartedly. Children are not props.”

Zhao Heng drank with the guests at the front. He drank a few cups of wine from the Prince's mansion without worry, but he was far from getting drunk.

Several brothers came over to offer toasts. The emperor had bestowed a marriage upon Prince Su, whose wedding date was scheduled first. The other princes had no objections, since he was the emperor's elder brother.

The Seventh Prince, Zhao Yongxi, had always been on good terms with Zhao Heng, and he often helped his brother fend off drinks at the banquet. "Alright, alright, my brother is drunk. Let him go to the bridal chamber. I will drink with you from now on."
