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

Chapter 586 The Mad Regent vs. the Fake Princess (5)

Although Li Zhan did not attend the morning court session, he did not continue to rest in bed. Instead, he got up, practiced his sword for a while, washed up, had breakfast, and went to his study to handle official business.

Shen Shuyi didn't see him all morning, but she did see him at lunchtime.

A man dressed in a black brocade robe walked into the dining hall, his aura chilling. The servants in the room all lowered their heads slightly, not daring to look at him for long.

Shen Shuyi naturally came to his side, dressed in a crimson-purple dress, her face beautiful and otherworldly.

She took a deep breath, her mouth watering at the sight of the delicious food on the table.

Seeing Li Zhan sit down in the main seat, she stood beside him and said softly, "Your Highness, let me serve you some food."

Li Zhan glanced at the little princess, then raised his eyes to signal the others to take their orders and leave.

Only the two of them remained in the entire dining hall, perhaps with shadow guards lurking in the shadows.

Li Zhan usually doesn't speak during meals, but he only nodded slightly at the princess's suggestion.

Shen Shuyi reached out and served him a bowl of Poria and Lotus Seed Four-Ingredient Soup, while Li Zhan's gaze remained fixed on her hand.

Although she didn't personally oversee the meals in the manor, the serving of dishes was another matter entirely.

His gaze fell on the girl's fair hands, which were so smooth and flawless that they clearly belonged to a pampered noblewoman.

They shouldn't be spies who infiltrated the mansion.

Li Zhan picked up the white porcelain spoon, and when he looked up, his eyes met the collarbone that was revealed as the girl bent over slightly to serve the food; it was fair and delicate.
He only touched the spoon but didn't drink the soup. Instead, he looked at her and said, "It is my honor to have the princess serve me with my meals and daily life. You are entitled to drink this bowl of soup."

Shen Shuyi knew he was cautious; otherwise, he wouldn't have survived until now, surrounded by wolves.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

She sat down at the table, and Li Zhan watched her finish the whole bowl of soup before picking up his chopsticks.

Shen Shuyi readily picked up her chopsticks, took a bite of a dish, and said, "Your Highness, this pepper and vinegar shrimp is quite delicious. Please try it."

She ate with great relish, mainly because she was tired from giving Li Zhan a massage the night before.

"The cherry meat today is so delicious, with a perfect balance of sweet and sour. I've never had such good cherry meat in Lu before."

"Try it."

"Hmm." Li Zhan carefully observed her expression, making sure she didn't give anything away, before starting to eat.

Although Li Zhan was a general in the past, he is now a regent and acts quite respectably. His eating manners are elegant and even pleasing to the eye.

After finishing her meal, Shen Shuyi put down her chopsticks and drank half a bowl of soup. Her gaze inadvertently fell on the man's high, straight nose. This man was quite handsome.

Li Zhan noticed that the little princess was secretly watching him. The girl held a bowl in her fair hands and glanced over while drinking soup.

Even when holding a spoon, his gaze is intense.

When she put down the bowl, the little princess's lips seemed to have become much rosier.

After Shen Shuyi finished eating, she picked up the serving chopsticks and served Li Zhan his meal.

She even thoughtfully asked, "Your Highness, what kind of food do you prefer?"

"It's all right."

He spent his early years in the military, how could he possibly be a picky eater?

He glanced at the little princess and said, "Eat more."

"I fell asleep shortly after getting a massage last night."

"You are now my maidservant. Who gave you permission to sleep in front of me?"

Shen Shuyi: "..."

"What are you standing there for? Continue serving the dishes." Li Zhan frowned slightly. This young princess often spaced out; she didn't seem very bright.

Shen Shuyi felt that this man was a bit annoying.

She secretly made a grudge against that scoundrel.

Once she successfully wins him over, she'll see how obedient he is as a dog!
After lunch, Li Zhan went to his study to handle official business.

Shen Shuyi hadn't had much entertainment at the Prince's residence yet, so Uncle Fu came personally to invite her, saying that a new room had been arranged for her. This room was very close to the Prince's bedroom, making it convenient to serve him as he slept. This room was originally supposed to be the residence of the Prince's wives and concubines, but since the Prince hadn't married, it was just sitting there. Uncle Fu took it upon himself to consult the Prince, who told him to handle it as he saw fit.

When Uncle Fu saw that the prince had tacitly agreed, he immediately made arrangements. With a pleasing servant by his side, the prince's temper might even improve!
Although the princess of Lu had no official title in the Regent's Palace, the people there still addressed her as princess and treated her with respect.

Her food, clothing, housing, and transportation were all top-notch, and no one dared to neglect her.

The new room was on a completely different level compared to the one she had the day before; it was far more luxurious, elegantly decorated, and filled with priceless ornaments.

In the afternoon, she took a nice nap, and then had dinner with Li Zhan in the evening.

After dinner, Shen Shuyi enjoyed a relaxing hot spring bath.

The maids waiting outside couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

"This princess from the State of Lu is so beautiful."

"How can there be such a beautiful person in this world? She smells so good."

"The prince doted on her all night last night; who knows when she'll become the princess of the prince's mansion!"

"I didn't dare look at the princess for too long; she was so beautiful she was unreal."

After taking a bath that evening, Shen Shuyi went to Li Zhan's bedchamber again, and this time no one dared to stop her.

She knocked on the door. "Your Highness, I'm here."

No one responded, so she pushed the door open and went inside, only to hear the sound of running water coming from the inner room.

She took off her shoes and walked in slowly.

The hot spring water was steaming, and she immediately spotted a tall, slender figure with his back to her, his long hair covering most of his back.

But she still noticed the man's strong and muscular waist.

"Who is it?" The man's cold voice rang out as soon as she stepped in.

Li Zhan turned around, his deep eyes locking onto the girl's figure.

Feeling guilty under his gaze, Shen Shuyi stepped back. "I'm sorry, Your Highness, I didn't realize you were taking a bath."

As she ran out in a panic, Li Zhan got up, casually put on a white undershirt, and followed her.

He immediately spotted the bulge under the covers.

The pressure was released, and the man's voice was cold.

"You think you can hide after seeing me?"

Shen Shuyi nervously poked her head out, looking at him timidly, "Your Highness, spare my life."

"At worst, I'll show it to you again?"

Li Zhan looked down at the girl on the bed, his eyes deep and unfathomable.

He leaned down slightly. "Are you kidding me?"

The blanket fell off, revealing the girl's bare shoulders and her fair, slightly glowing skin to Li Zhan.

She was so clean and pure, her dark hair cascading down her lower back like satin.

Jet-black hair, glowing white skin, and the little princess's rosy lips.

Her eyes were so pure, yet at this moment she exuded a captivating charm.

The sheer, flowing skirt made her snow-covered front appear even softer and more supple.
Li Zhan turned around instantly and said bluntly, "Get out if you're not dressed properly."

As Shen Shuyi pulled up his clothes, she made a face at his back.

Is he even a man? How can he be so unmoved by such beauty?
Shen Shuyi's gaze fell on his reddened ears.
It seems that someone isn't so calm and collected after all.

Li Zhan got into bed and looked at the neatly dressed girl, noticing her flushed cheeks.

"Why is your face red?"
