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

Chapter 593 The Mad Regent vs. the Fake Princess (12)

Shen Shuyi released the blanket from her hands, then leaned over and hugged Li Zhan's waist, pressing her soft body against him.

"How about we cuddle and sleep together tonight?"

She knew that Li Zhan liked the scent on her body, and it was best to fall asleep surrounded by that fragrance.

Li Zhan's chest heaved, and his breathing became heavy.

He sat down, raised his hand and stroked her face. "Which night haven't you slept in my arms? Is this your way of thanking me?"

Shen Shuyi steeled herself, sat on his waist, pushed him down, and kissed his lips.

Li Zhan was suddenly pushed down onto the bed by the little princess, and the bed creaked.

Shen Shuyi knelt on his waist and lowered her head to kiss the man's handsome face.

She awkwardly kissed his lips.

Li Zhan took control, returning the kiss and forcefully sucking on her soft lips.

Amidst the chaotic breathing, the man spoke in a hoarse voice.

"You keep kissing me all the time. If this happens again, I won't let you off the hook."

Shen Shuyi felt his burning heat. She raised her hand to hug the man's neck, her face flushed. "Then Your Highness, please don't let me go."

Li Zhan gently caressed her slightly red lips with his fingertips, then rolled over and pulled her down to kiss her passionately.

His large hand slid down her hair, paused for a moment in front of her, and then kissed her neck hard before rolling over to get off her.

"sleep."

Shen Shuyi was surprised. Was he... impotent?
However, she was indeed sleepy.

She habitually rolled into Li Zhan's arms and fell asleep, her head resting on his arm.

Little did she know that the man got up before she fell asleep and took a cold shower.

……

The emperor's birthday banquet had just ended, and the palace was holding another celebration, but this celebration was extremely somber.

Princess Changqing was to be sent to the Qiang Kingdom for a political marriage.

A sound of smashing and breaking came from inside the princess's palace. Palace servants knelt outside the palace, trembling with fear, terrified that their lives would be in danger.

Chen Junliu walked into the palace with his hands behind his back. When he saw Changqing's arrogant demeanor, he frowned.

"Changqing, you're becoming more and more lawless!"

When Princess Changqing saw her elder brother approaching, she rushed over, knelt beside him, and wept, saying:
"Brother, please save me! I don't want to go on this marriage alliance."

"I am your only younger sister. How can you bear to let me marry into that barbaric Qiang Kingdom?"

"By the way, we have so many princesses in Chen Kingdom. You can send the sixth or seventh princess, I'm not going!"

Chen Junliu pinched the bridge of his nose. "It's all because you're stupid!"

"Why did you provoke Li Zhan?!"

Princess Changqing burst into tears, crying out, "What did I do to offend him? I just..."

"Shut up!" Chen Junliu thought his younger sister was both stupid and vicious. "Princess Xuanhua has come from afar and is from the Regent's Palace. What right do you have to teach her manners?"

That idiot almost ruined his grand plan!
He had finally managed to get Shen Shuyi into the Regent's Palace, but this fool is going to ruin this pawn.

"From now until you get married, you will stay obediently in your bedchamber and don't even think about stepping out of the palace."

"Don't go and beg the Empress Dowager. She has fallen ill because of your situation."

"There's one more thing I forgot to tell you: the Regent has given his approval to arrange your marriage."

Princess Changqing was unwilling to accept this. She was just a lowly woman, so why should Li Zhan send her to a marriage alliance just to stand up for her?

After Chen Jun left, Princess Changqing used the pretext of visiting the sick to force her way into Cining Palace to see the Empress Dowager.

When Princess Changqing arrived at Cining Palace, she saw her mother calmly pruning the flowers; she did not appear to be ill.

It turns out her brother was lying to her!
Princess Changqing, burning with anger, immediately complained, "Mother, my brother wants to send me to the Qiang Kingdom for a political marriage. He really doesn't care about our sibling relationship at all." Empress Dowager Liu glanced at her indifferently, "This matter is a decision made by the entire court. Your brother also has many difficulties. As his sister, you should be understanding of him."

Princess Changqing was shocked by her mother's words and immediately knelt down and wept.

"Mother, I don't want to go on a political marriage. I'd rather marry in Chen than go to Qiang. It's so far away, I'll die."

Empress Dowager Liu had endured so much for so many years, and her son had finally become emperor. She hadn't even enjoyed her good days for long, and she absolutely couldn't let her daughter's affairs make things difficult for the emperor in the court.

"Get up. As a princess, you should shoulder the responsibilities of a princess. What kind of behavior is this, crying and sobbing?"

"Guards, escort the princess back to be taught manners."

"Mother, Mother, please save me!" Princess Changqing was dragged out by the nanny.

Just as they left Cining Palace, they encountered Consort Zhen, who had come to Cining Palace to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager.

Princess Changqing's eyes lit up. Consort Zhen was the emperor's favorite, so if she was willing to plead for her, she could still be saved.

"Sister Zhen, please save me."

Seeing Princess Changqing being escorted, Lu Zhen'er quickly raised her hand to stop them, asking, "What's going on?"

"Your Highness, the Empress Dowager has instructed me to send the princess back to her palace to be taught manners. When the princess arrives in the Qiang Kingdom, she will represent the face of the Chen royal family."

Princess Changqing, as if seeing a savior, broke free from the nanny's hand and ran over to grab Consort Zhen's arm, saying urgently, "Sister Zhen, please go and plead with my brother for me! I don't want to go on this marriage alliance."

Lu Zhen'er seemed not to hear, but simply raised her hand and gently pried open Princess Changqing's fingers, saying softly:
"The princess's marriage is a matter of state. I am merely a concubine in the harem and should not interfere in matters of the court. It is not that I do not want to help you, but I am powerless to do so."

Princess Changqing frowned, staring blankly at Consort Zhen, suddenly feeling that the woman in front of her had become a complete stranger.

Sister Zhen wasn't like this before; their relationship was clearly so good.
Lu Zhen'er gestured to the nanny, "Why aren't you taking the princess back yet?"

"It is the Imperial Concubine."

Lu Zhen'er walked straight into Cining Palace, as if she hadn't heard Princess Changqing's cursing behind her.

What's the point of keeping a useless piece? It's a pity we couldn't get rid of Shen Shuyi.

It seems she'll have to do it herself.
……

Shen Shuyi was quite content with her life at the Regent's Palace, except that she had to go to the study to serve him with writing materials every afternoon after waking up.

She ground the ink while watching Li Zhan write.

The Regent's calligraphy is also very beautiful, with strokes that are powerful and vigorous, giving people a sense of grandeur. I never expected that Li Zhan, who started his career as a military general, would also have such amazing calligraphy.

Having grown tired of calligraphy, she then looked at people.

Looking at Li Zhan's handsome profile, she was caught by his gaze.

Li Zhan looked up at her and said, "You have enough ink. Go and read a book over there."

He had made all the arrangements perfectly clear, but Shen Shuyi rested her chin on her hand and said, "Your Highness, I can't read, so how can I read?"

"Tomorrow, the King will invite the old scholar to his residence to teach you to read."

Shen Shuyi shook her head vigorously, "No, no, I can't afford to lose face like that."

"How old am I when I'm only just starting my early education?"

Li Zhan frowned slightly. "So you plan to remain illiterate forever? You may not be ashamed, but I am."

Shen Shuyi came up behind him, her slender, white fingers gently touching his shoulder, and said softly, "Your Highness, would you please teach me?"

"I will be stricter than the Master."

"How strict are you?"

"If you can't teach me, hit my hands with a ruler."

Upon hearing this, Shen Shuyi immediately withdrew her hand, then slowly placed it back to massage Li Zhan's shoulders. "I won't hit him again after three times, okay?"

Li Zhan chuckled. She really knew how to bargain, pushing her luck.
