Before the palace banquet was over, Li Zhan picked up the little princess and walked out of the palace.
He was so unruly that the emperor and Empress Dowager Liu were furious but could do nothing about it.
Just bear with it and wait until Li Zhan is killed!
The envoys from Lu were on pins and needles. The princess who was supposed to be married off to the foreign country had been turned into a maid. They hoped that she could win the favor of the regent and become the regent's consort.
The ministers present were very unhappy. The conservative diehards had long disliked Li Zhan and were dissatisfied with his drastic reforms.
Fortunately, Li Zhan was injured on the battlefield in his early years and had no offspring, otherwise his Li family would have been filled with treacherous ministers from generation to generation!
…
When Shen Shuyi arrived at the Regent's Palace, Li Zhan put her aside and went to the study to take care of official business.
The housekeeper, Uncle Fu, has been managing the palace for many years, but he has never seen the prince bring a woman back to the palace, and there is no maid in the palace to serve the prince personally.
How to arrange...
She was the Princess of Lu after all, but the prince said at the palace banquet that he wanted the princess to be his maid, even an ordinary maid, and arranged her to stay far away and stay in the yard and not show up around the prince.
But this princess seems to be very favored by the prince, otherwise why would the prince carry her out of the palace.
After much deliberation, Forbes decided to arrange the person in the upper room, but it was still some distance away from the prince's bedroom.
Not too close, not too far, just right.
Shen Shuyi drank some wine at the palace banquet and was slightly tipsy soaking in the bathtub with his eyes closed.
The Regent's Palace is so luxurious that even the maids can take a hot spring bath.
The fair and delicate skin was steamed into a rosy white by the hot spring pool, and the black hair was scattered behind her. The girl in the pool was as beautiful as a dream.
The sun was setting in the west. Chen Shuyi took a hot spring bath to relieve his fatigue and then got up and dressed.
She was only wearing a red gauze dress and had no extra red hairpin on her head, but she was dazzlingly beautiful under the hazy moonlight and the light of the lanterns.
Cui'er, the palace maid brought from Lu State, reminded, "Princess, don't you want to rest?" Why are you still going out of the yard so late at night?
Shen Shuyi, “Just go and rest.”
Cui'er was confused and had to light the lantern carefully.
When the housekeeper Fu Bo saw her, he was startled, "Why is the princess here?"
"Is the prince here?"
"The prince has rested, Princess, please go back."
But Shen Shuyi said: "I should go in and personally serve the prince to sleep."
Uncle Fu was shocked. Without the prince's permission, who would dare to let anyone into the bedroom?
But when I think about it, the prince didn't say anything to stop the princess from serving him. He brought her back to be his personal maid...
Just as he was hesitating, Shen Shuyi had already arrived in front of the bedroom, and the lights were on in the room.
The guards at the door didn't move at all. Shen Shuyi just walked to the door and raised his voice slightly.
"Your Highness, Xuanhua is here to help you get to bed."
Li Zhan didn't sleep. He stood by the window with his hair loose, enduring the headache and wanting to lie down and sleep for a while after the headache was over.
When he heard the little princess' voice, his deep eyes moved slightly, "Come in."
Upon hearing this, Uncle Fu, who was standing behind him, hurriedly left with his servants, not daring to disturb the prince from favoring the princess.
Shen Shuyi pushed the door open and walked in, looking directly into his eyes, "Is Your Majesty not in bed yet?"
"What are you doing here?" Li Zhan's eyes flashed with surprise the moment he saw her. The saying "looking at a beauty under the lamp" is indeed true.
Shen Shuyi said softly, “Xuanhua is here to wait on you to bed.”
Li Zhan watched her take off her embroidered shoes and climb onto his bed, his eyes darkening.
His gaze fell on the little princess's delicate white feet, which were resting on his bed. The candlelight in the hall shone on her round and lovely toes...
An inexplicable itch seemed to arise in Li Zhan's usually calm heart.
Her white and tender feet were resting on his bed, and the candlelight in the hall shone on her white and round toes...
The black bed sheets formed a contrast with the girl's fair feet.
He felt that apart from those eyes, those jade feet seemed to be quite pretty as well.
But the person on the bed hadn't noticed the change in his eyes, and even waved to him to come over with a smile.
"Your Majesty, please come up."
Li Zhan walked forward slowly and looked at the girl's face without any makeup. Her face was so white and tender that she looked like a beautiful flower in the world.
He sat on the edge of the bed, looking straight at the smiling little princess.
"As a princess of a country, are you willing to be a maid?"
"How can you not be sad about missing out on becoming a concubine?"
Li Zhan suddenly became curious about what she would look like when she cried.
Will you still look good when you cry?
Shen Shuyi leaned over and hugged Li Zhan's waist, buried her face in his chest and said:
"I don't care about being a concubine."
"I've been living in the palace and have seen too many concubines competing for favor. I'm tired of it..."
"Now that I can enter the Regent's Palace and stay away from the palace fighting, I am already very happy."
Li Zhan's hand suddenly fell on her neck, his big hand tightened slightly, and the man's cold voice sounded above her head.
"Is your purpose that simple?"
Shen Shuyi looked up at him, confused, and saw the veins throbbing on his forehead.
"I didn't think that much about it."
"Your Majesty, are you feeling unwell?"
Li Zhan smelled her fragrance again, but it was not enough, so he subconsciously took a deep breath.
He loosened his hand, but the delicate touch seemed to still be on his fingertips.
"Little princess, take your hands away."
He was not used to being so close to a woman, even if it was just to relieve his headache.
Shen Shuyi did not disobey him and let go of his hand obediently, but asked tentatively.
"Your Majesty, are you unable to sleep because of a headache?"
"Can I give you a massage? My grandmother has a headache and can't sleep well, so I specially asked Taiyi for massage techniques. After I gave her a massage, she slept much better."
