Shangguan Li paused for a few seconds, then said softly, "That's true..."
Yes, teasing Chu Qingxuan back then was just for fun, and also to deceive those people in the capital.
He's no longer in the capital, but just now he was subconsciously teasing Chu Qingxuan.
Has it already become a habit...?
"Have Bai Chen make arrangements to clear out a room for you. Tell him you are the strategist I met on the road, here to help me control the floods."
Chu Qingxuan was very satisfied with this solution. "Then thank you, Your Highness."
Shangguan Li stared at Chu Qingxuan's cheerful back, and Chu Qingxuan's smiling face flashed through his mind again.
He was stunned for a long time. Could it be that he really had become a homosexual?
His brows furrowed, and Chu Qingxuan's image remained in his mind.
He has no figure, and he's not as soft and fragrant as a woman when you hug him, so why would he like Chu Qingxuan?
Shangguan Li shook his head vigorously, trying to shake Chu Qingxuan's image out of his mind. "What am I thinking? He's a man."
Immediately afterwards, Shangguan Li chanted a spell to himself, constantly reminding himself that he was not a homosexual.
The consequence was that I didn't sleep all night.
He tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, until the early hours of the morning when Shangguan Li finally drifted off. Bai Chen woke him up the next day.
Shangguan Li sat up, straightened his clothes, and said to the person outside the door, "Come in."
Bai Chen pushed open the door and saw that his lord looked tired and listless. He couldn't help but ask, "Didn't Your Highness sleep well last night?"
Shangguan Li nodded slightly, "I didn't sleep well. By the way... has the Princess's accommodation been arranged?"
"Yes, I'll tell my men that the princess is the prince's strategist, and they can just call him Mr. Chu from now on."
"Okay, I understand." Shangguan Li rubbed his temples. "Have you found out anything about Lord Wang's matter?"
"Your Highness, I have checked and found that all the silver transported by the imperial court has arrived. Lord Wang has also bought grain and distributed it, but many people still starved to death."
Shangguan Li's expression darkened slightly, and he asked in a low voice, "Not enough silver?"
"yes!"
"Yes, I understand. You may leave now."
After Bai Chen left, Shangguan Li washed his face before going downstairs. As soon as he got downstairs, he saw a boy waving at him from not far away. The boy was backlit, with a bright smile on his face, and was calling his name.
Shangguan Li's eyes were deep and discerning as he strode over.
As soon as she sat down, Chu Qingxuan noticed that Shangguan Li's complexion was not good and asked in confusion, "Shangguan Li, you don't look well. Are you sick?"
Shangguan Li thought of what happened last night again, and his mood became agitated. He said coldly, "No."
Seeing Shangguan Li's expression, Chu Qingxuan's smile faded, and she shut her mouth.
I always thought that only women had a few days of bad temper each month, but I didn't expect that Shangguan Li also had it.
Since heading south, Chu Qingxuan clearly felt that Shangguan Li had changed a lot.
Chu Qingxuan glanced at Shangguan Li discreetly. His handsome face was so cold it looked like ice crystals were about to fall off. He was definitely in a bad mood.
After the meal, Chu Qingxuan sat "obediently" on the stool waiting for Shangguan Li. Seeing that Shangguan Li had finished eating, Chu Qingxuan cautiously asked, "Your Highness... have you calmed down?"
Shangguan Li slowly raised his eyes and saw Chu Qingxuan staring at him with her pure eyes, like a pet trying to please its owner.
Her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly. "You're calm now."
He really couldn't get angry at Chu Qingxuan like that.
