The arrogant emperor bent down at this moment, looking Jiang Li in the eye, waiting for her answer expectantly and cautiously.
Jiang Li looked at him straight, even in the dark corner, her eyes were still bright and watery, like crushed starlight, shining directly into Shen Tingsi's heart.
Without waiting for Jiang Li to answer, Shen Tingsi said, "Li'er, you don't have to tell me the answer now. The rest of your life is long. I can give you enough time."
In the end, Shen Tingsi was still afraid, afraid of hearing a rejection from Jiang Li.
As a wise ruler admired by thousands of people, Shen Tingsi was majestic and powerful on the battlefield and in the court. But now he has become a coward in love and doesn't even have the courage to listen to Jiang Li's answer.
It was his first time to fall in love and he treasured this friendship. Even if the final result might be bad, it would become the most precious memory in his heart.
Therefore, Shen Tingsi did not want to use the imperial power to force Jiang Li to do anything. What he wanted was for her to be clear-headed and give an answer after careful consideration.
"What a night it is to see such a good person, Li'er, I am delighted with you."
Shen Tingsi looked at Jiang Li with burning eyes and said to her what he had been holding back in his heart for a long time.
Looking at the man so close to her, Jiang Li clenched her hands, her heart was pounding.
"Choose one person to spend the rest of your life with, grow old together. Li'er, this is the promise I made to you. Whether you are my queen or my wife, I hope that the person who stays by my side is you."
I want you, and only you.
Shen Tingsi's voice was very soft, but the promise he made was extremely heavy.
The king never jokes, and every word he says counts. From the first moment he saw Jiang Li, there was no room for anyone else in his eyes.
Shen Tingsi clasped his hands on Jiang Li's shoulders and confided his true feelings to her. After he finished speaking, he straightened his back, not wanting to put any pressure or burden on Jiang Li.
"Li'er, it's getting late, go back and get some rest."
Shen Tingsi took the initiative to speak, interrupting the quiet atmosphere between the two, and did not mention the promise again.
Jiang Li also came back to her senses from her absent-mindedness. She opened her red lips slightly and said to Shen Tingsi, "It's getting late. Your Majesty should go back soon."
A trace of desolation flashed across Shen Tingsi's eyes, and he nodded: "Okay, it's late, I'll watch you go back."
Jiang Li hesitated for a moment, then turned and walked towards the Jiang Mansion.
Shen Tingsi walked out from the shadow of the dark corner and looked at Jiang Li in front of him in the moonlight shining down from above his head.
He didn't turn around and leave until Jiang Li walked to the gate of Jiang Mansion.
There were groups of people walking on the street, including couples, children, and old people. Their joyful laughter echoed in Shen Tingsi's ears, but none of this joy had anything to do with him.
Everyone was walking towards home together, except Shen Tingsi, who was walking in the opposite direction from them. He was alone and out of tune with the hustle and bustle around him.
Shen Tingsi had a blank expression on his face, and couldn't tell what he was feeling at the moment.
It feels astringent and very uncomfortable.
It was still the street with flowers on both sides, but Shen Tingsi's mood at this moment was completely different from when he came here just now.
Just as he took a deep breath and wanted to quicken his pace to escape from this hustle and bustle that did not belong to him, a clear voice came from behind him.
"I do."
After hearing the familiar voice, Shen Tingsi's eyes lit up, he suddenly stopped, and his whole body tensed up.
The moment he paused, Jiang Li slowly walked behind him, looked at him with a smile, and repeated what she had just said.
"A Si, I am willing to go back to the palace with you."
Shen Tingsi turned around stiffly and saw Jiang Li with her hands behind her back, looking at him with a smile.
Shen Tingsi looked at her in disbelief, somewhat unable to believe his ears. His mouth was slightly open for a long time before he found his voice.
Jiang Li's eyes curved with a smile, and under Shen Tingsi's gaze, she slowly spoke: "I said I am willing to go back to the palace with His Majesty."
After hearing this, the loneliness in Shen Tingsi's eyes disappeared instantly, and his brows were filled with joy.
He walked towards Jiang Li, continuing to close the distance between them, and then leaned over and clasped Jiang Li's shoulders with both hands.
"Li'er, I didn't hear you clearly. Can you please say it again?"
Jiang Li looked helpless, she tiptoed close to Shen Tingsi's ear and repeated what she had just said word for word.
"Your Majesty, did you hear clearly this time?"
Jiang Li tilted her head to look at Shen Tingsi, and was about to move her body back to her original position, but Shen Tingsi moved his hands that were clasped on her shoulders down and domineeringly held her waist.
"I am very happy that Li'er agreed to go back to the palace with me. I am very happy!"
Shen Ting laughed out loud, picked up Jiang Li, and performed the magic of love and spun around under the crabapple tree full of beautiful flowers.
Jiang Li, whose feet were instantly lifted off the ground, exclaimed, "A Si, put me down, put me down!"
Shen Tingsi raised his eyes to look at Jiang Li, who was a head taller than him, and said with a smile: "No, I will never let you go in this lifetime."
When Shen Tingsi was alone, he did not attract the attention of passers-by, but now the scene of the two of them hugging each other under the crabapple flowers attracted everyone to look back.
"Tsk tsk tsk, the young people nowadays!"
A middle-aged man looked at Shen Tingsi and Jiang Li and joked twice, and the next moment he was pushed by the woman next to him.
"Go away, you ignorant fool! Apart from carrying me down from the wedding sedan on our wedding day, when have you ever carried me on your back or hugged me?"
The big man who was scolded by his wife scratched his head in dismay and tried to defend himself: "But wife, you never told me to carry you on your back or hug you..."
"How dare you talk back? If I don't tell you, you won't do it? I don't know how I was so blind to fall in love with you in the first place!"
The woman thought back to her journey over the years and became angrier and angrier. Finally, she twisted the big man's arm.
"It hurts, it hurts, my dear, let go, let go quickly!"
Twisting the big man's arm was not enough to vent her anger, so the woman raised her foot and stomped on the big man's instep.
“Ouch!”
The big man jumped up in pain, and the woman rolled her eyes at him and walked forward angrily.
"Wife, wife, wait for me!"
Finally, the big man ignored the pain in his instep and limped after her, finally passing the woman and squatting in front of her.
The woman whose road was blocked asked angrily, "What are you doing?"
The big man turned his head and smiled: "Don't you want me to carry you on your back, wife? Come on, get on, I'll carry you home!"
The woman didn't hesitate, she bent down and lay on the big man's back, humming: "That's better!"
Although the woman refused to give in, the corners of her mouth turned up when she lay on the big man's back.
Every couple gets along differently, and every man has a different temperament. Some are sensitive and can detect the emotions of their partner, while others are careless and cannot figure out what their partner is thinking.
Since you are husband and wife, you can say whatever you want to say. Men need to be trained well so that they can learn to be more discerning!
The next picture has a kiss. If it is stuck, it will be released after midnight. Don’t wait, my dears, watch it tomorrow!
