Shen Tingsi put Jiang Li on the ground, but his big hand was still around her waist.

With a smile on his lips, he looked at Jiang Li tenderly, as if afraid that she would escape from him. He hooked his arms around her waist more and more tightly until Jiang Li's body was pressed tightly against his chest.

"Li'er, this is the promise you made to me. Once you make a promise, you can't go back on it. Are you willing to do this?"

Shen Tingsi stared at Jiang Li without blinking, trying to find any hesitation on her face.

Jiang Li raised her eyebrows and said without hesitation: "Of course, a gentleman's word is as good as his bond. If you don't believe me, let's make a pinky promise."

As she spoke, she stretched out her little finger, intending to make a pinky promise with Shen Tingsi. However, their bodies were pressed tightly together at the moment, and there was no space at all for her to extend her little finger in front of Shen Tingsi.

"I believe it. I believe whatever Li'er says."

Shen Tingsi lowered his eyes and looked at Jiang Li, her face reflected in his pupils, and he smiled in a worthless manner.

Looking at Shen Tingsi's worthless look, Jiang Li coughed twice. No, no one told her that Emperor Chu was still a love-brained man!

Just when Shen Tingsi was feeling happy about Jiang Li's promise to him, Jiang Li suddenly frowned.

"But I was the wife of a powerful official, and you are a wise ruler admired by the world. Our statuses are different. If I follow Your Majesty back to the palace, I am afraid it will damage Your Majesty's wisdom."

Jiang Li suddenly remembered this matter. Now that she has divorced Zhou Qingyuan, remarrying would be considered a second marriage. If she married someone else, it might not be a big deal, but Shen Tingsi was the emperor, and every decision he made was watched by the world.

If the world knew that their Majesty married the wife of a powerful official, they would probably object to this decision, which would damage his image as a wise monarch.

Shen Tingsi held Jiang Li's waist and said seriously, "I have made up my mind to welcome Li'er back to the palace. Even if it leaves a stain in the history books, I will welcome the girl I like into the palace."

"Li'er, no matter the abuse or doubts, I will bear them all. Just follow me into the palace peacefully and become my queen and wife. How about that?"

Shen Tingsi's eyes were serious. As the emperor, how could he not have thought about the consequences? But he had made up his mind to bring Jiang Li into the palace, and no one could change this decision.

Even if it leaves a stain in the history books, he will not waver in the slightest.

His pears are worth it.

With Shen Tingsi's comfort, Jiang Li finally suppressed her worries. The two walked together under the crabapple tree. The night breeze lifted the black hair behind Jiang Li.

After seeing Jiang Li's long black hair blown by the gentle breeze, Shen Tingsi suddenly remembered that there was something he had not given her.

"Li'er, I have something to give you."

Shen Tingsi paused and took the hairpin out of his arms.

Jiang Li was a little surprised when she saw the hairpin in his hand. She didn't expect that Shen Tingsi actually bought her a hairpin just because she stopped in front of the jewelry stall for a while during the day just to hide her embarrassment.

"I'll put it on Li'er."

Shen Tingsi turned around and stood opposite Jiang Li, inserting the hairpin into her bun.

Jiang Li raised her hand and touched the hairpin inserted into her bun, then looked up at Shen Tingsi: "Does it look good?"

The girl's smile was as beautiful as a flower, which made Shen Tingsi a little dazed.

"Yeah, it looks good."

His throat was hoarse and low, and the scene of the two of them in Zuixianlou appeared in his mind again.

Looking at Jiang Li's pink lips that were more delicate than flowers, Shen Tingsi's Adam's apple slid unconsciously, and then he leaned over and moved closer.

Buzz——

The moment the warm thin lips touched her, Jiang Li's brain went blank instantly! She stared at the face enlarged in her pupils with wide eyes. Shen Tingsi had closed his eyes, his crow-like eyelashes drooped, and he was seriously absorbing the sweetness on her lips.

At first he just pressed his thin lips against Jiang Li's lips, but gradually he was no longer satisfied with that, so he easily pried open Jiang Li's mouth and took possession of her sweetness more deeply.

Jiang Li stood there in a daze, allowing her entire mind to be gradually occupied by Shen Tingsi.

While taking a breath, Shen Tingsi opened his mouth slightly: "Li'er, concentrate."

The magnetic voice came into Jiang Li's ears and pulled her back from her shock. After meeting Shen Tingsi's gaze, Jiang Li quickly closed her eyes, and the hand around Shen Tingsi's waist unconsciously grabbed his robe.

The delicate pink crabapple flowers fell in the wind, and the surrounding scenery became a backdrop for the two of them.

The kiss was long and Jiang Li's face turned as red as a ripe apple.

Just when Shen Ting was still unsatisfied and wanted to deepen the kiss, Jiang Li pushed him away.

"Well, it's getting late, go back quickly, good night!"

After she finished speaking, she lifted her skirt and turned to run towards the Jiang Mansion. Looking at Jiang Li's fleeing back, Shen Tingsi chuckled and watched Jiang Li step into the Jiang Mansion before turning around and leaving.

The entire general's family was executed, and now Shen Tingsi and Feng Jue are temporarily living in the government office.

Li Huaian was ordered to succeed the post of governor of Jiangnan, and has now cleaned up the residence for Shen Tingsi.

The execution of the entire general's family is a foregone conclusion, and no further changes will occur. After returning to the government office, Shen Tingsi did not ask about the matter again and left it entirely to Li Huaian to handle.

After Shen Tingsi returned to the yard, Feng Jue, who was taking a nap on the roof, flew to him.

"The master is back!"

"Well, it was hard work today."

Shen Tingsi responded indifferently, then walked towards the room.

Feng Jue's eyes widened in astonishment: "?"

The master seemed to be sympathizing with him just now? Weird!

It's really weird!

It's not that Shen Tingsi didn't care about his subordinates before, but Feng Jue felt that this was all part of his job, so why would it be hard? !

Something is wrong. Something is wrong. Something is very wrong with the master today!

Feng Jue shook his head, and this shake actually made something come out!

The master seemed to be smiling just now? Why was the master smiling foolishly when he came back from outside alone? ?

Could it be that...

Thinking of something, Feng Jue ran into the house!

When he came into the room, Shen Tingsi was sitting at the table drinking tea. Feng Jue strode forward, but it was not appropriate to ask about his master directly, so he had to inquire secretly.

"Congratulations, Master, for eliminating a major hidden danger lurking in the dark!"

Shen Tingsi remained calm and continued to sip his tea, not being bothered by the incident.

Feng Jue saw this and was sure that it was not this that pleased his master, so he tried again: "Master and Miss Jiang today..."

"Feng Jue, it's time to change your words. I want to make Li'er my queen."

Oh my god! Feng Jue shuddered and his eyes almost fell to the ground! "Master, are you serious?"

"Don't joke."

"Then, then, then, Jiang... do the Queen's parents know about this?"

I will reveal my identity tomorrow and go back to the palace to see my mother-in-law!
