Chapter 501 [Small Eyes]
Jiang Lili clung to Xin Che like an octopus, and said in a wronged tone, "What happened today wasn't because I was fickle. I really just came here to get together with Guan Yue."
After she said that, she put her arms around Xin Che's neck again, stood on tiptoe, and kissed his cheek.
Xin Che didn't expect the girl to become so bold. He quickly stopped her and held her neck. His face flushed and he said in panic, "What are you doing? We're still on the street."
Jiang Lili shrugged innocently: "There's no one on the street, and it's dark."
She saw that this trick was very useful to Xin Che, so after she finished speaking, she tiptoed closer and said, "If you ignore me, I will keep kissing you."
Xin Che, who had excellent hearing, noticed three or two voices approaching in the distance. In a hurry, he picked up Jiang Lili, who was acting like a hooligan in the street, and used his lightness skills to bring her back to Prince Zhao's Mansion.
Jiang Lili, who was "flying" with Xin Che, didn't dare to do anything wrong anymore. She closed her eyes and hugged Xin Che tightly.
When the sound of the wind in their ears finally stopped, the two of them had already landed in Songhe Courtyard of Prince Zhao's Mansion.
After landing, Jiang Lili's courage suddenly came back and she moved closer to him.
"Alright, alright."
Xin Che was so annoyed by this clingy little fox that he pushed Jiang Lili to sit on the swing.
When Jiang Lili heard Xin Che's words, she tilted her head and asked happily, "Are you not angry with me anymore?"
Xin Che saw the dimple on Jiang Lili's face from her trick and pinched her cheek. "That's why I was so angry when I saw you."
"It's just that I'm not angry with you, but with those five annoying people."
He stared at Jiang Lili seriously, and what he said surprised Jiang Lili.
"It makes me so angry when I think about your attention being on other men."
Xin Che's eyes flickered, and he whispered, "Well, this is the first time I've discovered that I'm a very petty person."
When Jiang Lili heard Xin Che's words, she burst out laughing. The contrast between the jealous Xin Che really touched her heart!
She smiled maliciously, "During that sword dance performance, my attention wasn't on those five people, because I remembered something."
Xin Che looked puzzled: "What did you remember?"
Jiang Lili said nothing, but pulled Xin Che into the house. Then she took out a moon-white nightgown from the closet and stuffed it into his hands, then pushed him to the bathtub: "Take a shower first."
"Before I go out..."
Xin Che wanted to say that he had taken a shower and changed his clothes before going out, but he didn't want Li Li to know that he was so jealous, so he stopped talking and obediently took the clothes that Jiang Lili stuffed in his hand and went to take a shower.
Jiang Lili felt that she reeked of alcohol, but it was not advisable to take a bath after drinking, so she prepared to take a shower in the shower room. The modern shower head and water heater had been modified by Xin Cheng, a skilled craftsman, and had been installed in Prince Zhao's Mansion. A shower room was built on the side of the room where Jiang Lili and Xin Che slept.
The current living standard in Prince Zhao’s Mansion can be said to be better than that in the Imperial Palace.
He had already taken a shower before, and Xin Che bathed very quickly this time. When he changed into a moon-white bathrobe, he found that Jiang Lili was still in the shower room, so he leaned on the armchair and read a military book while waiting for her.
Suddenly he heard Jiang Lili scream in the shower room.
Xin Che quickly put down the military book and walked quickly to the shower room. "What's wrong?"
Jiang Lili looked at the shower head above her head that didn't produce water. Well, the ancient version of the shower head was still not as good as the modern one.
"Nothing, I was halfway through my shower when the water suddenly stopped flowing."
The temperature was a bit cool at night, so Jiang Lili wrapped a towel around herself.
"Can I take a look?"
The current situation is not a good time to let others repair it. Although Xin Che is not as proficient in Lu Ban's techniques as Xin Cheng, he also knows a thing or two. He needs to grasp the overall situation of the battlefield and learn a little bit of everything.
"Okay. Come in."
Jiang Lili didn't know why she felt shy at this moment since they weren't even newlyweds.
She opened the door reluctantly.
Xin Che walked into the shower room. There was still residual water mist in the shower room. Two people were squeezed into the small space, making the atmosphere suddenly become ambiguous.
Xin Che put the outer robe in his hand on Jiang Lili, then began to check the shower pipe, and finally slapped it hard at the place where the two pipes were connected.
After just tapping it hard, the shower head still didn't respond.
He looked puzzled, stood under the shower, looked up, and touched the shower head with his hand.
At this moment, water gushed out from the shower head, soaking Jiang Lili and Xin Che who were standing under the shower head.
Jiang Lili saw that Xin Che, who had been so meticulous and in good spirits just a moment ago, was suddenly soaked like a drowned rat, and she laughed out loud in a very unkind way.
The shower head above his head was still spewing water, and the warm water wet Xin Che's moon-white robe.
Because of his height and large size, he absorbed most of the showerhead's water.
Jiang Lili was still gloating.
"So happy?"
Xin Che put his arms around Jiang Lili's waist, pulling him close to him so that the water from the shower head could reach Jiang Lili.
The transparent white cloth stuck to Xin Che's body, outlining his chest and abdominal muscles. Water was constantly dripping from the tip of Xin Che's nose and chin, and his wet hair stuck to his forehead.
Their skin touched each other through the thin clothes, and the warm water flowed over them, making Jiang Lili's already red face even redder.
She suddenly climbed up to Xin Che with a red face, put her head on his chest, bit Xin Che's wet collar with her pearly teeth, and whispered softly: "Did you also deliberately get water on yourself before?"
"Seduced me?"
Jiang Lili looked up at Xin Che, her small hands rubbing his firm abdominal muscles, her eyes filled with sinisterness and mockery.
The little tricks he used to pursue his wife in the past were now exposed. Xin Che's wet lips slightly curved up, and he lowered his head to suck on Jiang Lili's soft earlobe: "It's the same now."
His hot breath sprayed on Jiang Lili's ear, and his teeth bit it lightly: "I deliberately seduced you."
The coat Jiang Lili was wearing got wet and became heavy, and then it slipped to the ground.
Her back was pressed against the wall of the shower room. Xin Che intertwined his fingers with hers and pressed the back of her hand against the wall.
As the temperature in the shower room rose, it gradually became misty.

late at night.
Inside the Golden Palace.
Emperor Qingning was still reading by lamplight at night.
"Your Majesty! The leader of the Wulin Alliance has sent a message. Please review it."
Zhou Jushan presented a letter to Emperor Qingning: "Do you remember the first time we sent martial arts masters to attack Prince Zhao's mansion? Two of the nine martial arts masters were injured and one died?"
Emperor Qingning was painstakingly planning the execution of Prince Zhao's family at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet. When he heard Zhou Jushan's words, he raised his head from a pile of waste paper with dark circles under his eyes.
