C99 Gift

"Princess Hua-Yang really isn't just casually practising her moves." His cold voice rang out in her ears. He twisted both of her arms behind her back, and then directly leaned on her body.

Was he trying to crush her? Gu Qingli felt a little breathless. With his mountain-like pressure, what made her feel even more unbearable was the manly aura he exuded, and the warm breath he was giving in her ear.

She even felt that his breathing carried a faint yet elegant fragrance. It was warm and pleasant, and she didn't know where it came from.

"You … You aren't trying to kill me, are you? " She looked directly at him.

"Where did the wangfei go today?"

She rolled her eyes and sneered. "Is there anything I can hide from you?" Of course, she believed that Xuanhua Pavilion was a safe place, as it was also Warm Fragrance's territory.

He said in a low voice, "The Princess went all over the main thoroughfare and bought a bunch of things... And then, they were all thrown in Xuanhua Tower, what kind of place is that, for the wangfei to be stuck in there for so long? "

"What kind of place is that, does Your Highness not know?" She knew instantly what he was thinking, and she was annoyed and amused at the same time. What was he mad at? Was she going to Xuanhua Tower?

"It is one of the biggest gold selling caves in the capital, the favorite place for royalty and nobles to go." Her charming eyes were full of hope, and her smile was concealed. "Could it be that the Prince is also a regular customer?"

Xiao Yixiu's expression instantly became icy cold. He gritted his teeth and stared at her, "I'm an honored guest. Are you happy?"

She smiled. He suddenly realized that he had been led astray by her and coldly snorted. "You, a woman, are going there on official business?"

"Yes." Gu Qingli's smile gradually faded. "Your highness can see everything, so you should know where I left Yuli."

"Why?"

"Nothing, shopping, I don't have the money to pay the bill. Sell her and exchange it for some money." She played it lightly, as if it were just a joke.

"What did she do?"

"Your highness wants to know, go ask her yourself at Xuanhua Tower." Gu Qingli raised an eyebrow. Would he go? To hear the truth about the holiday? But she knew that it was impossible for him to set foot in a place like Xuanhua Tower.

But he rose from her, his tone softer, clearly believing her words: "Since you've dismissed her, there's always a reason for you. "She's someone you brought from the Gu Estate. It's not good for me to interfere with how you're going to punish her."

Gu Qingli was very surprised. This was the first time he had shown such trust towards her. Could it be that the sun was rising from the west today?

"It's just that you didn't buy anything for This King after strolling around for an entire day?"

What did he want her to buy? She bit her lower lip as she stared at him. She stood up with some reluctance and went to the table to unfold the small bag she had brought back.

Inside, there was a man's satin gown. It was a moon-white in color, and the sleeves of his sleeves were beautifully embroidered. Beneath the clothes, there were even blue ripples embroidered on the bottom.

"Did you really buy this for This King?" He had only casually mentioned it, but he didn't expect it to be true.

"And this." She pressed a butter paper packet under her coat into his hand.

Xiao Yi Xiu curiously spread it open. His face looked like he didn't know what to say. "This …"

Gu Qingli lazily turned her head to look, but her expression was a bit stiff. She forced a smile. "I wasn't paying attention, but I was too pressured …"

A packet of chestnut cake was crushed into pieces and scattered within the paper bag. From the looks of it, it couldn't be eaten. She wanted to take it away from him, but he withdrew his hand and placed a small piece into his mouth, slowly tasting it. His expression seemed to have an endless taste, even slightly narrowing his phoenix-like eyes in satisfaction, a trace of a smile appearing on his face.

"You're still eating?"

"It doesn't taste too good, but the wangfei bought it. It's still a little sweet." He glanced at her as he ate. "It seems that this is the first time the wangfei has bought something for me."

Hearing his regretful tone, her heart suddenly softened. She smiled and said, "I'll cook for you when I have time. My cooking skills are not for show."

"Royal Consort … "You even know how to cook?"

This wangfei knows a lot, how much do you know? She glared at him, then shook off her clothes and said as casually as she could, "Come and try it."

He was used to her awkward, distant tone, so he took off his coat and put it on in the open gown she held in her hand.

"It's rather fitting. Princess, do you know how big This King is?"

Gu Qingli suddenly felt that his words sounded like a double entendre, so she couldn't help but glance at him again. She actually thought of some bad things … There was a profound look in his eyes, as if that was what she was thinking.

Her face suddenly turned red. Annoyed, she closed the front of his shirt and stopped buttoning it down for him. "Wear it yourself."

But he smiled silently, and with an indescribable feeling in his heart, he took her in his arms, bent his face, and kissed her soft lips.

"Prince, are you inside?" Outside the courtyard, Li Yue's soft and weak voice sounded.

Yu Ying's urgent and low voice sounded as if she was trying to explain.

The two people in the room looked at each other, their expressions subtly changing.

On the other hand, the people outside the courtyard clearly saw the two figures that seemed to have merged into one as they slowly separated from each other.

Yu Ying looked embarrassed, and peeked at Li Yue from time to time, but other than Li Yue's eyes that were exposed on the red silk, no other expression could be made out.

The pair of intoxicating eyes that could hold the entire galaxy, at this moment, was filled with a heart biting jealousy and hatred.

Yu Ying even saw the flashing light.

"Your Miss Li Yue has arrived." Gu Qing Li's voice was full of mockery, and her expression instantly turned cold.

"Open the door." Xiao Yixiu hurriedly buttoned his shirt. He was still wearing the long sleeves that Gu Qingli had just bought, even his front collar was loose. It was hot in spring and summer, and all that was left was a thin shirt.

"If you want to go, go by yourself. It's not like you're looking for me." Gu Qingli waved her sleeve, feeling even more unhappy. Was it a demonstration or something, for a young man to brazenly come to the front door of the main room? Of course she wouldn't open the door.

Xiao Yi Xiu felt quite helpless. He put on his clothes, tidied himself up, and then went to open the door.

Li Yue stood outside the door, her eyes suddenly glazed over as she stared at his face.

Xiao Yixiu subconsciously touched his cheek, wondering what was so strange about him.

Li Yue bit her lower lip as her eyelids drooped, but she quickly changed to a smile. "Your highness, Li Yue is thinking of old matters. If Your highness is free, why don't you accompany me to Xiaoyao's garden for a chat?"

Xiao Yi Xiu nodded. He turned his head to look at Gu Qing Li. She was sitting on the edge of the bed with her back facing him and her shoulders seemed to slightly shrug. His heart skipped a beat. He almost wanted to stay, but a soft hand appeared in the crook of his arm. It held him and said softly, "Let's go."

It was only when they left that Gu Qingli finally turned around. She couldn't hold back the smile in her eyes; it was filled with a vengeful cunning and craftiness. She bought so much cosmetics today that she asked Du Ying to apply some makeup on herself before coming back.

Xiao Yixiu kissed her lips, which inevitably had a bit of rouge on them. He also emitted a faint fragrance of osmanthus flowers. If she didn't look, she could imagine Gu Qingxiao's distorted face beneath the red muslin veil.
