Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 423 The Prince's Obsession (Part [-])
Xiaoyuan knelt without moving, she fell on the ground, her voice sounded a little hoarse and low, "I, I dare not..."

Li Yuqi looked at her with lowered eyes, his eyes were obscure.

Perhaps it was because of this identical face that he always thought of Shangguan Yuan these days.

The original Shangguan Yuan had the gracefulness of a Jiangnan woman and the pride of a famous lady. When she looked at herself, her eyes were full of shyness and admiration, as if looking at a unparalleled hero.

But this look quickly disappeared, and was replaced by indifference, distance, and pride and alienation in his bones, making people upset—why?She is an unfavored concubine, and all the women in the East Palace who have served her bed can sneer at her, so why is she so superior?

Why can I look at my husband with that kind of disdainful eyes?

She got a little white cat, which seemed to be given by Li Yan first, she cherishes the cat very much, and hugs it every day.I told her that I didn't like the cat's hair shedding and let her throw it away, but she refused, and since then I have not allowed myself to enter her bedroom.

How ridiculous... In the East Palace, there is actually a place that the prince of the East Palace cannot go to.

Since then, she stayed in her Chongren Hall without taking a single step, and he... never set foot in Chongren Hall again.

The not-so-high threshold seemed like a moat between the two of them.

I also sighed for a moment when I woke up in the middle of the night, but the sigh was still only fleeting, and I was submerged in the desire for power, and the rest was only infinite resentment - the world said that marrying a chicken follows a chicken, and marrying a dog Follow the dog, why didn't she bring the things that the Shangguan family guarded when she entered the East Palace?Just relying on that Shangguan family who can't hide from the world, what else can they accomplish?Do you still expect to be able to return to your hometown one day?
He didn't understand, so he became more and more resentful, more and more worried about her pride and alienation, and more and more wanted to trample the same face in front of him into the dust.

With heavy eyes, he fell on the thin back of the other party, Li Yuqi waved his hand slowly, making the servant beside him retreat.He slowly stood up from the chair, walked in front of the other party step by step, looked at him with his head down, and after a long while, he sighed softly, "Are you going to kneel down like this forever?" His words were soft, with a rare indulgence .

Xiaoyuan looked up.

Although she wears a face that is exactly the same as Shangguan Yuan's, her charm is completely different. She doesn't have that kind of frosty pride. When she looks up at you, her eyes are slightly hooked, rippling like autumn water, but she has a bit of it Innocent and wronged, a woman who is very good at showing weakness... And Li Yuqi wants to show weakness like this.

He had never wanted such a show of weakness from a woman before.

He squatted down slowly, hooked the opponent's chin, and looked at the face in front of him with the last bit of alcohol that hadn't dissipated, his eyes were so gentle that they were almost blurred, "I ask you, do you want to keep drinking?" Kneel down like this?" The evening breeze was gentle, and his voice was even gentler, and there was a tingling sensation in his ears, which made a fine layer of goose bumps appear all over his body.

And Xiaoyuan... in such gentleness, trembling like falling into an ice cellar, she shook her head cautiously, "No, I don't want to..."

"I don't want to..." Li Yuqi hooked the corners of his mouth, gently stroking the smooth brocade-like skin of the other party with his fingertips, "Since you don't want to, then tell me...why did you suddenly think of inviting me to drink that day?"

Li Yuqi suddenly couldn't remember the name of the one in the west courtyard of Nongyuzhu... There were several women with similar looks and personalities living in Nongyuzhu. He didn't remember their names, and he didn't need to remember them.That day he just casually picked up a woman from Nong Yuzhu, so why did he get someone with "bad intentions"?

It's such a coincidence.

"Just..." Xiaoyuan shivered, her eyes filled with tears, and she replied eagerly, "Just... Just what Miss Xiaoxi said, if I can't call His Highness out to drink, she, she will pick it up." Liao Nu's face..."

"Who is Xiaoxi?" Li Yuqi frowned and asked.Xiaoyuan seemed to be a little surprised, she looked up, her eyes were black and bright with tears, like two perfect black gemstones.Li Yuqi looked at his own shadow in the black gemstone, frowned and lowered his eyebrows, "What expression, I ask you, who is Xiaoxi?"

"Xiaoxi, sister Xiaoxi is... the woman His Highness took with him that day."

"Nongyuzhu Xikuan courtyard?"

"Yes, yes... I heard where sister Xiaoxi lives, but I have never been there, so I don't know much about it." She lives in a small courtyard closest to Chongren Hall. It is said that the yard of the property was "organized on purpose", her eyes dimmed, she bit the corner of her mouth and said, "Sister Xiaoxi said that slaves are just lowly servants, and they are not qualified to set foot in jade buildings..."

This woman usually hides from herself like a plague god, but this time she invited herself to drink because the sun came out from the west.If it is for this reason, it is understandable.

Li Yuqi lifted her chin, but she didn't dare to look over, she just lowered her eyes and looked resigned.Most of the scrutiny and suspicion in Li Yuqi's eyes dissipated, he smiled, "Do you want to get a jade building?"

"I don't want...not to be as clean as my slave's place."

"Heh..." Li Yuqi smiled, the meaning was unclear, he just looked at the woman who was docile like the little white cat under his hand, and suddenly felt a little playful in his heart, he said, "In that case... you should stay It's there. It's just that you don't need to call yourself a slave in the future, it sounds weird. Tomorrow, I will send someone to repair your place. Repairing the land is better than making jade..."

The fingertips hanging on the ground gently picked the dust in the cracks of the masonry, and Xiaoyuan bit her back teeth tightly to hold back the trembling caused by fear. She remained motionless, with her head lowered, "I am ...Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness."

Love?I'm afraid it's held up high, just to fall heavily...

"Heh..." Li Yuqi seemed very happy, he let go of the hand holding his chin and got up, waved his hand, "Go." His eyes were full of tenderness, and the clouds were calm and breezy.

Xiaoyuan knelt down on the ground, saluted, and only half rose and bowed out. Even though she had just received the great honor and favor, she still did not show too much joy or disrespect, and her gestures were still the same as before.

Can't pick out half of the mistakes.

Li Yuqi wiped his fingers, one by one, slowly and carefully, and at the same time raised his eyelids to see the back of the other party who still did not straighten up after crossing the threshold, with a smile on his face... You said, if you would have So obedient and cute, how wonderful...
