Quick Wear: BE cannon fodder does not follow the routine

Chapter 189: Marrying the Princess (22)

Just as Gu Yuxi washed up, undressed, and opened the bed curtains to prepare for sleep, she saw a figure on the couch. She lowered her head and saw a pair of men's shoes at the foot of the bed.

These shoes looked familiar. They were both in the carriage during the day, and this man came to her bed at night.

There was no one to serve in her boudoir at night. Cuihong and others waited outside the room or in the side room. This has been the norm in recent years.

Perhaps it was the dazzling candlelight, the man on the bed moved, opened his eyes, and met Gu Yuxi's eyes.

He curled the corners of his mouth and felt that Gu Yuxi, who was about to fall asleep, was as white and tender as a freshly peeled egg, and she still smelled good.

"Why are you here? Are you trying to be a thief?"

"Xi'er, I came here to give you the jade. I got tired of waiting for you, so I fell asleep on the bed."

"Just ask someone to bring it over. It's not safe at night."

The man was startled, then smiled and asked, "Do you care about me?"

"Yes."

"I'm glad to see if you like it."

Gu Yuxi saw He Tuchi take out two small boxes, open the boxes, and start to use the jades to measure her body.

"These night-shining pearls are a little small, but it's inconvenient for me to carry them along. I'll give them to you when you get to Hejiang. This is the only way I can compensate you for your jade ring."

"Are you sure you want to pay that much?"

"A lot? Not much at all. If you like something, I'll have people look for it. Pearls, emeralds, agates, jade, etc., whatever you like."

"Only children make choices. I like them all."

"I knew it, so I brought a little bit of everything here for you to see first."

He Tuchi opened the box and looked at Gu Yuxi's sparkling eyes. He smiled. His fiancée liked gold, silver and jewelry just like him.

"Xi'er, this is a gold necklace inlaid with emeralds that are unique to our Hejiang region. It looks very beautiful on you."

Soon, Gu Yuxi was wearing gold and silver jewelry around her neck and wrists. The man was in high spirits, but he still added weight to her, which was really a burden of happiness.

“This bead is beautiful.”

He Tuchi put a pearl bracelet on Gu Yuxi's hand and couldn't help but kiss it.

Gu Yuxi smiled evilly and asked, "Does it look good?"

"You look good. You are the best looking. I am not bad either."

After a while, Gu Yuxi rubbed her eyes, and He Tuchi took off the things from her body.

"Xi'er, these are all yours, put them here."

Without answering, the man who put the box away turned his head and saw Gu Yuxi sleeping on the bed. Only now did he realize that the clothes were thin and his ears felt hot.

He took the quilt from behind him and covered Gu Yuxi with it. Then, somehow, he lay down beside Gu Yuxi, shared the pillow with her, and finally held her in his arms.

Before dawn, Gu Yuxi was awakened by suffocation and difficulty breathing. When she opened her eyes, she saw a man holding her and kissing her madly.

Seeing the person in his arms wake up, He Tuchi stopped and asked nervously: "Xi'er, did I disturb you?"

"What do you say?"

"Sorry, it's getting late. I'll be leaving soon."

"Stop kissing me, I haven't washed up yet."

"I do not mind."

After saying that, He Tuchi kissed her again. This time he couldn't bear it. After a long time of tenderness, he said, "Xi'er, I know you don't want to attend the gathering in the palace. I'll send Sheng Baru over later, so you don't have to go."

"how about you?"

"I...but I can't come and go in and out of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion at will. How about we go to the palace?"

Gu Yuxi smiled and whispered in his ear, "If I don't go, aren't you afraid that the envoys from other countries will have opinions?"

"So what if they have objections? I just met some new ladies from official families today. Anyway, Xi'er, you are my fiancée."

"Then I won't go. See you tomorrow evening."

"so long?"

"Soon?"

"It's okay, I'll come back in the evening."

The man got out of bed and put on his shoes. When he turned around, the woman looked at him lazily with a dazed look. He couldn't help but lean over and kissed her forehead, saying, "I'm leaving."

Xiaoyao Palace...

"Is the princess ready to eat?"

"Princess, the princess is worried, it will be fine once she figures it out."

"Forget it, this is fate. Ever since Caiyun married Xili, Qingcheng has no one to talk to. She is bored."

Princess Xiaoyao reminded: "Don't forget to ask the princess to get ready. People from the palace will be here soon."

After he left, Li Qingcheng in her boudoir only heard the maid push open the door, and she just glanced at him indifferently.

"Princess, it's time to wash up."

After regaining his composure, Li Qingcheng asked, "What kind of makeup is that person in the Loyal and Brave Marquis' Mansion wearing today?"

"My lord, the imperial edict of conferring the title has already been delivered. The envoys from Hejiang have directly requested that their Khan do not need to attend such gatherings of unmarried men and women."

Li Qingcheng felt a surge of jealousy. It was all Gu Yuxi's fault. If she hadn't woken up halfway, she wouldn't have been captured by Dongli's secret guards and would have to watch that bitch Chen Caiyun marry Meng Heyun.

What Gu Yuxi said was correct: Chen Caiyun stayed in Xiaoyao Palace on purpose, and by the time she found out, she had already been liked by many people in the palace.

What was even more despicable was that when Xili attacked Dongli, Chen Caiyun petitioned for marriage on her own initiative in order to seek peace between the two countries. Afterwards, she was grandly canonized and left the Xiaoyao Palace in a swagger.

"Those rough guys changed their tune first, but they are just a foreign tribe, and Gu Yuxi's eyesight is really bad."

"Your Highness is right. Hou Jin is better than Hejiang anyway."

"Taking the initiative to marry that 70-year-old man is just courting death."

"You are right, Gu Yuxi's eyes are not good."

With the comparison, Li Qingcheng felt much more relaxed. Looking at the person in the mirror, she felt that there was no way she could lose to Gu Yuxi.

Why did His Majesty want her to learn from that bitch Gu Yuxi? Now Li Qingcheng felt that it was because Gu Yuxi agreed to the marriage proposal of the envoy from Hejiang that she offended the envoy from Later Jin.

"The imperial edict for conferring the title arrived at the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's residence this morning. I didn't expect that her position is higher than the one who went to Xili."

"Princess Jieyou? With Gu Yuxi's temper, she will suffer in the future."

"That's right, Princess." The maid suddenly remembered something and said, "Princess, the envoys from the Later Jin Dynasty have come to Your Majesty's attention and told him to hold off on conferring you the title of Princess of Peace, fearing that you might run away halfway."

Snapped!

The maid covered her face and knelt on the ground and said, "Princess, please forgive me. I was talking too much."

Li Qingcheng said directly: "Slap ten times."

"You lowly thing, why do you want to boost others' morale and destroy your own prestige? You deserve to be beaten."

"My Lady, I know I was wrong."

Li Qingcheng said coldly: "Sold it! You are a traitorous dog slave."

The other maids pulled the man aside and slapped him in the face. Li Qingcheng tightly grasped the hairpin in her hand, with no place to vent her anger.

"Gu Yuxi, just wait for me! I will definitely bring ruin to your reputation."

Li Qingcheng's face was distorted. Even if it was a marriage for a foreign country, her appearance could not be left behind.
