Gifted Bride of the Sinned Prince

“Let me sleep,” he said, and covered his face with the blanket. He moved to the other side of the bed, close to the wall so that she would not trouble him anymore.

Li Hua climbed onto the bed and shook him, but Lóng Wei didn’t listen to her. She thought to pull the blanket again, but her futile attempt went in vain in front of his strength.

“We will get scolded for reaching... Ahhhh!!” She couldn’t finish her sentence and screamed as Lóng Wei drew her inside the blanket.

He hugged her tightly and inhaled the scent that was coming from her hair. “Let’s sleep peacefully. They can wait for a while,” he whispered.

“We cannot make His and Her Majesty wait for us. That’s wrong,” Li Hua said.

“Nothing is wrong, Wifey,” Lóng Wei said, and he pulled her closer to him. Her back hit his chest while his face was buried in the crook of her neck.

“It’s uncomfortable for me, Your Highness. My earrings and head accessories...” Lóng Wei immediately let go of her and threw away the blanket. Li Hua immediately sat up and he looked at her.

He also got up and pushed away the hair to check if he hurt her ears. To his surprise, she had not put on any accessories.

.....

“Did you lie to me?” He looked hurt.

“That was the only way to wake His Highness up,” Li Hua replied, yanking his hands away. She asked the maidservant to come inside. In a few seconds, she came and took away the blanket.

“Now, His Highness shall freshen up, take a bath, and then get ready for the morning greetings,” Li Hua told him.

He clicked his tongue and flipped her on the mattress. He hovered over her and pinned her hands above her head. Li Hua twisted her wrists, which were tightly held by him.

“Your Highness, leave me,” she urged, and found he had completely restricted her movements.

“I will punish you for lying to me,” Lóng Wei said, and leaned in for a kiss when Li Hua pursed her lips tightly. She shook her head. Lóng Wei let go of her hands and sat up.

“You hurt me here,” Lóng Wei said, and put his hand on the left side of his chest. “It hurts badly,” he said while pouting.

Li Hua smiled to hear from him and asked him to go to the washroom.

“Will you not help me today? Why did you bathe already?” Lóng Wei whined like a child as he clutched her arm.

“I have been waking up to His Highness for more than an hour,” Li Hua said, and patted his cheek. “He shall not delay anymore. Go to the washroom and then take a nice bath. His Highness can move his arms well, so I do not need to help him,” she said.

Lóng Wei exhaled deeply and nodded his head. “I am leaving,” he said, and got down from the bed. Li Hua shook her head and went to her chamber to get ready.

Once she got ready, she went to see if Lóng Wei was ready to go to the hall, where everyone would soon gather.

Lóng Wei sprayed the perfume to his neck and took a deep breath. “I feel so fresh,” he said, and complimented his looks while looking in the mirror.

He saw the reflection of Li Hua in the mirror and turned to her. As usual, he was mesmerized to see her. Today she wore a white Hanfu dress, which had a beautiful dress with red flowers imprinted on it.

“Why didn’t His Highness ask me to tie the bandage around his back?” Li Hua suddenly questioned him.

“I called Peng Yuxian. I needed to discuss something important with him as well,” Lóng Wei answered.

She nodded at him. “Shall we go?” She didn’t want to be late today.

Lóng Wei hummed and walked up to her. He kissed her lips and stood straight. “You look pretty today. How am I going to take my eyes off of you the entire day?” He complimented her and pinched her soft cheeks.

The maidservant who was near the door smiled to hear them, but she quickly hid her smile.

Li Hua’s cheeks flushed red. His words made her shy when he held her hand. “Let us go, Dear Wife,” he said, and they both went to the hall.

As they reached outside the corridor of the hall, they encountered Jingfei, who didn’t look in a good state. It seemed she cried the entire night for some reason. Before Li Hua could ask Jingfei, she walked in.

“You don’t need to care about her. Just worry about me,” Lóng Wei said.

“I think Commander Huang Xi said something to the First Princess. I remember him telling me that he didn’t like the First Princess,” Li Hua said.

“Why was he discussing his love interest with you?” Lóng Wei mumbled. “It’s good that he doesn’t like Jingfei. She doesn’t deserve him,” he said with annoyance.

Li Hua tilted her head to peer at him. “Your Highness, one-sided feelings hurt badly. You must not speak this way,” she said.

“Do you want to argue with me on this pleasant morning regarding a third person?” His eyebrow arched. Li Hua shook her head and pulled her hand back.

“We shall head in,” Lóng Wei said, and they both entered the hall. It had been a long time since they last came to greet the King, the Queen, and the Consorts.

They took their seats after the formal greetings, and the tea was served to them.

“Prince Lóng Wei looks in the pink of health,” Noble Consort Xiuying said.

“I have recovered from the injury thanks to my wife’s treatment,” Lóng Wei replied, and glanced at Li Hua. He returned his gaze to Xiuying and said, “The Second mother must be disappointed to see me in this healthy condition.”

Qiu Zedong told Lóng Wei not to start in the morning. Lóng Wei looked at Mingquan, who gave him a warm smile. He had yet to apologize to Mingquan as he got punished because of him.
