Chapter 515 - A Cute Prince
Chapter 515 – A Cute Prince
In the evening, Sheng Li and Ying Lili returned to the Imperial Palace. Sheng Li had told Ying Lili about Wang Hao, so after dropping her at the Zhenzhu Residence, Sheng Li left for Wang Hao's house to meet him.
As Sheng Li hopped on Kongqi, he found Lei Wanxi coming towards him. Lei Wanxi stopped by the left side of Kongqi and told Sheng Li to take him too.
"Kongqi does not allow anyone except me and Lili on it," Sheng Li affirmed. Sheng Li pulled the reins on Kongqi and scared Lei Wanxi.
"Brother, do not scare me off," Lei Wanxi stepped back and brought his arms near his face. Sheng Li laughed seeing Wanxi's reactions. "This is not the way Brother Sheng shall treat his younger Brother," Lei Wanxi complained.
"Go to your chamber or else go to Princess Zhu Lin. Spend time with her and then you can get married," Sheng Li teased Lei Wanxi a little. Kongqi neighed too and it made Sheng Li laugh more. "Even Kongqi wants you to spend time with Princess Zhu Lin," he said.
"Brother, don't tease me. Fine, I will not go with you. I will tell Sister Lili how you teased me. Then, she will hold my hands and you will get jealous," Lei Wanxi teased Sheng Li back, who stopped smiling.
"Wanxi, aren't you ashamed of doing that?" Sheng Li menacingly asked.
Lei Wanxi smirked. "I am not doing anything shameful. I am Sister Lili's younger brother," Lei Wanxi started teasing Sheng Li and then took backward steps. Waving at Sheng Li, Lei Wanxi walked away from his sight.
"Wanxi, don't do anything inappropriate else I will beat you," Sheng Li said loudly.
Lei Wanxi turned back and shook his head. "Brother Sheng, then I will make Sister Lili beat you," Lei Wanxi shouted. Sheng Li chuckled and then left for Wang Hao's house.
The Royal Guards quickly descended the stairs and bowed as they saw the Crown Prince. Sheng Li got down from Kongqi and walked inside the Wang Residence.
Wang Hao got the news about Sheng Li's arrival and came to the Courtyard. "Your Highness," Wang Hao bowed and lifted his head.
"Let's talk inside," Sheng Li told him and they walked inside the general hall. As they sat on the chaise, Sheng Li asked Wang Hao about Yin Na.
"She is resting. Thanks to the Crown Prince I brought her out of the hell," General Wang affirmed.
"You should have told me earlier. Wanxi happened to notice all that and told me to do something. It was Father, who passed the order," Sheng Li proclaimed.
"I have a job for you," Sheng Li said.
"Please give the order, Your Highness," Wang Hao stated.
"Prince Yongzheng is scheming against me. His network of spies is a little unknown to me. But be careful of him. He has not left any of his traits behind. So, you know how dangerous he could be," Sheng Li warned Wang Hao.
"I understand, Your Highness. It is sad to hear that Prince Yongzheng is still on that path," Wang Hao concluded.
"Wanxi saw the Second Prince handing a poison to a servant," Sheng Li stated. Wang Hao got worried to hear that.
"Crown Prince, I will look into it and will report you soon regarding this," Wang Hao assured Sheng Li, who hummed.
"Did Huo Jin leave?" Sheng Li asked him.
"Yes, Your Highness. Huo Jin left an hour ago. Huo Jin said that Prince Nianzu is afraid that his mother might try to harm you. He said that Empress Hui is not someone to be taken lightly," Wang Hao stated. Sheng Li agreed with those words.
"I know. I have kept my eyes on her. But before that I need to bring the Second Prince on the right path," Sheng Li said with a menacing expression.

Lei Wanxi came to his chamber and found Zhu Lin was waiting for him. "What are you doing here?" Lei Wanxi closed the fan in his hand and put it on the table.
"I have brought this fruit custard for Prince Wanxi," Zhu Lin answered, looking at the bowl on the table.
Lei Wanxi came near her and looked at the bowl. He removed the plate from it and a smile formed on his lips. "It is the first time someone made a special custard for me." Zhu Lin pulled out the chair for him and pushed him on it. She picked the spoon and handed it to Lei Wanxi.
"It is also my first time making it. It took me two hours," Zhu Lin informed him.
"I had not expected that you would cook something for me," Lei Wanxi stated and dipped the spoon in the custard. He took the first sip and widened his eyes. "Wonderful! I did not expect that you can cook," Lei Wanxi praised her and pulled a chair out that was next to him. He made Zhu Lin sit on it and forwarded a spoonful of custard towards her.
Zhu Lin opened her mouth a little and sipped the custard. To her surprise, it tasted awful. She made a weird face and asked for water. Lei Wanxi smiled upon seeing her and quickly poured water into a glass. Forwarding the glass to her, he told her to drink. Zhu Lin drank the water and then put it down on the table.
"I put salt instead of water," Zhu Lin muttered.
"You could have taken someone's help," Lei Wanxi stated.
"It was my first time trying," Zhu Lin mumbled.
"Well, such things do not impress me," Lei Wanxi pronounced.
"Are you telling me not to try cooking anymore?" Zhu Lin skeptically peered at him.
"Hmm. Do not try to cook. I do not want my taste buds to die," Lei Wanxi remarked and started to laugh. He stopped laughing after some time and said, "I am kidding. Do not take it to heart and do not start a fight with me for no reason."
Zhu Lin chuckled. "You are a Cute Prince," she complimented him.. Lei Wanxi's cheeks and ears turned red like a ripened tomato upon hearing that statement.
