Gifted Bride of the Sinned Prince

524 Be smart while fighting with me

Lóng Wei was surprised to see Li Hua in the office. “I brought lunch for His Highness. I thought it would be better if I come here,” Li Hua stated as she set the lunch table for them.

“I told you not to come out of the palace by yourself,” Lóng Wei said and stood next to her.

“It’s not dangerous anymore. I came with Brother Mingquan. He was free and accompanied me,” Li Hua defended herself from getting scolded.

Lóng Wei pinched Li Hua’s soft cheeks and a low scream escaped her mouth. She coveted her cheeks with her hands and then glared at Lóng Wei.

“How could you bully your lovely wife who brought lunch for you?” Li Hua complained and stroked her cheeks from the back of her palms.

“I didn’t bully my wife,” Lóng Wei said with a chuckle. He quickly leaned forward and kissed her, thus astonishing her for a moment.

“His Highness has a way to calm down my anger too,” Li Hua said with a smile and asked him to take a seat.

Once they finished the meals, Lóng Wei asked her if she would return to the palace.

“Yes.”

.....

She turned her head and looked at the table which was full of documents on one side and bamboo slips on the other.

“Do not take stress while working,” Li Hua told him.

“I won’t. I give others stress,” Lóng Wei said with an amusing smile.

“Your Highness, the Crown Princess is the eldest daughter of the Li Family. Do you know about this? I got to know after Her Royal Highness told me in the morning after you left,” Li Hua stated.

“I didn’t know about this,” Lóng Wei replied.

Li Hua narrated to the Sixth Prince how Li Zixuan betrayed Jin Yu’s mother due to which Jin Yu lived a commoner life.

“The Crown Princess told me that she had to reveal her identity because His Majesty was asking the Crown Prince to stop Prince Tianjie from marrying Song Jia. His Majesty gave the Crown Prince a second option as well; to marry a noble-class woman. The Crown Prince thought to step down, but the Crown Princess didn’t let it happen.”

Lóng Wei hummed to hear about the incident that occurred last day. “The Li family will take advantage of it. However, they both will tackle it,” he affirmed.

“Does Prince Lóng Wei think so?” Li Hua asked.

“Yes. The Crown Princess is smart. She will not let the Li family take advantage of her position,” Lóng Wei stated.

“Your Highness, will you have a sword fight with me? I have been practicing for it. If the weather stays better today, then we will,” Li Hua said with a smile.

“I will love to. In the evening we will do it. I want to see how many skills my wife has built over this time,” Lóng Wei asserted.

“What if I defeat Prince Lóng Wei? What will he give me?” She asked with glistening eyes and leaned closer to him while placing her hands on the table.

Lóng Wei also leaned forward and asked her what she wanted.

“Umm... A day with Prince Lóng Wei,” Li Hua replied and leaned back onto the chair. “I want to spend a day with my husband in my way,” she stated.

“You don’t even have to challenge me for the sword fight. I can fulfill that wish,” Lóng Wei affirmed.

“No,” Li Hua refused.

“Let me tell you the result already. You will lose,” Lóng Wei stated with a smile. “Then, what will you do?” He questioned.

“Tsk. How can His Highness depict the outcome already? I will defeat him. Even Feng Lao told me that I am a better fighter than Prince Lóng Wei,” she said and twitched her lips in annoyance.

“Feng Lao lied to you,” Lóng Wei replied.

“He didn’t lie to me,” Li Hua said and rose to her feet. “I should leave.”

She turned to leave when Lóng Wei held her arm. He left his seat and stood in front of her. Caging her between his hands and the table behind them he said, “Leaving without listening to my answer.” His brow arched in amusement.

“I already heard Prince Lóng Wei’s answer. He thinks he will defeat me,” Li Hua stated.

“Yes. Your friend Feng Lao lied to you,” Lóng Wei stated.

“At least he encouraged me,” Li Hua remarked.

“I don’t believe in fake encouragement. Being truthful to your student is a must. Let’s not keep a bet between us. Whatever the outcome, I will give you a day to spend time in your own way with me,” Lóng Wei stated.

“I accept,” Li Hua said when Lóng Wei kissed her. He pulled away when she told him not to do such a thing at his workplace.

“I will not take any more time of His Highness,” she said and slightly pushed Lóng Wei, who bent a little. His arm scooped around her waist and he lifted her to make her sit on the table.

“My workplace, my rules,” Lóng Wei whispered against her lips and kissed her again. Li Hua slowly moved her hands up and wrapped them around his neck. A few seconds later, they withdrew from the kiss and gazed at each other.

“You can defeat me if you will be smart while fighting with me,” Lóng Wei told her a way to defeat him.

Li Hua knitted her brows and nodded her head. “I will wait for His Highness,” she said. Lóng Wei caressed her hair and put her down. He saw her off to the entrance, where Mingquan was waiting for Li Hua. He smiled to see Lóng Wei, who bowed to him.

“Thank you for accompanying Li Hua,” Lóng Wei said.

“I had work in the Department of Justice, so I accompanied her. Li Jianjun is appointed back as a higher ranked official after it was revealed that the Crown Princess belonged to the Li Family,” Mingquan said.

“Hmm. Xu Zifan is in the same department. I wonder what will happen. But since I am here, so Li Jianjun will not try to do anything wrong,” Lóng Wei stated and looked at the carriage’s window from where Li Hua was peeking outside.

Lóng Wei asked Mingquan to leave with Li Hua and watched them leave.
