Chapter 58: First Command of the ArmyChapter 165: Keeping Watch for My Brother-in-law
Jin Xueyuan didn't understand what Li Chen meant at all.
But she instinctively felt that Li Chen seemed to be making a plan.
If Xiao Wangba is the platoon leader, then who is Lao Wangba
Duan Jinchang
The current cabinet's most important minister, Grand Scholar of the Ministry of Rites Duan Jinchang
The thought sent a shiver down Jin Xueyuan's spine.
She looked at Li Chen in horror and exclaimed, "What do you want to do"
After the window was closed, the temperature in the room rose considerably. Li Chen reached out from under the covers and pulled Jin Xueyuan in.
Don't overthink it. Focus on preparing for the banquet tonight and think about how to persuade the Crown Prince to help you. Before that, spend some time entertaining this young master.
Li Chen's words were flirtatious, like teasing courtesans in a brothel.
Jin Xueyuan's pride was deeply hurt.
She struggled with all her might, her face flushed with shame and indignation.
"Let me go, you scoundrel!"
"If all the men in the world were as chaste as saints, would it be a greater loss for men, or a greater loss for you who, with just your looks and figure, can drive countless men to madness"
Li Chen rolled over, he lowered his head to look at Jin Xueyuan's delicate and perfect face, gently rubbing it with the back of his hand. He felt her skin smooth and tender, like touching a flawless piece of warm jade.
Every word Li Chen spoke made Jin Xueyuan feel like her dignity was being trampled on.
It was as if, in front of Li Chen, her status as a princess meant nothing. Not even the basic dignity of being a woman remained.
She was furious, her beautiful face contorted with anger and defiance. "It's because there are so many men like you who don't take women seriously that there are so many dirty thoughts!"
"Well said."
Li Chen chuckled lightly: "I've never treated women lightly, especially you. In my heart, you are a very special existence."
"Don't believe me I'll prove it to you right now."
After he finished speaking, Li Chen pulled the blanket over, enveloping both of them.
From within the quilt, came Jin Xueyuan's startled cry.
“You, you…”
It wasn't until dusk approached that Li Chen emerged from Jin Xueyan's boudoir.
And Jin Xueyuan, already didn't want to bother with him.
Li Chen, feeling lightheaded, came down from the attic and immediately saw Su Pingbei standing on one side.
That expression, somewhat resentful.
"Haven't you gone back yet" Li Chen asked in surprise.
"Your Highness."
Su Pingbei's lips twitched, and he shifted his somewhat stiff legs.
He never dreamed that one day he would be guarding the door for his brother-in-law and another woman.
However, his status as the sister's brother-in-law prevented him from even uttering a word of dissent.
Although his legs were numb and the cold wind made his face tighten, Su Pingbei didn't feel sorry for his sister. After all, it was normal for men to have three wives and four concubines since ancient times, let alone a prince. His sister, even if she became the crown princess or empress in the future, would inevitably face thousands of beautiful women in the palace.
The prince's numerous offspring are a sign of his talent and virtue, benefiting the nation and society. This is a truly auspicious event.
By now, Su Pingbei could only console himself in this way.
"This subordinate fears that someone ignorant of propriety might disturb Your Highness's enjoyment, so I have taken the liberty of watching over." Zhao Heshan did not hesitate. After leaving the line, he bowed to Li Chen and said, "A few days ago, I received a report that the Long family in Xishan Province was colluding with rebels and plotting...
