His Mischievous Time-Traveler: How To Capture A Celebrity Husband?

Chapter 23: Finally picked a bedmate

"So, this is the woman." The fifth prince, Wu Yixing, let out soft laughter. "My friend Yu Chen, you rejected all the women from the capital and picked up someone from a battleground."

Kwon Yoori smiles politely at him, but her insides feel like they are rotting because of the anger buried inside her for a long time. Back in the capital, he would drag her to the flower house every day and make her watch things that she would never want to see as a woman. He would throw her inside a room with a woman. One time, he announced that he would gift rare jade to any woman who could take her virginity. Damn him! Why can't she send him to hell herself? Thanks to him, the emperor thought that Yu family is trying to see power. Oh! She still can't figure out the connection between the Yu family and the empress. She couldn't care less. The Yu family hated her more because of this.

Thanks to him, she was sent here. The emperor made it sound like he was rewarding her. Everyone in the capital knew that it was a punishment for getting too close to the fifth prince. The Yu family was happiest because of the outcome.

If she ever gets her abilities back, she would make this prince's life hell. Then, she will take care of that emperor and the Yu family. Screw crazy court politics! Kwon Yoori will teach them what real power is.

"What is your name, beautiful lady?" She hears him ask Kyuri who is looking at him with awe. Didn't she warn her not to get seduced?

***

A real prince. Wow! I have only seen people like this in drama. He has an enchanting smile. Such seductive eyes. He is even more handsome than Kang Si An.

"What is your name, beautiful lady?"

I feel a fluttering feeling in my belly. My aunt has helped me polish my understanding of their language. It's not perfect, but I can understand better now.

"Kyuri." My face burns when I see his gaze on me. "What is your name?"

He purses his lips and smiles. My aunt is looking at me like she wants to toss me to timekeepers. I feel intense eyes on my back. I don't have to turn around to see who it is.

"Wu Yixing," He replies to me with a kind-hearted smile. "Kyuri, your name sounds beautiful just like you do."

I blink. I remember my aunt's warning. If Li Jun is master death, this person is a master seducer. This person could kill me with a warm smile and I would feel happy about it. If I compare him with Kang Si An and Li Jun, I would choose him. Dying happily, isn't that good?

"Here." He gives me a glass of wine. I take it without any question. It's been a while since I drank and ate anything good. The food here tastes like crap. It's basically roasted in the fire. I don't know how my aunt has survived here. I will never refuse yummy wine after spending days like this.

"Thanks...fifth prince." I give him a slight bow. I haven't watched a historical drama much. I don't know how to act here. I take a sip of the rich time. Oh, it's so good!

"This prince is happy that General Yu finally picked a bedmate."

I resist the urge to spit out the wine. My aunt laughs nervously. The fifth prince also laughs. The intense feeling on my back gets more intense. I take another sip. I need to be drunk to carry on this conversation.

***

"Fifth prince, you must be tired from traveling." Kwon Yoori smiles stiffly at her archenemy. Go! Sleep! Just leave this place and never return! You damned prince!

"Not tired." Wu Yixing gulps down the wine. His new drinking friend giggles. There are only four people lasting.

"You are really a prince." Kwon Kyuri blabbers drunkenly. "I have never seen a prince. Can I get your autograph?"

"This prince likes you. How about you leave General Yu and come to me?" Wu Yixing leans toward Kyuri and grabs her hand. "Your hand is softer than General Yu's hand."

"Prince, you are out of my league." Kyuri hiccups. "You are so handsome and manly. You are also kind and cunning. How do you have a perfectly balanced mixture of all desirable traits? Am I already dead? Perhaps, this is a heaven in disguise?"

Kwon Yoori looks at two drunkards. Will they remember it if she punches them both? She glances at Li Jun who hasn't taken a single sip of the wine. His eyes are stuck on Kwon Kyuri. Yoori doesn't feel good about this.

"Kyuri, you are cute. This prince likes you a lot." Wu Yixing looks into her eyes. "Say, do you want to be my concubine?"

"Nope!" Kyuri jerks off his hand. "My man must be only married to me. I refuse... I am absolutely against polygamy. There is only one man for one woman and one woman for one man. Prince, don't you get tired of so many women around you? You should only marry the woman you love. Love is beautiful. It makes the world better."

"This prince isn't married yet." Wu Yixing sulks. "My first fiance died of sickness. My second fiance drowned. My third fiance was assassinated. My fourth fiance -"

Kyuri covers his mouth. "I get it. You are unlucky."

"Don't call this prince unlucky." Wu Yixing kisses the back of her hand. "How about you become this prince's wife? Nobody will take your position until you die."

Kwon Yoori stands up to take her niece away. Before she could, Li Jun picks up the drunk Kyuri and leaves the tent.

"Um... Wait!" She is about to chase after them, but the prince grabs her wrist. She looks down and finds his eyes clear. No sign of earlier drunkenness. She can't hide her anger. "You were pretending!"

The prince grins at her. "General Yu, we are finally alone. Let's talk."

"But... Kyuri... " She tries to free her hand from the prince's grip.

"She is safe with Li Jun." The prince pulls her down. "My friend, how have you been here?"
