Married To The Cruel Crown Prince

Chapter 87 - Waste My Wish On Something Like This?

Ying Lili was removing the golden bangles from her wrists as she looked at herself in the mirror. "What will he ask for? Last time he scared me to Hell," Ying Lili murmured. "Why did I even agree to sleep with him? What shall I do now? Shall I send a message that I have already eaten and fallen asleep?" Ying Lili muttered.

Ying Lili removed the Crown from her head and the other head accessories quickly. Once she was done, she called Court Lady Xu who came inside the chamber in a minute. "Court Lady Xu, send the message to the Crown Prince that I have taken my dinner and have fallen asleep," Ying Lili stated.

Court Lady Xu lifted her head and looked at the Crown Princess. "But your highness, you have not taken your dinner. The Crown Prince might get angry if he finds out that the Crown Princess lied to him," Court Lady Xu suggested to the Crown Princess.

Ying Lili knitted her brows. "I am going to eat and sleep quickly. I am not lying to him," she cleared herself.

"Your highness, are you afraid of spending a night with the Crown Prince?" Court Lady Xu politely asked. Ying Lili moved her fingers one over the other, as she was indeed nervous. Court Lady Xu made Ying Lili sit on the bed there.

"Your highness, the Crown Prince is not like the other man. His highness will not start things with you until you permit him. I have seen that the Crown Prince has started liking you and he likes to be around you. Do not run away from his highness, instead embrace him. He is the Crown Prince so, her highness has to give birth to the Royal heir as well in the future but if her highness will keep running like this, then I am afraid, the Crown Prince will be forced to take a concubine," Court Lady Xu politely explained to the Crown Princess.

Ying Lili was still confused. She knew that the Crown Prince likes to tease her, nothing more. "I do not have any problem if he brings a concubine for him," Ying Lili said in a low voice.

Court Lady Xu looked at the Crown Princess in disbelief. "Your highness, you are young and naive. If you are brought together by this beautiful relationship then why not put effort into it?" Court Lady Xu spoke and looked for an answer from Ying Lili.

Ying Lili recalled how she told the Crown Prince that she wanted to be the woman of his desires then why she was running away now. But she had not developed a liking towards him. "Okay, I understood your point," Ying Lili replied.

"What did you understand?" Sheng Li who was standing behind a white curtain asked. Ying Lili jumped in fear if Sheng Li heard her conversation with Court Lady Xu while the Court Lady Xu lowered her head in fear.

Sheng Li came inside and looked at Ying Lili. "Send dinner for us," Sheng Li ordered Court Lady Xu who bowed her head and left the chamber. Ying Lili stood up from the bed while Sheng Li came towards her. "I asked you a question," Sheng Li stated.

"Nothing. She was telling me about the Palace rules," Ying Lili replied. Sheng Li looked at Ying Lili's face for a while and then went to the dining table. Ying Lili followed him and they sat in their respective seats.

"You have good shooting skills," Sheng Li stated. Ying Lili did not reply to him, which perplexed him. "What happened? You are lost somewhere. Is there something you want to ask me?" Sheng Li queried Ying Lili.

"I am not," Ying Lili replied.

"Your face is saying otherwise," Sheng Li asserted. Ying Lili still did not respond to him. "I think I shall ask Court Lady Xu," Sheng Li stated when Ying Lili stopped him.

"Trust me, nothing is going on," Ying Lili pronounced.

"Lili, I will ask the Court Lady if you will not tell me," Sheng Li repeated his words with a menacing expression. Ying Lili gave up in front of Sheng Li. Why was she even talking about those things with the Court Lady? She was now internally cursing herself.

"Okay, I am telling. She was just making me understand that I shall not push my husband away," Ying Lili finally said, peering into the eyes of Sheng Li and continued, "My husband might end up having a concubine if I-I," Ying Lili closed her eyes as she was still nervous.

"Why do you trust others so easily?" Sheng Li questioned Ying Lili who, hearing his question, opened her eyes. "I told you already if I had to play with women then I would have a harem by now," Sheng Li remarked.

"But I am talking about having a concubine. I mean if I... I," Ying Lili stuttered again.

"I will never allow myself to have a concubine. Let's drop this topic," Sheng Li stated when three maidservants came inside with trays in their hands behind Court Lady Xu. They served the meals to the Crown Prince and Crown Princess. One maid tasted the food first. "Your highness can start eating," the maidservant replied.

Court Lady Xu walked out with the three maidservants. Sheng Li started eating, and so did Ying Lili. There was utter silence between the two. Soon they were done eating. The maids cleaned the table.

Sheng Li removed his overcoat and placed it on the chaise. Ying Lili was looking at him when he opened the hair bun and his hair flung till his shoulders. Placing the Crown on the dressing table, Sheng Li turned to Ying Lili and walked towards her. Ying Lili, who was still standing near the table, took a step back and lowered her eyes.

Sheng Li wrapped his hand around Ying Lili's waist and from the other hand, he gently gripped Ying Lili's chin. "It is the time I shall ask for my second wish," Sheng Li whispered.

"Sorry, I am not ready for that," Ying Lili immediately replied without knowing what Sheng Li was going to ask her.

"Huh?" There was a skeptical expression on the face of the Crown Prince. He saw how terrified Ying Lili was, which made him laugh. Controlling his laugh, Sheng Li asked, "You are not ready for what? What are you thinking in your mind?"

"What you are thinking!" Ying Lili answered, looking at him innocently. "And, what am I thinking?" Sheng Li asked another question.

"That you want t-to… consummate with me," Ying Lili after a pause completed her words.

"What?" Sheng Li exclaimed, raising his brow. "So, you and Court Lady Xu were talking about this?" Sheng Li questioned Ying Lili who refused.

"I am in a good mood, so I will pretend I did not hear. Why would I waste my wish on something like this?" Sheng Li muttered. Ying Lilli felt embarrassed for thinking about all those things.

"So, what is your wish?" Ying Lili asked.

"You have to go to the residence of the Prime Minister with me but not as the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess but as spies," Sheng Li expressed his wish to Ying Lili.
