Chapter 173 - 173: Uncontrollable Kiss (2)
The game of chess continued, and no one took this matter to heart. Li Changning and the others had long known about it. As for Mo Xin, she originally had the intention of coming here for a marriage alliance. It was normal for her to fall in love with Xie Xingyun.
Li Dan thought that since his father valued his cousin, why would he allow him to come along personally? After thinking about it carefully, he could guess what he meant. Aunt Jing’an was in a hurry to get Xie Xingyun engaged. She had probably chosen all the suitable girls in the capital. Since the Princess had chosen, then the Princess of Daqing naturally could too.
Li Chun smiled and glanced at them. “Cousin, I heard that you haven’t had a single woman by your side all these years. Is that true?”
Li Yi rolled his eyes at him. “How could it be false? Cousin is like a banished immortal. How could he mess around before he got married?”
“There are a few considerate people in my residence. It’s not that I’m speaking crudely, but according to the rules passed down from the ancestors, while one can’t mess around outside, it’s not impossible to keep a concubine in one’s residence.” Prince Kang, Li Jing, had been keeping a low profile for the past few days. He looked listless and his eyelids were dark.
However, at the mention of these things, he became excited. “There are quite a lot of beautiful women in my residence. If you want them, I can send you a few likable ones.”
Everyone in the capital knew about the flirtatious reputation of Prince Kang, Li Jing. However, he had a noble status and no one dared to touch him. If Ji Shuang was not Prince Pingnan’s biological granddaughter, it would not have been so easy to take her away from his residence previously.
Li Chun was the first to reject him, but he still smiled. “Don’t, Third Brother. I’m still young, but you have to take it easy. Your health is more important.”
“You’re not young anymore. Father already had our eldest brother at this time.” Li Jing did not think much of it.
Li Changning was impatient. “What are you guys talking about? Can’t you see that I’m still here?”
“Stop it all. Let’s talk about something fun.” Li Dan laughed and said, “Seventh Brother, have you finished your homework?”
Li Chun was stunned, and the others revealed gloating expressions.
“I remember that the Grand Tutor had said previously that if you still do not finish it this time, he’ll report you to Father, in which case, I’m afraid these few days will probably be the last time you have a break.”
Li Chun said gloomily, “But shouldn’t we be working for the Great Kui now? Why do we still have to copy books!”
“One can understand a person through his words. Aren’t you used to copying them from a young age? Besides, it’s not unreasonable to say that the meaning of a book comes from reading it a hundred times.”
Li Ye could not help but laugh. “Seventh Brother’s handwriting is indeed too sloppy. I think the Grand Tutor is still being merciful.”
Li Chun was unconvinced. “Are you all done copying?”
Everyone looked at him with pity.
Li Chun,”…”
“You’re all too much. We should share blessings and hardships together!” Li Chun was a little anxious. “I still have 200 poems. Someone, quickly bring me paper!”
“Is Seventh Brother going to copy them now?”
“I’ll return to Imperial College the day after tomorrow. I’m afraid 1 won’t be able to make it in time.”
Li Chun’s face darkened. “I thought all of you hadn’t copied them!”
Seeing that his hair was about to explode, Li Yi could not help but laugh.
He smiled and everyone laughed. The pavilion was filled with laughter. Li Jing also smiled. When the atmosphere turned lively, everyone became especially relaxed and bold.
Li Jing looked towards the man with his eyes closed. “Cousin, you’ve been living like a monk all these years. If you’re too embarrassed to go looking for someone else, you can come to me. Tell me what kind of person you like. I’ll keep an eye out for you. If there’s a suitable one, 1’11 send her to your residence immediately.”
Xie Xingyun looked up coldly.
When Li Jing saw him open his eyes, he presumed that he had hit the nail on the head. He said excitedly, “A few days ago, I obtained an adorable dancer from a merchant in the Western Region. That water snake waist, tsk tsk tsk.”
Li Dan said, “Look at how you are drooling…”
Li Jing waved his hand and said ambiguously, “No, no. I can’t bear to. If Cousin wants her, 1’11 send her to your residence today.”
Mo Xin’s expression was ugly. Li Changning was so angry that she reprimanded, “Third Brother! What nonsense are you talking about!”
“I’m just being kind.”
Li Changning was already holding her breath. She immediately jumped down from her seat and kicked Li Jing. Li Yi and the others tried to smooth things over.
“Forget it, forget it. It was all a joke.”
“Alright, stop it. Don’t fool around!”
Li Jing really rolled down from his seat when she pushed him. He almost rolled into the water. His expression was dark.
Because the soil was a little moist, he had a few wet footprints on him. It was quite comical.
“Li, Chang, Ning!”
Li Dan and the others were in a hurry to stop the fight. However, when they turned around, Li Jing’s face looked like it had been smeared with coal..
