Chapter 49: The Prince Has Taken a Fancy

  Han Caiwei looked for a while, lowered her eyes and entered the house. Xia Hua wanted to speak several times, but was stopped by Qiu Hua. After dinner, Han Caiwei asked them to leave, leaving only herself sitting on the edge of the bed reading medical books.

  After a while, her heart became increasingly annoyed. Shuang Er had gone to the Wang Fu for a day and still hadn't returned, nor did she know what Ji Zhao Xi wanted her to do that required a whole day. As the sky darkened, there was still no news, so Han Cai Wei couldn't sit still any longer. With a "pa" sound, she put down the medical book and rushed to the door, intending to go find someone to ask. Before her hand even touched the curtain, it was lifted from outside, and the person who entered was Shuang Er herself.

  As soon as she saw her return, Han Caiwei finally put down a worry in her heart, but it was inevitable that she would be annoyed and angry at Shuang'er for not sending someone to report back and making her so anxious. So she asked directly: "Shuang'er, why did you come back now? Did Ji Zhaoxi make things difficult for you?"

  The twins puckered up their mouths, looking at her, but didn't respond. After entering, they still lifted the door curtain high. Han Caiwei's astonishment was explained in the next second. She was really surprised, completely beyond expectation. What she saw was

  "In front of Zhao Xi, don't call out her name directly, can't you understand some basic etiquette?" Li Xiuzhen smiled slightly as soon as she saw her, and Shuang'er put down the door curtain and went to serve tea. After Xiaohua and Qiuhua brought up some snacks, the three of them retreated together, but Han Caiwei clearly felt

  Li Xiuzhen came in and didn't sit down immediately, instead she picked up the medical book that had been casually placed aside and flipped through a few pages, smiling as she said: "No wonder you knew how to send medicinal soup to Bao'er, it turns out you're interested in reading medical books now!"

  Put the medical book back on the shelf, then sat down by the window, picked up the teacup and took a sip. He raised an eyebrow at Han Caiwei: "What are you still standing there for? Come over and sit!"

  Han Caiwei suppressed the doubts in her heart and slowly walked over to sit down, pursing her lips: "It's so late, why has Your Highness come?"

  Li Xiuzhen looked at her and said: "Feeling annoyed in the mansion, I came over. Xu'er is already asleep, so I didn't bring him along."

  Han Caiwei didn't look at him, she just slightly furrowed her brow, unsure of what to say. He said he was feeling annoyed, but what could be annoying him? Since he mentioned it, wasn't he expecting her to ask about it? However, the matters of the mansion weren't her concern, so why should she bother asking? Her mind was a tangled mess, and as she thought about his annoyance, her hand involuntarily reached out to grab a pastry from the plate. Unbeknownst to her, he had also extended his hand, and instead of grabbing the pastry, she touched the tip of his finger. She hastily withdrew her hand, as if electrocuted, and picked up her teacup to take a sip, attempting to conceal her fluster.

  Li Xiuxian didn't mind, still took a pastry and ate it, then hooked his lips and said: "This king sees that the people Ah Fu brought are doing their best, this courtyard is indeed much better than before, I suppose next year I can see...

  "The king has taken pity on us. Thank you, Your Majesty."

  "You don't have to say that, these words are already making me feel uneasy," Li Xiuzhen looked at her steadily, "I want to know, do you like this courtyard now?"

  Han Caiwei sighed inwardly, still holding the teacup in her hand, and looked up at him saying: "I like it, I'm very happy."

  "You're happy, but I'm annoyed. How about you say something to make me happy?"
