Chapter Eighty-Seven: This King Can Wait

  She was actually unable to draw and was delighted by her own ingenious ideas, with a single "king" character on her forehead representing the king, what a talented creative idea!

  Looking at Li Xiuzhen's expression, it seems that she is not very satisfied with this painting method. With a gloomy face, she even painted a rabbit with its teeth and claws exposed, letting the little man hold onto it. Isn't this obviously reflecting her? She is just a rabbit, or to be exact, a wild and untamed rabbit!

  But the rabbit is painted very cute, vivid and lifelike, especially that arrogant look, it seems to have a bit of human flavor, the more you look at it, the more it looks like yourself. Anyway, she doesn't dislike rabbits either, let alone Li Xiuzhen compares her to a rabbit, she doesn't mind at all.

  However, after adding this rabbit, the whole painting was immediately improved a lot and looked much better. After Han Caiwei's ink marks were dry, she held it in her hand to admire it carefully, and finally smiled with pursed lips: "Good, mount it and hang it on the headboard."

  Li Xiuxian smiled at her words, and his eyebrows and eyes also showed a smile. He immediately opened the door and said: "A Fu, come in."

  A Fu came in and saw Li Xiuzhen with a smile at the corner of his mouth. This hanging heart finally put down: "The slave listened to the king's orders."

  Li Xiuzhen took the painting from Han Caixi and handed it to Ah Fu, who hastily received it with both hands. Li Xiuzhen said, "Frame this painting immediately and then return it." In just a moment, the framed painting was returned, but Li Xiuzhen wouldn't let anyone else hang it up, insisting that Han Caixi do it herself. With no choice, she took off her shoes and socks, climbed onto the bed, and carefully hung the painting with her toes. Then, standing on the bed, she admired it for a while, very satisfied, and smiled at the painting.

  Li Xiuzhen was originally standing a few steps away from the bed with his hands behind his back. He happened to raise his eyes and saw Han Caixia's smiling face, and his gaze suddenly became deep and dark. He slowly walked to the bedside, pulled up her hand, and let her turn around. Han Caixia wasn't very tall, standing on the bed was only about a head taller than Li Xiuzhen. At this moment, she was hugged by him, her nose filled with the warm and sweet scent of licorice, and for a moment, she forgot to struggle free. She was quietly held in his arms, with his low voice whispering in her ear, almost grinding into her heart.

  "Shall I walk with you through life, hand in hand, till old age?"

  Her heart was incredibly soft at this moment, his embrace was so warm and powerful, she also found that her body was greedy for such warmth, deep down she didn't want him to let go, but she had many worries in her mind, for a moment her thoughts were in disarray, and one sentence blurted out: "There are many gentle rabbits by your side, Wang Ye, why do you have to hold onto me?"

  This painting was altered by him, and the whole atmosphere changed. How could she not understand what he wanted to express?

  Li Xiuzhen heard her words and also detected the hidden resentment, smiling softly: "This king only has a pair of hands, can't grasp anything else, besides, if I grasped someone else, you would definitely escape without a trace, right?"

  Han Caiwei stood up, feeling a bit tired, and rested her chin on his shoulder, pouting: "Of course, who would want to be bound? It's much better to be free!" Only after finishing the sentence did she suddenly realize that she had misspoken. How could she have said what was really on her mind? She quickly added, "Your Highness, I meant to say that for a rabbit, it definitely doesn't want to be caught, and it must hope to stay willingly."

  Li Xiuxian released her, his eyes gleaming: "I will make you willing, I can wait." The flower wants the king.

  This clearly shows her intention, Han Caiwei blinked and didn't know what to say. After a while, she patted Li Xiuzhe's shoulder: "Hmm, good comrade, with ideals and goals, keep working hard, go for it!"

  Before Li Xiuzhen closed her eyes, Han Caixia immediately jumped out of bed, put on her shoes and socks at the fastest speed, ran out of the house, and ran to the yard. It was already dusk, but the osmanthus tree had passed its peak, with most of the petals falling under the tree, creating an extremely poetic and picturesque scene.

  She ran under the osmanthus tree, using her feet to sweep the petals on the ground. The fragrance was so strong that it was unbearable. Finally, she felt that sweeping was not enough, so she squatted down and used her hands to grab those petals. She grabbed a handful and then scattered them. The petals fell down, very fragrant and beautiful. Anyway, this was her courtyard, and in ancient times there was no air pollution, everything was completely natural. There wasn't even a bit of dirt on her hands, but instead they were filled with the fragrance of osmanthus flowers.

  She was having so much fun, and after a while, she stood up and smiled at Li Xiuzhen who was standing in the corridor watching her: "Wang Ye, I found that outside is not as good as home, it's more fun at home!"

  She herself didn't know that such a brilliant smile would touch Li Xiuzhen, who was standing in the corridor. In his life, he had never seen such a sincere and genuine smile, as pure as a child's, yet as bright and radiant as the morning dew, dazzling to the eyes. At this moment, he engraved such a smile into his heart, and decided to keep it there for a lifetime.

  "As long as you like it." At home, she just said at home, so, does this mean that in her subconscious mind, she has already regarded this other house as home? Li Xiuzhe thought so, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. OHee.

  Ah Fu and Qiu Hua Xia Hua didn't go far, they were still standing at the door watching. Seeing Han Caiwei so happy and Li Xiuzhen spoiling her, all three of them looked at each other and smiled. This storm has finally passed.

  Li Xiuzhen was taken aback, and when he looked again, the slender figure under the osmanthus tree had disappeared. He couldn't help but frown and ask: "Where is she?"

  A Fu pursed his lips, he really didn't see it. Autumn Flower saw the situation and hastily stepped forward saying: "This servant saw Master go to Shuang Er's room, probably to take a look at Shuang Er's injury."

  Li Xiuzhen nodded, she went to take a look, she was not here, he happened to have something to ask Afu, so he said seriously: "Afu, during the days when Ben Wang came to live in this courtyard, what is the situation in the mansion?"

  "Reporting back to the king, the queen is still the same as before, nothing has changed. However, Concubine Pang always sends some small things back to her family through the maids, they are not worth much, but I will still be on guard. As for Concubine Wang, since the kneeling punishment incident, she rarely goes out and these past few days even more so, it's said that she is feeling unwell."

  Li Xiuzhen nodded slightly: "As for Yulan, don't relax yet, find someone to keep an eye on her. As for Wangshi, it's still the same, go to the palace and ask Taishi to take a look at her, just don't stir up too much commotion, she's also a restless one."

  "Yes, I understand," Ah Fu paused for a moment, looked at Li Xiuzhen's face, and then said with a pursed mouth, "Your Highness, forgive me for speaking out of turn, but will you continue to stay in the other courtyard? Although it is under the pretext of mourning for Princess Ying, the true situation is not unknown to anyone. If it reaches the Emperor's ears, I'm afraid it won't be beneficial for Madame Han!"

  "Alright, alright! Let's stay for a few more days and then return to the manor!"

  If this brings trouble for her, this woman will probably run away again!
