Chapter 179 - Proposes
Sheng Li returned to his chamber but did not find Ying Lili there. He asked a servant about that who told him that the Crown Princess did not co there.
"Where did she go?" Sheng Li wondered when sothing clicked in his mind. He turned and went to the chamber where Hu Jingguo was staying with the two Generals.
He hastened his steps and reached there when he heard laughs. Quickly he walked in and saw Ying Lili and Hu Jingguo were sitting around a floor table, conversing with each other.
"Crown Prince," Hu Jingguo saw Sheng Li and stood up from his seat while Ying Lili tilted her head slightly.
"I was searching for you in our chamber," Sheng Li stated as he ca towards the table and sat beside Ying Lili. "Why were you two laughing?" He then asked.
"Ahh, we were talking about our childhood days," Ying Lili replied. Sheng Li knitted his brows because Ying Lili never told him about those things, but she conversed about that with Hu Jingguo.
"Does his highness want to know?" Hu Jingguo asked, which brought Sheng Li out of his thoughts.
"Okay, let's share the mories about our childhoods with each other," Hu Jingguo stated and passed a smile to Ying Lili who agreed with him.
"Whom shall we begin with?" Ying Lili asked.
"One who is the oldest among us," Hu Jingguo stated. Ying Lili and Hu Jingguo quickly turned their gazes and index fingers towards Sheng Li.
"You" "The Crown Prince" Ying Lili and Hu Jingguo replied at the sa ti.
"What shall I tell? I do not even rember many things about my childhood," Sheng Li pronounced.
"I told you Jingguo that Sheng Li does not tell anything about his childhood. Let's go out and talk there," Ying Lili stated and almost got up when Sheng Li grabbed her arm.
"How dare you leave behind? I am telling you. At least give ti to recall," Sheng Li stated. Ying Lili looked at Hu Jingguo who gestured to her to sit there.
"Umm… when I was a child I-I" Sheng Li paused as nothing good was coming into his mind. 'Did all bad things happen to ?' he wondered and put more pressure on his brain so that sothing good he could recall.
"Your highness, you can tell us about your mories with your brothers, sister… the people around you," Hu Jingguo hinted at Sheng Li who humd.
Sheng Li recalled sothing funny and decided to share that. "Once Wanxi, and I put a cockroach in the lunch als of the Empress," Sheng Li slightly laughed, recalling that. Ying Lili and Hu Jingguo's eyes grew bigger upon hearing that.
"Did you really do that?" Ying Lili asked.
"It was Wanxi. But I helped him in catching that cockroach. She was forcing us to study philosophy, which we both hated. So, Wanxi told that we should do sothing that she would not speak for so days. We went to the kitchen and mixed it in the main dish. We laughed so much after that," Sheng Li pronounced.
"I did not know that his highness was naughty in childhood," Hu Jingguo comnted and smiled. "Did she find out about that?" Hu Jingguo asked, curiously.
"Yes, her eyes fell on that, and she ended up puking. For three days, she did not take anything except liquid and a teacher was appointed for us," Sheng Li proclaid and again laughed.
"So, to escape that class you and Prince Wanxi do that. Don't tell you did not like studies," Ying Lili with an inquisitiveness looked at Sheng Li.
"Who likes to study?" Sheng Li muttered and gave white teeth smile to Ying Lili.
"His highness is saying right. Even though I did not like to study with Ying… forgive … I an with her highness I had to study. She was stricter than a teacher," Hu Jingguo announced.
"Really?"
"Yes. Once I escaped the classes and her highness asked the teacher to punish the next day," Hu Jingguo stated and looked at Ying Lili.
Sheng Li amusingly looked at Ying Lili. "I am happy that I did not et you those tis else I would have tied you with a rope and thrown you into a room without lights. I heard that girls are afraid of darkness," Sheng Li pronounced. Ying Lili glared at him.
"I am not afraid of darkness. But if you had t and tried escaping classes, then I would have asked for the most severe punishnt for you," Ying Lili affird.
"Aren't you too harsh on your husband?" Sheng Li questioned her.
"But you were not my husband that ti," Ying Lili answered. Sheng Li nodded and shifted his gaze to Hu Jingguo.
"Tell sothing embarrassing about Ying Lili's childhood. That mory which she does not want to share with anyone," Sheng Li told Hu Jingguo. The Crown Prince then looked back at Ying Lili and continued, "I want to know if the righteous Ying Lili was always like this or not."
"There is no such mory in my mind but there is one thing which I would say was not embarrassing. It's the mory of those days when we entered our teenage days," Hu Jingguo proclaid. Sheng Li keenly waited for his response, and so was Ying Lili.
"Rember Lili that day when the new year festival was coming. A Prince from a neighboring city visited Juyan with his father. He was 15 years old," Hu Jingguo stated. Ying Lili could not recall that when Jingguo said that she would recall after he would tell.
"So this Prince ca to Juyan with his father. We two were shooting arrows when he ca to us. He then proposes to the Crown Princess," Hu Jingguo asserted. Ying Lili recalled that mory and started laughing. "And then I…" she could not complete her words as Sheng Li cut her words in the middle.
"Tell the na of that bastard," Sheng Li tempestuously told Hu Jingguo.
