Gifted Bride of the Sinned Prince

165 Those Provocative Moves

“His Highness shall take me too with him,” Li Hua requested.

“I would love to but I don’t want the men in the governor’s residence to see my wife’s beautiful face,” Lóng Wei said. “You are well aware of the fact that it angers me,” he remarked.

Xu Zifan could not help but smile, seeing how the Sixth Prince flirted with Li Hua. “It is strange to see His Highness this way,” Huang Xi whispered. Both Mingquan and Xu Zifan agreed with his words.

“Yesterday, so many men looked at me, but His Highness didn’t do anything at that time. His Highness is making an excuse to run away from me. He knows that I will ask thousands of questions from him,” Li Hua said and got upset with him.

“Li Hua, there’s no excuse that can keep me away from you. Also, I can answer your hundreds of questions later too. It is a political work. As I said, we must prepare ourselves for the truth which will be revealed soon,” Lóng Wei made her understand. Li Hua pouted her lips. It still looked like an excuse to her.

“Shouldn’t His Highness take me then? How would they believe His Highness without looking at his wife’s face?” Li Hua questioned him. “His Highness seems suspicious,” she squinted her eyes.

“Fine. I will tell you the truth,” Lóng Wei said.

Mingquan, Huang Xi, and Xu Zifan wondered what truth Lóng Wei would reveal to Li Hua. Would he tell her about Shui Feng Lao?

“A dance has been organized. Only men can be present in that. Women aren’t allowed,” Lóng Wei stated.

.....

Mingquan smiled upon hearing his lie.

“A dance?” Li Hua’s eyelids fluttered. She looked at her brother, who had his gaze towards them. She stepped closer to Lóng Wei. Keeping her voice low, she asked, “Does His Highness like to watch dances? He told me that no woman interests me. Then, why does he have to watch such dances? Did he lie to me?”

Lóng Wei smirked to hear her. Her words showed that it would burn her in jealousy if Lóng Wei looked at other women, especially while watching them dance.

“Who doesn’t like dancers to perform dances?” Lóng Wei decided to burn her in jealousy. If that lie could do the work and make Li Hua’s heart restless, then why not put oil into the fire?

He turned to look at the three of them who were trying to listen to their conversation. “Xu Zifan, do you enjoy watching the dance? I bet you do. Don’t lie in front of your dear sister,” Lóng Wei asked the opinion of Xu Zifan.

“My elder brother isn’t like His Highness. He doesn’t like to watch such kinds of dances,” Li Hua said on the behalf of her brother.

“Xu Zifan is a man before a brother,” Lóng Wei asserted. “Tell your sister, Xu Zifan. She must know the truth,” Lóng Wei encouraged him.

Li Hua peered at her brother, waiting for Xu Zifan to answer.

“Your Highness, what kind of-” he paused as he was too hesitant to answer it.

“Sister-in-law, men do like to watch dances. It is one kind of source of our entertainment,” Mingquan answered this time. “However, not all men enjoy that. I believe your brother doesn’t fall in that category. However, as a man, I’d say we like to watch it,” Mingquan proclaimed and clarified her doubts.

“Oh,” Li Hua looked back at Lóng Wei, who was still smiling.

‘So, he likes to watch those provocative moves by those dancers.’ She thought and silently walked away. She didn’t argue with him anymore as she was dejected to know that.

The smile on Lóng Wei’s lips disappeared and he gestured to Xu Zifan to go behind her. He bowed and ran after Li Hua.

“The Sixth Prince doesn’t need to tell such a lie to Princess Consort. She is now upset with His Highness,” Huang Xi stated.

“It is the way to make my love bond stronger with her,” Lóng Wei affirmed. “Also, it was difficult for me to resist her request when she urged with those doe eyes,” he said and walked ahead.

Mingquan and Huang Xi followed him.

“Brother Lóng Wei, what will you say to Shui Xiaoqing? Everyone thinks of you as the troublemaker. When I told him yesterday, he looked a little hesitant to welcome you,” Mingquan said.

“I want to have some good conversation with him,” Lóng Wei crisply replied. He recalled the words that he read in the accounts that Xu Guang Li left. The origin of all this was Qinping, but the Shui Family was also involved in it. Lóng Wei wanted to find the truth on his way from Xiaoqing. He had 3 more days left and within these three days, he had to find out many secrets.

“Your Highness, since we are heading to the Shui Family, we may encounter Shui Feng Lao. How will His Highness react in front of him? Also, will His Highness reveal about Princess Consort?” Huang Xi asked some strong questions from Lóng Wei.

“I do not know until I face Shui Feng Lao today,” Lóng Wei answered.

“Brother Lóng Wei has to handle everything calmly,” Mingquan advised him. “Shui Feng Lao is a smart person with a good presence of mind,” he informed Lóng Wei, who was descending the wooden stairs.

He turned to look at them, after reaching the bottom of the stairs. “Fourth Brother, do you think that someone from Qinping is behind this?” Lóng Wei asked.

“From the capital?” Mingquan arched his brow. “Why did Brother Lóng Wei say so?” He queried.

“Yes. The diary you gave me, I read it. Xu Guang Li had received a message from Qinping,” Lóng Wei said. “It was the only useful information that I could get from it,” he added.

“I have no idea,” Mingquan clearly refused.

“We need to find out about their allies from Qinping,” affirmed Lóng Wei and turned to go ahead.
