Pathological Trapping - Chap 38
”I wonder what kind of person Guard Li likes? Several maids around me have seen Guard Li and think he is extraordinary. I wonder if they will be lucky enough to have a chance to get close to Guard Li?”
Mu Jian said, “Guard Li’s family is poor, and it is an honor for him to be favored by the Third Miss. But I don’t care much about servants’ affairs.”
Du Yanqiu felt that since the Ninth Prince was a man, it was normal that he didn’t expect this.
Then it is even more up to her, the future hostess, to make plans for others.
”Then I’ll ask Guard Li what he thinks. I’m sure he’ll be happy.”
Mu Jian sneered in his heart.
indeed……
If I really told him, who knows how happy he would be.
After all, what that person wanted most was a beautiful woman.
He should give up this idea as soon as possible.
When Li Dezhuang was riding back, the third lady really mentioned this matter to him. Li Dezhuang was so happy that he pretended to be reserved and refused for a while, and then agreed.
The next morning, he happily met a girl close to the third young lady.
The girl was as beautiful as snow, and her smile was very endearing.
Li Dezhuang was a widower before he traveled through the book.
Now that we have the opportunity, we must seize it!
Li Dezhuang performed a magic trick for the little girl, which made her blush and she covered her face with a handkerchief while laughing.
He also helped the little girl brush away the willow branches that blocked her way, fully demonstrating his gentle and considerate character.
The little girl lowered her eyebrows and smiled, feeling shy and timid.
Li Dezhuang felt that it was stable!
Two people stood on the bridge, one with a red face and the other with his head down, like a painting.
The Third Miss pointed at them and said, “Your Highness, look how well they match each other.”
Mu Jian hummed, then suddenly turned to smile at Du Yanqiu, “Thank you very much.”
Chapter 30 As long as Guard Li loves me, I will give him any amount of money
Today is a nice and sunny day.
The scenery is beautiful everywhere!
Li Dezhuang happily jumped back to Mu Jian’s tent. Mu Jian was reading a book, and when he heard him running in, he looked up with a smile on his face.
”Guard Li is so happy? Is the Third Miss’s maid very satisfactory?”
Li Dezhuang honestly said, “It suits my heart!”
Must be happy.
Who doesn’t like a pretty girl?
Li Dezhuang leaned on the table and said happily, “In the afternoon, she also asked me to go to appreciate the flowers together.”
Mu Jian stared at him for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, “It’s only March, and the flowers haven’t bloomed yet. There’s no such thing as flower appreciation. I’m just looking for an excuse to go out with you.”
“That’s what I thought too!!”
The more Li Dezhuang thought about it, the more beautiful it seemed, and he couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Mu Jian’s eyes flickered with cold light, like a net firmly catching Li Dezhuang. But the other party was totally unaware.
Unfortunately, Li Dezhuang’s dream was shattered in the afternoon. The girl he was supposed to date fell into the water and drowned. When the guards fished her out, her face was white from the blisters.
This maid has been with Du Yanqiu for many years and they have some feelings for each other.
After Du Yanqiu saw it, he burst into tears.
A maidservant who stumbled into the water and drowned was not a big deal. It did not even cause any commotion in the hunting grounds, and was no more significant than a stone dropped into a pond.
Li Dezhuang felt chilled and went back into the tent.
Mu Jian came back in the evening, bringing a large piece of roasted mutton, which he placed on the table.
He embraced the person on the bed, including the quilt, and held him in his arms. The tip of his nose nudged Li Dezhuang’s ears and cheeks like a puppy.
”Is Guard Li still sad?”
Li Dezhuang turned around slowly. He was very sad at first, but then he realized that his posture with Mu Jian was a bit too intimate, so he slowly broke free and sat up.
”No.”
”I think so. After all, I have only met her once. If Guard Li is so heartbroken by her just because of this one meeting, I will be very unhappy.”
”What is your highness unhappy about?”
Mu Jian leaned on the couch.
”I have known Guard Li since I was a child and have been with him for many years.”
He paused, and suddenly supported himself on the bed with his hands, and pressed his whole body towards Li Dezhuang, pressing him to the innermost part of the bed.
”If you are trying to kill yourself for someone you have only known for less than half a day, it makes me feel that my importance in Guard Li’s heart is surpassed by others.”
”In my heart, no one can compare to Your Highness.”
Mu Jian smiled brightly when he heard that. He leaned closer, and the light in his eyes seemed to have substance.
”Guard Li looks at me like this, how can I love Guard Li?”
Li Dezhuang looked at Mu Jian for three seconds.
Very sincerely, “Give me more silver.”
Mu Jian was stunned for a moment, then he started laughing.
”As long as Guard Li loves me, I will give him any amount of silver.”
Since Mu Jian had been to the king’s tent once, no one knew what he had said to the emperor. The emperor summoned him more and more frequently. Even when he returned to the palace from the hunting grounds, he would often ask him to come back to the palace.
Within a few days, they moved out of the temporary palace and lived in the palace.
The palace was not as free as the imperial palace, and one had to be careful and cautious in everything. There were many rules, and Mu Jian often complained to Li Dezhuang.
Li Dezhuang was curious, “How did Your Highness get the Emperor to agree to let us move in?”
Mu Jian’s dark eyes held a smile, “Guard Li, do you really want to know?”
”Yeah.” Of course I want to know what tricks you have played!
Mu Jian slowly crawled to Guard Li’s side and leaned against him. “Father said that I am not like other brothers. He likes me to act like a spoiled child to him.”
Li Dezhuang had to admit it.
When it comes to acting like a spoiled child, no prince can compare to Mu Jian.
Because no prince is as thick-skinned as Mu Jian.
