Pampered Consort of the Fragrant Orchard Chapter 64.5

Haven't We Long Been Engaged? (5)

T/N: The chapter you've all been waiting for lmaoo

"Came to the Du Manor after three years old?" Du Xiao Li rolled up her hair and said, "Let them continue investigating and have the other two concubines' identity investigated too." Du Xiao Li ordered. "In addition, you and Xia Yuan go investigate one more thing." 

She waved her hand, waiting for Ying Ge to lean over. She leaned into her ear and whispered.

"Miss, you suspect they're not the prime minister's......" Ying Ge cried out after hearing, however before she could finish, her mouth was covered by Du Xiao Li. 

"What are you this surprised for? I'm just suspecting, I won't know until you all investigate it." Du Xiao Li let go of Ying Ge's mouth.

"Yes, miss." Ying Ge also discovered that her reaction was a little big and thus quickly replied.

Du Xiao Li had the land deed in her hand handed to Ying Ge, saying: "Father already bought the land in the back. Go find Fu Wan San to look for some people to have the fence and courtyard quickly built."

"Then miss, what will we plant there?" Ying Ge asked.

"En, I'll think about it tonight, and draw a blueprint tomorrow." Du Xiao Li said. Then she stretched her body and said, "It's very late, I'll take a bath and then rest." 

Hearing Du Xiao Li wanting to take a bath, Xia Yuan came out from inside. The bath water was already prepared, just waiting for Xia Yuan to go bring over her sleeping clothes.

"Xia Yuan, bring me my sleeping clothes with the shoulder straps." Du Xiao Li shouted towards Xia Yuan.

Xia Yuan was currently going up the stairs. Her foot suddenly paused, and she turned to look at Du Xiao Li, "Cough cough, miss, do you really want me to get that set?" 

"It's this hot today, of course I want that one. Besides, this is my courtyard, no need to worry about others seeing." Du Xiao Li said. Although people who practiced martial arts were a lot better off than normal people, she still liked wearing lighter clothes, feeling that way was more comfortable. Perhaps this was just a psychological effect.

However, she also only wore it in secret. Because one time Du Xiu Heng saw and lectured her for a long time. 

Xia Yuan, seeing Du Xiao Li's insistence, could only go up and fetch the sleeping clothes she wanted.

After finishing her bath, Du Xiao Li wore a cool little strapped top, exposing her beautiful shoulders and little waist. And below, she wore shorts that didn't reach her knees. Using a towel, she wiped her dripping wet hair as she headed upstairs. Reaching her own room, her hand paused, and then casually walked to the table side. Picking up a teacup from the table, she poured herself a cup of tea. After drinking the tea, she twirled the cup in hand and then violently threw it towards the folding screen. 

'Shu--'

The cup passed through the screen and tore a hole in the screen, yet she didn't hear the sound of the cup landing on the ground.

"Entering a lady's boudoir in the middle of the night, this is planning on picking a flower, or wanting to get picked by the flower?" Du Xiao Li picked up another teacup and nonchalantly said. 

A sound came from behind the screen, and before she could throw the second cup, a person walked out from behind the screen.

"It's you!?" Du Xiao Li looked to the person walking out and was shocked momentarily. However, soon after, her expression sank, "What is Ding Wang hiding in my room in the middle of the night for? If this gets out, they would think I don't know shame and is having an affair with someone!" 

Han Ming Yi heard the annoyance in Du Xiao Li's voice and rubbed his nose. Soon after, in a flash, his figure appeared in front of Du Xiao Li, and before Du Xiao Li could react, he'd already gathered her in his arms and flew out from the balcony.

"Oi, where are you taking me?"

Han Ming Yi held her by the waist in one hand, while his other hand went down from her shoulder and under her arm, pressing her into his embrace. Du Xiao Li got down from his arms, discovering that they'd already gone far away from the Du Manor. 

"Let go!" Seeing Han Ming Yi not listening to her, Du Xiao Li once again spoke out.

Have to say, Han Ming Yi's martial arts, compared to a few years ago, were even more impressive now, running this far without even touching the ground much. Hearing the person in his arms complaining, he finally put her down. 

As soon as she landed, Du Xiao Li struggled free from his embrace. She glared at him and yelled, "Just what do you want to do?"

"I wanted to see you." Han Ming Yi said, not concealing in the least.

"What?"

"You didn't come to see me, so I could only come to see you." Han Ming Yi lifted her still wet long hair and saw her delicate collarbone and also a large chunk of tender flesh. Looking further down was her bare little waist, and below was just a pair of shorts. Feeling embarrassed, he turned his head away. He dryly coughed twice and said, "Why are you dressed as such?"

Du Xiao Li lowered her head and looked at her outfit tonight, somewhat speechless. First time wearing it, and someone already saw. But before she could say anything, an orchid scented coat landed, covering up her alluring figure. Afterwards, he pulled her hand out from the sleeves, and then carefully had the belt tied. 

"Done." Han Ming Yi retreated two steps back, looked her over, and nodded in satisfaction. Soon after, seeing that her hands were still in the sleeves, he had the sleeves rolled up.

"You....." Du Xiao Li felt all the rage in her stomach miraculously disappeared, as she just blankly stared at him.

He, seems, very different from before.

"Did you discover that this prince is very handsome?" Seeing Du Xiao Li's dazed look, Han Ming Yi charmingly smiled and asked.

Du Xiao Li was deeply drawn in by his smile, but soon after, was woken by his words. Seeing him smiling that pleased, she suddenly lifted her foot and fiercely stomped towards his left foot, letting go only after she vented her anger.

Han Ming Yi clenched his teeth in pain as he said, "Li'er, are you planning on murdering your husband?"

It would have been better if he hadn't mentioned. As soon as this was mentioned, Du Xiao Li's anger shot up again. She stomped towards his other foot, angrily saying, "Why did you let the emperor bestow a marriage? I'd just broke my engagement with Ren Wang with great difficulty, and before I could even celebrate, you caused me this mess!"

"You're not happy?" Han Ming Yi said.

"Of course I'm not happy!" Du Xiao Li shot Han Ming Yi a glare, "Having my marriage decided by someone else, how can I be happy?! Why did you have to go look for the emperor to bestow a marriage?" 

Facing Du Xiao Li's questioning, Han Ming Yi's eyes flashed and then said something that shocked Du Xiao Li.

"Haven't we long been engaged?"
