Married To The Cruel Crown Prince

Chapter 179 - Proposes



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 come there.

"Where did she go?" Sheng Li wondered when something 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 came 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 memories 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 same time.

"What shall I tell? I do not even remember 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 me behind? I am telling you. At least give me time 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 me?\' he wondered and put more pressure on his brain so that something good he could recall.

"Your highness, you can tell us about your memories with your brothers, sister… the people around you," Hu Jingguo hinted at Sheng Li who hummed.

Sheng Li recalled something funny and decided to share that. "Once Wanxi, and I put a cockroach in the lunch meals 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 me that we should do something that she would not speak for some 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 commented 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 proclaimed and again laughed.

"So, to escape that class you and Prince Wanxi do that. Don\'t tell me 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 me… I mean 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 me 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 meet you those times 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 met me and tried escaping classes, then I would have asked for the most severe punishment for you," Ying Lili affirmed.

"Aren\'t you too harsh on your husband?" Sheng Li questioned her.

"But you were not my husband that time," Ying Lili answered. Sheng Li nodded and shifted his gaze to Hu Jingguo.

"Tell me something embarrassing about Ying Lili\'s childhood. That memory 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 memory in my mind but there is one thing which I would say was not embarrassing. It\'s the memory of those days when we entered our teenage days," Hu Jingguo proclaimed. Sheng Li keenly waited for his response, and so was Ying Lili.

"Remember 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 came to Juyan with his father. We two were shooting arrows when he came to us. He then proposes to the Crown Princess," Hu Jingguo asserted. Ying Lili recalled that memory and started laughing. "And then I…" she could not complete her words as Sheng Li cut her words in the middle.

"Tell me the name of that bastard," Sheng Li tempestuously told Hu Jingguo.
