The Promotion Record of a Crown Princess

18-23: Being Flexible With Your Husband

On the fourth day, returning to the palace.

Without consulting each other beforehand, both Qi Sheng and I wore clothes with slightly higher collars. In addition, they were clothes that wrapped around our bodies quite tightly. Both of us gave the other a look when we met up, before Qi Sheng coldly turned his head away. I wanted to go over and whip him a few times.

However, because Lu Li was holding my hand, I restrained my impulse. Instead, I raised a middle finger at Qi Sheng's back.

Figures ranking from the top of the Zhang household to the bottom all came to send Qi Sheng and me off. In front of all the old and young men of the Zhang family, Qi Sheng held my hand. I subconsciously tried to pull my hand back, but I didn't manage so much as a twitch. This youngster was gripping my hand quite tightly.

The Zhao wang couple, the Bathroom Lord, and the Tree Climbing Lord had to leave after us. Thus, they were also standing at the doorway to send us off. When Qi Sheng's gaze fell onto Jiang-shi, the hand he was using to hold mine suddenly loosened. I also turned my head to look at Jiang-shi. She wasn't wearing white again today and instead wore a dress the colour of moonlight. The soft fabric gently swayed from the spring wind, making her look as elegant as an immortal.

I leaned closer to Qi Sheng to deliberately disgust him, "Ah, look. Under Jiang-shi's immortal-like dress, do you think her body is also covered with love bites?"

Qi Sheng turned around to look at me, his gaze as sharp as a knife.

Contrary to expectations, I could give less of a damn as I infuriated him. "Both Zhao wang and Jiang-shi have such dark eye bags. I reckon they tossed around so much they didn't sleep for the whole night!"

Qi Sheng's fingers increased their pressure and they almost broke the bones in my hand. However, I endured the pain and drew back the corners of my mouth into a smile.

Qi Sheng also leaned toward me until his mouth was beside my ear. "Don't think that just because the Zhang family is present, I wouldn't dare to do something to you."

"Then just do whatever you want to me, ah! Hurry up and divorce me, or actually, you might as well just kill me!" I continued to goad him. Yesterday night, I spent the whole night thinking things over. Regarding Qi Sheng, I can't always indulge and spoil him like this. He originally already looked down on Zhang-shi. If I continued to lower myself, even if he really did allow me to become the Empress in the future, he would definitely trample me to death afterwards.

I had to let him see my value. It was the same as trying to let your boss see your capability to work.

The two of us continued to cross swords like this, where he would make a remark and I'd retort right back. However, the both of us never stopped walking. When we got to the front of the carriage, Qi Sheng kicked away the inner palace servant who had been crouching on the ground so as to act as my stool and instead lifted me onto the carriage in one move. After he also leapt onto the carriage, with a grim smile on his face he murmured, "Between divorcing you or killing you, do you think I can't do anything else?"

After he finished speaking, he gave my chest a pat and I ended up falling backwards into the carriage.

Qi Sheng immediately entered the carriage after me. I immediately thought, if you f***ing decide to top me again, I'll kill you!

Towering over me, Qi Sheng arrogantly stared at me.

I was now in a semi-fallen position facing upwards. Using my elbows, I supported my upper body. My entire mind was focused on guarding against Qi Sheng as I attentively watched him. I swore that if I was going to die, I would take him down with me!
