The princess and Fu Liu looked at each other for a moment until Xing Huan's eyes sharpened, "how could you soften her heart?" Paused, finding him shameful, "Anyway, be careful! You know the law If they realize that you are not barren..."
She closed her eyes and rolled her head down, what was she saying! He was barren and physician Lu confirmed it.
"I am barren, your highness! But I fed a lust to get whatever I want."
The princess scowled, he did it because of her but as she noticed he had become protective toward the woman which could drag his life into danger. No eunuch was allowed to be with a woman except for his master.
"Alright, let's talk about today's plan. I would do some activities until our man returns."
Fu Liu put out the dish of warm vegetable soup. She picked the spoon and took one bit. Recalling what Li Shu said about the eunuch's life. She didn't want him to lose his life for such stupid matters.
"We will go to the training field today! Li Shu comes with me, I want to challenge her skills."
Fu Liu was amazed. Did she really want to start her training?
"Your highness, this is a good move."
"My father might come and visit us, he had heard of Li Shu, he also suggested to make her a concubine for my brother but I refused."
Fu Liu's lips twitched up, what a hyena that prince was! He must have somehow shown interest that the king brought out this topic.
"You don't like it, either."
The princess grasped the anguish that landed on his face.
"She is rare, besides we brought her to help her, I don't want to feel guilty for ruining her life. This is a game to have her here, we shouldn't forget this."
The princess calmly had her food, he was right. It was a game that she was stuck in for such a short time.
"Fu Liu, is lady Yu's grandson with her?"
The man nodded, the little boy was assisting his grandmother in the kitchen.
"Yes, how come?"
"Teach him martial art personally, I want him to become an elite one day and defend himself."
"Yes, Ling will become a good chef too, I see his eagerness for trying new foods his grandmother makes."
The princess changed the topic about Li Shu as either time she talked about it, her heart ached. She didn't want her to go. But taking her freedom was unlike her. She wasn't a cruel tyrant to slave someone regardless, she could if she wanted.
Having the food they walked out of the residence when Li Shu arrived with Ke Xin. Crucial was the way she looked at the princess. What was wrong with her?
Bowing for her this time without being warned, Ke Xin was wearing a tensed face! The whole way the girl didn't talk to her.
Li Shu scanned the place and didn't see the ladyship.
"Ladyship Ma must be busy!"
The princess extended her hand to Li Shu, gazing at her hair that had the butterfly hairpin she had given her.
Holding her arm out for princess Xing Huan, they walked to the training field.
"Why is my Li Shu sad?"
"Perhaps because of the lack of time I have to spend time with my princess on the case."
Fu Liu exchanged a glance with Ke Xin and she shrugged, she didn't reveal this to her! It could be her brother or the librarian who told her.
"Did master Qin tell you?"
The princess questioned, smiling! It was good that she noticed her attention.
"Yes, this is ridiculous that your highness is forced to marry someone she doesn't want. Should I kill them all?"
The princess burst into loud laughter, heavens above! They truly sent this girl to her.
"Calm down, I have plans in my head, for now, let me invite you to a challenge at the training field."
Li Shu bitterly smiled, this laughter was painful!
"There is a possibility that my brother does his best to make you a concubine, what do you think?"
The princess tried the girl's taste.
"Huh! I am sorry but it seems prince Xing Huan is itching to be barren because I would kick him in the middle!"
The princess wasn't the only one who laughed at that also the rest of the valets.
While getting close to the place, Zha and Yan arrived.
"We prepared everything!"
Zha Gang announced and turned to Li Shu. To him, this girl was filled with affectation.
"Well, may I ask what happened last night?"
Li Shu asked, turning to the princess before stepping on the field.
"We caught the tailor!"
The princess informed and let her inside, a herd of birds fluttered and chirped.
She picked a wooden spear and Li Shu raised her eyebrow!
"Are we children?"
She taunted.
"I don't want to hurt my Li Shu!"
The princess looked cheerful, the way she was speaking to Li Shu was as if she was talking to her loving sister. This term of behavior that she had taken the yield of could make her heart throb faster. Li Shu's emotions were fragile toward the princess while the prince form could simply suppress the feelings, this female figure was dangled to mess up with mixed emotions, too soft and merciful.
"Huh, my princess is too soft while it is unlike me!"
The princess licked her lip, what a rival she had gotten. Although, what the girl was mentioning was credible.
Dropping the wooden spear, she looked at Yan Yuxi who was near the weapon shelf, "give me a real one!"
The girl followed the order, with her feet she smashed the spear and held it with her hand, tossing it to the princess.
Xing Huan bounced up and grabbed it.
Li Shu clapped her hands, "good jump but not enough!"
Her eyes averted on Chaoxiang who was passing with a gang of patrols. They were going to stroll in the city and he would watch over Huang's family mansion.
"What is your weapon?"
Li Shu took out her dagger! "This!"
The princess was impressed, one of her favorite things about Li Shu was her confidence.
Li Shu flooded to the princess as Zha Gang dropped the red flag.
They both jumped up. The princess swung her spear but Li Shu simply defeated with her dagger and used a little amount of Qi power to lead it. Her strokes were heavy despite not being in shape for her period.
