Chapter 62 You Let Go of This PalaceChapter 232: Teasing

Li Chen's words made Su Jinpa's pretty face flush red. She angrily said, "Your Highness is domineering!"

Li Chen laughed heartily: "It's just a trifle, anyway. Hou Yushu is a nobody. Since you won't see him and don't want his gift, it's best to just let this go. Why make things unpleasant over such a small matter I have a green jade sword in my private treasury. Would you like it as an apology"

Su Jinpa's eyes lit up.

That's the look someone would have if a miser saw jewels, or a tea lover saw top-grade Dragon Well tea.

Clearly, Lü Qi's appeal far surpasses that of "High Mountain and Flowing Water".

It was just a fleeting expression, gone in the blink of an eye.

"No, I don't deserve any reward."

Seeing Su Jinpa's resolute tone, Li Chen nodded and said, "Okay, don't think about it."

"Three Treasures."

The Three Treasures, standing afar, heard the summoning voice and hurried over at a quick pace.

"I am here, my lord."

"That green silk handkerchief is not to be taken back. Whatever this palace gives out, it shall never be returned. Have someone burn it." Li Chen said calmly.

As soon as these words were spoken, Su Jinping was greatly alarmed and exclaimed, "No!"

She angrily said to Li Chen, “That Lü Qi is a true treasure. Such a precious gem, if it were burned to ashes, wouldn't that be a waste How could the Crown Prince be so unappreciative”

"Cherish What's there to cherish."

Li Chen said indifferently, "It's just an inanimate object. Since it has no owner and is usable, it's better to burn it and let it find its master Sima Xiangru and the former Emperor Hui."

Su Jin knew Li Chen was deliberately saying that, but thinking about how much Li Chen was willing to burn Lüqi, she stomped her foot and said: "I want it!"

Li Chen laughed heartily: "That's right. You love the qin, and I happen to have one. Swords are given to heroes, roses to beauties. What's there to be coy about"

Su Jinpa snorted in anger and said, "I've never seen a prince give gifts like this, forcing people to accept them."

"Are you the only one home Where is your father and brother" Li Chen asked, ignoring Su Jinpa's words.

"My elder brother received a new appointment this morning and immediately went to the General's Mansion to discuss it with Father. He will probably be back around dinner time."

Su Jinpa casually asked, "Should we send someone to call them back"

"No need."

Li Chen waved his hand and said: "Your father and the veterans around him, those truly capable generals, must be privately teaching Su Pingbei military tactics. If I wanted to see them, I would just send someone to summon them from the East Palace. I came here to see you."

Li Chen pulled the blanket tighter around himself. It had previously been Su Jinpa's, and he felt its fragrance and softness. It carried a lovely scent of a girl's boudoir, very pleasant to the nose.

Li Chen half-closed his eyes, enjoying the lounge chair and blanket that still held Su Jinpa's body heat, and said, "I'm a little tired, feed me."

As he spoke, Li Chen's finger tapped the grapes on the coffee table.

Su Jinpa's eyes widened, and after understanding Li Chen's meaning, she immediately refused resolutely: "Never!"

Li Chen smiled ambiguously and said, "You're about to enter the house, haven't the mamas in General's Mansion taught you how to serve your future husband Hurry up."

Su Jinpa still wanted to refuse, but seeing Li Chen's calm face with his eyes closed, she didn't know why she just didn't have the courage to resist. It felt like something very bad was about to happen.

With a mix of resentment and humiliation, Su Jinpa angrily plucked a grape and held it to Li Chen's lips.

She was inwardly cursing Li Chen, wishing he would die a terrible death, when suddenly she felt a warmth on her finger. She turned her head and saw the shameless prince had taken her finger, along with the grape, into his mouth.Chapter 1115: Newcomers Returning Home
