"That day, His Majesty wanted to marry Gao Yang to me, not you…That day, His Majesty wanted to marry Gao Yang to me, not you…"
Li Lizhi's expression froze instantly, as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water on her head on a hot day. Li Chongyi's words kept floating in her mind.
After all, she stayed in the palace every day and had limited access to information. Most of it was from Empress Zhangsun and Xia Xi from the other palace maids. Empress Zhangsun naturally would not tell her about the matter between Li Chongyi and Gao Yang.
She couldn't be blamed for thinking too highly of herself. Who asked Li Shiming to pass the stone that Li Chongyi gave Gao Yang to her first, and then, the matter of Zhang Xin barging into her room in the middle of the night. When everyone thought about something, they liked to have their first impressions, and she was no exception.
"It's…it's getting late. I should go back.”Li Lizhi did not question Li Chongyi. Instead, she turned around and walked out in a hurry.
In her panic, Li Lizhi did not pay attention to her feet and tripped over the threshold.
The moment Li Lizhi fell to the ground, Li Chongyi hugged her from behind.
"Let go of me. You are Gao Yang's fiancé, please have some self-respect.”Li Lizhi struggled to break free, but she realized that Li Chongyi was hugging her tightly. She raised her foot and stepped on Li Chongyi's foot. Li Chongyi, who was caught off guard, was stepped on.
"Ah! You murdered your husband! It hurts so much. I'm finished. I can only walk with a cane in my next life.”Li Chongyi screamed, but he didn't let go as Li Lizhi had expected. He was still hugging her tightly.
" Xia Xi, come in and help me. I..." Li Lizhi saw that she could not break free, so she could only ask Xia Xi for help.
Li Lizhi had just finished her sentence when Li Chongyi kissed her lips.
At first, Li Lizhi struggled and tried to bite Li Chongyi, but she soon lost herself. When Xia Xi came in and saw this scene, she quickly covered her eyes in embarrassment. However, she couldn't help but be curious and quietly opened her fingers a little.
After a full three minutes, Li Chongyi finally let go of Li Lizhi.
Li Lizhi panted heavily. On one hand, she was suffocating, and on the other hand, she wanted to calm down as soon as possible.
After a while, Li Lizhi calmed down and said,""You already have Gao Yang, why do you still want to ruin my reputation?”The more Li Lizhi spoke, the more agitated she became. She could not help but clench her fists and hit Li Chongyi's shoulders." What do you think? Tell me! Why are you doing this to me?"
"I want both you and Gao Yang! I want to marry them all!"
"How is this possible? Even if I agree, Imperial Father and Imperial Mother will definitely not agree. You are dreaming. Forget it, today's matter did not happen. You and Gao Yang…"
Li Chongyi interrupted her." In this world, there's nothing that can't be done. I'm only asking if you want to marry me!"”
"I…I've been treated like this by you. How can I marry someone else?" Li Lizhi said angrily. You have no conscience."
"Alright, alright, alright. I was wrong! I promise you that in a year at most, I will marry you and give you a decent title.”Li Chongyi said.
"Yes, I believe you. But don't force yourself too much. If Imperial Father still doesn't agree, I'll accompany the ancient Buddha and protect myself for you.”Li Lizhi said firmly.
Li Chongyi sighed in his heart. What else could a husband ask for after getting such a wife! Moreover, this ancient woman was really easy to deceive. If it were those modern women, would they be able to settle it with such a light promise? Dream on!
However, Li Lizhi believed Li Chongyi just because of a few simple words.
"Wait, I have a gift for you.”As he spoke, Li Chongyi took out a piece of paper and a piece of charcoal under the stove. He let Li Lizhi sit down.
"Chongyi, don't tell me you want to use this to paint?”Li Lizhi guessed.
"I have no choice!" Li Chongyi joked. I'm so poor now that I can't even afford a pen and ink. It wasn't easy for me to earn some money, but I lost 30% of my shares to a wife who cheated on me.”
"I haven't married you yet. I'm not your wife!”Of course, Li Lizhi knew that Li Chongyi was joking. She felt a little apologetic in her heart. If she had known that things would develop to this point with Li Chongyi, she would not have helped her mother! It was not easy for Li Chongyi to earn money alone!
However, she soon stopped thinking about it. Instead, she was curious about how Li Chongyi would use a piece of charcoal to paint. She sat down according to Li Chongyi's request.
The painting that Li Chongyi wanted to do was naturally a sketch. Although he did not have a deep understanding of sketching, it was only relative to traditional Chinese painting. In terms of sketching skills, many professionals could not compare to him. To him, painting was something that he could easily master.
It was said that men were the most attractive when they were serious about their work. After Li Chongyi concentrated on his painting, Li Lizhi was attracted by Li Chongyi's serious look.
Li Chongyi was handsome to begin with. After using the Physique Strengthening Drug, his figure was almost perfect. There was nothing to be picky about in terms of appearance. And what attracted people on a deeper level was talent.
Li Lizhi couldn't help but recall that she had heard that Li Chongyi had created a font that Li Shiming and the ministers praised. Then, she wanted to ask Li Shiming for Li Chongyi's handwriting, which was how she had gotten to where she was today.
Of course, talent was only a stepping stone. What really touched Li Lizhi was that Li Chongyi had taken a huge risk and entered the Imperial House late at night just to give her a pillow.
Women were sentimental, especially a talented woman like Li Lizhi.
However, Li Lizhi really wanted to know how Li Chongyi's painting was going. However, she was still sitting here as a model, so she could only give Xia Xi a look. The little palace maid Xia Xi understood and quietly came behind Li Chongyi.
Xia Xi looked at what Li Chongyi drew with charcoal, pouted and shook her head at Li Lizhi.
Seeing Xia Xi's actions, Li Lizhi was a little disappointed, but she soon felt relieved. After all, she was using charcoal to draw. If she used ink, Li Chongyi would definitely be able to draw an excellent painting.
However, after a while, Xia Xi's mouth suddenly turned into an O shape in surprise, and then she kept nodding at her.
Li Lizhi didn't know if Li Chongyi's drawing was good or bad, but Xia Xi seemed to be mesmerized by it and would exclaim from time to time. Presumably, Li Chongyi's charcoal drawing this time was similar to the previous game with Li Tai. There was a plot twist, which made her look forward to it even more. She wished she could switch places with Xia Xi.
