Chapter 374 When can I be given a status?
Xuanying's lips curled up. He was able to escape unscathed, all thanks to Chu Li.
Because Chu Li told him that it was not worth risking his life to kill Emperor Qingyuan.
It is said that he is the only descendant of the late crown prince and must carry on the family line.
He lay on the bed and said, "Then I feel relieved. You are the one who pulled me back from hell. Anyway, I rely on you."
Chu Li felt relieved to see Xuanying like this. This was Xuanying, mysterious and arrogant, and occasionally a little bit secretly bad.
"Chu Yi, I'm not afraid of you relying on me. After all, we have the same blood and are a family."
Chu Li left after saying this.
Xuanying was stunned. This is what it feels like to have family.
He had never seen his family since he was born. This was the first time a member of the Chu family said that they were not afraid of him becoming dependent on them and were willing to be his family.
Chu Li walked out of the yard in a particularly good mood.
In her previous life, she had no brothers or sisters. In this life, she has a cousin like Xuanying, a younger brother like Laoliu, and a lovely sister like Chuxing.
She thought of Chu Xing and decided to go see her.
......
Chu Xing has been suffering from mental illness ever since he was abducted on the day of the palace coup.
Her father was killed by her second brother.
She was also held hostage by her second brother, who used her to threaten the Crown Prince.
Concubine Shu was extremely anxious when she saw Chu Xing often staring blankly at himself, and even suddenly hiding in the corner and screaming in fear.
"Xing'er, your fifth brother is here."
When the word "brother" was mentioned, Chu Xing's face turned pale with fright.
"It's me, Chu Xing!" Chu Li's appearance made Chu Xing relax instantly.
Concubine Shu looked at Chu Xing distressedly and said to Chu Li, "I don't know what to do. A little noise can make Xing'er become like this."
"Brother Prince." Chu Xing burst into tears of grievance when she saw Chu Li.
Chu Li rubbed Chu Xing's hair and said, "Don't be afraid. I will protect you in the future."
She looked at Concubine Shu, "My Lady, I want to talk to Chu Xing alone."
Concubine Shu knew that Chu Xing trusted Chu Li very much in his heart.
She dismissed the palace maids and eunuchs, leaving only Chu Li and Chu Xing in the room.
Chu Li got straight to the point and said, "Chu Xing, I have a secret to tell you."
Chu Xing raised her little face and looked at Chu Li. After taking a deep breath, Chu Li told her, "Actually, Chu Chu is not dead."
"What?" Chu Xing's pupils dilated. Sister Chuchu was not dead.
"Don't be afraid. It was Chu Li who died when he was ten years old, and I am Chu Chu."
Chu Xing's pupils dilated, eyes full of fear.
Chu Li pulled open her collar and said, "I have been disguising myself as a man to hide my identity."
Chu Xing's big eyes looked at Chu Li's neck. The prince had no Adam's apple. She moved her eyes downward and saw Chu Li's plump chest.
Her mouth opened in shock.
"Chu Chu..." Chu Xing came back to his senses instantly and burst into tears of joy.
Chu Li was relieved to see that Chu Xing had regained his former cheerfulness.
Chu Xing was frightened by what happened that night, and now she used another even more shocking thing to help her get over it.
Chu Xing held her in a bear hug.
She lowered her voice and repeated: "Chu Chu, you are not dead, not dead..."
Chu Li patted her back gently and quickly told Chu Xing what had happened over the years.
Chu Xing let go of her and wiped away his tears.
Compared to what Sister Chuchu had experienced, the fact that she was held hostage was simply too small.
"Don't be afraid, Chu Xing, sister will protect you from now on!" Chu Li touched her cheek.
Chu Xing thought of his childhood and cried with his mouth wide open.
Chu Li helped her wipe away her tears and said, "I don't want to tell everyone that I'm dressed as a man yet. You have to keep it a secret!"
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone, including my mother." Chu Xing promised.
The two smiled at each other, and Chu Xing happily left the house with Chu Li.
Concubine Shu looked at the two of them in surprise. How did Chu Li convince Chu Xing?
She actually regained her former cheerfulness!
Chu Xing took Concubine Shu's arm and said, "Mother, I want to eat red bean paste buns, crystal fish balls, and rice dumplings made with fermented rice wine..."
Concubine Shu agreed repeatedly, "Mother will do it now."
As she walked, she thought, aren’t these all what Chuchu likes to eat?
......
When Chu Li returned home in the evening, he did not see Ye Hanting.
She had wanted to explain her difficulties to him.
Is Ye Hanting really angry?
Not really, just for such a small matter.
After Chu Li coaxed the child to sleep, he stood by the window and slept alone.
It's rare to have such heavy snow this year.
Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest. I hope people will have a good harvest next year.
Chu Li withdrew his thoughts, stood by the table, and prepared to go back to sleep.
When she turned around, she saw Ye Hanting looking at her.
The two didn't say a word, just stared at each other.
Suddenly, Ye Hanting came in quickly, with the cold air brought back from outside on his body.
Chu Li was picked up by him, holding his waist, and sat on the table.
He held up Chu Li's waist with one hand, and with the other hand he inserted into her hair to hold up the back of her head, kissing her passionately.
The cold lips touched the warm lips, and Ye Hanting kissed Chu Li until she was breathless.
Chu Li's cheeks were flushed, her eyes were blurred, and she gently bit Ye Hanting's lips.
The two of them lost control in an instant, and Ye Hanting picked her up.
Chu Li's legs were wrapped around his waist, and Ye Hanting hugged and kissed her as they went to his room.
Ye Hanting put Chu Li on the bed and leaned over to ask her.
"When can I be given a status?"
Ye Hanting's hoarse and seductive voice was heard, Chu Li's belt was untied by him, and she instantly held Ye Hanting's hand.
"Wait a minute, I'm not available today." She knew what Ye Hanting wanted to do, but she had her period.
Ye Hanting's heavy breathing fell beside her ear. He tried his best to endure and control the desire in his body.
She did not refuse, at least Chu Li responded to his love.
He actually wanted to give Chu Li a grand wedding.
Unfortunately, she has not yet firmly established herself on the throne, so she cannot reveal her female identity, nor can she make their relationship public.
It is not easy to be the empress's husband, let alone he is Chu Li's husband.
Those corrupt old ministers would criticize him and Chu Li to pieces.
He didn't care, but he couldn't bear to make Chu Li embarrassed.
Is it that I can only have an affair with her like this, something that is shameful to be seen by others?
Chu Li sat up, looked at Ye Hanting's depressed expression, approached him, and kissed him on the cheek.
Ye Hanting's eyes lit up instantly, the corners of his lips curled up, he hooked Chu Li's waist, leaned over and kissed her again.
The next morning, Chu Li sneaked back to his own room from Ye Hanting's room.
She slept in Ye Hanting's arms last night and fell asleep without realizing it.
Luckily the kids weren't awake yet.
Chu Li quietly got into the bed. She touched her slightly swollen lips, a smile appeared at the corners of her lips. She buried her face in the quilt, and her heartbeat quickened little by little.
......
In the blink of an eye, it was the day when the new emperor ascended the throne.
East Palace.
Chu Li got up early in the morning. It was his first time being an emperor. He had no experience and didn’t know how it felt!
