Quick Wear: The Wronged One Becomes Rebellious

Chapter 385 Princess's Skirt 31

After observing for so many years, Li Luan is very sure that Shen Xizhou's feelings for Xiao Shisan are more important than his life.

And getting deeper and deeper.

It was fine when they were in the northern border. He would be urged to write to Xiao Shisan every month. When Xiao Shisan wrote, he would shamelessly ask him about Xiao Shisan's news.

Completely disregarding his status as a prince.

This time when she returned to Beijing to report on her work, she insisted on following him back. When she was a hundred miles away from the capital, she left him behind and rushed to the capital without sleep.

Li Luan had to be on guard against him doing something bad to Xiao Shisan at all times.

"I'll just watch her from a distance, I won't do anything else!" The masked man Shen Xizhou said in a deep voice. He just missed her too much.

"Remember what you said!" Li Luan snorted coldly and stopped trying to stop him from following, then jumped on the horse.

Shen Xizhou followed far behind, and the heaviness in his chest became much lighter.

It's another day to see the little princess.

Shen Qingzhou has lived enough for the Shen family.

After the Shen family arrived at the border safely, Shen Qingzhou handed over all the resources in his hands to his eldest brother. He changed his name to Shen Xizhou, joined the army, started as a lowly errand soldier, and slowly climbed up step by step.

It’s not like he had no other choice but to go back to the little princess.

He could have changed his identity to do business or returned to the capital as a branch of a small family, but he didn't do that.

He wanted to return to the little princess under the name of Xizhou and continue the second half of her life that was ruined by him in her previous life.

Shen Qingzhou has died in the past, and Shen Fuzhi no longer exists.

From now on, he will just be Shen Xizhou to the little princess.

The two words "Xizhou" that she once read affectionately from her lips became his name in this life.

The Daye Dynasty valued military power, and had a special law for exiled prisoners. As long as they made great contributions to the army, they could be promoted as an exception, and if they could be promoted to the position of a colonel, their crimes could be washed away.

It is impossible to return to his original identity as the third son of the Shen family. He has to remove the charges against him, become a good citizen, and start over with his current identity.

This is exactly what Shen Xizhou wanted.

But he had hurt the princess too deeply, and he was worried that the princess would resist and get angry when she saw him. He was even more worried that if he stood in front of the princess and the princess didn't want to look at him again, he would lose control.

He could only cover his face with a mask and dared to hide near the princess and secretly look at her again and again.

Little did he know that the unusual silver mask would only expose him to Gu Li faster.

"Twelve Brother, why did you come just now?"

In front of the princess's mansion, Gu Li, who was in the carriage, leaned half of her body out of the window to greet Li Luan who was riding over.

"I want to ride a horse, too."

Li Luan stopped walking in the snow and said to the impetuous Xiao Shisan in dissatisfaction: "You just recovered from your cold, how can you ride a horse? Go back to the carriage!"

Gu Li curled her lips. She was just saying it. If she was really asked to ride a horse in the middle of winter, she couldn't do it.

Just as he was about to retreat back into the carriage, he caught a glimpse of someone behind Li Luan.

Gu Li recognized him at first sight.

The thin lips that had kissed her countless times and the tight jawline showed the man's nervousness.

Shen Xizhou's eyes hidden behind the mask were unscrupulously scanning the princess's face. The scarlet snow fox coat made her face look a little pale, and it seemed that the little princess had not completely recovered from the cold.

Perhaps for the convenience of wearing a hood, the princess only had a pomegranate red hairpin in her hair. The hairpin was hung with a small chain as thin as water droplets. The red coral earrings swayed gently with her every move, like the misty rain, which made people's hearts soften.

The princess really likes red.

Her dark and delicate eyebrows were charming and lively, and her lips, which were painted with light pink lip balm, looked tender and juicy.

Why bother admiring plum blossoms? The princess is more beautiful than them.

"Who is he?" Gu Li glanced at Li Luan and asked even though she knew the answer.

Li Luan touched his nose and coughed as he explained, "My deputy general came back to Beijing with me. His name is-----"

"Oh." Gu Li sat back in the carriage without waiting for Li Luan to finish speaking, holding the hand warmer to cover her cold heart.

He actually came back.

It is almost early spring, and the plum forest in the West Hill has passed its peak flowering period. Although it does not have the strong fragrance of sparse shadows, its scent is still refreshing and far-reaching. Combined with the chill of the remaining snow, a cool fragrance comes to your heart before you even enter the plum forest.

At the beginning of the new year, few people came here. There were only three of them in the huge plum forest. The rest of the attendants and Feixue stayed outside the forest.

What illuminates the plum forest is the morning sun of late winter, what blows on the plum branches is the biting cold wind, and what nourishes the plum blossoms is the rain and dew from the remaining snow.

Gu Li had no intention of appreciating such a beautiful scene. For no reason, she felt a surge of irritation in her chest.

She pointed to a plum branch and said, "That branch of plum blossoms is in full bloom. It will be perfect to put in a vase."

Upon hearing this, Li Luan lifted up the corner of his robe and was about to fly up the tree, but Gu Li grabbed his sleeve and looked at the masked man who was two steps behind him, "You go!"

Without saying a word, Shen Xizhou took a deep breath and flew up the tree, accurately picking the plum blossom that Gu Li pointed to.

"Do you have poor eyesight? Is that the one I just talked about?" Gu Li accused dissatisfiedly.

Shen Xizhou paused as he was about to leave, held the plum branch in his hand, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Is this a mistake? Your Highness, can you point it out to me again?"

"Hmph, you've stepped on the most beautiful one and made it dirty. I don't want it anymore!" After saying that, Gu Li turned around and left.

Li Luan blinked. Wasn’t the one that Xiao Shisan was talking about just now the one in Shen Xizhou’s hand?

Without time to think, Li Luan ignored Shen Xizhou and hurriedly caught up with Xiao Shisan.

"Don't be angry, Little Thirteen, Brother Twelve will give you a break!"

Gu Li walked very fast and spoke very fast: "Twelfth brother, you have a really bad eye. Even if you find someone with good eyesight, it's still not good enough. You stepped on the plum branch that I liked so much and made it dirty."

Li Luan was completely confused, but he didn't dare to refute. He just comforted him: "Merlin is so big, there are so many beautiful branches. Let's find a better one!"

"I don't!" Gu Li suddenly stopped.

Li Luan was secretly complaining that Xiao Shisan's temper had gotten worse as she got older, when she suddenly stopped and he almost bumped into her.

"I like that one." Gu Li turned around and saw Shen Xizhou following them with the plum branch she had chosen in his hand.

Gu Li became even angrier. She pushed aside Li Luan who was half blocking her, pointed at Shen Xizhou and said provocatively, "Why are you wearing a mask all the time? Are you too ugly? I don't like traveling with someone who doesn't even dare to show his face!"

Li Luan felt helpless and stood aside without saying anything.

Shen Xizhou raised his hand and touched the mask on his face. The little princess must have recognized him.

"If the princess doesn't like it, I won't wear it!" Shen Xizhou untied the mask's straps with one hand.

In this life, Gu Li had never looked at him directly from such a close distance.

He has a face that is both good and evil. His facial features are thin and stylish, and his face is very angular, especially his jawline, which is as sharp as a knife.

The bridge of his nose is narrow and high, and the distance between his eyebrows is tight, which makes him look like he is being locked in. In addition, he has been tainted by bloodshed for many years, so when he has no expression on his face, he looks very aggressive.

But he was holding a blooming plum blossom in his arms, which neutralized the impact of his facial features and made Gu Li dazed for a moment.

Gu Li was furious. She took a few steps forward, snatched the plum branch from his hand and threw it viciously in his face.

Shen Xizhou did not dodge, letting the branches slap him in the face.
