The Princess And The Lord

But Lory didn't mind on contrary she felt grateful that Yang Xi Ying wanted to help her, even though Bei Li Yan and Wu san Bo also helped her prepare for the wedding but they were men so inevitably there something that they might miss. 

"Don't you take my marriage too seriously, don't get me wrong, I don't mind, but is it okay to spend so much work on other people's weddings, don't you feel tired?" asked Lory.

Yang Xi Ying finishes her writing then she lifts her chin"I'm not tired and I don't mind either, I think this is fun. I never have the opportunity to plan my own wedding, for noblewomen like me wedding it's about family reputation so the one who handles my wedding is my family elder and I have only a little opinion about my own wedding, so planning your wedding is like sweet revenge for me" Yang Xi Ying sip her tea and smile in content.

"Well, as long as you're happy" Lory raised her cup and cheered, "But don't get tired, I don't want Master Li to think I'm taking advantage of his beloved wife" 

"He wouldn't dare…" Yang Xi Ying pursed her lips. 

"Is it because he's scared of you" Lory joked.

Yang Xi Ying snorted while pretending to be angry, "Talk about being scared…..what's wrong with Lord Zhao?" she leaned forward while covered her mouth and whispered to Lory. 

"Hm?"

"You realize he's been sitting there watching us for hours without blinking" Yang Xi Ying complaint but didn't dare to look at Zhao Li Xin who was sitting under the giant umbrella, even though his seat was quite far from them but she couldn't help to notice a black figure lurking like a beast watch its prey. Why is this lord getting weirder every day? Yang Xi Ying wanted to cry but there were no tears.

Lory glances at Zhao Li Xin for a second "He doesn't blink?"

"I guess so, I didn't see!" Yang Xi Ying gave a 'are you crazy' expression towards Lory, "That's not the case, the point is why is your husband being weirder than usual?" Yang Xi Ying thought he was used to Zhao Li Xin's antics but today she realized his opinion is too premature.

Lory was perplexed, she scratched her nose feeling a bit awkward "I don't know either, he's become more clingy than he used to be and he's also more….um, you know" Lory bite her lower lips shyly "You know…more excited…in bed" Lory wiggled his eyebrows repeatedly.

It took Yang Xi Ying a few seconds to understand Lory's meaning "Oh?....ohhhhh" she nodded in understanding, "How eager?" Yang Xi Ying whispered, her whole face was red like a boiling crab but she couldn't hold her curiosity besides who else she could talk about this other than Lory.

Lory ponder for a second, she didn't know if it's okay to talk about this "Just say it, I'm glad I have high quality bed"

Yang Xi Ying shrunk her neck, Zhao Li Xin might not the muscular type but he got a wide shoulder, a pair of strong arms, and he also much taller than Lory, he even slightly taller than Li Mo Zhen not to mention Zhao Li Xin is powerful cultivator so his body was altered beyond normal people which mean he is much stronger than normal people and the problem is, Lory was not cultivator, Yang Xi Ying knew that Lory body used strengthening spell before she fights to make her body stronger but after that her body return to normal again.

Therefore Yang Xi Ying didn't know could Lory's small and weak body handle Zhao Li Xin's intense love "what about your body, is he pushing you too much, he can't be that selfish right!" Yang Xi Ying knitted her brows while observed Lory's body anxiously.

"No, I'm okay, I'm fine!" Lory shook her head and chuckled "It's not that I don't want him either, it's just that something is different" she didn't know how to explain it. 

"Different? How?" Yang Xi Ying asks.

"Well, I don't know how to explain it, it seems he has a lot of thoughts on his mind like something is bothering him a lot, I don't know...?!" Lory waved her hand and slumped her back on the sofa.

Yang Xi Ying frowned as she pondered, "Lord Zhao isn't someone who can't be easily swayed by minors things, I never could have imagined he could befuddle over anything, unless..." she shoots a sharp at Lory. 

"Unless what?" Lory asked.

"Unless it has something to do with you?" Yang Xi Ying pointed his finger at Lory. 

"But nothing has happened to me lately..." Lory shrugged with a confused expression, she is trying to remember since when Zhao Li Xin was acting like this and something crossed her mind "I think he told me he had a bad dream..."

"That sounds even crazier" Yang Xi Ying completely denied it. How could a powerful cultivator like Zhao Li Xin scared from a dream, he is not a five years old boy.

Who is Zhao Li Xin, he is a powerful ruler who dominates the entire continent, with a wave of his hand he can burn and annihilate his entire opponent, and with a snap of his finger, he can get everything he wants, he is so powerful that even the emperors of every kingdom in the continent was wary of him. How could someone like him be afraid of simple dreams, could Zhao Li Xin be deliberately teasing Lory? 

"I know…." Lory sighed, she realized how ridiculous she was.

Yang Xi Ying picked up the papers and got up from the sofa, "Alright, if you want to know what really happened, you need to talk to your husband, meanwhile, I need to find Mr. Bei to talk about the guest list." 

"Hm, okay…" Lory replied casually, but before Yang Xi Ying left, Lory raised a sudden question, "Xi Ying when you built the connecting door to my Manor?" Lory remembers how surprised she is when she saw a mysterious door appear in main her garden. 

"Last night" Yang Xi Ying replied casually, "I already asked lord Zhao for permission and he said fine so here it is" she smiled happily as if it was normal.

Lory didn't mind on contrary she was happy, Lory had no friends even though there were maids in the manor but their different social status didn't allow them to be too friendly towards Lory, and Lory couldn't force pretend that they were equal, Lory knew some behavior already ingrained to their mind since they were children's and it cannot be changed easily so Lory doesn't make things difficult for them less it only make them feel uncomfortable, perhaps Zhao Li Xin understood this too, which was why he let Yang Xi Ying create a connecting door between their Manor.

As soon as Yang Xi Ying left Lory approach Zhao Li Xin who didn't bother to hide his presence, Lory plopped her bottom in his lap then wrapped her arms around his neck "Why are you being weird lately?" she throws sudden question.

Zhao Li Xin circle his arms around her waist and smile "Something bothering me lately so I will disturb you for a few days I hope you can be patient with me"

Lory kissed her cheek "You never bother me, silly!" doesn't he know it's every woman's dream to be pestered by a handsome man like him, Lory let out a long breath then she looks at him again "Want to talk about it?"

Zhao Li Xin kissed her chin, there a flash of unsettling emotion in his eyes, Zhao Li Xin then smiles "Not now…"

In the Butterfly Silk House Embroidery shop, Wu San Bo held his head on the table with both his hands, he looked stressed and tired when Bei Li Yan entered the room with a bright smile that can light up the whole room. 

"Losing money?" Bei Li Yan mocked sarcastically.

Anger flashed across his face "I never lose money" he spat out.

Bei Li Yan laughed as he walked across the room towards the sofa "So what's with your face?" he lay down on the sofa then lay comfortably with his arms resting on the cushion.

Although he was annoyed with Bei Li Yan's lack of attitude Wu San Bo knew his anger was only entertained Bei Li Yan, Wu San Bo snort at Bei Li Yan "The treasury is full again, now I don't know where to put all this money" Wu San Bo pinched his glabella.

This might sound ridiculous but Zhao Li Xin and the King's palace were very good at making money but had little interest in spending it. Jiang Jin Wei only cares about military matters most of his palace funds is used to strengthen the Golden Lion army, Jin Hao on the other hands only cares about his research, and Bei Li Yan might like someone who spends money like water but actually, he is very careful when he allocates his money to exchange for resources and information, all the extravagant appearances and carefree demeanor are just a facade to hide his true abilities. 

Meanwhile, Wu San Bo was a miser, whatever he wanted, he always managed to get it for half the price. However, the obvious problem with them is that they don't have women.

Because they are like that the wealth of the Hei Shen sect accumulating to a terrifying amount, they got too many funds but nowhere else to allocated it anymore then lately it become a problem since they out of space most of it has transferred to spatial rings.

"Oh, why don't we used this for our lord banquet, we can close the street, we make lavish dinner for all the guests, and make an extravagant party for a week or more!" Wu San Bo pounds the table excitedly. He had calculated at least it would take two million gold taels for a simple banquet and with Zhao Li Xin standard it won't be surprised it would rise to ten Million gold taels.

Bei Li Yan sighed heavily, "Did you forget, if you block the street our lord won't be able to show off his admiration for Lory and having a party for weeks will only tire Lory and lord, and we only have thirty to forty guest, how extravagant do you want it, it won't cost much in the end" 

"Why the guest so little?" Wu San Bo was exasperated.

"Because our lord is not a bundle of joy and sunshine!" Bei Li Yan states the obvious.

"…." Wu San Bo couldn't deny it, it was true that their lord had no friends….why does that sound sad?
