Married To The Cruel Crown Prince - Chapter 505 - The Love Bite!

Sheng Li and Ying Lili were wrapped into the silk sheets. Ying Lili had rested her hand on Sheng Li's chest while her head rested on his arm. Sheng Li's sleep broke and a smile formed on his lips. He caressed her head and kissed the top of her head. He stroked her hair while peering at her. 

He brought his hand on her face and traced her eyebrows. Ying Lili knitted her brows as her sleep disturbed. Sheng Li pulled his hand back and closed his eyes. Ying Lili rubbed her eyes and gradually opened them. 

She reminisced about the last night, and a blush appeared on her cheeks. Though she was feeling pain in her lower body, she enjoyed it. Also, according to the Royal Astrologer, she had to get impregnated. Hopefully, she would get pregnant and would complete her family with Sheng Li. 

She lifted herself a little; her weight was on her right elbow while a few of her hairstrands landed on Sheng Li's face. She pushed them behind her ear and quickly pecked on his forehead. She moved her eyes down and looked at the neck of Sheng Li. 

Ying Lili's mouth formed into an o-shaped when she saw the love bite which she had given to him. She moved her fingers on his neck and smiled. 

"Umm… you can give me another if you want to!" Sheng Li suddenly said. Ying Lili immediately looked up.

"You were awake!" Ying Lili was astonished. 

"Hmm… are you good? I was not harsh, right?" Sheng Li asked. 

"It's a little painful down there but not much. After a bath, I will feel good," Ying Lili asserted and rested her one face on Sheng Li's chest, who put his arm on her back. He caressed her arm.

"I will join you for a bath," Sheng Li stated. Ying Lili hummed. She started to draw something on his chest, and it amused him. 

"What are you doing?" He asked.

"Nothing," Ying Lili replied. She brought her face closer to Sheng Li's and rubbed her nose against his. They both smiled and parted their respective lips. Sheng Li tried to capture her lips, but Ying Lili withdrew back and placed her index finger on his lips. 

"You started again in the morning. It's wrong," Ying Lili complained. Sheng Li grasped her finger and put it down. 

"You initiated it, Lili," Sheng Li reminded her. "Morning kiss is important, Lili." Saying this he pinned her on the mattress. He kissed her on the cheek and then lips. Pulling back, he gazed down and saw the red marks on her skin.

"I think I was intense last night," Sheng Li stated. 

"So was I," Ying Lili answered right away. "Our love-making was intense," Ying Lili said and smiled. Sheng Li was happy that Ying Lili enjoyed it. However, he was tense about the pain he gave her during all this. "Let's have a bath. I will ask Court Lady Xu to prepare bathhouse for us," Sheng Li moved away from Ying Lili. He saw the silk robe that was put on the table. He got down from the bed and quickly wore it. Tying the knots on it, he walked towards the door and opened it by pushing the sliding doors away. 

Xing-Fu, Court Lady Xu, and other servants were seated meters away from the chamber as Sheng Li had strictly instructed them the previous night.

As they heard the sound of the door, they stood up and bowed. "Prepare the bathhouse," Sheng Li ordered and closed the door. Court Lady Xu understood that the Crown Prince wanted to prepare the single bathhouse for him and the Crown Princess. She instructed the maidservants, who went to the bathhouse. 

"Court Lady Xu, this time, I feel that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess will get a child. Last night they were so intense," Xing-Fu said. He could not suppress his happiness. 

"Yes, Eunuch Xing-Fu. Hopefully, it will be a boy. I have made a prayer to the Jade Emperor that if he gives a boy to the Crown Princess, then I will go barefoot to the Buddhist Shrine to give prayers," Court Lady Xu said with a smile. 

"Court Lady Xu, but the Crown Prince wants a girl. His Highness wants a girl like the Crown Princess. Will you not do the prayers if a girl is born?" Xing-Fu queried. 

"I will do the prayers if the girl child is born, Eunuch Xing-Fu. However, if a boy gets born, then it will benefit the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess. The legacy of the Han Empire will continue from the Crown Prince's side too," Court Lady Xu stated. 

"It is all in the lord's hands," Xing-Fu stated as he joined both of his hands and looked up. 

Court Lady Xu nodded her head. In her mind, she was only praying for a boy so that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess position would be safe for a long time. 

Inside the chamber, Sheng Li helped Ying Lili wear the silk robe. "I can do this, Sheng Li," Ying Lili stated when Sheng Li told her not to move. He then brushed her messy hair with his fingers. 

Ying Lili rested her head on his shoulder. Court Lady Xu came inside with a few maidservants and they all bowed. "The bathhouse is ready, Your Highness," Court Lady Xu informed them. Ying Lili lifted her forehead from Sheng Li's shoulder. 

Two maidservants came forward to help Ying Lili when Sheng Li stopped them. "I will take the Crown Princess," Sheng Li turned to Ying Lili and lifted her in his arms. All the servants lowered their eyes.

"Sheng Li put me down. You are making me feel embarrassed," Ying Lili whispered in his ear. 

"Just hold me tightly, Lili," Sheng Li ignored her request. "Clean the room before we come back," He ordered them and walked out of the chamber. 

"Yes, Your Highness," Court Lady Xu answered. 

Sheng Li went straight to the bathhouse where Xing-Fu and the maidservants were waiting for them. "Good Morning, Your Highness. The bathhouse is ready," Xing-Fu stated, keeping the smile on his lips. Sheng Li hummed and told them to stay outside. 

He walked inside the bathhouse with Ying Lili while Xing-Fu closed the door for them.
