Chapter 558 - To Support His Family
The mother of the kid again apologized to the Crown Prince for creating trouble. Sheng Li looked at the kid, who was looking at him. The kid turned his head away and again started to cry. "Mother, his highness i-is glaring at me," the kid again complained.
"When did I glare? He is lying," Sheng Li stated and then looked at Ying Lili.
The woman again apologized to him on behalf of her son and went back to the crowd lined up on the left side of the road with her child.
"He was lying, Lili," Sheng Li whispered near Ying Lili\'s ear as they resumed the walk.
"How could a kid lie? Also, you almost started a fight with a kid. Is this the way you are going to treat our future child?" Ying Lili questioned him.
"No. I only looked at that brat! Did you see how he was not ready to leave my leg? Does he not know that I am the Crown Prince? No one can touch me whenever they please," Sheng Li said proudly.
"Do not call him a brat. He might have heard about you from people. Children are curious about the things or people they hear or see. The Little Boy was affectionate towards you. Yet you did not treat him nicely. Kids usually hold the legs of the person they like," Ying Lili explained to him.
"You think I made a mistake," Sheng Li chuckled.
"Indeed, you made a mistake," Ying Lili replied and they both halted in front of a stall. They both peered at each other.
"Greetings to the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess." Their attention was grabbed by the voice of the young man. Sheng Li recognized him. It was the same person who read his hand once upon Ying Lili\'s request. He found that it was a stall that had women\'s accessories.
Sheng Li ended up chuckling. \'I knew that he was a con artist. Finally, he came into my claws. How dare he call me a short-tempered person?\' Sheng Li thought.
Ying Lili picked a white silk handkerchief that had red embroidery on its border. She called Xue Yu-Yan and Liao Jun to the front. "Sisters, you can pick whatever you want to buy," Ying Lili told them. "I know we have been to Palace life where such things bear no value but sometimes the simplest things have their own charm. We have world-class sewers in the workshop but such designs are rare to find," Ying Lili stated as she looked at the embroidery on the handkerchief.
"We agree with the Crown Princess," Liao Jun replied and picked a pink ribbon. Even the ribbon has a design carved on it.
"I am glad that her highnesses liked these crafts," the young man replied.
Sheng Li, on the other hand, was glaring at him. Ying Lili turned to Sheng Li and showed him two handkerchiefs. "Which one is good?" She asked.
"I do not like anything here," Sheng Li replied. Ying Lili blinked a few times and looked at the young man, whose eyes were lowered.
Jian Guozhi and Rong Zemin asked their wives if they found something good.
Ying Lili asked Sheng Li why he said that. "He is the con artist," Sheng Li whispered in her ear.
"Pardon me!" Ying Lili arched her brow.
"That palm reader who called me a short-tempered person. Why would I buy the accessories from him? And who allowed him to even stand in front of me?" Sheng Li muttered and looked at his commanders. Since his sound was low, only Ying Lili could hear that. She was stunned to see how Sheng Li had kept the grudge against the palm reader till now.
"I will buy from him only. He did not lie about your traits," Ying Lili snapped at Sheng Li. Rong Zemin and Jian Guozhi heard them. They both smiled a little.
"Why don\'t the Crown Prince buy something for the Crown Princess?" Rong Zemin suddenly said.
Sheng Li looked at him.
"There are many good hair accessories. Prince Wanxi has once said that the Crown Princess likes to buy accessories from small shops," Rong Zemin stated.
Sheng Li felt stuck because, in front of many people, he could not say anything to the young man, who was the con artist in his eyes. Sheng Li without thinking much picked a multi-pronged hairpin for Ying Lili. "I think this will look good on the Crown Princess," Sheng Li stated.
Weng Yu came forward and looked at the accessories. He also wanted to buy one for the Crown Princess but he was scared of the Crown Prince\'s reaction. After everyone bought the accessories, Sheng Li handed him a gold coin though he had no intention of giving it to him.
Commander Yang informed the Crown Prince that they should head to the ground where a small performance was organized by the people.
"What about the other stalls? The people are eager to meet us," Ying Lili said.
"Your Highness, we need to return before dinner time to the Palace. Also, the curfew hours will start soon after dinner time," Commander Yang explained to Ying Lili.
"We can organize this kind of event again and give the remaining people a chance to show their skills and work to us," Sheng Li told Ying Lili, who nodded. They turned towards the ground where a stage was made. The thrones were put on the raised platform, where they all took their respective seats.
Xing-Fu stood behind the throne on which Sheng Li was seated. He bent down and whispered in her ear, "Your Highness, there will be some regional dances and other art forms." He stepped back and lowered his head.
Sheng Li looked at Ying Lili. "Why were you acting that way in front of that young man?" Ying Lili complained.
"He is that con artist who read my palm. That idiot!" Sheng Li gritted his teeth.
"Sheng Li, he is poor. He is doing multi work to support his family. I think that there is some debt on him. Do not get angry with him. He is only doing his work. You should not act that way. Also, whatever he said was right in a sense. You indeed get angry in a short period of time," Ying Lili pronounced and smiled.
