The Prince Consort's Beloved

Who would have thought that those two erotic books would later become the first sexual enlightenment books for Xiao Luobai and Li Yuanrou, who would often shamelessly lie together and flip through the books and discuss them from time to time. But that's a story for later.

At this moment, Li Yuanrou was so frightened by Xiao Luobai's evil questioning that she dared not open her eyes. She grabbed the corners of the quilt with both hands and pulled it upwards, covering herself completely, thinking that he would not be able to see her in this way. She was really ashamed to see people at the moment.

Xiao Luobai's low laughter reached her ears from outside the quilt, and she turned red with shame and anger.

Of course, Xiao Luobai was teasing her on purpose, and he thought she was so adorable in this state.

Xiao Luobai was concerned about Li Yuanrou's crying after drinking, and felt that he was indeed too busy these days and had little time to accompany her, so he specially took a day off to take Li Yuanrou out to play.

Eat buns, go shopping, listen to books and drink tea all in one.

At the door of the jewelry store, Li Yuanrou repeatedly reminded Xiao Luobai: "Don't speak when you go in, and it's best to stand farther away."

Xiao Luobai looked at her suspiciously: "What?"

Li Yuanrou flexed his arms: "Kill them all!"

The two men entered the shop one after the other. When the shopkeeper saw that the visitor was Xiao Luobai, he was about to come forward and bow. Xiao Luobai walked behind Li Yuanrou and gestured to him, asking him to pretend that they didn't know each other.

The shop owners of all the major shops in the capital knew each other, especially Xiao Luobai, a wealthy businessman who was known to everyone.

The shopkeeper understood what Xiao Luobai meant, and immediately turned his hand and eyes to Li Yuanrou, "Miss, please come in and take your pick. They are all top-quality items."

Everything was normal at the beginning. Xiao Luobai sat there drinking tea while watching the shopkeeper personally introduce various jewelry to Li Yuanrou. Li Yuanrou finally chose a pair of earrings, a jade pendant, two pearl hairpins, a white magnolia hairpin, and a waist ornament. The shopkeeper wanted one thousand two hundred taels. After haggling for a long time, the shopkeeper endured the pain and said he would give her one thousand taels.

Li Yuanrou refused and continued to bargain, finally offering a price of seven hundred taels. Xiao Luobai had been watching with great interest, with a smile on his face, but when he heard this, his hand holding the teacup trembled and some tea spilled.

The shopkeeper and Xiao Luobai were so shocked by the price of seven hundred taels that they couldn't believe it, and both opened their mouths wide. The shopkeeper covered his chest and glanced at Xiao Luobai in embarrassment. Xiao Luobai quickly made a gesture to him to make the deal, meaning that he would pay the owed money privately.

In this way, the deal was concluded for seven hundred taels. When paying, Li Yuanrou still felt distressed, so she held the banknote and handed it over. The shopkeeper pulled her hand twice but she refused to let go. Finally, Li Yuanrou asked the shopkeeper to give her four sandalwood combs. The shopkeeper wiped his sweat as he sent the two of them away.

Li Yuanrou looked triumphant, which made Xiao Luobai laugh: "If you bargain like this, those shops will probably lose their business."

Li Yuanrou raised her eyebrows, looking very experienced: "You don't understand, when buying things, you have to bargain for half the price. I haven't even bargained for half yet, leaving him some room. Look at how the shopkeeper sold it to me so happily in the end. Although he gave me four combs as a gift, I'm sure he still made a profit. These big stores are used to ripping off customers."

Xiao Luobai's eyebrows twitched when he heard these words. He really didn't know who was being slaughtered. If the major shopkeepers in the capital city heard this statement, they would probably be so shocked that they would have a stroke and fall to the ground.

Besides, was the comb a gift to you? You forced it and you wouldn't leave unless they gave it to you. The shopkeeper was about to cry just now.

He asked, "What use do you have for a comb? The one I gave you is not as good as the one you have in your house."

Li Yuanrou looked at him as if he were a fool: "How can you, the biggest profiteer in the capital, say such a thing? If you don't take advantage of an opportunity, you are a fool. Do you understand?"

Xiao Luobai nodded thoughtfully: "If you don't take advantage of an opportunity, you are a fool. This sentence makes sense! I will remember it."

Li Yuanrou patted his shoulder with a look of satisfaction: "This young man is teachable and can understand things at once."

Xiao Luobai asked again: "Why do you want to send four combs? What do you need so many for?"

Li Yuanrou said, "Give them to the four girls when you get back. Just enough for each of them."

Xiao Luobai asked again: "If there are ten maids, do you have to ask the shopkeeper for ten combs?"

Li Yuanrou tilted her head and stroked her chin, as if thinking whether this was feasible. After a long pause, she said, "It's not impossible."

Xiao Luobai was speechless for a long time. He felt that he still didn't know Li Yuanrou well enough and needed to find an opportunity to get to know her more deeply.

The two of them entered a well-known large silk shop. The shopkeeper was very attentive and smiling. Xiao Luobai sat aside and drank tea as usual.

Li Yuanrou selected ten rolls of top-quality cloth, and the shopkeeper agreed to the price no matter how much she asked. She lowered the price from more than three hundred taels to one hundred taels, and the shopkeeper still smiled. Li Yuanrou was confused and asked the shopkeeper, "You'll sell it for one hundred taels?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Sell!"

The woman who came in later also came over to ask, "One hundred taels of so much fine cloth? I want some too."

The shopkeeper immediately stopped smiling and said, "Not for sale."

The girl was anxious: "How can you be so untrustworthy as a shopkeeper? Didn't you just say one hundred taels?"

The shopkeeper replied, "That woman is our boss's wife. She's just kidding me with the 100 or 50 taels. She's giving it away for free or even paying me back. If you want to buy it, you can only pay the original price."

The girl was surprised, and Li Yuanrou was also surprised.

Li Yuanrou quickly walked over and beat Xiao Luobai. Xiao Luobai smiled softly, his face full of pampering: "Take whichever one you like."

Xiao Luobai pushed her over to choose the goods: "Go over and choose more. When you're done, have the clerk deliver them all to your house."

Li Yuanrou's eyes sparkled, and she hugged Xiao Luobai's arm and began to praise him: "Wow, my husband is so amazing."

He said a lot of flattery, then waved his hand rudely and had the guy load a whole car with the goods.

Xiao Luobai was very pleased with the compliment, and he took her to visit several of his own shops, including jewelry shops, clothing shops, antique shops, and restaurants. Li Yuanrou felt like she had really found a treasure: "Why do you dabble in all these industries?"

Xiao Luobai said: "Because they are all your favorites."

Li Yuanrou was about to cry with joy: "So it's all opened for me?"

Xiao Luobai nodded, and Li Yuanrou felt both happy and sad. She was happy that he had done so much for her, but she was also sad that he had done so much for her, and how hard he must have worked in the past ten years.

Tired of strolling, the two went to a teahouse to rest and listen to a story. The storyteller was talking about Li Yuanrou again: "It is said that our Princess Shanyang is born with a beauty that can make fish sink to the bottom of the moon and geese fall to the ground. She also has an elegant and noble aura that makes people unforgettable after just one look..."

Li Yuanrou nodded and said, "Well, you spoke well today. I will reward you handsomely later."

The storyteller continued, "It's just that Princess Shanyang has always loved handsome men, and she is quite resourceful. She has kidnapped several handsome men and hidden them in her mansion. It is said that she can have sex with five men at night."

Li Yuanrou spat out the tea she hadn't swallowed in time, attracting the attention of people nearby. She raised one arm, covered her face with her wide sleeves, wiped the tea from the corner of her mouth and looked at Xiao Luobai. Xiao Luobai had a playful smile on his lips and teased, "Your Highness is truly gifted to be able to control five men at night. I admire you."

Li Yuanrou glared at him angrily: "I sleep in the same bed with you every day, don't you know that I have sex with five men at night?"

The storyteller on the stage spoke again: "It's just a pity for her prince consort. The prince consort is of elegant appearance and is very much loved by the princess. Unfortunately, the two of them are not in harmony with each other. The prince consort is humiliated by Princess Shanyang every day, as a result, he has dark circles under his eyes and looks listless every time he goes out. It's really pitiful." As he spoke, he shook his head with regret.

Xiao Luobai was stunned for a moment, and the mocking expression on his face that he had just used to mock Li Yuanrou no longer appeared.

Li Yuanrou also looked at Xiao Luobai with a confused look on her face, staring at his eyes and observing carefully: "You really have dark circles under your eyes, did you do something behind my back at night?"

The corner of Xiao Luobai's mouth twitched, and he blamed various people for the dark circles under his eyes. First, he blamed the Chamber of Commerce, saying that he was a little tired because there were so many things to deal with recently. Then he blamed Qingfeng, saying that Qingfeng didn't let him feel at ease. Finally, he successfully put the blame on Wangcai. Seeing that Li Yuanrou stopped asking questions, he breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his eyes, and rubbed his temples helplessly.

Li Yuanrou immediately called out Qingluan who was hiding in the dark, generously gave her five hundred taels, and ordered her to pick a few big teahouses and restaurants to bribe the storyteller to clarify that the rumors that she and Xiao Luobai were in love were all false and false, and to publicize that the two of them were now in harmony and in love. Finally, the most important thing was to make it clear that she did not have sex with five men at night, that was all bullshit! She only had one man, the prince consort, and she had changed her ways and no longer did the things she used to do, such as fighting and killing.

In a word, she only loves her husband!

When Qingluan was about to leave, she actually stopped him and said, "Spend your money sparingly. It would be best if you can save some money."

Xiao Luobai was listening at the side, with the corners of his mouth raised ever since.

After receiving the order, Qingluan quickly disappeared in the teahouse.

Li Yuanrou didn't want to eat her own melon anymore. Xiao Luobai used to like eating Li Yuanrou's melon, but if the melon contained himself, he wouldn't like to eat it either. As expected, one doesn't feel the pain if the stick doesn't hit oneself. The two looked at each other tacitly and left together.
