100 ways to trick a boy into going to sleep

Chapter 794 Begonia Spring

Seeing the man's gaze change repeatedly, she chuckled softly and retreated to a safe distance.

Men, the more unattainable something is, the more they crave it.

She has no shortage of energy now, so she can certainly deal with him properly.

"It's late, my lord, please go back."

The red skirt hem, cool and thick under the moonlight, gently brushed against his outer robe.

Before he could even fully process what was happening, she had already closed the door.

As he stumbled out of the villa, a chilly breeze abruptly jolted him awake! He had settled her in the main courtyard from the start, never considering where he would stay that night…

......

Just as Li Jie was about to turn off the lights, a servant came to announce that the Crown Prince had arrived and was waiting in the front hall.

He raised an eyebrow slightly, but didn't complain. He simply put on an outer robe and went out.

My elder brother is always a steady and reliable person. He must have something urgent to discuss with me since he came so late. I dare not neglect him.

Stepping over the threshold of the hall, one sees a man staring intently at the cups and saucers on the table under a dim yellow light.

"Brother."

"Fourth brother."

"Brother, is something troubling you?" he asked, taking the teacup brought by the maid.

The tea that Wuzhou had recently presented as tribute was quite good. He was just a military man and didn't bother with such refined pursuits, but since his elder brother loved it, he brought his own share.

Sweet and refreshing, with a rich tea aroma.

Of course, this is just a scholar's opinion. He only felt that it was warmer and more comforting than soup, and that having a few cups in the early April weather, when it was still chilly, was just right.

Li Yin glanced at his younger brother, then gently curved the corners of his mouth. People say that Tang Gong's third son is suspicious, arrogant, and extravagant, but in his eyes, Sanhu is a good child.

"I brought a woman back today, are you aware of that?"

Li Jie was taken aback at first, not expecting his brother to bring this up: "I heard that there's something wrong with that woman's identity?"

He arrived a few days earlier than his brother, so he didn't get to see the real face of that Lady Shen. He only heard people talking about it today, saying that when she rode through the streets on horseback, he caught a glimpse of her and she looked like a goddess, with unparalleled beauty.

However, the elder brother was not one to indulge in beautiful women. Over the years, what kind of beauties hadn't they seen? In addition, with the second brother eyeing him covetously, he assumed that his elder brother thought the woman's identity was suspicious, which was why he brought her back despite the criticism.

Li Yin was also taken aback by Li Jie's murderous question.

Then he burst into laughter.

"She will be your brother's sister-in-law in the future."

"what?!"

The tea that had just entered his mouth was immediately sprayed out!

Li Jie's eyes widened in disbelief!

He had no women in his household, so he followed his elder brother's example and took the country and the people as his responsibility. He never expected that his elder brother would suddenly tell him that he would soon have a sister-in-law.

"Be more composed," Li Yin said gently, handing a handkerchief to his younger brother.

Li Jie wiped his mouth hastily and asked again in disbelief, "Brother, you want to marry her?" "Yes."

“My elder brother’s marriage is a major national event and should not be taken lightly.”

"My mind is made up."

As the younger brother, he shouldn't have interfered in his elder brother's private affairs, but his elder brother's status was special, and there were some things he had to say.

"Now that the throne has been established, my brother's wife will be the future mother of the country. There are many noble ladies in Chang'an. Even if she is not chosen from the daughters of powerful ministers, she should be chosen from a prominent family. Otherwise, how can she help my brother in the future? Putting all that aside, the timing of that woman's appearance is suspicious. What if she is a spy by my brother's side?"

Before Li Jie could finish speaking, Li Yin interrupted him.

"Fourth brother, you mustn't talk nonsense. It was I who was pestering her, and the letter requesting the imperial decree to grant us marriage was sent from the post station this evening."

"Brother!"

"Alright, there's no need to discuss this matter again."

Li Jie angrily downed the tea in his cup. "If that's the case, what brings you here tonight, brother?"

When the matter was brought up, Li Yin coughed lightly, feeling a little uncomfortable, and sat up a little straighter: "I have a subordinate whose wife is exceptionally beautiful and about your age. Before her marriage, she had dozens of lovers. I want to ask, how can you be sure that she has no other lovers besides me and my subordinate?"

"Brother just said, how many lovers does she have?" Li Jie thought he had misheard.

Li Yin's face immediately turned bright red: "Dozens of lovers."
