Harper Shi Among the Royals Chapter 4

One night passed, and at noon the next day, Harper Shi woke up hungry and struggled.

Rubbing his sore waist, thinking of the madness last night, Harper Shi secretly cursed a B!tch who didn't know how to feel sorry for his wife.

If this B@st@ard didn't still have a little conscience and fetched water for himself to wash his body, Harper Shi would have given him the cold shoulder long ago.

After finally getting dressed and going out of the room, he saw Kaden talking to another man in the living room.

Today, Kaden was wearing the clothes brought by Aunt Zoe. Although it still made his skin very uncomfortable, Kaden wore the coarse cotton clothes willingly.

Seeing Harper Shi appear in his sight holding her waist, Kaden hurriedly stopped talking, came to Harper Shi and supported her.

"Xi'er, how are you? Is your waist sore?"

Harper Shi asked doubtfully: "Xi'er?"

"Well, Hua Ying, suck the drop of Feiquan Xi, and cherish the Hua Ying of Wanyan. Xi'er is the little character my husband chose for you, do you like it?"

Harper Shi rolled her eyes at Kaden, not understanding why the ancients always liked to give their wives nicknames, but when in Rome, follow the Romans, so Xier will be Xier.

This charming look caused an inexplicable electric current to appear in Kaden's body, which made his body numb and his legs and feet weak.

"Just Xi'er, I don't understand either. It sounds pretty good."

At this time, he felt a soreness in his waist and Harper Shi couldn't help rubbing it with his hands.

Kaden looked at it and asked, "Shall I rub it for you?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his thick hand and rubbed it towards Harper Shi's lower back, but Harper Shi slapped it away with his hand and lowered his voice and said angrily:

"Pay attention, there are still people here!"

Kaden didn't take this seriously and had long been accustomed to ignoring the big light bulb of Lionel Liang.

Lionel Liang: ...

After being helped into the living room, Harper Shi found that the dining table in the living room was filled with various exquisitely cooked dishes.

She looked at Kaden with a puzzled look, indicating that what was wrong with this dish?

Kaden's mind was spinning rapidly, and he immediately pointed at Lionel Liang who was standing aside and said, "It's him, he bought it for us in the restaurant."

"who is he?"

"Well..."

Kaden's mind was running fast, and he quickly found a reason: "Guard! I'm looking for a guard."

"Don't I need to do business? A person is bound to encounter danger. Seeing that he is tall and looks very strong, I bought it and put it by my side for protection."

"Guard?" Harper Shi raised his eyebrows.

Kaden nodded, and Lionel Liang on the side also bowed his head and agreed: "Yes, yes."

Harper Shi didn't believe it, so she pushed Kaden's hand that was holding her away. Seeing that Kaden wanted to reach out to help her again, Harper Shi slapped it away politely.

She held her waist by herself and tried to stand up straight. She looked around Lionel Liang twice as if she were a factory supervisor trying to train someone.

Seeing Harper Shi's posture, which was even more shocking than that of the Concub!ne in the palace, Lionel Liang was frightened to the extreme.

Harper Shi stopped in front of Lionel Liang and raised a pink fist in a feigned anger. Lionel Liang was so frightened that he knelt on the ground with a bang, his body still shaking slightly.

Harper Shi turned around, raised her eyebrows, and asked Kang Xi, "Is this your guard?"

Kaden rolled his eyes with guilt, not wanting to admit that it was his person.

He secretly scolded Lionel Liang for being hopeless and embarrassing himself.

Lionel Liang, who was kneeling on the ground, heard this question. He was not stupid, as he had been able to hold the position of eunuch chief for many years. He immediately replied, "Madam, I was indeed bought by the Third Master to be a bodyguard."

"You are the master. If you want to be beaten, it is more convenient for the little one to kneel down and let you do it. As long as you are happy, you can do whatever you want."

Harper Shi turned around and looked at Lionel Liang, who kept lowering his head and refused to raise his head. He frowned slightly and said nothing.

She just felt that this person was too servile, which made her lose interest in continuing to communicate.

Since she was a purchased guard, she could also be considered a member of her own family. She did not ask this person to change his servile nature, for fear that others would think she was an alien.

"Okay, get up! I'm kidding you, don't kneel down all the time, your knees will hurt just looking at you."

After listening to Lionel Liang's grateful thanks, he stood up and stood not far behind Kaden as a backdrop. Harper Shi only glanced at it and then looked away and stopped paying attention.

She hadn't gotten up to have breakfast in the morning, and she was already hungry. Seeing the food on the table that hadn't been touched with chopsticks, Harper Shi salivated and wanted to eat.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. The door was unlocked, and Aunt Zoe could only be heard shouting: "Sanlang, Yingzi, are you at home? I'm coming in!"

As soon as the voice fell, Aunt Zoe appeared at the door of the living room. Seeing that the two were there, Aunt Zoe smiled and said, "They are all here!"

"I thought you might not be able to get out of bed in the morning, so I didn't bring you breakfast. It's noon now. You must be hungry. Come on, come on. I brought you lunch. I'm afraid of you young people. I don't know how to exercise moderation and I missed my meal."

Hearing Aunt Zoe's words, Harper Shi's face turned hot, and she glared at Kang Xi fiercely.

Kaden had been paying attention to Harper Shi, and when he saw her glaring over, he touched his nose and looked away with some guilt.

Aunt Zoe walked into the living room with a food basket and saw the top delicacies on the table that had not been touched with chopsticks.

"Ah! Why did you buy so much food? It cost a lot of money, right? Young people, if you want to save money, you can't be so extravagant and wasteful."

As soon as I moved my eyes away from the table, I realized there was a man standing in the corner.

"Yo! There's another person!"

"I'm sorry! I just came in and didn't notice."

Lionel Liang hurriedly bent down and said humbly: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."

Although this person is an ordinary farmer, as long as he has a relationship with Miss Shi, he, as a slave, has to be polite to others.

Not to mention that the person in front of him has a special relationship with Miss Shi, so he has to be more respectful.

Who makes Miss Shi the emperor's favorite person now?

Aunt Zoe took Harper Shi aside and asked, "Who is this person? Why did he appear in your house?"

"He is the bodyguard hired by the third brother when he is away."

Turns out he was a bodyguard. It's dangerous outside, indeed. We should hire a bodyguard for protection.

Aunt Zoe then changed her serious face, pulled Kaden to the other side, and scolded in a low voice: "I mean, Sanlang, it's not easy to work hard outside. If you finally earn some money, you should save it and don't spend too much money." "

"When you have children in the future, you will have more places to spend money. If you don't save money now, why don't you have to wait until you are old to go all out?"

"Listen to Auntie and stop spending money randomly, you know?"

Kaden...

Yes! You are my aunt, so you are right.

It is indeed not easy for me to make money. I have to support a large group of people to work, and after that I have to prevent them from forming alliances in private and taking advantage of me.

Life was indeed quite difficult.

"And the Jade Yang pendant you gave to Quentin Zhang yesterday. It looks very valuable. How can a kid accept such an expensive gift? Take it back."

As she spoke, Aunt Zoe took out the Jade Yang pendant from her bosom and wanted to return it to Kaden, but Kaden refused.

"No, no, it's just a Jade Yang pendant. There's no reason to take it back as a meeting gift I gave out, so just keep it!"

"Also, I didn't buy this meal. I made a friend when I was doing business. He knew I was back in Beijing and said he wanted to help me."

"I didn't go to the wedding yesterday, because it was a wedding. Today, the man had to go on a business trip, so he heated up the food that he didn't eat yesterday and sent it to my house. So, I didn't spend any money."

Aunt Zoe accepted the Jade Yang pendant and asked with some disbelief: "Really?"

"Really, I'm a businessman! I know people from all over the world and do everything." Kaden explained, wiping the sweat from his head.

Harper Shi couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard this. Just now she said it was bought by a guard, but now she directly said it was given by someone else. She didn't know which of the words in this man's mouth was true.

She is beginning to regret it now. Is it right or wrong to marry such a man?

"Well, that's pretty much it."

"You have food on the table, so I won't embarrass you by bringing mine out. If you eat first, I will go back first. You don't need to send it to me. You can eat it."

After saying that, Aunt Zoe turned around and was about to leave. Harper Shi quickly stopped her, "Auntie, you haven't eaten either, have you?"

"You see, there are too many dishes on the table. We can't finish them all. Why don't we stay and eat? It will be more lively this way."

Thinking that her grandson was the only one at home, Aunt Zoe still refused and said, "No! Your sister-in-law went back to her parents' house to collect tree sap for you this morning. I'm not worried about Quentin Zhang being at home alone."

"Then I'll invite Qi Ming to come and eat with me. Doesn't he love roasted chicken the most? There's one on the table."

The ancients paid great attention to the defense of men and women. Even if they had a good relationship, Harper Shi was embarrassed to invite Sister-in-law Yang here when Kaden was still there. Now that Sister-in-law Yang was away, it was just right to ask Xiao Douding to come and have dinner with her.

Seeing that Aunt Zoe was somewhat interested but reluctant to agree, Kaden tried to persuade her to stay: "Aunt, I have seen how much you have taken care of Xier. Now that we have a good meal, let my husband and I treat you well."

Hearing Kaden call Yingzi Xi'er, Aunt Zoe looked at Kaden a few more times but said nothing.

After all, picking up characters is mostly something that scholars like to do. She is old enough and has seen a lot, so there is nothing strange about it.

Seeing that they all sincerely wanted to keep him, and thinking that his grandson had not had roast chicken for a long time, he agreed.

"Okay, I'll take advantage of you and have a good meal."

"Stop standing around. Sit down. I'll call Quentin Zhang over."

"No need, let me go and call!" Harper Shi said as she took a step towards the door. After taking a few steps, perhaps because she took too big a step, she accidentally pulled her waist. A pain instantly spread throughout her body, making her unstable and she was about to fall.

Seeing this, Kaden and Aunt Zoe hurriedly reached out to help, and in the end it was Kaden who was quick enough to hold the man.

"Are you OK?"

Harper Shi shook her head, and Aunt Zoe smiled like an aunt at the side, and even slapped Kaden: "Young man, he is full of energy, but he doesn't know how to take care of his wife."

"Why don't you help the person to a chair quickly?"

Kaden endured the pain in his waist and nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, yes!"

"Looking at your condition, you'd better not move around. You'll be fine after a few days. I'll go call Quentin Zhang."

"Yeah, sorry, auntie."

Lionel Liang looked on and felt a cold sweat for Harper Shi and Aunt Zoe.

The emperor has never been pinched or slapped by anyone. Today he met two of them. It seems that the emperor really cares about Miss Shi.

In his heart, Lionel Liang silently mentioned Harper Shi's status again and again.

After Harper Shi sat down, Aunt Zoe saw Lionel Liang standing not far away and quickly greeted her again.

"Big brother, why don't you stop standing and come sit down and eat together?"

Lionel Liang was shocked when he heard this. How could he, a eunuch, dare to sit and eat with the emperor?

"no, I'm fine."

Seeing that Aunt Zoe was still carrying a food basket, Lionel Liang approached, reached for Aunt Zoe's food basket and said, "I will eat this, just eat this, you can eat with me and my wife, don't worry about me."

Aunt Zoe looked at Kaden with some confusion, and Kaden explained: "Auntie, don't worry about him. He is a grown man and will take care of himself."

Lionel Liang nodded respectfully and said, "Yes." He took the food box to the kitchen and found a place to eat by himself.

Harper Shi also advised: "Maybe he hasn't had dinner with the master, forget it! The food is getting cold, aunt, go and call Quentin Zhang to come and eat."

In this regard, Aunt Zoe had nothing to say, so she responded and went home to call for help.
