Gifted Bride of the Sinned Prince

152 Mine only

“The market is fully crowded,” Li Hua said and heard the loud voices. She lifted her head and found colorful lanterns hanging in the air.

“It looks beautiful,” Li Hua murmured, and a tiny smile appeared on her lips. She tilted her head and peered into Lóng Wei’s eyes. “Elder First Brother should have also accompanied us,” Li Hua expressed her desire.

“To become a bone of contention between us?” Lóng Wei asked and took her inside.

“Pardon me, Your Highness. When did my Elder First Brother become a bone of contention? His Highness shall not say such a thing,” Li Hua retorted at him.

“Fine. Then, next time I will bring Xu Zifan with us. If I flirt with you in front of Xu Zifan, then don’t stop me,” Lóng Wei proclaimed. Li Hua opened her mouth to speak, but nothing came out of her mouth. She always lost against him in arguments.

“Young man, why don’t you buy something from our shop?” They both heard a masculine voice and turned to look at it. Li Hua refused him when Lóng Wei immediately agreed with her. He dragged Li Hua with him to the shop.

“Are you two newlyweds?” The man in his early twenties asked them.

“Yes,” Lóng Wei answered, and the two ascended the stairs to enter the shop. It was a cloth house for women with high-quality silk hanfu dresses. Many noble women were present in the shop. Li Hua turned a little nervous because of it.

“What kind of dress does the Young Master need for his wife?” The same man asked.

.....

“The most expensive one and the rarest one,” Lóng Wei replied and looked at Li Hua, who had lowered her head. He moved his head close to her ear and whispered, “You don’t need to feel nervous around your husband. You are no longer the young maiden named Li Hua, but you are now Princess Consort Li Hua.”

Li Hua gazed into his eyes and hummed.

“It is my first time seeing the Young Master in the town,” the man said after telling another worker to bring the dress, which Lóng Wei asked for.

“Yes. I am from the capital. However, my dear, lovely wife is from Xinshui,” Lóng Wei replied. He refrained from telling about his identity. The man smiled when a young maiden came to him. She informed him that her mistress wanted him to show the dresses.

“He is showing the dresses to us. Ask another worker in the shop,” Lóng Wei interrupted their conversation. Li Hua pinched the forearm of Lóng Wei, who turned to look at her. She shook her head.

“You called us to the shop, so you must assist us,” Lóng Wei said and smiled while arching his brow.

“Of Course, Young Master,” the man answered and asked the young maiden to ask her mistress to wait for a while. He asked them to take the seats, but Lóng Wei refused.

“What is your name?” Lóng Wei questioned him.

“I am Fei Jinshi,” the young man replied.

The worker brought the desired dress from the first floor. Fei Jinshi showed the hanfu dress to Lóng Wei, who found that the dress was indeed made of a high-quality silk. The embroidery looked perfect for the dress. Lóng Wei wondered if it would fit Li Hua.

“I will ask the helper to take measurements, Young Master,” Fei Jinshi told Lóng Wei, who stopped him. He grabbed the dress to check himself if Li Hua would fit in that dress when a young woman also grabbed its other edge.

“It will not fit your wife’s body. She is of small height. Instead, I would like to buy it,” the young lady answered and asked Fei Jinshi to give it to her.

“Leave it,” Lóng Wei told the young lady. Li Hua held the arm of Lóng Wei, who narrowly gazed at her. “I can buy a better dress for my wife at the other shop,” Lóng Wei said. Li Hua was happy because the Sixth Prince didn’t start any argument.

“However, once a thing or a person grabs my attention, then it’s mine only,” Lóng Wei stated and turned to look at the young lady. “Let go of it. Go away and look at the other dresses,” he rudely said. Li Hua was puzzled to see his reaction. He had promised that he would not behave wrongly with anyone.

The young woman was intimidated by his voice and moved her hand away.

“Fei Jinshi, I am your regular customer, yet you brought such a rude customer in the shop. I may report this incident to my father,” the young woman was not ready to give up on the dress.

Lóng Wei snickered. “What is wrong with the noble people these days? They love to show off their power for no reason,” Lóng Wei started the argument. Li Hua asked him to stop when he told her to stay quiet.

“Lawfully, I am the one who chose this dress before you. Unless I refuse to buy it, you cannot have it. So, there’s no need to report such petty matters to your noble father,” Lóng Wei made her understand.

The few people in the shop turned to look at them.

Fei Jinshi asked the young lady to calm down. He assured her that he would show her another dress.

“But this one is a rare piece,” the young lady was adamant to have that dress.

“Miss, you can take it,” Li Hua said and took the dress from Lóng Wei’s hand. She put it on the table and grasped Lóng Wei’s hand to take him out of the shop. It was such a small matter, yet he had to argue for no reason.

“That was a wise decision by you,” the young lady stated. Fei Jinshi glanced at Lóng Wei, who looked in a terrible mood.

Li Hua stepped forward to leave with her husband. To her surprise, Lóng Wei didn’t budge from his place.

“What does your father do?” Lóng Wei glared into the eyes of the young woman.

She chuckled and asked him to be respectful. “You might apologize for your behavior if you find out about it,” the young lady said, who was full of pride.

“Is there someone born who can make me apologize to him? I doubt that” Lóng Wei asserted. “If you want to show off your family, then you must do it right,” he stated.

“My lady’s father is the first rank official in the Crime and Law department.” This time the personal attendant spoke with a prideful expression. “So, you should be respectful to her and apologize for your wrong behavior,” she added.

“So, your master misuses his power,” Lóng Wei deduced. “I wonder if the King knows about it,” he looked confused and then showed his white teeth smile, “I think it’s the time to inform His Majesty.”

“The King isn’t available for people like you,” the young lady remarked.

Li Hua knew that it was the end for Lóng Wei’s patience. She looked into the eyes of the young woman.

“Please be respectful towards my husband, Miss,” Li Hua spoke this time. “Every person in this Kingdom has dignity, and every person is equal before the law. Every person’s voice can reach His Majesty. This dress has been maligned with your touch, so I will not like to buy it,” Li Hua humiliated her in front of dozens of people, and looked at Lóng Wei, who was astonished to see this side of Li Hua.
