Double Life: The Long Road to Chasing Your Wife

Shi Ying took the teacup handed over by Long Yuqi and took a sip.

He took out a jade pendant and tied it around Long Yuqi's waist.

She had known for a long time that King Xian had a son. After Mrs. Shi found out that Shi Ying had been married to King Xian, she took out 1000 taels and bought a jade pendant as a gift from Shi Ying to Long Yuqi.

On the surface, Long Yuqi said calmly:

"Thank you, concubine mother!"

In my heart: "The jade pendant given by my mother is very beautiful. When I go back, I will throw away the one my father gave me. I will wear this one given by my mother every day from now on."

Long Yuqi showed no expression. Shi Ying thought that Long Yuqi didn't like her because after all, she took the position of his biological mother.

Shi Ying smiled awkwardly.

"You're welcome, Your Majesty, there's no need to be so polite. We'll all be a family from now on."

Long Yuqi looked at Shi Ying who was smiling at him, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

"Oh my! Where did the emperor find a concubine for me? She speaks so nicely. She's taking advantage of that old bastard my father." But Long Yuqi only said it in his heart and didn't dare to show it. He was afraid of being scared. To Shi Ying.

After breakfast, the three of them went to the palace to kowtow to express their gratitude. The Queen Mother and the Emperor were very satisfied with Shi Ying. After all, it had been five years and Prince Xian had finally found a girl he liked. Someone finally married into Prince Xian's palace to take care of Prince Xian and his son. They are naturally happy.

So the Empress Dowager and the Emperor rewarded Shi Ying with many jewels. Seeing this, the Empress and the empresses in other palaces also began to fawn over Shi Ying, causing Shi Ying to come empty-handed and the carriage was almost full when she returned.

Three days later, Shi Ying returned home with Long Yuqi. Long Yuqi sweetly called Mrs. Shi grandma. Only then did Mrs. Shi know what the host meant when she said that Shi Ying would have a grandchild as soon as she got married.

On the day Shi Ying returned home, both Mrs. Shi and Lin Shu reminded Shi Ying to stock up on more food at Prince Xian's Mansion when she returned.

Shi Ying was not married to an ordinary person, so Shi Jingke and his wife naturally did not dare to ask King Xian to celebrate the New Year at Shi's residence.

King Xian was very puzzled as to how the Shi family knew about hoarding food, but he didn't ask in detail. When the time came, he took Shi Ying back to the palace.

Because Aunt Qin always stared at Shi Ying, which made Shi Ying very uncomfortable. King Xian was also unhappy when he saw that Shi Ying's temperament was being restricted. He hoped that Shi Ying would be as happy as before she got married.

So King Xian bought two more clever girls from outside to serve Shi Ying, and Nanny Qin was responsible for helping take care of the palace when she had nothing to do.

King Xian warned him not to let Nanny Qin interfere with the affairs between Shi Ying and him anymore.

Seeing Grandma Qin being cruel to Shi Ying, Long Yuqi secretly put laxatives in Grandma Qin's food in order to avenge Shi Ying, causing Grandma Qin to become weak.

Long Yuqi also liked Shi Ying very much. Under the pampering of his father and son, Shi Ying gradually recovered her true nature and began to behave wildly in Prince Xian's Mansion.

Shi Ying's life in Prince Xian's Mansion was more carefree than in Shi's Mansion.

After a while……

On this day, Long Yuqi was practicing calligraphy, and Shi Ying was eating melon seeds beside him, walking around Long Yuqi from time to time.

If Long Yuqi ignored Shi Ying, Shi Ying would poke Long Yuqi's arm with her finger, causing Long Yuqi to write wrong words.

Seeing Long Yuqi's frown, Shi Ying laughed happily.

"Mother, I was punished by my father to practice calligraphy yesterday because I didn't finish my homework in time. You should be good and wait until I finish practicing the calligraphy before I let you play with me."

Shi Ying crossed her arms and pouted, saying:

"You have been practicing for several hours today. Your father will be back in a while. Your father will not let you play with me when he comes back."

Shi Ying picked up another snack and stuffed it into her mouth.

"I've been practicing calligraphy with you today, and I didn't even leave the study. I'm almost bored to death."

Long Yuqi thought about it and realized that it was indeed like this. The academy had taken a break for the past few days. After he completed the homework assigned by his master, King Xian would also give him various homework every day. After he finished, King Xian would come back, and then King Xian occupied his mother-in-law and asked Achang to take him out to play.

Long Yuqi thought, no, he has to go back to the academy tomorrow. King Xian will be back soon. Playing with his mother and concubine is more important, so it's okay if he doesn't practice this word.

"Concubine, don't eat. Let's go. I'll take you out to play."

Shi Ying's eyes suddenly lit up. After marrying King Xian, she couldn't go out and play as she did at her parents' house. King Xian would take her with him every time he went out. Even in the house, there would always be people watching her.

"But Chunmei Dongxue is at the door, and they have been following me."

Chunmei Dongxue is the new girl Xian Wang bought to serve Shi Ying. In addition to cleaning the room, she is responsible for accompanying Shi Ying on weekdays.

King Xian’s original intention was to let Chunmei Dongxue accompany Shi Ying so that Shi Ying would not be lonely at home.

But Shi Ying didn't have a maid to take care of her at her parents' house. Now she has people following her wherever she goes. In addition, Shi Ying and Chunmei Dongxue are not familiar with each other yet, so she feels particularly uncomfortable.

Long Yuqi glanced at the person guarding the door and had an idea in a flash.

Long Yuqi raised his hand and waved to Shi Ying.

"Concubine, I have an idea, please come here."

After a while, Shi Ying touched Long Yuqi's head and said:

"Qier, you are so smart."

Hearing Shi Ying praise herself, Long Yuqi blushed and scratched the back of his head.

So Long Yuqi said to Chunmei Dongxue:

"You two, one of you will go to the kitchen to see what's for lunch, and the other will go out and buy some snacks. What you bought in the morning is too little, not enough for my son and my concubine."

Chunmei Dongxue responded and left.

Long Yuqi took Shi Ying to his room. He took out the private money he had hidden and said he would take Shi Ying out to eat delicious food.

"Concubine, this is where I hide my private money. Don't tell my father! Every time the gold, silver and jewelry that Grandma Huang gave me were taken away by my father, saying that they would be used for me to marry a wife in the future. Prince Hall I have hidden the red envelopes that my sister-in-law and other Aunt Wang gave me during the holidays. If you need money in the future, you can come here and get it directly. Just tell me afterwards."

"Qier, you have so little money! Your father gave me the keys to the warehouse. If you want money from now on, just tell me and I will take you to the warehouse to get it."

……

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Long Yuqi didn't expect King Xian to give the key to the warehouse to Shi Ying.

"You didn't ask earlier!"

"I was the one who was rude, concubine, let's leave quickly! We won't be able to leave when our father comes back later."

So Long Yuqi led Shi Ying to a broken yard. He usually escaped from the dog hole, cleared the weeds and wooden boards, and got out with Shi Ying.

After coming out, Long Yuqi carefully blocked the dog hole with wooden boards.

Shi Ying stood up and patted herself.

"Qier, you are great! We can both come out from here to play in the future."

"Then this is a secret between my mother and concubine. Mother and concubine, don't tell anyone else! Especially my father, otherwise we won't be able to come out at will in the future."
