His Rui

Chapter 806: Li Rui's Gift To Xi Ying

After that morning, Li Rui saw Xi Ying taking the same medicine for the whole month. Every time, she would see him drinking the medicine, she would find herself questioning.          

    

Why would he love her so much?      

However, at the same time, she would feel guilty as she thought that she didn't have anything to give to him in return.      

As a result after so many thoughts, Li Rui decided to give something to Xi Ying.      

For the next few days when Xi Ying went to the Imperial Court to attend the Imperial Assembly, Li Hua saw her mistress taking a needle and cloth and sitting to embroider something.      

She sighed when she saw this scene as she knew that her mistress would be unable to embroider something beautiful. She just wished that it would not be she who would be asked by her mistress whether her embroidery looked beautiful or not.      

However, Li Rui didn't do something like this at all.      

She was aware that she couldn't do good embroidery.      

However, she didn't know what else she could give to Xi Ying. She was not good at embroidery but she knew a little bit of it.      

Almost a week later, one morning, she stood in front of her husband who looked at her with a confused smile on his lips.     

"Rui, do you want to go out today?"     

In Xi Ying's mind, his wife looked like this when she wanted something and this something was that she wanted to go out.      

She never asked him for something else and Xi Ying could understand her.      

She had lived a large part of her life inside a huge manor. Her wish to go out and visit new places was not unreasonable.      

However, he was left confused when she shook her head in 'no' and then suddenly presented something in front of him.      

He looked at her hand and picked the cloth from it.      

A moment later, he realized that it was a sachet.      

He could smell a very nice fragrance coming from it. One thing that he liked the most was that …its fragrance was the same as that of his wife.     

Suddenly his attention was gained by the embroidery on the sachet.      

His eyes went blank and he raised her head to look at her.      

"You…did you do it on your own?"     

Li Rui's looked calm as she nodded her head. However, Xi Ying could clearly see her red ears. She was shy.      

Xi Ying suppressed his smile and looked down at the sachet again.      

She had written his and her name using the thread.      

'Ying     

Rui'         

    

As he looked at the two words, Xi Ying's adam apple wobbled, and then the next moment, he dragged his wife in his arms.      

A gasp escaped from Li Rui's lips when her lips were suddenly captured by him.      

When the kiss ended, Xi Ying had this huge grin on his lips and he whispered as his lips still hovered over her lips.      

"Wife, I like it very much."     

Though she was feeling shy, she couldn't help but smile when she saw him smiling like that.      

As a result, today the ministers in the Imperial Court saw a sachet hanging on the young prime minister's waist.      

It was not that a man having a sachet was uncommon. However, it was the first time that they were seeing Xi Ying having a sachet.      

And they didn't know why the young prime minister seemed to be telling them indirectly to look at the sachet hanging on his waist again and again.      

Ah! They must be having illusions.     

However, they were forced to rethink again when Xi Ying who was talking to Minister Xin about something suddenly looked at the sachet hanging on the latter's waist and said      

"Minister Xin, who gave you that sachet?"     

Minister Xin was startled by the sudden change in conversation but soon composed himself.      

Putting a polite smile on his lips, he told him     

"This…this was given to me by my daughter."     

Mentioning his daughter, Minister Xin looked very happy. Xi Ying nodded his head.      

A moment later, he suddenly said in a proud laced tone     

"Mine was given to me by my wife. She wrote our name on her own."     

Minister Xin was again startled and wondered for a moment what he should say. He looked at the young prime minister and then suddenly smiled.      

"En? Prime Minister Xi and Lady Li have a harmonious relationship."     

Who had ever thought that the dignified Prime Minister of Xin could behave like this for a woman!     

"En"     

Xi Ying said proudly.      

By the end of the Imperial Assembly, almost everyone present knew that Xi Ying's sachet was given to him by Li Rui.      

In fact, Xi Ying didn't even leave Zhao Zhang Wei.      

When he went to the Imperial Study room to show the progress of the newly added regions to Zhao Zhang Wei, he proudly told the latter about the sachet.          

    

As a result, when Xi Ying left, Zhao Zhang Wei looked at his back with envy-filled eyes and not so a good face.      

Returning to his Empress's chambers, he started reviewing documents after having lunch with Yi Huiqing while the latter read a book silently.      

It was a few moments later when Yi Huiqing suddenly heard Zhao Zhang Wei say     

"Lady Li made a sachet for Prime Minister Xi."     

Yi Huiqing was surprised when she heard this and couldn't help but say      

"Ah…when did Rui learn that? As much as I remember, Rui was never good at sewing clothes and embroidery."     

Zhao Zhang Wei looked at her with a little disappointment. This was not the kind of reaction he wanted but he answered her question.     

"She wrote Prime Minister Xi and her name on it. No embroidery."     

"Oh…"     

Yi Huiqing nodded her head and smiled.      

However, then she lowered her head to continue reading her book.      

Zhao Zhang Wei blinked seeing her lips.      

A deep frown marred his face as he wondered what he should do. Should he say that he also wanted her to make a sachet for him where Zhang Wei and Qingqing would be written together?      

But …that would be too embarrassing.      

In the end, he could only give up and continue to do his work with a wounded heart.     

However, that night, Yi Huiqing seemed to think that the man was surely taking some kind of revenge on her as he didn't leave her till the morning rays flickered in the sky.      

Angered, she didn't even get up to help him when he was about to leave in the morning.      

Zhao Zhang Wei didn't mind it.      

He was satisfied but guilty as well for tiring her out.      

He left a peck on her lips and instructed Lin Daiyu to let her rest.      

It was in the evening when he returned to the chambers that Yi Huiqing suddenly put a pair of shoes in front of him.      

Zhao Zhang Wei was shocked as he looked at the beautiful shoes.      

"Here…I have started it a week ago but it takes time to make shoes so it mmphh…"      

She couldn't complete her words as Zhao Zhang Wei suddenly carried her to his lap and then loved her fiercely.      

In amidst all this, he suddenly noticed something and looked at her fingers.          

    

"Qingqing, did you poke yourself while making them?"     

"It's normal."     

She said calmly but Zhao Zhang Wei felt distressed as he looked at her fingers. In the end, he ordered that she was not allowed to pick the needle again and repeatedly kissed her fingers as if his kisses could soothe them.      

The next day, Zhao Zhang Wei showed his shoes to Xi Ying proudly.      

Even when the young prime minister told him to his face that he was being childish, he didn't look embarrassed at all.      

However, it was another thing that he didn't wear those shoes again.      

They rested inside his chambers.      

He was afraid to dirty them. They were meant to be treasured.      

After all, they were given to him by Qingqing.
