234 While I am alive

Ying Lili, after completing her work and addressing the Princesses regarding their next day routine, returned to her chamber. "Court Lady Xu, there is nothing more to do, right?" Ying Lili asked. 

"Everything is completed, your highness," Court Lady Xu replied. Ying Lili nodded and turned towards the chamber. She walked in and turned to the second entrance. Pushing the curtains away, she saw Sheng Li there, who was seated around the ground table. "You're here?" 

"Hmm. I was waiting for you for an hour," Sheng Li asserted. "Come here," he then said. Ying Lili gulped and walked near him. Sheng Li pulled her down and made him sit beside him. 

"I became a laughing stock thanks to you," Sheng Li affirmed. 

Ying Lili acted as if she did not know anything. "What did I do?" She asked. Sheng Li brought his forefinger and thumb under Ying Lili's chin thus, bringing her face closer to him. 

"You don't remember?" Sheng Li questioned.
