Chapter 26: Sleeping Together. Achieved!

Which man had never dreamed of riding into battle? However, Su Li remained a diligent person. If his attribute points were not at their maximum, he would simply think about it. After acquiring the life experience of a seasoned warrior, Su Li finally understood that real combat was unpredictable. Besides falling on the battlefield, there were numerous peculiar ways to meet ones death. Sometimes, even a minor wound infected with tetanus could lead to death. Su Li decided against stocking up on additional medicine and instead focused on improving his physical fitness. He had no intention of venturing onto the battlefield.

Furthermore, during the early years of the Tang Dynasty, opportunities for glory were abundant, and even if Su Li were unbeatable, it would be merely a bonus. Besides, he was not eager to rush into the battlefield like a frantic mite. What was the hurry?

Su Li scrubbed his body after soaking in jujube water for a while. It had become quite filthy after not showering for over a month. The grey filth scraped off his body could have been used to make noodles. Once he thoroughly washed his hair, Su Li changed his clothes and emerged from the inner room.

Upon leaving the inner room, several maids were already waiting in the outer room. Sir, please have a seat!

Su Li knelt down and took a seat while the maids brought towels one after another. They carefully separated Su Lis hair into strands, washing and drying them carefully. In ancient times, hair dryers didnt exist, and everyone typically had long hair. Even after wiping it, Su Lis hair remained damp, so he had to wait for it to dry naturally. Of course, this was the practice of the less fortunate. In wealthier households, servants would usually hold towels with excellent water absorption, carefully separating and drying the strands of hair. It was time-consuming, but the less fortunate couldnt afford such luxuries.

Ah Who wouldnt know about the corrupt life of feudalism Su Li thought. No wonder everyone hated corruption, it was like everyone wanted a taste of it, didnt they?

This was the first time Su Li experienced the treatment he deserved as a son-in-law. It felt pleasant, but Su Li didnt allow himself to pamper. He believed it was better to focus on earning points. After drying his hair, Su Li hastily departed.

When Su Li arrived, the female officer who had been taking care of Princess Changle was the one present. Upon seeing Su Lis arrival, the female officer tactfully stepped back.

Su Li continued with the rehabilitation treatment for Princess Changle, as he had been doing all along. He diligently carried out the treatment as usual, following the established routine.

During the noon mealtime, Su Li proceeded to feed Princess Changle, ensuring she received her nourishment. He adhered to the regular feeding schedule, ensuring the princess was well cared for.

In the afternoon, Su Li maintained his practice of holding Princess Changle and captivating her with stories. He kept her company and entertained her with engaging tales, as he had done before.

Su Li couldnt help but notice a significant change in the female officers attitude toward him. He sensed that her respect for him was merely superficial and lacked sincerity. However, Su Li chose not to complain about it. After all, he recognized that as the governor of the Princess Mansion, the female officer held a prestigious position. The queen had personally appointed her as the housekeeper of the Princess Mansion.This chapter made its debut appearance via N0v3lB1n.

What exceeded the female officers imagination was that Su Li not only chose to sleep on the small stool but also held Princess Changles hand. Apart from necessary trips to the washroom, Su Li remained by Princess Changles side almost constantly throughout the day.

It seemed as if Su Li couldnt bear to be separated from Princess Changle even for a moment. This had been going on for a month now. Su Li never displayed any reluctance. As a woman, I could sense that Su Li was not only willing but eager.

My son-in-law, go to bed and get some rest, the female officer said softly, looking at Su Li lying beside Princess Changles bed.

Um?

Um?

Su Li turned his head, disbelief etched on his face.

My son-in-law, you have been taking care of the princess during the day, and Im afraid your body wont be able to handle it much longer, the female officer explained.

She understood that Su Li preferred sleeping on the stool rather than in a separate bed, so she tactfully avoided mentioning it.

Happiness had arrived so suddenly that Su Li found it hard to believe. Yet, when he thought about it more carefully, it made sense. He was the son-in-law and husband of Princess Changle, so it was only natural for husband and wife to share a bed. The only reason things were different now was because of Princess Changles special condition, which required time for the female officer to accept and understand Su Lis character.

Now that the female officer, and even the entire princess mansion, acknowledged him, why shouldnt he sleep in the bed? Besides, going to bed didnt mean the female officer would leave. After all, Princess Changle was still in a coma, so it was out of the question for anyone to leave her unattended except for Su Li.

Even though he was being monitored, it was undoubtedly a pleasant surprise for Su Li.

Ive done good deeds my whole life, and this is my reward! Su Li grinned, and without any hesitation, he rolled onto the bed.
