“Imperial Sister, are these flowers really beautiful?”
“Imperial Sister, these pastries are delicious.”
“Oh my, Imperial Sister seems to be getting more and more beautiful lately.”
Xiao Li looked speechlessly at the brocade clothes young man showing off in front of her, her eyes revealing impatience: “So, what exactly are you here to do?”
Prince Wei, Xiao Jingyi, awkwardly touched his nose: “Actually, Imperial Brother sent me here as an emissary.”
Xiao Li’s gaze instantly turned cold, and Xiao Jingyi quickly backed down: “Imperial Sister, I support you. That Lu Yanzhi is truly despicable, but this is Imperial Brother’s order, so I had no choice but to come.”
Seeing Xiao Li remain silent, Xiao Jingyi secretly moved closer to her, his pale face full of gossip: “Imperial Sister, you really don’t want a consort?”
Xiao Li rolled her eyes at him: “Or what? Do you think I’m just playing around?”
Xiao Jingyi gave a dry laugh: “Of course, Imperial Sister is serious, but you know in your heart that if Imperial Brother doesn’t nod, you might as well remain husband and wife, let alone he’s already sent me to persuade you.”
Xiao Li gave him one word: “Get lost!”
Xiao Jingyi rolled away smoothly.
“What did you say?” Xiao Li doubted her ears.
Hong Yue said again: “Chen Wangfei requests an audience.”
“Heh” Cold-hearted red lips overflowed with a trace of cold laughter, the Female Lead ah, things are getting interesting.
Soon, Chen Wangfei, Liu Xueyin, appeared before Xiao Li. Like Lu Yanzhi, she wore mourning clothes, her hair simply pinned up with a single hairpin. Her eyebrows were black and her skin was like jade, truly a stunning beauty.
However, her face always carried an unyielding sorrow, her gaze was cold, and she looked down on everyone with pity.
As if all things in the world needed her sympathy.
Hmph, who does she think she is?
Because of her pity, she always caused trouble, and Lu Yanzhi repeatedly cleaned up after her.
Because of her saying a child is innocent, the Original Body was forced to give birth to a bastard.
She is kind, she is aloof, so others bear the pain.
This is simply a living, breathing Saintess!
“Princess, can you please let Yanzhi-ge go?”
Liu Xueyin’s face was full of tangle, hesitation, and earnest pleading.
Xiao Li almost vomited, and let out a cold laugh: “And how do you want me to let him go?”
Liu Xueyin seemed to have mustered great courage, then raised her head to look at Xiao Li, and said with utmost seriousness: “If I beg you, can you agree to divorce him?”
Xiao Li laughed as if she had heard the biggest joke, and after a moment, she burst into laughter.
“Hahahaha. Hahahaha. This is too funny.” She laughed until tears streamed down her face.
What is she, Liu Xueyin? Who does she think she is?
Liu Xueyin thought Xiao Li would refuse, and immediately panicked: “Yanzhi-ge won’t be happy with you, why torture each other? Now Yanzhi-ge’s reputation has been ruined by you, why can’t you let him go?”
Xiao Li’s smile remained on her face, as she wiped away her tears with a handkerchief and asked her.
“As far as I know, you and Chen Wang are also a mismatched couple. Chen Wang doesn’t give you a second glance, and occasionally torments you. Why don’t you advise him to let you go?”
Xiao Li spoke sarcastically, but Liu Xueyin thought she was being sincere, and her face was filled with sorrow and pain: “Do you think I don’t want to?”
Xiao Li sighed: “How pitiful.”
This sentence was sincere.
This book’s Female Lead is a Saintess that Xiao Li can’t understand, and the Male Lead, Chen Wang, is a crazy person that she can’t stand.
He despises the wife the Former Emperor forced upon him, so he neglects and abuses her, sleeps with her and then throws her to others for bullying, gets her pregnant and then causes her to miscarry.
Later, he finally had a change of heart and pursued her, resulting in a fiery pit of despair, but the Female Lead is a true Saintess. She was abused terribly, but Chen Wang played the victim and acted pitiful, and she went back to him willingly.
How despicable!
“Princess, the consort has broken in!”
The Princess Manor’s guards take orders from the Princess, but they don’t dare to actually attack the consort.
Lu Yanzhi just rushed in recklessly.
His injuries should be almost healed, but the scars haven’t completely faded, so he has a sky-blue embroidered headband around his forehead, which looks quite elegant and refined. Unfortunately, because of his anxious expression, this elegance is gone.
“Xueyin!”
Seeing Liu Xueyin was safe, his tense nerves relaxed.
Liu Xueyin also changed from her previous sadness, and was overjoyed: “Yanzhi-ge.”
Xiao Li: Is this some kind of no-man’s land?
Lu Yanzhi strode over, wanting to reach out but restraining himself, standing two steps away, just looking at her with worried eyes, full of affection: “Are you alright?”
Liu Xueyin smiled like a flower blooming slowly: “I’m fine, and you?”
Xiao Li: “Yue” has the flavor of a Taiwanese drama.
The two of them ignored everyone else and stared at each other for a moment, before Lu Yanzhi remembered Xiao Li’s existence, then he quickly put Liu Xueyin behind him, his face turning cold and disgusted: “My business with you is over. Don’t involve innocent people.”
This… is also a crazy person!
Xiao Li picked a piece of watermelon and put it in her mouth, then pointed at them with a silver fork: “Someone, throw them out for me!”
The two of them left with angry and humiliated faces, and Xiao Li instantly felt the air was fresher.
“Finished watching the show? Get out!”
Xiao Jingyi climbed down from the courtyard wall, waving his fan and pretending to be suave: “I didn’t mean to eavesdrop, I just suddenly remembered I had something else to say.”
“The Empress Dowager is holding a banquet tonight, and you must attend.”
What good could come from the Empress Dowager holding a banquet at this time?
Recently, the Emperor’s actions have been quite significant, but the Lu Clan is not an ordinary family, and the Emperor doesn’t dare to swallow them whole at once.
So now is this about taking all the benefits and then trying to smooth things over?
But if the Emperor wants to gloss over things and continue being relatives, he doesn’t even think about whether the Lu Clan is willing.
The Lu Clan has suffered such a big loss, so they must get Lu Yanzhi out of the Princess Manor, so the Emperor’s wishful thinking will definitely fail.
Canceling the engagement is inevitable.
Xiao Li was also eager to get rid of Lu Yanzhi, and was looking forward to the result, but now she has changed her mind.
Now it’s not that she wants to divorce Lu Yanzhi, but that Lu Yanzhi is eager to jump out of her palm.
Originally, it was supposed to be a win-win situation, but their behavior just now really disgusted her.
To act so affectionate in front of her, does she look dead?
A malicious glint flashed in her eyes, Xiao Li beckoned to Xiao Jingyi, who obediently ran over, and then Xiao Li pinched his collar and pulled him closer.
She lowered her eyes slightly, her red lips curled up, and her eyes were filled with deep malice, a naked threat: “Go tell Imperial Brother that I can step back, but he must offer compensation in return.”
She finished speaking and patted Xiao Jingyi’s face, seductively: “Fiefdoms, gold and silver, people, you go and negotiate, and I’ll give you thirty percent if you satisfy me, understand?”
Xiao Jingyi’s eyes lit up instantly, and there was such a benefit?
“Imperial Sister, rest assured, I’ll handle it!”
Watching Xiao Jingyi’s cheerful back, Xiao Li couldn’t help but sneer: “Truly a turncoat, both a dog and clever.”
Xiao Jingyi is now an idle Lord, and after the change of imperial power, he immediately switched allegiance, and still became an idle Lord.
Truly, no one is more aware of the times than him.
I’ve changed a little bit, (*^__^*) hee hee… If my treasure has seen it, I apologize here.
Hugs~~
