Fang Zilan's face was half-smiling, with a bit of amusement in her expression. She originally thought Li Qianning was a spoiled and arrogant princess who was a bit domineering, but she forgot that her surname was also Li.
As the daughter of the royal family and the most noble woman in the capital, how could Li Qianning not have ambitions? It's just that it's not revealed on weekdays, and it's never been noticed. Coupled with her extremely beautiful appearance, it is easy for people to think that she is just a vase with a superficial appearance.
When Li Qiyou heard this, he couldn't hold it anymore and wanted to rush out. However, Fang Zilan held his arm tightly, preventing him from moving, for fear that she would tremble and fall down as soon as he got up.
"Miss Fang San..." Li Qiyou moved his lips, and Fang Zilan vaguely recognized that he was calling her, so she simply grabbed his hand and wrote quickly in his palm: "My leg hurts, please bear with me." "
After she finished writing, her legs seemed to be in unbearable pain and she was about to sit on the ground. Seeing this, Li Qiyou didn't care about anything else, so he took her hand and took her into his arms.
"Your Majesty..." Fang Zilan opened his mouth, and his warm breath blew across Li Qiyou's ears. His face turned even redder, "Don't move."
Fang Zilan was stunned. She didn't mean to lie to trip up Li Qiyou. It was just that the leg injury she suffered on New Year's Eve lasted for too long and she still hasn't recovered. Now she can't stand squatting here for a long time.
But if Li Qiyou behaves like this, if someone finds them cuddling secretly, they will probably be even more confused than Li Qianning and Mu Chuji in front of them.
However, he was afraid of what he was going to do. Before Fang Zilan could push Li Qiyou away, he heard Mu Chuji's voice coming from far away, "Who is it?"
Fang Zilan secretly screamed in her heart, but Li Qiyou didn't give her a chance to move. He pressed her head in his arms, tightened his arms around her, and then stood up holding her in his arms.
Although Li Qiyou's face was still slightly red, he looked generous and did not shy away from suspicion. Mu Chuji was startled, and then chuckled, "I don't know that the prince is also a romantic person."
Li Qianning, who was following Mu Chuji, was about to have a fit, but stopped when she saw it was Li Qiyou, "Brother Emperor, you..."
She hesitated to speak, her eyes fell on the person in Li Qiyou's arms, "Who is she? You... you actually..."
Fang Zilan rarely saw Li Qianning frustrated, let alone like this. She clearly wanted to tear her apart, but because she was in Li Qiyou's arms, she couldn't even finish her words.
So she couldn't help but laugh. Although she didn't make a sound, her body was shaking visibly. Li Qiyou, who was holding her, said in a serious and warm voice: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Seeing Li Qiyou cherishing the woman in his arms so carefully, Li Qianning couldn't help but get furious. She took a step forward to pull her out of his arms to see where this vixen came from.
Unexpectedly, Li Qiyou was already prepared. He turned sideways to avoid Li Qianning's hand and frowned: "Xiao Ning, don't mess around."
"I'm not messing around." Li Qianning's outstretched hand stopped in mid-air and said angrily: "Brother Emperor, why do the two princesses in your palace still mess around with the maids and lose their decency? Do you know, if Li... …His Majesty learned that…”
"I know." Li Qiyou interrupted Li Qianning in a deep voice, "But Xiaoning, do you know what you are doing?"
As he spoke, he looked steadily at Mu Chuji, who was watching the excitement, "His Royal Highness, King Qi, what are you doing here?"
"Same as the prince." Mu Chuji stood in front of Li Qianning calmly, confronting Li Qiyou and said, "tryst."
Before he finished speaking, Li Qianning blushed and glared at him fiercely, but he was completely unaware, "My lord, don't you also think that the secluded place here is an excellent tryst..."
"Mu Chuji, shut up." Li Qianning sternly stopped Mu Chuji's last words. He curled his lips and said, "Qianning, you don't dare to admit it, do you?"
What he said was quite frivolous, even Li Qianning's expression changed, "Mu Chuji, what do you mean?"
"It's not interesting." The smile on Mu Chuji's face grew wider, "I came here today just to tell Princess Dejia that your Majesty has approved the marriage between the two countries."
After saying this, he raised his hand and brushed the ends of Li Qianning's hair, dusting off a petal. "Soon, I will address you as princess and royal sister-in-law."
"Mu Chuji, you..." Li Qianning's face turned pale, and Mu Chuji raised his eyebrows, "I haven't had time to congratulate the emperor's sister-in-law, but she is dissatisfied..."
A crisp sound of "pop" stopped Mu Chuji's words. Li Qianning's hands trembled slightly, but she slapped her without hesitation, "Mu Chuji, if I were your royal sister-in-law from now on, I would definitely make your life worse than death."
"Okay." Mu Chuji looked at Li Qianning's red palm and said with a smile: "The emperor's sister-in-law is happy, whatever happens is fine. Just don't hurt yourself, I will feel bad for you."
He looked affectionate and said half-truths and half-false jokes, which made Li Qiyou intolerable, "Your Highness, King Qi, please leave."
"Your Highness King Yucheng, don't worry, I have that intention." Mu Chuji calmed his expression, "Today, you and I will pretend that nothing happened."
He had something to say, and Li Qiyou's face was as dark as water, "His Royal Highness King Qi..."
"His Royal Highness King Yucheng, the marriage between the two countries is imminent, and I have no intention of getting grudges with you." Mu Chuji waved his hands innocently, and then left without looking back.
"Xiao Ning, you and Mu Chuji..." As soon as Li Qiyou opened his mouth, Li Qianning choked him back, "Brother, how long do you plan to hold Miss Fang San? Are you going to Fengyi Palace like this? Isn’t it possible to propose marriage to the Queen?”
Li Qiyou's expression froze and he allowed Fang Zilan to push him away, "I'm not..."
"Not what?" Li Qianning looked coldly, "Is Fang Zilan so good? One death is not enough, you want another one?"
Hearing this, Fang Zilan stood up straight, and while adjusting her clothes, she said softly: "Is Mu Chuji so nice? Let the princess have a tryst with him even if he ruins his reputation?"
"Who had a tryst with Mu Chuji?" Li Qianning showed her sharp claws like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, "But you, Miss Fang San, not only hooked His Majesty, but now you are also entangled with my imperial brother. Why, Your Majesty refuses to divorce your eldest sister and marry you as the queen, so you want to climb a new branch? Let me tell you, as long as I am here, you will never even think about joining the Li family..."
"Not to mention that I don't care, but the princess is going to get married soon, how can you control me?" Fang Zilan deliberately drawled: "I am pestering His Highness King Yucheng every day, what can you do? What am I?"
"Fang Zilan, you...you are shameless!" Li Qianning was so angry that she yelled, but she was taught by the court and could not say anything unpleasant.
