In Prince Duan's Mansion, Mrs. Zhang was shocked when she heard from the maid that there were widespread rumors that the Crown Princess refused to give Wei Lingxi and Li Jing'an a rumor. She quickly reacted and sighed dejectedly.
"I underestimated her."
Not only did he not accept the move at the time, but he also saw through his plans afterwards. Such exquisite thinking should not be underestimated.
In An Dinghou Mansion, Wei Lingxi heard the rumors outside. After venting her anger, Feng Feng Huohuo went to her mother, Princess Anyang, to complain.
"Mom, yesterday the fourth prince did not hesitate to humiliate his daughter in public in order to protect the eldest daughter of the prime minister's palace. Li Jing'an has a close relationship with the fourth prince. The fourth prince must have let Li Jing'an do this in order to vent his anger on Gu Qingzhi!"
"Then Gu Qingzhi has fascinated the fourth prince, so my mother will help my daughter think of a solution!"
Princess Anyang's graceful face was calm and calm, and she comforted her softly: "Gu Qingzhi is just a concubine. Your uncle the emperor will not agree to her becoming the prince's concubine."
"Mom, even the concubine can't do it!"
The fourth prince looked at Gu Qingzhi with infinite tenderness. If Gu Qingzhi became the fourth prince's concubine, how could she have a foothold?
Princess Anyang showed a little helplessness.
"My dear, the fourth prince is not a kind person. If you insist on marrying him, I'm afraid you won't have a happy life in the future. Anyway, you are still young. Let's choose slowly and we can always choose the one we like."
Although she and her husband are currently far away from disputes, they are not really indifferent to what is happening outside the window. This fourth prince is good at hiding and has vicious methods. If her daughter is forced to marry him, let alone Ansheng, she might be settled by Qiu Shou.
Wei Lingxi held Princess Anyang's arm and shook it, half coquettishly and half threatening: "Mother, my daughter will not marry anyone other than the fourth prince!"
Princess Anyang said nothing.
It is better not to marry if you don't want to marry, than to lose your life if you meet someone unkind.
When Wei Lingxi saw that her mother couldn't speak, she ran out angrily.
After her daughter left the yard, Princess Anyang said loudly: "Shadow Seventeen!"
The masked young man in black sneaked into the room and knelt on one knee on the ground.
"My subordinate is here!"
"Keep an eye on the princess and don't let her cause trouble."
"I obey my orders!"
The Fourth Prince's Mansion, in the study.
Li Jingxiao sat crookedly, looking up from time to time at Li Jing'an who was opposite him with a sinister look in his eyes.
"This Chiyang does have some brains and is difficult to deal with."
Li Jing'an touched the unscarred wound on his cheek, and his eyes instantly became colder.
"I told you so."
"I underestimated her."
Li Jingxiao didn't expect that Chiyang was not only smart, but also very courageous. Duan Wangfu would offend him as much as he wanted, and he didn't even get along with Li Jingxing.
To be fair, this woman is as smart as Gu Qingzhi and is a difficult enemy.
In the silence, Li Jing'an suddenly stood up and smiled coldly: "Leave this woman to me."
If you hit him twice in the face, do you really think he has no temper?
...
In the evening, after Li Jingxing returned home, Chiyang told Li Jingxing everything about Liu's request to her to protect the matchmaker and the fact that she sent someone to spread the conversation.
Li Jingxing nodded and said: "You are right. Prince Duan's Mansion is the enemy. It doesn't matter whether you offend him or not this time. However, my aunt and Marquis Anding are deeply trusted by my father, so it is best not to offend them."
His father also rewarded his aunt with a Dragon Shadow Guard. None of the other princes received such treatment, which shows how much his father favored his aunt and Marquis Anding.
I would rather offend three Duke Duan Palaces than offend an Anding Marquis Palace!
Hearing what he said, Chiyang felt relieved.
Li Jingxing warned: "I've been a little tight lately, and the Fourth Brother will make more and more moves. You should be more careful."
You really don’t know until you try. Once you try, you will be shocked. The good fourth brother has many capable people and powerful methods, which makes him dumbfounded.
He estimated that he couldn't handle it alone, so he "kindly" revealed some information to Li Jingye and asked his good brother to join in.
Chiyang asked hesitantly: "Are my father, brother, and the others prepared?"
[You shouldn’t be hiding everything from the Chi family again. 】
Li Jingxing nodded and said: "My father-in-law and my uncle have already passed their qi. Gu's abilities are limited. I need to rely on my father-in-law and them for many things. Don't worry, I will not treat them badly."
Chiyang said modestly: "His Highness said something serious, and they should do it."
[I guess you still have some brains. 】
Li Jingxing didn't care about Chiyang's "taunting", his eyes moved to Chiyang, and his right index finger subconsciously rubbed the thumb ring.
Seeing him suddenly staring at her without saying a word, Chiyang became wary and quietly folded his clothes.
She has always been afraid of heat, but now the heat is unbearable. Even with ice, she doesn't feel very cool. After bathing, she only wears a thin pair of pajamas.
It was wrapped tightly at first and I didn't think anything was inappropriate, but when I looked at it with his secretive gaze, I felt as if my clothes had been stripped off, and I was so embarrassed.
"Your Highness, I am exhausted."
Li Jingxing looked away and nodded: "Please turn off the lights first."
After that, he got up and walked to the clean room.
Chiyang breathed a sigh of relief, but did not turn off the lights. He got into bed, covered himself with quilt, closed his eyes and tried to fall asleep.
Although she felt safe under the quilt, she was really hot. She soon realized that she was sweating. If she continued like this, she might suffer from heatstroke. Chiyang had no choice but to expose her hands and feet and put a thin quilt over her chest and stomach.
Even so, it was still so hot that he couldn't sleep. Chiyang could only hope that Li Jingxing would go back to his room and turn off the lights early, so that he would not be afraid of being regarded as an adulterer.
Li Jingxing came back after more than half an hour, glanced at Chiyang who was close to the inside, and curled his lips slightly.
What's the use of hiding so far away, sooner or later you'll roll into his arms.
He raised his hand to turn off the light and gently lay down in his place.
Chiyang was prone to insomnia in the summer, so she didn't fall asleep for a long time, but she didn't dare to let Li Jingxing see it, so she deliberately pretended to be asleep.
Breathe long and evenly.
[It’s so hot, I can’t sleep, what should I do? 】
【Hurry up to autumn. It’s easier to sleep when it’s cooler. 】
Li Jingxing wasn't sleepy at all, but listening to her endless complaints made him even more sleepy.
In the darkness, a low voice suddenly broke the silence.
Chiyang's back stiffened.
"I know you're not asleep."
Chiyang's stiff body slowly relaxed. After all, he had been seen through, so there was no need to cover up. He responded in a low voice: "It's too hot, I can't sleep."
"come over!"
Chiyang was a little reluctant: "Your Highness, it's too hot."
[Don’t you know that hugging each other will make you feel hotter? 】
[And it’s so embarrassing to raise the flag again later! 】
Li Jingxing didn't care about that, he pulled her over very forcefully and held her tightly in his arms with revenge.
"I said I won't force you within half a year. Does it make you so worried?"
