Chapter 179: Impaired Vision

"You are An Ze's eldest brother, right? It would be inconvenient for a man from outside the palace to live in it. I also have a house in Kyoto, so it would be better for me to arrange for you to live outside the palace..."

Qi Yue listened to his self-introduction with deliberately missing words and changed them, and smiled with a playful look on his face, "Ah Xu is jealous today?"

Lin Xu did not deny it and asked suspiciously: "Is the princess reluctant to let go?"

Qi Yue denied: "How could that be? I just have a little love for beauty."

Guita Anzhen was puzzled and asked, "Excuse me, does Anze also live outside the palace?"

"An Ze also lives in the princess's mansion, in the same courtyard as Lin Xu. You should live well and don't listen to his random arrangements."

He gave Linxu another warning look, then looked at Wuming to explain.

"He was offered by the Xizhen Kingdom. If he were to be released outside the palace, the people of Xizhen would think that he has lost his usefulness, and his life would be in danger."

Wuming's lips curled up slightly: "I naturally believe in the princess. Whatever the princess does, she has her own reasons. There is no need to explain to me."

"But...I am of course glad that the princess can explain."

Rinsu: ...

What's this!

Isn’t this the green tea that the princess mentioned?

Saying things like this makes him seem sour and petty.

It’s so abominable!

He said sarcastically, "I never realized that the famous young master was so full of tea fragrance before."

Wuming said seriously: "I am telling the truth. It is your own business if Brother Lin does not trust the princess. Please do not deliberately misinterpret my sincerity towards the princess."

Qi Yue tried to smooth things over, "Okay, if you want to argue, wait until after dinner. I'm hungry."

"After dinner, let He Xiang build a debate platform for you. I will sit down and watch you guys argue while eating sunflower seeds. Whoever wins the debate will be slapped in the face."

Guita Anzhen: ???

Is a slap considered a reward?

I don’t understand…

Looking at the two men again, they were still glaring at each other, excitement all over their faces.

Guita Anzhen felt it instantly.

If he wasn't crazy, then the world was crazy...

After they finished lunch, Lin Xu Wuming followed Qi Yue back to the main courtyard, and Gui Ta An Zhen was naturally invited back to his own room.

After all, even if your own men quarrel, it is just a closed-door boudoir fun, and you can't let outsiders see the fun.

However, Qi Yue did not really let the two of them set up the stage for a debate, but the two of them really did have that intention.

She asked faintly, "Are you two busy today?"

Lin Xu said straightforwardly: "Yes, I'll go later, it's okay."

Wuming said calmly, "It's not done yet, but the princess's affairs are always more important than anything else."

Rinsu: ...

I was outdone again.

OK OK OK...

She was very pleased with Wuming's words and chuckled, "I have nothing to do, you guys go and get busy."

Lin Xu was a little embarrassed and said awkwardly: "Princess, what you just said..."

Wuming pointed to his own face and said calmly: "Princess, it said it missed your palm."

Lin Xu looked at him in shock:!!!

Qi Yue laughed, walked up to him, raised his hand and gave him a look, and Wuming obediently lowered his head and offered his face.

She stood on tiptoe slightly, and instead of slapping him, she cupped his face and kissed him.

Then he patted her gently and said, "Be good, go get busy."

Wuming's face turned red, and his heartbeat quickened. "Thank you, Princess, for the reward. Wuming will take his leave."

After saying that, he turned around and gave the man a provocative look.

Lin Xu was almost furious when he saw this.

Qi Yue walked to the chaise longue and sat down. Just as he leaned back, a dark shadow approached him.

Lin Xu hugged her and said in a low voice: "The princess is too partial to one and the other. She only rewards him and not me..."

She pushed his head with some disdain: "Let go! It's already very hot, and you're still like a furnace. Do you want to burn me to death?"

Lin Xu let her go, knelt down at the foot of the couch, and said with a look of resentment, "Is this the reason why you, Princess, have been unwilling to let me sleep with you for so long?"

"But I can't do anything about it. Physical fitness is something that is innate..."

Qi Yue touched his head and comforted him, "Be good, I'll make it up to you when the weather gets cold."

He was somewhat unwilling, but was also afraid that if he continued to pester her, it would cause annoyance and the compensation would be taken back.

He could only say gloomily, "Then the princess must not forget!"

"I won't forget it."

Lin Xu suddenly thought of the last time Shao Siyan got there first, and frowned, adding, "No, the princess has to write me a written agreement!"

Qi Yue stretched out her hand and pulled his cheek, pretending to be angry and said: "Well, Ah Ming is right, you really don't trust me!"

He was not annoyed at all by her face-pulling behavior, but rather enjoyed it.

But her tone was still somewhat resentful as she continued, "The princess also promised me last time to be the first to sleep with her after her injury healed, but what happened in the end..."

Qi Yue felt guilty and embarrassed. She tried to pass the blame on to others by saying, "It's obviously because you are not as skilled as others. How can you blame me?"

Lin Xu saw through her and said bluntly: "Didn't the princess agree to Shao Siyan first?"

He didn't believe that if she didn't agree, the man would force himself on her regardless of her wishes.

Qi Yue's eyes flashed with cunning: "How about this, starting from September, you will sleep with me on the first and fifteenth day of every month. Throughout history, such days in the royal family are a treatment that only the queen can enjoy."

Hearing the second half of the sentence, Lin Xu's face was tinged with smile, but he still added one more sentence.

"No, we have to add the end of the month!"

Qi Yue held his forehead, pretending to have a headache, and paused for a moment before agreeing.

"Okay, I'll do as you say. There's really nothing I can do..."

After this digression, he really didn't mention the matter of signing a document anymore.

Afraid that he would remember it, Qi Yue pinched his chin and lifted it up, then lowered her head and placed a kiss on it.

She said softly, "Go and get busy. Come back early. I'll be waiting for you to have dinner together."

On the other hand, Guita Anling did not get the marriage with Xie Lao as he wished. After being reminded by Guita Anyong, he shifted his target to Xie Yun.

However, she did not mention it to Qi Junqi on the spot, as that would make her purpose too obvious.

Instead, after watching the competition, he chose to contact Xie Yun first.

Xie Yun, who had just finished his shift and was in a hurry to leave the palace, was stopped halfway.

Looking at the masked woman in front of him, who was dressed in gorgeous Western Zhen clothes and covered in pearls and jade, Xie Yun frowned slightly, but still politely performed a great salute.

"May I ask why Lady Guita stopped me?"

He glanced at the palace gate not far behind Gui Ta An Ling and said in a rather gloomy way, "Is Your Highness lost?"

Gui Ta An Ling's attention was originally on him, and he didn't notice that the palace gate was not far behind him.

Then he said, "Yes, this is my second time entering the palace, and I am not very familiar with it."

A pair of autumn eyes with a sparkling light met his gaze and continued to talk: "Are you the new top scholar Xie Shidu?"

"The palace gate is behind the princess." Xie Yun looked away as soon as he made contact with her, and said in a neither cold nor harsh tone: "If the princess has vision problems, you can go to the Imperial Hospital for a check-up."
