Xiao Li used the excuse of drinking too much tea to change clothes and just came out to get some fresh air.

Actually, she could, she would rather slip away.

I hid in an empty pavilion and just sat down when I didn't expect the queen to come.

Queen Wang was gentle and quiet, with the aura of an orchid in a valley, which made people feel particularly peaceful at the first sight.

She wouldn't pretend, nor would she wear plain clothes. Even if she wore a gorgeous phoenix dress, she would still look peaceful and tranquil.

She is frail and sickly, doesn't like noise, and often has no sense of presence.

No matter which story she is in, she is not conspicuous. The final result is that the emperor dies, and she is buried with the emperor after drinking a cup of poison.

"Royal sister-in-law."

Xiao Li stood up and greeted him.

Queen Wang nodded slightly: "Xuan Yang, why are you here?"

Xiao Li said bluntly: "Come out and get some fresh air."

Queen Wang nodded, then walked away with her people, heading towards the Empress Dowager's palace.

Xiao Li stared at her back for a long time. As the legitimate daughter of the prominent Wang family, she was born a noble lady second only to the royal family. After she came of age, she married the prince, and then the prince became a prince.

Such people can remain calm, not because they are compassionate, but because they are born at the end point and have gotten enough, so they have no desires or requests.

She had no children, but her family was there, and no one in the emperor or the harem dared to look down on her; she didn't care who the emperor married, because no one could shake her position.

As long as she doesn't make mistakes and as long as the Wang family doesn't rebel, her life will be so noble and simple.

With such an identity, as long as you don't develop a love-brained mind, you are simply invincible.

It was almost time, so Xiao Li walked back. After all, he had to eat later. Although he didn't really want to eat, he couldn't leave.

When Xiao Li was about to reach the door, he met Lou Yan. He had not been with the emperor just now, and only came over now.

"Princess."

Lou Yan saluted.

Xiao Li nodded and prepared to walk over, but after taking two steps back, she looked at him cunningly: "Lou Yan, do I look good today?"

Lou Yan looked up at her, staring at her with his deep eyes, without saying a word.

Xiao Li suddenly felt bored. She was really bored and was teasing a eunuch here.

"Of course the princess is extremely beautiful, unparalleled in the world."

His voice was not as shrill as a eunuch's, but not as deep as a man's either. Instead, it had a special low and cold tone that was very pleasant to the ear.

He praised her?

Xiao Li looked at him in surprise, but happened to meet those gloomy eyes.

His facial features were distinct yet feminine, with a sinister coldness at the corners of his eyes. He looked unkind to begin with, and now with this gloomy look, he looked like a giant black python, dangerous and sinister.

Most people would be scared when they see such a person. No one can help but feel terrified by the feeling of being targeted by a hunter.

Xiao Li's heart trembled, but she was not afraid. Instead, she liked this feeling very much. Sure enough, there was a reason why she looked at him differently.

Although separated by time, space and gender, they are the same kind of people.

She looked down at a leaf she had picked at some point in her hand and threw it into his arms: "You're so sweet, here's a reward."

In the eyes of others, Lou Yan had a sinister face and a hostile aura, and he never smiled even when facing the princess.

Little did he know that he waited until the brightly colored clothes completely disappeared from his sight before he lowered his head to look at the leaf in his hand.

The princess was naturally extremely beautiful today, as beautiful as a snake or scorpion, making people want to put her on a high platform, but also want to drag her into darkness.

Chen Pingting is a person who can't sit still. After coming to Beijing, she wanders around and makes connections.

Relying on her status as the Empress Dowager's niece, she enjoyed compliments and adulation from others.

Those who know her think that she will become a royal concubine in the future, while those who don’t think that she is the head of the Chen family.

Chen Pingting sent several invitations, all of which were gatherings of a group of noble ladies, where they appreciated flowers, drank tea, and enjoyed poetry and painting. Xiao Li didn't have the time to play house with her.

Only bones are left of Gu Ling, and Lu Yanzhi's death should be put on the agenda.

"Royal sister, do you want to go hunting?"

Xiao Jingyi poked his head in. Xiao Li was practicing archery, and the tip of the arrow was just aimed at him. He was so scared that he quickly raised his hand.

"Sister, please don't be like this. I just want to go out and play with you..." This crime doesn't deserve the death penalty.

Xiao Li turned around and shot an arrow at the target: "Where are we going hunting?"

"There are rabbits and deer at the Nanshan Hunting Ground. A group of young men and the daughters of military commanders will go there for about ten days. If you get bored, you can always come back."

Xiao Li wasn't very interested in hunting: "How long does it take to go back and forth?"

Xiao Jingyi: "A carriage trip takes a whole day, and a fast horse trip takes two hours."

Xiao Li suddenly looked at him and smiled: "Go!"

Xiao Li asked her to prepare her things before going out, and Lu Yanzhi came again.

"Princess, are you going on a long journey?"

Xiao Li really couldn't stand him. He hated her. Before, he wanted to run as far away as possible, but now he always came to her.

“It’s none of your business!”

Just as Lu Yanzhi was about to approach, Xiao Li raised an arrow and pointed it at him, warning him, "Like I said, we can't divorce just because my brother doesn't allow it. It doesn't mean we can reconcile. Don't come near me."

Lu Yanzhi's appearance was indeed rare and handsome, but the things he did meant that she would never be soft-hearted for him. In her eyes, he was just a walking corpse, and his death was already inevitable.

There was no hypocrisy in Xiao Li's indifference and disgust. Lu Yanzhi was nailed to the spot, feeling mixed emotions.

He likes Xue Yin and approaches her to get revenge on Xiao Li...

-----

There were many people going to Nanshan to hunt, but everyone set out at different times. It was not until they arrived at the hunting ground that Xiao Li saw King Chen and Liu Xueyin.

There is also Chen Pingting with a group of noble ladies.

Xiao Li: “…”

Suddenly I didn't feel like hunting anymore.

Xiao Jingyi was the best at observing people's expressions. He knew at a glance that there was someone Xiao Li disliked, and quickly explained: "Royal sister, I didn't tell them. I didn't even know they were coming."

Xiao Li didn't care about this: "It's okay, we can come, and they can come too, just have fun on their own."

Xiao Li has no friends, but Xiao Jingyi has quite a few good friends from aristocratic families, but that's just the quality...

"Zhao Yuan (Qian Yu, Sun Buwu, Li You) meets Princess Xuanyang!"

Xiao Li's eyes darkened for a moment. Aren't these fat guy Zhao Yuan and thin guy Li You the two street urchins who teased Liu Xueyin that day and were beaten badly by Gu Ling?

"Ahem!" Xiao Jingyi also remembered this and immediately felt that this friend was a little unpresentable. "They are all children of noble families, and they are the best at eating, drinking and having fun. If my sister has anything to ask, just tell them, and they will definitely do it."

The chubby man immediately patted his chest and said, "Princess, just give your orders."

The thin man smiled and added, "It is an honor for us to serve the princess."

Xiao Li was speechless for a long time.

These four people are of different heights, weights and shapes, and when they stand together, they are definitely a special sight.

Fortunately, the four of them have regular facial features, at least they don’t look ugly, so it’s okay.
