Chapter 14: The hint of giving away the belt!

Fortunately, she was smart. Even if she saw it, she pretended not to see it and looked away.

But Xie Lixing acted as if he didn't notice and just left it there, letting her see it.

"This matter will not be brought to the attention of the emperor." Xie Lixing noticed Yueli's little movements and didn't care at all whether she would reveal it or not.

With Xie Lixing's words, Yueli was completely relieved.

She let go of Xie Lixing's hand and pushed the lotus cake in front of him, "Then I won't disturb my husband from handling government affairs." After saying that, she left the study.

There was a hint of smile in Xie Lixing's eyes as he watched Yueli leave.

After Yueli came out of the study, she brought her people back to her own courtyard.

Along the way, Shiyu was hesitant to speak.

It was not until she returned to Yueli's yard that she could not help but ask about this matter.

"Don't worry, the prince will take care of it." Yueli was full of confidence.

Her lotus cake may not work, but the words of divorce she left behind will work. Xie Lixing will not allow those people to make trouble in front of the emperor.

With Xie Lixing's endorsement, Yueli naturally has nothing to worry about.

The only thing that Yueli cared about was the secret letter about Liu Yuanzhou in Xie Lixing's study.

She didn't read it all, but she noticed that the things in it were related to Liu Yuanzhou's next deployment.

"Princess, are you going to cancel tomorrow's palace banquet like you did in previous years, Princess?"

Qin Yin called the distracted Yueli a few words before she came back to her senses.

Yueli came back to her senses and thought that tomorrow was the birthday of the emperor's favored concubine, Concubine Ming. Every year, the palace would hold a banquet to entertain the wives of officials.

As Xie Lixing's princess, Yueli was naturally among the invited guests.

However, Concubine Ming comes from a military family, is the legitimate daughter of Marquis Ming, and is Concubine Chen's biggest enemy.

Concubine Chen is the sister of Prime Minister Chen and is also in the palace.

In the past, Yueli never showed up at Concubine Ming's birthday banquet in order to please the Chen family and Concubine Chen, for fear that the Chen family would be unhappy.

Now Yueli just wants to make herself happy.

"No, I want to participate." Since she had broken off relations with the Chen family, Yue Li naturally would not consider the Chen family's affairs, lest they think she was afraid of them.

The other party's appetizers have already come out, and it would be unreasonable for her not to reciprocate with something else.

Whoever wants to be the obedient adopted daughter of the Chen family can do so!

Xie Lixing naturally knew that Yueli was going to attend the palace banquet tomorrow.

"The princess said she will attend a palace banquet tomorrow. Do you want to go with her?" Compared to the sixth brother, the seventh brother is much calmer and knows how to express gratitude and etiquette.

Hearing this, Xie Lixing said "hmm" coldly.

The seventh brother went downstairs to prepare for tomorrow's affairs.

"Wait, don't let me hear any more rumors about the princess and the seventh prince outside." Xie Lixing stopped the seventh prince.

Lao Qi replied "yes" and quickly disappeared into the study.

After Lao Qi left, Xie Lixing lowered his head and took out the brocade box in his hand. He opened it and revealed the belt inside.

The moment he saw the belt, Xie Lixing's face and neck began to turn slightly red...

*

Yueli went to the palace banquet with Xie Lixing. As soon as she went out, she saw Xie Lixing changing out of his black clothes and waiting outside the door in a silver suit.

Originally, Yueli thought that he might have just acted on a whim.

Until her eyes caught sight of the familiar belt and the necklace she had just given away the day before...

Only then did Yushili realize that this person might like this belt more.

[Xie Lixing: Hehehe, this is a birthday gift from my wife~]

Xie Lixing: My wife gave me a belt, is she hinting that I can take it a step further?

The excited barrage of comments passed by, leading the pure-minded Yueli astray.

She patted her slightly hot face and was taken to the carriage by Xie Lixing.

After getting on the carriage, the atmosphere between the two of them became very quiet. Yueli couldn't help but think that there was indeed no noise when the two of them were together.

Xie Lixing was a taciturn person, so naturally she didn't want to talk either.

Otherwise, it will be interpreted as something more sinister by the comments!

Yueli had never felt that the road from the Regent's Palace to the Imperial Palace was so far, and she was so tormented that she felt restless.

"Are you not feeling well?" Xie Lixing had been observing Yueli's expression since he got on the carriage. Seeing that she looked unhappy, he thought she was thinking about Liu Yuanzhou again.

Being in a bad mood, he naturally didn't want to speak to break the silence.

It wasn't until he saw that Yueli's face was not right, a little red, and looked a little hot, that he couldn't help but show concern.

Could it be that I caught a cold and had a fever?

"I'm fine." Yue Li shook her head, "It's just that the carriage is a little stuffy and I'm a little hot."

She couldn't say that it was those little yellow girls in the barrage who made her feel embarrassed, right?

Seeing that Yueli was really not feeling unwell, Xie Lixing nodded and said nothing else.

She didn’t know if it was Yueli’s illusion, but she always felt that Xie Lixing was a little upset today, which made it difficult for her to breathe.

Only when she arrived at the palace gate did Yueli breathe a sigh of relief.

Xie Lixing got off the carriage first, then reached out to Yueli who lifted the curtain.

With the idea of ​​selling her love as a couple, Yueli put her hand on Xie Lixing's hand without any hesitation and slowly got off the carriage.

As luck would have it, Liu Yuanzhou and Chen Chaolu also got off the carriage one after another at this moment.

The four people met in this way, and Yueli and Xie Lixing's hands were even intertwined, which made the people around them look at each other with gossip.

They were wondering whether Yueli would withdraw her hand under Liu Yuanzhou's gaze.

[Oh, Shura Field! ]

[I'm also curious, will Yushiri take her hand back?]

[The exciting face-slapping segment is here! Super excited! ]

[Is Asaro Baby going to the women's section with Koshiri?]

[Ha! When she heard that her husband was going to attend Concubine Ming's palace banquet, Yuli couldn't help but want to join in!]

[Yes! This scene is where Asaro Baby cleverly resolves the slap in the face when Koshiri pushes her into the water. It's also the first opportunity to warm up the relationship between the male and female protagonists.]

Yueli's attention was not on Chen Chaolu and Liu Yuanzhou, but on the face-slapping plot mentioned in the barrage.

According to the comments in the barrage, when the palace banquet starts, she will provoke Chen Chaolu and deliberately say unpleasant words, trying to frame Chen Chaolu for pushing her into the water. As a result, Chen Chaolu rescued her and fell into the lake herself.

Yueli couldn't help but lower her eyes and think about her previous style of behavior.

Who on earth said that she would use such means to frame Chen Chaolu?

After all, she had lived in the capital for many years. How could she have acted so carelessly? And at a palace banquet!

Also! Xie Lixing was upset because he actually thought she was attending the palace banquet because Liu Yuanzhou was also attending!?

It’s no wonder that everyone thinks so, she was indeed too licking in the past.

Whenever I think of Yueli, I feel like scolding myself.

"That's great! I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to find a seat for the female members of the family. Now that I'm here, I'm not afraid anymore! Brother Zhou, you don't have to worry!" Chen Chaolu waved to Liu Yuanzhou with a bright smile.

But this smile seemed somewhat deliberate and glaring to Yueli.
