Chapter 177 (Additional chapters will be added when the total number of votes reaches 1100)

The two of them were on the road, enjoying the sights and scenery that they had not seen while on the road.

Of course, Yueli is not as lively as others.

For example, she won't go to crowded places.

Every time I get close to a crowded place, the barrage will say things like, "A large sum of money is used to choose a husband, selling oneself to bury one's father," etc., which are the contents that can only be found in storybooks.

In order to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation to thank Li Xing, Yueli did not join in any fun.

I just wanted to see the scenery, and on the way back, I drew a portrait of Xie Lixing with my own hands.

Yueli's painting skills were very good, but she seldom showed her true level in front of others. She was afraid that she would be called into the palace to paint a portrait of a certain lady for no reason.

To others it might be a blessing, the chance to marry a prince.

This is not a good thing for Yueli.

Of course, Liu Yuanzhou was partly responsible for hiding his abilities.

He said he was afraid that she was too good, and he would feel that he was not worthy of her, and then -

Because she was in love, Yue Li hid most of her abilities, and only after she married Xie Lixing did they begin to show up.

"I have rarely seen the princess paint in recent years." He himself, on the other hand, often painted portraits of Yueli.

(Yuli: I know. Not only do you like to draw when you peek at me, but you also like to draw late at night, drawing the crazy pictures in your head!)

"Before, there was no scenery for me to paint. Now the scenery is right in front of me, so of course I can paint it?"

When Yueli said this, she was sitting on a rock with her drawing board, looking at the distant scenery and painting.

When she paints, she always includes a thank you line in the landscape.

Then, all her paintings were collected by Xie Lixing.

In Xie Lixing's words, they were all gifts from her, he liked them all, so he wanted them all.

[Very good, thank you for all of Koshiri's words.]

[In the original text, Yukari's painting skills are said to be very good, but not to this extent, right?]

[Haven't you figured it out yet? Her outstanding painting skills among women are actually just a veiled attempt at hiding her weaknesses. The real thing is what's happening now.]

[The original article mentioned that Yueli's painting skills were top-notch among women, but not so impressive among men. Having seen paintings by talented men, they naturally looked down upon Yueli's paintings.]

[Who would have thought that Yuri was hiding her incompetence? And the reason she's hiding it makes me angry! She's worthy of being the love-brained person in this article!]

[…What? Someone is actually competing with Xie Lixing for the title of the most love-brained person?]

Yueli remained silent, looking at Xie Lixing beside her, then sighed and rubbed her brows.

Time passed quickly, and the two returned to the capital just before the Chinese New Year.

The streets of the capital are already covered with white snow.

Although the journey was relaxed, there were also thrilling moments. For example, Liu Yuanzhou's people would come to harass Yueli from time to time.

Want to kidnap Yueli.

It’s a pity that Xie Lixing was on high alert and didn’t give them even the slightest chance.

When the two returned home, Xie Lixing was summoned to the palace by the emperor, leaving Yueli alone in the palace.

As soon as Xie Lixing left, Liu Yuanzhou and the prince's men began looking for an opportunity to kidnap Yueli. Unfortunately, they did not succeed on the way, and it was even more impossible for them to succeed in the heavily guarded Regent's Palace.

After failing again, Liu Yuanzhou went to find Weijia with a dejected look on his face.

"Can you change the conditions for me?" He lost a lot of people in the kidnapping of Yueli!

He reasonably suspected that Weijia was draining his people!

Wei Jia lazily sipped her tea. "Seventh Brother, someone who has been running this business for so long still can't stand a fight with Xie Lixing. You... aren't that good enough?"

She looked at Liu Yuanzhou's face, which showed dissatisfaction and criticism.

She was ashamed of Liu Yuanzhou's incompetence.

"Why would I choose you to help you?" Wei Jia sighed, looking like she was on a pirate ship and couldn't get off. "Well, if that's the case, then... go and assassinate Fourth Brother, right?"

Wei Jia spoke to Liu Yuanzhou with a malicious smile on her face.

It seemed that killing the Fourth Prince was a very satisfying thing for her.

Liu Yuanzhou looked at Weijia and did not refuse. After she left, he kept sending people to harass the Fourth Prince but did not actually take action.

He wasn't really stupid, he saw it.

Weijia was deliberately trying to sow discord between the three of them, in order to intensify their fight.

If she didn't want to take sides, it would be hard for him not to suspect that she was also eyeing that position.

The Fourth Prince had been annoyed by Liu Yuanzhou's harassment recently. When he met Liu Yuanzhou, he showed a very annoyed expression, "What do you mean?"

Is there any benefit for Liu Yuanzhou to keep harassing him?

Doesn't he have his own things to do?

"Has Fourth Brother seen Weijia recently?" Liu Yuanzhou answered the question irrelevantly.

His question stunned the Fourth Prince. He looked at Liu Yuanzhou in confusion, and then realized that Liu Yuanzhou had also met Wei Jia in private.

This incident made the Fourth Prince realize that Wei Jia had ulterior motives.

He frowned slightly, "It seems that we are just pawns in the hands of others..."

The relationship between the Fourth Prince and Liu Yuanzhou eased because of this incident.

The Seventh Prince pretended to send people to harass the Fourth Prince, while the Fourth Prince secretly investigated Wei Jia's recent movements and the forces behind her.

They wanted to see what made a woman like her dare to covet the throne.

*

After Xie Lixing was summoned to the palace, he became busy. However, no matter how busy he was every day, he would always show up at Yueli's room (ahem, it was a necessary night activity every night).

Yueli sometimes feels that Xie Lixing is not a human being.

He has so much energy!

Yueli had nothing to do in the room, so she thought about cooking for Xie Lixing.

Today, Yueli started researching fish soup again.

Qinyin and others looked at the dark soup made by Yueli and didn't know what to say for a moment.

The steps are obviously correct, so why are the dishes made by her princess different from others?

Which step was done wrong?

“Hiss—”

When everyone was curious, Ah She, who had been silent and rarely appeared, suddenly appeared and showed extraordinary interest in Yueli's fish soup.

"Look! It's not that no one likes my fish soup, Aunt She likes it very much."

In front of Asa, Yueli didn't dare to call it Asa.

Because Ah Sa really would whip her butt with her tail!

She would feel ashamed to be spanked by a snake at her age!

"Um……"

When the maids nodded, Ah She had already crawled to the fish soup and started drinking it.

When Ah She finished drinking the whole bowl of fish soup, its body began to curl up, and then -

It vomited in front of Yueli's incredulous gaze.

Yes, Yueli's fish soup made a snake vomit.

Yueli: “…” Is the food she cooks really that lethal?

Why?

[Other people's cooking is delicious, but her cooking is a deadly nuclear weapon! Any species!]
