Ying'er stopped and followed her gaze, and saw Li Cong, the son of Minister Li, standing not far from Mingyue Palace, tidying his clothes.
Nangong Luoying has always loved beautiful women, and Li Cong is known as a handsome man.
Previously, every time Li Cong entered the palace, he would visit her to bring her some snacks or trinkets from outside the palace. She thought that Li Cong had something to ask her this time. She let go of Ying'er, straightened her clothes, and was about to call out to Lord Li when she saw Li Cong walking towards Mingyue Palace.
Nangong Luoying's expression changed instantly, her hands clenched tightly at her sides, veins bulging.
She pulled Ying'er to the outside of Mingyue Palace and listened to the conversation between the two people in the courtyard. Her expression darkened further.
"Your humble servant Li Cong greets Princess Mingyue." Li Cong walked up to Sang Jiang and knelt on one knee. His lowered eyes revealed a slow appreciation and an ambition to possess her.
Sang Jiang was extremely beautiful at the banquet, but I didn't expect that she would be so beautiful after changing out of her palace dress. She was flamboyant and elegant, and people couldn't take their eyes off her.
"Get up," Sang Jiang replied somewhat casually, turning a cup on the table around absentmindedly.
Li Cong, despite being a grown man, was overly effeminate and lacked any masculinity, which she disliked.
Li Cong stood up, looked up, and stared intently at Sang Jiang.
Sang Jiang frowned slightly.
Seeing that she was unhappy, Chunhe took two steps forward and coughed lightly: "What business does Lord Li have with our princess?"
Li Cong snapped out of his daze and quickly handed the things in his hand to Sang Jiang, his tone clearly ingratiating: "These are some trinkets that I collected outside the palace for you, Princess. If you are really bored in the palace, you can play with them. Also, this is a pastry shop in the south of the city. It is said to be sold by people from Dongchen Kingdom. If you want to try some, you can let me know anytime."
Sang Jiang raised an eyebrow: "How much?"
"Huh?" Li Cong was stunned. What did "how much money" mean?
Chunhe glanced at her and translated for him: "The princess means that she bought these things for how much."
Li Cong then realized what was happening and quickly handed the items to Chunhe, saying, "It is my blessing if the princess likes them. There is no need to ask the princess for money. These are all gifts that I bought for the princess."
Chunhe accepted the gifts and gave him a slight bow: "Then thank you for your trouble, Lord Li. My princess will accept them, but please don't spend so much in the future, Lord Li."
Li Cong smiled and said, "I'm glad the princess likes it."
"Is there anything else, Lord Li?" Chunhe put down the cardboard box in her hand and looked at Li Cong.
"Huh?" Li Cong was stunned again. He subconsciously shook his head: "That's all."
“Then please return, Lord Li. Our princess needs to rest, and it’s not appropriate for a man like you to stay in the harem for too long.” With that, Chunhe curtsied to him and said, “Take care, Lord Li.”
Li Cong wanted to say something more, but then he saw Sang Jiang get up and walk inside, so he had to shut his mouth again.
As she walked out with Chunhe, she said, "Miss Chunhe, please feel free to ask the princess for anything in the future, and I will bring it to her."
Chunhe smiled and said, "Lord Li, you are overthinking it. With the Emperor and the Crown Prince protecting her, what could this princess possibly lack? Lord Li should think more about the matter of Beiming."
Li Cong gave an awkward laugh, and then Chunhe continued, "Lord Li, please take care. The princess still needs manpower here, so please forgive me for not being able to see you off further."
As she spoke, she curtsied to Li Cong.
Li Cong nodded repeatedly: "Miss Chunhe, you're too kind. The princess is more important."
Chunhe nodded and turned to leave.
