After saying this, he walked up the stairs and walked towards Qin Ye.

Qin Jiaojiao stood there in a daze, looking at the man who was cold as ice to her and didn't even give her a complete wedding night. He sat next to Qin Ye, and his gentle face raised a smile that she had never seen before.

At that moment, her heart seemed to break...

In the corridor.

Qin Ye asked with a smile: "Your Highness Prince Li, you are so naive. You came here just because I asked you to. Aren't you afraid that I will plot against you?"

simple?

If she likes it.

Zong Zhengli smiled elegantly, his white robe made him look particularly simple and elegant, even the corners of his clothes were spotless. Even though he was dressed simply, the cleanliness and nobility emanating from his bones could not be ignored.

He smiled and said, "If Princess Chen needs it, what's the harm in being plotted against a little?"

He spoke words that seemed true and not false, and looked at her with smiling and gentle eyes. It was as if ten miles of peach blossoms were blooming in his eyes, so gentle that water could be squeezed out of them.

"Hahaha!"

Qin Ye asked him to come over and talk just to annoy Qin Jiaojiao.

If An refuses to tell her the truth and doesn't let her live a good life, then this mother and daughter will never have a happy life!

Not far away, Zong Zhengchen came:

"Fifth brother is here too."

"King Chen." He stood up and clasped his hands. Qin Ye saw his respectful look, which made him feel sorry for him for no reason.

Prince Li is different from other princes.

He was born in a humble family, and unlike other princes, he did not get along harmoniously with others and call each other brothers. He seemed to be respectful and humble to everyone.

"Fifth brother, don't be so reserved. Today the crown prince is appointing a concubine and it's also a family banquet." Zong Zhengchen put his arm around Qin Ye's waist and sat down. He picked up a strand of hair by her ear and wrapped it around his fingertips.

The soft voice in the ear: "What were you talking about with Brother Wu just now? You were laughing so happily, huh?"

"I was talking to him about my last southern tour. There are many places in the world that are not illuminated by the light. There are darkness, corruption, injustice, and many suffering and wronged people. Let's make a summary."

Ancient times were different from modern times. Here, power was supreme, and the farther away from the imperial capital, the more chaotic the situation.

There are many examples of people taking advantage of their power to bully others, using public power for personal gain, and oppressing others with force.

There are many examples of helpless and unarmed good citizens who are unable to defeat corrupt officials.

Zong Zhengchen thought about these years, his brows knitted together, and after a long while, he relaxed for a moment:

"It's rare that Ye'er is so willing to do this. How are you going to discuss this?"

"Just some random chat."

Qin Ye started the conversation, King Li interjected from time to time, King Chen gave some instructions, and the three of them started chatting and laughing.

Not far away.

Qin Jiaojiao looked at the three of them sitting together and getting along harmoniously. She clenched the handkerchief tightly in her hand, her eyes full of jealousy.

Although Qin Ye is ugly, he is valued by King Chen.

But she...

Why can't His Royal Highness Prince Li look at her a little more?

Is it that she didn't do well enough?

She kept biting her lower lip, struggling for a long time before she mustered up the courage to step forward with a slight smile on her lips:

"Sister~"

Just as he opened his mouth, Qin Ye looked up and said with a smile:

“We are talking about politics that concerns the people.”

When Qin Jiaojiao heard this, she said, "Oh, is that so? We women really don't understand political affairs. Why don't we go over there and let Prince Chen and Prince Li talk?"

She walked forward with a smile, stretched out her hands gracefully, and was about to hold Qin Ye's arm.

Qin Ye leaned back calmly, nestled into Zong Zhengchen's arms, and smiled sweetly:

"Sister, what I mean is that we are talking about political affairs. You don't understand. Don't come over. When we are done, we will return His Royal Highness Prince Li to you."

"Wha...what..."

Qin Jiaojiao's expression suddenly froze on her face.

This feeling...

As if she was an outsider.

She couldn't fit into the royal circle and was ostracized. She felt a little embarrassed in front of King Li.

She tried to save face in an awkward manner, "Sister, sister, men don't like women interrupting them when they are discussing matters..."

"What's wrong?" Zong Zhengchen put his arm around the girl's waist, raised his dark eyes lazily, and looked at Qin Jiaojiao with an invisible and dangerous look.

"Do you have any objections to Princess Li?"

Qin Jiaojiao choked instantly and didn't dare to talk back. It felt like a piece of rag was stuffed in her mouth, which made her feel even more embarrassed and awkward.

Qin Ye stood up and said with a smile: "Prince Li, shall we go over there and talk while we eat?"

"Okay." Zong Zhengli stood up.

The three of them left together, leaving Qin Jiaojiao there. She was so embarrassed that her eyes turned red and tears of grievance were welling up in her eyes.

In the royal family, not being favored, everyone around you looks down on you.

Qin Ye had some friendship with Prince Li, but instead of helping her gain favor, he deliberately left her aside and embarrassed her.

That’s too much!

She is her sister!

How can there be a sister like this in the world!
