"Li'er, what's wrong with you? Are you unhappy to be out with me? Why do you have such an expression?" Princess Toya asked when she saw him.
Hearing this, Jiang Ranli shook his head and said, "When I came out just now, I didn't seem to say goodbye to His Majesty and Prince Hetala. This is a crime of disrespect in front of the emperor, right?"
Just now, Jiang Ranli had just recovered from the surprise brought to her by Princess Toya, and then she was surprised by the amiability of Emperor Kangxi.
As a Chinese who was born and raised in modern times, Jiang Ranli has watched countless Qing Dynasty dramas since she was a child, and there are quite a few dramas about Emperor Kangxi. Combined with her own understanding of Qing Dynasty history, in Jiang Ranli's mind, Emperor Kangxi is completely a majestic and dignified image. She never knew that the majestic emperor actually had such a amiable side.
At least Jiang Ranli had never thought that she would be able to see the amiable Emperor Kangxi with her own eyes. However, even if Emperor Kangxi had a amiable side, she would still be punished for making mistakes again and again.
Looking at Jiang Ranli with a conflicted look on his face, Toya burst out laughing, "Pfft... Haha, Li'er, what's wrong with you today? You are completely different from that day."
Different from that day?
Hearing this, Jiang Ranli's attention was drawn and his gaze fell on the bright and clear-looking Tuoya Gege in front of him.
She said she was different from that day. When did he meet her?
Jiang Ranli thought about it over and over again, but couldn't imagine that he had ever met this free-spirited princess before.
"You wouldn't forget me, would you?" Princess Toya was very angry that Jiang Ranli didn't remember her, and her pretty eyes immediately showed displeasure.
Seeing this, Jiang Ranli hurriedly shook her head, "No, no, how could I not remember you, Princess? I remember, I remember."
Are you kidding? Princess Toya is of noble status, and I am just an unregistered palace maid. How dare I say that I don’t remember her?
Jiang Ranli curled the corners of his mouth, trying to make his smile look as sincere as possible.
"Do you remember Ben Gege?" Toya Gege crossed her arms over her chest, and it was obvious that she didn't believe what Jiang Ranli said. Then she said, "Then tell me, what did you do with Ben Gege that day?"
How come this princess is as hard to fool as Emperor Kangxi's army of numbers?
Jiang Ranli's smile froze for a moment. Facing Toya Gege's distrustful gaze, she hurriedly mobilized all her brain cells to recall what happened on "that day." However, after thinking for a long time, she still couldn't figure out which day Toya Gege was referring to.
After a while of struggling, Jiang Ranli suddenly had an idea and used reverse thinking to reason about what had happened in the past few days. Then he thought of the day when he was drinking with Yinzhen and the Thirteenth Prince.
In the past few days, her memory of that day was fragmentary. Now Toya Gege said that she had seen her, but she didn't remember. There was no other possibility except that they had been drinking that day.
"Can't you say it? You still want to lie to me. Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?"
Seeing that Jiang Ranli didn't say anything, Tuoya Gege snorted heavily.
"Princess, I didn't lie to you. I met you a few days ago when we were drinking. Besides, we drank together, right?"
Jiang Ranli always believed in his intuition. Seeing that Tuoya Gege's anger was rising, he quickly expressed his inference.
