While speaking, she pinched the ruan flesh under her hand, as if to confirm something.
Jiang Li's face darkened. Are you addicted to pinching? ?
She raised her hand and grasped Chu Mingzhu's hand, winking at her secretly.
Chu Mingzhu widened her eyes, and after understanding the meaning in Jiang Li's eyes, she quickly concealed the shock on her face.
"Is Emperor Yan okay? It's all Mingzhu's fault for accidentally stepping on the hem of her skirt, which caused her to offend Emperor Yan. I hope Emperor Yan will forgive her!"
Chu Mingzhu quickly pulled her hands away from Jiang Li's hands and leaned over to salute her.
Seeing the little girl come forward, Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief and pretended to be calm and said, "It's okay, Mingzhu is not hurt, right?"
Chu Mingzhu followed her words and responded: "Thank you Emperor Yan for your concern, Mingzhu is fine."
"You all should leave first. I will go for a walk with Mingzhu."
"yes."
After receiving the order, the palace servants hurriedly retreated. After there was no one around, Jiang Li and Chu Mingzhu's eyes met again.
Chu Mingzhu raised her head, with astonishment reappearing on her face: "Emperor Yan, you you you!"
Jiang Li spread her hands helplessly: "Now you should believe that I didn't lie to you that day, right?"
At this point, Jiang Li directly admitted her identity which shocked Chu Mingzhu.
Chu Mingzhu nodded eagerly, and quickly covered her mouth when she thought of something: "Emperor Yan, don't worry, Mingzhu will not tell anyone about this secret!"
Afraid that Jiang Li would not believe it, Chu Mingzhu raised three fingers to the sky again: "Mingzhu swears!"
Chu Mingzhu naturally knew how serious it was to keep the secret that the Emperor of Yan was a girl. If others knew about this, the consequences would be disastrous! "I believe you, thank you."
Although the two had just met and had only known each other for a few days, Jiang Li was extremely confident that Chu Mingzhu would never tell this to anyone.
The secret that she is a girl will be revealed to the world sooner or later, but it will never come from Chu Mingzhu's mouth.
"Come on, walk with me."
Jiang Li said this and took the lead to walk forward. Chu Mingzhu finally recovered from the shock.
As she walked, she suddenly laughed out loud.
Jiang Li looked at Chu Mingzhu in confusion: "What are you laughing at?"
"I laugh at my poor eyesight." Chu Mingzhu said as she tiptoed slightly to Jiang Li's ear: "I fell in love with a girl."
Jiang Li raised her eyebrows: "Now that I know the truth, I sincerely hope that the princess can find a good match as soon as possible."
Chu Mingzhu sighed, "How can we find a good match just by looking for it? To be honest, in order to let Mingzhu stay in Dongli in the future, my brother has brought all the young masters of Dongli's noble families to Mingzhu for her to choose."
Thinking of how Chu Mingye doted on Chu Mingzhu that day, Jiang Li believed that this was something that a man who doted on his sister could do.
"There are so many talented and handsome young men, but you don't like any of them?"
Jiang Li looked at Chu Mingzhu beside her in surprise, and the latter nodded.
Now it was Jiang Li's turn to laugh. She said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "It seems that I stand out among the crowd!"
Chu Mingzhu pouted: "He is quite outstanding, so outstanding that Mingzhu was misjudged for the first time. After seeing Emperor Yan, her heart was hooked."
When Chu Mingzhu saw Jiang Li, her heart was set on her, and her eyesight became less effective.
Now it seems that there is evidence that Jiang Li is a girl.
For example, her skin was as white as cream and her face was more beautiful than a flower, for example, her figure was slender and petite, and for example...
Oh my God! There were so many strange things, but she didn't notice anything wrong before?!
Chu Mingzhu slapped her forehead in annoyance.
Jiang Li saw all her actions and found Princess Dongli more interesting.
It's a pity that she is not a man. If she were a man, marrying such an interesting person would surely bring endless fun to her future life, right? Jiang Li was thinking when Chu Mingzhu's voice came from beside her.
"I heard from my royal brother that the Regent of Dayan is a very influential figure. Since Mingzhu has no chance to be with Emperor Yan, if she wants to have a good relationship with Dayan, it seems that she needs to learn more about the Regent."
Chu Mingzhu touched her chin as if thinking about something. After hearing her words, Jiang Li instantly lost her composure and the smile on her lips fell.
"No, I think this is inappropriate!"
Jiang Li's sudden excitement startled Chu Mingzhu. She shook her shoulders and looked at Jiang Li with confusion.
"Why? What's wrong? Could it be that the regent... has a hidden illness?"
"That's not the case. It's just that the emperor's uncle has a cold personality, is serious, doesn't know how to be caring, and doesn't understand a girl's mind. He is not a good match for the princess!"
Jiang Li spoke very seriously, trying her best to discredit Chu Huaizhi in front of Chu Mingzhu, trying to make her give up the idea of getting to know Chu Huaizhi.
As expected, women understand women better. What Jiang Li said accurately hit Chu Mingzhu's requirements for choosing a husband.
Now Chu Huaizhi meets several of her requirements for a husband and they are indeed not a good match!
"Forget it, the husband I'm looking for is not someone like the Regent."
Chu Mingzhu instantly gave up the idea of wanting to get to know Chu Huaizhi better.
She had only said it casually just now. She was a person who believed in appearance. Since she was not attracted to the Regent at first sight, it meant that he was not suitable for her and there was no need to get to know him further.
Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s my fault, uncle. I didn’t mean to discredit you! When Chu Mingzhu turned her head, she happened to see Jiang Li’s expression. She was startled and grabbed Jiang Li’s arm.
"Emperor Yan, you, you, you, you are not going to do that to the Regent, are you?"
Jiang Li touched her face: "Is it that obvious?"
"!!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Mingzhu suddenly raised her hand and pressed her philtrum.
Chu Mingzhu's heart could hardly bear the fact that two such big secrets were uncovered in one day.
After a cup of tea, Chu Mingzhu finally recovered from her shock. By then, the two of them had already walked a long way away from the imperial study.
Chu Mingzhu took a deep breath and looked at Jiang Li solemnly: "Does the Regent know the true identity of Emperor Yan?"
Jiang Li shook her head: "I don't know. If I knew, I would have died a long time ago."
Chu Mingzhu took another deep breath and asked, "Does the Regent know what Emperor Yan wants?"
Jiang Li spread her hands and said, "I don't know. Although the emperor's uncle is not interested in women, he doesn't have any pretty boys around him. I am a man now. If I rashly make an ambiguous move... Hiss, I won't say anymore. My neck feels a little cold."
Chu Mingzhu crossed her arms over her chest as if analyzing: "I think the Regent is very concerned about Emperor Yan."
Jiang Li became interested after hearing this: "Oh? Why do you think so?"
Chu Mingzhu pretended to be mysterious and asked, "Does Emperor Yan want to test him?"
