Li Qishang walked along the path back to Chaoyang Palace, somewhat lost in thought.
Even though I've already told my brother, I still feel uneasy. After all, he's the person he's liked for so long!
They've given up before they've even started!
He was very uneasy! And very unwilling!
He led Shang Yao toward the Cold Palace.
Shang Yao, who was following behind, was a little confused. This wasn't the way to Chaoyang Palace! Where was the Prince going?
"Sir, this isn't the way back!"
Li Qishang snapped out of his daze, looked at the path beneath his feet, and gave a self-deprecating laugh. "Let's go see my sister-in-law!"
"I haven't even had a proper conversation with her since she came back this time!"
Shang Yao was speechless and couldn't help but roll her eyes. Was her master going back to his old ways again?
"Yes, Your Highness should go and return as soon as possible, after all, the Empress..."
"Yes, I understand!" Li Qishang said, his voice carrying a hint of helplessness.
****
The Cold Palace.
Guan Zhiyue was playing in the backyard with Bilian and Xiao Changle. Xiao Tuantuan, like a mangy dog, lazily lay down next to Guan Zhiyue.
"Sister, I'm so bored! When are we leaving the palace?"
"Didn't you say that the capital city is a lot of fun?"
"You, you've only just gotten back and you're already thinking about going out again?"
Upon hearing this, Chang Le echoed, "Go out, go out, let's eat."
"Hahaha, look at this, sister, this little guy already knows to go out!"
Little Tuantuan's laughter was so exaggerated that it filled the entire backyard.
This startled Li Qishang, who had just entered the Cold Palace.
Her raised foot stumbled, but thankfully Shang Yao helped her up, otherwise she would have fallen.
"Who is this? Laughing so arrogantly!" Li Qishang said softly.
The gatekeeper said, "Your Highness, she is the Empress's adopted sister, Miss Guan Er."
Li Qishang remembered that he seemed to have met her briefly at Cining Palace last night!
He then forbade his servants from announcing his arrival and led Shang Yao inside.
Little Tuantuan, who was lying down in the backyard, suddenly stood up, raised her nose, and looked excited.
He shouted at Guan Zhiyue, "Sister, there's dragon energy, it's pure, it's that kind of pure energy."
Before Guan Zhiyue could even react,
Little Tuantuan had already rushed out, lifting her skirt, and ran wildly towards the fragrant dragon aura.
"Tuantuan, you mustn't be so presumptuous!" Guan Zhiyue thought to herself, "Holy crap, could it be the Emperor who's here?!"
What if this girl makes a suggestive gesture towards the Emperor in front of so many people?
How can her innocence be preserved?
With the help of palace servants, he hurriedly followed and saw...
Little Tuantuan rushed out from the backyard, sniffed the air,
She ran towards Li Qishang like a gust of wind, and before Li Qishang could react, she was tackled to the ground.
Little Tuantuan excitedly hugged Li Qishang's head.
Then she buried her face in Li Qishang's head and greedily absorbed the nutrients.
Strands of golden light were absorbed by Xiao Tuantuan from above Li Qishang's head.
When Guan Zhiyue rushed over, this is what she saw.
In the strange position of woman on top of man, lying on the ground with a look of utter despair and terror on his face, it was actually Li Qishang.
"Tuantuan, get up!" Guan Zhiyue trembled and quickly stopped her.
That's absolutely terrifying!
Li Qishang looked at Xiao Tuantuan, who was being pulled away.
Then, glancing at Guan Zhiyue standing to the side, she instantly blushed deeply.
Her eyes reddened, and a feeling of shyness welled up inside her.
He's not clean anymore, he was taken advantage of, he's not clean anymore.
He, a prince of the highest rank, was actually humiliated in public by a woman. How could he possibly live?
"My God! Sister-in-law, your sister is bullying me."
"Waaaaah, I'm not clean anymore!"
I'm no longer clean, I'm contaminated, I'm contaminated.
Li Qishang sat on the ground and burst into tears, but it was the kind of wailing that was all thunder and no rain!
Little Tuantuan looked at Li Qishang, who was sitting on the ground; he was fair-skinned, clean-cut, and adorable.
Her eyes instantly lit up with pink hearts (^_-), she really liked this person!
"Stop howling! It's your good fortune to have caught the eye of this regiment."
Let me tell you, our group is absolutely unique in the world, it's one of a kind!
The dragon energy within you is pure; this group has decided to marry you.
I'll let you go with Brother Guan and Brother Guan Er.
And that Prince Yuan and Brother Lan, they'll all marry into my family.
A flock of crows flew overhead over the Cold Palace, <{\\u003d．．．． (caw~caw~caw~)
Guan Zhiyue reached out and slapped Xiao Tuantuan.
Then he gestured for Xiao Dezi to help Li Qishang up, and said with a smile, "Qishang, what brings you here?"
"Come here, you've gotten even more handsome. No wonder my sister wanted to take advantage of you the moment she saw you."
"Well, this is a girl I know, don't worry about her."
She just loves to say things that are shocking and outrageous.
"Come on, it's been so long since we last saw each other. Let's sit down and have a chat."
Li Qishang had the same idea, so he glared at Xiao Tuantuan and then followed Guan Zhiyue to the stone bench on the side.
"Sister-in-law, there are some things I'd like to discuss with you privately. Would you mind?"
Guan Zhiyue thought Li Qishang had something on his mind to talk to her about, so she nodded and led him to the small pavilion in the backyard.
"I heard that your imperial brother today bestowed upon you the title of Prince, and you are to leave the palace to establish your own residence?" Guan Zhiyue spoke first.
Li Qishang nodded and said, "Yes, this is an imperial edict that was just issued at the morning court session this day."
"Well, that's great. Your wish has finally come true."
"Leaving the palace to establish one's own household means you're a big kid now; it's time to start managing your own life."
"You're not getting any younger, it's time to find a suitable partner."
"This way, there's hope for the future." Guan Zhiyue's unintentional words filled Li Qishang's eyes with tears.
Li Qishang's eyes were red as he looked at Guan Zhiyue.
Her voice trembled slightly, "Sister-in-law, do you think so too?"
Guan Zhiyue was originally looking down and stroking her belly,
But upon hearing Li Qishang's voice, she looked up and saw Li Qishang stubbornly turning his head away, tears involuntarily streaming down his face.
"Qi Shang, what's wrong with you?"
"Your Majesty, you should know that Qi Shang has always only ever loved you.
Back in Guiling Valley, Qi Shang promised to marry his sister-in-law, but…”
After hearing Li Qishang's words, Guan Zhiyue took a deep breath and suppressed her emotions.
He then said, "Qi Shang, many things, once missed, are missed forever."
I'm very happy with your older brother now, and I hope you can find your happiness too.
"Let's not talk about the past of Guiling Valley anymore."
Belated affection is worth less than grass.
You have your own path to walk in the future, and I have my own path to walk as well.
I'll be a good sister-in-law to you, and you'll be a good brother-in-law to me. That's good enough for us."
Li Qishang interrupted Guan Zhiyue.
He stood up, somewhat dejected, and said, "The promise I made to you is still there. As long as you ask, I will definitely take you away."
"I will never break my promise; I will always keep this promise for you."
After saying that, he ran out of the Cold Palace and rushed towards his own Chaoyang Palace.
Guan Zhiyue let out a deep breath and sighed softly, "What have I done to deserve asking you to take me away? I'm not her!"
