Seeing Wang Riqing acting coquettishly, Li Zhu almost had a nosebleed...
He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "It seems I need to calm down my inner fire as soon as possible. Otherwise, I won't be able to control myself when I see a beautiful woman, and I'll start having wicked thoughts about her. Sooner or later, I'll end up committing a crime..."
But for a prince like him to commit a crime with a woman would be incredibly shameful, ruining his reputation and making him completely forget that his current reputation isn't much better either.
Li Zhu ignored the difference between "Brother Zhu" and "Brother Pig," and continued to hold Wang Riqing's little hand, lecturing him on a long series of profound principles about the Five Elements and the universe, concluding with a summary statement.
"Qingqing, you only have one chance to choose in your life. If you make the right choice, your path will be smooth; if you make the wrong one, you'll have to bear the consequences. So if someone can bring you an unimaginable status, then you must seize the opportunity, even if it means taking the initiative..."
Li Zhu subtly and overtly persuaded her to pursue him instead. Although it was somewhat despicable, he felt that he was helping Wang Riqing escape her misery. This world was inherently patriarchal, and by following him, she could at least be treated as an equal. This was a tremendous act of merit...
He couldn't help but praise himself, saying he was truly an upright and pure person...
Upon hearing Li Zhu's words, Wang Riqing fell into deep thought. Then, her eyes lit up, and under Li Zhu's expectant gaze, she excitedly said...
Do you think my true love might be the Second Prince?
Li Zhu nearly spat out a mouthful of blood. This was truly a case of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead; after all the deception, he had led the person to his own enemy...
Are you sure he'll live that long?
Li Zhu couldn't help but roll his eyes and said!
"Oh dear...you're not planning to kill your own brother, are you? For the throne, you'd even consider killing your own brother? What a heartless person..."
Hearing Wang Riqing's sarcastic remarks, Li Zhu immediately realized that his attempt to deceive her had been exposed. However, Li Zhu wasn't embarrassed; he had achieved his goal: to defuse the awkwardness between them and bring them closer...
"What are you saying? I don't understand. I'm an honest and pure person..."
Li Zhu shamelessly said that he was probably the only one in the world who could boast about being upright and pure...
People always want what they lack!
"Hmph! You think you're innocent? Then why are you holding my hand and refusing to let go..."
Wang Riqing said irritably, "I've never seen such a shameless person!"
"No, I'm just reading your palm..."
Even at this moment, Li Zhu did not let go of her hand, which left Wang Riqing speechless. Faced with such a rogue, she could only admit defeat. She tried to pull her hand away several times but failed, and instead, her fingers hurt terribly!
"Now that you've seen it all, why aren't you letting go?"
Wang Riqing put his words out into the open!
"Oh, you've finished watching? I didn't know that, I'm so sorry..."
She said she was sorry, but her body moved a little closer to Wang Riqing. Since she had already been seen through, getting a little closer wouldn't hurt...
Perhaps because he hadn't heard any movement inside the carriage for too long, Wang Yanzhang pulled back the curtain and looked inside. To his surprise, he saw his precious daughter sitting close together with Li Zhu!
As a father, he immediately lost his temper and roared angrily.
"Your Highness, what are you doing? Stay away from my daughter..."
The two were in the middle of a flirtatious moment when Wang Yanzhang's shout startled them. Li Zhu could only helplessly sit back down in his seat. He had to be more discreet in front of her father; otherwise, if his future father-in-law was unhappy, their relationship would face numerous difficulties...
"Yue..."
Li Zhu almost blurted out "Father-in-law" to Wang Yanzhang, but he stopped himself in time, otherwise who knows what might have happened. He then continued vaguely...
Has the moon risen?
"No…"
Wang Yanzhang replied angrily, wondering to himself, "Why ask about the moon in broad daylight? Is this prince out of his mind? Or is he just impatient to drag me into the harem?"
"Then let's continue..."
Li Zhu gave the order without looking to the side. Wang Yanzhang glanced at him questioningly, then lowered the curtain, where his warning voice came from outside.
"Even if you convince my daughter, I will never agree to be with you. Just give up on that idea..."
After saying that, he angrily pulled down the curtain. Only then did Wang Riqing realize that his father was such a simpleton. The two of them were so close, yet he still stubbornly believed that Li Zhu wanted to use him to make a move on him.
"Haha...your dad's pretty funny..."
Li Zhu couldn't help but laugh; Wang Yanzhang seemed a bit stubborn no matter how you looked at him!
"Your father is..."
Wang Riqing was about to say that his father was the more interesting one, but he quickly realized that this guy's father was the emperor. If he really said such a thing, he would probably have his family and clan wiped out the next day...
"Haha...Want to see something even more interesting?"
Li Zhu knew exactly what Wang Riqing wanted to say, but he didn't care about that. He was only interested in flirting with girls right now, so he took the initiative to change the subject and asked a different question!
"Something even more interesting?"
Wang Riqing didn't understand what it meant, then he saw Li Zhu lift the curtain and speak to Wang Yanzhang.
"General Wang looks truly imposing..."
Just one sentence was enough to make Wang Yanzhang tremble. He then turned away from Li Zhu to avoid being seen, a comical little trick that made people chuckle...
However, the carriage had curtains on both sides. As soon as Wang Yanzhang reached the left side, Li Zhu lifted the left curtain and said...
"General Wang, you look truly majestic on horseback..."
After Li Zhu finished speaking, Wang Yanzhang gritted his teeth and turned to the other side, looking rather pathetic. The sight of such a clumsy and comical general was almost laughable, especially since Li Zhu, whom he was trying so hard to avoid, had absolutely no interest in him, while Wang Yanzhang remained oblivious to the truth...
"Qingqing, don't you think your dad looks kind of funny?"
Li Zhu forced a smile and said!
Wang Riqing's face immediately darkened. Only now did he realize that Li Zhu was a real scoundrel, flirting with her while mocking her father. What kind of person is that?
But in the end, he couldn't help but laugh. After all, it was his father, so a laugh was nothing. It's rare to see someone so lovable goofball like this...
"Who dares to ram the Crown Prince's carriage..."
Suddenly, Wang Yanzhang's furious roar came from outside the car. The next moment, the sounds of weapons clashing and sharp objects cutting through flesh could be heard, along with the screams of those about to die...
Before the two could even go outside to check, the carriage was knocked over, causing them to lose their balance. To protect Wang Riqing, Li Zhu instinctively pulled him into his arms to prevent further impact after they fell…
