"When I saw Princess Ye Hua performing the military salute to the Emperor in the Imperial Study that day, I was shocked and in awe. But I never expected that Princess Ye Hua wouldn't even admit her feelings. I was overthinking it!"
These words were full of sarcasm, so much so that Rong Yehua's face, with its three-dimensional features, turned pale and blue, and he could hardly maintain any expression.
Jiang Ping and Ling Meihua looked at each other in surprise when they heard this.
Qu Li raised the corner of his eyebrow, "If that's the case, then Princess Ye Hua should stay away from Prince Chen!"
She said this on purpose to arouse Rong Yehua's competitive spirit.
If there was someone who could pester Xiao Xian now, she would be happy to see it happen.
Guangping's face changed drastically when he heard what Qu Li had said before.
To the extent that his gaze towards Xiao Xian became complicated.
It was not until he heard her warning Rong Yehua that his tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed.
It seems that the princess still cares about the prince!
He couldn't suppress the curl of his lips, thinking that if he told this to Xiao Xian, Xiao Xian would be so happy.
Rong Yehua clenched his hands tightly, and a voice in his heart kept roaring.
She just likes Xiao Xian!
Why should she obey Qu Li just because he told her not to get close to Xiao Xian?
Qu Li's playful gaze was fixed on Rong Yehua, and he took in all the anger and jealousy in her eyes.
She added fuel to the fire at the right moment: "Is Princess Ye Hua still not leaving?"
Rong Yehua glared at her gloomily, "Princess Chen, it's perfectly normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Yehua always thought Princess Chen was quite jealous. After all, she pursued Prince Chen recklessly before, and many people even mocked her privately. But seeing you today, I realize that everyone misunderstood!"
Changle angrily said, "Rong Yehua, have you forgotten how my seventh cousin slapped you in the face last time?"
Everyone was surprised again.
Princess Ye Hua was actually slapped in the face by Princess Chen?!
Rong Yehua has always been arrogant, and now that such a humiliating story has been told to him in public, he is trembling with anger.
Changle snorted heavily and said to Guangping, "Are you dead? Seventh cousin is in this state now, why don't you take him back quickly?"
Guangping nodded heavily, and when his eyes fell on Qu Li's face, there was a hint of hope in his eyes.
Qu Li took a deep breath and ordered with a stern face: "This princess has hunted a fierce tiger and a giant python. No one should be able to catch them! Guangping, find someone to bring them back!"
"yes!"
Guangping was already worried that Xiao Xian was unconscious and that the hunting trip would be lost. When he heard what Qu Li said, he naturally couldn't stop smiling.
No matter how powerful the warriors of Southern Qi are, they cannot compare to the tigers and pythons hunted by the princess!
Although it is really strange that the tiger and the giant python appear here, it can be considered a bad thing turning into a good thing!
His eyes looked at Qu Li more and more brightly, and he immediately arranged for people to bring the tiger and the python back.
The situation in the dense forest is tense and dangerous everywhere, and the situation outside the dense forest is not much better.
As soon as they heard the tiger's roar, the royal guards stepped up their guard and the female members of the family went into the tent early.
Emperor Kang's face was stern: "Why is there a tiger in this southern suburbs villa?"
Zhao He, the person in charge of Nanjiao Villa, who was kneeling below, was also in a dilemma, with beads of cold sweat on his forehead.
"Your Majesty, I don't know either! I even sent someone to check carefully yesterday to make sure there weren't any ferocious beasts in this southern suburbs villa!"
Kangdi still had a cold face.
The tiger's roar was deafening. Although he hadn't seen it yet, he could already imagine how ferocious it was.
These people may not be strong enough to fill the gaps between the tiger's teeth.
In such a dangerous situation, the wisest thing to do is to evacuate the South Suburb Villa as soon as possible.
As luck would have it, the Southern Qi delegation was still there.
If they really did that, where would the power of their great deeds be?
Since Emperor Kang ascended the throne, he considered himself a wise ruler, but this was the first time he felt regret.
He enjoyed the peaceful and prosperous scene too much, and even because of the ten years of peace, he began to value civil affairs over military affairs.
If the soldiers had continued to strengthen their training as before, why would they have trembled in fear when they heard a tiger's roar?
Thinking of this, endless dark clouds rolled in Kangdi's deep eyes.
The virtuous concubine, who had already turned pale with fear, tried to calm herself down and comfort him.
"Your Majesty, we can no longer hear the roar of the tiger. I'm thinking that men like us are all very capable. Maybe someone has already hunted a tiger!"
She now desperately hopes to hunt the fierce tiger Xiao Ci, although the possibility is almost zero.
If the emperor is pleased, he might even appoint her Ci'er as the crown prince!
Kangdi was distracted before and did not pay close attention to the tiger's roar.
After being reminded, he frowned and listened carefully.
It seems that I really didn't hear the tiger's roar.
There were sounds of footsteps outside, and the secret guards who went to get information came in hurriedly.
"Your Majesty, someone has hunted a tiger!"
Hearing this, a smile finally appeared on Kangdi's face, which had always been as gloomy as ink.
He stood up suddenly and asked, "Who hunted it? Was it Ah Xian?"
The virtuous concubine's expression changed instantly.
"Your Majesty, I'm not sure either. It should be Prince Chen! I saw the one carrying the tiger was someone from Prince Chen's mansion!"
Kangdi's face was full of relief.
When the Southern Qi invaded, it was his son who led the troops to quell the war.
Otherwise, if Dagan had been defeated in that battle, the people of the world would have suffered misery!
The virtuous concubine forced a smile. "Prince Chen is indeed the pillar of our great cause! Although I can only stay in the harem, I often hear the eunuchs say that the people are very supportive of Prince Chen! They also say that if Prince Chen becomes emperor, he will definitely be a wise ruler."
Although Xiao Ci reminded her several times not to conflict with Xiao Xian for the time being, she still didn't want Emperor Kang to pay too much attention to Xiao Xian.
It is said that emperors have always been suspicious. If he heard the people's support for Xiao Xian, she didn't believe that Emperor Kang would have no grudges in his heart.
As she expected, the smile on Emperor Kang's face disappeared in an instant, and his deep eyes stared at Concubine Xian gloomily.
The virtuous concubine pretended to be frightened and knelt down quickly.
"Your Majesty, I have no other intentions. I just..." Her face turned pale and she choked with sobs, "I was just too happy and spoke without restraint! Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
Emperor Kang narrowed his eyes and said, "If I hear such words again, I will never let you off easily!"
He deliberately brought the virtuous concubine to the southern suburbs villa just to make the queen unhappy.
If the virtuous concubine is still so self-righteous, he doesn't mind putting her under house arrest together with the queen!
The virtuous concubine pursed her lips, quickly suppressed the messy thoughts in her mind, and accompanied Emperor Kang outside anxiously.
Kangdi stood with his hands behind his back, gazing into the distance.
The words of the virtuous concubine just now did stir up some waves in his heart.
He has always known that Ah Xian is excellent, but do the people really think that he is more wise than him, the emperor?
