Xiao Xian is in a very bad mood now.
"Why didn't you let me ask about the giant python and the white tiger?"
Qu Li is making tea.
Her hands were slender and white, and the way she scooped tea with a spoon was very pleasing to the eye.
"Do you think the Emperor wouldn't find it strange? But, he is his eldest son after all!"
Xiao Xian sat down opposite her.
The black teaspoon contrasted sharply with her white hands, and when his eyes fell on her hands, he had the urge to hold them.
As if sensing his burning gaze, Qu Li picked up the teapot on the small red clay stove.
The curling water vapor blurred each other's vision.
"Xiao Xian, you definitely don't want to taste boiled pig's trotters, right?"
Thinking of how she had used silver needles and anesthetic injections before, Xiao Xian touched his nose awkwardly.
"I didn't do anything."
Qu Li smiled, "You can't even think about it."
He coughed lightly and said nothing more.
"Perhaps the Emperor has already figured out that the tiger and the python are related to the eldest prince, but he is still his eldest son! You may not know what the first child means to his parents."
Hearing her words, Xiao Xian's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
He didn't understand how Qu Liming, who was just a little girl, could know so much.
"You are indeed different from before!"
Qu Li was slightly startled, "I told you, the old Qu Li is dead!"
Even though he had heard it countless times, Xiao Xian still felt a sharp pain in his heart when he heard such words again. The pain made it almost impossible for him to breathe normally.
The aroma of tea filled the air. She picked up the teacup, put it to her nose and sniffed it gently.
"There's a saying that goes, 'If a son isn't well educated, it's the fault of his father!' You've spoken it publicly, and while you may feel relieved, the emperor will lose face, and there will be all sorts of rumors and gossip!"
Xiao Xian just looked at her deeply and said nothing.
"Even if you do nothing, given the Second and Fourth Princes' temperaments, they're bound to not let the First Prince go. Why don't we just fight it out?"
There was a glint of intelligence in her eyes, and when the corners of her mouth raised slightly, two shallow dimples appeared.
Xiao Xian felt that all the blood in his body was rushing to his lower abdomen, but when he met her indifferent eyes, all the rushing blood seemed to be frozen in an instant.
He could only look at that beautiful face deeply and with affection, his heart filled with regret!
Eunuch Fu's voice came from outside.
Qu Li hunted a fierce tiger and a giant python today, which earned face for Da Gan. Emperor Kang was very generous and gave him a generous reward.
She didn't act pretentiously and asked Eunuch Fu where the tiger was kept. Then after dinner, she ran to the backyard.
The tiger has woken up. Being locked in such a small cage, it is very angry and roars from time to time.
The tiger's roar was so deafening that the guards all looked pale.
When Qu Li, the tiger hunting hero, arrived, they breathed a sigh of relief, straightened their backs, and respectfully saluted Qu Li as a military general.
"Princess Chen, this tiger has been roaring non-stop since it woke up."
Qu Li nodded, "I'll do it."
She walked slowly towards the tiger.
When enemies meet, they are especially jealous of each other.
The tiger raised its head and roared at Qu Li.
Qu Li took out some spiritual spring water from the space.
Menghu sniffed and looked at Qu Li with a complicated look.
"Want some water?"
Whenever she saw this ferocious tiger, she would always think of Goudan, who would drink until his stomach was bulging every time he entered the space.
So, she decided to use the spiritual spring water to tame the tiger.
The tiger's two lantern-like eyes were fixed on the small cup of spiritual spring water in her hand.
"If you want to drink water, be good. Otherwise, I will just let you sleep like before!"
The tiger blinked.
"I know you've been tamed before! The taming process must not have been pleasant."
She did not regard the tiger in front of her as a beast, but as a partner.
Moreover, she felt that after drinking the spiritual spring water, Goudan became more and more spiritual, and his fur became more and more shiny.
Therefore, the tamed tiger should become her partner like Goudan.
The tiger tilted its big head, and its previous fierce look was gone, and it looked a little cute.
"No matter who your previous master was, if you want to drink such delicious spiritual spring water every day in the future, you must recognize that I am your master."
“Ouch—”
The tiger roared to the sky again.
Hearing the tiger's roar, several guards were worried about Qu Li.
Unexpectedly, Qu Li was not afraid at all and even sat on the ground next to the cage.
Their admiration for Qu Li increased a little more.
She is indeed a woman who can hunt tigers!
Princess Chen is so awesome!
Qu Li didn't know what these guards were thinking. She saw the tiger stretching out a claw, and she couldn't wait to touch the spiritual spring water in her hand. A smile appeared between her eyebrows.
"You'll be called Hudan from now on!"
Menghu said that if he could speak, he would definitely not want such a silly and rustic name.
It is the king of the forest, and it sounds like a dog egg!
Qu Li reached out, touched the furry tiger's head, and put the cup into the cage.
The tiger stuck out its tongue and drank the whole cup of spiritual spring water in just two gulps.
It looked at Qu Li pitifully, indicating that it still wanted to drink.
Qu Li couldn't help laughing. "Tiger Egg, I will ask the Emperor for you. However, if you don't want to become a tiger-skin mattress, you must listen to me and stop howling in anger. Do you understand?"
Tiger Egg blinked pitifully.
This is really treating it like a dog!
It is the king of the forest!
However, for the sake of the spiritual spring water, it endured it.
When Qu Li was communicating with Hu Dan, Kang Di and Xiao Xian were standing not far away.
Xiao Xian was worried about Qu Li. After all, today's tigers and pythons were all targeting Qu Li.
He was worried that Qu Li was in danger, and he knew that he was not very popular at the moment, so he followed her at a distance.
I didn't expect to see Kangdi.
Having just dealt with one of his sons, Kangdi was in a particularly low mood. There seemed to be more white hair on his temples, making him look ten years older.
Xiao Xian was about to speak, but Emperor Kang raised his hand to stop him.
The father and son stood not far away, watching Qu Li sitting on the ground and talking to Hu Dan.
"Qu Li has changed a lot compared to before!"
"I have the same idea!"
"Qu Li is a good girl. I used to think she was not worthy of you, but now I..."
Emperor Kang withdrew his gaze and looked Xiao Xian up and down.
Although he didn't say a word, Xiao Xian was not stupid and could naturally understand what Kangdi meant by that look.
He coughed lightly and said unhappily, "Father, how could this son of yours not be worthy of Li'er?"
