Qu Li raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay, I also want to see if I can compare to Ling Yue, this talented woman."
Having done something wrong, Changsun Lingyue always feels guilty when facing Qu Li.
She exchanged a brief glance with Qu Li and quickly looked away.
Qu Li saw through it but didn't say anything. Soon, the sound of people reciting poems in high voices could be heard in the dining room.
Changsun Lingyue was not interested in writing poetry. Although she was a talented girl carefully taught by Changsun Wuji, she was no match for the ancient poems in Qu Li's mind that had a cultural heritage of five thousand years, so she naturally lost.
Her face was pale, and she looked as if she had been poured over by countless buckets of ice water. She sat there blankly.
The rest of the people all surrounded Qu Li.
At this moment, she, the once dazzling pearl, completely lost her luster.
She couldn't hear or speak, and she lost all five senses, entering a completely vacuum world.
"Lingyue?" Changsun Lingrui was the first to notice that something was wrong with Changsun Lingyue and shook her arm vigorously.
Qu Li glanced at her calmly and said, "Ling Yue, it's just a game. You don't have to feel embarrassed."
She opened her equally colorless lips and felt as if her throat was clogged with a ball of soaked cotton wool.
"I don't."
She felt that Qu Li did it on purpose.
Deliberately letting everyone look at her embarrassedly, she pulled the corner of her mouth bitterly: "I feel a little uncomfortable, I'm going back first!"
Qu Li stared at her receding figure, his eyes somewhat complicated.
The little emperor has endured a lot. The person who can accompany him in the future must be someone with a firm mind who does not take gains and losses too seriously.
Obviously, she initially thought that the person who had amazed her at a distance at the fireworks festival was not suitable for the little emperor.
"Cousin, what are you thinking about?" Chang Sun Wu asked in a low voice.
"Nothing! I just feel that Ling Yue seems to be out of shape recently and has a lot on her mind."
"I have indeed neglected her during this period. I will find time to have a good talk with her." Changsun Wuji interjected.
Qu Li nodded, "In that case, it's getting late, I'll go back first!"
"I'll take you there!" Chang Sun Wu stood up.
Chang Sun Li stood up with a gloomy face. "You were the one who received the package, but now it's time to send it off, right?"
Chang Sun Wu looked him up and down coldly, his eyes looking as if he wanted to peel him apart inch by inch.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" The gloom on Chang Sun Li's face grew heavier. "I'm taking my cousin home."
"If you were to encounter any danger, and you were powerless, would you be able to fight it out?"
Being ridiculed like this, Changsun Li was almost furious.
After he was born, he had been in poor health and could not practice martial arts.
Later, he finally recovered his health and passed the best age to practice martial arts.
Because he was smart and studious, Changsun Wuji trained him in the direction of literature.
"You're going too far!"
Chang Sun Wu raised the end of his eyebrows, his fox eyes curved in laughter. "I'm not being overly harsh, I'm just speaking the truth! Besides, throughout history, the truth always hurts the most. Otherwise, honest advice wouldn't be so unpleasant to the ear!"
"you--"
Chang Sun Li was so angry that he almost vomited three liters of blood.
Chang Sun Wu turned his head and looked at Qu Li with gentle eyes, "Cousin, let's go back."
Qu Li always found it funny when he saw his three cousins competing for favor.
At this moment, her smiling eyes were like crescent moons, and her porcelain-white face was even more like a lotus emerging from the water. When people looked at her, it was as if they saw the bright moon in the sky, and all they could do was yearn for it.
In just a moment, Changsun Wu understood the source of Changsun Lingyue's unwell behavior over the past few days.
Qu Li is like the sun, extremely dazzling in itself.
She doesn't need to rely on the sun's light like the moon does. She is just herself, confident and bright.
More importantly, she exudes confidence from the inside out, which is something that Changsun Lingyue, who has been well protected since childhood and lived in a greenhouse, cannot compare with.
"Third cousin, what's dirty on my face?"
Seeing Chang Sun Wu staring at him, Qu Li reached out and touched his cheek.
"No, let's go!"
Chang Sun Li sighed, like an eggplant hit by frost.
"What's that expression on your face?" Changsun Wuji glanced sideways.
"nothing."
"You should also pay more attention to Lingyue!"
"Isn't it you?"
The Changsun family seemed to have been cursed by some vicious person.
The third wife is a very good woman, a rare talented woman in Xiling, well-educated, and good-looking.
Unfortunately, they are always short-lived.
Moreover, all of them were in much worse health after giving birth, and the third wife passed away early.
Zhang Sun Wuji rolled his eyes at him and said, "If you don't even care about your own daughter, how can you be worthy of your wife who risked her life to give birth to your child?"
When the past was mentioned inadvertently, there was more sadness in Changsun Li's eyes.
This topic was indeed too depressing. Changsun Wuji coughed twice and said, "Alright, I'm tired. You should find some time to have a good chat with Lingyue."
"knew."
Qu Li and Chang Sun Li walked to the gate of the mansion, and Cai Yue hurriedly followed them out.
"Miss Qu, this is the snack that Miss packed for you."
Tianqing took it.
Qu Li nodded and said, "Please tell Ling Yue that I will definitely deliver it to her."
The carriage curtain dropped, and Chang Sun Wu frowned, "Who did Ling Yue ask you to give it to?"
"emperor."
Chang Sun Wu's eyes darkened slightly.
"Third cousin, what do you think of Caiyue recently?"
"How about what?"
He usually doesn't pay much attention to the maid Caiyue. In addition, Changsun Lingyue is a girl after all, so it is even more impossible for him to go to the backyard too often.
"I just feel like Caiyue seems a little different from the first time I saw her."
She had reminded Changsun Lingrui last time, but it seemed that Changsun Lingrui didn't find anything.
"I'll keep an eye on it, don't think too much."
"Um."
She believed that Chang Sun Wu was not just saying it casually, but would definitely take it to heart.
The rumbling sound of the carriage rolling over the bluestone slabs was infinitely amplified in the silent night.
Qu Li actually missed Feng Yi again.
"What are you thinking about?"
"nothing."
"Cousin, are you sure you want to leave Xiling in the future?"
“That’s indeed the idea.”
"Can you not leave?"
"Third cousin, I have someone I like."
When Chang Sun Wu heard this suddenly, it was as if fireworks exploded in his head, crackling and making him look completely confused.
"Cousin, what did you just say?" He asked again uncertainly, his eyes unblinking, afraid of missing any subtle changes in Qu Li's expression.
Qu Li was amused by his wide-eyed look, her brows drooping, "I said, I have someone I like! I think I might be with him in the future."
Chang Sun Wu was so excited that he almost burst into tears. Then, anger burned in his fox eyes: "Who the hell is this?!"
