Rong Wei was silent for a long time. When Qu Li's patience was almost exhausted, he finally sighed heavily.
"You can say I'm selfish!"
Qu Li frowned, her eyes filled with inquiry.
"In the beginning, you helped solve the problem of disaster relief food in the north and saved countless innocent people. I want to adopt you as my great-granddaughter. I think this will give you a sense of support."
Although she and Xiao Xian divorced amicably, women were treated harshly in this era and there were still many rumors. With the support of the Prince of Zhongshan's Palace, she was able to silence the gossips.
Qu Li was stunned for a moment and said "hmm" softly.
"However, I later realized that my idea was ridiculous. Anyone who can provide disaster relief food is already excellent enough and doesn't need to find any support."
"Thank you, King Zhongshan, for your praise."
"Now, Ye Hua has been spoiled by me. Although she is an excellent martial artist, she has become more and more impulsive. It really proves the saying that love can make people lose themselves."
Qu Li just responded with an embarrassed smile.
"I acknowledge you as my granddaughter. You are older than Ye Hua, so you don't have to worry about what you want to do in the future!"
"I need to think about this carefully."
"Don't worry, I will never let the emperor get suspicious."
Thinking of the time when Rong Wei had visited Emperor Kang in the palace before, she guessed that Rong Wei must have done something to make Emperor Kang no longer have any concerns about him.
"Okay, I agree."
Qu Li was full of anticipation when he thought about using his status as an elder to suppress Rong Yehua in the future.
"However, I think that since the King of Zhongshan wants me to help you control Princess Yehua, it shouldn't be possible with just my granddaughter."
Rong Wei's eyes darkened. "What do you want to do?"
"How about we become sworn sisters? Although I'm a bit too high-minded, you probably don't want Princess Ye Hua to die in this treacherous capital, right?"
This time, it was Rongwei's turn to be slow to speak.
Qu Li didn't urge him, but just sipped tea leisurely.
Ever since she used the spiritual spring water to solve the raging fire in the High Priest's Mansion, the spiritual spring water has been very scarce for a long time. She was even worried that the spiritual spring would dry up.
Then one day, the spiritual spring water suddenly gushed out, and she was shocked to discover that the quality of this spiritual spring water had improved more than a hundred times compared to before.
The tea brewed with the current spiritual spring water is extremely sweet.
Rong Wei stared at her calm face for a full minute before saying, "Okay, in that case, I'll have someone choose a date and invite witnesses when I get back."
"good."
"Your Majesty, what did Miss Qu say?"
As soon as Rongwei walked out of Wenzhaoyuan, Zhuoli couldn't wait to ask.
"This Qu Li is quite interesting. She actually wants to become sworn brothers with me!"
"This!!" Zhuoli's face was filled with horror. "You and Miss Qu are sworn sisters, but you and the Empress Dowager are from the same generation... Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
"This time, Ye Hua foolishly ran to Wen Zhaoyuan and made trouble. Qu Li, for my sake, did not investigate further! But what about next time? If Ye Hua continues like this, he will definitely suffer greatly."
Zhuoli pondered for a moment, and suddenly realized the deep meaning of his sworn brotherhood with Qu Li, and couldn't help sighing.
"The prince really has good intentions for the princess!"
"Go back first."
The news that King Zhongshan and Qu Li wanted to become sworn brothers spread like wildfire, and soon everyone knew about it.
The first to oppose it was Rong Yehua.
The last time she went to Wenzhaoyuan and made trouble, she was severely punished by Rongwei. Since then, she has been very well-behaved and dared not make trouble.
But since she heard about this, she could no longer control herself. She ran to Rongwei and glared at him angrily.
"Great-grandfather, are you old and confused?"
Rongwei raised his eyelids, and his cloudy but sharp eyes stared at her exasperated face.
"Ye Hua, where are your rules?"
"Great-grandfather, if you want to become sworn sisters with Qu Liyi, won't I be trampled under her feet from now on?"
"You are a law-abiding person, respecting the elderly and loving the young. How could she deliberately pick on you?"
"Great-grandfather!" Rong Yehua was so angry that he almost vomited blood: "Aren't you making me a laughing stock in the whole capital?"
Whenever she thought about having to call Qu Li "Aunt Zeng" in the future, she wanted to bang her head against the wall.
"I've made up my mind! If you feel it's inappropriate, or if you feel ashamed, you can also declare that you are severing ties with me."
These words were quite harsh, leaving no room for Rong Yehua at all.
Rong Yehua's mouth opened in shock, and he stared at Rong Wei in disbelief, who didn't seem to be joking at all.
"Great-grandfather, you..."
She stammered, unable to utter a complete sentence.
Rongwei clenched his fists, put them against his lips and coughed several times.
Rong Yehua bit his lip, turned around and ran out angrily.
"Zhuoli, have someone keep an eye on Ye Hua and don't let him go out and cause trouble for Qu Li again."
Last time, Qu Li didn't pursue the matter with Ye Hua out of consideration for his feelings. If she acted up again this time, Qu Li would definitely not tolerate her anymore.
"I will follow you personally."
Rongwei waved his hand.
Rong Yehua returned to his room, and the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't swallow it.
My great-grandfather has always had high standards. Even if he admired Qu Li, valued her talent, and recognized her as his great-granddaughter, it would be a great honor for Qu Li's ancestors.
Who would have thought that he would become sworn sisters with Qu Liyi.
She bit her lip, left quietly, and headed straight for Wenzhaoyuan.
"Qu Li, you are not allowed to become sworn brothers with your great-grandfather."
Knowing that the news of her sworn brotherhood with Rong Wei had spread to everyone, Qu Li had long expected that Rong Yehua would definitely come to find her, and did not arrange for anyone to stop him. Therefore, Rong Yehua came to Qu Li without any hindrance.
"Is this how you talk to your elders?" Qu Li was intimidating without even getting angry, and there was a dark wave in those Nongli eyes.
Rong Yehua was stared at by her stern gaze, and felt inexplicably uneasy, so he took half a step back.
Realizing how embarrassing he had been, Rong Yehua cursed himself in his heart.
Qu Li picked up the teapot, poured another cup of tea, and pushed it to Rong Yehua.
Rong Yehua pursed his lips, his eyes full of ferocity: "Qu Li, if you don't reject my great-grandfather today, I will never let you go!"
Qu Li tilted her head and opened her red lips slightly: "I can refuse this matter! However, the premise is that you drink this cup of tea first."
"Do you think I'm a fool?"
Qu Li's medical and poison skills are extremely advanced.
If she drank her tea, even if she didn't die, she would definitely be skinned alive.
Qu Li scoffed, "You don't even have the courage to drink a cup of tea, so what right do you have to come to me and order me to refuse the King of Zhongshan?"
"Qu Li, my great-grandfather is so old, do you have the nerve to become sworn sisters with him?"
Qu Li stood up, and the oppressive pressure emanating from his body made Rong Yehua feel uneasy again.
She felt like a coward, clenched her fists, puffed out her chest, and glared at Qu Li.
