Feng Yi's words made Qu Li's eyes tear up.
Her eyes were red and she stared at him without blinking. When he was about to tease her again, she threw herself into his arms.
"Little fool!" Feng Yi's big palm fell on her slender back and patted it gently.
Qu Li sniffed, "Ayi, thank you!"
"Between you and me, what do we say thank you for?"
If it weren't for the fact that the old man in Southern Qi was still unwilling to give up and was planning to take in a new concubine, he wouldn't want to go back now.
"Okay, I won't say thank you, and I will never say these two words again."
Feng Yi leaned over and gently touched the tip of her nose, "Then you must remember this clearly."
"Miss!"
The atmosphere was just right, and when Feng Yi was about to kiss her beautiful lips, Qiao Zi's voice came from outside.
"What's wrong?"
Feng Yi's voice was very low, as if a storm was about to come.
Even through the door, Qiao Zi could feel the pressure so strong that it seemed to crush his fragile heart.
He swallowed nervously and replied, "The King of Zhongshan has arrived and has been invited to the front hall."
Qu Li frowned, "Could it be that Rong Wei came here at this time because of the gift Xiao Xian just gave him?"
Feng Yi raised his hand, smoothing the wrinkles between her brows with his slender fingers: "The King of Zhongshan is not such a confused and petty person."
"But Rong Yehua did go to Wenzhaoyuan last time and caused a big commotion."
"From what I know, the Prince of Zhongshan severely disciplined her and even told her that if she continued like this, Xiao Xian wouldn't need to ask her to break off the engagement. He took the initiative to ask Emperor Kang to cancel the arranged marriage."
"But they are already husband and wife after all."
"Rong Yehua has always been impulsive, and he cares too much about Xiao Xian. So, he's become even more stupid than he used to be."
"Hahaha!"
Qu Li was amused by his words, and her eyebrows curved like crescent moons.
Feng Yi just looked at her quietly and felt a happy and sweet feeling.
He thought that after returning to Nanqi, he should start preparing for their wedding.
If Qian Jiuzhao had extraordinary abilities and could find the golden eagle, then she wouldn't have to endure the hardship of a long journey. She could be protected by the golden eagle and quickly go to Nanqi to get married.
Qu Li naturally didn't know that Feng Yi had thought so much in such a short time.
She said to Qiao Zi, "I'll be there soon, you go ahead and greet them first."
She was about to turn around and leave when her slender wrist was grabbed. The next moment, she was held in Feng Yi's arms, and his unique aura quickly surrounded her.
Only when he felt a pain like a needle piercing his lungs did Feng Yi reluctantly let her go.
Looking at her slightly swollen lips, Feng Yi said in a hoarse voice, full of apology: "I couldn't help it for a moment."
He found that he was less and less willing to be separated from Li'er recently. What was even worse was that whenever they were together, he couldn't help but want to touch her.
Qu Li's cheeks were burning hot, and her bright eyes were tinged with shyness, misty and charming.
"You're going too far!"
She was about to meet Rong Wei. If he kissed her like this at this time, wouldn't it make her lose face?
After scolding her, she turned and left without even looking at Feng Yi again.
Feng Yi touched her lips, and it seemed that the sweetness belonging to Qu Li was still lingering on them.
The corners of his mouth were raised, and even the curve of his mouth was filled with happiness.
Before Qu Li entered the front hall, he took several deep breaths and deliberately let himself be blown by the cold wind for a while. The temperature on his cheeks subsided and his heartbeat slowed down. Then he walked in.
"King Zhongshan, why are you here?"
"Before, Ye Hua was ignorant and came to your place to cause trouble. I have already taught her a lesson."
Qu Li doesn't like to show off, and her current identity is indeed a bit sensitive. If she really wants to get to the bottom of it, Ye Hua really can't afford the consequences.
"I just thought Princess Ye Hua was an ignorant child."
She respects Rong Wei, but will not tolerate Rong Yehua.
Her light words were like a slap in the face, turning Rong Wei's old face pale and blue.
"It's all my fault that I didn't teach her well."
"Actually, King Zhongshan doesn't need to blame himself like this! When I said I treated Princess Ye Hua like an ignorant child, I wasn't deliberately mocking King Zhongshan!"
Rongwei pulled the corners of his mouth stiffly.
Qu Li took a sip of tea and said, "This tea tastes good. King Zhongshan should try it."
"Actually, I came here today for another thing."
"You are welcome, King Zhongshan. Feel free to speak your mind. If there is anything I can do to help, I will do my best."
"I've said before that I want to thank you very much for resolving the issue of disaster relief grain."
"King Zhongshan is truly embarrassing me! Everything I do, and everything you do, has the same purpose and the same result: it's all for the innocent people of Dagan!
I still remember when I left the capital, there were disaster victims everywhere and countless starving people!
This time when I came back, I didn't see any more disaster victims, and there was no burning, killing, or looting. I felt that everything I had done was worth it! "
The implication is to tell Rongwei that everything I do is just out of conscience and I don’t need your thanks.
Rongwei is considered an old man, how could he not hear the deep meaning in her words?
"These words of thanks really shouldn't be said by me! After all, Da Gan is the emperor's Da Gan." Rongwei clasped his hands together and bowed deeply towards the direction of the palace.
Qu Li just drank tea quietly.
In this case, it is better to say nothing than to say more.
"Whether it's the disaster relief food or the previous marriage between Prince Chen and Ye Hua, I have to express my gratitude to you."
"King Zhongshan is very polite."
If it weren't for the natural disasters in the south and north, she wouldn't have had such close contact with Rongwei.
"You are such a shrewd girl!"
No matter what Rong Wei said, Qu Li could always talk him back cleverly.
Rongwei was originally a military commander, and also a brave general who was used to being free and easy. He felt tired of always speaking those flowery words.
Qu Li smiled.
"To put it bluntly, I want to recognize you as my granddaughter."
Qu Li's hands were shaking and half a cup of tea almost spilled on himself.
She stared at Rongwei in disbelief, the words "Are you sure?" clearly written in her eyes.
Rongwei was finally able to remain calm and composed, but a hint of shock appeared on her face, and the corners of her mouth curled up like a child.
"It's rare for something like this to make you look so different!"
"King Zhongshan, did I hear correctly just now?"
"You heard right, I want to recognize you as my granddaughter."
"Is she a granddaughter, not a great-granddaughter?" Qu Li asked again uncertainly.
"Yes, you heard it right."
Her eyes were full of confusion. Her brain was working at high speed, but she still couldn't figure out his purpose. "But what do you want?"
