Rongjing Palace.
"Don't touch me! Don't touch me! Get out! Get out of here!" Before he even entered the hall, he could hear the young man's manic voice, accompanied by the sound of porcelain falling to the ground and breaking, and the panicked and coaxing voices of the palace servants.
The emperor's face changed slightly and he quickened his pace into the hall.
There was a sound of breaking air, and a plate flew over!
"Your Majesty, be careful!" Cao Yu exclaimed!
Li Wan thought, this plate was clearly thrown at her face, why did she ask the emperor to be careful? She wanted to avoid it, but this body was very slow to react, as if it was frightened, and she only subconsciously let out a soft cry from her throat -
Just as she was about to be hit, someone suddenly grabbed her arm and pulled her behind her back. Only screams were heard from inside the hall.
Qin Lin caught the flying plate and turned to look at Li Wan, a hint of nervousness flashing in his eyes: "Are you okay?"
Li Wan shook his head with lingering fear and said, "I'm fine." He smiled at Qin Lin and said, "Thank you, Guard Qin."
The emperor's phoenix eyes swept over Qin Lin's hand that was holding Li Wan's arm, his brows frowned slightly, and he felt inexplicably stuffy in his chest.
Qin Lin reacted, retracted his hand that was grabbing Li Wan's arm as if he had been electrocuted, and stepped back.
"emperor!"
All the palace servants in the hall were so frightened that they fell to their knees on the ground.
Only the Prince of Qi in a red robe was still standing, his thin chest heaving violently, his eyes red, like a mad beast. He stared at the group of people walking in from the palace gate with his red eyes, and when he saw the emperor, his angry eyes suddenly turned into aggrieved one.
“Brother!” The King of Qi ran to the emperor amid the mess, his red eyes filled with grievance: “Yuan Rong wants to go out and play! These slave boys won’t let him!”
Prince Yuan Rong of Qi was tall and thin, with eyes and eyebrows that were somewhat similar to the emperor's, except that his eyes were slightly rounder and his face had not yet developed any distinct angles. His eyes were very black and bright, but his expression was completely childish and innocent like a child.
The emperor, who had been rude to Li Wan, softened his expression and said to King Qi: "You are still ill. I ordered you to stay in the palace to recuperate and not go out."
The Prince of Qi, who had been as irritable as a mad beast in front of the palace servants just now, was also exceptionally docile in front of the emperor. He looked at the emperor with a pair of dark and bright eyes and said aggrievedly: "But Yuanrong's illness has been cured, Yuanrong..." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly stared at Li Wan who was standing behind the emperor. His eyes widened instantly, and then he clapped his hands and shouted with surprise: "It's you! It's you!"
Without waiting for others to react, he grabbed Li Wan's arm and brought her to the emperor, his face flushed with excitement: "Brother! I want her! Give her to me!"
Hearing this.
Cao Yu and others were a little stunned.
Cao Yu was stunned for a moment, then burst into secret joy, wishing that the emperor would dump Li Wan.
Qin Lin frowned slightly.
Li Wan was caught by the King of Qi. She looked at the emperor in panic, wondering if the emperor would take this opportunity to get rid of her.
The emperor looked at Li Wan. Seeing her looking at him with panicked and pleading eyes, his unhappiness subsided a little, and he said calmly, "No."
Although the tone was calm, it brooked no room for argument.
Li Wan heaved a sigh of relief and immediately gave the emperor a standard sweet smile to please him.
The emperor's eyes flickered and he looked away a little uncomfortably.
King Qi grabbed Li Wan's hand and refused to let go, asking aggrievedly, "Why? I just want her to play with me!"
The emperor said, "She belongs to me." He paused and said unnaturally, "She belongs to me. Okay, let her go."
The King of Qi looked at the Emperor, then at Li Wan, and reluctantly let go of Li Wan.
Cao Yu immediately bowed and said, "Master, you and His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi please move on. I will ask them to clean up this place first."
King Qi immediately said happily: "Let's go outside and play!" Then he grabbed Li Wan's hand and walked out.
The King of Qi grabbed Li Wan and asked as they walked away, "My name is Yuan Rong, what's your name, sister?"
Li Wan said: "I am the servant Li Wan."
The King of Qi immediately put his arm around Li Wan's shoulders, then sneaked over to her and whispered in a low voice, as if afraid that others would hear him: "Sister Wan, please teach me how to swim."
The King of Qi was tall and slender, half a head taller than Li Wan. From behind, he almost held Li Wan in his arms, with their heads leaning against each other, looking extremely intimate.
The emperor frowned and said, "Cao Yu, go and separate them. This is not decent."
Cao Yu responded and hurried forward to warn Li Wan in a low voice: "Miss Wan, the master wants you to stay away from His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi."
Li Wan could only try to keep a distance from King Qi.
But King Qi was particularly attached to her and even dragged Li Wan to watch ants under a tree.
The King of Qi took out a handful of rice from his purse and carefully sprinkled it under the tree. Then he put his hands on his knees, squatted there, stared at the tree, and whispered, "They will come out soon."
I waited for a long time, but no ants came.
The King of Qi still squatted there motionless.
Li Wan squatted with him patiently.
Not far away, the emperor was listening to what an unfamiliar palace servant was saying. Cao Yu and Qin Lin both took a few steps back.
The emperor raised his hand, and the palace maid quietly retreated.
The emperor then looked over to Li Wan and saw the two men squatting under the tree motionless. He couldn't help but ask, "What are they doing there?"
The palace servant of Rongjing Palace hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, His Highness has been coming to this tree to watch the ants recently."
The emperor looked at Li Wan who was squatting there for twice more. He was not surprised that the King of Qi would look at ants, but how could Li Wan squat there for so long?
Just about to step over.
"emperor!"
Only a gentle voice was heard.
Li Wan, who was squatting under a tree, could not help but turn his head when he heard the voice. From afar, he saw a petite beauty in green with four palace maids floating in front of the emperor, saying something with a sweet smile.
The King of Qi beside her suddenly became excited, shaking her arm and saying excitedly: "Sister Wan! Look! Look!"
Li Wan immediately turned around and saw a group of ants crawling out of the small hole under the tree. They quickly crawled to the pile of millet and started moving the rice grains in groups of several.
The petite beauty came before the emperor. Her face was flushed from the rush she had on the way. She looked very pretty. She timidly bent her knees and said in a tender voice, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Your Highness."
The emperor only glanced at her calmly: "Princess Yi, why are you here?"
Concubine Yi did not dare to look directly into the emperor's eyes. She quickly glanced at the emperor's handsome face, then lowered her eyes and said shyly, "I came to visit His Majesty the Prince of Qi. I didn't expect to run into the emperor. Is the emperor also here to visit His Majesty the Prince of Qi?"
The emperor hummed lightly, and looked at the two people squatting together over there with his phoenix eyes. He didn't know what the two people were whispering about.
Concubine Yi followed the emperor's gaze, her lively eyes full of curiosity: "Eh? Isn't that His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi? What is he doing there?"
I don’t know what Li Wan said, but the King of Qi suddenly laughed happily and clapped his hands while laughing.
Li Wan also turned her head to look at King Qi with a smile on her face.
Yipin widened her eyes slightly: "That's...Sister Wan?"
The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly: "Do you recognize her?"
Yipin said immediately, "Of course I recognize her! Before I entered the palace, I often played with Sister Wan." As she spoke, she raised her voice and called out, "Sister Wan!"
Li Wan heard her calling her, turned her head, and saw the beautiful woman in green beside the emperor looking at her with a smile.
Then a group of people walked over here.
Li Wan stood up and when the green-clad beauty came closer, he recognized her as Li Yuyuan, the second daughter of the Minister of Revenue, who had entered the palace the year before last.
Li Wanfu bowed and said, "I pay my respects to Concubine Yi."
Concubine Yi quickly stepped forward to help Li Wan up, and said angrily, "Sister Wan, what are you doing? When we were outside the palace, we were the best of friends. Why are we so distant now?"
Li Wan looked at the smiling Concubine Yi and thought to herself, "When Li Wan was outside the palace, she had only met Concubine Yi a few times. Although her father was the empress dowager's half-brother, he was only a fifth-rank official and was not valued by the empress dowager. He was always inconspicuous in Kyoto. In addition, "Li Wan" did not like socializing, and there were only a few invitations sent to her house in a year. Concubine Yi was the daughter of the Minister of Revenue, so her status was naturally different. Even when she met "Li Wan" at the banquet, they had never said a few words. But now they have become the best of sisters.
Li Wan saw through it but didn't say anything, and even smiled cooperatively.
Yipin held Li Wan's hand tightly and said, "I heard that Sister Wan is now serving the Queen. I have always wanted to go see her, but I was too busy with palace affairs to get away. I didn't expect to meet her here today."
Li Wan smiled implicitly.
Yipin finally let go of Li Wan's hand and looked at the Prince of Qi, saying with concern, "Your Highness, Prince of Qi, are you feeling better?"
On the day when the King of Qi fell into the water, all the concubines in the harem wanted to visit him.
Who knew that the emperor issued an order not to allow anyone to disturb Rongjing Palace.
So each palace could only send some supplements.
The King of Qi didn't like himself and Li Wan being disturbed. He looked unhappy and didn't respond to her words. He raised his chin and snorted coldly. He turned his head to face Li Wan with a smile. He tugged at Li Wan's sleeve and said expectantly, "Sister Wan, let's go play somewhere else. Do you want to see the rabbits I raise? They just gave birth to a litter of rabbits a few days ago! I'll take you to see them!"
Concubine Yi was a little embarrassed, but she just pinched the edge of her skirt, still smiling: "I like rabbits too. Can I go and see the rabbits of His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi?"
The King of Qi refused without thinking: "I won't show it to you! I'll only show it to Sister Wan! Sister Wan, let's go." As he said that, he was about to drag Li Wan away, just like a child.
The King of Qi was very strong, and Li Wan was dragged away by him after a hasty salute.
Concubine Yi had never been treated so coldly before. Her pretty face was full of grievance: "Your Majesty..."
The emperor interrupted her coldly: "Prince Qi, you have read it. Since the palace is busy, you should return early."
…
A piece of land was specially fenced off in Rongjing Palace for raising rabbits.
When Li Wan saw the nest of snow-white little white rabbits huddled together, she couldn't help but feel a little surprised. It was the first time she saw little rabbits that had just been born.
The King of Qi stepped over the horizontal railing, bent down and took one out from the nest.
Li Wan hurriedly said, "Be careful."
The King of Qi held the rabbit in front of Li Wan, as if presenting a treasure: "Look!"
Li Wan stretched out her hand and carefully touched the top of the little white rabbit's head with her fingertips. The soft touch of her fingertips made her heart soften, her eyebrows became gentle, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.
She was wearing a light green palace dress, which made her skin look white and transparent. She had eaten well and slept well in the past few days, and her complexion had improved a lot. She was naturally beautiful, and at this moment, her thick black eyelashes drooped as she looked at the little rabbit in the King of Qi's hands. Her eyebrows were gentle, and there was a smile on the corners of her lips, which made her even more charming.
The King of Qi was a little stunned and couldn't help but say, "Sister Wan, you are so beautiful."
Li Wan raised her head and smiled at him generously.
The King of Qi blinked and said: "Sister Wan looks even better when she smiles."
A big hand suddenly came across and snatched the rabbit from the King of Qi's hand.
The action is rude.
Li Wan subconsciously cried out: "Be careful!"
The young man glanced at her with dissatisfaction in his beautiful phoenix eyes.
Li Wan shut up immediately, not knowing when the emperor would come.
The emperor held the little rabbit in his hand. He was startled by the soft touch and his movements became cautious.
Seeing Li Wan staring at the rabbit in his hand, he was moved and asked, "Want to touch it?"
Li Wan looked at him, her eyes filled with expectant inquiry.
The emperor snorted in a nasty tone: "Don't touch it."
Li Wan looked at him in surprise.
The emperor's mood suddenly became extremely happy.
