Chapter 185: Instantly Melted With Cuteness

She sounded like she was joking, but Liu Shimei did not dare to take it lightly. She was afraid that she would step into a trap, so she said conservatively, “Empress must be joking. King Dun Yu is not sensible and is just doing it for fun. After the wedding, it would be better to have me take care of him.”
The implication of her words was that he was a fool and did things on a whim. If you were serious with him, you would lose!
Of course, Liu Shimei was very polite and cautious when she spoke to the Empress.
Qu Yingrong chuckled and said, “I know his personality, so you don’t have to be too nervous.”
Looking at Liu Shimei’s brows, she sighed again. The jade beads on her head swayed slightly because of her sigh.
Her eyes were filled with regret. “Your fate with the royal family hasn’t been broken yet. You are still the daughter-in-law of the royal family and also my daughter-in-law.”
“In the past, I was already familiar with you. Although the one you are engaged to is King Dun Yu, you don’t have to be distant from me.”
In the end, this topic was brought up!
Huangfu Lingyao was immediately unhappy. He pulled a long face as he raised his voice and questioned, “Empress, what do you mean by this? Don’t tell me you want Brother Crown Prince to fight with me for my wife?”
The husky exploded when it touched his bottom line.
Liu Shimei lowered her eyes and watched from the side. The palace was not like the outside, so she could not act rashly. If the situation was not right, she would think of another way.
To put it bluntly, it was still uncertain who would snatch whose wife!
The Host and the Crown Prince originally had some ambiguous feelings for each other. The Imperial Family and the Liu family had also tacitly agreed that Liu Shimei was the candidate for the Crown Princess Consort.
However, with Liu Yan’er’s scheme, the original Crown Princess had become the Second Prince’s future Princess Consort!
To put it bluntly, silly dog, you’re the one who stole his wife!
However, Qu Yingrong was not angry at his impudence. Instead, she found it very interesting. She laughed out loud and said, “You! What’s with your temper? Now that the Crown Prince had a candidate for the Crown Princess, sooner or later, one of the four would be chosen. After the Crown Prince’s wedding, it will be Shimei’s turn. No one needs to snatch from each other, so don’t lose your temper so easily!”
This tone was unexpectedly indulgent.
Huangfu Lingyao seemed to have been appeased by her. He snorted and said, “1 don’t care. She’s my wife now. If anyone tries to snatch her away from me, I’ll… I just… I’ll ask Big Cat to bite him!”
His voice was much softer, but his face was still puffed up.
Liu Shimei glanced at it from the corner of her eye, and her face instantly melted.
The silly puppy’s expression made her so happy that she wanted to hug this silly dog and rub his head!
However, she could not do that in front of the Empress. In front of her future mother-in-law, she could not teach her fiance a lesson. That would be breaking the rules.
Therefore, she lowered her head and remained silent.
Qu Yingrong shook her head helplessly and looked at Liu Shimei, asking in a low voice, “Why are you so anxious, Liu Shimei?”
Liu Shimei replied obediently, “It’s not that I’m in a rush. It’s just that I haven’t entered the palace for a while. Too many things have happened recently, so I’m a little absent-minded.”
“I also heard about your matter,” Qu Yingrong nodded and said. “There’s no need to take it to heart. After the Mid-Autumn Crown Prince’s wedding, you’ll be the Young Miss of Dun Yu’s Residence in the future. Some troubles can also be avoided.”
The Empress was well aware of what kind of infighting would happen in the backyard of every wealthy family and did not avoid this point.
This Empress gave people the impression that she did not care about trifles and had the forthright demeanor of a family. However, she was meticulous and had the warmth of a well-read book.
No one would have a bad impression of her the first time they met.
Liu Shimei did not sit for too long and left with Huangfu Lingyao.
Unexpectedly, just as she left Yongle Palace, she saw the Crown Prince walking over on the palace road!
