"Then... That means, Miss Qian Li knows about the feelings Li Nian has for you? "
Qian Li answered with a question, "So what if I know, so what?"
"If you know that she is still this calm, then there is only one possibility, and that is, Miss Qian Li does not feel anything for Li Nian."
Qian Li's eyes flashed. She did not reply, but the meaning was obvious.
"Then... What did Lady Qian Li do to the Prince? "Don't tell me …"
Qian Li turned her head, and her tone sounded a little hurried, "If there isn't a problem with Qian Li's memories, then Qian Li seems to have already answered this question. Between Qian Li and the Prince, there is only a master and servant relationship. Other than that, there's nothing else. "
"But …"
Before the butler could finish speaking, Qian Li raised his hand and interrupted them, "They are here."
Just as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open, "Miss Qian Li."
The butler and Qian Li turned their heads to look at the door at the same time and saw Susu and the servant pushed it open to walk in.
"Yo, where's the butler?"
Even though she was unwilling, the steward still went to welcome her. "Esteemed wangfei, why have you come?"
Susu's complexion was good, and she seemed to be in a good mood too. The gloomy feeling from before seemed to have disappeared in an instant.
She seemed to be having a good time lately.
The current Susu was being supported, walking very carefully.
Following the position where she was supported on, Qian Li swept towards her fingers, the thumb on his right hand truly did not have much strength.
It seemed like the imperial physicians of the palace were of no use.
"Yes." The butler bowed his head and answered respectfully.
"A few Japanese Concubine wanted to ask the steward for help, but the steward kept hiding and did not want to see Concubine. How come he still has so much time to run over to Miss Qian Li's side?"
After saying that, without waiting for the butler to reply, Susu continued, "It looks like Miss Qian Li's face is truly much bigger than mine."
Susu seemed to have changed a lot, her tone of voice was still strange, it was just that she had become smarter, and a smile appeared on her face. She was not like before, where her emotions were written all over.
It looks like she had indeed remembered that lesson in her heart.
However, this person's habits and personality couldn't be changed in a short period of time.
Therefore, Qian Li never expected this person to slightly change his tone of voice.
"Princess Wangfei has misunderstood this old servant."
He smiled apologetically and said, "Previously, I did indeed go out because of something. Today, I just returned to the palace, and before that, no one has told this old servant that Princess Hua-Yang had come to find me. If I knew, this old servant would have immediately gone to find her, right?"
"Is that so?" Susu asked.
The butler nodded and walked towards Susu.
The respectful appearance made Qian Li have an illusion.
It was a good thing that she knew the nature of the butler. Otherwise, if she was an unfamiliar person and saw his current appearance, she would definitely feel disgusted.
"Of course, if you don't believe it, you can verify it at any time."
Susu waved his hand, "Forget it. Steward, as a member of the Prince's estate, you should know what's good for you. How could I not believe what you say? "
"Thank you for your understanding, Esteemed wangfei."
This time, Susu did not reply. Instead, she was supported by the people beside her into Qian Li's room, and directly sat down on a chair. When she sat down, the Pear Blossom that Qian Li had placed on the table earlier seemed to have been knocked over by her.
Qian Li's face changed slightly. But she did not speak.
"Yo, what is this? "Did you knock it over?"
Qian Li bent down, crouched down, and then began picking it up seriously.
There was still half left in the flower basket, which made her mood not so bad.
The ground was littered with petals. She stretched out her hand and picked them up. Some of the petals were stained with some dust, but she carefully wiped them off.
And it was at this time, Susu used her moth once again.
She seemed to be very anxious. When she stood up, she even accidentally stepped on him a few times. If not for Qian Li's quick hand movements, he would have already been stepped on.
"What is Miss Qian Li doing? This Concubine will help you. "
After saying that, she continued to retreat, as if she wanted to avoid the attack. However, every step she took landed on the flower petals on the ground.
Since that was the case, Qian Li didn't even have the mood to pick them up.
She dusted the dust off her hands and stood up.
Looking at the flower basket on the ground that had been knocked over again due to Susu's earlier action, and then looking at the leftover basket, she felt that it was childish.
To be honest, Susu's ability at framing people, this method of beating people up, was much more stupid than the concubines in the palace.
"No need, I've already stepped on it. Even if I pick it up, what can I do?"
Qian Li felt that what she had said was exactly what Susu wanted, because she had just opened her mouth, but before she could even finish speaking, Susu had already stood up.
"That's right, there are still so many petals outside anyway. If Miss Qian Li feels tired from plucking them, she just need to say that I will send someone to pick them for you, and that will not be a problem, let alone a basket of them."
The corner of Qian Li's mouth twitched. Did she really think that all the flower petals could be plucked?
If he was done picking all the fruits, did he not want the pear tree to bear fruit?
Therefore, Qian Li quickly waved her hands and rejected her.
"There's no need. Those petals are so beautiful. What's the point of picking them?"
Qian Li was dressed in bright red clothes, appearing incomparably beautiful in the sea of flowers.
Even without the make-up, her skin was still tender.
Susu secretly glared at Qian Li, but his face was still smiling merrily. She said, "That's true, but if Miss Qian Li wants to pick it in the future, just let me know. You are a friend of the wangfei, so don't even mention picking flowers, even if you want something extremely precious, I will definitely help you get it if you ask me."
While speaking, Susu even reached out to grab Qian Li's hand.
Qian Li withdrew them without leaving a trace, "There's no need to trouble your consort. Thanks to the Duke's care, Qian Li is able to live here, and thus she would definitely not dare to make any requests."
"From the looks of it, Miss Qian Li is very self-aware. Since you know that it is troublesome staying here, then why did you stay here for a few months? And you don't even have the slightest intention of leaving? "
No matter how foolish Susu was, such words would definitely not come out directly.
Therefore, the one who said this was actually the maid who was standing beside her.
"Little Peach, what are you talking about?"
"The wangfei is kind, so she doesn't care about this person, but this servant can't stand it. Since the beginning, other than the wife of the lord, concubines and others can live in the palace. "Esteemed wangfei, this servant has to say it. You're too kind. It's not convenient for the prince to speak of such things, so the wangfei should at least say something …"
"Little Peach, are you still going on? Miss Qian Li is a friend of the Prince, we should treat her with respect. "
Hearing this, the servant became even angrier, she said, "If Prince didn't have a family, it would naturally be fine. But now that Prince already has a family background, the other girls should naturally avoid arousing suspicion, this servant understands. Does Lady Qian Li not know? "
Seeing the two in front of him singing the same tune, Qian Li did not say anything, but what was rare was that the butler also did not say anything.
But when Qian Li and the butler looked at each other, the two of them saw the playfulness in each other's eyes.
Yes, this kind of thing, if it wasn't something that had been discussed long ago, if it wasn't for Susu's instructions, how would a servant girl dare to yell at her, a friend of the Duke in name, right in front of him?
Qian Li also noticed that before she said those words, she clearly hesitated for a long time.
Furthermore, her eyes had never dared to look at Qian Li before.
Qian Li folded her arms across her chest. She did not intend to answer this foolish question from the start.
She dug her ear out. It was as if there was suddenly a bunch of noisy flies around her.
Seeing that Qian Li did not bother to respond, Susu became a little anxious, and she signaled Little Peach with her face. She had no choice but to continue.
"I wonder how long Lady Qian Li still intends to stay in the Prince's Mansion?"
Oh, we've finally gotten to the point.
Qian Li straightened her body, "How long will Qian Li have the final say on how long it will take? About this, even the Prince has to decide."
"You …"
"Qian Li's life was given to him by the Duke, so whatever she says is what she wants to say. If any of you are truly curious about when Qian Li will leave … It just so happens that Qian Li is really curious as to when the Prince will allow Qian Li to leave. "
These words seemed to be a bit awkward, but it made her speechless.
Yes, isn't it up to the prince to decide how long he stays?
And Susu, wasn't it because she knew that the prince wouldn't chase Qian Li away, that was why he came to force Qian Li?
