"Self-respect?" Gong Jue laughed uncontrollably, then said, "You never know what 'self-respect' means, moreover, who doesn't know the nature of this king?"

She looked at Gong Jue and thought for a long time, but still couldn't think of an excuse, so she could only apologize, "I had accidentally offended Your Highness that night, please forgive me."

Gong Jue laughed until his eyebrows curved, Qian Li realized that this person was actually quite good-looking when he was normal.

That's right, the genes of the Gong Family were always strong, any one of them would be unbearably handsome.

It was rumored that the old emperor had very high requirements for his concubines. Every single one of them had superior looks, his father was one, and his mother was so beautiful. How could he be ugly?

Furthermore, the Third Prince had completely inherited the old emperor's strengths and everything about his Mother Consort. When a pair of peach blossom eyes blinked, the expressions of the surrounding little girls would practically want to pounce on him.

She had personally seen this when she was still Murong Yan.

"Aiya, don't apologize to This King. This King has no immunity to beauties. As long as This King apologizes, it would be inconvenient for This King to do anything."

Qian Li frowned, and extended her hand to hold Gong Ming's hand: "The Great Hunting Competition has already begun, if the Third Marquis does not leave, I'm afraid he will fall behind."

After saying that, Gong Ming began to cooperate, he bowed to Third Prince and said, "Royal Brother, farewell."

But they finally managed to catch Qian Li with much difficulty. How could Gong Jue let her off like this?

Moreover, he wasn't like an ordinary prince, someone else's wife or someone whom others liked. As long as it was someone he liked, he would still snatch it away.

He pulled Qian Li back, "Why is the beauty in such a hurry? Wait, This King will be with you. "

After saying that, without waiting for Qian Li's opinion, he continued, "Ninth Royal Brother, do you have any objections to leaving together?"

Although it was still a gentle tone, there was a faint sense of threat in it.

That look, was as if if if Gong Ming were to reject it, he would annihilate him.

"This …"

Fortunately, this time, before Gong Ming could reply, Second Prince appeared. "Third brother, you're messing around again."

Hearing this voice, everyone turned to look.

The person who was walking over to him was the graceful yet very cold looking Second Prince, Gong Qu.

Amongst all the princes, Qian Li was the most familiar with this person.

Calm down. Very calm.

Amongst so many princes, the one that Qian Li hated the least.

Whenever he did something, he always had a sense of propriety.

"Second brother, are you going to cause trouble again?"

He vaguely remembered that other than the Emperor, the only person this random Third Prince feared the most was this Second Prince.

The two of them had a very good relationship in private. Second Prince was also very concerned about this little brother of hers.

Although he wasn't a compatriot, he was still a compatriot. However, the tacit understanding between the two was very good.

And it was only in front of Second Prince that the latter would hold back a lot.

As a result, seeing his good fortune being interrupted by his brother, Third Prince's face immediately turned ugly.

"You must have heard what this girl and Ninth Brother said just now. They are people who like each other. In that case, what do you intend to express by acting like this? "

"Second brother, am I not …"

"This King knows that you've gotten sick from old mistakes, but you also need to see who your target is. There's a proverb saying that friends and wives are not to be trifled with. These are your blood brothers."

Second Prince's face was indeed very dignified. Gong Ming bowed, "Royal Brother."

Gong Qu waved his hand, signalling that there was no need to be overly courteous.

"Royal Brother... Second brother, "Gong Jue said as he became spoiled and even winked at Gong Qu. That pair of peach blossom eyes, really made it hard for people to accept.

However, Gong Qu seemed to have already gotten used to it.

Ye Zichen directly reached out his hand to push him down. Gong Jue was helpless, he could only continue, "Royal Brother, please don't worry about this matter with me, okay?"

"When your Mother Consort was not here, she had asked this duke to look after you for the rest of her life.

"After hearing that, Gong Jue was immediately stumped. Why are you always like this? Is it interesting to keep on using the words of the Mother Consort to scare me? "

"How boring." Gong Qu answered seriously, "If you knew it was boring, why did you keep doing this?"

All right.

It was only then that Qian Li knew what it meant by a tall demon was ten feet high.

So this was how things worked.

However, this was not the best time to watch the show.

Qian Li bowed to Gong Qu, "Then, if there's nothing else, we'll be leaving first." Finally. Without waiting for anyone to speak, Qian Li supported Gong Ming and explained, "Our Prince is sick and weak, he can't even walk as fast as the two princes, so we have to go first."

"No …" He waved his hand at Qian Li, and was extremely polite, "If you dare to act rashly, this prince will apologize to Miss on behalf of my third brother."

This kind of person really made people unable to hate him.

Qian Li smiled, "It's fine. Thank you, Second Prince. "

With that, he supported Gong Ming and left.

Gong Jue looked at the two of them as they left, powerless to help him, and his expression was extremely unhappy.

"Alright, he's already such a big person, why is he still acting like a child?"

Gong Qu expressed an incomparably wronged expression, "Isn't it because Royal Brother helped others to bully me? "Tell me honestly, am I not the most important person in your heart?"

Towards this kind of accusation, Gong Qu expressed that he was helpless, but he knew clearly that if he did not listen to this brat's words, that stubborn temper of his might not be able to accomplish anything this time.

Thus, he could only console her, "You are my most important person, this is something that you do not need to suspect. This fact will not change no matter what."

Hearing that, Gong Jue was satisfied, but there were still grievances, "Royal Brother turned a blind eye to everything that has happened to me, I did not even do anything today, how did you appear?"

"I don't care if you mess around normally, but you have to be a different person."

Gong Jue did not understand, "What's that? I've really seen her before, and I think this girl is really special. "

"Special?"

"That's right, Royal Brother, did you really not notice? She spoke and did things differently from other girls. He also said it just now, although she's just a country girl, Royal Brother, can you really see the country aura from her? Her every word and action, every frown and smile, all seemed to have a sense of propriety. Moreover, of all the women I've met in my life, he's the second one who wasn't stunned by my beauty. "

"So what? You're not allowed to get close to her."

Gong Qu naturally knew who the first one was, but he didn't know why, but Qian Li's performance just now really resembled the passed away Empress Murong Yan.

The nobility exuded by every movement and gesture must not be something that could be raised in a day and a night.

"Why is that?" Thinking that such a beautiful girl was right in front of him yet he couldn't get a single relationship with her, Gong Jue suddenly felt bad.

"Firstly, she said that she likes Ninth Prince." Hearing this, Gong Jue curled his lips, "How could a person like Ninth Brother be worthy of such a lady? Furthermore, even though I have an amicable personality, there isn't a single wangfei in the palace which makes him different. As for the three of you, even if Qian Li really likes him, he also likes Qian Li a lot. In the end, he's still only a concubine, but I'm different.

Gong Qu frowned. The Emperor will not agree. "

"Even if the emperor doesn't agree, he would at most oppose the position of main wangfei. He definitely doesn't have anything to say about the Lateral Consort's words, no matter what, the side wangfei is still much better than a concubine, right?"

"Nonsense." Hearing this, the normally good-natured Second Prince was actually angered. He looked at Gong Jue, and his tone became tough, "Those things before were not important to you, but it would be best for you to end this matter here."

The two of them had never spoke in such a serious tone before, and Gong Qu was also never willing to speak to his brother like that, so at this moment, when they suddenly heard such words, both of them were stunned.

He wasn't very angry. After being shocked, he became even more doubtful.

Gong Jue opened his mouth, and his tone became a little more calm. "Second Brother, you have never lied to me like this, but why are you doing this?"
