The current Qian Li was not as cold as she was when she was outside. Because she had been roasting meat, her face was tainted with some black color, making her look very gracious and cute.

She blinked and squatted in front of him, raising the stick in her hand as she waited for him to pick her up.

Seeing her like this, he …

He completely forgot about what he had said before and how he refused to eat it.

Gong Jue felt that he had already lost the ability to think, as though if he could see the woman in front of him laughing, he would not hesitate to do anything.

He reached out to take it and gently nibbled a small piece. He was clearly very hungry, but it tasted very reserved.

Seeing him receive it, Qian Li seemed to be very happy.

He immediately turned around and started to eat.

Her actions were not considered slow chewing, but it was absolutely graceful and pleasing to the eye.

Gong Jue heard that his heartbeat seemed to have sped up.

He couldn't help but clench his fist. So, this was the feeling of being moved.

Previously, the reason she pestered Qian Li like that was because she felt that this girl was a little special. After attracting her attention, she no longer regarded him as her own.

When he saw her again, looking at her strange face, she even thought that it was a trick she wanted to take, but now he really knew. Qian Li didn't have that kind of thought, the previous encounter was really just an accident …

Thinking of this, he felt somewhat regretful.

He had always thought of himself as an elegant and unrestrained person, but in Qian Li's eyes, perhaps he was not even comparable to that unknown Ninth Prince's little finger …

It was true that he would not be defeated, but he knew that a girl that he thought was good would not give up so easily.

If it was other people, then it would be fine, but Qian Li...

He was going to make it.

Furthermore, he swore that he would definitely not treat her like how he treated those girls previously. He would treat Qian Li carefully and seriously.

Because, she was worth it.

After thinking it through, he felt that everything he ate was very fragrant. Of course, he then lightly smiled and ate a lot of fast food.

Qian Li looked at Gong Jue and said happily. Yeah, all I have is snake meat, it's very delicious. You don't believe me, do you? Its smell is not any worse than the delicacies of the mountains and seas in the palace, right? "

Hearing that, Gong Jue suddenly woke up. He looked at the thing in his hand in puzzlement, and when he felt the thing he was chewing on, he suddenly realized.

Gong Jue swallowed all of it down while being watched by Qian Li. As for the others, no matter what, they would not eat any more.

Qian Li looked at him with a bit of amusement, "Of course, if not, what else did you think there would be?"

"But …"

"Before, I was the same as you, always feeling that I should live as I imagined, eat what I wanted, eat what I didn't want to eat, say what I didn't want to, say what I didn't want to say, everything was monitored by people at all times. I never dared to do anything crazy because I was worried that doing so would bring about some bad consequences …"

Gong Jue frowned, seeing how interested Qian Li was in speaking, he did not even dare to interrupt her. However, he found it hard to understand what she was saying, and could only ask, "Qian Li, didn't you say that you were a little beggar? Do beggars have to take such things into account? "

Qian Li came back to reality and almost threw the thing in her hand out. Fortunately, her brain worked quickly enough, "Of course, all living things in this world have their own laws of survival. Even beggars are not included in the list. "

"But if you are free to do what you want, who will it lead to? Could it be? Do you have any other siblings or family members? "

Qian Li almost choked to death on her own words. Her eyes quickly blinked a few times as she felt that her tone of voice had even changed a little. "Of course there were no brothers and sisters, but I was still young then and needed to join the Society of the Beggar, and there was a rule in it, for example, that everyone could only move about in one place or another, or that the things we beg for every day required more or less the people up there to have food of their own."

"If you guys have already handed it over, then what would you like to use?"

"Of course …" "Someone is in charge of buying these things. Hmm, how do I describe them to you …"

Speaking till here, Qian Li seemed to be thinking about how to describe it to him, but in truth, Qian Li was thinking about how to explain everything she said.

"It's just like …"

"Hmm?"

Just like how, if I ignore everyone and go wherever I want to, then the people who should be there will not beg, or the silver taels that were originally handed in will not reach the mark, and he will be punished, and I will also be like your imperial guards, each of you have your own place to take responsibility for, so if you are forcefully violated by others, you will also take countermeasures, no?

Gong Jue was surprised, "I never thought that a mere little beggar would be able to gain so much knowledge."

Before he could even finish his words, he was interrupted by Qian Li. She seemed to be extremely unwilling to talk about the things from the past.

"So, life like that is very insecure. After eating dinner, we will always have to worry about the next meal. We will all live a precarious life. Finally, one day, I met my prince."

Gong Jue knew that the "Prince" Qian Li was referring to was the Ninth Prince, Gong Ming.

"Is royal brother very good to you?"

Qian Li blinked her eyes. Her mind quickly spun, trying to think of a method to make this Third Prince feel touched and completely give up on him.

Indeed, in this world, she wasn't willing to make too much of a fuss over someone she could talk to.

If he could be a friend, it would be good to vent his feelings in front of him when he was usually frustrated.

So, after thinking about it for a moment, she replied, "Of course, although Prince looks very cold, doesn't like to talk, and certainly doesn't care about others, but he saved me from fire and water. He gave me food to eat, lived here, and spared me all my worries."

"Do you know that I once had a wish? My whole life, I have yearned to be collected, properly placed, carefully preserved, free from shock, pain, and exile for the rest of my life … In the past dozen years, I have always thought that without this person, I would never be able to wait for him, until … I met him. "

Hearing this, Gong Jue felt that something was wrong with his heart.

However, he, who had just decided to treat Qian Li nicely, couldn't act impatient at this moment.

Moreover, he really wanted to understand Qian Li now.

It didn't matter if it was her previous life, her feelings, her personality, or what she was thinking now.

"So, no matter what your royal brother did, can you … forgive him?"

For some reason, when Gong Jue said those words, Qian Li suddenly remembered the scene in the forest back then, as well as Gong Ming's expression back then …

But Qian Li quickly regained her senses, she took a bite of the meat in her hand, and suddenly felt it was not as delicious as before.

Actually, there were no feelings between her and Gong Ming, and the reason why she said all that, was just to make Gong Jue believe her.

Thus … The question that Gong Jue was asking, between his and Gong Jue, shouldn't have happened, right?

Right now, he was her mistress. As the saying goes, a monarch needs a subject's death, and this subject has no choice but to die, if one day Gong Ming really did something that sacrificed himself to protect himself, she wouldn't, and wouldn't have the power to blame him for that, right?

Thinking about it, Qian Li suddenly felt relieved.

She said, "Of course not, Your Highness gave Qian Li a second life, and Qian Li had long made a vow, in this life, no matter what Your Highness does to me, he will not betray him, so you can blame him. In short, as long as Your Highness wants Qian Li to do something, Qian Li will have no regrets."

Gong Jue pursed his lips, "Even if he wanted you to die, would you be willing?"

Qian Li nodded, then asked, "Does Third Prince know of the feeling of someone giving you a hand when you are on the verge of death? Can you understand the feeling of falling into the water and not getting out? Can someone throw you a piece of driftwood? Can you understand the feeling of suddenly seeing half a piece of steamed bun when you were starving to death? Even though that steamed bun is rancid, at that moment, it is something that can save lives. "
