C154 Attitude reversal

"Heh." Suddenly, a sneer broke out from the seat of honor. This sound really made those who weren't anxious to the point that they started to panic.

"Your Majesty, you …"

No one had ever seen the Emperor in such a state. Thus, at this moment, it was impossible to not be shocked. However, his reaction made people feel even more afraid.

He sneered. It wasn't a good word to begin with, and most of the things that came along with this word weren't good things either.

As expected, Gong Ye seemed to have finally made a decision, and said, "Since this matter is a misunderstanding, then we have nothing else to investigate. But, Third Brother, Ninth Brother, I believe you all have heard what Qian Li said just now.

They didn't understand what the emperor's intentions were, but Gong Ming and Gong Jue still didn't dare interrupt him. Instead, they kneeled on the ground and respectfully listened to the emperor's words.

"Since both of you like her because of her kindness, then it's clear that her identity is not on good terms with you. Furthermore …" "Having no emotional foundation yet insisting on being together doesn't mean that you'll be happy in the future. You are both my younger brothers, and I don't want you two to have a bad life, so …"

"Qian Li will listen to the order."

His intuition told him that Gong Ye would not marry Gong Ming, but this was also what Qian Li was looking forward to the most right now.

But before she did not understand Gong Ming's true purpose, Qian Li did not dare show it. She still remained indifferent and knelt on the ground, as if the emperor's decree was nothing to her.

What Qian Li did not know was that this calmness she had forcefully disguised was actually appreciated by Gong Ye a little.

He said, "Qian Li performed well during the hunt, and had even saved His Highness Third Prince many times. Although she is a commoner, her contributions cannot be erased because of this, so we have decided …" Saying this. Gong Ye's eyes flashed, a thought flitted past her mind, at the moment, he did not use the Imperial Decree as his speech, and was extremely casual, but … His following words still did not make Qian Li understand, "Qian Li, from now on, you are my sworn sister. The imperial court does not have any princesses right now, so you are the only one."

he said. " "Not only me, but you also need to call the others here 'big brother'. From now on, we are family, and you can come to the palace at any time. Also, if Ninth Brother feels that your etiquette is too bad, I will send someone to specially teach you."

"Your majesty."

Gong Jue and Gong Ming spoke out at the same time, but since things had already come to this point, there was no longer any room for negotiation.

Gong Ming was still okay, he was just weakly kneeling at the side, but Gong Jue's reaction was extremely obvious.

Princess.

How could this be?

He really regretted it now. He even felt that if he hadn't said these words to the emperor so impulsively, wouldn't the result have been different?

Princess, even if it was a princess, was still fine.

Was the emperor clearly planning to completely cut off Qian Li's relationship with him?

"What, you're not satisfied with my reward?"

He ignored the two's shouts. Gong Ye only looked at Qian Li, "No."

Qian Li did not refute him, "This humble woman is extremely grateful for the emperor's bestowment, but Qian Li has always been lazy and unsuitable for this kind of status. Not to mention that Qian Li is unable to learn the etiquette of the palace, Qian Li even finds those complicated clothes troublesome, so I hope the emperor can retract the order.

"I am a man of my words. The words I said were like spilled water. How can I take them back so easily?" However, money and treasures naturally cannot be lacking in you. As long as you become a princess, how can these rewards be lacking? "

"But …"

Qian Li had originally wanted to reject her offer, but after some thought, if she really became a princess in the future, there would be even more opportunities to get close to Gong Ye. Furthermore, if she remembered correctly, Gong Ye had just said that they would be family in the future.

She said, "Since the emperor has already said so, Qian Li will naturally not reject him. I just do not know if what the emperor said just now is true?"

"Which sentence?"

"That is, if I can enter the palace at any time in the future?"

The gloomy mood seemed to have been swept away. He said, "Didn't you say before that you didn't like places like the palace? What, you like it again in the blink of an eye? "

Qian Li also answered honestly, "Whether you like it or not, it's still too early to come to a conclusion. However, when Qian Li was young, she had heard that the Imperial Palace had the most flowers in the world, and it's even so huge. If you don't take a good look at it, how are you going to survive when you go out in the future?"

"If you enter the palace often, you'll have to learn the palace rules."

Qian Li frowned, as though she was truly thinking hard. After thinking for a long time, she said, "Qian Li's talent is dull, I still do not know if she can learn it."

Hearing that, Gong Ye knew that she agreed.

He didn't know why, but he felt a little happy when he thought about how he might see Qian Li more often in the future.

So he continued, "There are many people in the palace. From the emperor to the imperial concubines to the maids and eunuchs, you have to recognize all of these things before you can walk around freely in the palace, right? "How about it, do you agree to this condition?"

"Although Qian Li is a rude person, she still understands such a simple principle. In order to avoid accidentally encountering the emperor and the various emperors, Qian Li must learn this point."

"Alright, that's settled then."

It was unknown from which sentence, but the conversation between the two of them started to go smoothly. There was no confrontation at the beginning, and even the atmosphere seemed to have improved quite a bit.

She looked at Qian Li, "As a princess, you can't not have your own palace. How about this, we will grant you a courtyard and name it the Princess Mansion, from now on, you have the Princess Mansion that is compatible with your identity."

"The Emperor has already given such a big reward to Qian Li, so how could Qian Li still want her majesty's courtyard. Qian Li feels that the place she is currently staying at is pretty good, and furthermore, Qian Li is already used to living in the Ninth Prince's house. Living alone is too lonely, and although Qian Li is eccentric, she doesn't like the feeling of being too lonely."

If she lived alone in one place with too many people following her, it would not be a convenient thing for her to contact Gong Ming or Li Mo in the future. Therefore, for her future plans, Qian Li thought that it would be better to continue living in the Duke Palaces.

"Okay then, anyway, finding a place is not something that can be done overnight. You can temporarily stay in Ninth Brother's residence. If you find a suitable place in the future, you can move out."

"Yes."

"Didn't you want to go to the palace to study etiquette? I'll find a palace there. When you come, you should have a place to rest."

Qian Li waved her hand, "No need …"

"As a princess, if you don't even have a palace of your own, what kind of words would that be?"

She didn't know why Gong Ye's attitude had only changed completely in an instant, but Qian Li was very clear on the principle of accompanying Jun Ruo and Hu. In order to not anger this person again, she chose to temporarily restrain herself.

It was better to have a palace, which would make it easier for her to look up cases from the past.

I was just saying that I don't need to.

"Since we are siblings, then Qian Li, your life's important matter is something that I am concerned about. I presume that you have seen quite a few young masters last time at the hunting grounds, do you think that is not bad?"

In Gong Ye's opinion, since it was already impossible for the two dukes, and Qian Li had clearly said that she didn't like her, then her husband should just let her choose then.
