Gu Qingli snorted. "Who told her to sound so annoying?"
The young girl gritted her teeth as she lowered her head to search her leg, but she couldn't find anything.
"If you randomly touch again, be careful that your leg is crippled." Gu Qing Li bent down, not even bothering to look at her hands. She only saw her slender fingers nimbly flying as she patted the girl's leg a few times. A few silver lights appeared between her fingers before disappearing in a flash.
The girl suddenly felt the numbness between her legs disappear as she jumped up. Without saying a word of thanks, she raised her overbearing face and fiercely glared at Gu Qing Li: "The quality of the people from Dongyuan City is really poor, they would even secretly shoot and injure people!"
Xiao Yixiu gripped Gu Qingli's arm and said indifferently, "Forget it, she's already suffered a lot from you."
"When did you become so tolerant? Is it because she's a beautiful woman? "
Xiao Yi Xiu shook his head. "Didn't you notice what she said?"
"Hmm?" Gu Qingli had only wanted to teach her a little lesson, but she hadn't paid attention.
"She said the quality of the people of Dongyuan is really bad."
"She's not from Dongyuan?" Only then did Gu Qingli come back to her senses. She carefully thought about it, the Princess of Western Paradise had just arrived at the capital. Could it be that …
"Is it possible that she is someone of Princess Lan Xun's side?"
Xiao Yi Xiu sighed softly. "I'm afraid that I have already offended the people of the Western Tribes without the princess' favorable impression of me."
The two of them no longer had the mood to wander around. They casually bought a gift and hurried towards the inn.
Before they even entered the door, they saw Xiao Yiyan come out with a red horse. His face was full of joy and sadness, and his pair of peach blossom eyes were filled with a desolate indifference. Gu Qingli felt his heart ache.
Could it be that the happy and affectionate youth would never come back? He thought of the variety of flowers that he had casually brought out as a gift to his Heavenly Yellow Stones. It was as if he was still learning from yesterday's incident.
In just half a year, he had changed a person so much.
"Have you seen the princess?" Xiao Yi Xiu walked up to him.
Xiao Yiyan raised his head and looked at them in surprise.
"Fifth brother and fifth sister have come as well." It was as if he couldn't find anything to say. After a while, he thought of something and said, "Oh, an agreement with the princess that I would go to the Western Sea to hunt tomorrow would require me to inform the Third and Sixth Imperial Brothers. I'll be leaving first."
"Wait a minute, Yan. Is there nothing else we can say? "
Xiao Yiyan met Xiao Yixiu's gaze and forced a smile. "Nope, Fifth Brother went in to meet the princess, it's only right for you to hold a welcoming reception for her." "Princess should go to the palace later to meet with her father and mother. There will be a feast in the palace at night, so I must hurry and inform …
"Since there's a feast at night, why bother to go over and notify everyone? The Sixth Prince's residence is far away as well. Since we're wasting four hours, why don't we talk about it during the feast at night?"
Xiao Yiyan had nothing to say as he lowered his eyes.
"Let's go see the princess together."
"I've just seen him …"
Gu Qingli handed over a purple sandalwood box and smiled faintly. "Your highness, this is a gift I have prepared for you. How can I come empty-handed to welcome the princess?"
Xiao Yiyan's expression froze for a moment before he received the wooden box and opened it. Inside was a branch of the Tender Butterfly Flower Steps, which caused his expression to become even more unsightly.
After a long while, he finally raised his head to look at Gu Qing Li. "Did the Fifth Emperor's sister-in-law choose him?"
"Yeah, you don't like it?"
"Having a love affair with a beautiful lady has a good meaning." Xiao Yiyan sneered, and slowly closed his eyes, "But there's still one more sentence, do you know of the Fifth Emperor's sister-in-law? Rong Huayan came to welcome you, unwillingly seeking to please you, is that really okay? "
Gu Qingli didn't expect him to speak in such a harsh tone. She stared blankly for a moment before sighing, "You're the one who's determined to get your marriage engagement with the West. Imperial Mother also hopes that you'll be the one to get the princess' hand in marriage …"
"So Fifth Sister thinks the same?" Xiao Yiyan closed the box with a clap, while a dark expression emerged on his handsome face.
Xiao Yi Xiu's tone rose a little. "Ah Yan! You've grown up, so don't be so willful. "
In the past, when he looked at Xiao Yiyan, his eyes were filled with a doting expression, but now they were even more solemn.
Xiao Yiyan suddenly handed the box over to Xiao Yixiu, and said indifferently and respectfully, "Since it's a gift personally chosen by the Fifth Emperor's sister-in-law, then leave it to Fifth Brother to welcome you. With fifth brother's character and looks, why would he worry about not winning the favor of the princess? At that time, Princess Orchid Xunxi will be the principal concubine. Wouldn't that mean that everyone would be overjoyed? "
Without looking back, he jumped on his horse and galloped it down the road without even giving them a chance to explain.
Gu Qingli stared at the back of Xiao Yiyan's back, dumbstruck. Then she forced a smile, "Did we do something wrong? "The person who wants to marry him and the princess is too impatient and doesn't respect his wishes at all …"
Xiao Yi Xiu's handsome face became serious and he took a deep breath, "No, he's the son of the imperial family. He doesn't know his identity. Actually, he has no way out. Even if he can avoid the marriage alliance with the West, he won't be able to avoid another marriage in the future. "
"Just like how I was betrothed to you?"
Xiao Yixiu looked at her silently.
"That's right. If it wasn't for me at that time, even if it was a cat or dog, as long as it was Gu Chaoran's daughter, you would have married his back then." Gu Qingli's tone had already started to sound bad.
"Yes." Xiao Yi Xiu's answer was clear and cold.
Gu Qingli's mood had also been ignited. Her face darkened as she was about to leave, but she was held back by him. She leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Even if I married that many, I only want you. I won't touch anyone else."
Gu Qingli's face was burning hot, and her heart was a little weak. However, her anger could not be completely dispelled as she harrumphed, "That's because of your obsession with cleanliness." If Princess Lan Xun really has taken a fancy to you and wants you to divorce me, I'm afraid that you will also follow the imperial orders. "
Xiao Yixiu smiled coquettishly and said softly, "Before, I could have agreed to anything without you. But now, with you, even if the sky is about to fall, I won't stop marrying and marrying."
"Hmph, liar."
"Do you not want me to love a beauty more?"
Xiaoyi Xiu held onto Gu Qing Li's waist as they both walked into the inn, heading towards the princess' residence.
Princess Orchon was standing in the middle of the hall, while there was actually a person seated in the upper seat of the hall. It seemed as if the two of them were talking.
There were two West Descending Palace maids guarding the door. They stopped them in their tracks without a trace of politeness and said: "Who are you, inform the princess before you decide whether or not you want to receive us."
The two of them looked at each other from far away. Xiao Yi Xiu looked at the two palace maids and scanned them back and forth. The royal family gave birth to an imposing aura. The clear and cold gaze caused them to involuntarily shiver.
"I am the fifth prince of Dongyuan City. King Mo, Xiao Yi Xiu, has come with an imperial concubine. Is this kind of report enough?"
No matter how noble of a status Princess Lan Xun had in the west, she was only an envoy when she came to the East Abyss. Since she could enter this place through a relay house, they should know that she was a noble of the East Abyss.
