Chapter Ninety-Six: A Problem Through the Ages
Jiang Liuli returned to Yishui Pavilion, just in time for dinner, she ignored the eyes of Mingyue and Mingxia, and used dinner silently.
"What's going on? Is the news I gave you sure is fake? Lou Qingyang on the side didn't plan to let her go, seeing her with a cold face, he asked with a smile.
Jiang Liuli glanced at him, then lowered her head and continued to eat, completely treating him as air, now her mind was very messed up, and she didn't want to talk at all.
"Hey, that's how you treat your guests?" Lou Qingyang looked at her dissatisfied, and dared to ignore him, which made him very unhappy.
"You forced it to stay." She said coldly, all her friends and sisters lived in Yishui Pavilion, and there was only such an uninvited guest, or a guest who couldn't get rid of her.
"It seems that you already know the results of the news I gave you, and you want to drive me away?" Lou Qingyang smiled coldly, although it was true that he insisted on living in Yishui Pavilion, but when he heard her say this, he was still very angry in his heart.
"Lou Qingyang, what do you want to do?" Jiang Liuli put down her chopsticks and looked at him coldly, she didn't want to play any tricks, it was better to make it clear at one time, she was too lazy to use her brain, she didn't want to guess anymore, and she didn't want to be on guard.
"I don't want to do anything, I just like it." Lou Qingyang said calmly.
Jiang Liuli sneered, Yishui Pavilion doesn't have a beautiful view, what does he like? Could it be the many beauties here? He stayed in the gentle country and didn't want to come out? No, that's not his style.
"Lou Qingyang, I'm lazy and don't like to use my brains, so if I want to avenge your master, let's just start fighting, don't play any conspiracy for me." She said bluntly.
"What conspiracy can I have? I just think that the girls here are both beautiful and talented, and I like them very much, so I don't want to leave. Lou Qingyang sighed helplessly.
She looked at him, and saw that there was no flaw in his face, so she could only give up the temptation, he was too treacherous, and she was very frustrated.
Seeing his harmless appearance, he instantly lost his appetite, stood up with a gloomy face, and planned to go back to the room, but she couldn't eat a mouthful of food now.
"That's all? Eat some more. Lou Qingyang saw that she hadn't finished a bowl of rice, frowned, and then looked at her with a concerned face, if she didn't understand him, she would naturally think that he really cared about herself, but his little trick was not enough in front of him.
"Mingyue, from now on, I will eat in my room." She said coldly, without even looking at him, and left the dining room directly.
Lou Qingyang saw that she was talking so ruthlessly, her face suddenly became gloomy, and Yu Caiwei on the side was trembling with fright, carefully put down the dishes and chopsticks in her hand, and planned to leave the dining hall that suddenly became a little chilly.
"What? You won't dine with me? Am I that scary? Lou Qingyang looked at Yu Caiwei with a smile, but that smile scared her even more.
"No, it's not scary." She hurriedly shook her head, fearing that she would be innocently implicated and vent her anger on her.
"Then dine with me." Seeing her answer like this, he smiled happily, completely ignoring her nervous and frightened expression.
Yu Caiwei hurriedly picked up the dishes and chopsticks and stuffed them into his mouth like chewing wax, afraid that his actions would make him annoyed again.
After Jiang Liuli returned to the room, he looked out the window blankly, it was getting late now, it was dark outside the window, the evening breeze was blowing on his face with a hint of coolness, now the weather is getting hotter and hotter, people who are hot at noon don't want to go out at all, and it will be much cooler at night.
At this time, she began to miss the life in the Liuli Palace, the summer in the valley was like spring, and it was not hot at all, and here, before the hottest time, she already felt a little unbearable.
Coupled with this complicated clothing, even in summer, it has to be three layers inside and three layers outside, although she didn't wear so much, but at least she also wore three pieces of clothing, the summer is hot, and she wears multiple layers, it must be hot to death, she really wants to go back to the glass palace at this moment to escape the heat.
Although she had such thoughts, she wouldn't do it, and with the news of Yue Liuli just now, she wouldn't leave so easily.
Before coming back, she had already gone to the shops of Liuli Palace, and asked them to send someone to Wu Yueguo to secretly look for Yue Liuli, whether she was still in Wu Yueguo or not, she couldn't miss this clue.
Things have been properly arranged, but her heart is still irritable, thinking of Xing Tianqi's persistence, she feels a headache, she can be ruthless to people she doesn't like, but he has not done anything wrong, and he has been with him for so long, he has regarded him as a friend, and he can't hurt him at all.
Unconsciously, she didn't even know that she had become less ruthless, and even the smile on her face was much more than before, so many changes, she didn't know it.
She knew that Xing Tianqi would not give up so easily, but she didn't expect that he would come so quickly, and at noon the next day, he didn't even have lunch and came over.
Jiang Liuli looked at Xing Tianqi sitting in the hall with a headache, Xing Tianrui didn't follow this time, as for An Fenghai, he must be secretly protecting him in other places.
"Are you, the emperor, so idle every day?" She sat on the main seat, looked at him coldly, saw a box in his hand, looked carefully, it turned out to be the peach blossom hairpin box he gave him yesterday, did he bring it to continue to give it to himself? The thought of this made her head hurt even more.
"It's busy, but I want to see you, so I'll come and see you." He looked at her gently, and since he showed his heart, he no longer even hid the affection in his eyes.
"Xing Tianqi, I said, I won't accept you, don't waste time on me." Although these words may be a little cruel to him, she still has to make it clear that since she doesn't intend to accept him, then don't give him any hope, otherwise it will only hurt him more.
"Ruri, do you know what sets you apart from everyone else?" Xing Tianqi was hurt by her words, the pain in his eyes flashed, and then he continued to look at her with a smile.
"I'm crueler than they are." She thought for a while and said, she has killed countless people, it should be different from others, right? No, there are more cruel people in this world than her, especially those sinister villains, who have no other ability than to hurt people behind their backs.
"No, the difference between you and them is that you know that I am the emperor, but you still treat me like an ordinary person, which is not something that everyone can do, and you will not compliment me, nor will you give three points, you are you, no matter what my identity is, even if I do something wrong, I will be punished, this is the difference between you and them, and it is also the most attractive to me." He looked at her with a gentle expression, her difference was too special, so that he would keep his eyes on her again and again.
With her, he felt that he was not an emperor above ten thousand people under one person, but an ordinary person, who did not need to be suspicious or distressed about tidying up the country.
Jiang Liuli looked at him stunned, what he said seemed to be very reasonable, although she knew that he was the emperor, but she would always forget, maybe it was the gentle aura exuded by him that would ignore his identity, after all, in front of her, in addition to nobility, there was no trace of majesty on his body at all.
However, when I entered the palace with him yesterday, I found that he was indeed a dignified person, but he was deliberately hidden by his side all the time.
As an emperor, it would be a lie to say that he was not moved by so much for her, especially for people like her who lack love and want to get such emotions.
"If I fell into the river at the same time as your mother, who would you save first?" For some reason, such a question suddenly appeared in her mind, and then she said it without thinking, and she was stunned after saying it.
"No one else can help, only you." Now that the words have been spoken, let's listen to his answer, this is a question for the ages, and she wants to know the answer.
Xing Tianqi looked at her with a calm face in a daze, she didn't expect her to suddenly ask such a question, and her smart brain paused rarely.
"I'll get you all out at the same time." After reacting, he quickly said the answer, he is still very confident in his skills, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to rescue two people at the same time, but she and the Queen Mother are both very thin, and the two of them together are not two hundred pounds, as long as there is a boat next to him, and he rescues two people at the same time, he is still very confident.
Jiang Liuli didn't expect him to say the answer so quickly, she was stunned, and when she reacted, she smiled silently, although his answer was very good, but she knew that this was not the answer she wanted, and as for what kind of answer she wanted, she didn't know herself.
"What? Could it be that my answer is incorrect? Xing Tianqi frowned, a little apprehensive in his heart, if he couldn't meet her requirements, would he have no chance?
"That's not the answer I wanted." She shook her head and said that the answer wasn't actually wrong, but it was certain that she didn't want it.
"And what kind of answer do you want?" Xing Tianqi is so smart, she naturally heard the meaning of her words, and understood a little more that there is more than one answer to this question, and the answer she said is exactly what she doesn't like.
"I don't know." She shook her head in a trance, and suddenly thought of what happened when she was a child, when she was ten years old, her mother also asked a man such a question, and the person's answer was also very good, but unfortunately, her mother did not accept him, because the answer he said was not what she wanted, but more maybe that person was not what she loved, so no matter what the answer, she would not be satisfied, and at this time, she may also think like this.
Xing Tianqi was very dissatisfied with her answer, but she didn't know what to say, so she could only frown and look at her as her thoughts drifted somewhere.
"Xing Tianqi, don't you love Qin Siyi?" She suddenly thought of the gentle and dignified woman, she obviously loved him, but she hid it deep in her heart, not letting him know, she was a smart woman, and she knew that the emperor could not have love, so she accepted the undue thoughts early, and did what the queen should do.
"She's my queen, and I respect her." He didn't expect her to suddenly mention Qin Siyi, and he was stunned before answering her question.
"Is there only respect?" She smiled coldly, are emperors like this, even if they don't love those women, they still trap them in a golden wire cage for the sake of the royal family.
Xing Tianqi didn't know what she said wrong, which made her suddenly change her face, thinking of her harem, and remembering what she said yesterday, which was completely contrary to her life and a couple, could this be the reason why she was angry?
