After becoming a princess, she fell in love with the emperor of the enemy country

Qi Yan suddenly remembered that his mother seemed to be holding a box in her hand that day. Later, she was in a hurry to leave and did not have time to see what was in the box.

Qi Yan decided to ask, "Excuse me, Mother Li, what is this thing?"

Concubine Li took a sip of tea and said, "Secret," which means I won't tell you.

Qi Yan looked embarrassed and stopped talking, but she didn't leave either.

After a while, Concubine Li asked, "How old is the princess?"

Qi Yan smiled and said, "Yan'er is seventeen years old now." In fact, she is almost eighteen. Two months after Emperor Qi's birthday, it will be Qi Yan's eighteenth birthday.

Concubine Li nodded, and seemed to be talking to herself, "It's so big now."

Qi Yan's expression froze, she pursed her lips and said nothing.

Concubine Li seemed to be in a good mood, "Do you have a crush on someone? Has Concubine Ning proposed to you?"

Qi Yan suppressed her anger and said, "Yan'er has not yet married, and mother didn't arrange it when she was alive."

So what if he has a crush on someone? As long as the woman is not satisfied with his family background, she will not agree.

But now that she is dead, Qi Yan can be with whoever she wants.

Concubine Li was shocked. "When I was your age, I was already a concubine in the palace."

Then he looked at Concubine Rou again, "What were you doing when you were seventeen?"

Concubine Rou glanced at her and said calmly, "Same as you."

Concubine Li sighed, "It's been six years since I entered the palace."

Yes, Concubine Li entered the palace at the age of sixteen. She is twenty-two years old now, and it has been six years now. Concubine Rou was originally a palace maid.

No matter how dumb Qi Yan was, she could sense the sarcasm in Concubine Li's words. Was she mocking her that no one wanted her?

Even Qi Yan, who is so patient, couldn't help but look cold, but she quickly adjusted herself, "What Mother Li said is true, it's just that Yan'er was reluctant to leave Mother in the early years. Now that Mother has just passed away, it's not convenient for Yan'er to talk about marriage."

Concubine Li nodded, as if she didn't care.

Qi Yan breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that Concubine Li would continue asking questions, and she really couldn't help but lose her temper.

It was almost time for dinner, but Qi Yan showed no intention of leaving.

Little did she know that Qi Yan had been waiting for Concubine Li to leave, as she had something to say to Concubine Rou alone.

Even if she was slow to react, she still realized that during the several times she came, Concubine Rou did not speak, it was Concubine Li who spoke.

If she expressed her request in front of Concubine Li, Concubine Li would probably start mocking her before Concubine Rou could even say anything.

Concubine Li couldn't help it anymore, "Princess, is there anything else?" She was almost starving to death, why didn't Qi Yan leave?

Qi Yan smiled and said, "Yan'er has something to say to Mother Rou, but Mother Li is here... Yan'er is not convenient to say it."

Concubine Li's eyebrows were raised, she was furious. What did she mean by this? Was she going to drive her away? Concubine Rou hadn't said anything yet, who was she?

Seeing that Concubine Li was about to get angry, Concubine Rou cleared her throat and said, "Well, it's almost time for dinner, and I'm hungry too. Since both of you are here, why don't you stay and have a simple meal?"

They were arguing for more than an hour, and she felt hungry.

Concubine Li wanted to stop Concubine Rou, but received a look of peace from the latter. Helplessly, Concubine Li could only shut up.

Qi Yan wasn't very satisfied either. She wanted to stay for dinner, but she wanted to eat alone with Concubine Rou. How could she say anything with Concubine Li around?

"By the way," Concubine Rou finally spoke to Qi Yan, "Will the princess go to Baohua Palace tomorrow?"

Qi Yan smiled and said, "If the two mothers want to go, Yan'er will go with you."

The reason was simple: Qi Yan wanted to see what they both had in their hands.

Concubine Li raised her eyebrows and smiled, "This princess hasn't gone to see the imperial concubine for so many days. It turns out that she was waiting for me and my sister."

The smile on Qi Yan's face turned pale and red, all because of anger.

I have to say that Concubine Li knows how to embarrass Qi Yan.

Does this mean she is ungrateful?

As soon as the three of them sat down at the table, Concubine Li ate as much as she could as usual, without reducing her appetite at all because of Qi Yan.

It was a rare occasion that Zui Xiang didn't cause trouble for her, so of course Concubine Li had a good meal.

When Concubine Li asked Zuixiang to serve her the third bowl of rice, Zuixiang couldn't help but roll her eyes secretly.

Eat, eat, eat. All you do is eat. Were you a starving ghost in your previous life?

Qi Yan chewed slowly and couldn't help showing contempt when she saw Concubine Li eating so much.

But at this moment, Concubine Li suddenly turned her head to look at her, and Qi Yan didn't have time to retract the expression on her face, and Concubine Li saw it all.

"What are you looking at?" Concubine Li asked angrily.

Qi Yan was obviously frightened. She didn't expect that she would be caught by Concubine Li. She shook her head quickly and said, "No, Concubine Li must have seen it wrong."

Concubine Li was relentless, "I am not old, and I am not blind yet."

Qi Yan looked at Concubine Rou timidly, her eyes tearful and pitiful, "Mother Rou, I don't know how Yan'er offended Mother Li. Please help Yan'er."

Now that she has angered Concubine Li, it's obvious that Concubine Li is someone who won't let her go easily.

But Concubine Rou is different. She pretends to be pitiful. Concubine Rou will not ignore the matter. She takes the opportunity to sow discord between the two of them. It would be best if Concubine Rou could drive Concubine Li away, so that Concubine Li will not get in her way.

Concubine Li looked at her with disdain. What can I say? Qi Yan is still pretending to be pitiful at this age. It's a bit disgusting.

Obviously, Concubine Rou thought the same thing. She frowned and looked at Qi Yan, "Princess, I saw it just now, too."

Qi Yan was stunned on the spot, not knowing how to react for a moment. She was distracted for a moment and couldn't help but show that expression. How come Concubine Rou also saw it?

What Qi Yan didn't know was that it was Concubine Rou who noticed her expression first. It was only after she winked at Concubine Li that Concubine Li noticed it.

Concubine Li sneered, "I just like to eat, so what? I was born with a natural tendency to never gain weight."

Concubine Rou held her forehead with her hand. Zuixiang said that Concubine Li had gained weight a few days ago.

As she spoke, Concubine Li glanced at Qi Yan, "Unlike some people, my dear mother just left, and I look a lot rounder."

Qi Yan's face turned green, and she gritted her teeth and retorted, "Mother Li must have seen it wrong. Yan'er has lost her appetite these past few days, and her waist has become much thinner."

As she spoke, she glanced around, "Although Yan'er was not familiar with Mother Li before, Yan'er remembers that Mother Li is indeed rounder than before."

Concubine Li didn't care about Qi Yan's provocation. Zui Xiang had always said that she was fat.

If it were in the past, she might have lost weight for the favor of His Majesty, but now she eats whatever she wants, who cares whether she is fat or not?

Concubine Rou looked at Qi Yan, who was sneering, and said nonchalantly, "If the princess is full, please leave first."

Qi Yan's eyes widened. She didn't expect Concubine Rou to suddenly drive her away.

"Yan'er knows her mistake, and begs mother Rou to calm down," Qi Yan quickly stood up and apologized.

Concubine Li sneered, "Oh, calm down? You just said this palace, so shouldn't I be the one who should say calm down?"
