Ah.

Ji Zhen took two steps outside and did not greet Li Yuanying. Instead, she looked at the closed door of the Zhao Mansion next door.

Obviously, this door was not opened last night, or perhaps, more than last night.

How does it feel to see the man who claims to marry you get off someone else's carriage early in the morning? Ji Zhen is experiencing this.

I feel a little irritable and my hands are a little itchy.

In order to prevent herself from beating anyone on her good day, Ji Zhen put her hands behind her back and slowly walked towards Zhao Youqing and Li Yuanying.

Zhao Youqing was wearing a bamboo green long gown with a front opening, silver-lined edges and full embroidery of bamboo leaves. It was something Ji Zhen had never seen before. It was very nice, and made him look like a tall green bamboo in spring, fresh and handsome, with an outstanding demeanor.

Li Yuanying wore a light green palace dress with a large collar, her hair was covered with pearls and jade, and a golden phoenix-like jade hairpin revealed her noble status.

They are a good match.

Ji Zhen stood in front of the two of them, squinted his eyes and looked them up and down, then bowed to Li Yuanying according to etiquette.

"Your Highness Xian Yao."

The word "pride" was written everywhere in the corners of Li Yuanying's eyes and eyebrows. She had been staring at Ji Zhen from the moment she stepped out of the carriage with Zhao Youqing. She looked at the suppressed anger on her face with satisfaction and almost laughed out loud.

"Prince Qingyan is so polite. Please come in."

Li Yuanying raised her head slightly, pinching the dignity of a princess, and waved to the maid behind her. A gift list was then delivered to Wen Daoxing who was following behind Ji Zhen.

"please."

Ji Zhen spread her sleeves lightly, stepped aside, and invited Li Yuanying into the house. From beginning to end, she didn't even glance at Zhao Youqing.

Zhao Youqing also did not say anything. Although he was on the guest list and accepted the invitation, he appeared as Li Yuanying's subordinate, which made Wen Daoxing stunned for a moment, not knowing how to arrange it. He walked to Ji Zhen and asked in a low voice:

"Your Highness, how should we arrange for the guest minister?"

Li Yuanying stood beside Ji Zhen and never left, as if waiting for someone to ask this question. Without waiting for Ji Zhen to speak, she covered her mouth with a fan in her hand and smiled, glancing at Zhao Youqing and said:

"You Qing came with me, so naturally he should sit at the same table with me."

"You Qing? That's a very intimate way to call her.

Ji Zhen twisted her restless fingers, licked her canine teeth, and squinted her eyes to glance at Zhao Youqing. But she saw that he was still standing there with his eyes downcast, as he was outside the door, without saying a word.

"Xian Yao." Ji Zhen said calmly: "Although Zhao Youqing is a guest official in your princess's mansion, only the legitimate husband can sit at the same table with his wife at the banquet in my mansion this time. When did you marry the guest official in your mansion as your legitimate husband? How come I didn't know?"

Li Yuanying was stunned by Ji Zhen's words and was at a loss for words. She was also surprised at how calm Ji Zhen was.

Obviously, her people had already discovered that Ji Zhen and Zhao Youqing seemed to have an affair, so she specially left Zhao Youqing at the princess's mansion overnight. She came here today just to hurt Ji Zhen's heart, but why is she so calm? He couldn't help but approach her, winked at her, and said:

"Why are you pretending to be a gentleman? Didn't you see that Zhao Youqing came here with me? Don't you care what he did in my house?"

Ji Zhen didn't expect Li Yuanying to be so impatient. Before she could say anything, Li Yuanying couldn't help herself.

"Why should I care?" Ji Zhen asked back, "Publicly, Zhao Youqing is a guest official of your Princess Xian Yao's mansion. As an outsider, I have no intention of prying into the affairs of your mansion. Personally, Zhao Youqing and I are not bound by an engagement. It is not up to me to control who Mr. Zhao wants to be with. So, what does Xian Yao want me to care about? Ji Zhen does not understand, please enlighten me, Your Highness."

Ji Zhen changed her usual confrontational attitude with Li Yuanying and acted extremely humble and submissive, which made Li Yuanying involuntarily take a small step back, her heart beating for no reason.

What's going on? Was this arrogant Ji Zhen provoked by her and changed his personality? Was he out of his mind?

Li Yuanying was confused and couldn't figure it out.

At this time, a female official's announcement came from outside the door: "Her Highness the Princess has arrived."

Suddenly, Li Yuanying had an idea and thought of the twenty male favorites that Li Yuanzhen gave to Ji Zhen. She immediately understood why Ji Zhen was so indifferent to Zhao Youqing.

As a woman, who doesn’t like the new and dislike the old?

Li Yuanying's smile suddenly became obscene, and she lowered her voice and said to Ji Zhen:

"Okay, stop pretending. Why are you talking so much? Who doesn't know about the little things between you and Zhao Youqing? Is it public or private? You should save your temper! Isn't it just that you have a new lover and don't want Zhao Youqing anymore? There's nothing wrong with talking about it. I understand women."

Having said that, Li Yuanying took Ji Zhen two steps outside and stood in front of the hanging flower stand of the moon arch. She covered her mouth with a fan, raised her eyebrows and asked quietly:

"I say, how are those twenty male favorites that my sister gave you? I heard that some of them are from Xirong. They are different from the men in our South Vietnam. They are especially big and good at sex. Is that true?"

Ji Zhen almost vomited blood, took a deep breath, and squinted at Li Yuanying. He had the urge to pour out her brain, and really wanted to see if her brain, which was smaller than a walnut, was just yellow waste.

"I don't know. I've been busy these days and haven't paid attention to these things." Ji Zhen gritted his teeth.

Seeing that she hadn't touched those men yet, Li Yuanying looked at Ji Zhen with disdain and said:

"You are a military general, but you didn't eat any of the twenty grown men in front of you after so many days? Fortunately, I didn't give you the twenty male favorites that the Yan envoy sent me. Otherwise, if this matter were to spread to Yan, wouldn't it be a disgrace to us women of Nanyue?"

Is she bringing shame to the women of South Vietnam?

She was in the northwest, fighting for South Vietnam in the midst of swords and spears. Surrounded by tigers and wolves, she guarded the northwest gate of South Vietnam! She actually brought shame to the women of South Vietnam just because she didn't sleep with a male lover?

Gan!

Ji Zhen clenched his fists and began to think about how to beat Li Yuanying without making her scream too much.

At this moment, Ji Zhen's brain, which was almost angry to death, suddenly captured something extremely important.

Did the envoy from Yan State send a male lover to Li Yuanying?

Wouldn’t the Yan State’s envoys arrive in the capital in ten days?

Ji Zhen's brows suddenly frowned, and she glanced at Zhao Youqing, but she only saw his long black eyelashes like crow feathers on his lowered face.

Zhao Youqing, what exactly are you planning to do?

Ji Zhen withdrew his gaze without leaving a trace and sneered at Li Yuanying:

"You are good at using flowers to pay tribute to Buddha. You gave me the male concubine that the envoy of Yan State gave to you. I am afraid that only you, Princess Xian Yao, can do this in the whole world."

Li Yuanying chuckled upon hearing this, and said with a bit of pride in her relaxed brows:

"Fortunately I didn't give it to you. The men of Yan State are too fragile. Yesterday, I had sex with a man, but he didn't know what was good for me. He couldn't resist and tried to harm me. Fortunately, I saw that he was handsome and spared his life. If it was you who didn't know how to be gentle with women, I'm afraid you would have walked over the Naihe Bridge by now."

Ji Zhen's heart sank suddenly. Did someone try to assassinate Li Yuanying last night?
