The Prince Consort's Beloved

Li Yuanrou took off the silk handkerchief from her face, opened her eyes, and straightened up slightly. She saw Ye Si behind Prince Yun holding two jars of wine with a depressed look on his face.

Prince Yun asked, as if he was talking to an old friend. His casual tone was familiar. "Green plum wine or red plum wine?"

Li Yuanrou loved to drink plum wine when she was a child. It tasted sour and sweet with a hint of wine.

Li Yuanrou looked at him twice, as if she was hesitating, and then as if she had made a decision, she lay back down.

She was still angry about Prince Yun breaking into the mansion and injuring people. Although it was Li Yuanqi who ordered Prince Yun to come, and although Prince Yun later sent Xiao Luobai out of the city safely, she was still unhappy. She felt that they were not the same kind of people, could not walk together, let alone drink together.

Seeing that Li Yuanrou didn't say anything, Prince Yun took a jar of wine directly from Ye Si's hand. He walked directly to the stone table and sat down. He placed the jar of wine on the stone table, reached out and pulled out the cork that sealed the wine, and the aroma of wine immediately wafted out.

Daya brought the wine utensils, and Prince Yun personally poured two glasses of wine, one placed opposite the empty table, and the other in his own hand.

Li Yuanrou secretly sniffed the aroma of the wine and swallowed involuntarily. He was torn between his conscience and his desires, and wondered if he might as well take a sip.

The main reason is that I haven't drunk this plum wine for a long time. If I just mentioned it, it wouldn't be a big deal, but now the wine is right in front of you, and its tempting aroma is luring you nakedly.

Li Yuanrou, who had little self-control, hesitated for a moment, then resolutely climbed up from the recliner with a calm expression.

She walked slowly to the opposite side of King Yun and sat down. She lowered her head to look at the wine glass on the table and smelled the tempting aroma of wine. It was a familiar yet unfamiliar smell.

Ever since she fell out with Prince Yun, she hasn't drunk this plum wine again. She didn't expect that after so many years, Prince Yun still remembered that she loved to drink this.

Li Yuanrou pretended to cough lightly and said awkwardly: "I just want to drink one glass. He doesn't allow me to drink."

Prince Yun frowned, as if he was displeased. His voice suddenly became deeper than usual: "You just listen to him and drink if you want. It's just drinking, not..."

He suddenly stopped talking.

Li Yuanrou's heart trembled, and a very distant scene emerged in her mind.

The little girl cried and said, "My elder sister said that children can't drink alcohol. How can I drink alcohol when I'm so young?"

Prince Yun smiled, his eyes full of pampering, and said confidently: "Why not? It's just drinking, not asking for the stars in the sky."

"What if I want the stars in the sky?"

"Then the emperor uncle will try his best to pick it for Rou'er..."

…………

Li Yuanrou raised her head slightly to look at him, and saw that Prince Yun was also in a daze, obviously recalling the past. Then his dazed expression suddenly faded.

He raised his hand and drank the wine in the glass.

Li Yuanrou secretly observed him. His face was covered with a dusty haze, as if he had endless worries hidden inside, and there was a hint of cold sadness in his eyes.

Li Yuanrou silently raised the wine glass, took a sip of plum wine, and whispered: "I am not a good drinker. I tend to go crazy after drinking."

A deep and deep voice floated over from the other side: "Father is here, you can go crazy as much as you want."

Although it was a sentence full of doting and indulgence, Li Yuanrou found it very harsh.

In the past, Prince Yun called himself "Imperial Uncle" in front of her. Since when did he start calling himself "Father"?

Li Yuanrou felt a little angry. Every time Prince Yun called himself "Father" in front of her, it seemed as if he was reminding her that she was his daughter.

Now that she is facing King Yun, she feels more and more like she is facing Laozi.

She doesn't accept this situation!

She suddenly spoke up, with a hint of anger in her voice: "Don't call yourself father in front of me!"

After she finished speaking, she picked up the wine in front of her and drank it all, then put the glass heavily on the table to express her dissatisfaction.

Ye Si, who was beside King Yun, sneered disdainfully.

Prince Yun remained silent and drank his wine. His face was calm, as if he didn't care about Li Yuanrou's scolding, but he kept pouring glass of wine into his mouth.

Li Yuanrou also began to drink without saying a word. The atmosphere became a little subtle for a moment. The two of them drank separately, each carrying something on their mind that they could not confide to the other.

After drinking two jars of wine, Li Yuanrou's face was slightly flushed. In fact, she didn't drink much, as Prince Yun drank it all.

Li Yuanrou was not enjoying her drink, so she started to chase him away: "You have finished your drink, you can leave now."

Ye Si next to him sneered sarcastically.

Li Yuanrou glanced at Ye Si unhappily, not intending to argue with him. She said to King Yun, "Don't come here if you have nothing to do in the future."

Ye Si continued to sneer with disdain and whispered, "No conscience."

Li Yuanrou took a deep breath, as if suppressing the anger in her heart.

She took another deep breath, and suddenly she smashed the wine glass to the ground in anger. Her red almond eyes glared at Ye Si, and she said angrily, "I have tolerated you for a long time!"

Ye Si stiffened her neck as if she could no longer endure it, and replied with gritted teeth: "I have tolerated you for a long time. Not only do you have no heart, you also have no brains. You only rely on your status as a princess to bully others. Don't you think about who gave you the confidence to boss people around..."

Li Yuanrou refuted loudly and confidently: "My father gave it to me!"

Ye Si laughed as if he heard a joke: "Your father? Where is he? Has he ever been with you? Does he know what kind of food and wine you like to eat and drink?"

Li Yuanrou suddenly choked.

Ye Si was very excited, his face flushed and he kept talking: "Have you ever thought about why you were never retaliated against when you had a fight with a noble family when you were young? It was our prince who settled everything for you. How do you think Zhang Ding died? Why did the eldest princess's training of private soldiers get discovered by the young emperor, but you were able to hide it from others..."

Prince Yun's glares daggered at Ye Si, but Ye Si ignored them and continued to chatter: "And your rich fiefdom Shanyang City, do you really think it was given to you by the late emperor? It was obtained by our prince with great effort for you. The eldest princess' fiefdom Huiyang City was all thanks to our prince, and your mother..."

Prince Yun shouted angrily, "Ye Si!"

Ye Si closed his mouth unwillingly. He glared at Li Yuanrou and lowered his head reluctantly.

Li Yuanrou was already shocked beyond words, she had never thought about these things before, even when she was with Xiao Luobai, she hardly thought about King Yun. If it weren't for the recent memories of herself and King Yun popping up from time to time, she would have almost forgotten that she and King Yun had spent several years getting along well together in her childhood.

She looked at King Yun in surprise. King Yun looked at her with a complicated expression, then stood up and walked out of the green plum garden.

Prince Yun took a few steps, then suddenly stopped and turned back.

He stopped in front of Li Yuanrou, took out a stack of banknotes from his arms and handed them to Li Yuanrou, with a hint of gentle kindness in his deep and rich voice: "If it's not enough, ask father for it."
