The Prince Consort's Beloved

Li Yuanrou was still stunned by Ye Si's words just now. The shock on her face had not yet faded, but her hand instinctively took the banknote. The moment she was stunned, Prince Yun had already walked towards the entrance of Qingmei Garden.

She didn't even pay attention to the "father" that King Yun called himself. After she realized what was happening, she shouted at King Yun's back, "Hey, why are you giving me money? Don't think I will accept you just like that."

She raised her voice and shouted in a hypocritical tone: "This princess doesn't want your money."

She even wondered whether she should return the banknote to Prince Yun if he came back.

Seeing Prince Yun walk out of the Qingmei Garden without looking back, Li Yuanrou breathed a sigh of relief and stretched out her fingers to count them very naturally.

Having lived two lives, it seemed that her love of money had become a deep-rooted instinct. Perhaps it was because she was too poor during the more than ten years when she was sick and died, which led to the fact that no matter how sad she was, she would not go against money.

She was counting the banknotes in her hand, a long-lost sincere smile appeared on her face. She was delighted but at the same time she despised herself in her heart for being greedy for money. The scene of Xiao Luobai giving her money a long time ago automatically and uncontrollably emerged in her mind.

"God of Wealth, are you going to support me?"

"Is it enough? ...Call your husband to listen."

"Forget about calling me husband, I can even call you daddy! Money can make me call you daddy!"

"Anything else, Dad?"

...............

Thinking of this, the smile on Li Yuanrou's face faded a little.

Now it was her real father who gave her the money, but she couldn't even call him "Dad."

Daya stepped forward with a complicated expression: "Princess..."

Li Yuanrou raised her eyes to glance at Daya. Her expression was a little subtle and the movement of counting money in her hands slowed down.

As she counted, she said, "What's that expression on your face? Do you think I shouldn't take it? Why don't you want it if it's given to you for free? Only a fool would not want it. If you don't take advantage of a good deal, you're a fool."

After she finished speaking, her hands that were counting money suddenly stopped. "If you don't take advantage of a good deal, you're a fool." She had once said this to Xiao Luobai.

Li Yuanrou pursed her lips and stopped talking. She found that whenever she spoke, she could always think of Xiao Luobai more or less. She felt a little depressed when she thought of Xiao Luobai.

In fact, even if she didn't speak, she would think of Xiao Luobai. Xiao Luobai was like the invisible wind, omnipresent and penetrating every pore.

She looked at the banknotes in her hand and thought of what Prince Yun had just said, "If it's not enough, ask father for more." She suddenly felt uncomfortable.

Xiao Luobai also liked to give her money, and every time he would ask, "Is it enough? If not, you must tell me, okay?"

Li Yuanrou stopped counting the money. She suddenly felt that the light silver bills in her hand weighed a thousand pounds. The words "father's love is like a mountain" popped up in her mind unconsciously.

She looked depressed and walked into the house holding a thick stack of banknotes.

Perhaps because of the wine she drank, Li Yuanrou slept well all night.

The next day, Ye Si brought two more jars of plum wine. He said to Li Yuanrou, "Your father gave it to you."

Li Yuanrou angrily chased him out of the Green Plum Garden, asking as she chased him: "Whose father are you? Why are you cursing at me?"

Ye Si felt that Li Yuanrou deliberately misinterpreted the meaning of his words in order to cause trouble, but later he thought that with Li Yuanrou's frustrating IQ, it was possible that she really didn't understand.

Li Yuanrou chased him relentlessly, cursing under his breath. Ye Si was annoyed and used his lightness skills to fly out of the wall of the princess's mansion.

Since Prince Yun gave her money and wine, Li Yuanrou seemed to be in a slightly normal state. She was no longer as depressed as before, nor did she want to cry but hold it back like before.

Daya was very pleased, feeling that her master had become a living person with flesh and blood again.

This situation continued until Xiao Luobai's red clothes were accidentally taken away and washed by Erya.

Li Yuanrou looked at Erya who was kneeling on the ground to apologize. She did not get angry, but said calmly: "Just wash it, it's not a big deal."

She waved her hand, asking Erya to leave, and murmured, not knowing whether to herself or to Erya: "It's been so many days, there's no smell of him on that dress anymore..."

Outside the Green Plum Garden, Daya scolded Arya: "Didn't I tell you not to touch that red dress!"

Arya wiped her tears and said, "I forgot. I didn't look carefully and thought it was the princess's clothes..."

Daya: "When have you ever seen the princess wearing red clothes? She usually wears green..."

Daya stopped talking and sighed helplessly, "Blue, that is the prince consort's favorite color."

She wore blue for him, he wore black for her, these two people, they loved each other but couldn't be together...

In the next two days, Daya observed Li Yuanrou carefully with great tension and found that there seemed to be nothing unusual about her. She seemed to have let go of her worries and finally felt relieved.

Only Qingluan heard the faint crying coming from the Qingmei Garden at night.

Li Yuanrou suffered from insomnia again. The most painful time was at night. The more she wanted to sleep, the more she couldn't. The terrible silence was filled with heavy thoughts and deep sorrow, like an invisible wave, which made her feel breathless.

She tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep, with a lot of thoughts in her mind. It had been more than a month, and Xiao Luobai should have arrived in Beiluo. She wondered if everything was going well for him, and why he hadn't even written her a letter to let her know he was safe...

Li Yuanrou had to drink a little wine every day to fall asleep. Although he would sometimes wake up after sleeping for an hour, it was better than not sleeping at all.

After Xiao Luobai left, the guards of the princess's mansion were not as strict as before. Li Yuanqi only wanted to trap Li Yuanrou in this mansion for fear that she would leave Shangjing City.

Ye Si would occasionally stroll outside the princess's mansion, which made it convenient for Qingluan to get wine for Li Yuanrou, so Li Yuanrou never ran out of wine.

Although the guards at the door did not dare to stop Prince Yun and his men, Ye Si was not very well-behaved. He almost never entered through the main gate, but always climbed over the wall, put the wine on the stone table in the Green Plum Garden, and hurried away.

Li Yuanrou remembered what Ye Si had not finished saying last time. After waiting for many times, she finally found an opportunity and caught Ye Si who came to deliver wine but failed to leave in time.

She ordered Qingluan to stop Ye Si's way and was determined to get the answer: "What happened to my mother?"

Ye Si finally became annoyed and said, "Your mother is two-timing!"

Li Yuanrou was furious: "You are talking nonsense!"

Ye Si ignored Li Yuanrou's anger: "Your mother first flirted with our prince, and then coveted the position of queen and entered the palace. Your mother is not a good person!"

Li Yuanrou was so angry that her hands were shaking and she cursed: "You fart!"

Ye Si laughed sarcastically: "If you don't believe it, go ask her yourself."

He added contemptuously: "But she probably wouldn't dare to admit it."

Li Yuanrou was shocked and angry. She gasped for breath and couldn't utter a word.

Ye Si continued, "And your father, do you think he is a gentleman? He is selfish and took away your brother's sweetheart. Do you know why our prince is so powerful? It's not because our prince is greedy for power and has planned it carefully. It's because your father took the initiative to give him the power. He wants to make up for it. It's really ridiculous..."

Ye Si became more and more excited as he spoke, and he shouted out of control: "Every one of you has contributed to our prince's current situation."

He glared at Li Yuanrou: "Especially you! Unfilial daughter!"

Ye Si walked away after saying this. When he reached the courtyard wall, he suddenly stopped, tilted his head slightly, and said in a very light tone: "Be nicer to him in the future. He really loves you."
