I want to ruin the country

Prince Gong looked at her coquettish look, and felt as if his soul had flown away. His eyes widened, and he said,

"Your name is Yuji, right?"

Yu Ji said shyly,

"How did your Highness know this? Who told you?"

Prince Gong laughed,

"Who else could it be? Your brother told me, Yuji, do you really want to go to the Central Plains?"

Yu Ji said,

"I've heard from people who've been there that the Central Plains, with its vast landscapes and vibrant colors, is nothing compared to our place. Who wants to go and see it?

But, can anyone go there just because they want to? "

Prince Gong saw Li Yuji's resentful expression and his protective desire burst out. He immediately said,

"It's really easy for you to go. This king can help you!"

Li Yuji glanced at him shyly.

"What is my identity and what can I do there?"

Prince Gong said boldly,

"If you follow me, wouldn't it be legitimate?"

Li Yuji's face was full of red glow,

"Your Highness, please don't embarrass me. Yu Ji is not that lucky!"

Prince Gong had forgotten everything now and said quickly,

"If I say you are blessed, then you are blessed. Who can stop you?

Are you willing to follow me?"

Li Yuji's face flushed. She lowered her head shyly and said in a low voice,

"Your Highness is a rare talent, a suave and charming man, how many women wouldn't want to follow him?

As long as I can be with the prince, I don't care whether I'm his wife or his concubine, but how can my parents and brothers tolerate me? "

Prince Gong was already fascinated and said,

"If you agree, I will go and talk to them!"

Li Yuji looked at him infatuatedly, with spring water in her eyes.

"Your Majesty, you have captured my heart. I hope what you said is true!"

As she said that, she came over, stood on tiptoe, kissed him on the face, and ran away laughing!

Prince Gong was petrified!

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, where are you?"

Li Sheng’s voice came from a distance!

"it's here!"

Prince Gong agreed and walked out of the peach forest!

Back at the banquet, Prince Gong no longer had any interest in eating or drinking, and his entire attention was on Li Yuji.

Li Sheng deliberately asked,

"My Lord, what's on your mind?"

Prince Gong swallowed the words back when they came to his lips.

He thought that he came here with a mission. If things went wrong because of a woman, he would not be able to explain to his fourth brother when he returned. He could not do something that would not make up for the loss.

Having made up his mind, he said,

"It's okay, it's okay, let's drink!"

Li Cunxuan was an old fox. He was secretly happy when he knew that Prince Gong was moved.

After dinner, Prince Gong and Li Hongzhang returned to the palace where they were staying.

Li Hongzhang said with a smile,

"My Lord, did you gain anything today?"

Prince Gong was still distracted and said,

"I didn't say anything today. I just ate and drank all day!"

Li Hongzhang said,

"Your Highness, don't you have any romantic encounters?"

The two of them had been together day and night since they set out, and their conversation had become very casual. Prince Gong became alert and said,

"What do you mean?"

Li Hongzhang said,

"At the banquet today, they arranged some entertainment, with many beautiful women singing and dancing. They are simply trying to seduce me with their beauty!"

Prince Gong was extremely smart. He immediately thought of Li Yuji and understood immediately.

"Haha, if you hadn't told me I'd still be dreaming. Damn it, I almost missed something big!"

"what happened?"

Prince Gong recounted what happened today, and Li Hongzhang understood.

"Your Majesty, our Central Plains world has a population of over 400 million, more than ten times more than theirs. We have everything they have, and we also have what they don't have!

"She's just a pretty girl. The one we picked out from thousands is a thousand times better than theirs. I advise Your Highness not to be deceived. If you let the Emperor's important affairs slip by, how will we explain ourselves when we return?"

Prince Gong chuckled.

"Li Hongzhang, thank goodness you followed me, otherwise, I would have been stuck here!"

Li Hongzhang shook his head.

"The flowers are so dazzling that I almost lost control. Fortunately, I kept repeating the emperor's teachings in my heart, which helped me maintain a clear mind!"

Prince Gong smiled and said,

"Alright, I'll take note of your contribution today and will inform the Emperor when I get back. But, what should we do next? We can't just keep eating and drinking. We have important things to do!"

Li Hongzhang said,

"Then let's discuss it carefully!"

After Prince Gong and his companions left, Li Cunxuan said to Li Sheng,

"Your Majesty, Prince Gong has fallen into our trap. From now on, as long as Yu Ji works harder, I believe that not only will he not be able to take the money, he might even leave some for us!"

Li Sheng was also overjoyed.

"I didn't expect that such a dignified prince would actually look so ignorant of the world. It cost us so much effort!"

Li Cunxuan said,

"Your Majesty, I have a different opinion. The reason Prince Gong fell in love so easily today is simply because he is too young!

The other ministers of the Daqing court are not like this. They have been immersed in officialdom for decades and are like foxes with white mouths, very difficult to deal with! "

Li Shengdao,

"No matter what, we have already taken the initiative. We just need to wait for Prince Gong to propose marriage!"

Hahahaha!

The two looked at each other and laughed, looking like they were sure of winning!

What King Li Sheng and Prime Minister Li Cunxuan did not expect was that Prince Gong did not come to propose marriage. The next day, the two of them ate and slept, and did not even leave the house.

Li Cunxuan found it incredible. What on earth was going on? Why weren't they anxious? He and Li Sheng spent the day in agony.

The imperial envoy from the Celestial Empire cannot be left alone forever.

The next day, Li Cunxuan came to pay a visit to Prince Gong again.

Prince Gong's face was as gloomy as water.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, what do you think of what the Emperor said? Have you discussed it? We are not here for vacation!"

"Uh, Your Highness, our King is trying to come up with a solution. Please be patient. I came here today to invite Your Highness and Special Envoy Li to go out for an outing and enjoy the spring scenery of our treasure island!"

Prince Gong changed his expression and said with a smile,

"Okay, as long as it doesn't interfere with the Emperor's business, you can go anywhere!"

Li Cunxuan had no choice but to accompany them out to play.

Prince Gong is quite good at having fun.

"Master Li, I met Miss Yuji in the garden the other day. We seemed to get along quite well. Can you invite her over so we can hang out together?"

Li Cunxuan is racking his brains to think of how to make Prince Gong and Li Yuji "meet by chance"!

When Prince Gong brought it up, he was delighted and said hastily,

"Very well, I will go find the king right away!"

Not long after, Li Yuji arrived, and with her came four beautiful girls, who were all the dancers that day!

Prince Gong said,

"Master Prime Minister, we're going on a spring outing. Could you please tell your servants to bring some ingredients and tools for a picnic? Shall we have an open-air barbecue?"

Barbecue is the strong point of the Koreans. The ingredients in the royal kitchen are ready-made and very easy to prepare.

"Good good!"

Li Cunxuan ran to make arrangements!
