The concubine pretends to be obedient, the sinister prince's favorite

Li Junlin was closest to her, so he naturally noticed her emotional fluctuations.

Following the woman's gaze towards the handsome and beautiful couple opposite, the man's casual smile gradually faded.

The two silver-white figures were very close to each other. The girl looked up at the man beside her from time to time. Her almond-shaped eyes were sparkling with water, and she pouted her pink lips from time to time. She looked like she was acting coquettishly... She was particularly cute and lovely.

Jiang Li... When did she become so close to Li Jinyuan? Isn't she only interested in me...

A feeling of depression surged into his heart, and even though he was usually the best at disguising himself, he couldn't help but look gloomy.

……

The dance is over.

The noisy hall gradually became quiet.

Concubine Rou turned her beautiful eyes slightly and looked at the emperor who was in a very good mood sitting on the dragon throne, and suddenly an idea came to her mind.

Although the marriage between Jun Lin and Ji Qingwan is now a foregone conclusion, the emperor has been reluctant to issue an edict to grant the marriage, so the matter has been dragged on.

She was not in a hurry at first. After all, she felt that Ji Qingwan's wealth and background were not enough to qualify her for the position of the Grand Princess.

However, the plan to frame Jiang Li and Li Jinyuan was not only exposed, but it also promoted their relationship, which made her panic.

General Jiang had just led his troops to quell the invaders on the southern border, achieving another great feat. If Li Jinyuan could gain his support, most of the generals in the court would surely submit to him.

Concubine Rou's eyes gradually became colder. She would never let that bitch's son ascend to the throne of the crown prince!

The woman curled her red lips slightly, then looked at the emperor with a soft smile, her voice charming.

"Today is our royal family's annual festive day, and the children all want to make the emperor happy. Especially the little girl Qingwan, who has been practicing day and night and rehearsing a dance specifically for the emperor!"

Upon hearing this, the emperor's eyebrows lit up with joy. "Oh? This is the eldest daughter of Master Ji, right?"

Seeing the emperor's gaze on him, Ji Qingwan could only bite the bullet and stand up.

"It is your humble servant, your humble servant greets His Majesty!"

"Stand up, Concubine Rou said you rehearsed a dance specifically for this. Is that true?"

Ji Qingwan swallowed, and after meeting Concubine Rou's urging gaze, she could only respond with forced calmness.

She had not rehearsed any dance specifically, so what she was committing was the crime of deceiving the king, and the woman was still a little uncontrollably flustered.

"Haha, all right, let the musicians prepare! I want to take a closer look!"

Seeing that the emperor was happy, Concubine Rou curled up her red lips in satisfaction.

Regardless of whether Ji Qingwan's performance was good or bad, it was her sincere expression of gratitude, and the emperor would definitely reward her. Then he would take the opportunity to propose her engagement with Jun Lin. With so many first-rank officials present in the hall, the emperor would definitely not delay any further.

Ji Qingwan changed into her dance costume with trepidation, and as the accompaniment started, she could only bite the bullet and start dancing.

Fortunately, she has been learning dancing since she was a child, and after a while, she has become a very pleasant dancer.

……

At the table, Jiang Li's belly was already bulging.

Li Jinyuan glanced at the girl's plump cheeks. A soft touch flashed across his eyes.

She picked up a grape with her slender white fingertips and carefully peeled it before handing it to Jiang Li's mouth.

The pink and rosy lips opened and took it in, and the tip of the moist and tender tongue accidentally rubbed the man's fingertips.

"No, no more... I can't do it anymore."

With her delicate eyebrows slightly raised, Jiang Li couldn't help hiccuping even when she spoke.

Li Jinyuan didn't notice the accusation in the girl's words at all. His dark phoenix eyes stared at the fingertips with fluorescent water stains, and his Adam's apple rolled slightly.

Jiang Li raised her eyes and saw that the man was silent, so she quietly moved to the side, fearing that he would continue to feed her and she would end up stuffed to death.

The man looked at her little movements, raised his sharp eyebrows slightly, and then moved closer with a smile in his eyes. The distance between them became zero again.

Jiang Li was speechless, but didn't dare to get angry. She could only poke at the dishes in the bowl with resentment, as if she treated them as men.

Li Jinyuan had noticed the girl's resentment, but there was nothing he could do. He just wanted to be close to her. She was so delicate and petite, and she looked so well behaved...

……

Ji Qingwan was still dancing on the stage, and while spinning, she once again saw the intimacy between the man and the girl.

The woman gritted her teeth in jealousy and even missed a beat in her dance moves.

Jiang Li looked at her thoughtfully. From the beginning of the banquet, she had caught the malice in Ji Qingwan's eyes towards her.

Why was this? In the original owner's memory, she had snatched the man "her" most loved, so why was there a hint of jealousy in her eyes now as she looked at her? ...

Similarly, Liusu, who was kneeling beside Jiang Li and serving her, was also looking at Ji Qingwan, but there was a hint of resentment in her eyes.

Jiang Li was curious, so she asked directly.

"What else could it be? Princess, have you forgotten... She stole the eldest prince back then, that's fine, but now that you've married the Third Prince, she still brings the Fifth Princess to the Third Prince's Palace to show off from time to time, as if she's the mistress of the Third Prince's Palace..."

"You're just being nice, thinking she doesn't have any bad intentions... We servants saw it with our own eyes. The look she gave the Third Prince wasn't innocent at all!"

The little girl was not a reckless person. She knew that what she said was not suitable for Li Jinyuan to hear, so she leaned over and whispered in Jiang Li's ear.

Li Jinyuan looked at the master and servant who were so close to each other, curiosity in his eyes. What were they talking about...

Looking at the angry little maid, Jiang Li couldn't help laughing.

It seems that the original owner's simplicity and stupidity sometimes made these little girls very angry.

"This palace banquet is obviously only open to the royal family and first-rank ministers, yet she's here... before even getting married to the eldest prince."

Seeing that the little girl was getting bolder and bolder and dared to say anything, Jiang Li quickly blocked her mouth.

It's fine to say these things to her, but if someone with ulterior motives hears them, they might think she's questioning the Emperor's arrangements...

Liusu also understood what Jiang Li meant and lowered her head in disappointment.

……

"Hahaha good!"

As Ji Qingwan finished her dance, the emperor happily praised her.

"Master Ji is a good teacher!"

When Master Ji was named, he quickly stood up to express his gratitude, with a look of satisfaction and pride in his eyes.

"Your dance is so impressive. What reward do you want?"

The emperor looked down at Ji Qingwan from a high position. His aura of majesty without even being angry made her kneel on the ground in a daze for a long time.
