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

"yes……"

Jiang Li's smile was forced, and her almond-shaped eyes didn't dare to meet the man's sharp phoenix eyes.

She opened the curtains, trying to dispel some of the bloody smell in the carriage.

"By the way, why are you here?"

The only people who came to the Hundred Flowers Banquet were the ladies from aristocratic families and some unmarried young men. Li Jinyuan couldn't join in the fun by coming here.

The man supported his temple with one hand. Excessive blood loss made him feel indescribably tired.

"Of course I'm here to look for Lili..."

After hearing this answer, Jiang Li didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Her red lips moved, but in the end she could only sigh softly.

The man's eyes were tightly closed, and he didn't notice the confusion on the girl's face.

Thinking that there was still a long time before she could leave the palace, and she had an appointment with her brother, Jiang Li wanted to go back to the Imperial Garden.

It just happened to dispel the doubts of Concubine Rou and the Great Prince...

"You rest here, I'll go take a look at the Imperial Garden."

Li Jinyuan opened his eyes upon hearing the voice. There was no emotion in his dark phoenix eyes, but Jiang Li could still see that he didn't want her to leave.

His handsome face, pale as a blood, made him look indescribably pitiful, like a big dog abandoned by its owner, which was heartbreaking.

Jiang Li softened her voice unconsciously and reached out to smooth the hair on his forehead.

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon, and we'll go home together then!"

The fair little hand left his forehead, and the soft touch gently plucked his heartstrings. He really wanted her to touch him again...

But she said they were going home together, a home for the two of them. Just hearing that made me feel satisfied...

"it is good."

Jiang Li didn't expect him to be so well-behaved. His dark eyes stared at her closely, full of dependence, which made her heart melt.

……

Half a minute later, Jiang Li rushed to the imperial garden.

After seeing that no one noticed her sudden departure, she straightened her sleeves and walked towards the crowd with a calm expression.

She looked around carefully with her almond-shaped eyes, wondering why Concubine Rou and Li Junlin had not returned yet... Were they still looking for the person who had eavesdropped?

That's right. After all, they heard about their serious conspiracy to murder the prince. In order to save their lives, they naturally would not let it go easily.

In a blink of an eye, her sight inadvertently fell on a fiery red figure. Jiang Li immediately raised her eyebrows. Is it Li Qianxue?

The girl covered her face with her sleeves, and every move she made was filled with shyness.

Jiang Li watched with interest. It was the first time she saw this domineering princess being so quiet.

But... why does that green figure beside her look so familiar...?

"elder brother!?"

Jiang Li was a little confused at the moment. How could these two people get together... and looking at Li Qianxue's expression, it was obvious that she had feelings for her brother!

On the wooden bridge, Liusu, who was following behind Jiang Lanchuan, spotted her with sharp eyes and raised her arm towards her.

"princess!"

The little maid's cry not only attracted Jiang Li's attention, but also Jiang Lanchuan and Li Qianxue's gaze.

Jiang Li walked quickly towards the few people, with worry hard to hide on her face.

Of course, it’s not just because of Li Qianxue, but also because I haven’t seen my brother for a long time, and I don’t know whether he and his father are doing well these days.

"elder brother!"

"Little sister!"

Jiang Lanchuan walked around the girl twice, and only after making sure that she had not lost weight did he stand in front of her with peace of mind.

"Brother, how are you and father doing lately?"

"Very good. How about you? Last time you went to Changzhou with the prince, the conditions there were difficult. Did you suffer?"

Jiang Lanchuan didn't know that she was robbed by bandits in Changzhou, otherwise he would never be so calm.

"No, don't worry, brother."

Li Qianxue was isolated from the two of them. Looking at their intimate relationship, her pretty face was filled with shock.

"You...are brother and sister!?"

The woman did not ask about Jiang Lanchuan's identity. In addition, he was often away on military campaigns and rarely appeared at palace banquets, so she did not know what he looked like.

She found it hard to accept the fact that the person she finally liked turned out to be Jiang Li's brother.

But... Jiang Lanchuan was truly handsome, the only man she had ever seen whose looks rivaled those of her royal brothers.

In addition, his words and manners were very gentlemanly and polite, and Li Qianxue really liked him...

What should I do? Is Jiang Li going to become her sister-in-law in the future?!

The expression on the woman's face changed so much that it was really wonderful. Jiang Li narrowed her eyes. Didn't she know her brother's identity?

"Yes, this is my brother from the same father and mother. It's normal for Your Highness the Princess not to recognize him since she's in the palace. But... I didn't expect my brother to chat with Your Highness the Princess like this."

Jiang Lanchuan was also surprised when he heard Jiang Li's words. This girl turned out to be a princess...

The man turned around and looked at Li Qianxue. The eldest princess was in poor health and seldom left the mansion, so the person in front of him should be the second princess.

"I was blind and didn't recognize the princess. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."

Jiang Lanchuan spoke sincerely, blaming him because Li Qianxue did not reveal her identity to him and he did not even care.

Li Qianxue hurriedly shook her head, her red ears looking completely different from her usual aggressive self.

"It's okay! I don't blame you. I am also wrong. I deliberately wanted to hide my identity..."

Jiang Li raised her eyebrows slightly. Could this person be possessed by a ghost? Why does he have two faces?

His eyes wandered between the two of them. His brother looked calm, but the way Li Qianxue raised her eyes from time to time to steal glances at Jiang Lanchuan showed that she had ulterior motives.

The girl couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, her brother is really more charming.

Obviously, she is not bad looking, but why does Her Highness the Princess treat her with such indifference?

"It's been a while since I last saw you, little sister. I won't disturb you, Princess, while you're at the garden. Goodbye."

"Oh……"

Jiang Lanchuan pulled Jiang Li's sleeve and walked down the wooden bridge without looking back, not noticing the woman's affectionate gaze behind him.

Seeing Li Qianxue standing there in a daze, the personal maid couldn't help but whisper a reminder,

"Princess, aren't we leaving?"

The woman bit her lower lip, her face full of regret and unwillingness.

"Ahhh! Why is he Jiang Li's brother!"

Reason told her that she should stay away from anyone related to Jiang Li, but... but she couldn't bear to do so!

The man's handsome smile appeared before her eyes, and she was stunned when she saw him for the first time.

He was also the first person who made her ignore her noble status as a princess and take the initiative to approach and talk to him!

……

Jiang Li and Jiang Lanchuan found a wooden pavilion, and the two siblings seemed to have endless things to talk about.

"Oh, right."

The girl took a velvet wooden box from Liusu and handed it to Jiang Lanchuan.

"what is this?"

Jiang Lanchuan opened the box and was curious when he saw a few small black pills inside.

"This is... a miraculous medicine I obtained from a hermit. It will help father recover from his old illness."
