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

Li Jinyuan walked closer with amusement and saw the little girl lying on the bed with regret, sprawled out, like a little fox with its belly exposed, waiting for its owner to touch it.

"Lili, do you want to go for a walk with me?"

Jiang Li moved her head when she heard the sound, feeling conflicted.

Although her body was very resistant to any exercise, she knew that if she didn't digest the food, she would definitely gain another two pounds tonight.

"it is good!"

……

In the backyard of Song Mansion,

The man put a cloak with his scent on the girl's thin shoulders.

The lotus pink corners of her clothes were completely covered, not allowing any wind to get through.

Li Jinyuan took hold of Jiang Li's small hand hanging by her side, wrapped it, and clenched it tightly. The burning temperature came through his palm, making her feel warm.

Jiang Li moved slightly, pursed her red lips, but did not struggle to break free.

The palm-sized face was buried in the collar of the cloak, leaving only a pair of bright, curious eyes looking around.

She raised her eyes quietly, and the man's angular profile came into view, as perfect as a work of art by a master artist.

Is he also so considerate when he is with Ji Qingwan?

Jiang Li couldn't help but tilt her head, but she didn't seem to have seen the two of them being so affectionate...

Recalling the day they went to Changzhou, Li Jinyuan's attitude towards her could be described as cold.

Why is that? Even when his carriage was stopped earlier, he still looked like he couldn't wait to see her.

Could it be... that they were having a quarrel?

Jiang Li showed a look of sudden enlightenment and couldn't help nodding. This must be what she thought.

People in Beijing were saying that Ji Qingwan and Li Jinyuan were a match made in heaven. They had been close since childhood, and everyone thought that they would definitely get married when they grew up.

Now that she had interfered and ruined everything, Ji Qingwan would definitely complain to the man, and it was only natural that she would be upset...

Her almond-shaped eyes carefully looked at the man beside her again. Her look was indifferent and expressionless, and no one could guess what he was thinking.

Jiang Li frowned in worry. What if he suddenly wanted to divorce her? She wasn't ready for anything yet! No, no, she had to speed up...

Li Jinyuan clenched the cold little hand in his palm a little tighter. Although he didn't lower his eyes to look at her, he could still see her little movements and expressions with his peripheral vision.

What evil thoughts is the little fox harboring?

"what happened?"

"Hmm? ...No, nothing."

The girl whose thoughts were interrupted came back to her senses and met those penetrating phoenix eyes. She was so nervous that she almost bit her tongue.

Li Jinyuan knew that she had something on her mind, but she was unwilling to tell him.

A rare hint of disappointment crossed his reserved and indifferent face. He didn't like her hiding things from him; it made him feel as if the distance between them had inexplicably widened...

Jiang Li turned her head and tried to cover up her awkwardness by appreciating the scenery.

But after just a quick glance around, she realized that there was nothing worth seeing in this bare backyard.

All the plants died due to the drought, and the water in the pond disappeared, leaving only a large empty pit.

The two stopped by the pond, their expressions becoming serious.

Jiang Li shook their clasped hands and spoke softly.

“It would be nice if it could rain heavily.”

The food from the farmland is really needed...

Thinking back to the promise she made in the field today and the turbid tears in her uncle's eyes, the girl felt as if a huge stone was blocking her throat and she couldn't breathe.

Li Jinyuan reached out and held her in his arms, looked up at the sky, and then frowned slightly as if he had discovered something.

"almost……"

"Ok?"

Jiang Li raised her head from the man's chest, her eyes puzzled. What was coming soon?

"The night deepens, but there are no stars in the sky. Only on rainy nights are the stars blocked by dark clouds."

Hearing the voice, the girl widened her eyes, then rested her chin on the man's chest and looked up.

"You mean it's going to rain tonight!?"

"Ah."

As the man finished speaking, a muffled thunder was heard in the sky.

"It is going to rain!"

Li Jinyuan quickly put the hood of the cloak on the girl, and the next second, crackling raindrops hit the dry ground.

"Hurry to that little pavilion over there!"

Jiang Li raised her hand and pointed at the pavilion standing above the pond. The man looked up and then ran there with her in protection.

"Wow...it's raining so hard."

Although she tried her best to protect herself, the girl's hair and skirt were inevitably stained by the rain.

After taking off the wet cloak, Jiang Li realized that Li Jinyuan's body was mostly wet.

His black hair stuck to his forehead, and drops of water kept dripping down his jaw.

His handsome facial features not only did not look disheveled, but instead added a lot of charming and broken beauty.

Jiang Li quickly shook her head, her face flushed. It was already this late, and she was still thinking about these things.

"Wipe it off quickly, or you'll catch a cold."

She handed the cloak to the man and asked him to use the wet part on the inside to wipe the water stains on his body.

Li Jinyuan's eyes were filled with smiles, and his long fingers did not take the cloak first, but touched the girl's blushing face.

"Why are you so hot? Do you have a fever?"

Jiang Li dodged his hand awkwardly and stuffed the cloak into his arms.

"No, I just ran away..."

She couldn't say that she blushed because she looked at him, otherwise she would be so embarrassed...

"Lili's physical strength is indeed not very good. She needs more exercise."

Li Jinyuan casually wiped the rain off his face with his cloak. The remaining fragrance on the fabric drifted into his nostrils, and it was so pleasant that he couldn't help but sigh.

Looking at his not-so-simple eyes, Jiang Li wanted to convince herself that she was overthinking it, but the smile in his eyes clearly meant something!

Afraid that the little fox would get angry, Li Jinyuan didn't dare to tease her anymore.

"The rain is quite heavy. It will probably take a while before we can go back."

"There's no rush."

It is better to rain for a while longer so that the crops have room to recover.

Meanwhile on the street.

The people happily opened the door and ran to their fields without any prior arrangement.

Seeing the dry soil being moistened by the rain little by little, everyone couldn't help but shed tears.

That’s great, God has eyes and didn’t cut off their escape route in Changzhou!

The young farmer who had talked with Jiang Li at noon walked quickly to the edge of the field and supported the excited old man.

After all, the rain was heavy and the ridges of the fields were covered with mud. Worried that the old man would slip due to his mobility problems, he supported him and wanted to take him home.

"Grandpa! The rain is too heavy, let's go home first!"

"An accident happened, an accident happened... The Third Princess is right..."
