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

Looking at the tall figure in front of him, Ji Qingwan bit her lips in confusion.

Although Li Junlin had expressed his love to her, she did not feel how much he liked her. Sometimes the way he looked at her could even be considered cold.

In contrast, although Li Jinyuan's attitude towards her has always been indifferent, she still couldn't help but feel attracted to him.

Even if he married Jiang Li, as long as the man still remembered that love, she would one day take the position of the third princess.

Ji Qingwan grabbed the hem of her skirt tightly, a fierce look of determination flashed across her eyes, and she hurriedly followed Li Junlin's pace.

Eunuch Su looked at the two people coming towards him and immediately bowed respectfully.

"Greetings to the Great Prince, and greetings to Miss Ji."

"Get up."

Although the old man in front of him was a eunuch, he held an extremely important position in front of his father, and Li Junlin did not dare to turn his face away from him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Little Li, come and lead the way for the eldest prince!"

Only after seeing Li Junlin and Ji Qingwan follow Little Lizi into the hall did Eunuch Su breathe a sigh of relief.

The emperor has few sons. The second prince likes to travel and is often missing. The fourth prince has a childish mind and has no interest in the throne.

Nowadays, only the eldest prince can pose a threat to the third prince.

The old man couldn't help but look up at the sky, looking very lonely.

That gentle woman from Jiangnan eventually died in this ruthless palace, and as for the child she left behind, I will protect him with all my life, as a way of repaying her for saving my life...

……

"Third Prince, the Third Princess is here!"

"My Lord, Miss Ji is here!"

Following the guards' announcements, the emperor sitting on the golden dragon throne finally smiled, but then he snorted in a reproachful manner, as if he was afraid of damaging his dignity.

"Humph, this third brother finally decided to bring his princess out."

The queen, who was sitting on the emperor's right hand side, chuckled softly when she heard the sound, her eyes and eyebrows dignified.

"The Third Prince is a well-mannered child and will certainly not disappoint the Emperor."

Although the emperor did not reply, his eyes looking at Li Jinyuan below the stage became more loving.

"Everyone, please stand up and take a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The four of them sat on both sides, and the seats arranged for them by the Ministry of Internal Affairs were exactly facing each other.

Li Junlin's eyes, which were always gloomy, met Li Jinyuan's gaze, and then he chuckled and nodded, which could be considered a greeting.

The latter withdrew his gaze indifferently. Although his cold look did not make Li Junlin angry, it made Concubine Rou, who was sitting under the queen's seat, look displeased.

A hint of ruthlessness flashed across her beautiful eyes, which were three points similar to Li Junlin's, and then she silently glanced at the emperor who was sitting high.

Humph, the old guy was filled with joy when he saw Li Jinyuan. As long as he was around, he would never see her Jun Lin!

Unlike Concubine Rou and others who had complicated inner dramas, Jiang Li was attracted by the dazzling array of delicious pastries in front of her.

As expected of the royal kitchen, the food they make is exquisite...

The little girl had just taken a bite of the osmanthus cake when a clear male voice came from the side, which scared her a lot.

"How is it? It's delicious, right? This is my favorite pastry!"

"Cough cough..."

Jiang Li coughed so hard that her face turned red, which also attracted the attention of the man next to her.

Li Jinyuan glared at Li Youchuan, who had come over at some point, with a stern look on his face. He then raised his hand and patted the girl's back, and gave her some water.

Li Youchuan scratched the back of his head awkwardly. His brother's gaze was so terrifying that he didn't dare to act presumptuously.

"I'm sorry, sister-in-law, did I scare you?"

Jiang Li had almost recovered. Listening to the man's regretful apology, she raised her eyes, still shining with water, and looked over.

After seeing Li Youchuan's face clearly, the girl's expression paused, and then her heart softened.

This kid looks so cute, with fair skin and puppy eyes, he looks like a high school student no matter how you look at him.

Jiang Li stared at him in a daze. He had just called her the Emperor's sister-in-law, so that meant the Fourth Prince... Thinking back to the original owner's memory, the Fourth Prince Li Youchuan was only a high school student... No wonder he looked so milky...

Not only was Jiang Li lost in thought, Li Youchuan also didn't expect that his rumored sister-in-law would be so beautiful, like a fairy from heaven...

A light suddenly flashed in the dog's eyes, and all the bad rumors he had heard in his mind were overturned.

Li Jinyuan had clenched his fists without him noticing, and his eyes looked at the young man with an increasingly cold expression.

"Have you seen enough?"

The cold male voice frightened Jiang Li so much that she shuddered. When she looked up, she saw the man's dark face.

"Um……"

Li Jinyuan suppressed the inexplicable sourness that welled up in his heart, and with a force, he pulled Jiang Li into his arms. Then he glanced sideways at Li Youchuan, with the disgust in his eyes clearly revealed.

"Go back to your own seat."

The young man pursed his lips in grievance. He hadn't seen his third brother for a long time, and he hadn't even spoken to his third sister-in-law yet...

"Brother Emperor..."

Li Jinyuan's eyes forced Li Youchuan to take back all the words he hadn't said yet. The boy hung his head like a lost puppy, and his voice was visibly aggrieved. "Okay..."

Jiang Li couldn't help but turn her head when she heard the voice, but before her neck turned halfway, she was clamped by a big hand, and then with a little force, she was pushed against his chest.

When her innocent almond eyes met those phoenix eyes, the girl swallowed unconsciously and then leaned obediently against Li Jinyuan's chest.

The man's face was visibly gentle, and he gently pinched Jiang Li's lower back with his big hand. The numbing feeling instantly spread throughout her body, making the girl feel a little uneasy.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and Jiang Li sighed softly to regulate her breathing. In front of outsiders, she still had to cooperate with this man and pretend to be affectionate. Besides, he probably didn't know that this was her sensitive spot. Just bear it, it will pass...

What the girl didn't know was that, where she couldn't see, the smile in Li Jinyuan's eyes became more and more intense, and the soft touch from his fingertips made his breathing tremble with excitement.

Phoenix eyes admired the occasional trembling of the small body in front of him with great interest. After that crazy night, how could he not know the sensitive parts of her body...

……

As a group of dancers entered one after another, the palace banquet proceeded in an orderly manner.

Looking through the crowd at the man and woman opposite who were whispering ambiguously from time to time, Ji Qingwan's back teeth were almost broken.

The woman tightly gripped the copper wine glass on the table, her fingertips turning white from the force, as if she was strangling Jiang Li's neck.

This vixen-like bitch... could actually make the Third Prince smile at her.

Jealousy has completely taken over Ji Qingwan's mind. Looking at Jiang Li's stunningly beautiful face, the woman can no longer maintain her gentle and cold image.

If someone noticed her at this moment, they would definitely be frightened by her distorted expression...
