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

After finishing her discussion with Mu Nan, Jiang Li let him leave first.

After all, the two have different identities, and Jiang Li doesn't want to be seen by someone with ulterior motives and end up being gossiped about.

The girl slowly finished a plate of flower cake, straightened her sleeves, and stood up to leave.

When Li Junlin and Ji Qingwan came out of the box opposite, they saw the girl's slim figure at a glance.

The man paused, and then his hawk-like gaze fell on her without blinking.

He hadn't seen her for a long time. He only heard that some ministers from Li Jinyuan's faction in the court praised her for her deeds in Changzhou. Their words were completely different from the Jiang Li he knew.

Ji Qingwan naturally noticed Li Junlin's dazed look on Jiang Li, and recalled that day when she had finally managed to call the Third Prince to the Ji Mansion.

She thought he cared about her, but treated her, her "savior", differently.

But unexpectedly, the man wanted to draw a clear line between them as soon as he entered the door.

Not only did he directly appoint two imperial physicians to take care of her body, he also gave her all the hundred-year-old elixir that the empress dowager had rewarded him with, just so that she would not bother him with the identity of "savior" in the future.

After the man left, Ji Qingwan almost smashed everything in the boudoir.

A strong sense of resentment and jealousy surged in her heart, and her face became so ferocious that even the maids retreated away.

It's all Jiang Li's fault! If she hadn't interfered, she would have married the Third Prince long ago!

Now her mind has changed. Even if she marries the eldest prince, her status as the eldest princess is enough to put her on equal footing with Jiang Li.

Besides, no one knows who will ascend the throne of queen in the future, so she wants to keep Jiang Li under her feet forever!

"Your Highness, isn't that the Third Princess? Why is she still going out with a veil on and looking so flustered..."

Ji Qingwan feigned surprise and a hint of worry appeared between his brows, as if he was afraid that Jiang Li had done something immoral.

Li Junlin glanced at her sideways, a dark light flashed across his eyes. The deep emotion made Ji Qingwan unable to see clearly, but the chill that surged up her back came from the heart.

"Your Majesty..."

Li Junlin suddenly curled his lips into a smile, his voice gentle.

"Since we've met, I'll take Wanwan to say hello to the Third Princess."

The woman breathed a sigh of relief. She could never guess what the man in front of her was thinking.

This feeling of nervous tension was really a bit too much for her.

But there was no other way. In order to keep Jiang Li under her feet, she could only depend on the man in front of her.

"Yes……"

Jiang Li never expected that when she came out to meet someone, she would actually run into the two people she least wanted to see.

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

"Hurry up, Lili, no need to be so polite."

After saying this, Li Junlin wanted to reach out to help her, but Jiang Li dodged him calmly.

"There is a difference in status, so to avoid gossip, Your Highness, please call me your sister-in-law."

The smile on Li Junlin's lips froze for a moment. Listening to the girl's cold and distant words, his heart inexplicably became heavy, as if something was missing.

"Okay, sister-in-law."

Seeing Jiang Li deliberately taking a step back, Li Junlin clenched his hands tightly at his sides. Inexplicably, he, who was very good at hiding his thoughts, was almost unable to control his facial expression.

Ji Qingwan clenched his back teeth, his eyes full of jealousy.

This vixen is really seducing men all the time! She already has the Third Prince, why is she still seducing the First Prince?

"I greet the princess. I wonder why she came to this teahouse alone to drink tea? And why is she dressed like this...?"

Ji Qingwan's voice became smaller and smaller, and the deliberately dragged out ending tone was meaningful, as if Jiang Li was here to do something shameful.

The latter slowly raised his head, his almond-shaped eyes fell on her flawlessly, and his red lips curled slightly.

"I have nothing to do, and I heard that this teahouse has some new dishes, so I decided to come and try them."

"But Miss Ji...isn't your health not good? That day, you even asked your maid to hurriedly stop the Third Prince's carriage to see you. What's going on? Could it be that the Third Prince is your panacea and all he needs is a look?"

Jiang Li's smile was particularly sarcastic towards Ji Qingwan's resentful look last year.

Damn this woman! Why did she bring this up in front of the Great Prince? Didn't she feel even slightly humiliated when she called the Third Prince away?

"Princess, you misunderstood... I called the Third Prince away that day simply to ask him to help me find a royal physician. After all, my illness is..."

She didn't say anything else, but just looked up at Li Junlin.

After all, everyone knew about the relationship between her and the Third Prince. As long as the First Prince did not misunderstand her, Jiang Li's plan would be in vain.

"Humph, if it's just to find an imperial physician, then why would Miss Ji go so far away? Could it be that... the prince can't even summon an imperial physician?"

"you!……"

Ji Qingwan finally realized that Jiang Li was deliberately making things difficult for her today. How come she hadn't noticed before that she was so difficult to deal with!

She had just uttered a word excitedly when Li Junlin side-glanced at her with a deep, oppressive gaze that instantly stopped her from saying anything.

"Don't be rude. Apologize to your brother and sister-in-law."

The handkerchief in Ji Qingwan's hand was about to be twisted off by her, and a layer of unwilling tears appeared in her beautiful eyes. If looks could kill, Jiang Li would have been torn into pieces by her.

"I have offended the princess, and I hope the princess will atone for my sin..."

"It doesn't matter."

Seeing Ji Qingwan being humiliated, Jiang Li, who had been depressed for several days, suddenly felt better. Her almond-shaped eyes were smiling. Even though most of her face was covered by the veil, Li Junlin could guess how charming the smile on her little face was at this moment.

He was stunned and stared at it again.

Since the last palace banquet, this was not the first time that Jiang Li had caught his attention.

Ji Qingwan was almost going crazy with jealousy. This man had never shown such an expression to her before...

Jiang Li! Why didn't you die in that bandit's den last time? Even if your face was disfigured...

The girl seemed unaware of Ji Qingwan's murderous gaze. She saluted Li Junlin with a noble gesture and a cold voice.

"I have something else to do in my house, so I won't disturb the prince and Miss Ji anymore. I'll take my leave."

After she finished speaking, she shook her sleeves and walked out of the teahouse with Liusu.

Li Junlin stared at her back in fascination, his eyes becoming increasingly gloomy.

Jiang Li... How could a person change so much overnight, or were you just pretending in front of me?
