Joy of Life: The melon-eating prince sees through Fan Xian’s fake death
Chapter 91 Aunt, you know I love you the most
Chapter 91 Aunt, you know I love you the most
Emperor Qing once taught the prince that he must remain calm and composed no matter what happened, so he never had any major emotional fluctuations, including getting angry.
But this time, Li Chengqian was unusually angry with his aunt. This scene not only puzzled Li Yunrui, but also confused Qingzhu. This seemed to be very different from the usual prince.
“Qian’er, are you mean to your aunt?”
Li Yunrui’s big eyes were full of tears. She pointed at her charming face with her jade fingers in grievance and said pitifully in a trembling voice. As she spoke, tears still slipped from the corners of her eyes. She cried silently, and her crying made people cry.
Li Chengqian was breathing heavily. His emotional outburst just now was a deliberate disguise.
If he and the princess reunited after a long separation, it would be a deep love between aunt and nephew.
What does that become in the eyes of Your Majesty?
The adultery still exists and the spark has not been extinguished!
Even if Emperor Qing gave him the right to be a spy, he still had to make his position clear:
It is difficult to have a conversation with the eldest princess, but for Your Majesty, I am willing to be on good terms with her.
“Princess, I was rude just now. I’m sorry.”
Li Chengqian’s apology was very harsh in Li Yunrui’s ears, because her nephew no longer addressed her as the affectionate aunt, and the look in his eyes when he looked at her no longer had the previous fiery hunger and desire for sex, and it had only been a few months.
Can a man’s heart change so quickly?
Li Yunrui cried, not only because she felt wronged, but also because she was resentful and collapsed. She had lost control of the most important part of her revenge plan, which made her feel empty and disappointed. She had to find someone to vent her anger:
“You! You ruined my conversation with the prince. Someone, drag him out and execute him!”
Li Yunrui glared at Jiang Ziyan with his fox eyes.
The little girl turned pale with fright. The cake in her hand fell to the ground. She knelt on the ground with a plop, her forehead touching the ground, the chirping behind her head facing the sky, and she said in a trembling voice: “Your Highness, I didn’t mean to disturb you. Please forgive me!”
Clang!
The guards in the palace obey the emperor’s orders, and the eldest princess naturally has connections left in Kyoto. Several guards came over with swords drawn, ready to drag Jiang Ziyan out and behead her.
Qingzhu was also frightened and begged for mercy immediately. She knelt in front of Jiang Ziyan and pleaded with the prince for her: “Your Highness, Ziyan is still young and naughty by nature. She doesn’t know the rules very well, but she didn’t mean it. She is still a child!”
Li Chengqian stood up, pretending to be angry, and Li Yunrui also stood up suddenly. The rabbit on her chest jumped up and down, ready to jump out. She stared at the prince with her charming big eyes, warning him: If you go against her on such a small matter,
Then later
“Your Highness! Your Highness! Your Highness the Crown Prince!!! Please save this servant, I don’t want to die!”
Jiang Ziyan was frightened out of her wits by having two knives placed on her neck. A girl who had just reached adulthood was dragged out by a group of strong men and beheaded. If it were an ordinary woman, she would have been so frightened that she couldn’t stop peeing.
When she was dragged to the door, Li Chengqian felt a little doubtful and spoke:
“Wait!”
The imperial guards stood there in a daze.
next second.
The secret guards from the Prince’s Mansion swarmed in.
The masters led by Luan Hongyu put their weapons on the necks of the imperial guards.
Are you touched?
If you move, you will die!
Li Yunrui’s slender eyebrows were squeezed together, feeling unhappy, and walked towards the prince in confusion.
I am ready to put my arm around the Crown Prince and give him advice affectionately, just like when we were little.
Li Chengqian took half a step back.
Li Yunrui’s face was full of astonishment and disappointment.
Are you serious about taking a half step back? A small move can cause so much damage!
Li Chengqian was joking in his heart, but in fact he was fully aware of the situation in the Yannian Palace: “Imperial Guards, listen to my order, release the people. No one can touch the maid beside me except me!”
“Yes”
The imperial guards left in disgrace.
Jiang Ziyan, who survived the disaster, lay on the ground, gasping for breath, her face pale.
Qingzhu helped her up, and Jiang Ziyan’s eyes were filled with tears, and she burst into tears, scaring the baby to death.
“Why don’t you thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince quickly!” Qing Zhu reminded.
“Thank you. Thank you, Your Highness.” Jiang Ziyan thanked while crying, like a little girl who was still refusing to accept being beaten by her parents.
Li Yunrui was angered by the prince’s repeated reactions. She pointed at Jiang Ziyan and asked the prince: “Why? For a lowly maid who can be toyed with and discarded at will, you don’t even listen to your aunt’s words?”
Li Chengqian sighed and waved his hand: “You all go out.”
“Yes.”
Qingzhu took the order and left with Jiang Ziyan and the secret guards, leaving only two people in the hall.
Li Chengqian returned to his original position.
Seeing that the eldest princess was still angry, she stood there, her body rising and falling as she took deep breaths.
It’s like a resentful woman getting angry at her man.
“Aunt, calm down. Please sit down.”
Li Chengqian pulled out a chair for the princess and invited her to sit down like a gentleman.
Li Yunrui was very smart, but she was stunned at that moment. She was surprised by the contrast between the prince’s performance before and after:
“Your Highness, why do you treat me like this?”
Women are like this, the more you coax her, the more excited she will be.
Li Yunrui also put on airs, holding the hem of her skirt with both hands. When she sat down, her peach-shaped buttocks were pressed out, which was quite sexy. Li Chengqian behind her could see it clearly.
His proactive hospitality to his aunt inevitably aroused people’s imagination, especially the eldest princess.
Li Chengqian returned to his seat and poured tea for the princess, his fingers sliding across the cup in an ambiguous manner:
“Don’t blame me, auntie. Some things are not up to me to decide.”
Li Yunrui seemed to understand the meaning of the prince’s behavior just now.
Perhaps Emperor Qing was deliberately trying to break up the alliance between her and his nephew, so he forbade the Crown Prince to be on good terms with her.
That’s why Li Chengqian went against her in front of so many people just now, but when no one was around, he restored his previous “family affection.”
“Cheng Qian is suddenly so enthusiastic that it makes aunt feel a little overwhelmed.”
Li Yunrui knew very well where his advantages were. He pulled at his collar intentionally or unintentionally, and the spring scenery leaked out intentionally or unintentionally. The snow-white collarbone and the faintly visible curves were lethal to men.
It was no different from the bottle of aphrodisiac that Fan Xian used on Haitang Duoduo.
Li Chengqian swallowed his saliva deliberately and pretended to be serious, but when he lowered his head to add tea, he stared at the whiteness intently, acting out the role of a pervert who had been tempted and mentally controlled since childhood:
“Aunt, I’m sorry for the time I was away from Kyoto.”
Li Yunrui felt comfortable now. She saw the familiar look in her nephew’s eyes and the ambiguous atmosphere between them. She took control of the man’s lower body, and everything was back under control.
“You are in Xinyang, and your aunt will not feel wronged, but you got engaged to the young lady of the Fan family without telling your aunt.”
Li Yunrui picked up the teacup, pouted her red lips, and took a sip from the rim of the cup. That was exactly where the prince’s finger had rested just now: “Aunt is the one who feels wronged.”
Li Chengqian deliberately took a deep breath, leaned forward pretending to be excited, and looked at the princess with the most sincere eyes:
“Aunt, the engagement between me and Fan Ruoruo was granted by His Majesty. How can I make the decision? I don’t even have time to discuss it with you.”
Aunt, you have to believe that no matter who I marry, the woman I love most is still you!!!
When Li Yunrui saw her nephew looking up at her like this, it seemed as if everything had returned to the way it was before. She did not smile but instead became angry and slammed the table:
“Your Majesty, why are you like this? Cheng Qian, just say the word and your aunt will cancel the engagement for you!”
“.”
That’s not necessary. Li Chengqian was ready to end the conversation immediately.
Qingzhu just came to report the news: “Your Highness, Master Fan’s wedding banquet is about to begin, and I specially asked this servant to invite you into the mansion for a chat.”
Li Chengqian quickly changed the subject and looked at the eldest princess: “Aunt, Wan’er is getting married. Even if you don’t like Fan Xian, you have to meet her, right?”
“Too.”
Li Yunrui suspected that he was “escaping from the matter”, but without any evidence, he could only end the matter hastily and leave.

Royal study room.
Emperor Qing raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Yannian Palace:
“Let her come in and tell me everything about what they talked about just now.”
Eunuch Hou lowered his head and frowned:
“Your Majesty, I don’t know if it was a coincidence or she was keen enough to discover the real spy we planted next to the crown prince, so she suddenly wanted to kill that maid.”
Emperor Qing narrowed his eyes slightly.
Eunuch Hou reminded quietly:
“Is it possible that the news leaked out?”
Emperor Qing snorted coldly, which frightened Eunuch Hou so much that he immediately shut up and went to the imperial study to invite the informant in.
“This servant greets His Majesty!”
Jiang Ziyan came before Emperor Qing, knelt on both knees and bowed solemnly.
That’s right, Emperor Qing’s real spy is not Luan Hongyu, nor Qingzhu, but Jiang Ziyan, who has always appeared as a harmless, cute little white flower.
At this moment, she no longer had her usual innocent image of eating and sleeping every day. The clear and stupid light in her eyes completely disappeared, and her pupils became dark as a grindstone, giving people a feeling that she was quite scheming.
What little white flower?
It’s obviously white cut black!!!
The first reaction of Emperor Qing when he saw her was a loving smile:
“Zi Yan, I picked you up from the rebellion and adopted you for so many years. I have always admired you. In my mind, you are the woman with the best martial arts talent in the whole capital. No, you are even better than all the men.”
“Your Majesty, thank you very much.”
“Don’t be too modest. You are only eighteen years old, but you have already become a ninth-grade master. You are only one step away from the upper ninth grade. How many people in the world can compare with such talent?”
Jiang Ziyan’s little face no longer had a smile on it. She had a cold expression and responded coldly:
“I, your Majesty, thank you for giving me a new life.”
The imperial guards had just put a sharp blade on her neck, but not even a red mark was left, only a faint white mark. This was because her strength was far superior to theirs, even slightly higher than Fan Xian’s.
Emperor Qing watched her smile gradually fade away:
“Over the years, I didn’t let you leave the palace. Instead, I kept you by the prince’s side to take care of his daily life. It was really unfair and I neglected you.”
At this point, a glimmer of light flashed in Jiang Ziyan’s ink-black eyes, but soon, she closed her eyes slightly, and when she opened them again, she returned to her emotionless indifference:
“I am not wronged to serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.”
Emperor Qing’s expression changed a little, but he didn’t mention it, and asked:
“What did the Crown Prince and the Princess say and do in the Yannian Palace just now?”
Jiang Ziyan did not hide anything and told His Majesty everything that happened after the eldest princess entered the palace. The main content was how the prince was unfriendly to the eldest princess and the eldest princess’s tears and resentment. She did not hide anything.
And in the end, the princess wanted to kill her, but the prince protected her and let everyone out.
The following content was an encrypted call, and Jiang Ziyan didn’t know what happened next.
The whole process is an objective description without any subjective emotions. Your Majesty will judge for yourself.
When Emperor Qing heard Li Yunrui crying, his face darkened slightly, but he felt relieved in his heart:
“Zi Yan, do you think their relationship is good or bad?”
Jiang Ziyan shook her head: “I don’t know.”
Emperor Qing glanced at her, waved his sleeves, and turned around: “Leave, the Crown Prince must have discovered you. If he has any trouble for you, you can come to me and I will solve it for you.”
Jiang Ziyan kowtowed, accepted the order expressionlessly and left. After walking out of the imperial study, she felt something blocking her arms and reached into her pocket.
It was a piece of top-quality pastry gifted to her by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and only nobles of the level of His Majesty, the Queen and the Crown Prince could enjoy it.
Jiang Ziyan held the snack tightly and wanted to throw it into the lake.
But she was stunned, staring at the cake in a daze.
Then, Jiang Ziyan looked around vigilantly, especially at the imperial study behind her. Seeing that there was no one around, she stuffed the pastry into her mouth like a hamster and chewed the delicious food voraciously as she did before.
But as she walked and ate, in an empty corner, tears rolled down her cheeks.
“I, I still want to eat. I want to keep eating, keep eating, keep eating.”

Fan Mansion.
Li Chengqian was invited here. From a distance, he saw Fan Ruoruo standing at the door, looking around with longing. When she saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, she retreated behind the door in advance. When Li Chengqian arrived at the door, she pretended to be reserved as if they had met by chance:
“Your Highness, you are here!”
“What a coincidence, Ruoruo.”
Li Chengqian also cooperated with her in playing this chance encounter scene, and did not ask her why she was shy, wanting to see him but not in a hurry to see him.
A woman’s heart is as deep as a needle in the sea.
Don’t try to guess what a girl is thinking.
“Your Highness, you are finally here. Don’t you know that my sister has been waiting for you for an hour?”
Fan Sizhe also came out to greet the guests, but he pulled off his elder sister’s veil in a shameless manner.
“Fan Sizhe! You’re not going to get a fight!”
Fan Ruoruo held Li Chengqian’s hand, but for a moment she was reluctant to let go and went to the house to get a feather duster. She could only shyly frown and warn her brother not to talk nonsense anymore. She wanted to be a reserved lady in front of the prince.
Fan Sizhe hid on the other side of Li Chengqian:
“Sister, His Highness is here, you can’t hit him, otherwise, if His Highness finds out about your bad temper, he won’t marry you.”
“you!”
Fan Ruoruo was so angry that her chest hurt, but she was holding Li Chengqian’s arm at the moment, and she couldn’t lose her temper and teach her brother a lesson in front of her lover, otherwise she was worried that if she became a violent woman, as Fan Sizhe said, His Highness would not like her anymore.
Li Chengqian smiled at Ruoruo and lovingly tidied up her messy temples due to her anger:
“It’s okay, Ruoruo, if you want to hit me, go ahead. I like women with true nature.”
Fan Sizhe was so scared that he let go immediately, feeling like he was being stabbed in the back:
“Your Highness, you can’t say nonsense just to appease my sister!”
Li Chengqian chuckled: “I’m telling the truth.”
When Fan Sizhe looked back again.
Fan Ruoruo was already holding up her long skirt with one hand and holding a feather duster with the other, rushing towards him aggressively.
“Sister! I was wrong! Hit me more gently!!!”
