Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

A painting sent by the Fourth Prince Li Ying.

"I don't have anything good to give to King Zhao, so I have to draw this picture of a horse myself. I hope King Zhao won't dislike it."

He offered the scroll with both hands, but his gaze passed over King Zhao and landed on Hua Manman.

Li Ji took the scroll, opened it and looked at it: "The painting is very good, the fourth prince has a heart."

I don't know if it's Hua Manman's illusion, but she always felt that when King Zhao said the last few words, his tone was particularly heavy, as if he meant something.

Seeing that Hua Manman didn't even look at him, Li Ying was quite disappointed.

Then it was the fifth prince Li Yan's turn.

He stood up, smiling all the more enthusiastically.

"I know that there are many good things in Prince Zhao's Mansion. No matter what I give you, you should not be interested in it. So I gave you a special gift this time. I think you will like it."

After speaking, he clapped his hands.

A woman in a light blue gauze skirt walked in slowly.

Half of her face was covered by a veil, only revealing a pair of beautiful eyes like smoke.

The figure wrapped under the gauze skirt is uneven and graceful.

Even though she couldn't see her facial features clearly, judging from her appearance, she was a rare beauty.

In an instant, there was complete silence in Tangli Tower.

The smile on Li Ji's face also gradually faded.

Li Yan, however, seemed to be unaware, still smiling.

"I found this blue girl by accident.

I saw that she was quite pitiful in being reduced to prostitution, so I was moved to pity her.

It just so happened that King Zhao's birthday was approaching, so I paid to redeem her and gave it to King Zhao as a birthday present.

King Zhao probably doesn't know that this girl Lan, like Princess Zhao, was born on the Duanyang Festival on the fifth day of May, and her fate fits perfectly with you.

Tell me, is this a match made in heaven? "

Even though he said the truth, the emperor was still a little dissatisfied.

"How could you bring the woman from the Land of Fireworks in today's occasion?"

Li Yan quickly explained: "Father, please don't worry, Miss Lan's time in prostitution is very short, and she is still innocent up to now."

Concubine Liu Gui chimed in: "Yan'er is not the kind of person who doesn't know the importance. If this girl is not innocent, it is impossible for Yan'er to give her to King Zhao."

The emperor's brows gradually relaxed.

It is normal for princes and nobles to give concubines to each other. It is not a big deal for the fifth prince to send a woman to King Zhao, as long as the woman has a clean background and a clean family background.

Not only the emperor thought so, but other people present also thought similarly.

It's just a humble woman, not worthy of their attention.

Only the fourth prince, Li Ying, was in a bad mood.

Li Ying's biological mother was also a firework girl. Even though she was born as beautiful as a flower, she was looked down upon because of her humble origin, and even Li Ying herself suffered a lot.

This has always been his thorn.

Now the fifth prince Li Yan sent a fireworks girl to King Zhao, which reminded Li Ying of his biological mother.

Back then, was his mother treated like a plaything and sent around at will?

Just thinking about that scene made Li Ying feel extremely uncomfortable.

He picked up the wine glass and drank it down, hoping to forget the past through the strength of the wine.

Under the instruction of the Fifth Prince Li Yan, the girl in blue stepped up to King Zhao and saluted gracefully.

After she straightened up, she raised her hand and took off the scarf on her face.

The stunning face revealed surprised everyone present.

Even Hua Manman had to admit that this girl was indeed beautiful, so beautiful that she, who was also a woman, couldn't help but take a second look.

Li Ji frowned slightly when he saw Miss Lan's face clearly.

He originally wanted to reject the gift, but changed his mind temporarily and asked Chen Wangbei to take him away.

Seeing this, Li Yan showed a smug expression.

It is said that a hero is sad about a beauty, no matter how difficult King Zhao is, wouldn't he still fall under the beauty's pomegranate skirt? !

Hua Manman's mood is very complicated.

She knew that this kind of thing was normal in ancient times.

But she is not an ancient person after all, and she can't accept this kind of behavior of treating a living person as a gift.

What's more, the party who received the gift was her husband in name.

No matter how big her heart was, she couldn't help being a little upset at this moment.

Li Ji didn't know what was going on in his mind, and didn't notice Hua Manman's emotional changes.

After drinking for three rounds, the emperor, the empress dowager, and Princess Ningyang all left, and the atmosphere at the banquet became more lively.

King Anshun had a habit of teasing people about mountains when he was drunk.

Tonight is no exception.

He carried the flagon, walked up to King Zhao drunkenly, and said with a playful smile.

"Congratulations to King Zhao for his beauty, come on, have a toast!"

Princess Anshun was almost scared to death.

Everyone in Shangjing City knows that King Zhao is a murderous evil spirit. King Anshun dared to provoke him because he had the guts of a bear? !

Princess Anshun hurried over and pulled King Anshun back.

The drunk King Anshun shook off his concubine's hand like a mallet, and sat down in front of King Zhao.

"Huh? The purse on King Zhao's body is really special, where did it come from?"

Li Ji said expressionlessly: "It has nothing to do with you."

King Anshun patted him on the shoulder fearlessly, and the two brothers seemed to smile.

"I understand. You are willing to wear such an ugly purse. It must have been made by some pretty girl, right?"

Princess Anshun is really going crazy.

Why does this dead man dare to say anything? !

While grabbing King Anshun's arm and dragging it back, she awkwardly apologized to King Zhao and his wife.

"I'm sorry, he's easy to talk nonsense when he drinks too much, you two, don't take it to heart."

King Anshun yelled in dissatisfaction: "I'm not talking nonsense, that purse is really ugly! If you don't believe me, take a look, is it uglier than the purse you made?"

Princess Anshun was immediately laughed out of anger, and unceremoniously pinched his waist severely.

"Try saying one more sentence."

King Anshun screamed out in pain: "You murdered your own husband!"

Princess Anshun pinched his waist again.

This time with greater strength.

King Anshun cried in pain.

At this time Li Ji suddenly spoke.

He said calmly: "This purse was made for me by the princess, I think it looks pretty."

Princess Anshun hurriedly said: "This purse is really beautiful, Princess Zhao's craftsmanship is very good, the two are really a match made in heaven."

After boasting indiscriminately, she dragged King Anshun back.

King Anshun didn't dare to struggle and resist anymore, sobbing, he followed his princess back home.

Before leaving, Princess Anshun did not forget to apologize to Hua Manman.

"I'm really sorry, it was my prince who said something wrong tonight, and I will definitely come to the door to apologize another day."

When the couple walked away, they could vaguely hear King Anshun's voice.

"I didn't expect King Zhao to be blind at such a young age. He still thinks such an ugly purse looks good."

Li Ji: "..."
