In the previous life, she was fed to dogs by her elder sister, and she was reborn to seek revenge

Just when Ye Tinghua was being entangled by Li Wanqing and couldn't get away, the second prince and the fourth prince had just gotten rid of the entanglement of those bureaucrats' children, and the two were walking towards here side by side.

When Ye Tinghua saw the Second Prince and the Fourth Prince, he was like seeing a savior, and hurriedly shouted anxiously, "Second brother! Fourth brother!"

The second and fourth princes also walked forward and saw that Ye Tinghua was followed closely by a petite girl in red. She was also quite pretty. The fourth prince immediately smiled and joked, "Oh, third brother is so lucky. Where did this little girl come from? She is a little short, but she looks pretty."

At this moment, the Second Prince also noticed the little man in red beside Ye Tinghua, and immediately thought of the scene when Lin Qingyao was harassing Ye Tinghua in the garden before the banquet started, and he couldn't help but say with some jealousy in his heart.

"Third brother, you are really lucky. Why are all these young ladies throwing themselves at you? Is there something special about you that is unknown to others?"

When Ye Tingxuan heard what the Second Prince said, he instantly understood that he was deliberately teasing him with hidden meaning, and for a moment he laughed awkwardly.

Before Ye Tinghua could answer, Li Wanqing, who had been holding Ye Tinghua's arm tightly, let go of Ye Tinghua's arm and stepped forward to answer.

"I, Li Wanqing, have met the Second and Fourth Princes. To answer the Second Prince's question, I am naturally attracted by the Third Prince's appearance."

When the Second Prince heard this, he looked at the petite girl in red in front of him without changing his expression. He didn't expect that this little girl was not shy at all. She had just called herself a commoner girl, but her words and deeds seemed like she had seen the world. He couldn't help but be curious about the identity of the girl in front of him.

Before the Second Prince could ask, the Fourth Prince asked first, "Commoner girl? Today's palace banquet is for officials and noble families. Where did you come from, little idiot? How did you end up in this palace?"

Li Wanqing was not at all flustered after hearing this, and answered respectfully, "My father is Li Jinsong. He came to the palace to deliver a gift to the emperor on behalf of my father, so he appeared here."

When the Second Prince and the Fourth Prince heard that it was Li Jinsong, a well-known wealthy businessman in Kyoto, they all looked at Li Wanqing differently.

Everyone in Kyoto knew that Li Jinsong was wealthy enough to rival a country. No one in the Li family had ever served as an official. All of them had devoted themselves to business, and their business had even expanded to the north.

No one in the Li family has ever interacted with people in the court. They only obey the current emperor. The taxes paid by the Li family every year are also one of the important sources of the national treasury.

Therefore, even though the Li family's business was so big, no one dared to take advantage of the Li family, because everyone tacitly believed that the person behind the Li family was the current emperor.

After the Fourth Prince heard Li Wanqing's introduction, his expression immediately changed and he said, "So you are Miss Li. Nice to meet you. Didn't I hear that you went to the Western Regions to study since you were young?"

Li Wanqing was not at all restrained. She smiled openly, revealing two sweet dimples, looking very playful. "My father sent someone to pick me up some time ago."

At this moment, the Second Prince was secretly calculating the relationship between Li Wanqing and the Third Prince. You know, the Li family has always had a tacit rule that people in the Li family never intermarry with people in the court, and the descendants of the Li family all marry into merchant families.

But now Li Wanqing looked so ambiguous with Ye Tinghua, could it be that Li Wanqing didn't know the rules? Or was Ye Tinghua deliberately seducing her and then secretly recruiting the Li family for his own use?

Thinking of this, the Second Prince looked at the seemingly naive Li Wan in front of him and asked pointedly, "Just now I saw Miss Li and Third Brother acting intimately, and I heard Miss Li say that she loves Third Brother. Doesn't Miss Li know that your Li family has never intermarried with the court? Not to mention that Third Brother is a prince."

As soon as Ye Tingxuan heard the Second Prince's words, he knew what he was thinking. He was about to explain that he looked down on Li Wanqing when Li Wanqing spoke first.

"I know this, but it's because the Third Prince doesn't like me. If the Third Prince is interested in me in the future, I can sever my relationship with the Li family."

Before Li Wanqing finished her words, Ye Tinghua was shocked by her outrageous remarks. He suddenly started coughing violently to hide his embarrassment.

Ye Tinghua suddenly regretted why he didn't pull Li Wanqing away as soon as possible, but instead lured the Second Prince and the Fourth Prince here. He should have known that every time Li Wanqing appeared, he would say something that would make him drop his jaw.

At this time, the Second Prince and the Fourth Prince were also shocked by what Li Wanqing had just said. They had seen many women, many of whom were brave, but this was the first time they had seen someone as bold and presumptuous as Li Wanqing.

The second prince was immediately choked by Li Wanqing's words and didn't know what to say. He couldn't help but look at Ye Tinghua in front of him again, but he couldn't figure out the gap between him and him.

Why is it that although both are princes, his mother is Concubine Yu, who is favored by the harem, while Ye Tinghua's mother is just a palace maid who has never been favored by his father. Apart from the fact that she got some attention for the disaster relief work some time ago, how can she compare to himself?

When the Second Prince thought of disaster relief and looked at Li Wanqing in front of him, he seemed to have a guess in his mind. At this moment, he was eighty percent sure that the 100,000 dan of grain donated by Ye Tinghua came from Li Wanqing.

Thinking of this, the second prince immediately became interested in Li Wanqing. He felt that as a fellow prince, since Li Wanqing could fall in love with Ye Tinghua, then he would definitely be able to make Li Wanqing fall in love with him.

Just as the Second Prince and the Fourth Prince were trying to get close to Li Wanqing, Lin Qingyao, who had been secretly observing the Second Prince from a distance, almost tore the handkerchief in her hand.

Shen, who was standing by, saw that Lin Qingyao was about to cry. She thought that it was getting late and was afraid that if she delayed any longer, the palace gates would be closed.

Shen quickly comforted Lin Qingyao and said, "Yao'er, I don't think they will disperse for a while. It's getting late now. We should go back home quickly and think of a solution tomorrow!"

Lin Qingyao was so anxious that she was about to cry. It was this damn Li Wanqing again. Didn't he just rely on his family's rich money to snatch away her Third Prince? Now he even wanted to snatch away the Second Prince whom she had just hooked up with?

Lin Qingyao hasn't told Shen about the grain scam these days, so Shen has always thought that they still have 100,000 dan of grain on hand, which is why they are so calm now.

During the days when Lin Qingyao and Shen were imprisoned, Shen had been comforting Lin Qingyao like this, "Yao'er, it's up to Nan Mingyu to take these things. They are not ours anyway. Although the connection with the Third Prince is broken, it is a blessing in disguise for us. We got 100,000 dan of grain for nothing. We can sell them at a low price in a few days. It will be easy to sell."
