The Princess Wei Yang

Chapter 84 : Such Evil

1驸马 – title for a Princess’ Husband

2指桑骂槐 – scold the locust while pointing at the mulberry tree. To scold someone indirectly.

Li Weiyang smiled: “What is so bad about Jiu Gongzhu? It’s just asking you to play with her, why do you feel so indignant?”

Li Min De returned the smile blandly. “Members of the royal family are so arrogant, it irritates me.”

“You’re just being biased, Gongzhu might be a bit proud, but she is innocent and happy-go-lucky, plus she doesn’t have any ill intentions. She likes you so much, do you know how many cannot even dream to be in your place?”

“I don’t want people to accuse me of aiming for power and position!” Li Min De frowned.

Li Weiyang couldn’t help but laugh. “You’re so big already, but you’re still so pedantic. What a silly child!”

“To complete great things, one must of course pay attention to the small details. However, this matter is too trivial for us to give much thought to.” Li Min De smiled back.

Li Weiyang was stunned, and curiously remarked: “I am just concerned about you, because it seems like Gongzhu.. could she have the intentions to make you Fu Ma1?!” She meant it as a joke to tease Li Min De, but he was totally stunned. “How did you know?”

Li Weiyang’s lips quirked into a smile, her eyes narrowing slightly. “The moment Gong Zhu saw you, her both eyes lit up. It seems that no matter how old you are, lust is always an issue.”

“What?” Li Min De was shocked.

“Why do you think I’d encourage you to play with her, Min De, you should actually consider marrying Gongzhu ah!” In this way, not only could Jiu Gongzhu escape her sad fate, Li Min De could also have a pillar of support. However, it also meant that Min De could never have a chance to build a name for himself, and remain a mere Fu Ma with no real power.

“I don’t want that!” Li Min De replied directly.

“If you don’t want her, then who do you like?!”

“I don’t like anyone!” Li Min De retorted, but for unknown reasons, his face started to redden.

“Good, then Gongzhu it is.”

“Hey… You’re making a joke out of me ba... Hey..”

At this moment, Li Min De suddenly went silent. His gaze landed somewhere not far from here; Li Weiyang followed his eyes and saw Li Chang Xiao crying and running towards them. She fell to the ground by accident and skinned her knees, which prompted the servants at the side to hurriedly help her up.

Li Weiyang and Li Min De exchanged a glance, and Li Weiyang spoke up: “Si Mei, what happened to you?”

With a face full of tears, Li Chang Xiao lifted her head. Upon seeing Li Weiyang standing in front of her, she immediately used her sleeves to wipe away her tears. “Nothing, nothing, some sand entered my eyes.”

Sand in her eyes? She was not a child, why would she think of lying to her? Li Weiyang did not want to meddle in others’ affairs, but her instinct told her that Li Chang Xiao was trying to hide something.

Li Chang Xiao’s Yatou Yin’er said defeatedly: “San Xiaojie doesn’t not know this, but our Xiaojie here kindly served tea and medicine to Furen. Who knew that Da Furen scalded her tongue while drinking the medicine, and accused Xiaojie of harming her on purpose, and gave a her fierce scolding! Da Furen scolded Xiaojie, but she still said that her own Yatous are not dependable. She wanted Xiaojie to serve her at night, which Xiaojie found it inappropriate. Da Furen then accused her of not respecting her as her mother, wanting to take it easy and refusing to sacrifice her own rest at night, and scolded Xiaojie for purposely agitating her illness! San Xiaojie, you know that our Xiaojie is honest by nature!”
