Chapter 182 I Will Not Take a Concubine
After listening to Lin Qingtang's explanation, Jiang Li clearly felt that the man's mood had improved a lot, and the low pressure had disappeared completely.
"If Lili doesn't like it, then don't choose it."
Lin Qingtang on the side was still complaining, wishing he could speak out all the "grievances" on Jiang Li's behalf.
"But even if Lili doesn't choose, the Queen will still check on the Crown Prince..."
Jiang Limei's heart skipped a beat and she called out to Lin Qingtang in a low voice.
The little girl was also a simple-minded person. How could they have any say in the Empress' affairs...
Lin Qingtang finally reacted and quickly lowered his head and stopped talking.
Li Jinyuan took this scene as Jiang Li's intention to swallow all her grievances. Her obedient and aggrieved look made him feel distressed.
"Having Lili in my life is enough for me. I won't take another concubine."
His big hand slid down her silky hair until it landed on her slender waist.
Jiang Li raised her head, a look of surprise flashing across her big purple grape-like eyes.
Although she knew that Li Jinyuan loved her deeply, she never expected that he would say such words.
Even when their relationship was at its peak, Jiang Li never thought that Li Jinyuan would abandon all the concubines for her.
Li Jinyuan was amused by her reaction. It seemed that she had no idea how much he loved her...
"Be good, accompany me to pay my respects to the Queen."
Li Jinyuan pulled Jiang Li directly towards the pavilion. Lin Qingtang stood there looking at their backs. She was so excited that she was going crazy, but she didn't dare to follow them.
The girl grabbed her sleeves and smiled like an aunt.
No matter what, she will marry someone who doesn't take concubines in the future!
Why can men enjoy being hugged by women, while she has to stay at home and take care of her husband and children?!
……
The two of them walked hand in hand, and the combination of handsome man and beautiful woman was particularly eye-catching.
"It's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! Oh my god, how could there be such a handsome man..."
"Is his relationship with the Crown Princess so good? Why do I remember that the rumors among the people were not like that?"
"You said it was just a rumor among the people, so of course it's false. If you had attended a few more palace banquets, you would have known that the rumors of marital discord between the two would have been disproven long ago."
The girl who asked the question blushed for a moment. Her family background was not as good as most people here, so she had never attended the palace banquet that the person mentioned.
Today, she was fortunate enough to enter the palace. It was her father who took great pains to get her in...
Everyone's attention in the Imperial Garden was attracted by the two people holding hands, and naturally no one noticed the girl's sensitive and inferior mood.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smiles so tenderly at the Crown Princess. If I were lucky enough to become his concubine, I would be completely satisfied if he could just give me a little bit of his love."
"You still want to take away His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's favor from the Crown Princess? What a fantasy! Don't you even look at the Crown Princess's stunning beauty? How can you compare to her?"
"You! You're no better than me!"
……
Li Junlin was already feeling annoyed being surrounded by a bunch of women, and now hearing them quarreling in his ears, his face couldn't help but darken.
There were many noble ladies in the crowd who were also attracted by Li Junlin's attention.
Apart from his somewhat cold personality, he actually looks just as good as the Crown Prince.
The most important thing is that he doesn't have a wife yet.
This just meets the requirements of those girls who only want to be the legal wife.
The man followed Jiang Li's back with a pair of cold eyes. Seeing her leaning on the arm of the person next to her with a faint smile, the sourness in his chest seemed to be about to burst out.
She hadn't looked at herself like this for a long time...
The last few times she looked at me, her eyes were either filled with vigilance or disgust...
Every glance was like a knife cutting into his body...
"Your Majesty~"
The sudden charming female voice interrupted Li Junlin's thoughts.
The man turned around coldly and saw a woman wearing gold and silver and with hairpins all over her bun looking at him shyly.
"My daughter greets His Majesty, may His Majesty be well and safe."
When Liu Furong saw Li Junlin looking at her, she immediately leaned down shyly and greeted him in a sweet voice.
The Liu family is also one of the most famous and noble families in Beichen. They are also descendants of military generals. However, there has been no male heir to inherit the family in the past two years, so the Lin family and the Jiang family have gradually shown their strengths.
Moreover, the Liu family has a close relationship with Concubine Rou's maternal family, so Liu Furong has to call Concubine Rou aunt.
Liu Furong remembered what her mother had told her before she left the house. She must marry the eldest prince in the future, so she only needed to show up casually at the Queen's banquet today.
But she didn't expect that she would run into Li Junlin by accident.
The girl thought that this might be fate destined by heaven. As she half-knelt to salute, she could still hide her shyness on her face.
But Li Junlin just glanced at her indifferently, and the next second, his gaze fell back on the girl not far away.
Liu Furong's legs were numb from squatting, but she still couldn't get the man to excuse her.
The woman's legs were trembling, and she couldn't help but look up at the man.
But then she realized that he didn't even look at her, as if she didn't exist in front of him.
"Your Majesty..."
Liu Furong groaned in grievance, and only then did she divert Li Junlin's gaze away from Jiang Li.
Meeting that pair of gloomy and impatient eyes, the corners of the woman's mouth, which had just been raised, drooped down the next second.
"No gifts."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Liu Furong smiled again, not intending to let this opportunity go.
"Your Highness, I just discovered that the red plum blossoms in Yimei Garden are in full bloom. How about... I'll accompany you there... Hey, Your Highness?"
Before Liu Furong could finish her words, she saw the corner of the man's inky clothes move away from her.
The woman called out anxiously, but he didn't even glance back.
She stomped her feet twice in anger, but still didn't feel relieved...
"Damn it! What on earth was he looking at just now?"
Liu Furong followed the direction Li Junlin had left and found him walking straight towards the pavilion. His eyes were fixed on the crescent-shaped figure in front of him on the right...
Liu Furong frowned. Is he looking at the Crown Princess...?
Suddenly, I recalled the rumors in the capital two years ago. The useless daughter of the Jiang family had publicly revealed her feelings to the eldest prince. It was like a dog-skin plaster that couldn't be shaken off...
Jiang Shi's useless girl? Could it be Jiang Li?
Because Liu Furong was still a full-time student two years ago, she usually stayed at home and did not know about those events.
