I, the villainous eldest prince, will suppress everything!

"Twelve swordsmanship geniuses, he really went all out!"

Pei Qingluan still didn't have a good look on her face. If she had known this would happen, she wouldn't have done it in the first place. She didn't care about any sword genius at all, she only cared about what happened back then.

If it weren't for Li Fuyao, how could her mother have died? What Li Fuyao is doing now is simply making amends.

"Sister, Uncle has actually been quite good to you. What happened back then wasn't entirely his fault..."

Pei Shisan spoke up, offering well-intentioned advice.

But as she spoke, she dared not continue, because Pei Qingluan looked at her with cold eyes.

He knew that this was a knot in Pei Qingluan's heart, the kind that she could never untie in her lifetime.

"Okay, okay, sis, don't be angry, I won't say anything more." Pei Shisan quickly stopped talking.

This is the future Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he doesn't want to strain his relationship with Pei Qingluan too much.

The siblings were talking inside the house when they heard footsteps and voices outside.

Upon hearing the sound, Pei Shisan was like a mouse seeing a cat, frantically searching the room for a place to hide.

"Oh no, sister, it's my mother! If she finds out I secretly came here, she'll beat me to death."

Pei Qingluan sighed in annoyance and gave Pei Shisan a wink, signaling him to hide in the closet. Pei Shisan quickly ran over and hid inside.

The cabinet door had just closed when the room door was pushed open.

The eldest wife of the Pei family led the way with a man into Pei Qingluan's boudoir.

"Your Highness, really, you could have just sent someone to tell us that the Pei family would send Qingluan over. Why did you have to come all the way here yourself? It's really..."

The man was none other than Qin Li, who had come from the Yellow Crane Tower.

Pei Qingluan, who was dressing up in front of the bronze mirror, did not expect Qin Li to come in person. She stood up involuntarily, not knowing what to do.

The First Madam beckoned to her, saying, "Qingluan, come quickly and greet His Highness the Crown Prince."

Qin Li raised his hand and said calmly, "No need. There's no need for formalities between husband and wife. Mother-in-law, there's nothing for you here. You may leave now. Qingluan and I have a few private words to discuss."

The First Madam smiled obsequiously, "Alright, Your Highness, please speak slowly with Qingluan, there's no rush."

After saying this, the First Madam slowly left the room, closing the door behind her.

After the First Madam withdrew, the room immediately fell silent.

Pei Qingluan was still standing in front of the bronze mirror, at a loss, not knowing what to do or say.

Qin Li, on the other hand, came here as if he were at home, and walked straight toward Pei Qingluan.

He curled his lips into a smile and said, "What's wrong, Crown Princess? It's only been a few days, and you don't recognize me anymore?"

These past few days, Pei Qingluan has been staying at the Pei residence awaiting her marriage and has not gone out.

Seeing the wicked smile on Qin Li's lips, Pei Qingluan's face showed displeasure, and she sat down again in front of the bronze mirror.

There's no need to say how much she likes Qin Li.

She never intended to marry Qin Li; it was Qin Li who insisted on marrying her.

She thought that she was not young anymore, and it didn't matter who she married, so she gritted her teeth and agreed.

"What's wrong? Are you angry?"

Qin Li asked the question knowingly and came up behind Pei Qingluan.

Pei Qingluan was picking out a hairpin for herself from a pile of hair accessories, and said:

"How could I, a mere woman, dare to be angry with His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Qin Li bent down, looked at Pei Qingluan in the mirror, and couldn't help but sigh, "So beautiful!"

Pei Qingluan's face flushed, and she felt extremely uncomfortable. She asked:

"Your Highness, what brings you here at this hour? Please speak plainly."

"Can't you come and see the Crown Princess if there's nothing wrong? I've missed her for days and haven't been able to sleep at night."

After saying that, Qin Li suddenly reached out from behind and hugged Pei Qingluan.

Pei Qingluan was startled and tried to break free.

But the man's hot chest enveloped her tightly, making it impossible for her to break free.

The heat wave came from her ears, making them turn red.

Qin Li said, "Princess Consort, why be shy? I know you are different from ordinary women."

If Pei Qingluan were just an ordinary woman from a noble family, Qin Li wouldn't have married her.

He married Pei Qingluan, a woman of true character, unruly and disregarding rules.

state!

Upon hearing this, Pei Qingluan clenched her fists and raised her arm, giving Qin Li, who was hugging her, a slap.

Given Qin Li's cultivation level, Pei Qingluan had no chance of hitting him.

However, Qin Li didn't try to dodge and was punched squarely in the eye socket by Pei Qingluan.

hiss--

Qin Li loosened his grip in pain and clutched his right eye tightly.

After being hit, Qin Li laughed even more happily: "Yes, that's it, that's exactly the kind of Crown Princess I like."

Pei Qingluan was stunned, looking at Qin Li in disbelief.

Does Qin Li have some kind of problem? Does he like being hit?

Loosening her fist and continuing to pick out hairpins, Pei Qingluan said with obvious disdain:

"Your Highness, you should find a doctor to take a good look at him. I don't want my husband to become an idiot in the future."

Qin Li said, "You don't understand."

"What do you know?"

Pei Qingluan asked.

Qin Li said, "Jiangnan is not like the capital. My Crown Princess cannot be a weak woman who can be bullied, hit, or scolded without fighting back."

"Does Your Highness think I am such a weak woman?"

Pei Qingluan asked.

"Of course not."

Qin Li said, "I'm just reminding you that once you get to the capital, don't hold back, or others will think you're weak and will bully you at will."

"Although I can protect you, I don't want to protect you forever."

"Does Your Highness mean that I must be independent and strong, and not let others look down on me or bully me?" Qingluan asked.

"Yes, that's exactly what I mean."

"Then what's the point of me marrying His Highness the Crown Prince? What kind of man is he if he can't even protect his own woman?" Pei Qingluan said.

Qin Li countered, "Are you the kind of woman who likes to need a man to protect her?"

After that, Pei Qingluan fell silent.

Of course she wasn't. She was stronger than anyone thought, and no one could bully her.

Over the years, even Pei Yunhe in the Pei family has not dared to cause her trouble, which shows how formidable and capable she is.

"In short, once you arrive in the capital, you must let the world know that the Crown Princess is not someone to be trifled with, just as people tremble with fear at the mere mention of my name."

Pei Qingluan sneered: "Does His Highness mean I should also be the villain?"

Qin Li spread his hands: "Why not? What's wrong with being a villain? Hasn't the Crown Princess heard the saying, 'I'd rather betray the world than let the world betray me'?"

After listening, Pei Qingluan nodded: "Alright, alright, since His Highness the Crown Prince has said so, I can't disobey. Anyway, I never intended to restrain my temper. After we get to the capital, whoever makes me unhappy, I'll make them even more unhappy. No one can mess with me or get the better of me."

After saying that, Pei Qingluan asked again, "Is there anything else? If not, Your Highness, please leave. My wedding day with Your Highness is in three days. Your Highness's arrival at this time is already very impolite and will cause gossip."

Qin Li sat down next to Pei Qingluan with a nonchalant air. "Etiquette? We two are the last people who need etiquette."

"I've already been much more restrained today, not sharing a room with the Crown Princess directly."

Upon hearing this, Pei Qingluan really wanted to punch Qin Li again.

How could there be such a shameless man in the world?

How did such a shameless man become the crown prince?

Whether having such a crown prince is a blessing or a curse for the Great Zhou Dynasty is unknown.

"Alright, alright, Your Highness has already toned it down a lot. But I beg Your Highness, please go back quickly. In three days, Your Highness only needs to send someone to fetch the bride, while I need to prepare a lot of things. I've been exhausted these past few days. Please have pity on me."
