The whole family is obsessed with love? The princess woke them up one after another.

His sister, however, received gifts from his grandfather.

But those were just small gifts given to young ladies as a normal reward.

It is indeed valuable, but its rarity...

Qi Jinghong glanced at the pearl on Qi Jingxi's head with a mixture of envy and jealousy.

Grandfather is so biased!

"Your Majesty is too kind," Qi Jinghong smiled slightly. "My sister grew up at home from a young age, unlike Chen'an, who makes our grandfather feel so sorry for her."

"The rewards she received naturally couldn't compare to Chen An's, so there weren't any suitable gifts for me."

Qi Jingxi's eyes held a smile, but that smile was chillingly cold.

Qi Jinghong naturally saw through it, and he deliberately stared at Qi Jingxi provocatively.

Since the two families are like oil and water, he naturally went after Qi Jingxi in the areas she cared about most.

What's the use of Qi Zhiyu getting so many good things now?

Hasn't she suffered for over ten years outside?

This is something that the Rui family can never erase or make up for.

He was unhappy and absolutely could not let the Prince Rui's family have an easy time!

"Perhaps Chen'an is worried that she will be abandoned by you again, so she gives you all the good things." Qi Jinghong sighed.

Then, he earnestly advised, "Your Majesty, you must take good care of Chen'an."

"She's had it so tough."

"Hong'er!" King Wu scolded softly, then gave Prince Rui an apologetic smile, "Children are often outspoken, please don't mind, Your Majesty."

Prince Rui chuckled: "He's just a child, why would he mind?"

"Your Majesty is truly magnanimous," King Wu said, then scolded his son, "Don't go around spouting nonsense!"

"Look how heartbroken your brother is."

Qi Jinghong immediately cupped his hands in apology to Qi Jingxi, saying, "Brother, it was my fault."

"I just feel sorry for Chen An, who has been living away from home for so many years."

Qi Jingxi shook her head: "I'm heartbroken not because of Chen An, but because of you."

"Qi Jinghong, you're so pitiful."

Qi Jinghong was stunned by what he was said and subconsciously asked, "How am I pitiful?"

The King of Wu thought to himself that something was wrong and wanted to stop his son, but the question had already been asked.

Based on his experience with Prince Rui and the others, he knew he shouldn't have responded to such a statement!

"Too young to be blind, isn't that pitiful?" Qi Jingxi's sympathetic and compassionate gaze fell on Qi Jinghong's face.

Qi Jinghong was furious. How could he be blind?

"Alright, your brother was just joking," the King of Wu said, trying to smooth things over. "Sit down, don't..."

He tried to get away with it, but Qi Jingxi wouldn't have it: "Uncle, I'm not joking."

"If Qi Jinghong weren't blind, why would he feel sorry for my sister and be afraid we'd abandon her?"

"Putting everything else aside, the ability to wipe out the Siyun tribe alone surpasses that of all other military generals."

"How could we abandon someone like that?"

"What we should be worried about is that my sister doesn't want us!"

Qi Jingxi looked at Qi Jinghong, whose face was pale, and asked with a smile, "You're wrong about one thing."

"When my sister gives me gifts, it's a way of telling me that she considers me family, and it puts my mind at ease."

"However, it's also true... Your family has never produced such a remarkable person, so you can't understand this feeling."

"After all, our imperial grandfather always gave our family good things because he was telling us that even though he was a high and mighty emperor, he still cared about us."

"Your family has no experience with this kind of thing, no wonder you don't understand."

After Qi Jingxi finished speaking, not only Qi Jinghong, but even the King of Wu turned green with rage.

Qi Jingxi's counterattack was too ruthless!

This is like tearing their hearts out and frantically slamming them to the ground, smashing them to pieces!

"Besides, if someone has feelings for another person, they will always try to be good to them," Qi Jingxi said with a smile.

"My sister wanted to give me the unique piece directly, but I didn't want it, so she gave me Dongzhu as a second choice."

Qi Jinghong was shocked. His grandfather had even bestowed upon Qi Zhiyu something even better than the Eastern Pearl.

Qi Jinghong felt as if a knife had been plunged deep into his heart.

"Your sister doesn't have anything suitable for you? If she really wants to give you something, can't she just buy it herself?" Qi Jingxi didn't quite understand.

"Why don't you exchange the other things she has for what you need, and then give them to you?"

Qi Jingxi asked, quite puzzled, "Qi Jinghong, does your sister not have anything suitable for you, or does she simply not want to give it to you?"

"In other words, you're not important enough for her to go to great lengths for you," Qi Jingxi concluded directly.

boom!

Qi Jinghong felt as if his heart was being pierced by arrows flying from all directions.

pain!

It hurts so much!

Prince Rui scolded, "What nonsense are you spouting, you little brat?"

"Luckily, your royal uncle doesn't mind!"

After saying this, King Rui smiled at King Wu and said, "These two children are really making a fool of themselves."

The King of Wu's face was so ugly it was indescribable.

Even so, the King of Wu still forced a stiff smile and nodded in agreement: "What Your Majesty says is true."

After saying this, the King of Wu picked up his teacup and drank some tea.

Qi Jinghong also turned his face away, showing through his actions that he did not want to talk to Qi Jingxi.

Qi Jingxi gave Qi Jinghong a disdainful look, then turned back.

He met his older brother's approving eyes.

Qi Jingxi's lips curled up in a smug smile, as proud as a peacock spreading its tail feathers.

Do you still want to disgust their family?

Pooh!

Let's see if he doesn't crush the King of Wu and his ilk!

Several ministers nearby overheard their conversation and looked at King Wu with mixed feelings.

If King Wu is not as good as King Rui, then why is King Wu's son not as good as King Rui?

You should know that Qi Jingxi is a notorious playboy, yet Qi Jinghong couldn't even win an argument with him.

How exactly did the King of Wu raise his children?

If the King of Wu were to ascend the throne in the future, his successor would be... this?

The King of Wu naturally anticipated the disappointment of those ministers.

He glared resentfully at his good-for-nothing son.

If you're not confident of winning against Qi Jingxi, what topic should you bring up first?

He deliberately moved closer to Qi Jingxi, eagerly inviting humiliation!

What a piece of trash!

King Wu cursed inwardly, but when he thought of the important business ahead, he quickly composed himself.

This little mishap absolutely cannot delay our important business.

At the eunuch's loud shout, Emperor Kangwu slowly walked in.

Everyone stood up and knelt down to pay their respects.

Qi Zhiyu, however, merely gave a slight curtsy.

After Emperor Kangwu sat down, he told everyone to rise.

In addition to his civil and military officials, Emperor Kangwu also brought several important concubines from the harem.

The people took their seats in turn, and the King of Wu glanced at his mother.

Consort De nodded slightly, and King Wu's heart was at ease.

The banquet was held to celebrate the destruction of the Siyun tribe, so everyone was naturally in high spirits.

Regardless of whether they were on King Wu's side or not, everyone wanted nothing more than to kill the Siyun tribe.

However, they thought of how Princess Chen'an had single-handedly crushed the Siyun tribe, and Princess Chen'an was also the daughter of Prince Rui; their opponent...

Their feelings... were indeed somewhat complicated.

Halfway through the banquet, Wei Yifeng suddenly stood up, went to the center, knelt down, and bowed: "Your Majesty."

"I wish to use my military achievements to ensure my father's safety."
