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

Upon hearing Qi Yanhe's words, the Third Princess's slight displeasure vanished instantly.

A happy smile spread across her face.

Qi Zhiyu glanced at Emperor Kangwu speechlessly.

How exactly did the Emperor raise his children?

Emperor Kangwu: "..."

Why are you looking at him?

He was wronged too!

Every child has a teacher!

They taught us all!

As the emperor, he had so many things to deal with that he could only ask his children a few questions about their studies when he saw them.

Do you expect him to pay attention to every little detail?

Qi Zhiyu saw the grievance in Emperor Kangwu's eyes, thought for a moment, and then turned back.

Well, my grandfather had it tough too.

Emperor Kangwu felt a little better. "Hmph, at least this girl has a conscience."

Eh?

wrong!

She was the one who first accused him with her eyes.

She's his granddaughter!

Why did he want to complain and explain to her?

Isn't he the elder?

Emperor Kangwu was depressed.

"The Prince and the Third Princess are truly a loving couple." Qi Zhiyu clapped her hands.

"The prince also dotes on the third princess exceptionally."

The third princess said smugly, "Of course."

She slightly raised her chin, with a hint of provocation.

Qi Zhiyu is favored by her father, the emperor, but don't forget, she is also pampered by her husband.

She's no less capable than Qi Zhiyu!

Qi Yan looked at the Third Princess with doting eyes, his gaze so focused that it seemed as if the Third Princess was his whole world.

"In this life, if I don't cherish her, who else can I cherish?"

Qi Zhiyu laughed heartily: "I have truly witnessed the prince's favor."

"The prince's favor has spoiled the Third Princess so much that she's become lawless, forgetting she's a princess of Da Rui, and allowing her subjects to humiliate the royal family?"

Qi Yanhe: "..."

The Third Princess: "..."

The King of Wu felt a sudden darkness before his eyes.

What does Qi Zhiyu want to do?

Wasn't ruining his mother enough?

"The current Third Princess is merely the Princess Consort of Qi, not my Princess Da Rui," Qi Zhiyu said with a light laugh. "I have witnessed firsthand the favor the Prince of Qi bestows upon her."

"If the Queen Consort of Qi were to use her status as Princess of Da Rui to do something in Da Rui in the future..."

Qi Zhiyu clicked her tongue in disbelief: "Grandfather, you are so careless with your own daughter. If she ruins the Great Rui and becomes a ruler of a fallen kingdom, you will be the eternal sinner of the Great Rui!"

The ministers: "..."

Princess Chen'an's accusations were getting increasingly outrageous!

Just moments ago, the Wei family rebelled, and now His Majesty has become a ruler of a fallen kingdom.

Princess Chen'an, you really dare to speak your mind.

"Father, I would never do anything to betray Da Rui!" the Third Princess quickly defended herself.

"Chen An, stop spouting nonsense and slandering me!"

Even Qi Yanhe hurriedly spoke up: "Princess, you have really misunderstood."

"The Third Princess would never do such a thing, and I would never use such despicable means to take advantage of my beloved."

"Am I really overthinking this?" Qi Zhiyu's suspicious gaze swept over the Third Princess and Qi Yanhe.

"You're overthinking it!" the third princess said angrily.

How dare Qi Zhiyu arbitrarily pin charges on her?

No matter what, she would never betray Da Rui or harm her own father.

"Your Highness is overthinking it," Qi Yanhe said with a helpless wry smile.

"Oh dear, I really was overthinking it," Qi Zhiyu said with a smile.

"I thought you were dissatisfied with the terms at the banquet that day and deliberately made the Third Princess listen to the words of a mere subject to suppress me, so as to find an opportunity to renegotiate those terms."

"If that's not the case, then those terms certainly won't change."

Qi Yan froze.

This Qi Zhiyu...

How could she have imagined that he would find an opportunity to renegotiate the terms?

The letter he sent back to his elder brother was to ask his brother to find a reason to put on a show with him, and then talk to Da Rui again.

Qi Zhiyu's move has effectively blocked that path.

"That's good, that's good." Qi Zhiyu laughed heartily.

"Otherwise, I would have thought that Qi Yan and you were deliberately using your love to spoil our Third Princess and benefit your Qi Kingdom."

"But thinking about it, it makes sense. How could you, a prince, be the kind of shameless scoundrel who would use your woman for your own purposes?"

"I imagine your elder brother, the King of Qi, wouldn't just stand by and watch his younger brother, a prince of Qi, do such a disgraceful thing."

"The ruler of Qi should have the demeanor of a monarch; such despicable methods... should be beneath his notice."

"Right, Qi Yanhe, Prince Qi?"

Qi Yanhe felt as disgusted as if he had swallowed a rat from a sewer.

But unfortunately, in this situation, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he could only go along with what Qi Zhiyu said.

Could it be that he's going to admit he's a despicable and shameless scoundrel?

Even his elder brother, the ruler of their Qi Kingdom, is not worthy of being emperor?

"Of course, it's a misunderstanding, Princess." Qi Yanhe forced a stiff smile.

Qi Zhiyu nodded repeatedly: "It was indeed a misunderstanding on my part."

"However... Third Princess, why did you listen to the words of a mere court lady and fail to uphold the dignity of the royal family?" Qi Zhiyu looked at the Third Princess with a puzzled expression.

"Could it be that you're dissatisfied with me?"

"But this is our first time meeting."

"If I am nailed to the pillar of shame, it will be a disgrace to my father, my grandfather, and the entire royal family of Da Rui."

"What exactly are you thinking?"

Qi Yanhe: "..."

Is this Qi Zhiyu never going to stop?

What exactly is she trying to do?

"Where does your hostility towards me come from?" Qi Zhiyu asked, looking at the Third Princess with pleading eyes, waiting for an answer.

The third princess subconsciously looked at the King of Wu.

King Wu gritted his teeth; he finally understood what it meant to have nothing to say.

"Eh? Third Princess, you wouldn't be doing this to avenge the King of Wu, would you?" Qi Zhiyu immediately pointed it out.

"I..." The Third Princess was about to speak when Qi Yanhe pulled her back.

"Princess, the Third Princess has been living in my Qi Kingdom for many years without experiencing any hardships, so she is quite innocent and naive," Qi Yanhe explained.

"The Third Princess was also exceptionally favored when she was in the Great Rui Kingdom."

"Otherwise, His Majesty wouldn't have ceded the benefits to the Qi Kingdom for the sake of the Third Princess."

The third princess was shocked; that's not what he told her.

Didn't he say that Da Rui benefited from the deal back then, and that Father Emperor is now deliberately using his love for her as an excuse?

Why does he keep changing his story?

Which one is true?

"Now that the Third Princess has seen His Majesty's favor towards the Princess, she is a little jealous, which is why she threw a tantrum." Qi Yanhe cupped his hands to Qi Zhiyu.

"I have offended the princess, and I apologize to her here."

"I have also brought some treasures with me this time. I will send someone to Prince Rui's residence later. It is just a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it, Princess."

"So it was the Third Princess throwing a tantrum. Alright then." Qi Zhiyu nodded, accepting this explanation.

Qi Yanhe secretly breathed a sigh of relief; he had finally managed to fool them.

He was relieved, but the King of Wu felt something was amiss.

Qi Zhiyu's move is definitely not that simple!

He's learned from experience, having suffered losses and learned from his mistakes!
