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

"Third Princess, your husband really spoils you," Qi Zhiyu said with a smile.

The third princess proudly raised her head.

The envy in Qi Zhiyu's eyes successfully pleased her, making her incredibly proud.

"But... your children are all married, and you're still throwing tantrums to compete for favor... have you never grown up?" Qi Zhiyu asked in confusion.

The Third Princess frowned and stared at Qi Zhiyu with displeasure.

Qi Yanhe quickly interjected, "With me here, why would the Third Princess need to grow up?"

Upon hearing this, the Third Princess's face immediately filled with a shy, happy smile that was almost sickeningly sweet.

She and Qi Yanhe locked eyes, their gazes locked in a deep, almost palpable tension.

Anyone with eyes can see that they have a really good relationship.

"How wonderful!" Qi Zhiyu said enviously.

"But can you and Qi Yan guarantee that you'll treat the Third Princess well for the rest of your lives?" Qi Zhiyu asked humbly. "Can you really put the Third Princess first in everything?"

"Of course," Qi Yanhe replied without hesitation.

"Back then, for the sake of the Third Princess, I gave up the struggle for the throne of Qi..."

When the events of that year were mentioned, the Third Princess was indeed deeply moved, and the love in her eyes deepened, becoming so intense that it was impossible to ignore.

Qi Zhiyu chuckled softly, "Don't talk like you can just fight for it and it's yours."

"Back then, the ministers actually favored your elder brother, the Emperor."

"Not to mention, when his mother was in the palace, she often took care of you and your mother."

"Leaving aside whether you have the ability to defeat your elder brother, just considering that his mother is the benefactor of both you and your son, how dare you compete with your elder brother?"

Qi Zhiyu looked at Qi Yanhe, whose expression had changed drastically, with a smile, and asked in confusion, "You didn't mention any of these factors. You only emphasized that you didn't compete for that position because of the Third Princess..."

"That's an interesting way to put it."

The Third Princess looked at Qi Yanhe in disbelief.

Is that right?

Were those the reasons back then?

Qi Yanhe has been lying to her all along!

Qi Yan hurriedly explained, "Third Princess, please don't misunderstand."

"When have I ever hidden these things from you?"

"I told you before, His Majesty's mother was kind to me and my mother back then."

Upon hearing this, the Third Princess suddenly remembered.

Yes, he did say that.

Then, this doesn't count as hiding it from her.

What does Qi Zhiyu mean?

Are you deliberately trying to sow discord between them because you see they have a good relationship?

"Chen'an, what exactly do you want to do?" The Third Princess stared at Qi Zhiyu with displeasure.

Qi Zhiyu said innocently, "I was just curious."

"I've never seen a love so pure and flawless. The Third Princess always boasts about how good your relationship is as a couple, and I just want to see if your love is truly perfect."

"You're really ignorant!" the Third Princess said smugly.

Regardless of whether there are other factors involved, my husband's feelings for me are genuine.

"I have no doubt about that."

The Third Princess glanced at Qi Yanhe as she spoke.

Qi Yan was deeply moved.

The third princess felt a sweet warmth in her heart.

Their love for each other is stronger than gold, and it cannot be destroyed by Qi Zhiyu's few words!

"Chen An, you don't need to act like a petty person here!" San Gongyi sternly rebuked.

"Ah... I was overthinking it." Qi Zhiyu seemed a little regretful.

"Third Princess, I'm only doing this for your own good. You won't misunderstand and think I'm deliberately trying to sow discord between you and your husband, will you?"

"Whether it is or not, you know it in your heart." The Third Princess stared at Qi Zhiyu with her neck stiff.

Could she not see through Qi Zhiyu's little scheme?

Do you really think you can fool her like a child?

Qi Zhiyu wasn't bothered by the embarrassment of having her scheme exposed; instead, she patted her chest with a sigh of relief.

Then, she turned to Emperor Kangwu and said, "Grandfather, you see, I told you that although the Third Princess is spoiled and has become somewhat childish, she can still distinguish right from wrong."

"If someone were to say that you made concessions to Qi back then not out of pity for her, but entirely for the benefit of Da Rui... the Third Princess probably wouldn't believe such a petty person who spreads rumors in front of her."

As soon as Qi Zhiyu finished speaking, Qi Yanhe's face turned green.

The Third Princess was struck dumb, her mind went completely blank.

She stared blankly at Qi Yanhe.

Her mind was filled with Qi Yanhe's words to her.

Back then, the Emperor granted concessions to the Qi Kingdom for the sake of Qi Kingdom's cold iron.

It wasn't because I genuinely loved her.

Similarly, Qi Yan gave up the competition for the crown prince position not because he couldn't live without her, but because he didn't want to be branded as ungrateful.

The Third Princess looked at Qi Yanhe.

That was a look that Qi Yan had never seen before.

Qi Yanhe felt a chill run through his body.

It wasn't because of the Third Princess's complicated gaze.

He knows the Third Princess's personality inside and out after all these years.

What terrified him was Qi Zhiyu!

She even guessed what he would say to the Third Princess.

Moreover, in such a setting, the topic was naturally steered in that direction.

All his explanations to the Third Princess were in vain!

As expected, the King of Wu was right; Qi Zhiyu was indeed a major threat.

For the sake of their Qi Kingdom's interests, this person absolutely cannot be allowed to live.

"Jinyi," Emperor Kangwu spoke, "what did someone say to you?"

The third princess could clearly hear the cracking sounds coming from her stiff neck as she turned it.

She turned to Emperor Kangwu, her lips moved as if she wanted to say something.

She glanced at Qi Yanhe out of the corner of her eye without realizing it.

The Third Princess's heart skipped a beat when she met Qi Yanhe's gaze.

"Father, no one has said anything to me." As soon as the Third Princess spoke, a smile appeared in Qi Zhiyu's eyes.

Qi Yan breathed a sigh of relief, but secretly felt smug.

If he still can't control the Third Princess after all these years, then he is truly incompetent!

"That's good." Emperor Kangwu sighed. "You are innocent by nature and do need someone to protect you."

The third princess lowered her eyes and remained silent.

Qi Yan hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I have been by the Third Princess's side the whole time, and I would never allow anyone to bully her."

Qi Zhiyu slowly said, "That's right, the Third Princess is so innocent, anyone who bullies her is not human."

Qi Yanhe: "..."

He felt that Qi Zhiyu was subtly criticizing him.

Qi Yanhe is also a prince of the Qi Kingdom, how could he not have a temper?

He asked with a forced smile, "How could a princess insult herself?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately felt Emperor Kangwu's gaze fall on him.

Since Qi Yanhe dared to speak out, he was naturally prepared to be held accountable by Emperor Kangwu.

To his surprise, Emperor Kangwu did not speak.

Qi Zhiyu laughed: "You think I bullied the Third Princess?"

Qi Yanhe said coldly, "Isn't it obvious?"

"The Third Princess traveled a long way back to Da Rui to visit her father, only to discover that her father's affection had been shared with someone else."

"The Third Princess was somewhat unhappy, so the Princess took the opportunity to suppress her."

"She even complained to His Majesty, making the Third Princess even more heartbroken."

"Isn't this bullying?"
