Qi Jingxi slammed his hand on the table, and Prince Rui and the others glared at him. What was this kid up to now?
"Sis, thank goodness you're my sis! Not Qi Jinghong's." Qi Jingxi laughed heartily, "Thank goodness, thank goodness... Ouch!"
Qi Jingxi was furious: "Father, why did you hit me again?"
Prince Rui sneered, "Could the King of Wu and his wife possibly have produced a child as good as Yu'er?"
"It's my fault and your mother's fault."
"Hahaha!"
Prince Rui laughed triumphantly, looking up at the sky.
Princess Rui smiled, then quietly reached out and pinched Prince Rui's waist.
Prince Rui's laughter stopped abruptly, and the cry of pain that was on the tip of his tongue was swallowed back down.
He just stared at his wife in disbelief.
Why are you twisting him?
pain……
Princess Rui glared at him.
Why are you talking nonsense in front of children?
Prince Rui immediately understood and coughed lightly: "Qi Yanhe is going back. He suffered some losses during his trip to Da Rui."
Qi Jingxi chuckled inwardly; his father was really conservative in his speech.
Is that what you call a loss?
He felt that if the losses continued, the King of Qi would kill Qi Yanhe.
Or the kind that involves being torn to pieces.
"I always felt that he would do something," Prince Rui said, frowning.
Put yourself in others' shoes.
If he were Qi Yanhe, he would either kill the culprit or skin him alive!
Princess Rui, Qi Jingchen, and Qi Jingxi all looked at Qi Zhiyu with concern.
Qi Zhiyu was a little uncomfortable being the center of attention all of a sudden.
"I did have a calamity with him..." Qi Zhiyu said truthfully.
Princess Rui said, "They need to reinforce and repair their carriages before they go back, and they'll need to buy a lot of things. They'll also need horse feed and provisions for the journey."
"I'll take care of things here and make sure they don't have any accidents on the way."
Qi Jingxi chuckled coldly: "It's perfectly normal for someone to encounter robbers in the wilderness."
"In the middle of nowhere, it's reasonable to encounter some animal traps or something."
Qi Jingchen pondered, "If spies from other countries discover Qi Yan's whereabouts on the way back, it would be perfect for a sneak attack and assassination, which would be quite good."
Princess Rui nodded: "Let's do it that way."
Qi Jingchen and Qi Jingxi nodded in agreement: "Okay."
Qi Zhiyu: "..."
Prince Rui scolded, "Stop this nonsense! What kind of terrible ideas are these?"
Princess Rui and her two children looked at Prince Rui.
Prince Rui said, "If something happens within the territory of Da Rui, it will inevitably affect Da Rui as well."
"It would be more reasonable if, at the border, a riot broke out, and Qi Yan and the others were unfortunately caught up in it and died.
Qi Jingchen clapped his hands and laughed heartily, "Father is absolutely right!"
"Dad, that's a great idea!" Qi Jingxi agreed.
Princess Rui nodded in satisfaction.
Qi Zhiyu: "..."
This made her realize why she prioritized merging with her remnant soul in this world.
This family...and she really...gets along well!
"No need for that," Qi Zhiyu said with a smile. "The King of Wu will be involved in this ordeal."
"What might be a calamity for others is a disaster for me..."
"I'm more curious to know what good things the King of Wu will send this time."
Prince Rui frowned: "Yu'er, there's no need to take the risk."
"Da Rui, this is not your own responsibility."
"That's right," Qi Jingxi said, patting her chest. "Sis, we're here."
Qi Jingchen and Princess Rui nodded in unison.
Qi Zhiyu smiled and said, "But I like to see them stumble and fall when they're about to succeed in their scheme."
"It's hilarious, it's really funny."
"Life is too boring if you always have to find some fun in it."
Princess Rui smiled and said indulgently, "Yu'er, do whatever you want to do."
"We're always here. Just let us know if you need anything."
"Your father, your eldest brother, and your second brother, come immediately."
Prince Rui and the others nodded.
Qi Zhiyu smiled and sweetly agreed, "Okay."
Qi Jingxi looked left and right to make sure there were no other problems before asking, "Sis, do you think life is pretty peaceful now?"
Qi Zhiyu looked at him, puzzled.
Her eyes were clear and innocent, like a naive fawn in the forest. However, Qi Jingxi was no longer calm.
"Yu'er, go and rest." Princess Rui knew that her second son had started having another episode, so she urged her daughter to go first.
"Mm," Qi Zhiyu replied and returned to her own courtyard.
As soon as she left, Qi Jingxi slammed her hand on the table, her lips trembling slightly and her eyes reddening.
Qi Jingchen didn't say anything, he just patted him on the shoulder.
"Brother..." Qi Jingxi looked up, her face full of pain.
He's feeling unwell!
He felt sorry for him!
What exactly did his sister go through?
For her, this life-or-death, perilous struggle for the throne was nothing more than a peaceful and uneventful life.
"Alright," Prince Rui scolded, "If you're worried about your sister, then work harder and take good care of Yu'er in the future."
"What's done in the past can't be changed, but won't we be able to do things differently in the future?"
"Yes." Qi Jingxi nodded vigorously.
Princess Rui's vision blurred. She felt sorry for her daughter, but also gratified that her two sons knew how to care for their sister.
"Hehe... King Wu still wants to compete with my father? We have my sister! What does he have?" Qi Jingxi suddenly laughed smugly.
He immediately received disdainful looks from his family.
Is his emotion jumping around too fast?
Regardless, everyone still attended the farewell banquet hosted by the Third Princess, Qi Yanhe.
Qi Zhiyu was responsible for eating and drinking, and also for taking care of Princess Rui.
The food was quite delicious in this setting.
It's just that nobody really touches their chopsticks; everyone wants to maintain appearances.
These things had nothing to do with Qi Zhiyu; she was enjoying her meal immensely.
If they found something delicious or something they liked, they could simply summon a palace maid and have another serving served.
She managed to make the palace banquet feel like a restaurant.
Most people have gotten used to it, but there are still some who can't stand it.
Princess Wu watched coldly. Although she never left the Wu Prince's residence, she had to attend such occasions.
However, she remained aloof and did not seem to want to speak with the other ladies.
However, this doesn't mean she wasn't angry.
The thought of her son being beaten, and that Qi Jingchen was about to take away his rightful place, made her extremely unhappy.
Not to mention, everyone else was very proper, but Qi Zhiyu ate and drank so casually.
In Qi Zhiyu's eyes, this was not a banquet in the palace, but a casual meal at home.
This feeling infuriated the Queen of Wu.
Have the people of Prince Rui's mansion already considered the throne to be theirs for the taking?
"The princess has quite an appetite," said Princess Wu.
Qi Zhiyu looked over and said with a smile, "That's right."
She glanced at the almost untouched food on the table in front of Princess Wu, and asked with a smile, "Princess Wu, you have no appetite? Is it because you're having a hard time?"
