Chapter 191: Prince Li Qi
Chapter 191: Prince Li Qi

"Your Highness, since you are out for an outing, you must be very bored. Fortunately, there are many of us here, so why not recite poems and sing songs together, which is also a joy in life."

As soon as Li Qi finished speaking, he stared at the reaction in the carriage nervously.

In the carriage, Zhu Huan suddenly became interested.

Just as Li Liqi said, she was already tired of staying in the deep palace all day long. Even when she went out for an outing, she was only accompanied by Zhu'er.

After all, they are young people by nature, so how could they not want to have more playmates of the same age?

After thinking for a while, Zhu Huan's voice came from the carriage: "Since the prince has invited you so kindly, I will bother you."

Upon hearing this, Li Qi almost jumped up with excitement.

He secretly made up his mind that he must capture this so-called eldest daughter of the emperor and see what the difference is between the body of a descendant of the emperor and that of an ordinary whore in a brothel.

Ye Xuan wanted to speak out to stop them. Although everyone here is the second generation and should not pose any danger to Zhu Huan, after all, Yunlong is a mixed bag with all kinds of people. If any trouble occurs, he will be the one to bear the responsibility.

But when Ye Xuan caught a glimpse of Li Qi's excited expression, he suddenly had an idea.

In history, Princess Lin'an Zhu Huan married Li Qi, perhaps this was the reason.

If these two could follow the historical trajectory, then I wouldn't have to worry about the tragic fate of being captured by Zhu Yuanzhang to be his son-in-law!

Thinking of this, his slightly opened mouth closed silently again.

After Zhu Huan got off the car, everyone naturally had to go through another round of red tape.

It was not until Zhu Huan asked everyone not to be so polite several times that these second-generation people became convinced that the Crown Princess was indeed very easy-going, and the scene suddenly became lively.

People came to flatter him and dragged him to play all the games that young people of that era loved to play.

The men played Go, Cuju, and Touhu, or drank and played games, and occasionally they pretended to quote scriptures and discuss Taoism, recite poems and compose couplets;
The women were all actors and actresses invited by the painted boats, brothels or the Music Bureau. From time to time they would play the piano or paint, or perform a classic song and dance. Or they would invite Zhu Huan to pick flowers and butterflies, fly kites, or play shuttlecock. Zhu Huan felt that he had never been so happy in his life, and he had a lot of fun for a while.

Ye Xuan watched silently from the side, thinking, just have fun, maybe you will fall in love with Li Qi while having fun, and live a shameless and happy life with her from then on.

Then, I can feel at ease.

Gradually, they got tired of playing and sat down to rest.

Li Qi suddenly said, "Today we are at a gathering, and it is rare that Her Royal Highness the eldest daughter of the Emperor has joined us. How about we each write a poem and ask Her Royal Highness to comment on it?"

When everyone heard this, they all laughed in their hearts.

If Zhu Huan hadn't arrived suddenly, Li Qi, as the initiator of this gathering, had originally planned to hold an open-air gathering with seats spread out under the sky. But now it has been abruptly changed into an elegant gathering, and poetry has to be written.

This made the second generation, actors and famous prostitutes who knew the inside story couldn't help laughing.

However, Zhu Huan didn't know what everyone was laughing at, nor did he care. He just listened to Li Qi's suggestion to hold a poetry reading, and couldn't help but glance at Ye Xuan who was not far away.

However, Li Qi did not notice that the reason he proposed to hold a poetry meeting was because he heard that Zhu Huan liked poetry and books, so he wanted to please her and win her heart.

Naturally, no one rejected Li Qi's suggestion and they all spoke out in agreement.

But when everyone was thinking hard, Zhu Huan suddenly stood up, walked to Ye Xuan in front of everyone's surprised gaze, and said gently: "Captain Ye, since everyone is in such a good mood, why don't you also compose a poem?" Ye Xuan swore that he had no idea what was wrong with the eldest princess Zhu Huan. Why did she ask him, a captain of the guards, to compose a poem for no reason?

This is even more unacceptable than asking him to perform martial arts on the spot.

Everyone was also puzzled, wondering if it was possible that the Crown Princess had known this annoying Jinyiwei for a long time?
Li Qi was even more angry. In his heart, he had already regarded Zhu Huan as his exclusive lover who would not allow anyone else to touch her. However, Zhu Huan spoke so gently to another man, which was a little unacceptable to him.

Even though he didn't think that the eldest daughter of the emperor would have any feelings for a Jinyiwei, it was purely a man's possessiveness and jealousy at work.

Ye Xuan immediately refused and said, "Your Highness, please stop joking. I am just a warrior and I don't know how to write poems or couplets."

However, Zhu Huan smiled playfully, approached Ye Xuan and whispered: "I don't see the tombs of the heroes of Wuling, there are no flowers and no wine, and I am just hoeing the fields. Should I call you Ye Qianhu or Ye Liangchen?"

Ye Xuan was suddenly speechless.

However, from the perspective of Li Qi and others, this scene appeared to be Zhu Huan whispering something in Ye Xuan's ear in a very intimate manner.

They looked like a loving young couple, showing their affection in public.

Before Ye Xuan could refuse, someone immediately said sarcastically: "Your Highness, please don't embarrass a warrior. How can a Jinyiwei like him know what poetry is?"

Li Qi also sneered, and said in a sympathetic manner: "That's right, Your Highness, please don't embarrass him. After all, we have all been well-read since childhood. Asking us to compete with him in poetry, isn't this just adults bullying children?"

"This is an unfair victory, this is an unfair victory!"

The others also agreed with this. Some of them were harsh and said that Ye Xuan might not even be able to read.

Ye Xuan just sneered. If it wasn't for the purpose of letting Li Qi show off more in front of Zhu Huan so that he could replace him and escape from the sea of ​​suffering, he would have retorted long ago.

However, in the eyes of these second-generations, this scene undoubtedly became clear evidence that Ye Xuan was uneducated and did not dare to fight.

Seeing that everyone's words were somewhat offensive, Zhu Huan looked at Ye Xuan with some guilt and whispered:

"I'm sorry, Captain Ye. I didn't mean it. I didn't expect..."

Ye Xuan naturally knew that Zhu Huan did not intend to embarrass him, so he did not take it seriously and said:

"This matter has nothing to do with you. Besides, I am indeed an unlearned person."

Zhu Huan said angrily: "With your poetic talent, if you are considered unlearned, then don't they become clowns?"

Ye Xuan couldn't help but be amused by Zhu Huan's frankness. To be honest, if it weren't for the other party's identity, he really wouldn't mind having some contact with him.

However, this scene of chatting and laughing became the evidence of Ye Xuan's shamelessness in the eyes of everyone. Even when he was ridiculed, he was still only concerned with pleasing the eldest princess.

Li Qi's heart was about to explode with anger. He could no longer tolerate Zhu Huan whispering with a low-level Jinyiwei like Ye Xuan in front of him.

If this scene spread out, even if he got Zhu Huan in the future, he would be laughed at.

"Captain, right?" Li Qi walked up to the two of them, suppressed his jealousy and pretended to be humble, saying, "Since His Highness has invited you so kindly, why do you have to ruin everyone's fun?"
