Chapter 567: Chapter 566: 566: You Seem to Be Quite Eager to See Me

Li Xiu scratched his head and said softly, “My dear sister Huang Ying, after all, I am following the Crown Prince, and I have to save face in front of others. But how dare I do that in front of you.”

“Hehe!”

Huang Ying sneered coldly, “What are you afraid of? For example, today, the Crown Prince went to Concubine Li’s room early in the morning. When you were waiting outside, couldn’t you tell someone? Chunlai went to inquire several times, but you didn’t reveal anything. If I hadn’t gone there myself, would you tell me? The Princess Consort has been waiting all night, you’ll see the consequences later!”

Li Xiu hurriedly apologized with a bow, “Sister, please don’t be angry, I really can’t be blamed for this.”

“If not you, then who?”

“His Highness didn’t allow anyone to reveal his whereabouts.” Li Xiu frowned with a pale face, “Our relationship is different from others, sister, you know that if I could send a message, wouldn’t I want to please the Princess Consort?”

“Why did you finally agree to tell me?”

“That was when His Highness relaxed his restrictions and asked what the Princess Consort was doing. At that time, I knew that His Highness would definitely come tonight, so I dared to muster up the courage and tell you. Isn’t that why he’s here now?”

“Hehe, with your mouth, no wonder the Crown Prince values you and lets you follow him. In the future, I’ll have to watch your face.”

“Sister, don’t tease me. When I first entered the palace and was bullied, it was you who helped me. I will never forget this kindness for the rest of my life.”

“That’s enough, you don’t need to mention it. I just want you to know what kind of person lives in this room, if you dare to favor one and discriminate against the other, you’ll have a good time in the future.”

Li Xiu hurriedly slapped his own face, “Am I crazy? Don’t I know that our Princess Consort is the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister’s Mansion and gave birth to a pair of boy and girl twins? Do I dare to favor Concubine Li who has no family background or identity?”

“As long as you know! If something like this happens again in the future, you’d better be flexible.” Huang Ying whispered, “You won’t go wrong if you listen to me.”

“Yes, yes, I remember.”

Li Xiu felt a little puzzled in his heart, but didn’t say more, only nodding his head in agreement.

Li Hongyuan entered the bedroom and was immediately enveloped by a warmth filled with an intriguing fragrance.

It was intoxicating.

Li Hongyuan took a deep breath, feeling that some of the alcohol had dissipated.

He looked at the bed.

Within the layers of curtains, a figure lay on its side, faint and indistinct.

“Didn’t you say you’ve woken up?” Li Hongyuan said.

There was no response from the bed.

Li Hongyuan approached, lifted the curtain, and looked down.

The woman on the bed slept soundly with her eyes closed, her arm exposed, revealing the delicate curve of her neck and shoulders.

When she slept, her long eyelashes drooped, her cheeks as white as the first snow with a hint of pink.

Li Hongyuan was reminded of a baby’s sleeping face.

He quietly watched for a moment, then reached out and gently pinched her rosy cheeks.

Warm and soft.

Li Hongyuan’s gaze became a little distant.

The young girl on the bed had already opened her eyes.

When a man suddenly appeared at the head of the bed where she had been sound asleep, Jiang Ning, who was used to sleeping alone, felt a moment of panic.

But she quickly reacted, her body remaining still and her voice still raspy from sleep, “How did you get here?”

“Didn’t you invite me over?”

“Didn’t you stay in Li Yuanyuan’s room?”

“When did I say that?” Li Hongyuan withdrew his hand, stood with his hands behind his back, and said lightly, “It seems like you really want to see me. Tell me, what’s the matter?”
