Chapter 298: The Crown Prince Finally Noted Me
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Yu Wanqing opened her mouth, finding a justified excuse, “It was just a quarrel between young ladies.”
Liu Yan’er’s face turned pale as she glared at Liu Shimei, thinking, ‘This sl*t, she deliberately pulled me out to get me to be rejected by the Crown Prince, right?’
Can a mere quarrel cause such a leg injury?
But at this moment, she could not refute Yu Wanqing’s statement and followed suit, saying, “Your Highness, what Princess Ping’an said is true. It was just a small misunderstanding last night. We had a few arguments, and it wasn’t as serious as my elder sister described.”
Those who were lucky enough to see the scene could not help but snort.
Surprisingly, although Liu Yaner had a falling-out with Liu Shimei earlier, she still acted like a delicate white lotus outside.
She behaved gently, especially in front of the Crown Prince, speaking in a soft and gentle voice.
Yu Wanqing couldn’t stand Liu Shimei’s high-and-mighty demeanor or Liu Yaner’s act. She snorted coldly in her heart, suppressing her domineering expression on her face, and said, “Cousin Crown Prince, it’s true that Miss Liu injured her leg again. In the end, it’s my fault, and 1 will take full responsibility!”
She dared to promise to take responsibility because she had already inquired and knew that Liu Yan’er’s leg would recover with proper rest.
Huangfu He did not care about their entanglement. They were all candidates for the Crown Princess, but he only had Liu Shimei in mind. He did not care about anyone else.
And now…
The plan he thought of was indeed the best one. He would give the position to Liu Yan’er. After all, Liu Yan’er was unlikely to stand up again. If Liu Shimei was willing, Liu Yan’er would eventually have to give up her position. They were all from the Liu family, so Liu Fuyun could not have any objections.
With this thought in mind, he said, “Since Second Miss Liu has injured her leg, she should rest more.”
Liu Yan’er didn’t know whether he was saying this because he despised her for dragging her leg injury to the flower viewing party, or because he was concerned about her. “Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern. Yaner originally planned to return to the Grand Chancellor’s Residence today, but I thought it would be proper to bid farewell to the Crown Prince before leaving, so 1 came here.”
She had already found a reason.
Huangfu He nodded. “Never mind, try not to move your injured leg. 1 will have more people sent to take care of you.”
Liu Yan’er’s heart was filled with joy as she thought, ‘The Crown Prince finally noticed me!’
Of course, she thanked him gently. “Thank you, Your Highness!”
Sitting across from them, Liu Shimei kept her eyes fixed on the cup in front of her, a cold shiver running down her spine.
She thought that she had made things clear with Huangfu He, and he would have to accept reality no matter how unwilling he was. However, seeing that he actually extended an olive branch to Liu Yan’er, Liu Yan’er, who did not know the truth, happily accepted it. She did not know that she would become a scapegoat!
Huangfu He clearly wanted Liu Yan’er to take the position of Crown Princess. In the future, when Liu Shimei nodded her approval, he would kick Liu Yaner out and let Liu Shimei take her place.
However, Liu Shimei was unwilling to accept this fact. The people of the royal family were all as scheming as honeycomb briquettes!
Suddenly, a peeled loquat was delivered to her.
Liu Shimei raised her head and smiled at her silly puppy. “Wife, you have to eat!”
That bright and radiant smile instantly cured the chill in her heart!
