After she finished speaking, she closed her eyes and stuck out her delicate little face.
With an air of righteousness, she seemed unafraid of facing death.
Pulling the Little Fairy back, Ye Zhi snorted lightly: "Are you stupid, Qinglian? I want to see if the Crown Prince’s authority can reach me today. To hit a common girl without any discernment is simply allowing officials to set fires while prohibiting the people from lighting lamps. I will tell my father about this and have him report it to the Emperor."
Indeed, she was sharp-tongued, no wonder Qingxi was aggrieved in front of her.
Li Changnian gritted his teeth and said, "Qingxi, hit her. If anything happens, I’ll take responsibility."
On the side, Liu Qingxi coldly smiled in her heart, outwardly showing no emotion, timidly asking, "Changnian, I don’t dare. I’m afraid the Ye Family will cause trouble for my family."
Her hand inside the sleeve was already preparing to flex her muscles, waiting for the chance to give back two hard slaps.
If you dare to hit me, you must pay the price.
"Hit her."
With three harsh words, the dignity of the Royal Family was fully displayed.
People eating nearby were also affected by the commotion, stretching their necks to watch, paying attention like they were watching a show.
With someone backing her, Liu Qingxi walked toward Ye Zhi, looking like she would teach a lesson.
The sky was darkening and the storm was looming.
The Little Traitor would never let anyone bully Ah Zhi. Coming over from the opposite side, he shielded her behind him: "The Emperor is benevolent and deeply revered by the masses. The Crown Prince’s actions here risk chilling the holy heart."
Chilling the holy heart, these four heavy words weighed on Li Changnian’s mind. At this time, he cared little for them. Today he must discipline the Chief of Staff’s young daughter: "I have my considerations. Qingxi, I will back you up."
This statement also gave the girl in red confidence.
The companions nearby watched anxiously, ready to step up and help Ah Zhi at any moment if something went wrong.
Ye Zhi was afraid Liu Qingxi would really act, hurriedly pulling the Little Traitor away. Standing close to him, by comparison, it seemed he had grown a bit taller, though still not as tall as her.
The Little Traitor didn’t know what she was thinking, otherwise tonight he would sink into depression again!
To grow taller, he had been eating well and getting up early to practice martial arts and swordsmanship.
Although his current skills were still mediocre...
Liu Qingxi raised her hand and said, "Apologies." Reaching out, she attempted to slap the girl in the pink dress.
At that moment, the girl in pink quickly reached out, grabbing her wrist tightly.
The sister restrained the person, Huanhuan cheered and encouraged from the side: "Ah Zhi, well done, you didn’t embarrass our Jinmo Courtyard."
"Of course, under Mr. Qian Wei’s thoughtful guidance (devilish training), an ordinary cat’s-paw skill is not our match." Complemented, Ye Zhi puffed up, speaking boldly.
"Exactly! I, Yangzhou’s Heroine Tan Huanhuan, haven’t even stepped in yet. Such a small matter is just for you to handle."
"Alright, I am, I am..." Ye Zhi also wanted to come up with a jianghu title. She hesitated for a long time, unable to think of one.
Suddenly, her eyes brightened, she had an idea.
"Ye Zhi of the Huashan Sect."
The two collaborated seamlessly, leaving the girl in red fuming. Her wrist was firmly caught, unable to struggle free.
Plotting a move, she looked pitifully at the Crown Prince nearby, wanting to speak but holding back.
Seeing this expression, Crown Prince Li Changnian could not bear it and aggressively commanded: "Ji San, are you not going up yet? What’s the use of having you?"
Ji San had been silently chanting to himself not to be noticed, not to be noticed, not to... until suddenly his hopes were dashed.
