Chapter 193 Falling in love with her
As the youngest princess of the royal family, Li Keren was deeply favored by the emperor. In addition, her biological mother was of high status, so she had been spoiled by everything since she was a child. This also cultivated her arrogant and domineering character, which could be said to be even worse than Li Qinyuan.
Thinking of this, Xu Yingying smiled sarcastically. It is true that birds of a feather flock together.
Soon the group arrived at the teahouse. At this time, Li Qinyuan was the last one to arrive. Li Keren saw Li Qinyuan and said with a smile, "Why are you late today? Did you see something interesting on the way?"
Upon hearing this, Li Qinyuan snorted proudly, "How many bad things can be favored by this young lady? Look, this is what I saw on the street just now. It's very beautiful, and it's not inferior to my cousin the Crown Prince."
As she spoke, Li Qinyuan signaled to the guards to push Xu Yingying forward.
Xu Yingying looked serious and expressionless, but she staggered when the guard pushed her. Then, a trace of humiliation appeared on her face.
Glancing around at the noble ladies around her, Xu Yingying had an idea in her mind. They all looked familiar. She thought they were probably the daughters of the aristocratic families centered around Li Keren and Li Qinyuan.
Li Keren followed Li Qinyuan's line of sight and saw Xu Yingying's profile. It must be said that Xu Yingying was very beautiful in women's clothing, and her appearance in men's clothing was no less beautiful. Although she did not have sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, her slightly feminine facial features matched with her overall temperament made her particularly attractive.
At first glance, Li Keren also fell in love with Xu Yingying. She turned her eyes and walked towards Xu Yingying. "This young man looks like a very suitable actor for this princess. Yuanyuan, why don't you give this young man to me?"
Li Qinyuan was immediately displeased when she heard this, "Li Keren, this is the person I fell in love with first, and you want to snatch her away right away. Do you think this is appropriate?"
As she said that, Li Qinyuan stopped Li Keren's hand from extending towards Xu Yingying.
Seeing that the two of them were getting quite close to her, Xu Yingying was a little worried that if they started arguing and bumped into her, and if they knew that she was a woman, today would not end well.
Thinking of this, Xu Yingying took a few steps back calmly, and then spoke up to interrupt Li Qinyuan and Li Keren who were about to start fighting in the next second.
"Your Highnesses, Princess and County Lord, I am just a commoner and unworthy of your attention. I still have some things to deal with at home, so I will leave first." After saying that, Xu Yingying turned and left. She was familiar with this teahouse and knew where to leave fastest.
But just this one sentence made Li Keren stop entangled with Li Qinyuan. She walked quickly to Xu Yingying and stretched out her hand to stop her. "Wait! Did the princess say you could leave? You should know who my father is. If you make me angry, do you think this small county town still has a need to exist?"
There was a cold light flashing in Xu Yingying's eyes. She didn't expect Li Keren to be so shameless. These were the lives of people in an entire city, and she just talked about them so casually.
"Then what does Your Highness the Princess want me to do?" Xu Yingying simply didn't leave and asked directly.
Li Keren was delighted and was about to say something when she was interrupted by Li Qinyuan, "Li Keren! Don't think I don't know what you are planning. If the emperor finds out, you're doomed!"
When Li Keren heard Li Qinyuan say this, a trace of embarrassment flashed across her face. The other noble ladies around her saw that the atmosphere was a little strange and hurried forward to persuade them.
The two people who were about to fight were separated, and Xu Yingying stood aside to join in the fun, quietly watching the group of girls in front of her chattering.
After a long time, as if they were persuaded, the two decided to fight with words to compete for the ownership of Xu Yingying. Xu Yingying almost yawned out of boredom. After hearing the bets and content of these people, she almost couldn't control her laughter.
But Li Keren and Li Qinyuan didn't care about all this. They sat at a table each and started reciting poems and painting.
Xu Yingying had to admit that as the most influential women in the capital, these two had learned the arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting very well. At least the two works in front of her were amazing at first sight.
Xu Yingying thought for a while and said, "The skills of the two gentlemen are equally good, but I don't understand them. I just think they are equally beautiful..." The master of balancing things still let Xu Yingying take the lead.
But Li Keren and Li Qinyuan were not satisfied and they both wanted Xu Yingying to decide who was the better one. Xu Yingying was extremely troubled but she could not really offend these two people.
Just when Xu Yingying was struggling, another guard came in from the door and whispered in the ears of Li Keren and Li Qinyuan. A trace of reluctance flashed across their faces, but they still had to get up.
Li Keren snorted coldly, "It's getting late today. I have to go back to the capital. Let's just leave it at that. You can go first."
After saying that, Li Keren turned around and left first. Li Qinyuan was obviously a little unhappy, but she couldn't really go against Li Keren's words, so she had to follow her out. The other noble ladies also followed in twos and threes.
Xu Yingying finally breathed a sigh of relief. If she continued to insist, she was afraid she would not be able to continue acting, so she quickly got up and left.
As soon as Xu Yingying came out of the teahouse, she saw Li Siqi. He seemed very anxious. After seeing Xu Yingying, he walked up to her in two steps and looked her up and down several times before he felt relieved.
"Why are you here? Why don't you go home?" Li Siqi asked, but Xu Yingying could feel the deep worry in his voice.
Xu Yingying opened her mouth and was about to say something when she was interrupted by a voice behind her.
It was Li Keren and her group. They had just gone to pack up, and Xu Yingying came out alone. Unexpectedly, she was delayed by Li Siqi at the door, and ran into this group of people.
Xu Yingying's expression suddenly changed, and Li Siqi obviously noticed the voice. He looked up and met Li Keren's gaze.
Li Siqi sneered, "Who was I thinking? I didn't expect it to be you, Li Keren."
Li Keren is a few months older than Li Siqi, but Li Keren is on the prince's side, and the two have never gotten along, so Li Siqi always calls Li Keren by her name.
Xu Yingying tactfully did not say anything, but stood beside Li Siqi. At this time, Li Keren's face suddenly became gloomy.
"I didn't expect that you are Li Siqi's person. It seems that you are the County Magistrate Xu." Li Keren had heard before that Li Siqi was followed by a man with whom he had a good relationship. Now it seems that Xu Yingying is that person.
