Quick Wear: The Wronged One Becomes Rebellious

Chapter 366 Princess's Skirt 12

"Really?" Li Luan asked.

Gu Li poured a cup of hot tea for Li Luan and put it in his hand. Then she sat down next to him and said, "Of course it's true. I just don't want to cause any more trouble for my brother and mother."

"How is this troublesome?"

Gu Li lowered her eyelashes and said in a somewhat depressed tone, "I know that when I was sick, you, my brother, suffered a lot of injustice, and even my mother lost a lot of weight. I feel very guilty. It was me who caused my twelfth brother to be blamed by my father."

"Little Thirteen, you-----" Li Luan couldn't continue. There was indeed a knot in his heart, but he didn't expect that the little imperial sister would feel guilty about it. He suddenly didn't know what to say.

"Brother Twelve, you blame me!"

Li Luan took a sip of hot tea and sat down at the table. "Actually, a little bit. But it's not directed at you specifically."

Gu Li followed Li Luan's example and took a sip of hot tea, listening carefully to the inner thoughts of this sensitive boy.

"My mother told me from a young age that I should respect my elder brother when I grow up. My elder brother is good at literature and how to govern a country. So my mother found a martial arts master for me and trained me to be my elder brother's right-hand man. Later, my father brought you to Fengyi Palace in your cradle. My mother smiled gently while holding you in her arms. She lowered her head and said to me that this is our little princess of Fengyi Palace and I should take good care of my younger sister. It was the first time I saw my dignified mother being so gentle and doting. But those were all yours, my little sister. I could only look up and watch."

At this point, Li Luan suddenly smiled, full of helplessness and ridicule, "Brother, are you so narrow-minded?"

Gu Li shook her head like a rattle, "No, that's not the case. I think you are the best, Twelfth Brother. Crown Prince needs your help, Thirteenth Brother needs your company, and we all can't live without you."

The water in the cup gradually cooled down, but Li Luan's hands became warmer.

"However, Royal brother cannot blame mother for not treating you gently enough." Gu Li suddenly changed the subject.

"what?"

Gu Li poured more hot tea for Li Luan, winked playfully and said, "You never praise mother's makeup like I do, or pick flowers for her hair; nor can you discuss skirt patterns with her, or try on her favorite flowery skirts over and over again; and you never hug her and act like a spoiled child and say things she likes to hear."

Li Luan raised his eyebrows. He really couldn't do the tricks that his sister usually used to please him that she mentioned.

But, this~

"You only accidentally broke the set of porcelain bowls that my mother loved the most, angered one or two martial arts masters, and then had a fight with one of my brothers. You took Ah Shao to explore the cold palace and almost fell to death. Or you took me to the zoo to see peacocks in my name, but an angry tiger almost jumped out and ate me-----"

Li Luan blushed more and more as he listened. These were indeed the things he had done before. He didn't expect that Xiao Shisan remembered them all.

"Am I that bad?"

"Anyway, I see that my mother is always worried about my twelfth brother, but she has never really ignored you."

Gu Li pouted, "But in Thirteen's heart, Twelfth Brother has always been a good brother. Except for that time when he was almost swallowed by a tiger, I have always had a lot of fun playing with Twelfth Brother! I am willing to always be Twelfth Brother's little tail."

Li Luan chuckled.

"Although Brother Twelve reluctantly took me to fly a kite and I accidentally fell into a mud pit, he still came down and picked me up after laughing for a while. Although Brother Twelve disliked me for being in the way and was unwilling to lead the foal for me, he still brought me back a big white rabbit with a broken leg-----"

Li Luan couldn't laugh anymore.

"Xiao Shisan, I didn't expect your memory to be so good, hehe~"

"Fortunately, fortunately, these are just the tip of the iceberg----"

The queen outside the palace listened to the increasingly crooked words of the son and daughter inside. She wiped her moist eyes with a handkerchief and quietly retreated with her people as she had done when she came.

After the New Year, Princess Chenxiang was eight years old.

Her New Year's wish is to have a palace of her own.

The Queen, who had overheard the conversation between the brother and sister, agreed without much thought. She had indeed neglected Little Twelve a lot over the years, and for the sake of fairness and the brother-sister relationship between the two, the Queen had to agree.

After discussing with the emperor, a palace close to Fengyi Palace was allocated, renamed Chaoyang Palace and given to the little princess.

However, the palace needs to be rearranged, so Gu Li will still live in Fengyi Palace for the time being.

The eight-year-old princess was no longer as lively and playful as before. The emperor was worried that she would be too bored staying in the harem all day, so he arranged for her to go to school in Wenhua Palace. It would probably be better if she had a few children of the same age around her.

Gu Li was too far apart in age from her royal brothers, so they did not study together. Instead, they attended an introductory class with a group of younger royal family members.

Given her noble status, no one dared to approach her. Some who dared to make friends with her were discouraged by her lukewarm attitude.

She doesn't need friends, just that no one bothers her.

Ever since the brother and sister talked it out, Li Luan would often come to see her during breaks, or bring her some snacks and toys.

During this period, Gu Li also met Shen Qingzhou once or twice. He came with Li Luan.

The two of them hardly spoke a word, as if they didn't know each other at all.

Li Luan had three study partners. Shen Qingzhou joined later and was even more dull than the teacher. He never took the initiative to play with them or participate in their discussions.

If it weren't for the fact that he saved Xiao Shisan, Li Luan would not have liked him at all.

Among young people of the same age, Shen Qingzhou is like a weirdo.

It was only on those few occasions that he took the initiative to ask to accompany Li Luan to visit Xiao Shisan, who was studying in another lecture hall not too far from them.

Li Luan thought that he was Xiao Shisan's savior, so he took him there a few times, but when they got there, Shen Qingzhou was like a stubborn person and didn't say anything.

And Xiao Shisan didn't even ask who Shen Qingzhou was. Li Luan just thought that the imperial sister was unwell at the time and didn't see clearly what the person who saved her looked like, so Li Luan only introduced Shen Qingzhou's identity and didn't say anything more.

The incident at the palace was an unpleasant memory that everyone wanted to forget as soon as possible.

Shen Qingzhou was surprised to see Princess Chenxiang again after more than half a year. It turned out that she had lost weight at this time.

In his previous life, he had never been Li Luan's study partner. He didn't know what the little princess's personality was like at this time, but when Gu Li'er married him, the little princess was obviously lively, lazy, and bright.

It's totally different from his current silent and taciturn appearance.

Was it because of that cold snap that changed her?

Or, did she have the same experience as him?

Gu Li knew Shen Qingzhou's scrutiny and suspicion. She did not deliberately hide it, but she would not give an answer openly either.

She just turned a blind eye and a deaf ear to Shen Qingzhou, treating him completely like a tree or a blade of grass.

Without any emotion.
