Chapter 270: Can the Princess of Qi See Through the Schemes of the Liu Family Mother and Daughter?

Chapter 270: Chapter 270: Can the Princess of Qi See Through the Schemes of the Liu Family Mother and Daughter?

Hearing her say this, Xueyan looked puzzled, "Miss, why would you say that?"

It was only a birthday banquet, could the Liu Family mother and daughter really be planning to harm the Princess?

Liu Murou pursed her lips and chuckled lightly, "If they weren’t planning to harm the Princess, why would they bother sending invitations to the Prince Qiu Residence?"

Xueyan, half-understanding, replied, "Shouldn’t the Princess be invited anyway?"

Yet Liu Murou smiled and said, "The Liu Family mother and daughter always think themselves above others, they consider no one but the Empress worthy of their regard. Moreover, not long ago, Liu Sisi was outmaneuvered by the Princess in the harem. How could such a proud person tolerate her rival hopping around right under her nose?"

This time Xueyan understood and nodded, "Miss is right."

Liu Sisi has always been arrogant. She had just lost face in the palace and had long regarded the Princess as an enemy.

If a trap was deliberately set, who would invite an enemy to their birthday party?

Thinking of this, Xueyan looked at her own miss with some worry, "But if the Liu Family mother and daughter really intend to harm the Princess, what should we do?"

She thought it very simple, if the Liu Family mother and daughter dared to harm the Princess, harming her miss would just be a matter of time.

These days, because the Liu Family mother and daughter had set their sights on the Princess, they had long stopped troubling the concubine and her miss.

If they were to succeed, next in line would be them.

However, Liu Murou’s face showed no sign of worry, instead, her eyes sparkled as she said, "That is good. The Liu Family mother and daughter are fools, they will be dealt with by the Princess sooner or later, and then we can reap the benefits!"

Seeing her miss looking so determined, Xueyan couldn’t help feeling a bit uneasy.

Could the Princess truly see through the schemes of the Liu Family mother and daughter?

At the Prince Qiu Residence, Qi Yu was not worried about this obvious trap at all.

She knew the Liu Family mother and daughter would definitely try to harm her, but she truly had nothing to worry about.

Liu Sisi being foolish as she was, it was probably not all her own doing.

Perhaps Madam Liu’s intelligence might even be less than hers.

Qi Yu sat comfortably in the reclining chair, smilingly watching her three little cubs play in the yard.

Although Song Ting was a bit haughty, he was still young. Once he realized Qi Mu and Qi Xuan were not going to split his affection but could become his playmates, he completely eliminated his hostility towards them.

At the moment, the three little cubs were playing happily together.

Song Ting took out his long spear and demonstrated a few moves, earning admiring and worshipful looks from Qi Mu and Qi Xuan.

He pompously said to the two little ones, "If you want to learn, I can teach you!"

Qi Mu and Qi Xuan looked at each other and rushed to say, "I want to learn!"

Song Ting instantly transformed into a teacher and began to instruct their movements.

But Qi Mu and Qi Xuan were still young and found it challenging to handle the long spear, their faces turning red with effort without being able to perform Song Ting’s moves.

Song Ting then lost some interest and retracted his long spear, saying to Qi Yu, "Cousin, they are so weak."

Hearing this, Qi Mu and Qi Xuan felt somewhat sad.

Qi Yu glared at Song Ting and beckoned the two little ones over.

Qi Mu and Qi Xuan immediately cast aside their saddened emotions and leapt into her arms.

Qi Yu patted their heads and consoled, "You are still young, too young to wield a long spear. If you want to train in martial arts, you have to start from the basic skills."

"What is basic skill?" Qi Mu widened his eyes, innocently asking.

Qi Xuan repeated his words.

Song Ting scoffed disdainfully, "You don’t even know what basic skill is!"

Qi Yu felt a headache coming on and said to Song Ting, "Speak more politely to your brothers."

Song Ting pouted, reluctant, but nodded nonetheless.

Qi Yu saw that he was drenched in sweat and had a servant take him to change his clothes.

He then said to Qi Mu and Qi Xuan, "If you want to learn, have someone come and teach you."

Qi Mu and Qi Xuan were naturally eager, their eyes sparkling as they looked at her, "Can we become as formidable as uncle Shiqi in the future?"

The corners of Qi Yu’s mouth twitched.

She never understood why these two kids were so attached to Shiqi’s icy face, always hauling a stool each to sit and watch whenever he practiced martial arts in the bamboo grove.

But then again, kids do harbor a sense of admiration for those with great martial arts skills.

She smiled and pinched their soft cheeks, "Yes, as long as you practice diligently, you can one day run up walls just like uncle Shiqi."

The two kids were thrilled at the thought and could hardly wait to start practicing.

Qi Yu quickly stopped them and had Li Bo bring over the afternoon tea pastries.

With the fragrant and soft pastries to enjoy, the two kids instantly forgot about practicing.

In the evening, news finally came from Qian State, saying they had set off and would arrive by tomorrow evening.

Hearing this news, Song Ting was so excited that he hopped around the residence like a monkey.

Qi Yu was too tired to comment on his antics and served Qi Mu and Qi Xuan a chicken leg each.

Seeing this, Song Ting also shouted, "My chicken leg!"

Li Bo watched the lively scene, deeply comforted.

In the past, the Prince used to dine alone, but now, the table was almost too small to fit everyone.

Ever since the Princess arrived, the Prince Residence had never been quiet again.

Li Bo gave Qi Yu another smile, thinking the Princess was perfect in every way, except they still had no heir.

But both the Prince and Princess were still young, and there was no rush for that matter.

Late at night, a shadow suddenly flitted through the rigorously guarded Imperial Palace.

"Who’s there?" the guard shouted, but all was silent again, with no sign of anyone.

"Must have been a mistake," he muttered.

Liu Wensheng hid behind a tree, waited for the guard to leave, and then swiftly leaped over the palace wall and left the Imperial Palace under the watchful eyes of the imperial guard.

Back at the inn, he changed out of his night clothes.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.

Liu Wensheng frowned slightly and took a few steps forward to open the door, not surprised by the person standing outside.

This person brazenly followed him all the way from Evil Valley to the capital city, and now, he delivered meals to his room punctually every day.

Feng Yue, carrying a food box, smiled at him, "I had them make your favorite beggar’s chicken."

Liu Wensheng gave him a cold glance, then stepped aside to let him in.

He might not like the man, but there was no need to make life difficult for himself.

Having someone to care for his meals and daily needs, honestly, didn’t feel too bad.

Feng Yue opened the food box, took out the dishes, and the aroma instantly filled the air.

He tore off two chicken legs and put them in Liu Wensheng’s bowl, "Eat more, you’ve lost weight these past days."

Liu Wensheng silently threw one of the chicken legs back into his bowl, "Less talking."

Feng Yue looked at the chicken leg in his bowl, pursed his lips, and a quick flash of a smile passed through the clouds of his eyes.

Little Liuliu really did care about him.
