When Li Helan heard this, she immediately became alert, but she didn't dare to show it on her face. She obediently blinked her large eyes and said coquettishly, "Lan 'er and the prince consort are husband and wife. Isn't it the same no matter who asks? Moreover, the prince consort is a saw-mouth gourd. Imperial brother, don't you know that? "
Li Qitian smiled and said, "Forget it. Do you think we don't know your temper? You act as you please. If you move into the prince consort's residence, who knows if someone will impeach Ji Lan the moment you move in. Moreover, you're a princess. How can people talk about you behind your back for not following the rules? "
"Imperial brother." Li Helan pulled Li Qitian's hand and shook it coquettishly, "Imperial brother dotes on Lan 'er! Moreover, what outsiders say is more important than whether Lan 'er is happy or not. "
Li Qitian frowned slightly and pulled Li Helan's hand away. He said in a low voice, "Lan 'er! Be obedient! Do you want people to talk about us behind our backs as peasants and military emperors ascending the throne? "
Li Helan's heart trembled. Even if she didn't give up, she didn't dare to say another word.
Ever since Li Qitian led the rebel army to attack Bei Ji, these kinds of rumors had never stopped. Even though Da Zhou had been established for four years and the old officials of Bei Ji had pledged their allegiance on the surface, there were still many people talking about them behind their backs.
Li Qitian cared about his reputation the most. Therefore, he was very strict about the matters in the palace. He was afraid that people would gossip about them over tea.
An indescribable sadness welled up in her heart.
Her imperial brother, who used to dote on her the most, no longer put her preferences first. There were too many things in her imperial brother's heart. Reputation, status, power, all of them were more important than her. She, as his younger sister, was nothing.
This was the thoughts of an emperor. This was the sadness of being a princess.
When Li Qitian saw Li Helan's pitiful appearance with her head lowered, Li Qitian couldn't help but feel a little bad.
In the end, she was his most beloved younger sister. There were some things that he had no choice but to use her. However, when he could satisfy her, Li Qitian was willing to compensate her.
"Forget it. Although it's unrealistic for you to move into the prince consort's residence, we will help you talk to Ji Lan. Are you satisfied now? "
Li Helan heard this, at first, but then her eyes's eyes.
As long as Li Qitian was willing to compromise for her, it meant that she hadn't completely lost her imperial brother's favor.
"Imperial brother's's Lan's brother!" Emperor's words, Li ''s, is Emperor''s''s't's,'s's's't't's emperor speak. Imperial Brother's words are the imperial edict. If Prince Consort doesn't listen, Imperial Brother can deal with him! "
.. '''t't Li Qitian was amused by Li Helan's appearance. He tapped her forehead and said, "You like Prince Consort Ji that much? . Didn't you like Pang Zhixi before? ''
"How could that be? '' Li Helan blushed and shyly lowered her head.
She definitely didn't dare to say that she also liked Pang Zhixi very much.
Seeing Li Helan like this, Li Qitian was even more certain of Li Helan's feelings for Ji Zeyu.
It was no wonder that she was moved. Ji Zeyu's appearance, talent, and power were all comparable to Pang Xiao's. Didn't girls of Li Helan's age like handsome men like Ji Zeyu the most? Since they were already officially husband and wife, it was no wonder that she was so attached to him.
However, this wasn't a scene that Li Qitian wanted to see.
Li Qitian sighed. When he faced Li Helan, he still felt guilty, but any emotions would not delay his business.
"Your Majesty, Prince Zhongshun, requests an audience," Li Guanwen announced from outside the hall.
Li Helan was stunned at first, then she felt that this unexpected joy had hit her on the head!
Since that day, she hadn't had a chance to see Pang Xiao again. Wasn't it fate that they suddenly met here today?
Li Qitian carefully observed Li Helan's expression. Seeing her like this, he had a plan in mind.
It seemed that his plan to arrange for Pang Xiao to meet Li Helan today was correct.
Otherwise, if Li Helan's thoughts were diverted to Ji Zeyu, wouldn't his previous arrangements be in vain?
"Pass." Li Qitian's low voice echoed in the imperial study, pulling back Li Helan's thoughts that were obviously wandering due to her surprise.
As soon as he finished speaking, the hall's door was pushed open by the chamberlain.
Pang Xiao was dressed in a dark purple robe with arrow sleeves and a purple gold crown on his head. He walked in quickly and bowed, "This humble subject pays his respects to Your Majesty!"
He was born tall and thin, and the purple robe with arrow sleeves today set off his noble and natural aura. Especially the pair of phoenix eyes under the slanted sword-like eyebrows. Just one look at Li Helan was enough to make her fall head over heels for him.
Li Helan couldn't help but think in her heart: It's true that one day without seeing Pang Xiao feels like three years. Now that I've seen him, even my bad mood has improved.
"… Lan 'er!"
Li Helan heard Li Qitian's voice and suddenly came back to her senses. She looked up and met Li Qitian's impatient eyes. Only then did she realize that she had been distracted.
Li Qitian said again, "What are you thinking about? Did you catch a cold and feel unwell? "
"Imperial brother, it's nothing. Lan 'er is fine." Li Helan looked at Pang Xiao with a smile, "Brother Xiao's robe with arrow sleeves today is not bad."
Pang Xiao hurriedly cupped his hands, "This subject doesn't dare."
Li Helan quickly glanced at Li Qitian and then said, "We grew up together. Didn't we all call each other that? Imperial brother won't mind. Isn't that right, Imperial brother? "
Li Helan looked at Li Qitian coquettishly, which made Li Qitian unhappy again.
He wasn't in the mood to investigate why Li Helan was so frivolous. Anyway, he had achieved his goal, so he didn't want to pursue it any further.
Li Qitian smiled very gently and reprimanded in a not so strict tone, "Nonsense. How can the present be compared to the past? You should call Pang Zhixi Wang Ye. What's more, you're already married now. Ji Lan and Pang Zhixi are close friends. If you call Pang Zhixi the way you did in the past, what will Ji Lan think? "
Li Helan's face flushed red. For a moment, she was speechless. She couldn't help but steal glances at Pang Xiao's reaction.
She was afraid of seeing Pang Xiao's annoyance, but she was also afraid that Pang Xiao would be indifferent.
Naturally, she saw the latter.
Pang Xiao stood with his hands by his side, looking respectful and obedient. He was unmoved by Li Helan's words and didn't take her seriously at all.
Li Helan's joy of seeing Pang Xiao was completely washed away by his cold and indifferent attitude.
Li Qitian saw the two like this and knew what to do. He said, "Lan 'er, go down. We have something to discuss with Prince Zhongshun."
"Yes." Li Helan acknowledged and left. Before she left, she looked reluctantly at Pang Xiao's tall and handsome back.
Li Qitian watched the door of the imperial study close and then said with a smile, "Don't mind her. That little girl has been spoiled by the Empress Dowager, but her heart isn't bad."
