Traveling through the busy farmland of a peasant girl

Chapter 334 On the way to the palace

When Shen Shaodong saw Nangong Qi like this, his heart suddenly became clear as a mirror. It was obvious that this boy was really in love with his daughter, and he couldn't help but worry secretly.

He knew very well that royal affairs were always complicated. Once this emotion was involved, his daughter would probably encounter many setbacks in the future. However, in the current situation, it was not easy to stop it directly. He could only hide this worry in his heart silently, and his brows unconsciously frowned slightly.

Su Ran saw Nangong Qi staring at Shen Li infatuatedly again, and suddenly a surge of anger surged in her heart, and she was secretly resentful.

He immediately stepped forward, clasped his hands together, and bowed respectfully, saying, "Welcome, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Although there was some respect in his tone, if you listened carefully, there was also a hint of resistance that was not easy to detect.

Shen Shaodong was also brought back to his senses by the salute, and hurriedly prepared to follow suit.

Nangong Qi saw this and quickly waved his hand, saying with a smile, "Uncle Shen, don't be polite. I came here specially to pick up A'li today."

He was secretly thinking in his heart: A'li will be my Crown Princess in the future, how can I let my future father-in-law bow to me? This is neither moral nor logical.

Thinking of this, Nangong Qi couldn't contain his joy. He took a step forward and took Shen Li's hand without hesitation. He turned to look at Shen Shaodong and said, "Uncle Shen, I'll take A Li away now."

Although Shen Shaodong felt extremely reluctant and worried, he couldn't say much at this moment. He could only nod slightly, clasped his hands together, and said sincerely, "Thank you very much, Your Highness, for taking good care of my daughter."

Seeing this, Su Ran, Chu Qiu and (Little Koi) Xuanfeng Sanren hurried over and followed silently behind Shen Li and Nangong Qi.

Nangong Qi happily supported Shen Li and walked towards the carriage. Just as he was about to get on, he turned around and saw the three people following him. He frowned and said, "You can go back. No need to see me off. I will take good care of A Li!" There was an unquestionable tone in his voice, and it was obvious that he didn't want them to follow.

Shen Li, however, seemed not to have heard Nangong Qi's words. She stuck her head out and shouted crisply at the three of them, "Why don't you get on the carriage?"

Chu Qiu was holding a small bundle, her face full of smiles. She glanced at Nangong Qi deliberately, as if to say that this was the young lady's intention. Then she said with a smile: "Your Highness, the young lady is calling me!" After that, she quickly got on the carriage.

(Little Koi) Xuanfeng Sanren walked over slowly and glanced at Nangong Qi calmly. Nangong Qi suddenly felt an invisible pressure coming over him and hurriedly saluted respectfully, "Old Immortal, please come in."

Seeing this, Su Ran also planned to follow the trend and get on the carriage, but as soon as he reached the carriage, Nangong Qi angrily stretched out his hand to stop him, and said with an unhappy face: "Who asked you to go too? How can you be so shameless?" There was a lot of gunpowder in his words, and it was obvious that he was extremely dissatisfied with Su Ran's appearance.

Shen Li didn't care and said to Nangong Qi with a smile: "Aqi, I invited Mr. Su to go with us, so please don't blame him, okay?" There was a bit of coquettishness in her tone, which made it difficult for people to refuse.

Nangong Qi's eyes widened with anger, and he glared at Su Ran fiercely, but he couldn't persuade Shen Li, so he could only snort angrily and quickly boarded the carriage, muttering, "Li'er, you knew that he and I don't get along, but you still invited him along. It really makes me angry."

Su Ran didn't care about Nangong Qi's anger. She pretended not to hear it, got on the carriage, sat down steadily, straightened her clothes, and looked calm.

Nangong Qi's eyes rolled around, and his face instantly changed into an aggrieved look. After sitting down next to Shen Li, he began to complain: "A Li, after I returned to the palace yesterday, when my father saw the marks of being beaten on my face, he was so distressed that he kept asking me what happened."

As he spoke, he deliberately pointed to his cheek, as if the marks of being beaten were still clearly visible.

Then, as if he remembered something, he raised his head, glared at Su Ran angrily, and then said: "If he went with us, what if my father saw us and blamed me? It would be so difficult for me to be caught in the middle..." His tone was full of helplessness, as if he was really worried about such a situation.

After hearing this, Shen Li looked up in surprise and looked at Nangong Qi's face carefully.

The few marks of beating on his face were almost invisible now. He must have applied some special ointment after returning to the palace, which is why he recovered so quickly.

How could Su Ran let Nangong Qi succeed so easily? He immediately refused to do it, pointed his finger at his face, and said confidently: "Don't forget, you hit me too! And I believe that your father, as the king of a country, must be a reasonable person who can distinguish right from wrong. How could he blame me without knowing the truth?"

At this point, he deliberately curled his lips, his face full of disdain, and then added: "Besides, with my kung fu skills, if I really hit you, do you think you can still get out of bed today and sit here talking to me in one piece?"

The words were full of confidence, and it was obvious that he was very proud of his own kung fu. At the same time, he was also secretly mocking Nangong Qi for overestimating his own abilities.

When Nangong Qi heard this, he was immediately furious. His face flushed crimson, his eyes bulged like bells, and he said viciously, "Do you think I didn't give in to you? I was just worried that Ah Li would worry about our fight! Humph, you're still taking advantage of me and acting like a spoiled brat!"

As he spoke, he stood up suddenly and rushed to Su Ran in one step. He looked as if he was about to attack her in the next second. He gritted his teeth and roared, "If you don't accept it, let's fight again in this carriage today. We must have a good fight. I want you to see how powerful I am!"

Seeing this, Shen Li covered her face helplessly and sighed in her heart. She really didn't want to see these two people fighting like children, so she secretly gave the little koi a look that was full of help, as if to say "quickly take care of them."

(Little Koi) Xuanfeng Sanren had been sitting calmly by the side, but when he saw the two men getting even more out of control, he couldn't help but snort softly and said slowly, "You two are arguing like this in this carriage. What the hell! How disrespectful! Are you treating this place like your own martial arts training ground?"

Although the voice was not loud, it revealed an unquestionable majesty, making the atmosphere in the entire carriage instantly solemn.

When Nangong Qi heard this, his face turned red, and he immediately realized that his behavior just now was indeed inappropriate. He quickly turned around and sat down next to Shen Li in a dejected manner, his face full of embarrassment.

He cupped his hands respectfully and said to (Little Koi) Xuanfeng Sanren, "I was truly rude just now. I hope the old immortal will not blame me. I will be more careful about my words and actions in the future and will not be so reckless again."

Su Ran didn't dare to act rashly again. He quickly straightened his attitude, clasped his fists and bowed respectfully. He said sincerely, "I was impulsive just now and was rude. I apologize to the old immortal. I hope the old immortal will forgive me."

After saying this, he bowed slightly to express his apology.
