Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 272 Can you please not be so venomous?

"I will not cooperate with her. Firstly, her strength does not match her arrogance. Secondly..."

Of course, the second one is the most important.

Secondly, the girl's eyes showed that she was determined to have him.

But he only allowed Ali to have that look in his eyes.

Lu Beimo did not continue to explain, and Jing Lei did not press for answers.

If the prince says Tuoba Mingyue isn't strong enough, then she definitely isn't. There's no need to ask any more questions. The prince's sharp eyes are even more piercing than a ghost's... cough, he meant that the prince has exceptional insight.

"Your Highness, where are you going?" Seeing that he had changed into a black outfit and was about to leave, Jing Lei quickly followed after him.

Lu Beimo had already mounted his horse and was ready to go out.

At this moment, Liu Yun rushed in from outside: "Your Highness, the Third Prince of Dongzhou will be setting off to return to his country tomorrow, and he would like to invite Your Highness out for a get-together today."

"He's not going to die tomorrow, what's the point of gathering him here? Just let him get lost." Lu Beimo ignored him.

Liu Yun was speechless. Could Your Highness please not be so venomous with his mouth?

Seeing that the prince was about to leave, Liu Yun suddenly remembered something and quickly said, "Miss Li will also be going."

The horse neighed and nearly broke its leg.

It stopped too quickly, like a gust of wind.

Lu Beimo turned around, narrowing his eyes: "Why?"

"I heard that the Dragon Guard will be escorting the Third Prince's army out of the city tomorrow, and the Third Prince is hosting a banquet in advance to thank General Chu and Miss Li."

"Where is he? That damned bastard, how dare he seduce his woman!"

“Living at Cuihu Residence”.

...Emerald Lake Residence.

The first person Tuoba Liuli looked at was not Chu Yueli, but the man beside her, Chu Xiaohe.

Only on second glance did he notice Chu Yueli, who was more than half a head shorter than Chu Xiaohe.

She hurried over and greeted him, "Ah Li."

Then, she looked at Chu Xiaohe, still somewhat shy in her words: "General Chu, it's been a long time...not to be seen."

"Didn't we just meet at the hunting grounds a few days ago?" Chu Yueli knew what she was being shy about, so she took her hand and smiled, "Actually, my eldest brother isn't that petty, Seventh Princess. Let's all forget about the past, shall we?"

"You still call me Seventh Princess? You haven't forgotten." Tuoba Liuli glared at her.

Chu Yueli called out helplessly, "Liuli."

This isn't politeness, is it?

Since the autumn hunt, their Duke's mansion has been under constant scrutiny, with people watching them closely. Even the slightest mistake could cause a huge uproar.

Tuoba Liuli was finally satisfied. She turned her head to look at Chu Xiaohe, but still didn't have the courage.

“Seventh Princess, there’s no need for you to overthink it. I have no grudge against you whatsoever,” Chu Xiaohe quickly replied.

However, it is absolutely unacceptable for him to call the Seventh Princess by her name like Ali does.

Chu Xiaohe grew up in the Duke's mansion and received very strict official training. Unlike Ali, who spent most of her time in the Southern Frontier, Ali's personality... well, in her mother's words, was wild and untamed.

Of course, the mother said this in a doting tone.

"Are you really not angry with me?" Tuoba Liuli was still holding a grudge about how she had hurt him when she came to visit last time.

Look at his chin; there's still a scar she left on him.

Although the scar is shallow, it is still visible.

However, Chu Xiaohe himself seemed to really not care about this minor injury.

He nodded and said nothing more. He personally poured a cup of wine for Tuoba Yi and said, "The Third Prince and the Seventh Princess will be returning to Dongzhou tomorrow. This cup of wine is also our Duke's blessing to the two of you. May you have a safe journey. We hope to meet again someday."

Outside, at that moment, a deep voice suddenly came: "Since you're going to drink, why not invite me?"
