Chapter 285

At this moment, Cheng Qingli was dressed in an eye-catching water-blue brocade robe, holding a folding fan in her hand, looking with a face full of novelty at Xu Heming in his crimson clothes.

In her eyes, aside from surprise, there was also amazement.

It should be known that she had truly never seen Xu Heming wear any clothes of other colors besides his official robes.

Now, suddenly changing into such a bright color, Cheng Qingli felt that Xu Heming’s past clothes were simply an eyesore, completely wasting this handsome face by being lifeless all day long.

However, how was Xu Heming willing to change into this crimson outfit?

After looking Xu Heming up and down, Cheng Qingli finally noticed Li Zhiwei standing to the side.

Thinking of Xu Heming’s imperially bestowed princess consort.

Cheng Qingli quickly guessed Li Zhiwei’s identity.

Sure enough, in the face of beauty, even a figure like Prince An would yield.

Li Zhiwei was also startled looking at the young master who suddenly jumped out.

Especially this water-blue clothing, which was usually worn by young ladies; now, being worn by a young master, it actually did not look out of place.

It was just that this young master looking her up and down like this made Li Zhiwei feel it was truly somewhat rude.

What young master from a proper family would scrutinize a young lady like this?

Especially with Xu Heming still right beside them.

However, Xu Heming did not seem surprised at all, which also made Li Zhiwei somewhat puzzled. Did Xu Heming not think it was wrong for his good friend to scrutinize her like this?

She was, after all, his future princess consort, right?

Just how good was their relationship that he could indulge this person to look at her so disrespectfully?

Thinking of this, Li Zhiwei glared back in dissatisfaction.

Cheng Qingli also did not expect that this future Princess An would get angry just because she took a few extra glances.

However, thinking of her own attire today, she felt very proud in her heart. Didn’t that mean her disguise was very successful?

Even this Miss Li didn’t discover her identity?

This was truly wonderful.

Li Zhiwei felt the young master in front of her looking at her even more boldly and passionately, feeling very strange in her heart. What did Xu Heming mean by this?

Seeing him scrutinize her so rudely, Li Zhiwei originally wanted to glare back, but upon taking a closer look, she discovered the problem.

This man in front of her actually had no Adam’s apple!

No Adam’s apple?

A man, without an Adam’s apple?

Li Zhiwei was slightly surprised in her heart, and then carefully sized up this man.

Although ​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‍this man was dressed in men’s clothing, his figure was not very tall and sturdy, but rather quite petite.

No Adam’s apple, petite figure?

Li Zhiwei suddenly noticed this person’s ears, vaguely able to see ear piercings!

This person was actually a woman!

Li Zhiwei felt shocked by her own discovery.

The folk customs of the Lan Nuo Nation were open, and women could also go out on the streets. It was just that when the noble ladies of the capital’s aristocratic families went out, most would wear a veiled hat.

Very few women would disguise themselves as men to go out.

The person in front of her was actually a girl, and so familiar with Xu Heming.

Li Zhiwei looked at Xu Heming with a face full of confusion. Did he notice this problem?

“You person, how very rude!” Xu Qingshi frowned and looked at Cheng Qingli in front of him. He saw that this person actually kept staring at his pretty sister.

He felt very displeased in his heart!

Yet his own father king said nothing at all.

Every time Xu Qingshi saw Cheng Qingli, he would also hurriedly leave. After all, Zhu Hanyu greatly disliked this little aunt, and by extension, was unwilling to see her much. Normally, Xu Qingshi also followed suit, avoiding this Cheng Qingli in front of him like the plague.

Moreover, he had never seen Cheng Qingli in men’s clothing.

At this time, Xu Qingshi completely failed to equate the powdered and oiled young master in front of him with that female demon Cheng Qingli.

“Oh, Little Qingshi, seeing me today, you’re not running away?” Cheng Qingli saw Xu Qingshi looking at her with a face full of wariness, feeling it was extremely interesting in her heart.

In the past, Xu Qingshi and the Third Prince would run away as soon as they saw her.

Every time she wanted to tease them, she never had the chance. She truly found it a great pity.

“Why should I run? Father King, he looks at your future princess consort like this, and this is your reaction?” Xu Qingshi looked at Xu Heming with a face full of dissatisfaction and asked.

“Alright, stop messing around.” Xu Heming sighed slightly. What could he do? The person in front of him was Cheng Qingli. Originally, he had thought of introducing her and Li Zhiwei in a few days. Who would have thought that by such a coincidence, they would run into each other today right after he mentioned it.

He naturally knew that the way Cheng Qingli stared at Li Zhiwei just now was very rude, but wasn’t this because she was a woman?

If it were truly a man, how could he have such good patience?

“This beauty, you look truly pretty. Look, this fiancé of yours doesn’t know how to cherish a tender flower at all. Why don’t you consider following this young master from now on? This young master promises to cherish you well.” Hearing Xu Qingshi’s words, Cheng Qingli laughed wildly in her heart.

This Xu Qingshi actually thought she had ideas about Miss Li?

Thinking of this, Cheng Qingli’s mind became active with the thought of teasing Xu Qingshi and Li Zhiwei.

Holding the fan in her hand, she raised her eyebrows and winked at Li Zhiwei as she spoke.

“Alright, you’ve had enough!” Xu Heming frowned and said to Cheng Qingli.

He was dissatisfied in his heart with her frivolous behavior. What if she frightened Li Zhiwei?

Li Zhiwei had already guessed that the person in front of her was a woman.

But what exactly was her relationship with Xu Heming?

Li Zhiwei looked at Xu Heming somewhat puzzled, clearly also very dissatisfied with his attitude of trying to smooth things over.

“Zhiwei, this is the Second Miss of the Cheng family, Cheng Qingli.” Xu Heming was afraid that if he spoke any later, Li Zhiwei would misunderstand him again, so he quickly said.

“Qingli, this is my future princess consort, Eldest Miss Li! Stop your nonsense, or else I will definitely go to Her Majesty the Empress to demand an explanation!” Xu Heming then introduced her to Cheng Qingli on the side.

At the same time, he also stopped Cheng Qingli’s boring joke.

“Eldest Miss Li, Qingli has long heard of your great name. Seeing you today at last, you are indeed a great beauty.” Cheng Qingli was not annoyed, but instead looked at Li Zhiwei with a smile and greeted her.

Li Zhiwei did not expect that the person in front of her was actually Cheng Qingli. And the Empress that Xu Heming just mentioned made Li Zhiwei, who originally did not know Cheng Qingli’s identity, understand at this moment: the Cheng family was the Empress’s maiden family, so the Second Miss Cheng in front of her was the Empress’s legitimate younger sister.

“Greetings to Second Miss Cheng!” Li Zhiwei gave a peer’s greeting to Cheng Qingli.

She didn’t expect that Xu Heming actually had such a close relationship with the Empress’s younger sister?

Then why didn’t the Emperor bestow a marriage upon the two of them?

Could it be that the person in front of him wasn’t more suitable than herself?

Thinking of this, Li Zhiwei sized up the two of them. For some reason, she always felt that the relationship between these two was somewhat subtle.

After all, the feeling Xu Heming gave people in the past was always cold.

Today, she didn’t know if it was because he changed into a crimson outfit, or because Cheng Qingli was in front of him, but the feeling he gave people seemed quite a bit warmer.
