Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 1943: Chapter 1944: On Purpose...

Gong Le, with tears, pointed at Xi Ziyen and said, ”It’s him who sends me sweets every day, making me eat...”

”Xi Ziyen!” An Yiqing was furious, ”I was wondering why you’ve been running to the Royal Palace every day lately, but haven’t come to see me. Turns out you were busy giving her a toothache!”

Xi Ziyen quickly replied, ”I just noticed Miss Gong likes sweets, so I sent them to her. I didn’t realize she would get a toothache from eating them. It was my oversight. Forgive me, Third Prince.”

Gong Le continued to cry and accuse, ”I told him not to come, but he still comes to find me every day...”

Hearing this, An Yiqing immediately understood everything. He gave Xi Ziyen a cold look, making Xi Ziyen shiver before he turned to the hurriedly arriving Imperial Physician: ”Quickly, check Miss Gong’s tooth.”

While the Imperial Physician used medicine to relieve Gong Le’s toothache, An Yiqing and Xi Ziyen went to the outer chamber.

An Yiqing stood with his hands behind his back, facing away from Xi Ziyen, and spoke emotionlessly: ”She is not someone you can covet.”

Xi Ziyen’s family has a bunch of concubines, totally unworthy of Gong Le.

After saying this to Xi Ziyen, An Yiqing ordered the guard: ”From now on, without my permission, don’t let Prince Bolin into the Royal Palace.”

The guard immediately replied, ”Yes, Third Prince!”

Xi Ziyen was on the verge of tears. He now thoroughly realized that An Yiqing, this Third Prince, clearly had a liking for Gong Le, and he had foolishly believed An Yiqing’s previous words of not liking Gong Le. If he hadn’t believed, how could he have run headlong into trouble?

”Prince, please.” The guard escorted Xi Ziyen out.

Xi Ziyen glanced at An Yiqing, who was still standing with his back to him, and resignedly left. An Yiqing’s status was so much higher than his, he dared not offend An Yiqing further. Furthermore, offending An Yiqing was akin to offending the entire Royal Family and imperial family.

Who doesn’t know the Royal Family and imperial family are like one family?

Once the Imperial Physician relieved Gong Le’s toothache, An Yiqing entered the room to see Gong Le. As soon as he saw Gong Le, he said with a sour attitude, ”Will you still eat sweets in the future?”

Gong Le replied honestly, ”In the future, I might eat just a little bit, but I won’t eat so much anymore.”

She was still quite obsessed with sweets.

An Yiqing didn’t care about her obsession and said, ”Next time you get a toothache, I won’t care about you.” After a pause, ”Don’t purposely make yourself have a toothache again.”

Gong Le was immediately surprised and said, ”Big Brother Qing, how did you know I did it on purpose?!”

An Yiqing coolly replied, ”You never blame others for your own mistakes. You ate the sweets yourself, and your tooth ached. If it wasn’t on purpose, you would have said it was not Xi Ziyen’s fault, rather than blaming him for sending sweets every day.”

Gong Le pouted, ”Who told him to like me; I don’t like him liking me at all.”

Hearing this, An Yiqing laughed, ”You can actually tell he likes you?”

Gong Le wasn’t pleased, ”Big Brother Qing, I may be stupid, but I’m not dull! How could I not notice! Furthermore, when I shared candy apples with A Qi, Ah Lin, and A Zhi, they also told me that his coming to send me things so diligently must have an ulterior motive and to be careful.”

”Alright, don’t be upset anymore,” An Yiqing comforted, ”He won’t be able to freely come to the Royal Palace anymore, so he won’t be able to annoy you and make you dislike him every day.”

”Thank you, Big Brother Qing!” Gong Le immediately cheered up, hugging An Yiqing’s arm and bouncing up and down. ”Big Brother Qing is the best!”

And no one noticed the fleeting victorious smile in Gong Le’s eyes when her scheme succeeded.
