Chapter 2030 She is not one of the four beauties
Shi Li looked at the two beautiful and proud princesses, just smiled and said nothing.
The eldest princess of the Qi Kingdom seemed to have not expected that her sister would be so aggressive. She was anxious and wanted to stop her, but she couldn't.
The little princess looked at Shi Li and continued indignantly, "We have been in the Moon Country for several months. If you hadn't stopped us, we wouldn't have been forced to live in another palace until now!"
She put the blame for her and her sister's inability to enter the palace directly on Shi Li, accusing Shi Li of seducing the emperor.
But Shi Li did not want to argue, instead her lips curved deeper, "Since you know that the king listens to me, how dare you talk to me like this? Why not wait until the king comes back, and I will talk to you again and let you go back to your motherland."
Shi Li never falls into the trap of self-justification.
Since her words carried weight, she continued speaking along the lines of this and saw what the two princesses could do.
The little princess' eyes widened visibly, "You... who do you think you are? Why should you ask us to go back?"
"You didn't say it just now. It was me who stopped you from entering the palace. So I naturally have a way to send you back."
Shi Li was not in a hurry at all. She even picked up the teacup beside her and took a sip of tea leisurely.
Her calm demeanor and crystal clear wrists made the little princess' eyes widen, and then she felt annoyed.
Originally, she thought Shi Li was a beautiful woman with a slender appearance, but unexpectedly, every word she said was so eloquent that she could not help but feel angry with just a few words.
"Please forgive me, Lady Li. My sister is young and ignorant." The eldest princess finally had time to speak. She frowned and looked at Shi Li helplessly and sadly.
Compared with the little princess, she seems more generous, sensible, and well-educated.
After saying that, she knelt down and bowed to Shi Li.
"Now everyone around me calls me Madam."
Shi Li was not fooled by appearances, but looked at the eldest princess with interest. "Just now you didn't say anything to dissuade me, but now you see that your sister is at a loss for words and you come out to reply. You sisters, do you think I'm easy to fool?"
The two princesses, one played the good guy and the other played the bad guy, which was actually discussed before entering the palace.
Now that Shi Li had easily exposed her secret, the eldest princess blushed and the younger princess also put away her arrogance and pride, revealing a bit of shame and anger.
Taking a deep breath, the eldest princess forbearingly said, "Madam, why do you have to be so distant? We sisters just want to establish a good relationship with you so that we can support each other in the future. Madam, since you are a smart person, you should understand that it is difficult to support one person alone."
This is a case of trying soft tactics when hard tactics don’t work, and trying bribery when intimidation doesn’t work?
As expected, every princess who was sent to a powerful country for marriage was very capable, and there was no simple-minded princess.
If this were a serious palace matter, what the Princess of Qi said would indeed make sense.
No one can be perfect forever, and no flower can be red in a hundred different ways. It is a fantasy for one person to be the best among three thousand beauties for a long time.
but……
"You are right, but Chu Ge is different from other monarchs."
Shi Li spoke sincerely, but did not dare to tell the two princesses directly that Chu Ge was actually not capable, and his words and actions were not like those of a normal person. She just gave a slight hint.
The two princesses would certainly not believe her good intentions.
"Madam, why do you have to say that? I just hope that one day you won't regret your decision today." The eldest princess also became a little angry and was about to leave by pulling the little princess.
"Wait a minute." Shi Li called them to a halt and asked the only question she was curious about, "Who instigated you to make trouble?"
At this critical juncture, she didn't believe that coming to her was the idea of the two princesses themselves.
The eldest princess was relatively calm, her eyes just wavered, and she denied it perfunctorily, "There is no one else, madam, you are overthinking."
His sister stood beside him with her head lowered, not daring to even raise it.
Shi Li didn't want to press the issue, so she just let them leave.
Then he called the palace maid to his side.
"That palace must have been infiltrated by spies and turned into a sieve, right? Look at what happened today!" she complained softly.
The palace maid could only spread her hands and smile bitterly, "Madam, the king said before that if there are spies, then there are spies. If we can get rid of a few of them, we can save the money to keep them."
Shi Li: ...
Chu Ge, you are worthy of it.
She just asked, and since Chu Ge didn't care, she naturally didn't bother to care either. After she finished the matter, she wanted to continue learning from Zan Niang.
But Zheng Mei walked in again with a sad face.
"Ali, people outside really treat me as a fool!" Zheng Mei said as she puffed up her cheeks angrily, like a little frog.
Shi Li didn't understand and raised her eyebrows to signal her to continue talking.
Zheng Mei rolled her eyes. "Just now, a palace servant told me that my parents are looking for me and asked me to meet them outside the palace gate."
Shi Li: ...
She remembered that Sun Wukong once drew a circle on the ground for Tang Seng and others, telling them not to go out, and then all kinds of monsters appeared and tried their best to deceive them.
So, is she Tang Monk now?
