Chapter 4 — I am not an emperor, I only pray for her peace

What's more, I am a princess who has been loved since childhood. I didn't care at all, I just saw that the cat was so cute, so I wanted to reach out and caress it. The kitten panicked and scratched a long mark on the back of my hand. Hearing that cat claws are poisonous, I had to return to my hospital and have someone apply disinfectant. Since that time, I started to see Wei Ly more often. The fake mountain cave became the "common area" of the two children. The little cat gradually became familiar with me, even bowing its head and rubbing against my leg to pamper me. We sat next to each other in the mountain cave, pretending to be old men fishing. We never caught anything, so we took off our shoes and waded into the lake to fish, always getting our clothes dirty with mud. When it rains, we will pick two big round lotus leaves and put them on our heads to cover the rain, then turn to look at each other and giggle. When I play with him, that's the happiest time I have. Wei Ly and I were covered in mud, our hair was messy, but our hearts were extremely comfortable. Every time he met Wei Hanh, he would frown and blame me for not knowing how to maintain etiquette. It is unclear when, Wei Ly began to harbor hostility towards Wei Hanh. I once defended Wei Hanh, saying:

“Brother Wei Hanh is a gentle person, has a jade-like temperament, and is more virtuous than others. Of course he will not compare with you.”

Nguy Ly just coldly replied:

"He's just pretending. Because he likes serious, dignified people."

I refute:

“If the uncle really only liked people who kept the rules, he wouldn't have let me freely move around the palace like that.”

He heard that, just smiled softly and said:

“I'm not like them.”

After that, for unknown reasons, he also began to treat me coldly. He secretly stuffed fruit in my hair, when I fell asleep in class, he went to tell the teacher, and stole my hand fan and hid it. From then on, he and I became a bitter couple. Even though he rarely treats me kindly, I don't feel truly angry. Thinking carefully, perhaps throughout this life, only when I am with him... will I feel truly relieved and comfortable. 9.

“You like me?”

Nguy Ly's cold voice rang out, pulling me back to reality.

“Why?”

I kneel, he stands - his eyes looking down are as arrogant as an emperor sitting on nine heavens. Now, everyone thinks that I like Wei Hanh, what I said during the wedding ceremony was just blurted out in anger. Only we know how true that statement is. I slowly stood up, raised my head, looked straight into his eyes, and calmly said:

"Why do I need a reason to like someone? Seeing you makes my heart happy."

He smiled softly:

“My lord, lying... is not a habit of a good child.”

To prove that my words were not false, I walked towards him step by step, finally standing on tiptoe to kiss his face. Right at the crucial moment, he dodged. I burst out laughing — the tips of his ears were as red as burning embers. 10. I didn't stay long at the temple, Wei Ly personally took me down the mountain. I sat in the carriage, and he slowly rode behind. When I returned to the Princess's palace, as soon as I got off the carriage, I saw a face that made people disgusted. As soon as Wei Hanh saw me, he quickly walked over, trying to look gentle and in love. In my previous life, why didn't I notice the fakeness in his smile? Real ridiculous — the me in my previous life was truly stupid to the extreme. As soon as I got off the bike, behind me, Wei Ly also leisurely approached on horseback, slowly and leisurely as if he didn't care about anyone. I passed Wei Hanh and walked straight to Wei Ly.

“Let's go sit in the palace for a while, okay?” – I asked him.

"Uyen Nhi, why did you invite him? Haven't you always hated him the most?" – Wei Hanh looked surprised.

"Second cousin, when did I say I hated him? Or were you drunk and talking nonsense?" – I looked at him, tried to suppress the disgust in my heart, and calmly replied.

Nguyen Hanh's face froze for a moment, then immediately turned into a melancholy look as if he was hurt. I never called him "Second cousin" before, I always called him "Brother Hanh". Now that I think about it, I just feel nauseous. I grabbed Wei Ly's hand and without hesitation pulled him into the Princess mansion. Wei Hanh stood behind, his eyes fixed firmly on our clasped hands. He followed me to the palace gate, I immediately turned around, blocking his path.

“Second cousin, please go home first, A Ly and I still have something to talk about.”

"Uyen Nhi, stop being angry, okay? It's my fault... you shouldn't have been cold to me that day, and I shouldn't have scolded you."

If he hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten about it. Before the wedding ceremony, I only asked him a few questions about gifts, but he immediately got angry and scolded me that I was a member of the royal family and the daughter of a Princess, so how could I be so ordinary? I burst out laughing - I, Ta Uyen, lack any treasure in this life? Why would you covet his gift? It's just that I'm blind, mistaking pebbles for pearls. I lost patience and coldly replied:

"Second cousin, I already told you, the person I like is Wei Ly. Please don't continue to meddle."

Nguy Hanh frowned tightly, his pupils slightly shocked, as if he didn't dare believe that the words he just heard actually came from my mouth.
