Chapter 175 Turmoil
Bai Xiao in Princess Yuan An's arms subconsciously felt a little uneasy and agitated.
Princess Yuan An had to say timidly: "This, is this so..."
While she was speaking, she comforted Bai Xiao in her arms.
Although she liked Li Xuan very much, Bai Xiao had been her pet since childhood, and she couldn't abandon Bai Xiao just to hug Li Xuan.
Seeing that Princess Yuan An still had some conscience, Li Xuan meowed at Bai Xiao.
"Meow. (You, the little master, still have some conscience.)"
"Meow?"
Bai Xiao tilted his head, not understanding what Li Xuan meant.
It didn't have Li Xuan's intelligence, so it couldn't understand the conversation between Princess Ankang and Princess Yuan An.
Before, Bai Xiao felt uneasy and irritable, purely through feeling emotions.
Although Bai Xiao couldn't understand human words, it was no problem for him to feel emotions.
Now that Princess Yuan An comforted him, he had calmed down and stopped moving around.
Princess Yuan An had to sigh secretly as she watched Li Xuan curled up in Princess Ankang's arms.
She originally thought that if she talked to Princess Ankang nicely, she could hug Li Xuan, and then get closer to him, maybe she could have a good relationship with him.
Unexpectedly, the seemingly weak Princess Ankang actually had her own personality.
"The thirteenth sister is not as easy to talk to as rumored."
She heard from other brothers and sisters that Princess Ankang was very gentle to everyone, and she spoke softly and kindly.
Even if someone said something unpleasant to her face, Princess Ankang would not care.
But now it seems that she has her own principles when it comes to cats.
"People with other cats cannot hug, how can you say that I am two-timing."
Princess Yuanan felt more and more uncomfortable the more she thought about it.
Seeing Princess Yuanan being humiliated, Li Xuan also felt funny, and even deliberately showed off her coquettishness, meowing coquettishly in Princess Ankang's arms, kissing, hugging and rubbing her face, which made Princess Yuanan's eyes red.
Li Xuan secretly observed Princess Yuan An's reaction. Her charming eyes made Princess Yuan An feel itchy.
Princess Yuan An bit her lips tightly, resisting her impulse, but her mouth twitched from time to time, and she could hardly hold back her silly smile.
She had no resistance to cute animals since she was a child, especially kittens.
What's more, this cat in front of her knew how to grasp people's hearts.
"You are so coquettish, but I like it~"
Princess Yuan An couldn't help but smile foolishly and muttered softly.
"Hmm? What did you say, sister?"
Princess Ankang didn't hear clearly, but she felt that Princess Yuan An's expression was a little strange.
At this time, another voice interrupted and said, "Yuan An, wipe your drool, it's about to fall to the ground."
Princess Yuan An was startled and wiped her mouth subconsciously, but she only felt a little wet, which was not that exaggerated.
She glared at the person who was talking beside her, and said without hesitation: "Old Eight, what does this have to do with you?"
"Go to the side and play with your eagle!"
The Eighth Prince said helplessly: "How many times have I told you that mine is just a falcon, not an eagle."
"And you should call him Eighth Brother, not Old Eighth Brother, you have to be polite."
Princess Yuanan snorted and asked back: "Do you think Eighth Brother sounds good? I think it's not as good as Old Eighth Brother."
Compared to her attitude towards Princess Ankang, Princess Yuanan's attitude towards the Eighth Prince can be said to be terrible.
But the Eighth Prince didn't care too much, and said to himself: "It's too cold, I didn't bring Axiang here."
Princess Yuanan continued to mock: "Old Eighth Brother matches Axiang, this name is given by you."
She shook her head and was obviously very disappointed with her own bad naming of Eighth Brother.
The Eighth Prince waved his fingers and defended himself, "First of all, I don't want to be the Eighth Prince either."
"Secondly, the name must be simple and easy to remember."
"Look at your white cat's name, Bai Xiao. I think it's better to call it Tang Yuan."
The Eighth Prince said that his hands were not clean, and he secretly touched Bai Xiao and took the opportunity to stroke the cat.
Princess Yuan An immediately knocked off the Eighth Prince's dirty hands, turned around to protect Bai Xiao, and did not forget to make a face.
"Hmph, I won't let you touch it!"
Good guy, Princess Yuan An is much more direct than Princess Ankang.
"Tsk, so stingy."
The Eighth Prince rubbed the back of his hand that was slapped red and complained.
But he looked at the cute and well-behaved kittens in the arms of his two sisters, and couldn't help but feel a little envious.
Didn't he bring the Saker Falcon today?
Instead, he brought it to the door, and the Saker Falcon felt cold and flew back home by itself.
As a brother, would the Eighth Prince have the nerve to tell his sisters about this?
The Eighth Prince also has to save face.
The Eighth Prince was bored, so he went to the two sisters with their pets.
"Yuan An, didn't your mother forbid you to attend the party in the Imperial Garden?"
"You sneaked here?"
The Eighth Prince asked curiously.
Upon hearing this, the three children were a little surprised.
Only then did they know that Yuan An's biological mother was actually Empress Wu.
"Old Eighth, if you can't speak, just shut up!"
Princess Yuan An gnashed her teeth and shouted at the Eighth Prince.
Her eyes swept over Princess Ankang obscurely, and she saw the surprised expression on Princess Ankang's face.
Princess Yuan An couldn't help but get a little nervous.
Everyone in the harem knew that Empress Wu didn't like Princess Ankang.
Princess Yuan An originally wanted to keep it a secret that she was the daughter of Empress Wu, but the Eighth Prince was so good that he told her the truth.
She couldn't help but wonder if Old Eight did it on purpose.
But as Princess Yuan An's identity was revealed, the atmosphere between the three people suddenly became much more awkward.
Princess Yuan An wanted to find a crack in the ground to hide in.
She also pointed out that after getting familiar with Princess Ankang, she let her touch Li Xuan.
Now it's good!
The other princes and princesses also noticed the movement here.
But most of them just secretly observed, wanting to see what these three people would do when they got together.
Now seeing the awkward atmosphere here, they couldn't help but laugh secretly.
The Eighth Prince has always been careless and has no scruples in what he says and does.
Does he think that if he doesn't care, others will not care too?
Look at Princess Ankang and Princess Yuan'an now.
This is the consequence of speaking without thinking.
How miserable Princess Ankang's life was before, they, as brothers and sisters, knew it best.
How could they not know when they could see Princess Ankang's miserable condition once a month in the Imperial Garden?
They even thought that this Imperial Garden gathering was initiated by Empress Wu, in order to let everyone see the consequences of offending her.
Therefore, even if there were people who had sympathy for Princess Ankang, they did not dare to help her, for fear of causing Empress Wu's anger.
No one would pay such a high price for a sister who had no use value and had to stay in the cold palace all her life.
Princess Yuan An was too embarrassed to stay with Princess An Kang any longer, so she said softly:
"I'm sorry, 13th sister."
Then she hugged Bai Xiao and walked away, standing with her attendants.
The Eighth Prince laughed awkwardly and said, "Oh, it seems I've been too talkative again."
Li Xuan looked up at the Eighth Prince, but he didn't feel much apology from this guy.
He thought that the Eighth Prince was definitely not stupid, but just didn't care about many rules and regulations.
This guy seemed to say whatever he wanted to say and do whatever he wanted to do.
That is, he put his own experience first.
Compared to saying that the Eighth Prince had any special purpose, Li Xuan would rather believe that this guy just wanted to come over and say those words.
Didn't you see that after laughing twice without any apology, this kid continued to stay by their side.
Normal people shouldn't get close to people from Jingyang Palace.
After the Eighth Prince drove Princess Yuan An away, he seemed to have forgotten what had just happened. He looked at Li Xuan with interest and tried to reach out to tease him.
"Hey, hey."
The Eighth Prince was also very naughty. I don't know where he learned to tease cats in such a sarcastic way.
He waved his hand to the right, and then dodged to the left for a fake shake, just to make Li Xuan notice him, just like a naughty child.
Princess Ankang glanced at the Eighth Prince, her face full of speechless expressions, which means that she needs to maintain her own personality now, otherwise she would have been so annoyed that she would have walked away with Li Xuan.
"This idiot!"
Li Xuan quickly had a more suitable evaluation of the Eighth Prince.
A hint of mischief flashed in Li Xuan's eyes, pretending to be attracted by his hand, and then suddenly gave him a fierce meow punch.
"Hiss——"
The Eighth Prince took a breath of cold air, and the three little ones suddenly felt warmer around them.
"Ankang, how can you be so strong, cat?"
The Eighth Prince was shaking with pain, and his voice was trembling.
Even if Li Xuan did not stretch out his claws, but simply punched him on the back of his hand, it still hurt him deeply.
Li Xuan grinned, full of smug ridicule.
"Told you to stretch your hands."
Princess Ankang moved her eyes to the side with a guilty conscience, covered Li Xuan's mouth with a small hand to hide his ridicule, and said without blushing:
"Ah Xuan doesn't like eagles to touch him either."
The Eighth Prince said anxiously: "I've said that what I raise is a falcon, not an eagle."
"Do you understand the gyrfalcon, that is, the Saker Falcon."
Princess Ankang shook her head honestly and answered expressionlessly:
"Ankang doesn't understand, and I guess Ah Xuan doesn't understand either."
The Eighth Prince bared his teeth and took a breath.
He looked down and found that the back of his hand had turned blue after being slapped by Li Xuan.
He picked up the other hand and found it was still red.
One of the Eighth Prince's hands was slapped red by Princess Yuan An, and the other hand was slapped blue by Li Xuan.
"So unlucky today?"
The Eighth Prince wondered if he had not checked the almanac before going out today, why both of his hands were in bad condition.
Princess Yuan An, who was in the distance, had been secretly observing this side. Seeing the Eighth Prince screaming in pain after being slapped by Li Xuan, she felt very happy.
"You are so rude!"
But the next moment, Princess Yuan An couldn't help but feel a little envious.
"I also want to touch the cat's paw of the little black cat. It must be soft."
"By the way, the Thirteenth Princess just called the little black cat A Xuan."
"So his name is A Xuan!"
"Now that I know the name of the little black cat, it's not a waste of time today."
Princess Yuan An thought about it from another angle and felt that today was not completely fruitless.
But next, she couldn't help but start to have a headache, how to ease the relationship.
Getting on good terms with Princess Ankang was originally the easiest way for Princess Yuan An to get close to the little black cat.
But now it seems that this road is not easy to go.
But the harder it is, the more she cannot get it, the more Princess Yuan An cannot let go of Li Xuan.
As the saying goes, those who cannot get it are always in turmoil, and those who are favored are fearless.
Although Princess Yuan An is holding Bai Xiao in her arms, her heart has long been filled with Li Xuan.
"Ah Xuan, how can I get you?"
