Quick Wear: Under the Skirt, All Beings Are Equal

Chapter 427: The Traitor: Bright Moon, Drinking Alone in the Autumn

In blurry vision.

The big and small people in front of the steps changed into two people of the same age. The boy who was always liked by everyone and the arrogant girl glared at each other, neither of them giving in.

The girl swung the whip in her hand on the ground, making a crisp sound. She pointed the whip at the boy arrogantly: "Tang Ran, explain to me clearly what I mean by I only have mediocre skills. I don't need you to give in to me. You are making me hate you even more."

The young man shrugged indifferently, "Your Highness, Third Princess, you can think whatever you want."

The girl was so angry at that time. When she saw the boy's appearance, she didn't know why tears welled up in her eyes and she swung the whip at him fiercely.

The boy did not expect her to attack suddenly. He was caught off guard and the extremely powerful whip landed on his shoulder, tearing even his clothes.

Looking at the glaring wound, the young man also felt a little angry. "Li Jinyu, do you think I want to give in to you? If it weren't for your pitiful self-esteem as a princess, do you think there are people in the palace who can't beat you?"

"You really think you are so powerful, but that's because everyone is concerned about your identity. If you were out there, you would have been beaten into a pig's head by others."

As he was talking, the young man snatched the whip from her hand. Seeing her standing there in a daze, he felt that he had not vented enough anger, so he hit the ground with the whip several times.

The girl was so frightened that she took a few steps back.

Obviously the whip didn't hit her, but she felt very sad.

"Tang Ran, you bastard." She squatted down and burst into tears.

The young man's face almost turned blue with anger, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I, a wounded person, didn't cry, but you started crying instead."

"Leave me alone."

Although she was crying, the girl was still very strong.

The boy could no longer bear it and threatened: "Shut up, if you cry again I will throw you into the water to sober you up."

Little Jinyu was so scared that she didn't dare to cry. She knew that the boy in front of her was a man of his words. She just opened her red eyes and stared at the boy unyieldingly.

The young man threw the whip on the ground and looked at her silently. Seeing how pitiful she was, which was different from her usual arrogant and domineering appearance, he calmed down a little.

"Alright, alright, get up quickly." The young man glanced at the people who were approaching and said sarcastically, "If you don't want to embarrass yourself in front of everyone, you'd better get up quickly, otherwise you will feel embarrassed as a princess and take your anger out on others."

At this time Li Limu and others came over. When they saw the injuries on the boy's body and the girl squatting on the ground with red eyes, they were all shocked.

"Did you two fight?"

The girl remained silent, feeling embarrassed and not wanting to speak.

The young man said nonchalantly, "No, the Third Princess is very strong and I can't beat her. I got hurt accidentally when I was playing with the whip just now because I was not convinced."

Everyone laughed and teased: "Tang Ran, you can hurt yourself just by wielding a whip..."

Li Jinyu forgot what she was thinking at that time. She only remembered that Tang Ran was standing under the pear tree, taking everything on with an indifferent look on her face, protecting her shaky self-esteem.

At that time, she felt that Tang Ran was the best person in the world.

She said arrogantly that she would protect Tang Ran from now on, and she would beat to death anyone who dared to bully him.

Of course, this was just her wishful thinking.

The proud little princess simply ignored the boy's expression as if he was looking at her like a fool.

After all, the boy really didn't need anyone's protection. Even if the boy fought with her, the emperor would only scold her.

The sight in front of me gradually became clear. It was still the same two, the big and the small. The boy from that year was still so patiently coaxing the crying little girl.

Li Jinyu quietly watched the two people getting along harmoniously, and many details of the past flashed through his mind.

Tang Ran has been very popular since he was a child. Both princesses and princes like to be around him.

Even the gentle and well-behaved Li Limu liked to chase after him. Every time he saw a smile on Tang Ran's face, the people who were staring at him couldn't help but laugh as well.

He is good-looking, smart and careful, kind and considerate of others' emotions. He is talented in both studying and martial arts. The master and the emperor both love him and are never stingy with their praise for the young man.

At that time, it could be said that all the beautiful words could describe Tang Ran.

Even someone like Li Jinyu, who never admits defeat, has to admit that Tang Ran is better than him.

The young man was a man of both literary and martial talents. He won the imperial examination and became the husband candidate that countless girls in the city of Bianjing were looking forward to.

She also went to the parade that day.

The bright sunlight came down from the clouds, and the young man that everyone was looking forward to came on a tall horse. He had an upright posture and was full of vigor. Sachets embroidered by girls were thrown towards the man who had won the imperial examination.

At that time, she was standing by the window of the teahouse, looking at it, and after thinking for a while, she took off the sachet from her waist and threw it to the crowd.

Probably because of his martial arts training, the sachet hit Tanhualang on the head accurately. He caught it and looked at the familiar patterns on the sachet. He searched around the crowd for the culprit who had harmed him.

Fourteen-year-old Li Jinyu hid himself guiltily, not knowing what he was thinking.

It was not until the parade was over that she returned to the palace in boredom, thinking about what had happened that day.

She curled her lips and thought that if she could take part in the imperial examination, she would be better than Tang Ran and win the top prize. When she paraded, she would be much more glorious than Tang Ran.

At that time, Li Jinyu was fearless and always had some fantastic ideas in his mind.

My favorite part is the scene where a woman disguises herself as a man to do justice, save the beauty, and hold a fan in her elegant and graceful manner. She also made a name for herself in the capital.

Later, the Jade-faced Young Master Li Sanshao died, leaving behind only the sickly Third Princess Li Jinyu.

Tang Ran and the Sixteenth Princess were chatting on the steps, while Li Jinyu breathed softly and looked at the stars in the sky. In her ears was the incessant chirping of cicadas, a noise as non-stop as the rain in midsummer, which always made people feel a bit of comfort and ease.

Li Jinyu heard the innocent voice of the Sixteenth Princess and hoped that she and Tang Ran could live in peace.

She smiled bitterly, what a silly Sixteen.

The third sister had a premonition of some things, but she hated the fact that everyone was covering up, hated the fact that everyone kept her in the dark, and hated the fact that everyone forced her against her will under the banner of doing good for her.

This feeling made her wish she would die.

She had been searching for so many years but had found nothing. Her father, her mother, her brother the Crown Prince, and Tang Ran had all woven a dream of wealth and glory for her and built her a gorgeous cage, but this cage was covered with a layer of cloth that obscured her eyes and prevented her from seeing what was outside the cage.

What are they hiding from me?

There is something that I cannot accept now.

Li Jinyu sighed softly and walked out. No matter whether Tang Ran was really doing this for her own good, she couldn't accept him breaking into her room, pinching her mouth, and pouring all the medicine into her.

Now she lives on with only hatred in her heart.

"Little Sixteen, come to Third Sister."

Princess Sixteen stood up somewhat at a loss, as if she had done something wrong, and walked towards Li Jinyu with her head lowered.

Seeing Li Jinyu's red eyes, the little princess took the initiative to reach out and hold her hand tightly, saying: "Third sister, I'm sorry, Xiao Shiliu was wrong."

Li Jinyu bent down and easily held her in his arms. He even stood on tiptoe and chuckled, "It's a lot heavier now."

Looking at the little guy crying silently, Li Jinyu sighed softly in his heart.

"Third sister, don't be angry. Stop crying. It's heartbreaking to see."

The little princess held her tightly, hugged her neck tightly, and apologized in a muffled voice.

Because the little princess was there, Li Jinyu rarely turned her face away from Tang Ran and said, "It's not safe at night. It would be bad if you bump into something. If you want to go out next time, let the palace maid follow you."

"Really?" The little princess looked up with surprise, tears still hanging in the corners of her eyes. When she saw her third sister nod, she happily kissed her third sister on the cheek a few times.

Li Jinyu frowned: "Your saliva."
