Li Piaoqing, who was washing the tea set, lifted her head and met Li Xizhou's gentle eyes.
"What does Your Highness mean by this statement?"
"Did I not make myself clear?"
"Piaoqing didn't understand very clearly."
"To act in one's position, one must consider one's duties." Li Xizhou looked down, fiddling with her fingers.
"Oh... I think it's best if Your Highness doesn't dwell too much on matters concerning Chief Ming." Li Piaoqing said, "Lest..."
"Lest what?"
Li Piaoqing smiled slightly and said no more.
"Lest you bring shame upon yourself?"
"Piaoqing wouldn't dare."
"Half a year ago, a little lover came to see me; wasn't it more than worthwhile?"
Li Piaoqing's smile stiffened, "Piaoqing naturally cannot compare to Your Highness."
Li Xizhou ignored her choice of words, "Aren't you thinking that if you hadn't let go, I wouldn't have had a chance?"
