Chapter 10: The Cold and Arrogant Master is Actually a Great Enemy
Of course the letter was sent back by Shao Jing.
As usual, the unreliable brother used most of the letter to describe in detail the food in Nanling, and the remaining small part of the letter told another incredible story.
Many years ago, the little princess born to the late imperial concubine was accidentally stranded among the people.
Although the former imperial concubine had passed away long ago, Emperor Jin had never given up the search, and he actually found her recently, in Nanling.
At the end of the letter, Shao Jing wrote something that made Shao Quan's veins jump.
——Speaking of which, this Princess Nan'an and I really have a connection. She is Xiao Huang who has been by my side for two years.
After reading this sentence, Shao Quan felt that his brother had probably had enough of Nanling and wanted to move to another place to continue being demoted.
Although under normal circumstances, the communication between two people will not be seen by a third party.
But, can I tell you that a princess who is so noble and precious used to be my maid?
Shao Quan especially wanted to ask his good brother in person whether his head was stuck by the honey fruit from Nanling!
Suddenly, such a miraculous event as the princess returning home occurred. Shao Quan could no longer rest in peace. As soon as the arrow wound scabbed over, he set out to return to the court.
[Even a man of iron cannot be made like this! 】
[My great Grand Master, are you so unlucky that you die so young? ]
[Host, I'll give you a Night Pearl. Please persuade him to heal his wounds before leaving~~~]
Everyone in the live broadcast room was worried about Shao Quan. Shi Li frowned and remained silent.
Of course she was worried, but her identity and status prevented her from speaking out.
Just before getting on the carriage, he walked to Shao Quan and asked in a low voice, "My Lord's injury..."
"It's okay." Shao Quan lowered his eyes and looked at her, the corners of his mouth twitched as if he was about to smile.
Shi Li followed him into the carriage, and the two sat on either side.
The road was inevitably bumpy, and every time the road was uneven, Shi Li couldn't help but secretly look at him, worried that the wound would split.
Later, maybe because she had seen too much or for some other reason, Shao Quan suddenly said, "You have worked hard to take care of me these days. When we go into the city, I will give you a day off to go out for a walk."
Although Shi Li has a hobby of shopping, she must be so heartless to have the mood to go shopping now.
Shi Li looked at Shao Quan speechlessly, "No need..."
Shao Quan looked at her cold face and was confused.
He clearly remembered that his brother had "inadvertently" mentioned in a letter that Shi Li liked to go shopping.
Why is she unwilling to go out now?
In the officialdom, Shao Quan can deal with old foxes who have been in office for decades, but he can never understand the minds of young girls.
After thinking about it for a long time, I finally came up with a reason that I thought was reasonable.
So he looked at Shi Li's cold profile, cleared his throat, and said seriously: "I will go back to the mansion later. Let the housekeeper give you a monthly salary first, and then go out."
The reason he came up with was that Shi Li had no money, so she didn't want to go out.
This time, not only Shi Li, but everyone in the live broadcast room was shocked.
It turns out that the Grand Tutor is such a straight man!
[Pah, pah, pah! What a straight man! This guy is obviously a boyfriend at his best! ]
[Translated, it means "I give you the money, spend it as you like", my love, Grand Master~~~]
Shi Li came to her senses and swallowed the words of refusal she was about to say.
It was nothing else, she was just worried that Shao Quan would continue to think of excuses for her.
Forget it, forget it, just go out for a walk, at worst I can just walk around the gate and come back.
Shi Li compromised.
Finally, they returned to Shao Mansion safely.
The butler was already waiting outside the door.
When he saw Shao Quan getting off the carriage, he immediately came up to help him and said something in a low voice.
Shi Li heard it because she was close.
The housekeeper said, "The person who shot the arrow that day has been caught."
Her attention was immediately drawn to him and she stared at Shao Quan closely.
Who knew that Shao Quan just nodded, and then said to the housekeeper: "Give...Xiaohong some monthly money, and give her a day off today."
Hearing this, the housekeeper's face suddenly lit up with joy, and he looked at Shi Li with a smile, "Miss, you have worked hard, come with me."
Shi Li twisted her foot and almost fell to the ground.
At the same time, I complained in my heart: Why don’t you guys figure out who is stabbing me in the back? Why did the topic suddenly shift to me?
But no matter how she screamed in her heart, Shao Quan and the housekeeper could not hear her.
One of them went straight to the study, and the other led her in front to get the silver.
Finally, Shi Li gave up struggling and went with the flow.
Holding the heavy purse given by the housekeeper, he walked out of the Shao Mansion with an expressionless face.
When he arrived outside the gate, Shi Li looked at both sides of the road in confusion, not knowing where to go.
Now that I'm out and have taken the silver, it doesn't seem like a normal thing for me to just walk around outside the gate and go back.
I took a few steps forward and suddenly a casual remark made by the butler flashed through my mind.
"My Lord really likes the lotus seed cake from Xu Ji in the east of the city."
Then, the feet seemed to have their own consciousness and walked towards the east of the city.
Xuji Pastry Shop is located in the east of the city, very close to the city gate.
When Shi Li got closer, she realized that there were a lot of people on the street today. They were all standing respectfully on both sides of the road, as if they were waiting for some important person to arrive.
Shi Li's curiosity was aroused, and two passers-by nearby happened to ask and answer questions, which cleared up her doubts.
"Princess Nan'an is going back to the palace today?"
"Of course, the saint takes her very seriously and has sent a huge welcoming procession!"
"The princess has been living outside the palace for so many years, alas..."
"Tsk tsk, good days are finally here. I'm so envious!"
Shi Li listened to most of what happened nearby and got the general idea.
Just then the city gate was opened, and a huge convoy flowed into the city, with guards and maids surrounding a gorgeous sedan chair like stars surrounding the moon.
The sedan chair was surrounded by curtains embroidered with gold thread, which sparkled in the sun and blocked the people's view.
When Shi Li was reincarnated as a eunuch, he had seen the imperial sedan chair. Now when he saw the sedan chair of Princess Nan'an, he felt that there was no difference.
But to say that I'm not envious at all would be a lie.
The status of a princess and a maid is a world apart!
Oh, if only she could travel through time and space and become a princess.
Day after day, the people who travel through time are either eunuchs or maids. I've had enough!
After the princess's procession had gone far away, Shi Li followed the crowd and continued walking towards Xu's Pastry Shop.
She arrived just in time, and the freshly steamed pastries had just come out of the pot.
You can smell the sweet aroma of pastries across the street without having to go into the shop.
Shi Li took a deep breath and was tempted by the smell. In addition to the lotus seed cake, she also bought some red date cakes and pea rolls.
The three kinds of pastries were wrapped in wax paper and were still warm when they were given to her.
It would be a shame if you don’t eat pastries like this while they’re hot.
Shi Li thought about it, paid the money and left the shop, subconsciously quickening his pace and walking back.
Little did we know that the private discussion group had started again.
[I can see that Lili is moved! Look how fast she walks! ]
[Alas! This damn sweet desire to share~]
[Mom! I got it for real, so sweet 0 0]
