Chapter 13: The Cold and Arrogant Master is Actually a Great Enemy
The next day, Shao Quan received a letter from a colleague and went out early.
When Shi Li walked towards the study, she only saw the housekeeper waiting at the door.
"The master has gone out for something, please go back, young lady." The butler had a kind face and spoke in a friendly manner.
But for some reason, Shi Li heard a hint of ridicule in his tone.
Her eyelashes flickered slightly, and she looked down at the tip of her shoes, trying to force an explanation, "I was just passing by..."
"Well, the girl was just passing by." The housekeeper had an expression that said, "I believe whatever you say."
Forget it, the more you talk, the more mistakes you make.
Shi Li gave up.
I returned to my room and sat by the bed for a while, suddenly feeling bored.
I used to live like this and never felt bored.
Now he's becoming pretentious.
[The love between an ignorant boy and a young girl is so beautiful~~~]
[To be honest, these two are both adults, so why is their relationship acting like a premature love affair between elementary school students? ]
[Although, it's so sweet 0 0]
[Let's make a bet and bet on who can be the toughest talker! ]
There were many old hands in the live broadcast room, who could see Shi Li's abnormality, but they deliberately did not remind her. Instead, they chatted happily in private, secretly wondering when she would be able to see her own heart clearly.
Shi Li stayed in the house bored for a whole morning and finally decided to go outside for some fresh air.
There is a not-too-small garden in the backyard, and now is the time when the flowers are fragrant.
The flowers are colorful and the scenery is unique.
But Shi Li left the house and walked in the opposite direction, straight to the front door.
Looking at the empty streets outside, she was completely stunned.
What are you looking forward to?
She is just a passer-by who has come here for a short time and will leave soon. How can I really have feelings for her?
Shi Li reminded herself secretly in her heart and turned around to leave.
But Shao Quan did not come back, but the eunuchs and sedan chair from the palace came to pick him up.
The only owner was not at home, and the eunuch did not care. He directly explained his purpose to the housekeeper who came out to greet him.
"Princess Nan'an and Miss Xiaohong in the mansion are old acquaintances. Please come to the palace."
Hearing this, Shi Li, who was standing beside with her hands hanging down, frowned slightly.
An ominous premonition rose from the bottom of my heart.
She didn't remember knowing this princess, and she didn't want to enter the palace.
When she was dressed as a eunuch, she had experienced the horror of the palace and would never want to go there again, let alone as a humble maid.
If she really arrived at the palace, anyone could kill her.
But people who come out of the palace don't care whether she is willing or not.
After the eunuch finished speaking, he stared at the butler with sharp eyes and said threateningly, "Let Miss Xiaohong come out. The sedan chair sent by the princess is waiting outside."
The people in the palace came to pick someone up under the princess's order. Not to mention that Shao Quan was not there, even if he was there, they could not disobey.
Seeing that the butler didn't say anything, Shi Li didn't want to embarrass him, so she took the initiative to stand up and said, "I am."
The eunuch narrowed his eyes and looked her up and down, then raised the whisk in his hand slightly, turned around and walked out.
"Come with me, girl."
Shi Li took a deep breath and followed him out.
When I passed by the housekeeper, I heard him say in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, young lady. I will come back with the master right away."
"It's okay, I'm not afraid." Shi Li turned around and smiled at the housekeeper.
She was originally quite strong, but when she heard the housekeeper mention Shao Quan, she felt a slight soreness in her nose and became sentimental.
In order to avoid embarrassment, he quickly hid in the sedan chair.
The sedan chair could only carry Shi Li to the palace gate.
Once you enter the palace, you have to rely on your own two legs. After all, only those high-ranking nobles can use "transportation" in the palace.
Along the way, Shi Li lowered his head deeply and followed the eunuch who led the way. He did not dare to look around, for fear of accidentally touching some dead end buff.
On the way here just now, although she was ready for "game over", she still wanted to try to hide.
What if there is a chance for development?
She didn't want to leave this world too soon.
The journey was safe and sound. When they entered the palace of Princess Nan'an, Shi Li lowered his head and heard a familiar voice.
"Xiaohong, you are finally here!"
Shi Li looked up in surprise, only to see a "jewelry booth" appear in front of her.
The sunlight outside the door shone on her, and the light reflected by the gold, silver and jewelry almost blinded her eyes.
Shi Li couldn't help it and raised her hands to cover her eyes.
She admitted that the clothes and jewelry were extremely luxurious and exquisite, but she was a princess after all, so couldn't she have some sense of style?
Does it really look good to ignore everything and just arm yourself from head to toe with gold, silver and jewelry?
[Hahaha! Life goes on, complaints never stop, come on, anchor! ]
[I just like the host’s spirit of always being at the forefront of complaints! ]
[I support the anchor! I want a pair of eyes that have never seen Xiao Huang! ]
Obviously, the friends in the live broadcast room were also blinded by the scene and started to complain crazily along with Shi Li.
Xiao Huang was totally unaware of all this, and even took the initiative to come over and hold Shi Li's hand with a 70% show-off and 30% calculation, "It's been so long, I missed you so much!"
"Your Highness, please forgive me."
Shi Li only felt a chill on the hand she was holding, and the hairs on her body stood up instantly.
In all her memories, Xiao Huang had never been so close to her.
She also didn't believe that Xiao Huang, now that she had become a princess high above everyone else, would still miss her.
Even the bright smile on Xiao Huang's face made Shi Li feel a little scared. She wished she could stay eight feet away from Xiao Huang immediately.
But because she was a precious princess, Shi Li could not hide and could only stand stiffly and force a smile.
"Okay, all of you go down. I want to talk to Xiaohong in private!" Xiao Huang seemed unable to see and pulled her hand to give orders to the eunuchs and palace maids around them.
Yueying was not there, and everyone else was afraid of Xiao Huang, so they all retreated after hearing what he said.
Soon, Xiao Huang and Shi Li were the only ones left in the huge palace.
Shi Li didn't know what she was trying to do. At this moment, he could only remain unchanged in the face of all changes, try his best to deal with her, and subconsciously wanted to delay time.
"Look, what I live in, what I wear, what I eat, and what I use are all the best." Xiao Huang let go of Shi Li's hand and turned around in front of her without any concealment or showing off.
She should have made a quick decision, but as someone who had finally become rich, she really wanted to show off, especially in front of people she used to know.
Xiao Huang finally got this opportunity and his mind became unclear.
Shi Li also noticed this and nodded in agreement, "It's all due to the princess, she is so noble."
Hearing this, Xiao Huang suddenly showed a mysterious smile on his face, turned around and took a cup of tea and held it in his hand.
Then, in front of Shi Li, she took out a small paper bag from her sleeve, opened it, and poured the unknown white powder inside into the tea.
"Princess?" Shi Li saw that the powder did not look like a good thing, and subconsciously took a step back, his face turning pale.
Xiao Huang threw away the paper bag, smiled even more brightly, and said in a very light voice: "Xiao Hong, poisoning the princess is a capital crime, do you know?"
After saying that, he let go, and the teacup fell to the ground.
Snapped!
