Chapter 25: The Cold and Arrogant Master is Actually a Great Enemy
At this moment, Shao Quan was facing a terrifying scene like a Shura field.
The brother who was supposed to be in Nanling suddenly appeared and sat in his study with a lazy look on his face.
On the clean table, there were scattered fruit cores, and juice splashed everywhere, which made him want to frown.
This is not the most terrible.
The most terrifying thing was that the housekeeper stood next to Shao Jing and looked at him reproachfully with a look that Shao Quan didn't understand.
It was as if Shao Quan had committed some unforgivable crime.
"Brother..." Shao Quan glanced at the housekeeper and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Shao Jing elegantly spat out a deep orange fruit core, his peach blossom eyes swept over the butler, and he could hardly suppress the smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Wenyu, the housekeeper just told me that because of Princess Nan'an, there is no Xiaohong in the mansion anymore?"
Shao Quan looked at the housekeeper with an indescribable look.
I finally understand why this old man has been so dissatisfied with me lately.
However, Xiao Jin had already said that no one was allowed to discuss the eldest princess's identity casually, and Shao Quan really couldn't tell the housekeeper directly.
The result is the current situation.
Shao Quan thought about it and decided to change the subject. He looked at Shao Jing seriously and said, "Brother, Nanling..."
"I'm tired of eating honey fruit, so I came back to change the taste." Shao Jing still spoke in a nonsensical manner.
Shao Quan was at a loss for words.
Shao Jing had teased his brother enough, so he stood up leisurely, walked over, patted Shao Quan on the shoulder, and said earnestly -
"No matter which girl you like, if you really like her, remember to act quickly. Everyone likes a good girl. If someone else gets her first, it will be too late for you to regret it."
After saying that, he stretched out his arms lazily and said, "Okay, that's all I have to say. I finally got back and I have to go see my old friend Chengyou."
No one knows that Chengyou is Xiao Jin's courtesy name.
When the previous emperor was alive, Shao Jingzheng was the prince's companion. Then one day, for some reason, he offended the prince and was driven out of the East Palace.
After that, the prince succeeded to the throne, and Shao Jing's official career was not smooth. After finally being promoted, he was demoted soon.
But in fact, this was all a trick played by Xiao Jin and Shao Jing in order to paralyze those with ulterior motives in the court.
Over the years, almost no one has discovered the truth.
Shao Quan watched his brother leave, then turned back to look at the housekeeper, "You misunderstood, the princess didn't kill anyone."
He decided that the next time he had the chance, he would bring the butler into the palace and let him see the truth with his own eyes.
Otherwise, I will have to bear the blame forever.
In the palace, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse.
Xiao Jin wanted to meet an old friend, and rarely came to Yuli Palace.
Shi Li ate a lot of fruits in the afternoon, so she didn't eat much for dinner. Yueying was worried that she might not be able to digest it well, so she urged her to go for a walk in the garden.
The garden at night is particularly lively. The bright light shines on the delicate petals, and each petal seems to be glowing.
Shi Li was lazy and reluctant to go out at first, but when she saw such beautiful scenery, she gradually became intoxicated by it.
I walked a long way without realizing it, and happened to run into a team of patrolling guards passing by not far away.
Each of them was wearing armor, marching in unison, and their momentum was like thunder.
To be a guard in the palace, one must not only be skilled in martial arts, but also have a good appearance. Shi Li unconsciously shifted his gaze from the flowers and looked at the row of long legs in uniform with admiration.
Unexpectedly, the captain of the guards saw her and came over.
"Your subordinate greets the princess."
Under the moonlight, a row of long legs knelt on one knee in front of Shi Li.
This picture should not be too impactful.
Shi Li took a deep breath and smiled awkwardly, "Get up."
"Thank you, Your Highness." The leader of the team had the most outstanding appearance, with sharp eyebrows, a high nose bridge, broad shoulders and long arms, which made people feel safe at first sight.
But they were just guards, and after paying their respects to the princess, they left in an obedient manner.
Instead, Yueying came up and glanced at Shili, "Princess, do you know who that person was just now?"
"Who is it?" Shi Li didn't expect to meet a guard of status. He widened his eyes vigilantly and asked.
Yueying smiled slightly and replied calmly: "Captain of the Imperial Guard Qi Hao, Qi Rong's biological brother, and the Empress Dowager's biological nephew."
Shi Li sighed with regret.
When she heard the surname "Qi", she knew that things were not simple.
"Yueying," the gentle moonlight shining on Shi Li's wrinkled cheeks, she asked seriously, "Do I, do I look like a piece of fat meat now?"
I originally thought that meeting those long-legged girls was a wonderful accident, but now it seems more like it was premeditated.
The Qi family's ambitions are really huge.
If she gave birth to a daughter, she would always be thinking about the position of the queen in the harem; if she gave birth to a son, he would even run in front of the princess to show his presence. Does he really think that people with the surname Qi are infinitely charming?
Being disturbed like this, Shi Li lost the mood to appreciate the scenery and walked back with his head down.
"Princess, don't be sad." Yueying couldn't bear to see her depressed, so she comforted her as she walked, "Princess, when you choose a prince consort in the future, you don't have to consider anything. Just choose whoever you want."
This was the first time someone mentioned the word "Prince Consort" in front of Shi Li. Shi Li paused and looked up at the round moon.
A figure like a fairy jade tree flashed before my eyes, with a pair of extremely beautiful phoenix eyes.
"What do you mean by a prince consort or not? Yueying, you, don't say that!"
Shi Li hurriedly quickened her pace, trying to hide the blush on her face from being seen.
However, Yueying may not have seen it, but the friends in the live broadcast room saw it clearly.
After all, the live broadcast rooms of the new era all have built-in exposure effects, so you can see the host’s face clearly even in the darkest day.
[As for the color of a monkey's butt, I finally saw it today. ]
[I thought the light ahead was red, so I stepped on the brakes~]
[Can you guys give the girl some face, hahaha! ]
Fortunately, Shi Li kept her head down and didn't look at the barrage, otherwise it would have been enough to make her head smoke.
Thanks to Empress Dowager Qi's help, Qi Rong stood at the gate of Yuli Palace again the next day.
"Miss Qi, please come in." Following Shishi Li's instructions, Yueying brought Qi Rong into Yuli Palace and asked the palace servants to pour her some fragrant tea.
"The princess is still washing, please wait a moment Miss Qi." Yueying explained and then walked into the bedroom.
Shi Li was sitting in front of the dressing table, trying to put a bright red flower on her forehead. When she saw Yueying, she couldn't help but ask, "Why did she come so early?"
"If you have a wish in your heart, it will come early." Yueying replied, taking the flower ornament and skillfully helping Shili put it on her forehead, "The princess looks very beautiful."
Shi Li was already used to being praised by Yueying in various ways every day, so she accepted the praise generously, stood up, lifted the hem of her skirt, and said helplessly, "Let's go, let's see what Miss Qi really has."
She walked out of the bedroom and saw Qi Rong sitting there drinking tea calmly.
"I pay my respects to Your Highness. Sorry to bother you." When she saw Shi Li, she immediately stood up and saluted. Her posture was graceful and elegant, which was pleasing to the eye.
"Don't bother me, don't bother me. I'm just bored being alone all day." Shi Li put on a friendly smile and responded enthusiastically.
Inwardly: Oh, is this a way of showing off my dignified and generous side as a model for the country?
