Chapter 869 The Goddess Has a Golden Finger
The outside world all thought that Shi Li was Rong Yu's confidante brought back from Yucheng, and the two maids were no exception.
Hearing Rong Yu say this, the two maids looked at each other, then tacitly bowed to Rong Yu and retreated.
Shi Li then saw Rong Yu walking in from outside.
He had just taken off his outer armor, and still looked dusty, like a pearl covered in dust, which made people feel pity for him.
"His Majesty heard of your existence and asked me to bring you to the palace for a banquet tomorrow."
Rong Yu did not explain why he called Shi Li so intimately just now. There is some tacit understanding between smart people.
Shi Li certainly didn't ask any more questions. She just looked at her pink nails and asked, "What should I pay attention to?"
"Just follow me and don't worry too much." Rong Yu said in a gentle tone, giving people a full sense of security.
This was the only thing Li wanted to say when he came to see her, but he couldn't just say it and leave, otherwise the "intimate relationship" between them would definitely be suspected.
The elegant and luxurious Prince Jing's Mansion was different from the wilderness when they were traveling. Shi Li felt a little restrained in front of Rong Yu and didn't know what else to say.
The two looked at each other in the room.
“Are you arranging flowers?”
Rong Yu glanced at the vase on the table and the several kinds of flower branches placed next to it, and finally found a topic.
The vase and flower branches were what Shi Li used to kill time when she was free. When Rong Yu asked her about it, she just nodded casually.
Although flower arranging is not one of the six arts of a gentleman, a gentleman like Rong Yu who has been trained for many years still knows a thing or two about it.
He walked to the vase and looked at the bouquet that Shi Li had selected and put together. For a moment, he opened his mouth to say something, but in the end, no word came out.
"I think the blue flower in the middle looks good with the branches around it."
This was Shi Li’s first time arranging flowers, and she was very confident in her debut work. She looked at Rong Yu expectantly, waiting for him to appreciate it.
Rong Yu:......
Suddenly I felt that more than ten years of study had been wasted, and I didn’t even know what sentence to say in response.
[The host’s flower arrangement is… not as good as my three-year-old nephew~]
[How dare you say that? ? ? ]
[If it were me, I would definitely say that I just put it there casually and would never admit that this is my aesthetic!!!]
The barrage of comments mercilessly criticized Shi Li's "debut work" and criticized her to the point of being completely worthless.
Shi Li was a little confused.
I never expected that after spending half a day pondering over the flower arrangement, no one would appreciate it.
Then he looked at Rong Yu who had been silent, and couldn't help but ask disappointedly: "Is it ugly?"
There was a mist in her eyes, mixed with grievance and loss, like a homeless animal in the heavy rain.
Rong Yu didn't know why she thought of this metaphor, and her heart, which had originally felt nothing, suddenly felt a little soft.
"It's not ugly."
He looked back at the bouquet of flowers and slowly considered his words, "Very original and refreshing."
Even though she knew Rong Yu said that on purpose to comfort her, Shi Li was still comforted. She didn't deceive herself and grabbed her debut work and hid it in the drawer next to her.
"Forget it. I won't make it hard for you. I'm not good at flower arrangement, so I won't make it hard for myself in the future."
Rong Yu did not stop her, but looked at the remaining branches on the table, thought for a moment, selected a few of them, trimmed them a few times with the scissors beside him, and finally put them all in the vase.
【nice! ! ! 】
【Turning decay into magic~~~】
【6 turned over~】
Shi Li blinked, looked at the flowers in surprise, and then looked at Rong Yu.
"Give it to you."
Obviously, Rongyu was using his actions to comfort her hurt heart.
Shi Li looked at the vase again. This was the first time in her life that she had received flowers like this...
