Chapter 33 Your Highness, Please Respect Yourself
Liuli asked Qing Ning to find someone to arrange the banquet immediately, while she took Xiao Ya around the house, and then went to invite the women in person. There were four doors in the "Enjoyment" hall, so there was no need to go to the same place as the men.
.And the corridors surrounding the lobby are exactly where the maids or servants waiting around stand.
"I brought you a gift." Xiao Ya said as she walked. "It's a bunch of emerald bells, which are said to come from the Japanese country. They are hung in front of the window in the summer, and they jingle when the wind blows. It sounds very...
It's so pleasant, it feels cool all over your body. In fact, even looking at it, it's so green and green, it's comfortable for your eyes."
Isn't it just a wind chime? Liuli thought, but a smile appeared on her face, "The princess is so generous, I am a bit flattered."
"Call me Yaya." Xiao Ya corrected, "This is the first time the sea ban has been lifted. I still like the things I picked up from so many ships. But although I am reluctant to part with them, I still give them to you. I'm okay
?”
"It's really good!" Liuli raised his thumb and said.
Judging from the location, climatic conditions and navigation technology of the Zhao Kingdom, ships going out to sea do not have mechanical power and must rely on wind power. Therefore, they have to be anchored in the port in autumn and wait for the winter monsoon before they can be loaded and set sail. Then, in summer
Take advantage of the wind and return home with a full load. It can be said that the shipping cycle is still quite long. I just wonder how much restrictions are placed on the sea route that Xiao Shiyi secretly opened up?
He did so many things quietly. I'm afraid that firstly, he did a good job in keeping secrets, and secondly... maybe he did the opposite. If the sea line is along the land line, it will be relatively free.
.But diplomacy with coastal countries is another problem. If he can successfully obtain the navigation rights of many small countries' coastlines, even the Emperor of Zhao cannot do it. He is really... too scary!
Taking Xiao Ya to the back house, after the girls met the princess, they all went to the east road together. After everyone was seated, Liuli walked out of the entertainment hall, looking for someone to ask Shui Shiqiao if there was anything else.
There was nothing to arrange, so she looked around for a long time. But she didn't see a servant or maid. Just when she was wondering, there was a sudden hot air blowing in her ears, and it went straight into her ears.
Liuli managed to jump three feet away. Fortunately, she reacted quickly enough and didn't even look back. She said coldly, "Your Highness, please respect yourself."
"The concentration is very good." Xiao Yu walked out from the side, holding a piece of dead grass that he got from somewhere in his hand, twisting it around his finger, looking very leisurely, "Don't look for it. Everyone has been fooled by me.
Sent away."
Liuli frowned, but heard Xiao Yu continue. "You must be saying, I am an outsider, even if I am the king of the county, who can give orders to your servants? What's more, most of them are members of the Cao Gang. It's actually simple.
Very well, I’ll just say it’s your order. Tsk, tsk, I found that Miss Shui’s words are more useful than those of Supervisor Shui Gang.”
"What does Your Highness the County Prince want to do?" Liuli turned around and asked, somewhat impatiently.
Xiao Yu seemed to have not seen this body movement that rejected people thousands of miles away, and said in a good voice. "I want to ask you, do you need help?"
Liuli couldn't laugh or cry, "Your Highness, this is just a warm banquet. Will you help me entertain the female guests, or will you be responsible for serving the food?"
"The drunkard's intention is not in the bar." Xiao Yu continued to shake the grass, "When you look at people and things, you have to look at the essence, the bones. Outsiders say that the leader of the Shui Da Gang is rough, hospitable, and loves to make friends. But I feel,
Your brother is actually a very proud man. Looking at Tokyo, the powerful and high-ranking officials think they are great, but he looks down on none of them. In this case, why make friends with a general of the Shenwu Army? Unless there is another purpose."
Liuli didn't say anything, because she would make many mistakes. But even if she didn't say anything, this terrible man would still find clues. It's not that they are not smart, it's that someone is a devil. If you are targeted by him, you can't escape his plan.
"It's not that I'm particularly scheming." Xiao Yu seemed to understand Liuli's thoughts, and said with a mocking smile, "It's because the nobles think that common people are fools, even the emperor is the same, so they can't see many things clearly. With their own wishes,
Understand folk affairs. Who said that those who are involved in the world must be easy to fool, and they must be two hundred and fifty?"
"I don't need help." Liuli abruptly changed the topic and refused.
Xiao Yu didn't take it seriously. In fact, he liked Liuli being so direct. After being exposed, he would never try to save him, do useless things or pretend to be pitiful, but would be aggressive. Whenever he met on a narrow road, he would just show his knife if he couldn't avoid it.
For Liuli, only when there are common interests can there be an alliance. Now she is her and he is him. She is wary of him and does not trust him. If it is not necessary cooperation, she really does not want to have a relationship. Xiao Yu
The scary thing is that he plays with people's hearts. No matter how strong the person on the dragon throne is, he is just playing with power.
"When Guo Younian was able to marry the You family, they thought it was because the Marquis of Huainan wanted to use his concubine to make friends with an inconspicuous military officer, so that he would not violate the emperor's taboo and strengthen the family's connections. In fact, it was because the You family went to the mountains to offer incense and met him on the way.
He killed a gangster and almost lost his innocence, but was rescued by Guo Younian." Regardless of whether Liuli listened or not, Xiao Yu said directly, "This move was a gesture of gratitude and a gag. After all, only the person involved knew the best about what happened at that time.
If it is leaked, all the daughters of Huainan Hou's family will be implicated. However, I do think that the gangsters' affairs are very strange."
Liuli heard what Xiao Yu was referring to, and recalled that Wang Linlang had told her before that Guo Younian had made many shady people, and she immediately became wary. It seemed that Guo Younian knew more than just them.
That one, and there are others.
"Gangster, hero saving beauty, what a terrible trick." Liuli snorted.
"Don't be afraid of bad tricks, as long as they work." Xiao Yu said, "You suffered harm during the Chinese New Year, it's still the same way? If it can be used repeatedly, it must be useful repeatedly."
Thinking of that incident, Liuli couldn't help but feel so angry that blood rushed to her face.
Fortunately, Xiao Yu was very measured, or rather graceful, and did not continue this embarrassing topic. He only said, "I have been paying attention to Shui Shiqiao ever since I met Guo Younian. Now, although I don't know what you want
How to do it, but what I just said is considered as the information I sent. Next time I help you, you will have to make an equal exchange. After all, we are allies, not family, right?"
"His Royal Highness, the hidden stakes are really powerful." Liuli still did not answer Xiao Yu's words directly, and said his own. But this sentence is a sincere compliment. Guo Younian, such an inconspicuous official, did such secret things,
Xiao Yu can detect it, so what else can't he grasp?
"My Peach Blossom Pond is not in vain." Xiao Yu said it bluntly, almost telling Liuli directly that the famous place where fireworks and orioles bloom is actually for serious business. He, a romantic man, is not actually a womanizer.
Everything is a deception.
"Your Highness, can you leave first?" Liuli couldn't help but keep jumping on the topic, preventing Xiao Yu from taking the initiative.
"What? Are you afraid that I will see what you are going to do?" Xiao Yu smiled.
"I'm afraid you'll laugh." Liuli said coldly, turned around and left, "I will send someone to deliver the secret technique that Zhang promised you."
"I will ask someone to try. If the little liar cheats again, he wants to marry me to compensate." Xiao Yu's voice caught up from behind.
Liuli ignored him.
If he doesn't molest her, will he die? But whether he dies or not, she just ignores her and doesn't respond.
But what she didn't expect was that Xiao Yu didn't come to the table. It happened that he had been pretending to be sick a few days ago, so he said he wasn't feeling well and left in advance. However, although he left, the gift was left behind, and his face was flawless.
The jade wall is as big as a screen, which shows how rich he is. This is purely to show off his wealth, and it doesn't matter where he wants to put it. However, Xiao Yu gave a lot of precious medicinal materials, which are always available in the big family, and they are very similar.
intimate.
Liuli secretly tried to figure out Xiao Yu's state of mind: Was he afraid that she would be uncomfortable, or was he really going to laugh, so he left?
But no matter what, the scripted play still had to be performed. As the night gradually fell, the lights in the water house were brightly lit, the banquet gradually got into a good mood, and the guests and hosts were enjoying themselves.
In the middle position, the men exchange cups and cups, discussing trivial matters such as government affairs or elegant matters such as music, chess, calligraphy and painting. The women behind the screen naturally talk about clothes, jewelry and other topics. The maids who are personally waiting on the ladies and ladies,
Standing in the corridor of the outer circle, everyone was very well-behaved, making no abnormal noise at all, and not attracting attention, just like a breathing layout board.
When the last soup dish was served, Liuli blinked at Ling Hongdie who was standing by the door arranging people. After a while, a maid suddenly tripped over her skirt and fell to the ground, spilling the soup basin in her hand.
Although the guests were not scalded, broken porcelain and soup splashed everywhere, causing the maids waiting on the porch to scream. It was considered a minor accident.
But soon, after a flurry of fuss and various inquiries, Ling Hongdie quickly cleaned up the situation. The guests just regarded it as a small incident and forgot about the unexpected incident in the blink of an eye. Only one person, a man, sat in shock.
There, the expression became extremely strange.
"Brother Guo, what's the matter? Are you worried about your sister-in-law?" Shui Shiqiao asked with a smile, "How about I send someone to ask my sister to see if she is frightened?" Across the screen, I stood aside even if I wanted to do the ironing.
Maid, Shui Shiqiao thought and looked at Qing Ning.
Here, Guo Younian shook his head. Although he reminded himself not to lose his composure, he still couldn't help but look in the direction where the maids were standing. His eyes also fell on Qing Ning, flickering.
If there hadn't been that disturbance, a serious man would not have noticed the personal maids of the women. But those screams made him look over, and he saw the girl in the crowd, so he almost screamed. Those eyebrows
, that figure, his calmness after the encounter, his contempt for other panicked people, and the fiery red color on his body all reminded him of General Huo, Honglian, who was famous throughout the northwest!
