Leng Changxi stopped talking and followed behind Uncle Li silently. She carefully observed the middle-aged man named Uncle Li and found that he was not tall. The years had left traces on his body, and his back was hunched.
His posture was serious, just like him.
She secretly made up her mind to start with Uncle Li. Since he has been in the palace for so many years, even if he is not reused, he can still grasp some of the news in the palace.
People like Uncle Li know the most, but they are also the most difficult to deal with. To put it bluntly, they have a clam-shell mouth - they bite tightly.
Leng Changxi lowered her eyelids, thinking secretly in her heart. If she wanted Uncle Li to speak, she had to seize his weakness. Whether it was through coercion or inducement, only by grasping a person's weakness in his hands could he play with it.
between palms.
The two of them walked silently in the mansion. Leng Changxi's stunning appearance attracted many people's attention. She quietly raised the corners of her lips, revealing a sarcastic smile. Someone once said that beauty is also a fault.
People are often deceived by their appearance and make mistakes they cannot repent of. But she, with such stunning beauty and the admiration of others, can only experience the loneliness behind this world-famous appearance. The only thing she can be thankful for is that she still has a beautiful face.
There is Zhao Yuan, the man who promises to protect her for the rest of her life.
"Miss Leng, this room is specially arranged for you." Li Bo stood in front of a room door and spoke, interrupting Leng Changxi's thoughts.
Hearing this, Leng Changxi squinted her eyes, and a hint of interest flashed in her eyes: "Uncle Li, how do you know that my surname is Leng?"
"Miss Leng is a distinguished guest. Your Majesty has already given instructions." Uncle Li lowered his head and said honestly.
"Did King Xi order it? I only saw Mr. Shi today, so why did he order it?" Leng Changxi blinked her ignorant eyes and looked at Uncle Li.
"Your Majesty gave the order a few days ago." Uncle Li still lowered his head and spoke slowly in a calm voice.
"Oh, it turns out that your prince is so clever that he already knew that I was coming!" Leng Changxi's words were somewhat sarcastic. From what Li Bo meant, even though she didn't know what King Xi was selling in his gourd.
Yao could also guess that he had already pulled himself into his chessboard.
"Qingtao, come here." Uncle Li did not answer Leng Changxi's words, but instead called a maid.
The maid stood respectfully in front of Leng Changxi without daring to raise her head.
"Miss Leng, this is Qingtao, she will take care of your daily life from now on." Uncle Li said politely but not humbly.
Leng Changxi glanced at the girl in front of her. She looked about fourteen or fifteen years old. She had a round face and was quite pleasant. She was not outstanding in appearance. She could only be considered cute at best. Her figure was also round.
Yes, in this dynasty where beauties are popular, she does have the ability to occupy a place on the list of ugly women.
To deserve such a maidservant for her, it seems that King Xi really has good intentions!
There was a sneer on Leng Changxi's lips, and Feng Qingyun said calmly: "Tell your prince that I am very satisfied with his arrangement. Thank him for being so attentive. He has troubled him."
"I will definitely bring you here. Miss Leng, if there is no need, I will leave first. If you need anything in the future, you can ask Qingtao to come to me at any time." Li Bo bowed politely and slowly stepped back.
go.
What he said was a polite term. If others heard it, they would just nod and smile. But Leng Changxi didn't. She took the words to heart. She suddenly called out to Li Li.
Uncle: "Uncle Li."
"Miss, do you have any other instructions?" Uncle Li stopped and turned around.
"Are you serious?" Leng Changxi's smile gradually widened.
But Uncle Li was a little confused by her sudden words. He was stunned for a moment and looked up at Leng Changxi in confusion.
"I just want to come to you anytime if I need you." Leng Changxi slowly walked up to him and said softly. I guess Leng Changxi was the only one of the ancients who could ask this question.
When Uncle Li heard this, he was stunned. There was a trace of surprise in his eyes, but for just a moment, he took out the mind bracelet and asked politely: "Is there anything else you need, Miss Leng?"
"Not now, but that doesn't mean it won't happen in the future. Just to make sure, if I really need Qingtao to find you, will you come?" Leng Changxi had already made prying open his clam mouth a headline in her plan.
How can I let it go so easily.
"If necessary, just give me Miss Leng's orders." Uncle Li is a villain after all, and although Leng Changxi is not the host, he is still a guest. He will comply with any request within a reasonable range.
"Just remember what you said. You can go down first." Leng Changxi waved her hand casually and slowly turned around and walked back into the house.
Qingtao followed Leng Changxi into the house.
Leng Changxi took a brief look at the room and saw that although the furnishings were not luxurious, they were very exquisite. The room was divided into three rooms, and the middle room was a flower hall with a round table of mahogany inlaid with marble and four round stools.
.On the mahogany flower stand by the window is placed a pot of precious spider plants, and on the flower stand near the back room is a gold-plated porcelain vase with a gold rim.
On the right is the servant's bedroom. To put it bluntly, it is Qingtao's bedroom, so the furnishings are very simple. A wooden bed is covered with a thin mattress and a thin quilt is placed on it. There is a wooden table in the corner and a few chairs scattered randomly.
Put it in the house.
The left room is the master bedroom. There is a pear wood carved wooden couch. The brand-new bedding on the couch shows the care of the decorator. At the foot of the window is a pear wood desk with a hollow carved chair. The jewelry on the dressing table is also
Everything is available, brand new.
Leng Changxi walked slowly to the dressing table. She picked up the golden fork placed on the dressing table as if nothing had happened, played with it carefully, then rubbed it gently with her thumb and index finger. Suddenly, she squinted and understood in her heart——
These things already have a thin layer of dust and have been here for at least three to five days.
"Your name is Qing Tao?" Leng Changxi asked calmly.
"Yes, miss, my name is Qingtao." Qingtao's voice was small, waxy, and unusually pleasant. Leng Changxi couldn't help but wonder whether the fat man's voice was good.
"Who lived in this house before?" Leng Changxi asked casually while looking around the house.
"No one has lived in this house." Qingtao answered truthfully.
"No one lives there?" Leng Changxi squinted her eyes and sneered: "Whose do these things belong to?"
Leng Changxi pointed to the jewelry on the dressing table. Even if the guests were attentive, no owner would take out these jewelry for the guests to wear. That would be too generous.
"That's for the lady."
"Qingtao, you're not bullying me for being ignorant, are you?" Leng Changxi's words were soft and cold, which made Qingtao shiver. She knelt down in a hurry and said, "No, Miss, what's wrong with Qingtao?"
You dare to bully the lady, these jewelry are indeed prepared for the lady."
Leng Changxi stared coldly at Qingtao who was kneeling on the ground, without any intention of asking her to get up. Alone in this strange place, the only one Leng Changxi could trust was herself.
