"Hmph, you old guy is quite insidious!" Song Liuying said lightly.≤,
Song Sansi chuckled and said, "That's what this old slave is like!"
Song Liuying said: "Have you seen that Chu Li?"
"Yes, we drank wine at the same table." Song Sansi shook his head and said, "He is a powerful person and his reputation is well-deserved!"
"Oh?" Song Liuying said calmly: "No matter how powerful he is, can he be compared to a cunning old man like you?"
"Princess, don't underestimate him." Song Sansi sighed, shook his head and said: "According to the old slave's observation, Chu Li is arrogant, but he will not despise others. He is also very observant and reacts very quickly. The old slave is afraid that...
Not as good as him!"
"Is he really that powerful?" Song Liuying raised his slender eyebrows slightly: "So, you can't suppress him?"
"Hehe..." Song Sansi laughed, shook his head and said: "You will not be able to survive for your own misfortune. Originally, he was a first-class man. Once he entered the palace, he would directly take the old slave's position. There was nothing he could do about it. However, Princess Xiao was assassinated.
But it gave us a chance!”
"what chance?"
"Chu Li is said to have asked the prince to live in the courtyard next to Princess Xiao and personally guard Princess Xiao to prevent the assassin from coming again!" Song Sansi laughed, shook his head and said: "I guess he has longing for Princess Xiao, too.
It's understandable, after all, he's still young."
"I think it's rare. It's rare to have such sincerity." Song Liuying said lightly: "It's rare to see someone so loyal."
Song Sansi hurriedly said: "The old slave is also loyal to the princess!"
"You are a cunning old man. The situation is not right and you can run faster than me!" Song Liuying glanced at him and hummed: "Tell me, what chance!"
"Since Chu Li wants to guard Princess Xiao, naturally he can't be distracted." Song Sansi smiled and said: "He is not suitable for the position of the internal manager, is he?"
"Well..." Song Liuying nodded softly: "He cannot leave Princess Xiao's yard, his hands and feet are tied up, and he is not suitable to be the internal manager."
"That's it!" Song Sansi said hurriedly: "So the princess can give advice to the prince. We should take the position of internal manager!"
"You old guy is greedy for power, right?" Song Liuying said.
Song Sansi chuckled and said: "I really don't want to let this old slave go. Princess, I hold the position of housekeeper in my hands. Everyone in the house treats us with respect. Be careful and serve us. Once handed over, these guys will immediately change."
With all their faces, they all ran to Princess Xiao to show their courtesy!"
"Well, it's human nature." Song Liuying nodded softly: "Don't look at people's feelings, but look at power. But if you want to fight for this position, you don't want to make up for the shortfall, right?"
"Haha..." Song Sansi smiled sheepishly: "Nothing can be hidden from the princess!"
"One hundred thousand taels of silver is indeed not a small amount of money." Song Liuying said lightly: "I think you'd better make up for it. Today is different from the past. If the prince really wants to hand over the position of internal manager to Chu Li, he
I may not use you to establish authority!"
"Alas..." Song Sansi sighed and shook her head helplessly: "The princess also knows that my boy has lost all the money he spent. How can the family now come up with one hundred thousand taels, not even ten thousand taels?"
ah!"
He gritted his teeth and hummed: "So no matter what, Chu Li cannot be allowed to sit in the position of internal manager!"
Song Liuying said lightly: "It seems it's not for me, but for you!"
"What the princess said is an injustice to this old slave!" Song Sansi said hurriedly: "The princess doesn't think about herself, but also thinks about the young lady. The old slave has watched the young lady grow up, and thinks that the young lady is closer to me than my prodigal son. It's really true.
I don’t want the young lady to suffer!… If I don’t take up the position of the concubine, and if I don’t have the position of the internal steward, how can I not give the young lady a look in my eyes with those short-sighted people in the house? I won’t neglect the young lady?!”
Song Liuying frowned and thought for a while, then nodded slightly.
Song Sansi's words touched her mind. Instead of thinking about herself, she had to think about Qing'er.
"Well, I'll go and mention it to the prince. But the prince is most annoyed by women interfering in these matters." Song Liuying shook his head and said: "As I said, make up for the shortfall quickly to avoid being caught by Chu Li!"
"I will think of a way," Song Sansi nodded hurriedly.
Song Liuying waved his hand: "Go, I'm going to visit there today and meet Chu Li for a while."
"Do you want me to come with you, old slave?"
"What are you going to do!" Song Liuying waved his hand: "Go about your business and don't bother me!"
"Yes. Old slave, please retire." Song Sansi clasped his fists, bowed, and retreated.
He stopped at the entrance of Yaoguang Yuan, his face gloomy.
Depriving someone of their money is like killing your parents. The boy named Chu has blocked your way of making money, so you have to find a way to get rid of him completely!
Chu Li was sitting at the stone table in Xiao Shi's courtyard, holding a book in his hand and a plum tree next to him.
The palace has a rich collection of books. He is now a first-class bodyguard. Although he does not have a position yet, the guards in the palace have begun to fawn over him. After saying a word, the guard in charge of the book collection immediately sent a pile of books.
Xiao Shi was lying on the couch recovering from her injuries, while Yang Xu and Xueling were waiting on her side, chatting with her.
Chu Li sat alone in front of the stone table, reading it with relish.
This book records spiritual beasts, which can be regarded as an anecdote. He found the part about the spiritual crane, but felt that it was not all nonsense.
Spiritual cranes are indeed as written in the book. They lay two eggs in a nest. The male and female cranes take turns guarding the nest and never leave. Once other spiritual beasts approach, they will not be polite.
As for the others, the spirit cranes are afraid of being indifferent and have no hostility towards all things. They like to eat grass roots, and they mostly eat the roots of exotic flowers and plants. Their speed is too fast for the naked eye, and human eyes cannot catch up with them.
At this moment, a maid outside announced: "Princess Song has arrived."
Chu Li stood up and put down the book, cupped his fists and saluted Song Liuying, who was coming over, and the graceful girl next to Song Liuying: "Chu Li has met the princess."
"Mr. Chu, you're welcome." Song Liuying was dressed up, luxurious and graceful, and looked at Chu Li carefully.
The girl beside her is graceful and exquisite, with a lotus face and bright eyes. There is a hint of indifference and indifference between her gaze.
Chu Li tasted the product carefully. This girl should be Leng Qing, the daughter of Princess Song. She seemed to be impatient with everything. She was not indifferent like Xiao Qi, but she was disgusted with everything.
"I wonder how injured Princess Xiao is?" Song Liuying said lightly.
Chu Li looked heavy, shook his head and said: "The assassin is really arrogant and vicious. He stabbed the young lady in the heart with his sword. If it were not for praying for Yuan Dan to save her life, the young lady would be gone! ... The imperial doctor has already come and said that there is nothing he can do, and he can only slowly raise her to health.
, it is estimated that it will take a year and a half to recover.”
"So heavy?!" Song Liuying was surprised.
She was really surprised. She didn't expect that Xiao Shi's injury was so troublesome and would take a year and a half. She thought she would recover in a few days after taking the Qi Yuan Pill.
Not only was she unhappy, but she felt chilly.
Princess Xiao had the Qi Yuan Pill, but she didn't. If the assassin had stabbed her with this sword, she would have been dead by now, leaving Qing'er alone in this world!
Chu Li shook his head and sighed: "Miss, it's a lucky thing that she can save her life!"
"Mr. Chu, please invite Princess Song into the room to talk." Yang Xu walked out and said softly.
Chu Li stretched out his hand to greet Song Liuying solemnly.
Song Liuying lowered his chin and walked into the house with his daughter. (To be continued.)
