Chu Li did not follow, picked up the book again, sat down at the stone table, and read quietly under the plum tree.
The smell of medicine lingered in the room, and Xiao Shi was leaning on a high pillow, half sitting and half lying down, lazily looking at Song Liuying and his daughter who entered the room.
Song Liuying bowed and said with a sweet smile: "I have met Sister Xiao."
Leng Qing bowed and remained silent, only looking at her curiously, wanting to know how beautiful the most beautiful girl in the season was.
Xiao Shi showed a gentle smile: "Sister Song, come and sit."
She had never met Song Liuying, but she spoke as close and casually as an old friend. She sighed: "I was supposed to go over and see Sister Song, but I have to bother Sister Song to come and see me in person."
"I don't dare." Song Liuying said with a smile: "Sister Xiao is the royal concubine and has a noble status. She is above us. How can she be so arrogant? If the prince knows about it, he will inevitably scold her!"
Xiao Shi smiled and said: "I have long heard that the prince is strict with his family, but there is no need to be strict with us sisters, right?"
Song Liuying said with a smile: "Sister Xiao, you don't know the prince yet. He only pays attention to the important affairs of the court and never cares about the trivial matters at home. But if you disturb him because of these trivial matters, you will get angry!"
"That's what a man should do." Xiao Shi smiled sweetly and said, "From now on, Sister Song will still have to worry about everything in this house. My body is not strong, and I am powerless even if I want to do anything. There is nothing I can do."
"Commander Zheng, they are too useless." Song Liuying frowned and said bitterly: "So many experts were rushed in openly and seriously injured Sister Xiao. They really derelict in their duties!"
"That man's martial arts skills are too strong," Xiao Shi shook his head slightly and sighed: "The Duke's Palace has offended too many people in the martial arts world, so this end is expected, but for the sake of the stability of the court, the Duke's Palace has no choice.
We can only continue to suppress these martial arts people and provoke assassinations again and again."
"Alas..." Song Liuying sighed: "It's really hard for Sister Xiao. As soon as she entered the house, she had to lie on the bed and was not free."
Xiao Shi smiled: "Actually, it's nothing. I've been living like this since I was a child, and I'm used to it. It got better some time ago, but now it's back again. It seems that my destiny in this life is destined to linger on the sickbed."
"You must not say that." Song Liuying advised: "Sister Xiao's good days are still ahead, and the prince will severely punish the murderer."
"I'd rather the prince stop provoking that person," Xiao Shi shook her head and said, "Otherwise, it's not me who's in danger, it's the prince, and even the two sisters. Such masters are rare in this world. If they can, they won't provoke him."
"Such a guy is too dangerous." Song Liuying frowned and said, "The palace is no longer safe, which is really worrying!"
When she thought of those guys assassinating her, she couldn't help but get chills in her heart.
Xiao Shi smiled and said, "But with Chu Li here, I'm not afraid of that guy coming again."
Song Liuying's slender eyebrows raised: "Is Mr. Chu so capable that he can surpass Commander Zheng?"
Xiao Shi said with a smile: "His Qinggong is amazing. If you can't beat him, you can always outrun him!"
"A unique skill in Qinggong..." Song Liuying understood what she meant. It was not that he could beat that guy, but that he could escape from that guy's hands. This was indeed a method.
"Mr. Chu is good at Qinggong, which is my sister's blessing." Song Liuying said with a smile: "It's a pity that Chu left the banquet yesterday, otherwise, sister Xiao would not have been so seriously injured!"
"There is nothing I can do about it." Xiao Shi sighed: "He didn't want to go to the banquet, and he didn't worry about the safety of the palace, so he was scolded by me. Although he is a first-class man, he can't ignore his colleagues because of this."
"I wonder what position the prince will arrange for General Manager Chu." Song Liuying said: "First-grade people are only under the prince in the palace, and ordinary positions cannot be accommodated."
"That depends on what the prince wants." Xiao Shi said calmly: "As the inner chamber, we are not suitable to say more."
"That's right." Song Liuying smiled.
She was secretly awe-inspiring. As expected, she came from the Duke's palace and was not an ordinary person.
As I was talking, I heard something moving outside.
Chu Li put down the book and stood up, clasping his fists.
A young woman with a petite figure and a sweet and lovely appearance curled up, followed by a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old. She was pure and beautiful, with an expressionless face.
The sweet woman was wearing a yellow shirt and her face was radiant. When she entered the yard and saw Chu Li, she frowned: "Who are you?"
Chu Li cupped his fists and said, "Chu Li has met Princess Xue."
"Are you Chu Li?" Xue Ningyu glanced at him and nodded: "I've heard about it, but you are a grown man, how can you behave here?"
Chu Li said: "The palace is not stable right now. If the young lady can't stand any more troubles, I can only stay here."
"You are loyal!" Xue Ningyu snorted: "But you are a man after all, and you have to avoid suspicion when you should, so as not to make the prince unhappy!"
"Yes, thank you Princess Xue for your advice!" Chu Li said, cupping his fists.
Xue Ningyu hummed: "If it weren't for your loyalty, I wouldn't talk so much. Let's go, Qiu'er!"
She pulled Leng Qiu, who was looking at Chu Li curiously, and crept into the house.
As soon as she entered the house, she waved to Yang Xu and Xueling who were saluting, and when she came closer, she smiled: "Hey, Sister Song is here too. I've met Sister Xiao!"
She saluted Xiao Shi and Yan, and then gave a vague salute to Song Liuying. Her arrogance was clearly revealed.
Leng Qiu, who was beside her, also saluted, and he saluted Xiao Shi, Song Liuying, and Leng Qing meticulously.
Xiao Shi smiled tenderly: "Sister Xue, please come in person."
"Sister Xiao, don't be polite. We are a family from now on. Does it really hurt your heart?"
, really not a man!”
Xiao Shi smiled and said, "I almost died."
"Lucky people have their own destiny." Xue Ningyu said with a smile: "Sister Xiao, how many hardships have you gone through to get to this point? How can you just die? If you survive a disaster, you will have blessings in the future. Your blessings are coming soon.
!”
Xiao Shi smiled and said: "My body is completely ruined, what kind of blessing can I have?"
"Your Majesty will be doubly sympathetic." Xue Ningyu pursed her lips and said with a smile: "How can it not be a blessing to be loved and loved all in one body?"
Xiao Shi shook his head and smiled: "You all have children, but I will be alone for the rest of my life. When I get older, I will only have a Buddhist scripture and a blue lantern to live out my remaining life!"
She said it pitifully, and both women felt a little sad, knowing that this was an inevitable truth.
A man's love cannot last long. Once he gets old and loses his beauty and has no children by his side, he will be like a rootless duckweed. He will be swept into a corner and ignored, making him miserable and pitiful.
Xue Ningyu said: "Sister Xiao, you still have Chu Li! ... He is a first-class one, which is the only one in the palace. The prince also has a headache now, how to arrange him? Sister Song, tell me, right?"
Song Liuying said calmly: "Can we women talk too much about this kind of thing?"
Xue Ningyu smiled and said: "In my opinion, that old guy Song Sansi should give up his position. He should be satisfied with how much benefit he has gained from the internal affairs manager!"
Song Liuying said: "Everything depends on the prince."
"How dare that old guy Song Sansi make money so unscrupulously without Sister Song's support?" Xue Ningyu snorted: "I heard that the guards and maids in the mansion have to pay him a layer of silver each month.
, does Sister Song know about this?" (To be continued.)
