The Princess's Deadly Daily Life

The day to meet the future prince consort arrived as scheduled.

It was an elegant pavilion in a tavern called Zuiyanlou, which was quite grand. From the moment he appeared to the moment he sat down, the young man followed and greeted us all the way, and was even more enthusiastic than the smiling shopkeeper.

Li Xiying took a quick look and then looked away, bowing to the person out of courtesy.

This man, who was neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, and looked quite decent in every aspect, was exactly the candidate for the empress's consort - the son of the governor of Shangzhou.

He has a mole at the corner of his mouth, and when he smiles, it looks like a satisfied lump of meat is hanging on the side of his face.

Li Xixiu was indifferent but never tired of wearing a veil all the time, with a calm expression.

From time to time, she could feel the gaze from her husband. When she looked up, he would smile with his lips curved to show his approval.

This time, Li Xuan came with Li Xiying. When he saw this scene, he couldn't help but frown and cough lightly as a reminder.

He stood up calmly and crossed his arms, saying, "Princess, Your Highness Prince Xian, I am indeed rude. I couldn't take my eyes off you when we first met. I have prepared a gift for you two, please forgive me."

Li Xuan let out a breath of foul air, seeming to be a little dissatisfied with him, but he still maintained a gentle tone, "You don't have to be so polite, just come when you are here."

Yu Lang hurriedly laughed and said, "How can that be possible? It's just a small thought." He remembered that someone once said that if the gift is in place, people will be pleasing to the eye. Perhaps they were unhappy because they didn't see what was inside.

As he said this, he ordered the maid to bring the gifts to their side.

Li Xixiao frowned secretly, not knowing what this meant.

Giving gifts before the fate is even decided?

The white porcelain gilded rouge box in front of her was gleaming with flowing colors. The maid opened it slightly with her hands to show her that the rouge inside was extremely finely made, with pure color and no impurities.

The calligraphy and paintings presented to Fourth Uncle all looked very valuable. This gift was indeed a waste of money, but the person seemed a bit rude and vulgar.

Yu Lang grinned, and when he saw Li Xiying lowering her eyes to look at the powder box in front of her, he began to introduce it to her enthusiastically, all he said was how he had overcome numerous difficulties to buy such a box of exquisite items.

Unfortunately, she had no intention of listening. She just felt that saying these things at this time was too purposeful and the attitude was too attentive, which made her impatient.

As a princess with the great King Xian by her side, she has seen countless treasures, so why would she care about these things?

However, it can also be seen that this person is just an ordinary layman, which makes people even less willing to understand his inner qualities.

The man then asked the maid to move the rouge box aside, saying that he would send it to the mansion later.

She did not comment on this. She would not say anything if she could avoid talking, would not move if she could avoid moving, and would leave early if she could.

Soon the dishes were served, and he suddenly became interested again and said, "It is said that the wine and food in this tavern are famous in Chang'an. This is not the first time I have come to this tavern in Chang'an to taste them, so I think the rumors are true!"

He began to introduce it sincerely, "Look at this 'Flame Cup Mouth', it is crispy at the beginning and soft on the inside. If the princess eats it, she may get a fever. Then try the 'Golden and Silver Flower Flat Cut'. When you roll it up, you can taste the sweetness of crab meat and crab roe. It is a delicacy..."

He introduced the dishes and wine one by one, and he recommended each dish tirelessly. He seemed to be too good at evaluating delicacies and looked very proud of himself.

You don't have to guess why the meeting was not held in the palace, but at Zuiyan Tower. Since he loves food so much, it must be the place he booked.

Li Xian said, "Yu Lang is quite knowledgeable about food."

Yu Lang smiled as if he had met someone who truly knew him. "Although I am not as good as my father, I have great ambitions to serve the country faithfully. I am also born dull, but I have a taste for delicious food, so I can tell the difference between different kinds of food. All I want in my life is to have a close friend. If the princess doesn't mind, I can collect all the delicious food in the world for her, no problem."

Li Xuan's brows never relaxed after hearing this. He wondered how this candidate could be selected as the queen's consort. He compared himself with his father and felt no shame, which was natural. He had no talent but was picky about food and even classified food into several grades.

Hearing him speak, Li Xuan smiled and said frankly: "Everyone wants to be fascinated by wealth and luxury. It is harmless in prosperous times, but now, this hobby is a bit empty. Times change, and it is difficult to prepare for the cold and accumulate firewood. As the saying goes, a good father will have a good son, and Yu Lang is no exception."

Yu Lang thought Li Xuan was belittling him, but at the same time he seemed to be praising him. He was a little confused and thought it was a compliment, so he responded, "Your Highness is right, Your Highness is right."

Li Xuan felt disappointed when he heard that there was no follow-up, so he stopped talking.

What he meant was to remind him not to indulge in pleasure while living under his father's protection.

The world is already full of starving people, and it is not easy to have a full meal.

If he understood, he would work hard to learn a skill to make a living instead of relying on his ancestors' wealth to make the best plans; if he didn't understand, I'm afraid this son-in-law is not a good match and I need to think more carefully.

After what he said, Li Xixiao actually became interested in the food on the table, so she took off her veil and took two bites with her chopsticks.

When she raised her eyes, she found that Yu Lang was no longer speaking, but was staring at her blankly.

Li Xun knew that his heartfelt advice had been in vain.

Li Xixiao lost interest in eating as she was being stared at so blatantly, so she found an excuse to leave.

Since you are leaving, you should naturally go back home.

Yu Lang stood up to see her off, but was held back by his fourth uncle until Li Xiying indifferently left their sight.

It was only their first meeting but Yu Lang's eyes revealed rudeness. Although he was talking to his fourth uncle, his eyes seemed to be glued to her intentionally or unintentionally.

Even his fourth uncle could see the clues in his remarks. He was a person who lived under the protection of his father and only knew how to enjoy himself.

If he couldn't even understand his fourth uncle's words, how could he be expected to become a consort and provide a place for his own small mansion? Forget about the world, he was like a new branch on a big tree, completely without the ability to withstand the wind and rain independently.

Although she doesn't need anyone to protect her, this is the purpose of her grandfather choosing a husband for her.

After this incident, her fourth uncle would report the matter to her grandfather, and she wouldn't have to worry about anything, so she wouldn't stay there any longer and give others any hope.

However, this restaurant has a rich aroma of food and is always crowded with customers. It seems that Mr. Yu is a person who knows how to eat...

"Stop hitting me, stop hitting me, I'll wash! I'll wash!"

Just as Li Xiying was about to leave the porch, he heard a woman begging for mercy from a corner of the tavern. The strong crying tone in her voice made Li Xiying feel inexplicably familiar.

Afraid that she had heard it wrong, she had to follow the sound. There was only a kitchen in that direction. Not only did it emit the aroma of food, but there were also some miscellaneous noises. Among them, the sound of a woman crying seemed to be suppressed and was no longer heard.

What followed vaguely was the man's angry curses, his tone was extremely bad.

"You bitch, you have the nerve to cry? You can't even wash the dishes, but you know how to wait on the bed? I really don't know what I want a piece of trash like you to do?"

"If you weren't a woman and had some use, you would have been crippled if you were a man. When I get tired of you, I'll have to sell this useless thing to a brothel. It's really a money-losing thing."

"One bowl costs one hundred bucks. If you break one of my bowls again, I will knock your head off in half and use it as a ladle!"

The woman sniffed and sniffed, then said in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "I have been serving my master's writing since I was young. How could I have ever washed dishes? Ouch..."

She was obviously kicked hard and couldn't help but cry out in pain, followed by the laughter of a group of men.

"Oh, do you think I didn't hear you? You're still waiting for the pen and ink? You're kidding me. Are you trying to be lazy so you made up a lie? It's such a joke!"

Li Xi couldn't stand it any longer and was about to go to the kitchen when a maid next to her whispered, "Princess, this girl might be a maid they bought. Beating and scolding her is commonplace. Don't let your dirty words dirty your ears. Let's go, shall we?"
