The Princess's Deadly Daily Life

Chapter 199: Dislike of the monk's robe

"Sister is right. We can't forget the hatred, but we can't ignore the beauty either."

Pingyuan smiled. When he saw the rosary on her wrist, he knew where it came from. He then thought of the young man in the nunnery and said, "You and that young man are the only ones who came to this sacred mountain?"

Li Xixuan didn't understand why she asked that, so she shook her head and explained the reason: "I came with Madam Cui, and that young man is the nephew of that madam."

"So that's how it is. I guess the Madam Cui was the former prime minister's wife? I heard about you from my fourth uncle when he entered the palace." Pingyuan said, looking at her carefully, "I guess you must have realized that the young man has a crush on you."

Li Xi was slightly surprised. "Sister, I have never thought about the relationship between men and women. I don't know how you figured it out."

Pingyuan stopped talking and said calmly, "I told you what I saw, but I didn't say you were interested, so you can ignore it. You should have put your own feelings first, and you can avoid the other party's pressure."

She stopped there, and Li Xi was confused. Why did she press on? Did she think the other party had some ulterior motive and was afraid that she would be forced?

Then he suddenly seemed to understand what his sister meant, "Sister, is it a misunderstanding? He has been helping me all along. And my life events have been decided by my heart from beginning to end. If my heart can accompany me for my whole life, then even if you save my life a hundred times, I will not be moved."

Pingyuan smiled with tears in his eyes, "You are still the same as before, how nice."

Suddenly she looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late, Xi Ying, remember, I'm no longer a princess, I'm just a little nun. If you come to look for me next time, I won't pay any attention to you, do you understand?"

Li Xi was stunned for a moment, her heart ached for a moment, and then she nodded.

Pingyuan pursed her lips and stood up, "I have to go copy the scriptures now, so I won't keep you any longer."

Although the rain has stopped, there is still a thin mist outside the temple.

Long Qi was waiting for her, but she didn't come out for a long time. Instead, she waited for the servant who came to borrow clothes and Li Xiqi's maid Amber.

When the servant came to the nunnery, he took a quick look at the dilapidated nunnery, panted in surprise, and brought a coat to Long Qi, "Mr. Long, it's so tiring to look for you. Fortunately, someone saw you coming here. The clothes... the clothes are here. Hurry up and change into them, or you will catch a cold!"

Long Qi looked at the clothes in the servant's hand but did not take it. It was a dark brown robe that was very loose and was obviously borrowed from an old monk in the temple.

He frowned and said, "No need, my clothes are dry now, just return them to me."

The servant was speechless. He had finally borrowed it, but now he didn't want it anymore? He couldn't help but blurt out: "I don't believe it... I don't believe that you did it to me, could it be..."

He looked around, but didn't see Madam Li. He wondered, "Are you afraid that Madam Li will see you and ruin your handsome appearance?"

Long Qi glanced at the boy, but didn't say anything. Hu Bo looked around and didn't see Li Xiying, so he asked, "By the way, my dear, do you know where my princess is?"

The servant answered quickly, "Go in and look for him. He must have gone to the courtyard."

Amber nodded and was about to turn around to look for it, but she saw Li Xiying walking towards the backyard entrance, looking like she was worried about something.

"Princess!" Amber called softly.

When Li Xixiao saw Amber, he also quickened his pace. After taking two steps, he saw the servant handing clothes to Long Qi.

Long Qi saw her coming, and whispered to the servant, "Are you staying here to get scolded? If you know what's going on, why are you still asking? Why don't you leave quickly and return the monk's robe?"

After hearing this, the servant immediately understood.

"Okay, sir, I'll return it right away!" After saying that, the servant took the clothes and left the nunnery.

"Wait..." As soon as he stepped out of the door, Li Xiying came over and called him, "My dear, your clothes are wet, why don't you change them?"

The servant looked at Long Qi, then at Li Xiying, and laughed dryly, "Just now I saw that this piece of clothing didn't fit my figure, so I thought I might as well return it. And my man said that he had already steamed it dry."

Li Xixiao cast a questioning look at Long Qi. Although the dark robe was not as eye-catching as the light one, it did not look completely dry.

"Then I'll go first." After saying that, the servant immediately ran away with the clothes.

At this time, Amber could no longer hold back her laughter and whispered to her, "Princess, I was there just now. It was clearly because Long Langjun thought the monk's robe was ugly that he refused to change it."

Li Xi understood, and seeing that the weather outside was becoming brighter, she whispered an instruction to Amber.

Amber nodded hesitantly and went to borrow something from the old nun.

Long Qi didn't know what they said, but judging from Li Xiying's expression, she must have been exposed by her maid, so she was trying to hold back her laughter.

The two of them left the nunnery first.

The ground outside was still muddy. Li Xixiao walked slowly on the mud, found a relatively clean and open place, and sat on a flat stone with a piece of silk as a cushion.

She said to him, "Long Lang, please keep this secret."

Long Qi naturally heard her concerns. She was afraid that if the news about Princess Pingyuan got out, it would have a bad impact on Pingyuan.

He also sat on a stone pier nearby and said gently, "You can trust me. I won't tell anyone what happened today."

"Of course I believe you, but I'll feel more at ease if I tell you." She smiled.

At this time, Amber came hurriedly holding a bundle of firewood borrowed from the old nun and a fire starter.

"Princess, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." After saying that, Amber piled the dry firewood on the ground, took out a bunch of fire starters from her sleeve and placed them among the dry firewood, then turned on the tinder.

After the fire starter was ignited, the dry wood soon caught fire as well.

"Although it's the end of spring, it's still cold. Since you're covered in rain, you shouldn't get infected with cold, right?" Li Xiying pointed at him and said, "So, take off your coat and warm it up."

After hearing this, Long Qi had no choice but to take off his outer robe and obediently put it on a stone beside him to dry.

The fire was burning brightly, and its reflection on Li Xi's face made it as red as blood. Amber stood aside and looked at her master's face, which was as red as if she was drunk, and found it very pleasing to the eye.

Of course, the one who couldn't take his eyes off was Long Langjun, who stared at the princess with his slightly narrowed yet deep peach blossom eyes from time to time. It was obvious that no one could resist such a kind and beautiful princess.

Long Lang asked: "Do you have any plans for the future?"

The princess asked, "Isn't having no arrangements the best arrangement?"

After hearing this, he curved his lips and said, "It seems that you have thought it through thoroughly?"

She smiled and said, "It's just a helpless act. Between being able to do it and just waiting, who would choose the latter?"

Amber felt confused as she listened to the coded conversation. She had no idea what "arrangement" they were talking about.

A fire was crackling on the ground, and thin smoke was drifting away slowly.

Suddenly she saw Sanlangjun from Cui Mansion standing on the cliff in the distance, approaching the edge step by step. With every step he took, his amber eyes widened a little.

"Princess, look at this!" She pointed at Sanlang and stuttered.

They both looked at the same time and saw Sanlang walking towards the cliff with a jar of wine in his hand, his mouth opening and closing as if he was saying something.

"Where did he get the wine?" Li Xiying asked in surprise.

Amber also responded to her worriedly: "Is he drunk?"

"I'll go take a look. You can call him back for now to attract his attention." After saying that, Long Qi took Shi Shang's robe and left.

Li Xiqie made a trumpet shape with his hand and shouted to Sanlang: "Cui! San! Lang!"
