The Princess's Deadly Daily Life

Yi felt that she had brought shame upon herself and was even a little angry. Her kind reminder had attracted a lot of fallacies. Perhaps it was because of the weight of her body that the blood supply was insufficient. She just felt a sense of suffocation in her head.

The back hall is very close to the main courtyard and is usually used to receive close relatives and friends. It is rare to receive women from other families here. That is why Yi thought that she was a relative from the lady's family whom she had never met. However, when she heard that she was not a relative, Yi had no choice but to say something nice and just ignored the offer.

She was just an ordinary woman. Even if she had done her best to save the prime minister, she would have been rewarded with a few coins. But the lady personally treated her with sincerity, so she should have been grateful. She even thought that the lady was easy to talk to, so she was so harsh and argued with her own son and daughter-in-law about filial piety? It was really ridiculous. Has the prime minister's mansion become corrupt now? People from all over the world can speak recklessly regardless of the occasion. It's really... infuriating!

Madam chuckled, looking like she was convinced, and said cheerfully, "What you said does make sense. The world is unfair to women, but over the past thousand years, people's thoughts have settled down and there are few people like you who dare to think and act. At such a young age, you have quite a bit of worldly insights. It's really unexpected."

Yi rubbed her belly, feeling that not only did the words overturn her cognition, but even the lady's reaction was so puzzling. She felt mixed emotions in her heart. Her parents had arranged her marriage, and she had been right to stick to the rules. But now someone said that this was not the only way out. Was it her true nature to disobey her parents and run away from home?

She stopped thinking for a moment and only uttered a few words: "Mom, I'm going to go back and rest first."

Madam said softly, "Be careful on the road then, and ask the maid to pay more attention."

"Thank you, mother." Yi stood up and left.

The lady nodded, and ordered the old woman and the maid beside her to help her back to her room, giving her many instructions and warnings, fearing that the journey might hurt her unborn grandson.

After she left, Madam Xiang said to Li Xiying, "She is my eldest daughter-in-law. She may be getting heavier as she is about to give birth. I spoil her and that is why I said something inappropriate. Don't take it to heart."

"No, it was my words that were rude." Li Xiqi seldom said polite words. Seeing that the other party was so sincere today, he thought he should be more restrained.

This lady really had a good temper. She didn't defend her daughter-in-law when she had an argument just now, nor did she have the airs of an official. Instead, she acted like an ordinary citizen. Her pair of curved eyebrows exuded a hint of nobility, and she had a somewhat friendly aura.

The lady casually asked a few questions about the relics beside the carriage before the young master got on, as well as some of the beggar's features. Li Xi's answers were exactly the same as those relayed by the servants, concise and to the point, without any difference.

Seeing that it was getting dark, it was time to go to the main hall for dinner, so he said, "How about this, I will send someone to inform your father, so that they can rest assured that you are safe and not worry."

Li Xiying was about to refuse, but the lady smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will never let anyone reveal your location. To be honest, I am also a mother. If this happened to me, I would definitely be worried to death, don't you think? You can stay in this mansion for the time being, and wait until the case of the poisoned horse in the manor is solved. You can leave or I will send my confidant to send you back to your hometown in Luoyang, how about that?"

Li Xiying hesitated for a moment, nodded to accept the proposal, and then shook her head.

It would be good if someone could go to the manor to inform Grandma, but wouldn't that expose his identity? And with Fourth Uncle's ability, would he let the messenger go without investigating the matter?

"Thank you, ma'am. You don't have to worry about it. Just give me the pen, ink, paper and inkstone. I'll write the letter and you can mail it yourself."

It is necessary to write a letter. Grandma must be worried when she knows she is missing. But you don't have to specify the source of the letter. By the time Fourth Uncle comes looking for her, she should have returned to Luoyang long ago.

The lady didn't know what to say, so she just nodded.

Afterwards, Li Xixiao was arranged by the maid to rest in a corridor room.

The table, chairs, bed and quilt in the room were all in good condition. The air was filled with the faint scent of sandalwood, which became stronger and stronger. When my fingertips touched the table, I found that there was not a speck of dust on it.

I moved to the bed, and as my eyes followed the transparent and clean gauze curtains, and the brand new pillows and bedding were smooth and tidy as if they had just been replaced.

She tilted her head slightly, and her eyes passed through the hollow window coffin and through several Podocarpus trees. She could just see the shimmering lake reflecting the setting sun not far away.

Li Xiwei raised his eyebrows with satisfaction. Yes, it is more comfortable and cleaner than the guesthouse.

Soon, footsteps were heard not far from the door. The door was ajar, and Li Xiying could see the maid outside, walking at a steady pace, holding a tray with dinner in her hands.

It just so happened that I hadn’t eaten for a day and was really hungry.

"Hey, stop right there."

Just when the maid was one step away from the door, she heard someone calling her. She immediately lowered her head, turned slightly, and said respectfully, "What do you want, Fourth Young Master?"

"Who is this special meal for?" Si Langjun looked at the dishes on the tray. Curiosity made him frown and glance inside the door. He happened to meet Li Xiying's indifferent eyes and was slightly startled.

"In reply to Silangjun, it was Madam's order..."

Before he knew it, Li Xiying had already sat down at the table. For a moment, Silang felt that he was being rude and immediately looked away, not listening carefully to what the maid said.

A trace of doubt flashed across his fair face, and he immediately asked, "What did you say? Say it again."

"Replying to Silangjun, it is said that she jumped onto the carriage today to save the prime minister without regard for her own safety, but..."

"But what?" She was definitely not a lady from an ordinary family. At least she looked prettier than any of her cousins. Her unique temperament seemed to be a natural barrier, which was really hard to describe.

The maidservant told her everything: "Lord Qi was worried that something strange had happened to the Master this time, so he brought her back and will let her go after the truth is revealed."

"It was Madam who arranged for her to stay in the wing room temporarily..."

"So it's the girl that Qilang brought back." Silang's eyes paused. "Okay, okay, take it in. I'm going to the main hall to have dinner. After dinner, I'll go to Qilang to practice chess."

Suddenly, an extremely difficult chess game appeared in his mind. He waved his hand, raised his eyebrows, and walked away.

The maid stayed there for a while, watching Silangjun's unhappy back as he left, then she turned and went into the house.

The maid placed the tray on the table and said, "Madam asked you to eat as you like. She was afraid that you would feel uncomfortable eating with everyone else, so she brought it to the room."

Li Xiying thought to herself that she was quite thoughtful. She was an outsider, neither a guest nor an "important person", so there was no reason for her to eat at the same table with the host and his family. If she ate with a group of maids and servants, her status would inevitably be awkward.

The maid brought the food down, took the tray and said, "Enjoy your meal, madam," then left.

They treated me with great respect and honor, and I didn't have to pay for my food and drinks. The accommodation was also not bad. I don't know if this is good or bad.

Looking at the food in front of me (two meat dishes and one vegetable dish), which was still steaming, my stomach started to growl.

Apart from anything else, the food was at least not perfunctory and was not much different from what she usually ate at the farm.

There were countless jade-white amaranths inlaid in the emerald green; boiled shrimps with a hint of red in the white, exuding an enticing aroma; and steamed lamb with evenly thin and thick slices stacked in the bowl, overflowing with gravy.

There was also a small plate of sauce, vinegar and garlic dipping sauce and a bowl of plump white rice on the side.

After all, the manor is run inside and out by grandma and several maids, and each maid is very skillful. The meals they cook are complicated, exquisite and delicious. It is really good to be comparable to them.

She picked up a pair of chopsticks, picked up a piece of steamed lamb, dipped it in the sauce in the small dish, and put it into her mouth. The slightly salty and sweet meat, mixed with the aroma of the sauce, filled her lips and teeth.

The steamed lamb was very well prepared, not greasy or smelly, and the meat became even more delicious when mixed with the dipping sauce; the winter amaranth melted in the mouth, smooth and crispy, with a very good taste; the blanched shrimps had their shells removed, and the meat was firm and delicate, leaving a lingering fragrance in the mouth when chewed.

Tasting room.

A small creature rustled up to the window from outside and looked at her with its head tilted.

Li Xi was startled and noticed it. It was furry and dark, with a pair of green eyes. I wonder if the hostile look was aimed at the food on her table or just wanted to attract her attention?
