The Princess's Deadly Daily Life

Chapter 74 It's better to stay

The next day, after breakfast time, it was already noon when the steward sent someone to inform the princess. A quarter of an hour later, the princess sent someone to take Shanluo directly there.

She followed the maidservants of the mansion and soon arrived at Li Xiying's place. She saw her talking to the servants from a distance. She was so casual when she spoke, without any princess airs. Isn't it a blessing to follow such a master?

Li Xiying looked at her and was a little surprised. "Shanluo?" She walked forward. "I was thinking of visiting you sometime. I wonder if you are used to the work in the embroidery workshop. But seeing that you came to me, it must be that you can't do it anymore, right?"

She had said that if Shan Luo couldn't do the work outside, she could come to her side, but she was the daughter of the prime minister, and her status was not low. She was also a noble lady of the prime minister's family, and she could return to Luoyang at any time, so she didn't say anything more. Now that she came to find him, he was sure that she must have come to seek refuge this time.

Shanluo did not comment on the matter of the embroidery workshop, but nodded slightly and saluted, "I hope the princess... will take it in."

"Okay, okay, you can stay. I can't go back to Luoyang for the time being." Li Xixiao smiled, and seeing that she looked embarrassed, she ordered the maids to help her wash up and change her clothes.

Before lunch, she went straight to the secret guard to check on the injury.

The half-open door made a rough sound when pushed gently, but it was not like what Fourth Uncle said, the person was not lying in bed recuperating.

There was no one in the room. It was impossible for Fourth Uncle to ask a wounded person to work, so he asked the maid to ask.

The maid had not come back for a long time, and when she came back she brought the steward with her.

The steward said respectfully, "Princess, the secret guard couldn't lie down after waking up, and is now secretly protecting you under the order of His Royal Highness Prince Xian."

Li Xi was displeased and angry, "What are you trying to protect? Isn't his life his own? Tell him to come out quickly so I can see how badly he's injured!"

The steward looked embarrassed, "This..." It's not that the people in the mansion are making things difficult for the Kunlun slave guard, it's just that he is used to being diligent and loyal. Asking him to lie down and do nothing for a while is more painful than killing him. "

"It seems that my face is not enough to make him show up. I can go find Fourth Uncle then!" Just as she was about to get up, the secret guard jumped down from the roof. He staggered and almost lost his balance. Fortunately, he was big and could withstand the pain, so he didn't make a sound.

This actually frightened the steward so much that he screamed. In the past, when His Royal Highness Prince Xian called for him to appear, there had never been such a big commotion.

He didn't dare look up at her, but just stood upright with his arms crossed in greeting.

Li Xiying was relieved to see that he was fine. She walked slowly behind him and frowned uncomfortably at the shocking wound on the back of his neck. It was just a few stitches. "Why didn't you bandage the wound? Didn't you apply medicine?"

The steward explained: "His Royal Highness Prince Xian personally examined the wound and said that there was no need to bandage it. Just leave it open, apply medicine and don't walk around.

She suddenly realized that she knew nothing about medicine and could only listen. But thinking of what her fourth uncle had said, she frowned again.

Is there such a saying?

"I still have to go find Fourth Uncle. After all, he said that you will only listen to him. I'll tell him to let you rest for half a month. If you continue to disobey, I'll ask him to kick you out of the house so that you can find your own way. Then your life or death will have nothing to do with me!" After saying that, she turned and left.

The steward did not try to persuade him. He had seen this guy's temper before. Unless His Royal Highness Prince Xian really ordered him to be expelled personally, otherwise...

"Princess!" As soon as the dark guard's deep voice came out, Li Xi stopped and listened to him continue, "I'll take a rest."

Li Xixiao smiled with satisfaction and said, "That's right, you know what to do!" Then he said to the steward, "I'll leave him in your care. Report to me anytime if he doesn't obey."

The steward was surprised and said, "Uh... yes!"

After the princess left, he still stared at the Kunlun slave in front of him in astonishment, and scolded: "You black man, pay attention to your status. Without you, there are still thousands of people who can protect the master. Don't think of yourself as so important! The princess is just sympathetic to the situation!"

The steward was extremely angry, not knowing whether he had misjudged this Kunlun slave. Originally, this Heizi had a stubborn temper and was loyal by nature and only listened to His Royal Highness Prince Xian. But now he was willing to give up his principles for the princess. You must know that his duty was to listen to His Royal Highness Prince Xian!

The secret guard didn't understand, he just knew that the steward was scolding him. He didn't get angry and walked straight to the bed in the room and fell asleep obediently.

……

An hour later, Shanluo had finished washing and dressing herself up, and she looked neat and clean. Not long after, Li Xixiao came back to invite her to have lunch together.

There was one more person enjoying the delicious food on the table. Shanluo felt a little reserved, but still sat down as usual.

The maidservants below did not dare to say anything as they did last time, but were envious in their hearts. They didn't know what her identity was, and she didn't look like a lady from a wealthy family, but more like a girl from a remote village. No matter what, it was a great honor to be regarded as a friend by the princess and to have dinner with her.

"Princess, how is the Prime Minister's wife doing?"

When the princess was called away from the embroidery workshop by Cui Sanlang that day on the pretext that his wife was ill, she turned back and did not go far.

When she heard Cui Sanlang ask the princess, "Who is Zhi'er?", she was extremely surprised. Later, she did not dare to stay for a moment and immediately went to work, but she was still a little worried.

But when I think about it, it seems that I shouldn’t ask the princess this question. But once the words are spoken, it’s impossible to take them back.

Li Xi's expression froze, and then she understood her secret concern. After all, they were related by blood. She replied, "She is not in good health. If you want to see her, I can take you there."

Shan Luo had a complicated expression and his eyes were evasive.

"I promised Madam Xiang that I would go see her when I'm free. I'll take you with me then. Once we've developed a good relationship, maybe you'll want to recognize her. It will be easy to recognize her then."

Shan Luo thought of her grandfather's face and what he said to her, and her heart was beating fast. She nodded and then shook her head, "How many days can a grown-up girl live happily after recognizing her parents? I don't want to change the status quo..."

Li Xiying took this very seriously. She couldn't just stay by her parents' side and be an old aunt forever. Besides, few people had the same attitude and awareness towards life as Li Xiying, and she didn't have the support of her elders.

But if he had the Prime Minister's Mansion as a background, he could marry someone better. For example, if he married Han Qi, his status and background would be compatible in everyone's eyes, and in terms of family background, he might even be marrying above his station.

She didn't say these words. A person's identity and background were not necessary. If she really didn't want to, no one would force her to admit it.

After lunch, someone came to report that a man named Han Qi was looking for the princess. Li Zhen saw that it was Han Shilang's son and invited him to the front yard.

Li Xi was puzzled. He came to see her? What a coincidence. He didn't come yesterday, nor the day before, but today Shanluo came, and he came too. She had roughly guessed who he was looking for, so she took Shanluo with her to the front yard.

When Li Xuan heard that it was Li Xiying who was looking for him, he asked a few questions.

Han Qi said patiently: "I am here to say goodbye. My father has been demoted and will have to go to Puzhou soon, so I came to say hello."

Li Xun felt sorry after hearing this, his grandfather was also a rare talent in the court. He heard from His Majesty that Han Yu had refused to be the prime minister several times, but he had always made many contributions to the court. Perhaps someone had framed him, otherwise it was definitely not His Majesty's intention to demote him!

But when did Xi Xuan know Han Qi? Thinking that it was a matter between young people, he didn't want to stay and listen, so he went to do his own thing and asked him to wait in the front yard.

The cool autumn wind blew across his forehead, mixed with the unique fragrance of a young girl. He stood up and looked over, and saw Shan Luo following Li Xiying to the front yard.

Han Qi had heard more or less about yesterday's banquet. Due to his status, he bowed to Li Xiying and said, "Greetings, Princess." He then bowed to Shan Luo as well.

Shan Luo's face flushed slightly, and he unconsciously leaned closer to Li Xiying, and smiled back at Han Qi's gift.

"Are you here to look for Shanluo?" Li Xiying said bluntly.

Han Qi did not deny it either, "My father was impeached and demoted to Puzhou. I had to go with him. This time I came here... for Shanluo!"
