The Male Lead's Backyard is on Fire

"Why doesn't the girl drink tea? Are you not used to it? Come here, give this girl a cup of new tea that I just purchased from Yan Guo this year." The man said with a smile, his words were very enthusiastic.

"No need, I don't like to drink tea." Liu Luoyi said coldly, she raised her eyes to see the man, he was handsome, but he was darker.

Generally speaking, it is not as good as her, Liu Luoyi thought secretly, so she relaxed, looked away, and looked at the layout of the house, the decoration is very grand, the floor is covered with thick blankets, the walls are inlaid With many precious stones, it looks extremely rich.

Liu Luoyi's heart skipped a beat, judging from the decoration of the mansion, this man's family background is very solid, she frowned, and looked at the man with even more hostile eyes.

But the man seemed to have not noticed it, and was still talking. He suddenly paused, and smiled apologetically: "After talking for so long, I haven't asked Miss Fang's name. My surname is Baili, and my name is Ming Yuan." , My father was conferred the title of Marquis because of his meritorious service, so the common people call me Little Marquis."

The family background is prominent.Liu Luoyi felt as if he was facing a big enemy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, he still said calmly: "Liu Luoyi."

"It turned out to be Miss Liu. The princess came back from Yan Kingdom all the way, and only brought Miss Liu with her. Presumably, the girl must have a golden orchid friendship with the princess. That is also my friend of Baili Mingyuan. I will use tea instead of wine to toast the girl." .” Baili Mingyuan picked up the teacup on the table and drank it down.

Liu Luoyi became more and more irritable, she politely drank the tea in front of her, then got up and said: "Young Lord, I have something to do today, so I left first."

She nodded, and strode out the door. Baili Mingyuan couldn't catch up, so she could only say goodbye behind her.

Where did a bamboo horse appear again, and never told her about it, Liu Luoyi walked all the way with her head bowed, feeling very uncomfortable, she kicked a stone on the side of the road, and suddenly remembered that Yu Chili said she was not a princess.

Then she didn't know about the so-called doll's kiss, so she felt more comfortable.

Before she knew it, she had already reached the quiet alley, and the maid beside her respectfully opened the door for her. She walked in slowly, found a piece of paper with the words "sell paintings" written on it, and hung it on it. On the door.

She didn't expect anyone to come, it was just boring.

She has not painted for a long time, but she is not unfamiliar with it. With a few strokes, she outlined the back of a woman. As the ink in the inkstone became less and less, the woman on the paper became more and more formed. Rolled up, very sassy.

Liu Luoyi paused for a moment, and suddenly raised the corners of her lips, smiling very helplessly, she originally wrote the painting like the maidservant in front of her, but in the end she turned into Yu Chili.

After a day of not seeing her, I miss her very much.Liu Luoyi placed the portrait in front of her, and looked at it carefully with her chin resting on her chin. Suddenly, she had an idea, and picked up a brush to draw again, and added a phoenix crown and Xiapei to Yu Chili.

At the end of the painting, she laughed more and more happily.

At this time, the door was knocked suddenly, and the maid went to open the door, but she exclaimed, almost kneeling on the ground, and was supported by someone who came.

Liu Luoyi heard the movement and raised her head to look, but also froze in place, she hurriedly covered the portrait on the table under a pile of rice paper, then stood up and went forward to salute.

"You don't need to be too polite. The king came back from the school grounds and inspected the people's situation as a routine. Seeing that there are more shops here, he thought of going in and taking a look." The king of the Northern Territory stood at the door, looked around the house, and then walked slowly came in.

He was tall, and the whole room seemed much smaller as soon as he entered the door.

Liu Luoyi didn't dare to speak, she had always been in awe of the king, and on this occasion, she only dared to lower her head, for fear that he would see something.

"You are the younger generation brought back by Li'er, so don't be afraid." The Northern Territory King stretched out his hand and patted her on the shoulder, the force was still very strong, and Liu Luoyi did not bend down because of his strength.

"There is no need to close the door." The King of the Northern Territory ordered the maidservant, and then strode into the room, looking at the pens, ink, paper, inkstones and cinnabar powder on the table, a little surprised, "Are these all yours?"

Liu Luoyi still bowed her head and nodded. Fortunately, the king of the Northern Territory did not close the door, and the conversations of passers-by outside were very clear, which made her feel less oppressed.

"She's still a talented girl. Then how about drawing a portrait of this king?" The king of the Northern Territory was very interested, and he sat down on the chair vigorously, signaling Liu Luoyi to start.

Liu Luoyi never expected that the king would be so close to the people, she bit her lip, but dared not refuse, so she could only bite the bullet and walk forward.

"I haven't had a portrait for a long time, and the Northern Territory is still martial, so there are few good painters. When I went to Yan Kingdom that year, I got a good painting, which fully showed the majestic and heroic posture of the king. That painting has been hung up to now. In this king's study." The king of the Northern Territory was very excited when he mentioned this matter.

Liu Luoyi smiled unnaturally, picked up the pen, but didn't dare to put it down.

"Don't worry, you are Li'er's friend, even if the painting is ugly, I won't blame you." The King of the Northern Territory said with a hearty smile.

Liu Luoyi gritted her teeth, and then dared to do it. Soon, there was no other sound in the room except the rustling sound of painting.The feeling of tension gradually disappeared, and she became more and more devoted, carefully depicting the majesty of the emperor in front of her.

For Liu Luoyi, painting is sacred, as long as she immerses herself in it, she will no longer care about the surrounding environment, especially when the painting is gradually taking shape, the joy in her heart is beyond words.

Unknowingly, an hour and a half had passed before Liu Luoyi put down his pen, sweating profusely, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking up, the king of the Northern Territory had already fallen asleep on the chair, snoring loudly for a while, but it was the maidservant who was bold enough to come forward and call out to wake him up.

The King of the Northern Territory stood up, strode to the table, and took the painting that Liu Luoyi handed over. The moment he saw the painting, his eyes burst into surprise. He looked up and down, admiring again and again.

"I don't know why, when I saw your paintings, this king was familiar with them, but you painted them more vigorously, okay, okay!" Holding the painting, he couldn't put it down.

"The painting is good, the king has a reward, come here." The king of the Northern Territory said loudly, and an attendant walked in from outside, handing over a money bag full of gold ingots.

Seeing this, Liu Luoyi waved her hands in fright, but she couldn't match the majesty of the King of the Northern Territory, so she lowered her head and took it.

"Good painting skills, good young man!" The Northern Territory King looked at Liu Luoyi appreciatively, and the more he watched, the more he admired him. He patted the table boldly and said, "Do you want to stay in my Northern Territory?"

Liu Luoyi opened her eyes wide.

"There are few painters in this palace. It is very rare for someone with such skill at such a young age. If you want to stay in the Northern Territory, this king can give you an official position to take care of this matter. How about it?"

Liu Luoyi was shocked and speechless for a moment, seeing her like this, the king of the Northern Territory smiled and waved his hands: "No hurry, you discuss it with Li'er, if you agree, ask Li'er to report back to the king. .”

"You have other paintings, show them to me."

Liu Luoyi shook her head hastily when she heard the words, and said in a low voice: "The girl of the people did not bring."

The King of the Northern Territory took a glance, and saw a corner exposed under the rice paper, he reached out to take it, Liu Luoyi was startled, and hurried forward to stop it.

It's a pity that her movements are not as fast as the king of the Northern Territory. The next moment, the painting completely appeared in front of the King of the Northern Territory.

"This...looks very familiar..." The Northern Territory King stroked his beard and looked at it carefully.

Liu Luoyi was so flustered that she didn't know what to do. She clenched her sleeves tightly with her hands, almost rubbing a hole. She kept praying in her heart, praying that she didn't look like the picture, and the king of the Northern Territory couldn't see that it was Yuchi. Leave.

"Isn't this Li'er? It's just that the back is so similar, okay." The king of the Northern Territory said, and then his expression turned a little puzzled, "It's just that this is Yan Guo's wedding dress?"

Liu Luoyi didn't dare to answer, she kept twiddling the floor tiles below with her toes, not daring to raise her eyes.

The King of the Northern Territory took another look at Liu Luoyi, then at the painting in his hand, and then slowly put it down without saying a word.

"It's getting late, I don't want to disturb you anymore, if you're interested in what happened just now, please tell Li'er." The King of the Northern Territory smiled kindly, and strode out the door.

The attendants outside the door followed and asked in a low voice: "My lord, will this work? You want to reward the princess' friends to ease the relationship with the princess, and you don't have to promise her an official position directly."

"No, this young man is really talented. For more than ten years, this king has never found a painter as good as that female painter in Yan Kingdom. Her painting this time really shocked me."

The Northern Territory King opened the painting and looked at it with a smile.

After a long while, he said happily: "It's really majestic, the jade tree is facing the wind!"

The attendant lowered his head and held back his laughter, not daring to speak.

In the room, Liu Luoyi breathed a sigh of relief, and hastily folded the painting on the table and put it in her sleeve, feeling very uneasy in her heart, she comforted herself, it was just a painting, it wouldn't make people think too much.

But she was in no mood to stay any longer, so she hastily locked the door and returned to the palace.

In the next few days, every day when she went out, she would run into that young master named Baili Mingyuan. He seemed to have an informant by her side, and sometimes he even ran around the city after her, chattering endlessly. Express your love and longing for the princess.

From time to time, he asked about the princess's current preferences, and then imagined the future after becoming a son-in-law. The longing on his face often made Liu Luoyi's fists itch.

On this day, Liu Luoyi deliberately did not go out, but was still entangled by the people sent by the young master, who insisted on inviting her to some kind of martial arts banquet. She didn't want to go, but she couldn't resist the persuasion of the people who came, after all, it was the master. It's not easy to drive away, and I don't want to disturb other people in the palace.

In desperation, she had to go and have a look.

It is different from the poetry and painting that Yan Guo often competes in. As the name suggests, the martial arts banquet is a martial arts competition. A house full of men and women holding various weapons, chatting and laughing happily, and Liu Luoyi standing in the middle, looking very weak and out of place.

Baili Mingyuan was standing beside her, and from time to time someone would come to talk to him respectfully, calling him son-in-law one after another, and mentioning the name of princess from time to time, making him radiant and laughing again and again.

Liu Luoyi was angry in her heart, but she didn't know how to do it.

"The princess hasn't returned to Egu yet, things are still undecided, how can you call her like that." Baili Mingyuan smiled, very satisfied in his heart, but pretended to have an expression that couldn't be done.

"Little Marquis has long been the king's candidate for the son-in-law, and it will be announced to the world in two days. We just shouted a few words in advance." Someone greeted him.

Looking at Baili Mingyuan who was trembling with laughter, Liu Luoyi rolled her eyes, and quickly walked away from his side, wanting to calm down.

"Miss Liu, don't go away. Think for me, what should I say on the day I propose to the princess?" Baili Mingyuan hopped over without looking too long, and leaned in front of Liu Luoyi to ask for advice.

"No need, she won't agree." Liu Luoyi said lightly.

"Why not, my marriage with the princess is agreed by everyone, and we are of the same family, how could the princess disagree." Baili Mingyuan laughed.

"If I say no, I won't. Little Marquis, don't waste your efforts." Liu Luoyi looked at him coldly, turned around and wanted to leave, it was too noisy here, and she was upset.

"Stop! Who are you? Our little duke is the appointed son-in-law. How dare you speak out here?" A man appeared out of nowhere, grabbed Liu Luoyi, and pulled her staggeringly. fall.

He is full of tendon and flesh, and he looks very fierce.

"Let go." Liu Luoyi frowned, trying to shake off the man, but couldn't resist his strength.

"Stop! What are you doing!" Baili Mingyuan just wanted to go forward to persuade him, but he was dragged behind by the people on the side under the pretense of protection, surrounded by a group of people, and it was difficult to break out of the encirclement.

"I said, let go." Liu Luoyi clenched her fists tightly, and she met the man's gaze without any fear in her eyes.
