Chapter Eighty-Five: Clothes
But said that when Saitama visited the eldest princess, Li Yi had already left the princess's mansion, and he knew that the eldest princess did what she said, and she didn't have to worry about what she promised, so he went back to the house first to change his clothes, and he was afraid that his mother would worry, after all, he didn't return overnight without saying hello, and he never had to.
Shi was also very worried when he saw that his son had not returned overnight, so he sent someone to ask in the morning. However, Li Yi doesn't like to tell the people around him about something, and the people who serve only know that Li Yi went to play chess with Master Guangci of Huguo Temple yesterday, but no one knows why he didn't return overnight.
Later, someone reported that the second young master's horse had returned, but there was still no trace of the second young master, Shi couldn't help but feel anxious, and he wanted to go to Grandpa Guo to help find Li Yi, but he was afraid of causing some trouble to his son, and there was no news of the son Li Duan recently, and Qi Guogong and Lian were not in a good mood.
Shi waited patiently until noon, and was about to go to see Qi Guogong, when he heard someone say that the second prince had returned. Li Yi changed his clothes and hurried to see his mother, but he didn't dare to tell his mother the truth, only said that he drank too much at night and stayed in a friend's annex, and he didn't have time to tell his mother. Shi looked at him, there were still scratches on his face, and he knew that he couldn't believe his words, but his son was older, and he couldn't ask about everything, besides, he had always been a child who knew how to measure, so he didn't say much at the moment, so he asked Li Yi to go back and rest quickly.
Shi waited for Li Yi to leave, and ordered someone to boil soup and send it to Li Yi, but he didn't expect the maid to come back and report that the second young master had gone out again.
Shi shook his head helplessly, and didn't care about him anymore.
It turned out that Li Yi returned to the room, remembering that in the eldest princess's mansion, King Rong had not yet married, how could there be a young girl's clothes, even if there were the eldest princess's young clothes, I was afraid that Saitama would overstep the system if she wore them, so she secretly scolded herself for being careless, and hurriedly rode out of the house and went straight to the ready-to-wear shop in the market.
Li Yi is a young man in the end, and his brain came out as soon as he was hot, but when he saw it in the city, he was dumbfounded, how could a man's family go to buy women's clothes. Thinking about Saitama again, I could only bite the bullet and find the largest ready-to-wear shop in the capital to enter. When the shopkeeper saw a man in a fancy costume come in, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
"I don't know what Childe needs, but the small store has the most complete things. The shopkeeper's enthusiastic tone eliminated Li Yi's embarrassment. He said:
"I'm going to buy some clothes for my sister and take out your good goods to see. ”
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. The shopkeeper agreed, and at the same time ordered Xiao Er to take out the things in the store for Li Yi to see. Li Yi probably looked at it, but he was a little impatient.
"Why are these things not better?" When the shopkeeper heard Li Yi's tone, his eyes rolled and he hurriedly said:
"Childe didn't know, there were still good things in this store, but the price was outrageously high, so he didn't dare to take it out. When Li Yi heard this, he said,
"If you have a good one, why don't you take it out? I'm afraid that my lord won't be able to pay for it?"
"Don't dare, don't dare. "The shopkeeper gave the child a look to get something. After a while, Xiao Er came out with a few more clothes. The shopkeeper introduced:
"Please also see, this is made of fine silk yarn, not a small boast, this material is not worse than the follow-up, that is, the small shop has this kind of thing. When Li Yi looked at it, it was really light and soft, and the appearance was simple, which was very satisfying. With several meetings between him and Saitama, he found that she always liked plain clothes, so he chose a total of four sets of clothes such as light yellow and light blue, as well as a hat, paid the bill, and rode straight to the princess's mansion.
When the princess heard that Li Yi was coming again, she couldn't help but be very surprised, wondering why he went and returned. When she saw Li Yi and listened to his intentions, the princess couldn't cry or laugh.
"What's the matter, Brother Yi'er, I'm afraid that I won't be able to find a piece of clothing for her in the princess's mansion, so I sent it so blindly?" Li Yi was also a little embarrassed when he heard this, and then bowed down and saluted:
"How dare the kid, I'm just afraid that I'm going to trouble Her Royal Highness the Princess. Her Royal Highness the princess was willing to help with this, and the boy was already grateful, and he didn't dare to trouble the princess anymore. The eldest princess smiled and said:
"In the end, it's not that I'm afraid of wronging others. Well, pity your sincerity, Aunt Ma, help him send it over. ”
"Thank you, Your Highness the Princess. Li Yi said happily.
"Do you want to see you two again?"
"It's not necessary, it's not convenient after all, and there are ......" said Li Yi took out a bottle from his sleeve again,
"This is jasper condensation balm, the best way to invigorate blood and dispel blood stasis, please ask Aunt Ma to give it to her as well. The princess laughed angrily when she heard this,
"If you have anything to say, I really don't worry about it, so I will live in your house. Li Yi blushed,
"Don't dare, don't dare, the kid retired first. ”
After Li Yi left, the eldest princess of Ronghua said to Aunt Ma with a smile:
"I didn't expect this Li Yi to be a seed of infatuation, so attentive to that girl, first the palace heard the rumors in Beijing, and thought that this guy was an outlier in the Guogong Mansion, but I didn't expect it to be a thing to drop a thing. You go and get the things, and by the way, tell her that Ming'er came here early in the morning, and this palace wants to see what kind of strange woman this is. Aunt Ma agreed and went down.
Saitama had already fallen asleep, and when she heard Aunt Ma coming, she hurriedly got up to greet her, but Aunt Ma stopped her, and only said that she was sending something, and she didn't need to be polite, so Saitama just did it. When he heard Aunt Ma say that these things were sent by Li Yi, Saitama couldn't help but be shocked, and thought that he would never see him again, but he gave himself such a gift. After Aunt Ma retreated, Mo Xiang opened the white porcelain bottle, and suddenly a fragrant smell filled the air. When Moka applied the dark green transparent ointment to Saitama on his feet, a cold feeling suddenly came from his feet, and the original painful feeling was relieved at once.
"This is jasper condensation balm, but it's a precious thing, I heard that it's an internal thing, and there aren't even many princesses' mansions. ”
Despite her exhaustion, Saitama couldn't sleep anymore, staring at the carvings on the top of her bed, her mind in a state of confusion. Why is he so good to himself? Saving himself that day was already a great kindness, but he took into account the issue of honor and dignity, and sent himself to the princess's mansion, and now he has sent clothes so carefully. Is it because you like yourself...... Saitama immediately interrupted this thought, even if he had something to do with him, she already had a marriage contract with the Kunigong Mansion, although she had not yet accepted it, but it was already a certainty.
She has never longed to be liked by a person, and has a happy marriage with a concubine, even in the most secret corner of her heart, she just wants to have an ordinary family, and her husband and children live a dull life. Therefore, even when she crashed, she had no regrets, so that she would die a hundred times, and there was no need to bother.
But now, when she touched the soft clothes in the dark, remembered that he protected her with all his might when she fell off the cliff, and remembered the sudden but warm embrace in the carriage, she wanted to have this feeling of being cared for the first time, but that happiness was so far away from her. Before I knew it, a tear slipped from the corner of my eye and landed on my cheek.
