Chapter 50: Tug of War
Li Ke returned to the house with Blaze and the housekeeper, and saw that there was only one guard left guarding the door, and he seemed to be a little absent-minded, and kept looking anxiously.
"When will it be my turn, why hasn't this kid come back?" The guards were talking to themselves, not even noticing that anyone had come to their side.
"What do you see, the king's guard?" The butler asked curiously.
"Participation...... See Your Highness! Hearing the butler's voice, the guard suddenly came back to his senses, and saw Li Ke beside him, trembling with fright.
"Why are you alone?" Li Ke frowned, when did his guards start to learn to be lazy!
"The princess took the little ones to play in the backyard, and the little princess went and hasn't come back yet." The guard had no choice but to answer truthfully.
Li Ke strode into the mansion, and the mansion, which had always been lively, became extremely quiet at this time, the cleaning houses were gone, the maids who cleaned up were gone, and even the guards who were patrolling were gone.
What the hell is going on? Li Ke quickened his pace full of doubts, followed by the same puzzled butler and Blaze.
"Come on, come on, come on......" shouts came and went.
The cheering shouts of melodious jumping up and down, I saw that some of the guards, the family, and the girls were divided into two groups, pulling a thick hemp rope together, and a red cloth strip was tied to the middle of the hemp rope. Everyone on the rope pulled desperately with all their strength, for fear that the red rope would deviate to the other side, and the rest of the people shouted as hard as Melodious, and their morale was suddenly shocked when they heard it.
"Yay, RED wins, let's go to the next group!" Melodious didn't find out about Li Ke's arrival, the guards didn't find out, the maid Ding didn't find out, and the noble prince who had been praised to the sky since he was a child was ignored at this time.
"Huh!" The butler made a noise and drew everyone's attention.
"See Your Highness!" In addition to the melodious, everyone knelt down and said goodbye.
"What are you doing?" Li Ke came to Melodious's side and saw her holding a piece of straw paper and writing gimbled words on it with a brush.
"It's called tug-of-war! Do you want to participate? Melodious introduced the gameplay to Li Ke.
"Let's all go down, and let this king find out who leaves his post without permission, and then go and get twenty boards himself." Li Ke reprimanded with a dark face, not that he wanted to be a bad guy, but that it was really dangerous for the guards to leave their posts one by one, and it would be easy for an assassin to enter the mansion at this time.
"Why?" Seeing that everyone dispersed in a hurry, there were only a few people left in the courtyard of Nuoda in an instant, Li Ke who was strict, Blaze with a look of concern, and the housekeeper who was smiling.
"This is a loss of the identity of the princess!" Li Ke said with a black face.
"Bad Silver!" Melodiously stomped his feet, and the airbag returned to Qingfu Temple.
………
Melodious, lazy lying on the soft couch, looking listless.
"Princess, what do you want to eat for lunch?" Jin'er asked while pinching Melodious Legs, Tong'er and Xiu'er were embroidering patterns on the side.
"If you don't want to eat anything, you have to raise pigs this day!" Melodious looked at the calves that seemed to have become a little thicker again, and sighed.
"Yes, Princess, you're fat!" Jin'er looked like she had discovered a new world.
"Stinky girl, let's talk nonsense about letting you lose weight with this girl tonight!" Melodious heard the girl say that she was fat and began to be unhappy, she said she could, but others said that it was absolutely not allowed.
"The slave is wrong, princess, you are not fat!" Jin'er said against her will, lose weight, don't, remember that every time the princess mentions weight loss, let them accompany her, and eat some messy things called "nutritious weight loss meals".
"What has Your Highness been busy with lately?" Melodious asked suddenly.
"Princess, if you want to know, go and see it yourself, every time Your Highness comes down, you won't be turned away!" Tong'er stopped what she was doing and began to report her grievances to Her Royal Highness, since Her Royal Highness did not allow the princess to play with her subordinates, the princess was angry and ignored Her Royal Highness.
"Whose maid are you, eat inside and out!" Melodious glared at Tong'er.
"Princess, when you should be soft, you have to be soft, since Your Royal Highness has come to coax you, let's go down the steps, how can husband and wife not quarrel, how can it be good not to meet so much?" Xiu'er, who has never liked to talk, also spoke at this time.
"Look, I've gone too far, well, I'll go see him today." Melodious got up, tidied up a little in the mirror, and changed into beautiful clothes.
Melodious took Tong'er to Yulin Courtyard, this is the third time she has entered this courtyard, she leisurely walked around the courtyard, sighing that this place is much better than her "mistress" courtyard, and there is an independent kitchen.
"Hail the princess!" The people saluted.
"What about Your Highness?" Melodious asked.
"Princess Qiqi, Your Highness is in the study." A family said.
"I'll go to the study to see Your Highness!" Melodious asked Tong'er to wait outside, and walked in the direction of the study.
"Squeak...... Melodiously pushed open the door quietly, and quietly put his head into the room, seeing that Li Ke was still reading at the desk, he shouldn't have noticed her! She tiptoed into the room, and after walking around the study, she found that Li Ke still hadn't looked up, hadn't she found her yet?
"Ahem...... curiously turned behind Li Ke, and coughed deliberately, but Li Ke still didn't look up.
Could it be that the ancients really didn't listen to what was going on outside the window when they were reading books?
"Guess who I am?" Melodious hands quietly blindfolded Li Ke's eyes, and asked in a coarse voice.
"Don't want to guess!" Li Ke didn't move and still maintained the posture of reading, if it weren't for the cold voice coming out of his mouth, people would really think that he was asleep.
"Guess what!"
"Not interested!"
"You can guess as soon as you guess, and you will be rewarded for guessing correctly!" Melodious and patient.
"Don't want to guess!" The voice of the reply was still cold.
The corners of his melodious mouth twitched, this little man just loves to hold grudges, isn't it just that he has embarrassed him these days!
"It's boring!" Melodious sat alone on the chair next to him, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, the tea was warm and fragrant.
It's so delicious, and when I wanted to take a few more sips, I found that I had bottomed out, and I wanted to order someone to have another drink, but I found that Li Ke looked at him strangely. "What's the matter, do I have flowers on my face?"
"You're drinking the king's tea!" Li Ke said with a stern face.
"Oh? Give it back to you! Melodious pushed the empty teacup towards Li Ke, and the corners of his eyes swept to his thin lips, wondering if this was an indirect kiss?
"What then? Already drunk by you? Li Ke's face that should have been strict suddenly changed, and his face was full of banter.
"Just pour you another glass!" pouted melodiously, scolding her that she hadn't cared about indirect kissing with him, but he was caring about a cup of broken tea, so stingy!
"But that's not the cup just now, that kind of tea is no longer in the mansion!" Although Li Ke is teasing, this is true, this tea was brought back from Yunnan by his friend Yunxuan, and there is not much, but this one is the last left in the house.
"What then?" Melodious rolled his eyes, and added a sentence in his heart, I can still spit it out for you.
