CHAPTER XXIX
Zhou Li looked at the drunken woman in front of him sitting there calmly, talking about snacks in a hurry, and he was also helpless in his heart.
Do you know where you are, do you know who I am, who are you?
He is the eldest son of today's crown prince, but not a son-in-law, his mother is the crown prince Liangyuan, and everyone expects the crown princess to give birth to the prince's eldest son, so his birth seems a little out of place, not to mention that his mother is just a weak and bullying woman, no one in this house dares to snub him, but he does not really fear him. The crown princess is scheming, and she does not deduct him from food and clothing, but the teaching of riding and archery reading has never been in accordance with the specifications, he knows what it is called, and kills and kills, so that the touted people are proud and complacent, stagnant and regressive, and even lead to degeneration and failure.
His father didn't care about him, he was just the fruit of his overnight messing, and he didn't live up to his expectations of an heir.
No one really cared for him, so he was like a tree at the foot of a cliff, growing in the direction of claustrophobic darkness as those people expected, and he began to become more and more arrogant, living like a spoiled gentleman.
Zhou Li knew what those subordinates were talking about him, although they didn't dare to say it in front of him, but when they looked at themselves, they wished that they were as far away from themselves and their own courtyard as possible.
Tonight is the crown princess's birthday, and he fired at people earlier, and now there are only himself and Ahri in this courtyard. Oh...... And the woman.
As soon as he thought of this, he began to look at Xie Yiying sitting on the stone again, he had been standing here for a long time, he saw that the maid had led people here and sneaked away, the flower hall of the banquet was several corridors away from here, even if there were female guests who were drunk, they should go to the closer Mei Yiyuan to rest, someone had deliberately brought her here, probably to use themselves to move her.
Anyway, everyone knows that they have a bad temper, and it wouldn't be surprising if someone really pushed this person down or something, not to mention that he also has a cat with a bad temper.
It's just that Ahri likes her very much, I don't know why, maybe because she looks free, and she doesn't look like a person in this circle.
Xie Yiying was still there chattering by herself, and she didn't react until she was thirsty, frowning and rubbing her eyebrows, and then looked around, seeing that this should be someone's yard, but except for the child in front of him, there was not even a person walking around.
"The Prince's Mansion held a banquet today, why weren't you at the banquet?"
Zhou Li ignored her.
Xie Yiying was not hit, and persevered and continued to ask.
"Haven't you eaten yet?"
Zhou Li pursed his lips at this time.
Xie Yiying sighed and stood up, holding the fat cat under her right arm, and naturally led Zhou Li with her left hand: "Come, I'll cook for you." ”
She smelled of wine and looked warm in the empty and silent night.
Zhou Li didn't know why he didn't want to refuse her so much, it was like getting a sun that he could hold in his arms after a long trek on the snowfield, although he didn't know if it would hurt him, but he hoped to stay a little longer, warm himself, and warm himself again.
Xie Yiying showed a sense of direction that she didn't have every day in a drunken state, with only a fat cat who could only meow and an introverted and a little withdrawn little kid who didn't know if he could talk until now, and he just touched the kitchen by himself.
The kitchenette was lit up, even if it was empty.
Xie Yiying stuffed the cat into the child's arms, rolled up her sleeves and began to look for ingredients. This kind of behavior is called illegal trespass in contemporary times, and it is called trespassing in ancient times, which is not a legal act.
The kitchen was very clean, the dishes were bright and reflective, and there was not much to eat. A few eggs were turned out of the cupboard, there were a few yellow croakers in a pot on the table, there were not many vegetables left, and the quality was not high, probably left for a day or two, because of the lack of moisture, it looked wilted.
"Oops, I didn't plan to fire today......" Xie Yiying scratched her head, then took out a handkerchief and tied her long hair at will, "Cook an egg custard and fry two yellow croaker, just enough for the cat." ”
The cat seemed to understand, and meowed twice, indicating that it was satisfied with the decision.
Fortunately, there is no shortage of seasonings, Xie Yiying said to do it, and suddenly the room was full of fragrant rice, orange firelight, the sound of oil splashing, the most ordinary scene, a warm mess.
Zhou Li's face was slightly hot, and the cat stretched out in his arms. The firelight reflected in his eyes, and he blinked his eyes at Xie Yiying, his long eyelashes casting a beautiful arc under his eyelids.
After a while, the dish was out of the pot, Xie Yiying took out the dishes and chopsticks from the cupboard, two bowls of egg custard, and two plates of yellow croaker. The bowl is a green glazed lotus petal pattern bowl, and the plate is a Longquan pink green glazed lotus petal plate, she didn't look at it much, so she picked the most expensive one casually, and she didn't hesitate to use it.
But while I was drinking, I felt that good things should be used like this.
Eating across the table with Zhou Li, a small plate of fried fish was placed on the ground, and the cat was lying at the feet of the person.
Zhou Li hesitated for a moment, and saw that Xie Yiying had already eaten, so he picked up a spoon and scooped a spoonful of egg custard.
Ahh
The two of them finished eating in a blink of an eye, the cat circled around the calves of the two with its tail cocked, Zhou Li stretched out his hand to it, and it jumped into its arms with its hind legs.
Xie Yiying covered her stomach with one hand, leaned lazily on the chair, and walked very comfortably.
Then she heard Qingmei's voice.
The pressure was very low, and he called her outside as if probing: "Madame? ”
"Ah," Xie Yiying tilted his head over there, and saw Qingmei's figure through the window, "I'm leaving, child." I will invite you to dinner again next time I have the chance. ”
When he stood up, he touched the top of Zhou Li's hair dishonestly: "Don't you know how to speak, so no one cares about you." ”
She originally thought that this child was quite pitiful, but she was just begging for a beating.
…… You can't speak!
Zhou Li almost threw the cat at the person without control, and after trying to calm down for a long time, he still spoke in a sullen tone that didn't like to deal with people: "My name is Zhou Li." ”
Xie Yiying didn't expect him to speak, and he was willing to take care of himself, but after the accident, he looked flattered, and smiled with bent eyebrows: "Oh! Remember. ”
…… It's really not reassuring to put such a stupid person, and you will be eaten if you put it in those people. Zhou Li suddenly had the same heart as the second uncle, and explained to Xie Yiying: "Someone is calculating you today." ”
At this time, Qingmei was already standing at the door waiting for her, Xie Yiying waved her hand to her and motioned her to wait for a while, and then squatted down to look at Zhou Li, still not too worried, with a cheerful girlish spirit: "Then don't tell others that I'm here today," he said, raising his little finger to the person, "Let's pull the hook." ”
Zhou Li felt that Xie Yiying was so stupid, and while thinking so, he stretched out his hand and bent his little thumb to hook with someone.
Xie Yiying turned around and forgot about it, because Qingmei muttered in her ear, "How can you run around casually, the huge prince's mansion banquet is about to disperse, how anxious the slave and maid are, do you know" turned over and over, from the sedan chair to the sedan chair, from entering the house door to entering the house, until she went to take a bath.
After taking a bath, Xie Yiying and wrapped in a bathrobe came out in a moon-white single dress, and saw Zhou Jin sitting on a chair reading a book, and the two of them were left in the room. Zhou Jin looked up at her when she heard the voice, her eyes calm.
The end is that the years are quiet.
Xie Yiying's courage to serve wine and commit murder suddenly retreated, and she pursed her mouth and asked Zhou Jin: "Zhou Jin, I know I'm always messing around...... Does it make you feel embarrassed? ”
