53. Quid pro quo (I)
Don't look at what the princess said easily, let Tao Xiaoyao make a bottle of spices for her in one day, but that bottle of spices was made by Tao Xiaoyao in the Snow Misty Mountain for a full five days, although Tao Xiaoyao's original intention was to make this fragrance able to charm people within a radius of ten miles, but it didn't come to an end, after making it in the end, not only did it not achieve the expected effect, but even an ant couldn't be fascinated, but to Tao Xiaoyao's surprise, this fragrance was very appetizing to her, so even if it was a failure, Tao Xiaoyao still kept it and named it April Flower Fragranceใ
Fortunately, this time it was much more proficient than the last time, and Tao Xiaoyao stayed in that room all day, except for a while in the middle of the night, and the rest of the time was almost soaked in making April flowers.
Even so, the princess was still very dissatisfied, and sent Xiaojian to urge four or five times.
Tao Xiaoyao complained about this, but because Xiaojian always threatened her with a small axe, she had to resign herself to speeding up the process in her hand, and finally made a small bottle of April flower fragrance two days later.
Afraid that this time the princess would use up her two days of hard work in half a day, Tao Xiaoyao specially made up a trumped-up sequelae to scare Xiaojian, "You can't apply more flowers in April, and if you wipe too much, it will make the skin prone to red rashes." โ
Xiaojian relayed the original words to the princess, and sure enough, the princess was frightened, and she didn't come to Tao Xiaoyao for four days in a row to ask for a new April flower fragrance.
The princess didn't come to find trouble, and Tao Xiaoyao was also happy.
After staying in this princess palace for a few days, she probably figured out some of the situation here.
According to the maid in the room next to her, their princess's name is Qiao Ji, and she is the only daughter of the demon king, and she is quite favored, but she was born with a love of dancing knives and guns, so she has not been cultivated to be the temperament and demeanor that a princess should have has always been the most troublesome thing for the demon king. Fortunately, the princess fell in love at first sight with Sikong Sang, who stood out in the Magister Selection Competition, in order to meet Sikong Sang's criteria for choosing a wife-gentle and lovely demeanor, she shook off her previous rough style, no longer wearing armor but wearing gorgeous princess clothes, not fiddling with weapons all day long but studying piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and even today because Sikong Gongzi likes to smell a woman and collects spices everywhere.
The maid also said that the princess had a violent personality before, and threw the subordinates who angered her into the cage at every turn to feed her pet little axe, although the demon king was quite subtle about this, but because Georgie was his only daughter, he pretended to turn a blind eye to it. Because of this, the people of the princess's palace were worried all day long, and the people outside secretly put adjectives such as barbaric horror before the princess.
Therefore, the appearance of Sikong Sang Gongzi is simply the gospel of the servants of the princess's palace.
Because of Sikong Sang, Princess Qiao Ji not only hasn't taken down people to feed the little axe for a long time, but even Ping Suli has treated her subordinates gently, and she no longer punishes her at every turn as before.
Tao Xiaoyao scoffed at this, according to her, the gentle and lovely wife selection criteria must have been taken by Sikong Sauna to fool Princess Qiao Ji, he probably didn't expect that the princess, who was known for her barbarism and horror, would be willing to change her personality for him.
Whether it is Sikong Sang or Qiao Ji, they are not good birds! Tao Xiaoyao silently made a definition in her heart.
But it's also a pity for that princess Joji, I'm afraid that no matter how much she does, that Sikong Sang won't look at her more. It's also strange to say, Tao Xiaoyao one day accidentally saw the demon king who came to visit Qiao Ji in the backyard of the princess palace, and she was handsome, and the noble lady who was a bird next to the demon king should be Qiao Ji's mother, and she looked like a beautiful and moving person, how could she give birth to such an ordinary-looking daughter as Qiao Ji?
On this day, Tao Xiaoyaoshu climbed onto the roof of the back wing, and when she was comfortably basking in the sun, there was a sudden call from below.
"Tao Xiaoyao, the princess summoned you, where did the dead girl go?" Xiao Jian couldn't find Tao Xiaoyao in the house, and after a little thought, he withdrew from the room, and the wind was blowing under his feet, and he easily flew to the roof.
"You dead girl, sure enough, you're running to the roof again to be lazy. โ
Tao Xiaoyao raised her eyelids, looked at the little sword, and turned over again, letting the sun shine on her back.
"What are you doing here, the princess summoned you!" Xiao Jian saw that Tao Xiaoyao did not react, so he simply walked forward and carried Tao Xiaoyao on his shoulder, and flew to the front hall of the princess palace.
Although Xiaojian's posture was very strong, Tao Xiaoyao was too lazy to walk at the moment, so she simply found a more comfortable position on Xiaojian's shoulder, and let her say that she carried it to the front hall and put it down again.
Speaking of which, after staying in the princess hall for so many days, her lazy muscles seem to be growing again, which is not a good phenomenon, Tao Xiaoyao thought with a long yawn.
Princess Qiao Ji saw that Xiaojian had brought Tao Xiaoyao to her, pushed away the teacup handed over by Xiaogun, walked in front of Tao Xiaoyao in three steps and two steps, and stretched out her hand to her, "Give it to me." โ
"What?" Tao Xiaoyao stopped yawning and replied blankly.
"The recipe for the scent of April flowers!" said the princess, as a matter of course.
"Did I say I was going to give you the recipe?"
"If you don't give it to me, I'll let Chasing Wind take you and feed the little axe!" the princess threatened.
Although Tao Xiaoyao didn't understand what kind of wind the princess was smoking today, and came to her to ask her for the formula of April flowers, she didn't bother to think about the reason, so she simply made a rogue look, "Okay, okay, you can take me to feed you some axe, then you won't be able to get the formula of April flowers for the rest of your life." โ
"You!" was bitten by Tao Xiaoyao, and even the means to scare her with a small axe were useless, Qiao Ji was a little irritable, "Quickly give me the fragrance of April flowers, I will give you whatever you want!"
Tao Xiaoyao was very dissatisfied with Qiao Ji's tone of charity, and replied with a snort, "I'm afraid you can't afford what I want." โ
"Joke! What is there here that my princess Joji can't afford to give!" Joki was stabbed backhand by Tao Xiaoyao, a little unhappy that Tao Xiaoyao questioned her ability.
Tao Xiaoyao rolled her eyes, she wanted to take the opportunity to let Qiao Ji let her out of the palace, but she had been too leisurely in the princess's palace these days, and Tao Xiaoyao was reluctant to give her the formula, the corners of her mouth hooked, and she came up with a good way to delay time, "Okay, then I will exchange identities with you Princess Qiao Ji for ten days, in these ten days I will be Princess Qiao Ji, and you will be the spice master Tao Xiaoyao!"
If Qiao Ji doesn't agree to this condition, then there will be no loss to her Tao Xiaoyao.
But if Qiao Ji is really so brainless, then Tao Xiaoyao will make a lot of money.
I have to say that Tao Xiaoyao's idea is good.
If Qiao Ji agrees to this quid pro quo, she can enjoy the treatment of a princess once in these ten days, and then when Feng Nuo's spiritual power recovers ten days later, she will find an opportunity to go out of the palace to find him, and then follow Feng Nuo back to the human world, and then she will not be able to care about her Tao Xiaoyao.
If Qiao Ji was fast enough and was caught before she returned to the human world, Tao Xiaoyao would throw the formula to her ruthlessly, and then follow Feng Nuo to escape.
