Chapter 156: Confrontation
It turned out that it was Murong Xi who was waiting to be introduced to Luo Qi by Feng Xiaoyue who was standing at the door. Luo Qi shouldn't know Murong Xi, but judging from the texture and fabric of his clothes, he can also know that he is different from those errand runners, no wonder he has such a puzzled expression.
"The king doesn't know that the princess specially asked the shopkeeper to notify the king to come over for a meeting today, but she didn't think that it was to let the king run errands and deliver food for the princess, and the princess really gave the king a particularly big surprise."
"Who is this?" As soon as Murong Xi appeared, he made a cynical remark, which made Feng Xiaoyue feel unhappy when he heard it.
It's just that before Feng Xiaoyue could open her mouth to block Murong Xi's words, she turned her body to the side a little and looked at Luo Qi, who was sitting opposite her, with a look of disbelief.
Maybe it was because Murong Xi's attitude when he spoke was too intimate, which made Rocky a little difficult to accept.
Feng Xiaoyue didn't expect misunderstandings to happen so easily, and she didn't know how to explain for a while, so she had to stand up and introduce it truthfully.
"This is my imperial uncle, His Royal Highness the current King of Han, Mr. Rocky can also come here to discuss any business in the future."
"Hello Your Royal Highness, I'm Merchant Rocky." Hungry Qi hurriedly stood up, and as a courtesy, he put his right hand on his heart and bowed to Murong Xi.
But after thinking about it, Rocky still doesn't seem to understand the relationship between the two. Quite a little wanted to cover up the left hand to cover his mouth and whispered to Feng Xiaoyue, but in fact, the voice was so loud that the whole room could hear it.
"Madame, is he your own uncle?" He is lively, but his thoughts and guesses are too jumpy.
Feng Xiaoyue suddenly felt that her cold temperament was quite good, at least she wouldn't ask such a stupid question.
"No, he's my husband's uncle by seniority."
"Husband?" This time, Murong Xi was surprised.
"This king still doesn't know when the princess and Ling'er have such a good relationship, could it be that in just a few days, this king has missed a lot of things?" Feng Xiaoyue had to bother to explain to the people on both sides at the same time, feeling that she was really tired, she lowered her head and raised her eyes weakly to look at Murong Xi, and after making a gesture of please, she didn't wait for Murong Xi to sit down, she went over and sat down first.
"It's just a title, and when you introduce it to others, it's easier to say."
"Huh." Murong Xi smiled and put the fan away, Feng Xiaoyue has not changed her opinion of Murong Lin, indicating that she still has many good scenes to watch.
Taking a few steps to the right, Murong Xi happened to sit in the middle of Feng Xiaoyue and Luo Qi.
Xiao Yun and Lin Xiao beside Feng Xiaoyue politely gave up their positions, and Liuyi stood between Murong Xi and Feng Xiaoyue, took the teapot and poured him a cup of fragrant tea with three nods.
"I know the name of the gentleman. I don't know what the last name of the gentleman is. "I just came from outside, and now I have to sit quietly in my position, and the heat from the sun instantly fills my whole body.
Murong Xi felt that his body was a little slimy, so he brushed it, opened the folding fan in his hand and asked as if he didn't care.
It was just this question that made Rocky's face look a little different.
"My surname is Marco Polo, I know that you people here are more disgusted with our names, if His Royal Highness finds it troublesome, just call me Rocky, I can get used to it." This surname is very famous in history, Feng Xiaoyue sighed in her heart, jokingly thinking that the person who visited Tang was the Rocky in front of her.
"Mr. Rocky's name is really interesting, if this king remembers correctly, most of the people in the country next to us have the surname Marco Polo." If the sentence just now sounded like an ordinary greeting, then this sentence made Feng Xiaoyue obviously hear that Murong Xi seemed to be deliberately teasing Luo Qi's shortcomings.
"It's just a surname, and in the neighboring countries of my hometown, there will always be people who intermarry, so the children born to them will also follow the surname Marco Polo, which is not unusual." As he spoke, Rocky picked up a piece of horseshoe cake with a fork and put it in his mouth, and after swallowing a few bites, he looked back at Murong Xi with a smile.
"Just now Madame said that His Royal Highness can be my partner, but I don't know what types of industries His Royal Highness is in charge of."
"The princess is joking with Mr. Holoch, where can I do business. In fact, at most, when Mr. Lodge passes through the domain, I can use the power at my disposal to make things easier for you. Murong Xi said, picked up the teacup, used the cup to block his smile that was slowly cooling, and at the same time raised his eyes and glanced at Feng Xiaoyue gently.
Feng Xiaoyue sensed that something was wrong, so she didn't deliberately dismantle Murong Xi.
"My caravan and I are good citizens who abide by the law, and we haven't committed anything, so I don't think we can trouble the prince, Your Majesty will take action." Ruoqi's face froze, and she felt the malice hidden between Murong Xi's words, so she simply stopped taking the initiative to speak.
Rocky's answer was leaky, at least Feng Xiaoyue didn't have any doubts. Just seeing Murong Xi's playful expression, hiding a strong defense, Feng Xiaoyue coughed, and asked quietly by pouring tea.
"Your Highness the Han King, why do I feel like you've been targeting Rocky today?" How could someone as transparent as she usually believe in Rocky so easily this time?
Murong Xi sighed in his heart and denied it.
"No, the princess has thought about it a lot." If you really notice that something is wrong, simply close your mouth and stop talking, so as not to startle the snake.
Although Murong Xi was very resolute in her denial, Feng Xiaoyue still decided to trust her instincts. Murong Xi is not a person who can make trouble for nothing, which can only show that Luo Qi may have some doubts.
The three people sitting down were silent and did not speak, and the atmosphere in the private room suddenly froze for a while, until Xiao Er brought the remaining two snacks to ease up.
Because Murong Xi was also in this room, the shopkeeper specially asked someone to make 30,000 glutinous rice balls. Without Xiaoyun and Liuyi doing anything, Feng Xiaoyue sat directly and reached out to take a bowl and handed it to Rocky first.
"In this bowl of meatballs, I asked the shopkeeper to add a little more sugar pickled osmanthus, which should taste good, but it's a pity that there is no tapioca flour in the kitchen, otherwise it will look good." With a slight regret in her tone, Feng Xiaoyue said as she put the second bowl in front of Murong Xi.
"Mr. Rocky can try it, and if you like it, you can order this dish by name next time." Murong Xi propped one hand under the elbow of his right hand, and twisted a teacup on the tip of his right finger.
According to the status of dignity and inferiority, this first bowl of meatballs should have been given to Murong Xi first. But Feng Xiaoyue got along with him as he wanted for a long time, and forgot this rule for a while, but followed the guest's greatest principle and sent the first one to Rocky.
Fortunately, Murong Xi has something in his heart now, and he doesn't have the time to worry about her, if he makes trouble, even if he puts it in front of Zhang Fengyu, it will not be clear.
"I'm not a big fan of sweets, and if Mr. Rocky does, give him my share as well."
"I'm sorry about that." Rocky said very politely, but he did not agree or refuse.
The small balls as smooth as white jade are served in a faintly transparent white porcelain bowl, and a few withered yellow osmanthus flowers float on the crystal noodle soup.
Accompanied by the conspicuous water vapor in the air, the aroma of dried osmanthus flowers also dances in the wind. The white porcelain spoon passes through the bowl and accidentally collides with the edge of the bowl, creating a pleasant sound.
As soon as Rocky took a bite and put it in his mouth, his eyes immediately widened and he couldn't stop admiring.
"This is so delicious, there is a saying, it tastes like drinking honey, and it is the most suitable way to describe this bowl of meatballs." The tip of the spoon in this dynasty is a little curved, which is very different from the flat and flat iron spoons of other countries.
Murong Xin kept the teacup in front of him and never left, and his eyes always paid attention to Rocky's movements holding the spoon.
It's not like it's a rare person to come by.
"This word is called 'sweet and sweet', when I had dinner with Mr. yesterday, Mr. was full of witty words during the banquet, and he also knew the idioms of my dynasty very well, how could he even forget how simple it was?" Feng Xiaoyue followed the direction of Murong Xi's thinking, and for a while she also felt that Luo Qi was a little strange, and even talked to him with a temptation to openly and secretly.
Rocky was a little stunned by what she said, and buried his head in eating the balls. Didn't open for a long time. But Feng Xiaoyue held her share of the balls in her hand like a nobody, and smiled.
"I'm joking with Mr., but Sir will have to remember it in the future."
"Thank you, ma'am." Hearing this, I don't know what Rocky felt in his heart, but I vaguely felt that the smile on his face was a little stiff.
The sun was gradually about to set, and a foreigner ran into Wangchun Tower and hurriedly took Luo Qi away, leaving Feng Xiaoyue and Murong Xi in the private room.
"You can't have the heart to harm others, and you can't have the heart to prevent people. There are not so many smooth things in this world, and the princess must not be confused by the things in front of her, and forget to keep doubts about everything. "Obviously, she was very good to her before, but she was still very defensive of herself.
Murong Xi felt extremely depressed in his heart, and even felt aggrieved that he had bothered to do so many good things but had not been rewarded.
"I'll do everything I say, and I'll wait for the princess to figure it out slowly." Anyway, I have successfully reminded her today, and I hope that her smart mind will not let herself down again.
