Chapter 10: Chance Encounters
Li didn't hesitate to wake up hungry in the middle of the night, she didn't call Chun Tao, and she went out of the room to get something to eat. It may be that she has been in another world for a long time, and she does not pay attention to the rules and etiquette of the eldest lady as before, neither dressing nor changing clothes. It's been the middle of the night, I'm afraid that everyone is asleep, and no one will see her "honor", thinking of this, Li Weixi is even more unscrupulous, and walks out of the room with his legs raised.
Ye Xizhi looked at Zhao Qingcheng who was poured down by three cups of "pear blossom fragrance" and was very helpless, thinking that Zhao Qingcheng sent all his subordinates to rest, Ye Xizhi sighed for a while. can only go to cook sobering soup for Zhao Qingcheng in person, or Zhao Qingcheng will get up tomorrow morning and have a headache, maybe what will happen to him!
Ye Xizhi came out of the study, walked through the garden, and came to the corridor. Even if he didn't believe in ghosts and gods, he was frightened into a cold sweat by the scene in front of him. In the distance, a white-clothed "female ghost" was quickly "floating" towards him.
Ye Xizhi's handsome face was glowing with cold light, and he said coldly: "Who is so bold that he dares to pretend to be a ghost in the palace!" ”
Li did not hesitate to lower his head all the way, and was thinking about how to solve the problem of eating······ was startled by this voice, looked around at no one, and suddenly realized that the man in white was talking about himself. No woman likes to be called a 'female ghost', even if she looks a little similar to a female ghost now.
"I don't do bad things on weekdays, and I don't feel shocked when I knock on the door in the middle of the night." Li did not hesitate to be sarcastic.
The sound is a little familiar, and when I get closer, I can see the person through the moonlight. Ye Xizhi showed a smile that fascinated all beings, and said, "It turned out to be the princess, and she was polite." ”
As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person with a hand, Li didn't hesitate to feel that this man was a little familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it for a while, so she kept staring at Ye Xizhi's face.
Ye Xizhi is quite confident in his appearance, and he has long been accustomed to the fascinated eyes of women looking at him. It's just the first time that Li Weixi stared at his face so unabashedly and straightforwardly, and he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable, feeling that he had been looked at by her and peeled off a layer of skin. couldn't help but clear his throat, "It's really so good-looking, it makes the princess look so intent." ”
"Well, you're pretty good-looking. It's just that your face makes me feel so familiar, and I can't remember where I've seen it for a while. Li did not hesitate to frown and responded lightly.
She stared at herself for a long time, not attracted by his appearance, but unable to remember who he was for a while! Ye Xizhi thinks that his appearance is definitely an unforgettable type, especially for women. But right now, he can't remember what he just met yesterday!
Arching his hand again, "In Xia Ye Xizhi, we just met yesterday. Ye Xizhi reminded.
"It turned out to be Ye Gongzi, who was rude just now."
"It's under ······"
"Whoa······
Ye Xizhi's words were interrupted by a strange voice, and he looked at Li Weixi, who was a little embarrassed, with amusement.
Li Weixi was also very helpless to muttering to his stomach, "My dinner is useless, so I'm hungry now." Ye Gongzi, please take care of yourself. She was so hungry that she didn't have time to be polite to him.
Ye Xizhi took advantage of his long legs and followed closely and walked towards the small kitchen······
He didn't hesitate to follow Ye Xi all the way, and began to rummage through the kitchen as soon as he entered the kitchen. After a while, she found all the ingredients, and Li did not hesitate to make the simplest and favorite food - hot pot, which was the way she learned to eat in another world. She placed the casserole filled with water on a small stove and brought it to the table, surrounded by some washed vegetables and fresh meat, and a small dish with sauce and sesame oil on one side. In the end, he did nothing and sat and waited.
Li Weixi's actions made Ye Xiyi, who had been leaning leisurely against the kitchen door, puzzled, and he looked at Li Weixi in surprise and even forgot the purpose of his coming to the kitchen. I saw that after a while, the water was boiling. Li did not hesitate to start putting the vegetables and meat into the casserole and drifted a few times, and when it was cooked, he used chopsticks to pick up the vegetables and put them on the sesame oil and put them in his mouth.
Ye Xizhi's face was full of curiosity, he had never seen this way of eating. However, he didn't hesitate to disturb when he saw that Li didn't hesitate to eat well, and turned back to help Zhao Qingcheng cook the decanting soup.
A peculiar smell came, and Li Weixi, who was eating happily, wrinkled his nose, "What are you cooking?" Why does this smell so strange? ”
Ye Xizhi warmed the boiled decanting soup over a slight fire, took the opportunity to sit opposite Li Weixi, and asked curiously: "Is this what people from another world eat?" ”
"Well, I learned it from there." Li Weixi was not surprised that Ye Xizhi knew her origin, thinking of the situation on the wedding day and daring to "hang out" in the palace in the middle of the night, he knew that the relationship between this person and Zhao Qingcheng was not ordinary.
Ye Xizhi became more curious about this strange way of eating, and looked like I wanted to taste it too.
"What was that bowl that smelled weird and black just now?" When he was told that it was a sobering soup made by Ye Xizhi, Li did not hesitate to secretly pity Zhao Qingcheng in his heart for an instant.
In the blink of an eye, Li Wei regretted that she had almost eaten, she wiped the corners of her mouth, got up and walked towards the door.
Seeing that Li Wei didn't eat much, and there were still a lot of dishes left, Ye Xizhi wanted to sit down and taste it, but in the end he gave up, after all, his identity and reason did not allow him to do so. "I'll take you back to your room." Ye Xizhi stood up and followed Li Weixi to the courtyard.
"No, I understand Ye Gongzi's kindness."
"Even this palace may not be safe." Ye Xizhi kindly reminded. Although he knew that there must be Zhao Qingcheng's secret guard protecting Li ten steps away, he felt that it was still necessary to let this newcomer princess know what was powerful, otherwise she wouldn't know how she died when she hung up.
"Thank you Ye Gongzi for the reminder." Li did not hesitate to intuit that he was underestimated by Ye Xizhi! Although she doesn't like to calculate others, it doesn't mean that she won't be wary of others. What's more, the person who really wants to make her calculations definitely not end well, "I know that it's not peaceful here, and I guess that someone is calculating the prince." It's just that I don't want people to get rid of it quickly, so ······" Li didn't regret not to continue, she knew that Ye Xizhi understood.
When Zhao Qingcheng got married yesterday, her performance had already impressed Ye Xizhi, and now her answer made Ye Xizhi even more curious about what kind of world can make a weak lady reborn. It seems that all women who have something to do with the other world are so smart, Queen Taizu is like this, and this Miss Hou Mansion is also like this. "Anyway, it's a distance from your house, so tell me about another world, right?"
Li didn't hesitate to refuse, but he thought about why not take this opportunity to get some useful information. "Okay! Equivalence exchange you ask a question, I ask you a question. ”
Although Li Weixi's expression was flat, his eyes were full of cunning, where could he escape Ye Xizhi's eyes, "Yes, except for the question about Qing Cheng." "He's not stupid.
Li did not hesitate to see that his wishful thinking fell through, and he was not disappointed, but sighed for the friendship between them. Li did not hesitate to ask some questions about the current situation in various countries and the current situation in the court, and by the way, he also learned about the current situation of the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion. Ye Xizhi was different, he asked a lot of questions from another world, and after a few rounds of questions, Ye Xizhi still had a lot of questions to ask.
"My question is finished, if you want to ask again, one hundred taels of silver for one question." Li did not hesitate to be pestered by Ye Xizhi and had been at the door of the room for a long time, and he was really a little sleepy.
"Today's last question, what are your plans to do when your agreement with Qing Cheng expires in a year?" Ye Xizhi didn't feel sorry for Yinzi, seeing that she was really sleepy, her eyelids were fighting, and she still endured it.
Li didn't hesitate to think about it and said, "I will leave the palace and then find a picturesque place to live in seclusion." With that, he stretched out his hand with his palm upward.
Ye Xizhi smiled slightly, took out the silver ticket and handed it over. "It's late at night, let's go in! I'll ask you another day. ”
"If you want to ask to come to the palace to find me, you can just ask me a question is conditional."
"It's a deal!" Ye Xizhi responded happily. After not taking a few steps, he suddenly turned around, "In the future, you won't open your mouth and shut up a 'Ye Gongzi'." Why don't you call me Xizhi, and I call you 'unsparing'? Ye Xizhi really wanted to know how Zhao Qingcheng would react when he heard them call each other like this, and he wanted to define the possibility of Li Weihe's becoming a real princess.
Ye Xizhi did not deny that he was selfish, he really didn't want to waste his youth waiting for Zhao Qing to wait for Zhao Qing anymore, but the latter was indifferent. If Zhao Qingcheng is not as good as Rumeng as he appears, but only between the current identities of the two, then Ye Xizhi will definitely help them, even if that result will break his heart.
Li Wei didn't hesitate to think about what Ye Xizhi said about the Hou Mansion, thinking that the Hou Mansion would never go back. didn't listen to Ye Xizhi's words at all, just nodded mechanically.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
I slept too late yesterday, and I didn't hesitate to wake up from sleep. Chun Tao has been guarding the door, and when she heard the movement, she went into the room to wait for Li to wash and change her clothes, and by the way, she mentioned that Zhao Qingcheng suffered from the cold because of her work last night. This morning, the court also took leave and did not go, and the emperor gave many precious medicinal materials and a thousand-year-old ginseng. Li didn't hesitate to hear that it was funny in his heart, what did he suffer from the wind and cold for the country, obviously he drank and talked about it last night, and he didn't wake up with a hangover today.
Li didn't hesitate to eat some porridge simply, and when she thought of Ye Xizhi's bowl of decanting soup last night, she sighed lightly and told Chun Tao to find the ingredients and rushed into the kitchen. Li did not hesitate to look at the honey-stewed pumpkin in his hand, and cautiously walked towards the study with a tray.
Zhao Qingcheng wore a dark satin robe trimmed with silver hollow hibiscus flowers, and the robe's belt was loosely tied, revealing a strong white chest. He was half-leaning on the step, his eyes slightly closed, remembering that Ye Xizhi had coerced and lured him to drink the bowl of sobering soup this morning, his eyebrows furrowed, and he had a splitting headache. Not only did it have no color and fragrance, but it also had no curative effect, and Zhao Qingcheng cursed Ye Xizhi in his heart.
Li didn't hesitate to knock on the door of the study for a long time, but there was no response and he pushed the door directly in. Seeing Zhao Qingcheng with his eyes closed, thinking that he was asleep, he silently put down the tray, walked behind him lightly, and stretched out his hand······
Zhao Qingcheng sat up suddenly, his hands firmly clasped Li Weixi's outstretched hand, his eyes were cold, staring at Li Weixi deadly. In fact, Zhao Qingcheng knew that she was coming from the moment she entered the door, and thought that she would leave if she ignored her, but she didn't expect that not only did she not leave, but she also looked sneaky.
Li was taken aback by Zhao Qingcheng's sudden move, but still remained calm, "Lord Wang, what does this mean?" ”
Zhao Qingcheng's cold eyes seemed to tell everything, and a trace of disappointment flashed in Li Weixi's eyes.
Li Weixi's disappointment flashed in his eyes just now did not escape Zhao Qingcheng's eyes, and he was a little moved in his heart. Seeing that Li Weixi's slender wrist was slightly reddened, he let go of her. "It's an instinctive reaction! This king does not like to be close to people, so don't do it in the future. "This king is afraid of hurting you." Zhao Qingcheng did not say the latter sentence.
Li didn't hesitate to smile lightly, and turned around to bring a bowl of light yellow liquid. "Drink! Decanting. The premise is that the prince is not afraid of me poisoning. "What happened just now still made her mind.
Zhao Qing took over and took a look, this decanting soup was warm in color, fragrant in smell, and slightly viscous. He scooped up a spoonful and put it in his mouth, the sweet taste stimulated his taste buds, he drank another spoonful, and immediately felt that his stomach warmed up, and even his internal organs were much more comfortable. Compared to Ye Xizhi's decanting soup, he didn't know how many million times better, and he quickly finished drinking it.
"This is the decanting soup you made?" Zhao Qingcheng handed her the empty bowl.
"Hmm." Li did not hesitate to take the empty bowl and put it on the tray. Turning around and coming behind him again, "I'm going to massage the prince's head now, so that you will be more comfortable." ”
This time she informed him in advance, so that he would not have any overreaction. Seeing Zhao Qingcheng nodding, Li did not hesitate to reach out and press it lightly on his Baihui acupoint.
Li Weixi's technique was both skillful and gentle, and Zhao Qingcheng felt that his headache was alleviating. Zhao Qingcheng, who was gently squeezed and rubbed by Li Wei's fat-like fingers, unconsciously stretched his brows, and smiled at the corners of his mouth. It turns out that she just wanted to massage herself!
After a while, Li did not hesitate to find that Zhao Qingcheng was actually asleep! She slowly stopped what she was doing, gently walked out of the study with the tray in her hand, and closed the door.
