Chapter 41: But they were old acquaintances
Shi Yuqi responded with a smile, and he was not afraid that the secret guards in the palace would find out.
After all, at this time, Yu Ji, who played her, has already returned home. Liuxiangju is her territory, and she is naturally not afraid of others to check. If they could really find out, she, the killer herself, wouldn't have to hide her identity.
At the dinner table, Shi Yuqi looked at the large table of dishes in front of him with some emotion. She hadn't forgotten that the cooks in Huayuan Palace's mansion were all retired imperial chefs! It's definitely a good thing to taste!
No one in the palace dared to study new dishes casually, but it was different in Huayuan Palace! King Huayuan loves to eat new tricks! There are many delicacies that she has never tasted! Don't talk about tasting it, some of them haven't even seen it! Don't doubt the taste, if you dare to put it on the table, there will be nothing unpalatable!
Seeing Shi Yuqi's eyes staring directly at the vegetable plate, eager to be born on the vegetable plate, Princess Huayuan was also a little crying and laughing.
King Huayuan smiled: "It's really in response to your father's words, you are really a foodie!" Or your dad was the most prescient. β
Speaking of Shi Ting, the atmosphere was stagnant for a moment, and King Hua Yuan also found that he had chosen the wrong topic, and just wanted to redeem it, but saw Shi Yuqi nodding indifferently, "That's natural!" My dad is the best boy in the world! Shi Yuqi is not shy about talking about her father, the more people remember her father, the more important her father is in people's hearts.
King Hua Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and did not refute the words praising Shi Ting, expressing his understanding of Shi Yuqi's words, every daughter probably felt that her father was the greatest person in the world.
In modern terms, every father is a superman in the eyes of his daughter.
But Gong Chenjiao was not happy, and some little tsundere turned his head not to look at her. What does her father call the best man in the world, he is better than him. At least he can protect Shi Yuqi for a lifetime, while Shi Yuqi's father can only watch from an unknown corner.
Princess Huayuan was sitting opposite Gong Chen, and naturally saw Gong Chen's expression clearly, and couldn't help laughing at the moment. Her son has had a straight face since he was a child, and he is used to being serious. I didn't expect to see such a naΓ―ve side of Gong Chenjiao in my lifetime.
Sensing the princess's playful eyes, Gong Chenjiao coughed a little uncomfortably, and his face was a little flushed. Although it is not obvious, it does not prevent Shi Yuqi next to him from seeing clearly.
Shi Yuqi looked at Gong Chenjiao with a surprised expression, what's wrong with this thing? Coughing up and blushing? It's amazing! But it's normal to think about it, no matter how precocious Gong Chenjiao is, she is also a nineteen-year-old and a half-year-old teenager, and it is normal to make a seemingly rude move in front of her, an outsider, and to be shy.
I have to say that Her Royal Highness the princess still underestimated the face of a certain persimmon. Not to mention that Gong Chenjiao has never treated her as an outsider, judging from Gong Chen's behavior of driving at every turn, this girl is definitely thick-skinned! It seems that someone still doesn't know enough about a certain persimmon.
Princess Huayuan didn't expect her son, who had always been cold-hearted, to suddenly be so innocent (?). couldn't help but smile and speak, "Xiaoxiao, can you still keep the dragon pattern Jue?" Princess Huayuan smiled kindly, but Shi Yuqi had goosebumps inexplicably, and there was always a feeling that she was about to be calculated.
Shi Yuqi was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and held his breath for a while, tried to hold back his face red, and stammered: "Accept it...... Keep it......"
The stuttering is naturally also because of the breathlessness of holding his breath. I was also drunk when I looked at that difficult look.
Princess Huayuan had no martial arts, and she couldn't notice Shi Yuqi's small movements of holding her breath. But King Huayuan and Gong Chenjiao are both old foxes, and they are naturally clear about Shi Yuqi's little tricks.
King Huayuan couldn't cry or laugh, this girl's face was so thick, she had to hold her breath if she wanted to blush!
Gong Chenjiao is depressed, and he is so unattractive? It's so hard to want her to blush for herself! However, it is really not easy to make Shi Yuqi, a "pure girl" who can listen to and speak meat jokes, blush. At least, the current palace dust can't do it. Unless Gong Chenjiao dares to play the essence of an old driver to Shi Yuqi, it can only be that your domineering president has gone offline.
"It's good to keep it, it seems that Jiao'er is also destined for you, otherwise I wouldn't have fallen in love with you early." Princess Huayuan said it clearly, as if there was really such a thing. But can a gift from a five-year-old child and a one-year-old child really be a token of love? I almost believed it.
Shi Yuqi could only pretend to laugh shyly, and she didn't know how to react otherwise. Gong Chenjiao has a fate with her? Hehe, that must be a bad fate. Maybe Shi Yuqi owed too much to Gong Chenjiao in his previous life, and this generation of * Chenjiao came to collect debts.
Gong Chenjiao is very satisfied with the assistance of his mother, and it seems that the mother concubine accepts Ah Qi without saying it herself.
Ah Qi has this kind of charm, which makes people involuntarily like her.
"Hey, what are you doing with these novels!" King Huayuan seemed to see Shi Yuqi's embarrassment, and pretended to sneer at Princess Huayuan. Although he is also satisfied with this daughter-in-law, if he is scared away now, Gong Chenjiao will not have to cry to death?
Princess Huayuan retracted, pursed her lips and smiled, "Yes, yes, yes, don't say it, don't say it, eat it!" Princess Huayuan whispered to Shi Yuqi to introduce the new dishes that had not appeared on the table, and then recommended the delicious dishes with both color and flavor.
Yu Qi didn't know what it tasted like during this meal, the taste of the meal was very good, but Princess Huayuan's enthusiasm made her a little confused. was obviously an acting that Gong Chenjiao had agreed to, but he was taken seriously by his parents. Shi Yuqi didn't know whether to be happy that her mother-in-law wouldn't make things difficult for her in the future, or whether she should be distressed that things were out of her control.
No matter what Shi Yuqi thought, the news that the princess of the protectorate shared a name with the royal family was spread, and it once became a big talk in the capital. Shi Yuqi is the first non-royal orthodox princess in history to share the name with the future new monarch! can't tell whether the emperor favors or kills her.
Shi Ruoyan hated itchy, but he didn't dare to make any moves. Now Shi Yuqi is in the limelight, and she can't afford to provoke it. She was grounded for several months because of Shi Yuqi, but when she came out, she found that she couldn't afford to mess with Shi Yuqi! Shi Ruoyan's inner depression is really not a little bit.
Before the state banquet of the five countries kicked off, the envoys of the five countries came one after another in advance, and they didn't know what their intentions were.
Shi Yuqi, as the only seedling of the Shi family, has to follow the entertainment. I don't know if it's an illusion or what, Shi Yuqi always feels that he is about to become a scenic spot, and everyone wants to see it. The daughter of the god of war sounds very funny, but all countries should just want to see Shi Yuqi's jokes. An orphan girl with no father or mother, who is involved in the battle for succession, will not live long. Everyone wants to see what this little princess will become.
I don't know why they are so curious. However, they are destined to be disappointed, because Shi Yuqi is even better than the orthodox princess.
However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of that domain country personally sent a post invitation, which was a bit surprising.
The country of the domain is larger than the country of China, and His Royal Highness the Prince of the country of the country personally posted to invite her to drink tea, although I always feel a little strange, and the obvious person who came is not good, but the refusal seems to be a little unkind, well, it seems that I still don't know what to do. Based on these, Shi Yuqi decided to take a look, no matter whether the other party was friend or foe, she always had to figure it out first.
"Princess, what does this His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mean? Mysterious, I heard that this prince had been ill for 20 years before, and he only recovered last year. Although this prince is valued by the Emperor of the Domain, he is frail and sickly after all, so he has no sense of existence. It stands to reason that I don't know you, so why do I suddenly want to invite you to tea now? Youlan thought back to all the information about the prince, but in the end she found that she didn't know anything about the name and life.
These news are all handled by Yu Ji, and Yu Ji naturally knows some of them, and she is suspicious. "Princess, I'm afraid that the person who comes is not good!"
"Afraid of what? This is the capital of Huaguo, although it is not my territory, but it will not let a foreign prince press and fight, right? Shi Yuqi's eyes flashed with a mysterious light.
It's best not to mess with her this prince of the domain country, otherwise, she will make him understand why the flowers are blooming so red!
Fengtian Teahouse is the most famous teahouse in the capital, with high quality and high price, in short, it is not affordable for ordinary people.
In the words of Shi Yuqi, the minimum consumption of this kind of high-end club is counted in 1,000 taels of silver.
There are all kinds of bonsai around the teahouse, rich bamboo, welcome pine, there is everything, and there is a beckoning cat on the counter.
The surrounding beams and pillars are engraved with the characteristics and history of the teahouse, as well as exquisite carvings, lifelike flowers, birds, fish and insects......
Ignoring the surrounding furnishings, Shi Yuqi walked upstairs with Youlan Path.
Xiao Er, who was leading the way in front, smiled, "Princess upstairs, please!" β
Shi Yuqi gave Youlan a look, Youlan understood, and threw over ten taels of silver, "I've rewarded you!" β
"Thank you, princess! Thank you, girl! Xiao Ermei led upstairs with a smile and opened the most elegant door, "Princess, please!" "Ten taels of silver! His monthly money is only two taels of silver!
Behind the layers of beaded curtains, there was a man in a blue robe, and behind him stood a black-clothed guard, and a rising mist came out of the teapot in front of the blue-robed man.
She didn't expect that His Royal Highness the foreign crown prince would come and wait for her in advance.
"It's too late to protect the country, don't mind His Royal Highness the Prince." I couldn't see the man's face clearly, but I could vaguely distinguish the facial features. But as soon as Shi Yuqi entered the door, he rejected and resisted from his heart.
"It's okay, the palace has just arrived." The man stood up, a smile tugging at his lips.
Youlan stepped forward and lifted the curtain, and Shi Yuqi saw the person's appearance clearly at a glance, and was shocked.
"I've seen the Prince of the East." Shi Yuqi suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, but the hand under his sleeve couldn't help but clench into a fist. Compound surname Dongfang! She should have thought of it a long time ago!
Dongfang Shuo nodded, bent down slightly and returned the salute, "Xiaoqi, long time no see." β
