Chapter Twenty-Three: The Maid Enters the House

Liu Yi said goodbye to Li Xian with some shocking feelings. Liu Yi left first, and when he was far away from the restaurant, Li Xian had not come out yet, and he was still staying in the restaurant.

Liu Yi originally wanted to send a few of his subordinates to lurk nearby and follow Li Xian's movements, but thinking that these subordinates around him had just taught them some agent skills, and the methods were still relatively crude and inferior, in case they were discovered by Li Xian's people, it would not be fun.

After Liu Yi came out of the restaurant, he took people to walk around the street a few times before returning home.

After Liu Yi was ready to return home, he thought about what Li Xian said to him today, and figured out what he meant by being the prince of the dynasty.

As soon as the group returned to the house, the housekeeper came over and said that the housekeeper Zhang asked him to go over after returning to the house.

Liu Yi asked the guards to disperse, and he immediately went to his mother's room.

Zhang and Liu Mai were talking in the house, and when they saw Liu Yi coming in, they immediately stopped talking.

"Mother, big brother!" Liu Yi stepped forward and saluted, pretending to be curious, "Mother, the child just came back from outside, I heard that my mother was looking for me for something, and I came over immediately, I didn't expect the eldest brother to be here!"

Liu Yi wanted to know what his mother and eldest brother were discussing.

"San Lang," Zhang beckoned Liu Yi to come to her side, "Just a moment ago, Princess Taiping sent someone to pass the news, and she said that she personally sent a few maids to the mansion and asked you to wait in the mansion!"

"Oh?!" Liu Yi replied casually, why does this kind of thing often happen when he is not in the house? Last time he was not in the house, Pei Xingjian sent someone to pass it on, and when Li Xian sent someone to call him, he went out of the house again, and now Princess Taiping sent someone to inform him of the matter, and he was outside again, could it be that these people came to call when he was not in the house?

"Third brother, presumably Princess Taiping also came over, but I don't know if she came as a princess, or did she come secretly and privately like last time?" Liu Mai followed his mother's words and asked Liu Yidao.

Princess Taiping came privately, there was no need to prepare anything in the house, if Princess Taiping came with great fanfare and came as a princess, then a large number of cars came, and the palace must prepare to welcome the arrival of the first princess of the dynasty, otherwise it would be rude.

"I don't know about this either!" Liu Yi shook his head and thought for a while: "Mother, eldest brother, I think she must have come here in private like last time, she shouldn't dare to be too vocal about this matter, otherwise there will definitely be something in the palace to order us to receive it!"

According to Liu Yi's understanding of Princess Taiping, such an unsightly thing should not make a big posture, although it is said that this demon girl is not afraid of heaven and earth, but now she has no name with herself, and she always has to take care of her face, not to mention that she is afraid of scolding herself.

Liu Yi was also scolding this woman in his heart, and he didn't explain the situation when he sent someone over, which made his own people worry about it.

"What I said is also reasonable, my mother is afraid of an accident!" Zhang said, "My mother has sent someone to clean up your small garden today, and a few of them have a place to live, and these people have let them live in your small courtyard, and other people can't go to your house without special circumstances, so they can save some things they don't want to see..."

"Mother, let's talk about it when they come over, the child will take care of it!" Liu Yi comforted her mother, who was a little worried.

"Okay, since you said so, my mother won't say much, let's go rest early!" Zhang asked the two brothers to step down.

Liu Yi and Liu Mai talked some gossip, and they also went back to their rooms-

Early the next morning, when Liu Yi was still leading the guards to practice martial arts, the housekeeper Li Nian came to report that Princess Taiping and her party had come.

Although the sky was bright, Liu Yi had just heard the opening drum for a while, and the training of the guards was only halfway through, and it was still very early, this demon girl really took stimulants, and came over so early in the morning?

Liu Yi had no choice but to ask the guards to suspend training, and he went out with Li Nian.

It was too late to change clothes, and Liu Yi only wore a shirt outside.

Mother Zhang had already gone out when she heard the movement, and was accompanying Princess Taiping, who was full of joy on her face, into the house.

Today's Princess Taiping is really as Liu Yi guessed, she didn't pose as a princess, but she was still the same as last time, disguised as a man, and a carriage brought six maids, including Xiaoyun, over.

"Mother, you go and get busy, the child will come to receive this matter!" Princess Taiping came so early, and her mother Zhang was also caught off guard, a little flustered, Liu Yi was ready to separate her mother and deal with this matter by herself, "Mother will come to the children's room again in a while to tell things!"

Liu Yi wanted to tell the few people sent by Princess Taiping about something, of course, the most important thing was to warn, give them a dismount, and establish a majesty in front of Princess Taiping, of course, mother and other family members can't be on the side of such a thing.

Zhang may have understood the meaning in Liu Yi's eyes, and immediately said to Princess Taiping: "Princess, the concubine has not yet made up her makeup, so it is really discordant to receive the princess in this way, let the concubine tidy up a little, and come back to talk to the princess later!"

Princess Taiping also wished that the Zhang family was not on the side, and when she heard her say this, she immediately bowed and agreed: "Aunt will go and be busy with her own business, and she will come back to greet you in a while!"

When Zhang left, Princess Taiping and her maids followed Liu Yi to the courtyard where he lived, and no other people from the palace followed.

Princess Taiping saw that there was no one else on the side, quickly followed Liu Yi, and said softly: "Yi'an, today I brought back a painting and a few words, you will hang it in your room in a while!"

"Then let's enjoy the princess's masterpiece first!" Liu Yi said with a smile, he had already seen the maids who came with Princess Taiping holding several framed calligraphy and paintings in their hands, and it was not surprising to hear her say this.

"It's because I want to make a good picture for you, so I delayed it for a while, otherwise I would have let them come over a long time ago!" Princess Taiping said with some pity, "San Lang, let's talk about it first, no matter how well I do it, you can't dislike it!"

"Given by the princess, how dare I dislike it!" Liu Yi glanced at Princess Taiping who was looking at him, presumably the painting made by this demon girl was not too satisfied, I was afraid that it would not be as good as Shangguan Wan'er's work, so I vaccinated myself first.

Painting is about artistic conception and conception, Princess Taiping made it in a hurry in a few days, and with a hint of negative energy, the quality of the painting, there will always be some influence.

"You can't say bad anyway!" Princess Taiping muttered, not understanding the meaning of Liu Yi's words just now.

The group soon came to the upper courtyard where Liu Yi lived, and followed Liu Yi into the house.

Several maids holding the scroll of calligraphy and painting put these things on the table, and then stepped aside, standing with their heads bowed and their hands tied, and the two personal maids of Princess Taiping, Xiaoyun and Ping'er, stood slightly in front.

Today, Xiaoyun and Ping'er's outfits are different, Ping'er is like a princess of Taiping, dressed as a man in a green coat and a small hat, Xiaoyun who wants to stay in the house to serve Liu Yi is dressed as a woman, and the other four maids are also dressed in women's clothes.

Xiaoyun and Ping'er look very good, and the other maids are also very thoughtful, and they are not bad in temperament, Liu Yi also knows that those maids in the palace are not ordinary people, many of them are the children of officials who have committed crimes, and they have been filled into the Yeting Palace, and then some people will be selected to do things, such as Shangguan Wan'er, some people who are slightly inferior may be arranged to serve the princess or others.

Princess Taiping took out the largest shaft from the calligraphy and painting shaft on the case, spread it out on the case, into Liu Yi's eyes, is a picture of spring frolic, a peach woodland in the painting, the peach blossoms are blooming brilliantly, the tree is full of falling Ying, there are some willows flying in the distance, look at the scene or the spring morning scenery after the rain, a man and a woman are standing opposite each other, stepping on the peach petals all over the ground, pointing to the peach blossoms all over the tree and saying something, the faces of the two are vaguely arguable, the man is Liu Yi's appearance, the painting is quite expressive, The woman's face is pretty and cute, which is exactly what Princess Taiping looks like.

What a pleasing spring painting, Liu Yi admired in his heart, this demon girl really has a hand, and the painting is really not bad, it can be called everyone's brush, anyway, he can't draw it.

"What a spring painting," Liu Yi looked at Princess Taiping, who was waiting for him to comment with a nervous expression, and said: "The painting made by the princess is really not ordinary, and I am very grateful and honored to have such a good painting from the princess!" Liu Yi said and saluted.

"Saburo, do you really think this painting is good?" Princess Taiping asked in surprise.

"Yes!" Liu Yi nodded vigorously.

"Do you like it or not?" Princess Taiping tilted her head and said.

"Of course I do!" Liu Yi smiled and nodded again.

Hearing Liu Yi say this, Princess Taiping breathed a sigh of relief, "If you like me, don't worry..."

The joyful Princess Taiping rushed to Liu Yi and looked up at Liu Yi, "San Lang, you can also title a poem for this painting, just that poem "Spring Dawn"!"

"Good!" Liu Yi didn't refuse, he pulled his sleeves and prepared to write.

Princess Taiping Nunuzui, Xiaoyun walked up quickly and sharpened the ink for Liu Yi.

Liu Yi looked at Xiao Yun, who had a flush on his face, and a pair of delicate hands were grinding ink, it turned out that Princess Taiping's maid technique was quite professional, she should have done this kind of thing many times, look at Princess Taiping's calligraphy and painting is so good, the maids around her should definitely do this often, Liu Yi thought that Liu Ben and Liu Quan, the original entourage around him, were far less professional than Xiaoyun when they did this, it seems that women do this far better than men.

Xiaoyun quickly polished the ink, Liu Yi also waved his pen to inscribe poems, under the dragon flying and phoenix dance, the "Spring Dawn" of only about 20 words was written immediately, Liu Yi put down the pen, looked back at Princess Taiping who was watching happily on the side and said: "Princess, my words can only make do, I hope it does not spoil your masterpiece... Hey, hey!"

"How can you say it's bad, I'm just keeping it for you to ask!" Princess Taiping personally moved Liu Yi's painting with a good poem to the side, and her movements were cautious, "With this poem, it is a complete painting!"

"Look at what you've written!" Liu Yi held a scroll of painting scrolls, Princess Taiping only said that she had made a painting, so the rest must be the words of the theme of Taiping...
