Chapter 343: You Make the Choice
Shangguan Li explained lightly.
"Tea is the same, the difference should be the way of ordering tea."
"Oh?"
Feng Sibei saw that Shangguan Li seemed to have the desire to chat with him, and he was also interested.
"In this way, there is still a master of tea in the county lord's mansion? The pine needle gel tastes much better than what I usually drink. ”
Shangguan Li shook his head.
"If Your Highness wants to drink it, you can ask the people of the Thirteen Incense to order it for you. It's not much to everyone. ”
Feng Sibei rolled his eyes and said leisurely.
"This king sees that there are no subordinates in the county lord's mansion, and even the common girl doesn't seem to be there today, could it be that this tea was ordered by the county lord himself?"
Shangguan Li was silent.
"Since the county lord doesn't speak, this king will take it as a tacit acquiescence."
He smiled and squinted, as if he had found some kind of fun.
"There are still a few cakes of tea in this palace, which can be regarded as Tianxiang tea that can be compared to thirteen incense, if the county lord doesn't mind......"
"Knock knock—"
There was a knock on the door, interrupting Feng Sibei's words.
His eyes sank, but he quickly disguised it.
"Come in."
It was Xitu who walked in, and she first saluted Feng Sibei before speaking.
"County Lord, the eldest prince is here."
Shangguan Li raised his eyebrows.
"So fast, okay, let him wait a while, I'll go right away."
After Xitu left, Feng Sibei also knew that it was pointless for him to stay any longer. Although he was unwilling, he still stood up and said.
"Then the king is waiting for the good news of the county lord, and I hope that next time I can drink the tea made by the county lord himself."
Shangguan Li nodded his chin, and finally showed his first smile since he entered the door, driving the corners of his eyes to tilt up slightly, and his eyes instantly became smart, as if he could suck people in.
"If you have the chance, Your Highness will walk slowly."
After Feng Sibei left, Shangguan Li breathed a sigh of relief, he really had to have strong self-control to resist not punching him in the face.
"Third sister!"
Shangguan Bu's unique loud voice echoed in the courtyard.
There's a problem with that.
Shangguan Li sighed, feeling that he was really working hard.
When she walked into the courtyard, she saw Xitu and Shangguan Bu facing her vegetable garden, especially Xitu, whose saliva was about to flow out.
Seeing Shangguan Li walking over, Xitu consciously put away his salivating expression and retreated first.
Shangguan Bu doesn't know what he's been busy with these days, but seeing that his outfit is getting closer and closer to the low-key and luxurious route, Shangguan Li guesses that his small shop business should be good.
"It's strange."
He was amazed when he saw him.
"Third sister, you actually took the initiative to find me? I didn't even take a bite of the food in front of me before I came over, and said, what's the matter? ”
"There's one thing I think you should know."
The playful expression on Shangguan Bu's face narrowed a little, and he could see that Shangguan Li was going to talk about business next.
"What's wrong?"
"You know how I was disfigured, right?"
Shangguan Bu was stunned, of course he knew about this. At that time, in the Prime Minister's Mansion, the three of them had already talked about the matter, but the forces in it were really complicated, so it was not over.
His eyes lit up.
"Could it be that the third sister caught Zhang Yuanniang's handle? That's a good thing. ”
Shangguan Li nodded.
"Sort of, besides, my face has been healed."
With that, she took off the veil from her face.
Shangguan looked at Shangguan Li's face for a while, and let out a "huh".
"Really, it's much better than before."
Shangguan Li: "......"
That's it?
Although she doesn't pay so much attention to appearance, this face should be considered a beauty, isn't Shangguan Bu a little too calm?
"Ahh
Shangguan Bu clapped his palms as if he had finally reacted, and his eyes were shining.
"I have to let the eldest sister know the good news as soon as possible, and she must be very happy. In this way, I guess you will be able to scold me less in the letter! ”
Shangguan Li understood, in his eyes, it seemed that a "big sister" had occupied all his aesthetics.
She couldn't help but smile.
"Hmm, but what are you talking about, third sister?"
He finally remembered it.
"It's not a big deal, it's just that I'm going to use this matter to attack the Prime Minister's Mansion, so I'll tell you in advance."
"Oh, I see...... Yes? ”
Shangguan Bu's long and sluggish reflex arc finally caught up with the situation, and he looked at Shangguan Li blankly, as if he didn't know what she was talking about.
"Third sister, you ......"
Shangguan Li put away the smile on the corner of his mouth and looked at him quietly.
After a long time, Shangguan Bu came to his senses.
To be honest, he didn't think Shangguan Li's approach was wrong, if he was in her situation, he wouldn't have any pity for this kind of family that had been hurting him.
But as far as he is concerned, the Prime Minister's Mansion is his home, and the Prime Minister, who has nothing to look at others, can be described as well-intentioned to him.
Although he hoped that he would become a talent, he never persecuted him.
The reason why he agreed to secretly help the third sister with the eldest sister was because of the eldest sister's request, and a large part of the reason was because of his guilt towards Shangguan Li.
Even if he knew that his father was not good to the third sister, he couldn't really hate him.
In the past, he had secretly thought about what he would do if Shangguan Li really had to deal with the Prime Minister's Mansion one day?
The result, of course, was inconclusive, and he subconsciously avoided the problem.
But I didn't expect this day to come so soon.
And he now understands the reason why Shangguan Li came to him, in order to give him a choice, the choice of which side to stand on.
He hesitated in place, anxious and frightened, and hurried himself like an ant on a hot pot. He also glanced up at Shangguan Li from time to time, as if he hoped that she could give him some more information to help him make a choice.
But Shangguan Li didn't say a word, just sat quietly and began to make tea in the small pavilion. Make it clear that he should choose for himself.
At a certain moment, Shangguan Bu almost had a grudge against her hard-hearted heart, why do I have to choose one between my relatives?
But soon, he swallowed his thoughts again.
This is the cause and effect that was planted ten years ago, and it is too late for him or Shangguan Li to change it.
He hesitated for a full hour.
During this period, Shangguan Li drank two pots of tea and ate a box of pastries, although she did not forget Shangguan Bu's share, but he was not in the mood to eat and drink at all now.
When the sun above her head began to tilt to the west, Shangguan Bu bit a lip that had turned white, and looked up at her with some difficulty.
"Third sister, I will stand on my father's side."
Shangguan Li's hand threw grapes into his mouth.
