Chapter Sixty-Nine: Respect Like Guests

When Li Huai came to Shangguan Keke's courtyard, Caidie was standing behind a cedar tree, she seemed to want to borrow the fluffy branches and leaves of the cedar to hide herself, but she didn't dare to really disappear, and finally painted the ground as a prison.

The nightingale hid behind the doorpost, and dragged a twine with a stick attached to one end, and propped up a basket with some leftovers sprinkled underneath, and though there was not a single bird, she was very careful not to alarm anything.

Other than that, there were no living creatures in the courtyard, except for the occasional north wind blowing, accompanied by the sound of salsa.

It's like a timeless frozen snow painting.

Crunch!

As Li Huai pushed the door in, the silence was broken.

"Meet the prince!"

Nightingales and butterflies came running, and they were about to kneel.

"No need to kneel."

Li Huai greeted and walked straight to Shangguan Keke's room, which was a house in this courtyard.

Shangguan Keke heard the movement outside, knew who it was, and was about to go out to greet him, when he bumped into Li Huai at the door.

"The concubine has seen the prince!"

Li Huai didn't seem to see her, and beckoned, "Come in." ”

"Enter!"

Lou Xiaowan also waved behind him, and eight attendants, each with a plate in his hand, entered the living room and put the dishes and wine on the table.

Then at Li Huai's signal, they all left again.

"Lord Wang, please!"

When Shangguan Keke entered the door, he took off his cloak first and handed it to the nightingale to hang up.

Lou Xiaowan's hand hung in the air, and he resented in his heart, "Obviously I should have come." ”

"I came to see you, and you don't seem surprised." Li Huai seemed to have just seen Shangguan Coco, and talked with a smile.

The dishes were brought by him together, and there was no notice in advance, but Shangguan Keke looked like he was already waiting for him.

It made him curious.

Shangguan Keke smiled, "What's so unexpected about this, the prince can come at any time, or he can't come at any time." ”

There is a little bit of a problem with the wording, but it makes the meaning she wants to express very clear.

Resentment!

The corners of Li Huai's mouth curled a smile, "If I come at night, aren't you surprised?" ”

Shangguan Keke just nodded, "Hmm! ”

She was too calm.

Abnormal.

Li Huai took the lead to the dining table, pulled out a chair, and then looked at Shangguan Keke, she was stunned for a while, and then she understood that this was to let her sit down.

It was like a kind of courtesy, she had never seen it before, and she didn't know it, but it seemed very personable and gentlemanly.

Li Huai sat down next to her.

Lou Xiaowan picked up the wine jug and poured them wine, and the nightingale and Caidie were standing behind Shangguan Coco.

"I heard from this king, you said that the female official of this king is a beautiful vase?" Li Huai took the lead in saying.

Lou Xiaowan's hand shook slightly, and he secretly thought: Lord Wang, this is too direct.

"Isn't it?" Shangguan Coco did not evade.

"Then what do you think a female officer should look like? I mean, what kind of talent does it take to not be a vase? Li Huai asked.

Shangguan Keke thought for a while and said: "Since the female officer is an official, it must be different from the attendant. Because most of the time, women are more attentive than men, so they can deal with some small things. ”

"Can you be specific?" Li Huai then asked.

Shangguan Keke nodded and continued: "Female officials are more like men's virtuous helpers, such as managing accounts, guests, recording what the master has said, arranging the itinerary, and reminding the master of what to do when necessary......"

When Li Huai heard this, he interrupted her and asked rhetorically, "Can't the attendants do this?" Like Nightingale, I think she can do it too. ”

Shangguan Keke was speechless, and simply asked, "Then...... What does the prince think a female official should be? ”

"That's what you should answer me." Li Huaicai didn't take the ball.

Shangguan Keke tilted his head, "The concubine doesn't know." ”

This is a petty temperament.

Li Huai shook his head, "No, you know, and you said it." ”

Shangguan Keke turned his head and asked suspiciously, "What did the concubine say?" ”

"You said that the female official is sharing the worries of the master." Li Huai reminded.

"And then?" Shangguan Keke still didn't understand what he was going to say.

"I ask you, what am I worried about? What worries can female officials help me share? Li Huai asked.

Shangguan Keke shook his head, "I don't know about the concubine." ”

Li Huaiyi waved his hand, "Xiaowan, you tell her." ”

"Yes!"

Lou Xiaowan turned to face Shangguan Keke, as if he was endorsing, and said emotionlessly: "There are many kinds of worries about the prince, and the only thing that the female official can share the worries of the prince is miscellaneous matters, because the prince feels that this is a special waste of time." ”

That's right!

Li Huai hates chores, every day, in addition to eating, sleeping, working, and going to the thatched house, there are many chores.

For example, when Li Huai is very cold but he doesn't know the cold, turn on the charcoal fire, and when the room is very stuffy but Li Huai doesn't feel it, open the window.

These are all necessary, so that Li Huai does not have to be distracted and interrupt his hard-won inspiration.

"These ...... Nightingales, too. Shangguan Keke was still not convinced.

Li Huai shook his head, "Those who know my worries are worried about me, and those who don't know me are more worried." ”

In simple terms.

It must be a confidant in order to do it just right.

Shangguan Keke also heard another meaning, in Li Huai's eyes, Lou Xiaowan is the best female official, and it is useless for her to argue.

"In that case, it's my mistake, I apologize!"

Shangguan Keke lifted the wine glass as if she was angry, and drank it all in one gulp, but her reason and cultivation did not let her put the wine glass on the table heavily, smashing it with a banging sound.

But she did get angry.

Li Huai also lifted a glass of wine, but she didn't drink it herself, she handed it to Lou Xiaowan.

"I'm also at fault, and it's true that I'm not doing very well."

Lou Xiaowan raised his glass and said, drinking a glass of wine.

This is the real difference between a female officer and an attendant, nothing else, just the high status of a female official.

At least one side concubine.

Shangguan Keke only then understood that Li Huaizhen meant to blame her for being dog-eyed......

"Coco, come and eat." Li Huai changed his attitude and served her vegetables diligently, just like when he was in Taiyuan to please her.

This made her unsure.

Next.

Li Huai just eats, pushes the cup and changes the lamp, he keeps picking up the dishes, and Shangguan Coco can only keep eating.

Full!

Three rounds of drinking.

"Nightingale, you go make the bed, I'll sleep here tonight." Li Huai said suddenly.

"Huh?!"

The nightingale was stunned.

"Go ahead."

Shangguan Coco was not surprised.

"Yes!"

The nightingale went to the bedroom with trepidation.

"Xiaowan, you can go back too." Li Huai also sent away the small bowl of Lou.

"Yes!"

Lou Xiaowan bowed, and then left, sure enough, it still needs a cave room, how can it be considered a princess if it is not a cave room.

Eaten.

They went for a walk in the yard again, chatting about some things that they didn't have, purely to eat and pass the time by the way.

Dusk at the time of unitary!

Before going to bed, he had to wash up, Li Huai sent all the attendants and Lou Xiaowan away, and this task fell to Shangguan Coco.

She didn't resist in the slightest.

For this aspect, she is always strangely calm, without the slightest ripple at all.

She didn't look like she had just become Princess Liang.

It seems that he has been with Li Huai for at least seven years, and what shyness, avoidance, and indecency do not exist anymore.

She doesn't care, so I don't care.

Li Huai thought to himself.

Sitting in the tub, enjoying the tenderness of her fingertips, after so long, the wounds on his body have long since healed, leaving only a shallow imprint, which has gradually faded with time.

In the end, he is a teenager, his skin is white and delicate, and there is a mysterious power hidden under the soft light, and his fingertips poke it down, very tough!

This was the only abnormal action of Shangguan Coco in the whole process.

Besides.

Her face doesn't change.

Li Huai put on a bathrobe and came to the bedroom, and after the nightingale and the colorful butterfly made the bed, they left very interestingly.

We'll have to wait a little longer.

Shangguan Coco hasn't been washed yet.

Soon.

Shangguan Keke also put on a yukata and came to the bedroom, and Li Huai admitted that he was distracted for a while.

Then.

The two were lying under the same quilt.

Silence for a long time.

"You...... You really don't need to? Shangguan Keke asked tentatively.

Li Huai was immediately annoyed, how could he let her say it first, but it had already happened, and he could only pretend to be calm.

Shaking his head and asking, "Do you need it?" ”

"Nope."

Shangguan Keke was very calm and said, "I see that you just ...... It seems to be very uncomfortable, so I thought you needed it. ”

Li Huai is about to go crazy, how can she still be so calm!

Thereupon.

Li Huai stretched out his hand and grabbed her, Lao Tzu didn't believe it, and there were ice cubes that didn't melt.

And after that?

……

"I'll help you, you won't be able to sleep." Shangguan Keke said.

Li Huai remembered that when he was in Chang'an, the weird night, and he had an illusion of empathy.

But there is one place that is inexplicable, and it is very different.
