Chapter 16: Coaxing Women
The sun was just right, and His Royal Highness King Mu, who was well-dressed and graceful, walked around in front of Luoli Gate with a food box, took a deep breath as if he had made some major decision, pushed open the door and walked in.
Steward Li stood outside the Orchid Garden, looking in from time to time, thinking to himself that he had bumpered with evil today? Not only him, just outside the kitchen, the moment King Mu appeared, the people in the mansion were stunned, the dignified prince actually came to the kitchen in person, and still came to serve food!
In order to show his sincerity, Qi Muxiao decided to commit himself to doing it himself.
He still reverberated in his mind Qi Tongtong's sentence "to put down your body".
Qi Muxiao put the food box on the table, glanced at the gauze tent hanging down in the inner room, and couldn't see the people inside at all.
He coughed.
There was silence.
"This king heard that you haven't eaten for a few days, are you unwell, do you need this king to find a doctor to show you?"
“......”
Luo Li ignored him, she was lying on the bed with Erlang's legs crossed and her eyes closed, it had been five days, and she had never eaten anything other than drinking water and eating some snacks that Pei Ying sent at night. Now, in order to maintain her strength, except for letting Yuan Qin wait for washing in the morning, she has been lying on the bed at other times without moving.
Speaking of Pei Ying's food for her, it really made her unbelievable.
Late at night on the second day of the hunger strike, Luo Li slept lightly and noticed that someone was outside, so she quickly sat up against the wall. It was Pei Ying who came, pushed open the window and jumped into the room, and threw her a small bag of snacks.
"Buy it outside, eat less, otherwise let the prince see it, and your trick will be useless." ”
After saying that, he jumped out immediately, and did not forget to close the window, as if no one had been here at all.
Intuition told Luo Li that Pei Ying did this behind Qi Muxiao's back, although she didn't understand why Pei Ying would help her, but she didn't plan to refuse, after all, she didn't eat anything for a day, she was really hungry.
For a few days after that, Pei Ying would bring her something to eat around noon.
In fact, Yuan Qin also secretly came to deliver meals at night, but she didn't take it. She was afraid that Qi Muxiao arranged it, after all, she made up her mind to go on a hunger strike, just to negotiate conditions with Qi Muxiao, if she couldn't hold back and fell into the trap of this sick man again, it would be a great loss. Even if it wasn't arranged by Qi Muxiao, these meals came out of the kitchen, and if the kitchen ate less every day, it would inevitably reach Steward Li's ears, and Qi Muxiao would also know about it.
Luo Li listened to Qi Muxiao's words just now, and the fire that had been extinguished in the past few days rose again.
"Are you faint from hunger? If you don't speak, the king will come in. ”
"If the prince is still thinking about Qi Luoli, please go back. Luo Li gritted his teeth and replied.
It seems that this girl has not starved to death, and she is quite confident in speaking.
"There is something wrong with this king, I have already brought you some food myself, get up and eat some quickly. ”
"Oh, bring it personally, I can't imagine that His Royal Highness King Mu, who is high above, will personally do something for the little girl. The little girl should ask the prince well, the prince promised to protect the little girl thoroughly, but the little girl was poisoned in full view of everyone that day. The prince asked Luo Li to do things for the prince, but the prince was calculating everywhere to test the little girl. I hope that the prince will give the little girl a ...... for these things."
Before Luo Li finished speaking, Qi Muxiao opened the gauze curtain, and his eyes fell on Luo Li, who was crossing Erlang's legs.
I haven't seen him for a few days, and I've lost a lot of weight.
"You...... Why did you come in!" Luo Li was wearing a thin and cool middle coat, and the moment he saw Qi Muxiao, he subconsciously protected his chest.
Qi Muxiao glanced at her disdainfully, pulled off the coat on the hanger and threw it to Luo Li, and turned around himself.
"Do you wear it yourself, or does this king wear it for you?"
“......”
There was a sound of fabric rubbing behind him, and a smile slowly crawled in Qi Muxiao's eyes.
"Womanizer......" Lori muttered.
"Are you alright?"
"No, no, you are not allowed to turn back!" Luo Li sped up. "Alright. ”
"Ahh
As if waiting for her words, the moment she heard her say it, Qi Muxiao pulled up her sleeve and pulled it out, and with this pull, Luo Li's clothes almost fell off, so she had to go out with him.
"Lord, do you know what it means for men and women to give and not kiss!" Luo Li said angrily.
"This king hasn't touched you. With that, he sat down and was about to pour himself a cup of tea, but found that the tea was cold.
"This tea is cold, I don't know how to change it. Qi Muxiao scolded.
The maid waiting outside the door was so frightened that she quickly knelt down when she heard this, bowing her head and not daring to speak.
"Lord Wang, Luo Li just likes to drink this cold tea, if you don't like it, you can go back to Lin Fengxuan to drink hot tea. ”
"You sit down. ”
“......”
"You don't sit down, do you want this king to feed you?" Qi Muxiao suddenly raised his cheeks and looked at her with a look of affection.
Luo Li shook, goosebumps instantly rose, and he felt that Qi Muxiao could really do this.
Yuan Qin walked in with the teapot where the tea had been brewed, and happened to hear such a sentence, and the tea almost spilled.
"No, I don't have to eat it myself. How dare you bother the prince?" Luo Li hurriedly sat down and picked up chopsticks, picked up some dishes and stuffed them into his mouth.
Yuan Qin saw that Luo Li had finally started to eat, and his hanging heart was relieved. After putting down the teapot, I went out with interest.
Qi Muxiao sat next to him, poured himself a cup of tea, and tasted it slowly. Luo Li sat aside, drinking white porridge, glancing at him from time to time, she felt weird, but it was not easy to say anything, so she could only bury her head and eat violently, and after a while, Luo Li drank the porridge.
Qi Muxiao was still tasting his cup of tea, staring thoughtfully at the bluegrass on the teacup, which was painted vigorously and brightly, and it looked like high-quality porcelain.
His Qi Muxiao's things have always been the best.
This is true for using things, and even more so for employing people.
Yesterday, Pei Ying told him about the girl she could find, and what Luo Li said that day was not half a lie, just about her master, Qi Muxiao didn't know how much she was hiding, but from the past few days of contact, her practice, the pill she mentioned in her mouth, the northern border, this information had already been threaded into a line and pointed out the answer.
"Ahem. Luo Li coughed suddenly.
Qi Muxiao came back to his senses, saw her windswept appearance, and said: "Eat slowly, no one will rob you, let outsiders see it, and think that my Muwang Mansion can't afford to raise a guest." ”
“......”
This Qi Muxiao can really make people angry when he speaks, did he learn the skills of these bastards on the coast of the East China Sea?
Luo Li wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said, "I'm full." ”
Qi Muxiao has always been a heavy salute, and Luo Li's action pierced Qi Muxiao's nerve. He couldn't bear it, not wanting to spoil the slightly easing situation. He scratched the rim of the cup with his fingers, intentionally or unintentionally, and continued to talk about his business: "Okay, this king will talk about it first. That day, you asked you to paint Yao Xiang, not to test your painting skills. Yao Xiang wants to arrange someone to be by the king's side, I believe you can see it. ”
Luo Li pursed her lips and listened silently, silently.
He continued: "This king deliberately asked you to paint in public that day, just to gag my grandfather's mouth. But......" he paused, "I didn't expect that my grandfather would give you the Divine Soul Grass in front of everyone's eyes. He is the grandfather of this king, and this king apologizes to you on his behalf. ”
Luo Li looked at Qi Muxiao with some surprise, but he didn't expect that the person in front of him could put down the shelf and talk to her calmly.
Qi Muxiao looked at Luo Li seriously and continued: "As for the matter of King Rui, this king can see that you and him are old acquaintances, and this king wants to know." ”
Luo Li was taken aback, in fact, even if Qi Muxiao didn't ask, she planned to tell him the truth.
"King Rui once had a favor with the Luo family, but he was in a hurry and failed to thank King Rui. But now he doesn't know me, and there's no more. Luo Li said briefly, not intending to give it all out.
Qi Muxiao hesitated for a moment and said, "You must know that as a prince, there are many things that you can't help yourself, if you ...... one day in the future."
"The prince can rest assured, if the prince and the Rui king stand in opposing positions in the future, Luo Li will not be on the side of any of you. ”
Qi Muxiao was silent and thought for a moment what Luo Li said. Pei Ying couldn't find out about her and King Rui, and now that Luo Li said it calmly, although he didn't believe it all, he didn't feel anything wrong.
In fact, he didn't need Luo Li to be as loyal as Pei Ying and Pei Huan, he just needed someone who was not used by anyone to help him investigate the secrets of the year.
The relationship is too complex, but it will affect the judgment of the outcome of the matter.
So far, he has been very satisfied with the thoughtfulness, observation and flexibility that Luo Li has shown, the only downside is that this person is difficult to control, but she is indeed the best candidate.
Qi Muxiao thought about it and said slowly: "This king doesn't want to be controlled by his grandfather...... In the future, this king will not let you oppose anyone, you can rest assured that you can do your duty. What this king wants you to do, it may be related to the royal family, but it will not let you go toe-to-toe with any of them. ”
Luo Li didn't expect Qi Muxiao to follow her words, but Qi Muxiao's words, Luo Li just listened to them, and didn't oppose anyone? Before the establishment of the prince, all the princes took such a lot of trouble to expand their connections, what else could they do?
Luo Li's heart is like a mirror, "The little girl knows that she has committed the crime of bullying the king, and this crime was covered up by the prince, since what the prince asks for is not too much, the little girl will definitely do her best, but the little girl now has two requirements." ”
"You say. ”
"First, the prince should no longer threaten me with the affairs of Little Anu, and the little girl should visit him regularly. ”
Qi Muxiao nodded, "What about the second condition?"
"The prince doesn't like to be controlled by others, and so does the little girl, no matter what the little girl says, she can be regarded as the prince's guest, isn't it? ”
"When did this king disrespect you?" Qi Muxiao asked rhetorically.
"On the day of Yao Xiang's birthday, why didn't the prince let me have breakfast?" Luo Li felt aggrieved when he thought of that day, and couldn't help but pout.
"You were in a hurry that day, and if you finish breakfast, it will be too late. Besides, didn't this king ask you for food later?" Qi Muxiao was a little wronged in this matter, he really didn't say anything about it.
Luo Li fainted, just because of this?
I was really angry for a little dispensable reason.
"Haha. ”
"Huh?" Qi Muxiao looked at the woman in front of him and felt that the woman's heart was really unfathomable.
"Nothing, nothing. Luo Li waved his hand slightly.
Qi Muxiao didn't think so, he was in a good mood, not only solved the hunger strike crisis this time, but most importantly, he felt that he had made progress in what he was not good at.
It seems that dealing with a woman is indeed different from what he thought before, you enter her and she also enters, instead of-for-tat, it is better to take a step back, the sea and the sky.
Qi Muxiao couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart - Xiao Eleven, this kid, really has a way of dealing with women.
"Ahem...... There is one more thing......" Qi Muxiao said with an embarrassed face: "Xiaoyun is also angry with me, because she came to beg me about your hunger strike...... As a result, I was reprimanded...... You see......"
"Ah, the prince's sister-in-law, the prince will coax it himself. Lori tilted his head away from him.
Qi Muxiao was not in a hurry, his fingers tapped lightly on the table, looked at Luo Li's eyes and smiled, "Oh yes, this king also said that if you help this king coax it, take the two of you to Mengxiao Tower tonight." ”
"Mengxiao Tower??" Luo Li immediately turned his head when he heard these three words, staring at Qi Muxiao with burning eyes.
"Hmm. Qi Muxiao was full of smiles.
"The prince wants to talk and count, I'll go to Xiaoyun, the prince is waiting for my good news." After saying that, Luo Li ran away with a smoke.
"Sure enough, we still have to prescribe the right medicine......" Qi Muxiao looked at Luo Li's distant back, and his smile became a little stronger.
