The princess is killing like crazy again

Emperor Xiao has already set a date and allowed Xiao Yurong to lead 50,000 troops to rush to Xuancheng to quell King Wen's rebellion.

Before leaving Yujing, Xiao Yurong had to ensure that there would be no trouble in Yujing.

Originally, Xiao Yurong had no plans to do anything, but the Mirror Department secretly reported that Ning Rou was targeting the manors and shops under her name, and Wang's business was also affected.

For Xiao Yurong and Wang Fuxuan, this was of no concern, but it was also annoying.

Because of Ning Rou, the Shizhong was often at odds with Xiao Yurong in the court, and the Shizhong would also clean up the little tricks Ning Rou did.

After all, the reason why Ning Rou hated her so much was because of the man in front of her. Xiao Yurong looked at Li Yaozhi, who was smiling warmly in front of her.

The Li brothers are both handsome young men, all of them are Xie Tinglanyu.

"Lantian produces jade, a famous family produces a virtuous son, and a noble family produces a talented person." Xiao Yurong sighed, "No wonder Ning Rou doesn't have much in common with you, but is still so obsessed with you."

Li Yaozhi looked kind and harmless, "Why do you say that, Your Highness? The words that Miss Shaoyan and Miss Tongning have said to each other are few and far between. We are strangers."

Xiao Yurong snorted and laughed: "You and I have known each other since we were young, childhood sweethearts. They don't know your true face, so how can I not know what kind of person you are?"

"Your Highness is wise." Li Yaozhi said with a smile.

"Before leaving Beijing, let's not cause any more trouble." Xiao Yurong said, "The Minister still has some brains, let him wake up."

Li Yaozhi smiled and said, "If Your Highness is worried, why not let Shao Yan handle this matter."

Li Yaozhi did his job flawlessly, and Xiao Yurong was very relieved.

So Xiao Yurong handed the matter over to Li Yaozhi.

Facts have proved that Li Yaozhi would not disappoint people. Xiao Yurong didn't know what means he used, but in short, the effect was excellent.

The minister personally visited the princess's residence and swore to Xiao Yurong that he would restrain his wife and not cause any trouble to Xiao Yurong.

"Okay, then I will trust the Minister this time. Please don't let me down." Xiao Yurong's smile did not reach her eyes.

After watching the minister leave, Xiao Yurong leaned on the chaise longue and asked, "How did you make him so obedient?"

"Just like our Xiaoduo, right?" She said to Duxi while lying on the armrest with a smile.

Du Xi was kneeling beside her legs, massaging her calves.

The word "obedient" always seems to be used to describe pets, but Du Xi was not annoyed. Instead, he lowered his eyes docilely.

Li Yaozhi glanced at Du Xi lightly and smiled at Xiao Yurong: "The secrets between clans are nothing but profit and fame. There is always a way to coerce and bribe."

"Although I can't guarantee that they will never cause trouble in their lifetime, at least they will be well behaved before I return to Beijing." Xiao Yurong said approvingly.

She thought for a moment and said, "Conquests always require money. In addition to the money spent from the national treasury, I have to ask Fu Xuan to come up with a solution."

"If Your Highness asks, I will definitely be willing to help." Li Yaozhi said.

"That's not the case. I want him to offer it to me voluntarily and kneel down to beg me for it." Xiao Yurong laughed.

Her transparent, wing-like veil dragged on the ground, and her lips, which had been ate cherries, were stained bright red.

Li Yaozhi smiled and raised his hand to rub her lips. "Your Highness is so mean. Shao Yan really doesn't know what to do."

"Shao Yan, are you going to accuse me of having evil intentions because of this?" Xiao Yurong approached with a smile.

A kiss that was separated in an instant.

Li Yaozhi lowered his eyes, his eyelashes moving slightly, as if he was moved.

Xiao Yurong's smile was as beautiful as a flower, and her lips seemed to be stained with peach petals, gradually becoming a shade of incense-like red, delicate and tempting.

"Shao Yan just hopes that Your Highness will not dislike me." Li Yaozhi said.

When Xiao Yurong and Li Yaozhi were flirting, Du Xi had already walked out of the door quietly and tactfully, and stood outside waiting.

Li Yaozhi had checked Du Xi's background early on and knew that his appearance in front of Xiao Yurong was a real accident, not because of any ulterior motive or arrangement by someone.

Li Yaozhi looked at the reflection of Du Xi on the window pane outside the door, "Your Highness has taken good care of Du Xi, and the prince is also a smart person."

Li Yaozhi has always spoken elegantly, with every word coming from him being precious. He is very good at saying nice and respectful words.

Even the clichés that come out of his mouth sound brilliant and colorful.

If you don't spend a long time with him and don't understand him, you won't be able to hear the hidden meaning of his words.

What he meant was that Du Xi was a good male concubine.

He was afraid that Xiao Yurong would take such good care of Du Xi that Du Xi would lose track of the world and forget that he was a drowning dog that everyone wanted to beat.

But now it seems that Du Xi is very self-aware.

"You don't have to worry about these. Xiaoduo is beautiful, that's enough." Xiao Yurong said casually.

What this means is simply that Duxi is a good-looking drowned dog.

For a dog, the most important thing is that it is beautiful, obedient and loyal.

"Your Highness knows what's going on, so Shao Yan naturally doesn't need to say more." Li Yaozhi nodded.

Xiao Yurong remembered something, took out a zither from the side, and handed it to Li Yaozhi. "Before, you cut your most beloved zither to help me. I feel very sorry. Now I will compensate you with another one."

Li Yaozhi was slightly startled and took the zither from Xiao Yurong's hand.

The body of the zither is black and carved with green bamboo and green dragons. It is a rare treasure no matter how you look at it.

"It is a famous zither from the previous dynasty. I searched for it in my private vault for a long time before I found it." Xiao Yurong smiled, "But the green dragon and green bamboo on it were all carved by me personally."

Li Yaozhi's eyes were soft, and he held the zither in his arms with care, "Your Highness, please love me."

It was as if thousands of flowers bloomed silently. He smiled and said, "With this zither, Shao Yan can play the zither for His Highness."

Xiao Yurong raised her eyebrows, "Then you must cherish it well."

"Of course." Li Yaozhi caressed the body of the zither lovingly, raised his eyes and smiled faintly, "Your Highness, do you want to keep me here today?"

Xiao Yurong raised her hand and stroked the corners of Li Yaozhi's eyes. "Okay, now we can prove the rumors that Young Master Li used his beauty to please others."

Li Yao stopped laughing and said, "Shao Yan is happy with it."

"Is Shao Yan going to take a bath now? Every time she takes a bath, she burns incense. She is even more meticulous than a princess like me." Xiao Yurong teased, supporting her chin.

"Your Highness, please don't make fun of me." Li Yaozhi's ears turned red instantly, and he lowered his eyes and said shyly, "To serve Your Highness, I must be more meticulous."

“Hahahahaha!” Xiao Yurong laughed so hard that she fell on the chaise longue and tilted her head. “Then Shao Yan, go quickly. I’ll wait for you to serve me.”

When Li Yaozhi walked out the door, Du Xi was still standing there guarding.

Seeing Li Yaozhi coming out, Du Xi bowed to him and said, "Sir."

"Yes." Li Yaozhi nodded, still smiling, and exchanged a few pleasantries, "Your Excellency has looked much better recently than before."

Du Xi was timid before. He didn't even dare to breathe when he met the nobles. Apart from his face and the ability to serve others, he could be said to be good for nothing.

He only stayed in Princess Zhaoyang's mansion for a short period of time, but he seemed to have grown a lot, and even his demeanor became extraordinary.

When meeting dignitaries, he knew how to respond appropriately, neither humble nor arrogant, and not to embarrass Xiao Yurong.

Xiao Yurong asked someone to teach Du Xi business management and tactics in order to prepare him for managing Zhuiyue Pavilion.

"Thank you for your good words, sir." Du Xi said.

Li Yaozhi smiled: "You and I work under His Highness, so we can be considered colleagues. In the future, we will help His Highness solve his problems, so we must advance and retreat together."

Du Xi pursed his lips and said, "Du Xi understands."

"Please go ahead, sir. I have something important to do first." Li Yaozhi stretched out his hand to signal, then turned and left.

Du Xi stared at Li Yaozhi's back and clenched his fists.

Even when facing a lover like him, Li Yaozhi remained humble and polite, and never became jealous and out of control.

He was well aware that he had some of Li Yaozhi's shadow, and he felt humbled for it.

Look, a dirty person like him living in the mud can have some similarities with that handsome and noble young man, and thus receive the favor of the bright moon.

However, after seeing Xiao Yurong's painful frown or her cold and arrogant eyes countless times, he realized that he would secretly envy Li Yaozhi, who was able to accompany Xiao Yurong from beginning to end, in the breeze and moonlight.

Everyone in the princess's mansion knows Li Yaozhi, and Li Yaozhi even has a special room here.

After dismissing the servants, Li Yaozhi went into the water to bathe himself.

The air was filled with mist. Li Yaozhi lowered his eyes, sighed softly, and sorted out his thoughts.

Since the prime minister knew about Li Yaozhi's intention, he has mentioned it to him countless times, but each time he tried to persuade him, he failed to change his mind.

Originally, the prime minister wanted Li Yaozhi to marry a noble lady from an aristocratic family, but after knowing Li Yaozhi's intentions, the prime minister began to compromise and wanted Li Yaozhi to marry the princess.

Previously, Emperor Xiao wanted Li Yaozhi, but was avoided. Now it is extremely difficult to marry the princess.

Under the Prime Minister's repeated persuasion, Li Yaozhi replied helplessly: "Father, do you think that the Li family's dangerous place is really suitable for Your Highness? Would Your Highness be willing?"

The prime minister never considered Xiao Yurong's thoughts.

Sometimes, as a member of a long-established aristocratic family, the prime minister is inevitably too conceited.

This is in our bones, and we usually can't detect it ourselves. But Li Yaozhi can feel it.

Li Yaozhi had previously told the prime minister that Xiao Yurong was unwilling, and he did not want to embarrass Xiao Yurong.

Even though he was once full of expectations, he still had to take Xiao Yurong's opinions seriously.

"Father, no one can stop His Highness from doing anything he wants to do," Li Yaozhi said.

After politely declining, Li Yaozhi thought of something as he was seeing the Prime Minister off from his courtyard, "Father, do you know any young men with a clean family background and a gentle temperament? They must be good-looking."

The Prime Minister was confused.

"Your Highness is interested, Yao Zhi wants to help Your Highness find some reliable lovers." Li Yao Zhi said calmly.

He and Xiao Yurong didn't even have any relationship yet, so how could he act like a queen? The prime minister was almost so angry that he fainted.

The prime minister pointed at Li Yaozhi and asked, "Since you like her so much, why are you so generous?"

"As long as Your Highness is happy." Li Yaozhi raised the corners of his lips with a faint smile.

His eyes were full of tenderness, like a spring breeze, "If I really love her, we don't have to be together for life. As long as she is happy, it doesn't matter."

The prime minister's breath got stuck in his throat and he almost couldn't breathe.

Although he was quite tolerant in front of his father, Li Yaozhi was actually a little worried sometimes.

It wasn't that he was worried about having his attention diverted. Li Yaozhi just knew that Xiao Yurong liked the color of jade and always teased him for using his beauty to please others.

After so many times, he couldn't help but wonder, if one day he grows old and loses his looks, will his love fade away as his looks fade?

This was not something Li Yaozhi should have thought about, but he happened to run into Xiao Yurong.

He has received all the extreme resources in his family. Xiao Yurong likes his beauty and meticulousness, his literary talent and military strategy, his intelligence and thoughtfulness, but all these are because of his family.

These are all created by the luxury of porcelain, the crystal of silk, the exquisiteness of dishes, and the moderate nourishment of behavior.

He has all these, but lacks truth and emotion.

Wearing a mask is like walking on thin ice. You have to be cautious at every step and strive to win at every step, and never allow any mistakes.

The family likes his fake, everyone likes it.

Of course there are people who hate it. Sometimes Xiao Yurong just doesn’t like it, but would the real him, Xiao Yurong, like it?

After getting up from the water, Li Yaozhi packed up his things and went to Xiao Yurong's bedroom.

Xiao Yurong waited for a long time. When Li Yaozhi sat on the bed and helped her up, she leaned on Li Yaozhi's shoulder and grumbled a few words in dissatisfaction: "Why is it so slow?"

"Don't be angry, Your Highness. Shao Yan apologizes to Your Highness." Li Yaozhi gently pushed aside Xiao Yurong's black hair that was resting on his shoulder.

He supported Xiao Yurong's slender neck, gently lifted Xiao Yurong's chin with his thumb, and rubbed it, "Your Highness is tired, do you want to rest first? I will guard Your Highness."

"The night is short, why are you sleeping now?" Xiao Yurong hooked her arms around Li Yaozhi's neck with her eyes half closed.

Her fingertips slid down Li Yaozhi's neck a little bit, pointing to Li Yaozhi's heart, "Could it be that you will have sex with me again when you are in the army?"

She laughed: "Don't worry about rumors spreading that you got to your high position by being my nepotist."

Li Yaozhi held Xiao Yurong's fingertips, his eyes sparkling, "Your Highness..."

His eyes were dark, calm, and gentle, "If Your Highness is willing, Shao Yan does not care about such a reputation."

Xiao Yurong wrapped her arms around Li Yaozhi's waist, "That's why I like you, Shao Yan, because you're always by my side."

Her voice was cold and soft, with a lazy hoarseness that came from being satisfied.

The silk and satin have fallen off, leaving only lingering sorrow.

Xiao Yurong's amber pupils froze slightly. At this moment, her usually sharp eyes seemed a little dull.

The wet heat enveloped both her and Li Yaozhi, and the colors embedded in their vision became hazy at that moment.

"Ha..." Xiao Yurong panted, his fingertips twitching and wrinkling the silk sheets.

"Your Highness..." Li Yaozhi called her softly in her ear.

Li Yaozhi moved up along Xiao Yurong's wrist and interlocked their fingers.

The temperature was too high and the time was too long, so high that all the sticky stuff dried up.

It was unknown how many times this had happened, but as if she was gasping for breath after being on the verge of death, Xiao Yurong trembled in Li Yaozhi's arms.

"Shao Yan will serve Your Highness in cleaning." Li Yaozhi put on his clothes, covered Xiao Yurong with a veil, bent down and picked her up.

He walked steadily, holding Xiao Yurong through the silk gauze, and walked towards the hot spring in the princess's mansion.

In the Tangchi Xunshui Palace, servants passing by lowered their eyes and did not even try to see the master's true face. They stopped where they were and waited respectfully to pay their respects.

Li Yaozhi looked straight ahead as he carried Xiao Yurong through the long corridor. The lights in the quiet courtyard were like the moon, and the corridors were reflected by dense bamboos.

People who are calm, self-disciplined and polite are the ones who have no taboos.
