The princess is killing like crazy again
Chapter 57: Money Can't Buy Smiles
"What Marquis Huai Ling said is truly hurtful." Xiao Yurong deliberately revealed his left hand which was still wrapped in the curtain.
In fact, it's just a small wound. If you take good care of it and apply the expensive ointment on time, there won't even be a scar left.
What Xiao Yurong is doing now is just a small trick.
She sighed sadly and gathered her hair with her left hand. "If I continue to be suspicious, won't I alienate my friends?"
"Your hand is injured?" Wang Fuxuan narrowed his eyes, angry, "Who hurt it?"
In fact, it was Cui Ci Ning who injured him, but in the final analysis, it was Xiao Yurong who went crazy and did it himself.
But Xiao Yurong would definitely not say that, instead he said: "On the battlefield, swords have no eyes, life and death are on the line, I don't know who hurt me."
After Xiao Yurong said this, Wang Fuxuan's expression was indeed shaken.
He sighed and put away the account book. "Forget it. Since I promised you, I won't hold you accountable for these things."
Only when Xiao Yurong heard Wang Fuxuan say that it was all written off did she smile.
"Wang is still very generous." Xiao Yurong smiled.
Wang Fuxuan snorted, "Stop your flattering manners."
Xiao Yurong ignored Wang Fuxuan's temper and said, "During my time in the army, I missed my brother day and night."
"Missing you?" Wang Fuxuan sneered, "You mean by missing you not to reply to my letter, and only reply with the two words 'safe and sound'? And even these two words were written by Li Yaozhi."
"Oh my, even my senior brother has discovered this." Xiao Yurong pretended to be surprised.
Wang Fuxuan was so angry that he laughed.
Xiao Yurong stood up and said, "I want to go visit you, Master. Do you want to come with me? Master, Brother?"
She bit her senior brother again with ups and downs.
"I have nothing to do, why should I go to see a teacher?" Wang Fuxuan raised his eyebrows slightly, "I am not his favorite disciple. When I go to his place, I either play chess or read books. I can't even say a few words. It's very boring."
Xiao Yurong raised his eyebrows and teased, "So I'm the only one who can go back. Sir, you're quite talkative. I'm afraid it's not that you're just too withdrawn, brother?"
"Do you think the teacher talks too much?" Wang Fuxuan almost laughed out loud.
This is also very interesting. In the eyes of outsiders, everyone thinks that Xiao Yurong is Liu Pinjue's favorite disciple.
After all, Liu Pinjue taught her the most, talked to her the most, and took care of her the most.
Xiao Yurong sighed softly.
Thinking about it this way, she felt that she was Liu Pinjue's most beloved disciple.
But who knew that Liu Pinjue would even kill his beloved disciple?
What is this? Killing disciples to prove the truth?
Wang Fuxuan was unwilling to go to the Taifu Mansion with Xiao Yurong, and Xiao Yurong was just saying it casually.
Since Wang Fuxuan didn't go, she would go by herself.
When Xiao Yurong was brought to Liu Pinjue, Liu Pinjue was practicing archery in the yard.
Xiao Yurong's archery was taught by Liu Pinjue, so Liu Pinjue's archery skills were naturally outstanding.
Aim at the bull's eye, release the string, and the arrow will hit the bull's eye.
This situation inevitably made Xiao Yurong recall the past.
Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. This principle was also taught by Liu Pinjue.
Xiao Yurong's archery skills were taught by Huo Zhao and Liu Pinjue. Liu Pinjue was the main person who taught Xiao Yurong archery, while Huo Zhao provided guidance.
"As long as you study and practice archery diligently, your accuracy will improve." Liu Pinjue once said.
"What do you mean? So this is all about hard work? Don't I have any talent? Then I don't want to learn it." Xiao Yurong let go after hearing this and threw the controller to the ground with a stern face.
At that time, Xiao Yurong had a very high opinion of himself and was very dissatisfied with Liu Pinjue's arrangement.
How could she think she had no talent? Liu Pinjue must have thought she was just a girl and could just fool around with her.
"Why did Shao Yan learn sword skills and Fu Xuan learn hidden weapons, but from me, he can only learn archery which can be mastered as long as he studies hard and practices diligently?" Xiao Yurong asked.
The sword is noble, and the hidden weapon tests one's talent. For her, all she needs is hard work and practice.
She said angrily: "Sir is biased!"
Liu Pinjue raised his eyebrows, "Am I partial?"
"You said I was biased, so I am biased." Liu Pinjue tapped Xiao Yurong's shoulder with a ruler, "Pick up the bow and continue practicing."
Xiao Yurong resisted, "No more practice! I don't want to practice anymore!"
With Liu Pinjue, throwing tantrums and rolling around are of no use.
Because these are useful to those people like Emperor Xiao who care about her, but to the cold-blooded and ruthless Liu Pinjue, they are like scratching an itch and are completely useless.
Even if I complained to Emperor Xiao afterwards and told him that I didn't want to learn anymore, it would be useless.
Emperor Xiao would only coax her and then let her go to Liu Pinjue to learn.
So Xiao Yurong was extremely unhappy. It was useless to act coquettishly when facing Liu Pinjue, and it was also useless to use her status as a princess to intimidate him.
The only person who could suppress this devil at that time was the iron-faced and impartial Liu Pinjue.
But in the final analysis, Xiao Yurong should also thank Liu Pinjue. If it weren't for Liu Pinjue, with her temper at that time, she would have become an uneducated and incompetent idiot.
She can now discuss state affairs, military affairs, write poetry and draw an arrow, all thanks to Liu Pinjue for not succumbing to the tyranny of the royal family.
But someone like Liu Pinjue would never bow down to you.
"Many years have passed, but your archery skills are still as good as before, sir." Xiao Yurong clapped his hands twice.
Liu Pinjue was not surprised at Xiao Yurong's arrival and put away his bow. "I heard that you shot through the rebels' flag with one arrow during the suppression of the rebellion. It seems that your archery skills should be better than mine now."
Xiao Yurong laughed: "This is all thanks to the teacher's tireless teaching. He taught me according to my aptitude and taught me riding and shooting."
"Teach students in accordance with their aptitude?" Liu Pinjue revealed a mocking look, "I don't know who chased me and scolded the teacher for being partial?"
"How come sir still remembers such an old story?" Xiao Yurong curled his lips.
Liu Pinjue paused and said, "I am not biased. Your strength and explosive power are not as good as theirs, but when it comes to concentration, endurance, insight and sharpness, you are better than them."
Xiao Yurong raised her eyebrows, so was this Liu Pinjue's explanation to her?
When she was a child, she always cried and said that Liu Pinjue was strict, but she actually knew that compared to other people, Liu Pinjue treated her the most indulgently.
Well... after all, it doesn't prevent Liu Pinjue from killing her.
The more Xiao Yurong thought about it, the more he felt that Liu Pinjue was an extremely cruel person.
Liu Pinjue is very dignified, cold and aloof. On the surface, he is polite to everyone, but when he is just there, people dare not approach him.
Liu Pinjue was already special in his treatment of Xiao Yurong, but he could still kill her for the sake of the country.
"That's why I say that you are a mentor to me." Xiao Yurong flattered casually.
"My mentor." Liu Pinjue nodded, "Only after meeting all the people in Yujing can I think of my mentor."
Xiao Yurong put his hands on his hips, "Sir, you are really something. If you were thinking about me, you wouldn't have come to see me earlier. Now that I have taken the initiative to come to see you, you are still picky and sarcastic."
Liu Pinjue sneered: "Sharp-tongued."
He seemed to remember something again, "Did you bring back a counselor of King Wen when you returned to the capital this time?"
"Yes." Xiao Yurong said frankly, "His name is Yi Yan, he is smart and good-looking, and has many special qualities. I like him very much."
"I heard that you suffered a lot because of him. Even your disappearance was closely related to him." Liu Pinjue said meaningfully.
"Yi Yan..." Xiao Yurong half-closed his eyes and recalled, "It can be used."
Liu Pinjue glanced at her and smiled: "You have already been attracted to him, right?"
Xiao Yurong said: "I am happy to see talented people, that's a good thing, could it be that you like me to be nepotistic?"
"It is a big taboo to show your joy on your face." Liu Pinjue said calmly.
Xiao Yurong curled his lips, "I can't compare to you, sir, who can remain calm even when the mountains collapse."
"You are so talkative that you are annoying." Liu Pinjue raised his hand and touched Xiao Yurong's forehead, and raised the corner of his lips slightly, "But he is a lot smarter."
"Sir, didn't you scold me before, saying that if Heaven had not given birth to you, Xiao Yurong, would the music of Chu be as sweet as the night forever?" Xiao Yurong smiled.
Liu Pinjue: “…”
Hold a grudge.
"It's time to change it now." Liu Pinjue said.
"What to change?" Xiao Yurong was really curious about what new evaluation her master would have of her.
Liu Pinjue looked at her and smiled.
He said: "If you, Xiao Qingqing, had not been born, the music of Chu would have been as dark as night forever."
Liu Pinjue seldom praises others, and Xiao Yurong would never have dared to imagine that such an evaluation could come from Liu Pinjue's mouth.
Seeing Xiao Yurong's surprised expression, Liu Pinjue raised his eyebrows, "What?"
"Since the master praises me so much, shouldn't the lunch be of good quality to be worthy of me, his true and beloved disciple?" Xiao Yurong asked with a smile.
Liu Pinjue was a frugal and simple person, and it was estimated that all those extravagant things were spent on Xiao Yurong.
Perhaps it was to set an example for his subordinates. Even at this time, before he became emperor, Liu Pinjue's life was already quite simple and clear.
Xiao Yurong had seen him bend down to pick up even the pastries that fell on the ground, dust them off, and put them into his mouth.
At least for this reason, Xiao Yurong admires Liu Pinjue.
No wonder there were so many people who rebelled, and in the end Liu Pinjue became the emperor.
"You're getting more aggressive." Liu Pinjue glanced at Xiao Yurong.
Having said that, when Xiao Yurong sat down at the table, he still saw that the food was exquisite.
Xiao Yurong was not well yet. During the meal, he couldn't help coughing twice, which caused Liu Pinjue to glance at him.
Xiao Yurong thought that Liu Pinjue disliked her, so she suppressed the itch in her throat and blushed.
The Liu family's collection of books is well-known throughout the world. Although most of them are in the Liu family's ancestral home, Liu Pinjue also displayed quite a few books in the Taifu Mansion.
This was one of the reasons why Xiao Yurong came here.
After Xiao Yurong finished his meal, he took the key from Liu Pinjue as usual and ran to the library in the Taifu Mansion to look through the rare books.
The Liu Mansion is the quietest place. Inside and outside, everything visible and invisible is guarded by death warriors.
This library is off-limits to strangers and no one is allowed to disturb it.
Hearing the faint meow of a cat, Xiao Yurong thought he was hallucinating.
When I leaned out of the window, I saw a weak, lame kitten crying under the window.
Looks... a bit like Xie Deshu?
Xiao Yurong raised her eyebrows and went to bring the kitten in.
She checked the kitten's legs and it seemed that it had played too wildly and jumped from a high place and broke its leg.
"Princess." There was a knock on the door.
"Come in." Xiao Yurong didn't even raise his head.
The waiter came in with a small cup and said respectfully, "The master asked me to bring some snacks."
Xiao Yurong opened the veil and found a bowl of blood bird's nest, which is also a precious tonic.
"Is this cat from your house?" Xiao Yurong asked, taking the cup.
The waiter said, "Princess, you are joking. We have never kept a pet in our mansion. Maybe this is a stray cat that sneaked in from outside. If the princess doesn't like it, I will catch it right away."
"No need. I think it's cute." Xiao Yurong pushed the cup in front of the kitten. "Your leg is broken. I'll give you this to replenish your body."
"Princess...this..." the waiter said in surprise.
Xiao Yurong glanced over coldly, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." The attendant lowered his head quickly.
The kitten buried its face in the cup and drank happily sip by sip, shaking its head.
Xiao Yurong is not a person who has no place for kindness, but once the mood comes, he can't stop himself.
The more Xiao Yurong looked at the wild cat, the more it looked like Xie Deshu. He found it very interesting and scratched the kitten's chin with a smile.
"I'll leave first." After leaving the library, the waiter returned to Liu Pinjue.
Liu Pinjue was reviewing official documents. Hearing footsteps, he did not even raise his head and asked, "Did she drink?"
"Princess..." The waiter hesitated.
"What's wrong?" Liu Pinjue raised his head.
The waiter said tremblingly: "My lord, the princess used the rock sugar blood swallow to feed the wild cat that sneaked into the mansion..."
He thought for a moment, then added very carefully: "Princess Zhaoyang seems to like that wild cat very much and has been teasing it all the time."
Blood bird's nest is the best of all bird's nests and is a rare nourishing delicacy. Good treasures are expensive and are even known as the gold of food.
The authentic ones are extremely priceless, so that small cup is worth more than a thousand gold.
It is best for the lungs when stewed with rock sugar.
Just now, Liu Pinjue saw Xiao Yurong coughing at the dinner table, so he asked someone to stew it and send it to her.
Liu Pinjue was a frugal person in his daily life, and this was the most extravagant item in his daily expenses.
The waiter lowered his head very low.
Liu Pinjue was dignified and imposing, and his presence was intimidating even without him getting angry; a single glance from him could be as heavy as a thousand pounds.
He was afraid that if Liu Pinjue got angry, he would be implicated.
And the sentence just now, that Xiao Yurong liked the cat very much, was also added deliberately in order to test the truth of the rumor.
"Forget it, let her be." Liu Pinjue was just slightly stunned, then shook his head helplessly.
After hearing this, the waiter was also stunned.
Liu Pinjue supported his head with his hands and held the official document written by a member of the Liu clan to Xiao Yurong in his hand.
Every word and sentence describes Xiao Yurong's extravagant and wasteful nature, and also accuses Xiao Yurong of stealing the business of the clan's shops, which is simply abusing his power and being domineering.
He threw the document aside, took out another fold of it and unfolded it, "It is written correctly."
"Master?" the waiter asked carefully.
Liu Pinjue tapped the tabletop with his fingertips neither lightly nor heavily, and raised the corners of his lips slightly.
He smiled with a hint of veiled meaning: "A thousand gold coins cannot buy my dearest's happiness."
The waiter asked again: "Then... Master, the cat?"
Liu Pinjue said, "Keep it, don't worry about it."
"Yes." The waiter was about to leave.
