Peerless Young Master

"The princess's bedroom is in front. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

After Li Xuan entered the princess's mansion, his task was very simple, which was to be responsible for Princess Ping'an's three meals a day.

It's such a simple task, and with so many people in the mansion, anyone can do it, but they have to find someone from outside.

This made Li Xuan keenly aware that there was something going on, but unfortunately the people in the mansion were very tight-lipped, and no matter how he asked, these people just stammered.

Even the servant who brought him to the princess's bedroom was very far away and didn't dare to get close at all, as if he was very wary of the princess.

This made Li Xuan suddenly confused. Could it be that the princess looked scary, with a green face and fangs?

After a brief moment of wandering thoughts, Li Xuan took a deep breath and decided to make the best of it. He knocked on the door a few times, but there was no response, so he pushed it open and walked in.

The princess's bedroom is very large, even larger than the three-bedroom and one-living room in her previous life. It is divided into three floors. The innermost one is also called the inner room, which is where the princess sleeps.

The outside is called the outer hall and the outer room. The outer hall is used for chatting and gathering guests, and the outer room is where the princess learns music, chess, calligraphy and painting and reads books.

"Princess"

Li Xuan called out softly twice, and seeing no one responded, he walked towards the outer room. The floor was covered with drawing papers and many paintings neatly arranged.

He put the food on the table and picked up a picture on the ground. The painting was very distorted and the color was very dark, so it was difficult to see what was painted.

After a quick glance, I found that all the paintings here were abstract. There were large circular images similar to lotus leaves, and some that were unclear what was in the paintings. Anyway, the main focus was on abstraction.

The only relatively simple one is a shadow. In the corner there seems to be a little girl painted. There is no front view and the back is bleak, giving people a feeling of loneliness and desolation.

Li Xuan walked inside and saw a girl sitting on the couch.

Her soft black hair was casually draped over her shoulders, her pretty and elegant little face had rosy cheeks, a snow-white oval face, and a thin figure, and she looked childish.

There were a bunch of pictures and white papers on the girl, and it seemed that she fell asleep while drawing.

This is Princess Ping An. She looks like a child, and there's nothing scary about her. I wonder what those people are afraid of.

As her eyelashes trembled, Princess Ping'an slowly opened her eyes, and what caught her eye was a handsome face. She was so scared that the portraits on her body fell off.

She shrank her body, and her grape-like eyes blinked, giving people a natural and cute feeling, and she said in a soft voice: "Who are you?"

"Princess, I am a new servant, here to bring you food," Li Xuan said.

"Oh"

Princess Ping'an said "oh", stood up, put the drawing paper on her body aside, walked to the table, sat on the stool like a good baby, waiting to be fed.

Li Xuan took the food out of the lunch box and arranged it one by one.

Princess Ping'an began to eat in small bites and looked up at Li Xuan. Her eyes, as clear as water, were like the rippling surface of a lake, blinking continuously.

She didn't understand why this person wasn't afraid and stayed so close.

In the past, those people would stand outside the hall, wait until I finished eating, then come in to clean up and leave.

Li Xuan looked at Princess Ping'an carefully. He didn't notice her just now because she was lying there. Now it seems that her appearance is no worse than Mo Ling, especially her eyes, which are very innocent.

It gives people a pure baby look, making it difficult for people to bully it;

However, this meal gives people a feeling of being dependent on others.

In short, Li Xuan felt that something must have happened to Princess Ping'an, otherwise she would not have any princess demeanor at all, but instead have a kind of silly and autistic feeling.

"Princess, do you like painting?" Li Xuan asked for no reason.

Princess Ping'an raised her head, did not answer, and lowered her head to chew.

"If the princess likes painting, I have heard that. If you don't mind, I can accompany her to paint." Li Xuan wanted to have a good relationship with Princess Ping'an.

"You... can draw," Princess Ping'an said softly.

"Um"

Li Xuan found a paintbrush and white paper, and quickly drew a rabbit. However, since it was drawn with a brush, although it was a bit sloppy, it was much better than the princess's.

"What's this"

Princess Ping'an looked at the rabbit in the portrait, tilted her head, and raised her dark eyebrows slightly. She looked for a long time but still couldn't understand it.

"rabbit"

"rabbit"?

Li Xuan raised his eyebrows and looked at Princess Ping'an's confused expression. Could she not even know about rabbits? He asked tentatively: "Princess, you have been staying here all the time and have never gone out?"

Princess Ping'an shook her head: "No, they say there are tigers out there that eat children. They are so scary."

Li Xuan was stunned for a long time. This was the princess's mansion, and there was not even a single wild dog to be seen, let alone a tiger. It seemed that the servants were deliberately trying to scare the princess and not let her go out.

This made Li Xuan even more curious about the secret hidden in Princess Ping'an, and he had to find an opportunity to ask her clearly.

"Princess, can I teach you how to draw a bunny?"

"Yeah"

When Princess Ping'an heard about painting, she immediately smiled, put down her chopsticks, took all the papers on the couch, and handed a small part to Li Xuan.

In the kitchen, two waiters were picking vegetables and chatting: "Do you think the new one can last for three days?"

"Three days, I think it's doomed. Two days ago, a foolish thief broke in, but ended up not stealing anything and ended up getting killed. He's extremely unlucky.

"Why did this thief come here when there are so many other places to go? He must be aware that the princess is born with an unlucky nature and anyone who comes near will die a miserable death," muttered a servant.

"Who said it wasn't? I don't know when these days will end. They make me feel very anxious. I have to pray to Buddha every day when I go out, hoping for his blessing." Another servant felt the same way.

"Hey"

Just as the two were chatting, Li Xuan walked in. Before he could say anything, the two servants took a few steps back as if they had seen something dirty, holding a triangular amulet in their hands.

"You guys are talking nonsense. Is there something unclean in the princess's bedroom?" Li Xuan said.

"No no"

The two servants said with a forced smile: "We remembered that there is still something we haven't done, so we leave this place to you."

With that, the two of them walked around in a big circle and left.

Li Xuan's eyes flickered as he looked at the amulet given by Haifu on his waist. He thought for a moment, said something to the steward, and left the princess's residence.

An hour later, he arrived at a teahouse, walked in, and whispered to the shopkeeper: "Flying Dragon in the Sky".

The shopkeeper's pupils widened for a moment, he stood up and said, "What would you like, sir?" Then he leaned over and whispered, "Come back in three days, sit by the window."

"A pot of good tea and a pile of mutton"

Li Xuan shouted and found a clean spot.

"Have you heard? The Ru Family is offering 10,000 taels of silver to find a chef with superb cooking skills. This is 10,000 taels of silver. Whoever gets it will have no worries about food and drink, and can also be behind the Ru Family. No one in the capital will dare to provoke them in the future."

"I heard that the Lin family invented the soup pot, which became a national hit. I wonder how much money they made, and they took away a lot of business from Home Inn. Home Inn definitely doesn't want to be outdone."
