39 Chapter 39(1/2)
"Miss Chuxue, this time you can't refuse the invitation to the prince's house as before."
Through the curtains, the owner of the teahouse said to the woman inside in sweat, feeling worried and miserable.
If you say that this Snow Girl is good at everything, you just stick to your own set of rules. If you don’t meet her requirements, you will not obey your temptation and coercion.
If it was normal, many literati liked to eat this trick. Even if there were occasional trouble, they would be driven away by the guards next to Miss Chuxue, who had good martial arts skills. Naturally, he would be happy to win both reputation and money in the teahouse. But this time, the person who came was not an ordinary dignitary, but a powerful prince!
"Miss Chuxue, you just treat it as a helper with me in this teahouse. Just make an example and go to the banquet for Prince Rui's parents. Is that good?"
The brief silence behind the curtain made the teahouse owner panic, and he almost knelt down and begged for this aunt.
"Ahem..."
A burst of clear cough came, and the teahouse owner quickly raised his ears nervously.
Behind the hanging curtain, the shadow stood beside Su Xiaozhao, across the black hat, looking at the girl who was covering her lips and pressing her smile desperately, but she had already smiled like a presbyopian girl on her face...
Su Xiaozhao tried hard to control the expression on her face, and she coughed a few times, and said softly, as if he was hesitating: "This..."
After pausing for a few seconds, she sighed and said, "Oh, the boss understands the boss's difficulties... I have no intention of making it difficult for the boss to do it, and it is not that I stick to the rules... It's just that. I've gone to the prince's house to play music for the banquet, and Chuxue agreed."
He walked out of the curtain with one hand and took the invitation.
Ying Yi raised her eyes lightly and looked at the girl's smile that could not be suppressed. She paused several times when she finished speaking. After she took the invitation, she buried her red face in the invitation. Her shoulders were trembling and flowers were almost laughing at her lips.
I searched for my love rivals, and I came to the door to send the wolf away!
However, to the teahouse owner outside the curtain, the girl's voice was a bit sad and helpless. In order not to affect others, she had to put down her figure and beg everyone to agree to go to the prince's mansion.
So much so that when she spoke at the end, her voice seemed to be filled with depression and then she was silent for a long time.
"This is really... thanking Miss Chuxue for her kindness." The teahouse owner sighed.
"Boss, don't say that. It is my honor to be able to play music for the prince's house banquet." The girl bit her thumb and replied.
What a considerate and good girl... The teahouse owner was very relieved when he heard this, and thought to himself that he would take more care of this poor singer in the future.
...
As soon as the teahouse owner left, Su Xiaozhao held the pipa and said "ao" and almost rolled on the floor without any joy.
It's been so long that she has no idea how to invade the enemy camp. In addition, the prince's mansion is very strict, so it is impossible to break in. So she has been in a depressed state recently, but she didn't expect to be able to get in so easily?
Who gave her a good assist?
"I heard it right? Da Ying'er, I heard it right? That prince, I really want to invite me to the mansion to play music tomorrow?" Miss Su asked with her little heart.
"Yes, Miss." Yingyi replied calmly.
"Hello~ It's great, Da Ying'er, go back and search the guy with me! The first time the wolf-stealing team is dispatched, there is no way to miss it!" Miss Su clenched her fists and jumped in the room, full of murderous intent.
Ying Yi paused slightly, as if he felt a faint and unspeakable feeling of the first task he had officially performed for her.
Then, he nodded and said, "Yes, Miss."
※※
Miss Su, who left the teahouse early, took off her mask, rushed home and "scrawled the guys", sneaked back to Su's mansion and saw Ying Liu sitting in front of the stone table in the yard with her back facing her.
Su Xiaozhao was in a good mood. She turned around, raised her finger and shrew at Ying, and quietly walked over on tiptoe.
Ying Liuzheng lowered his head and used a carving knife to carve the wood, and "rustling" sounds came from time to time.
If it were the past, it would not be difficult for him to notice such a trick, but at this time he focused on the movements in his hands, so he did not notice her approach.
"What are you doing..." Su Xiaozhao suddenly put on his shoulder.
She spoke for a moment slower than her movements.
It was at this moment that the young man who was harmlessly bowing his head and carving wood suddenly shook his wrists sideways, and the carved knife shot out, reaching the person behind him—
His instinct was so fast that he turned sideways for a moment. After smelling the familiar breath of the girl, he was shocked after hearing her cheerful voice.
But the carving knife had taken off her hand and shot out quickly, heading towards her fragile neck.
"Hao!"
"…Huh?" Su Xiaozhao spoke.
Seeing Yingyi's small stone coming first, knocking away the sharp carving knife, Yingliu was still in shock and was afraid of her pale face... Su Xiaozhao finally reached out and touched her cold neck after realizing it.
He looked at the carving knife that was shot to the ground again.
Then, the corner of her mouth moved and pressed a little. Without saying a word, tears quietly arose in her eyes, becoming more and more full...
"Little, Miss, little madman! Don't cry, hold back..."
Ying Liu was panicked, raised his hand but did not dare to move, for fear that the two tears would really fall off, and for fear that they would scare her again. She was at a loss for a moment and looked at her in panic.
It’s all his fault, why did he instinctively fight back?
Queen Ying Liu was afraid and upset. It was the first time that she was so lucky that Ying Yi's martial arts skills were far above him, otherwise it would have been unimaginable just now.
However, Su Xiaozhao's tears never stopped just by calling.
She raised her head slightly, opened her tears, and looked at him firmly. Her eyes were stubborn, aggrieved, persevering, and a hint of accusation - expectation.
Ying Liu naturally couldn't understand such complicated eyes, but he thought it was awful. He accidentally scared the little lunatic, so she would definitely not take him to play with him.
This is great. If you can't coax the little madman back, his skills will probably be in vain... By the way, what he made!
Ying Liu's face lit up, and he quickly turned around, picked up all the objects on the table, put his hands together, and said carefully: "Little madman, don't cry for now, look at what I made for you?"
Su Xiaozhao's tears, which was originally stubborn and enduring, finally moved, "...what did it come from?"
She didn't blink, as if she was afraid that the tears she had finally accumulated would disappear. Her eyes were like black jade soaked in water, wet, trying to see clearly what was in front of her.
Ying Liu was worried, looking at the tears that could not be shed, and quickly said, "Didn't you want some small hidden weapons before? I used telescopic springs to make these hidden weapons myself. Do you think I did it right?"
No matter what, it is a matter of getting the little lunatic to distract his attention from the tears.
"For example, if you press this, a needle will pop up in the middle..."
When Su Leibao learned that there was a new toy, he was no longer stubborn and no longer tolerated it. He wiped the back of his hand and reached out to take it over: "Did you give it to me?"
She burst into tears and said, "Sure enough, children who can cry have candy to eat, and it works wherever they put it."
"You..." Ying Liu glared and realized that he was fooled.
"What do I do? It took me many years before I understood this principle and was promoted to 'favorite'." She bent her eyebrows proudly, shaking the spoils in her hand. "Nature gives humans a developed tear gland, which is not a useless organ, but a strange gift."
No one who can't cry will ever care about you. This is the first time she tried to shed such physiological tears, which she understood in everyone's guilty eyes.
Tears are always more arousing people's empathy than stereotyped smiles.
"Forget it, you just like it if you like it little madman." Ying Liu let out a sigh of frustration.
As long as she no longer wants to cry or not, it is not a problem for him. After all, the Ministry of Film and Health has never taught him how to coax the girl who was made cry by him.
"But, didn't you say that you were dangerous before and refused to make a hidden weapon for me?" she said.
Ying Liu scratched his forehead: "It shouldn't matter, it's just for you to play with."
In terms of lethality, it is actually better for her to use an embroidery needle and directly stab someone. Besides, the little madman has not been making trouble recently and is very obedient, so he probably won't be able to cause trouble, right?
Ying Liu thought so.
"I am worthy of being the props of the wolf-stealing team!" Su Xiaozhao patted his shoulder with joy, "That's great, I'm going to enter the prince's mansion tomorrow night, and I'll send a pillow when I'm sleepy, so I can go deep into the tiger's den now!"
"Ah?" Ying Liu was stunned.
What did she say?
Ying Liu was so shocked that he looked up at Ying Yi. Seeing him standing there quietly lowering his eyes, he couldn't help frowning: Why did he let the little madman make a fuss?
She was going to Jin Feibai's mansion, and she dared to have a bad idea? Isn't this a sheep entering the tiger's mouth?
"No, no, little madman, don't mess with Jin Feibai rashly. He is not a good person. You must not bring hidden weapons, if you are discovered..."
Seeing Yingliu was about to repent, Su Xiaozhao quickly turned his hand behind him and said, "Oh, I understand, I won't cause trouble."
It would be strange if it doesn't happen! Ying Liuyi slammed his cheeks and said anxiously: "At least... you bring me with you when you leave the prince's mansion. Otherwise, if something really happens, how can you get out!"
"I'm talking nonsense, I'm not going to cause trouble." Su Xiaozhao waved his hand, turned around and walked away and said, "I can't take you, you're too intrusive."
“…”
Ying Liu behind him was hit hard in an instant.
※※
Until Su Xiaozhao hugged the hidden weapon and disappeared behind the door happily, Ying Liu, who was standing still in the same place, was still deeply hit.
The little madman said he was nagging, the little madman said he was in the way... The little madman said he was nagging, the little madman said he was nagging...
Just as he was discouraged, he saw Yingyi passing by, Ying Liu hurriedly stepped over and stopped him.
"Yingyi, why am I..." He asked hesitantly, "Why do you feel that the little madman has seemed to have... gradually alienated me since he returned to Beijing? Am I thinking too much?"
Ying stood still, looked at the distressed boy with a glance, and said, "She is indeed."
"Ah, why? Did I do something wrong and provoke the little lunatic?" Ying Liu asked dejectedly.
"It's not your business."
