Di Xin didn't have much appetite, but Wang Ruoqing and others were happy, so he was naturally in a good mood, so this New Year's Eve dinner could be said to be a feast for both host and guest.
That guest was naturally Zhao Yuer.
Although Zhao Yue'er lives in the General's Mansion, she still does not belong to the General's Mansion in essence. However, Zhao Quanyou encountered heavy snow on the way back and the road was blocked, so she will not be able to come back until tomorrow, the Chinese New Year, so she stayed at the General's Mansion to eat.
New Year's Eve dinner.
But no one here treated her as an outsider.
The New Year's Eve dinner ended later than usual. Although there were only a few people, it didn't end until the end of the day.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, Wang Ruoqing was ready to rest.
Tomorrow is the official Chinese New Year. As the mistress of the General's Mansion, she has a lot to do, so she needs to get up early.
But before she could get up, she was stopped by Di Xin.
Wang Ruoqing looked at Di Xin in confusion, but what she got in return was a slight smile from Di Xin: "We'll find out in a moment."
Since it was Di Xin, of course Wang Ruoqing would not disobey, so she sat back down again and started talking softly with Xizi.
As for Zhao Yue'er, because of what King Yu said at the door of the study, she couldn't sit still after the New Year's Eve dinner and the servants and maids started cleaning up, and she looked at Di Xin frequently.
Di Xin clapped his hands.
Laifu, who was waiting by the side, saw this and bowed slightly before retreating.
Not long after, Zhao Yue'er saw Laifu and two servants coming back carrying the few things she saw at the door of the study.
And they were lined up one by one in the yard.
Only then did Di Xin say, "We want to go to the yard."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Yue'er couldn't help herself and was the first to get up and go to the yard.
Although Wang Ruoqing and Xizi were also a little curious, they were not as impatient as Zhao Yue'er. Instead, they stood up and followed Di Xin out of the door, one on the left and the other on the right.
At this time, Zhao Yue'er had already run to Laifu's side.
She lowered her head and looked at the things on the ground, and then at the fire fold in Laifu's hand. The meaning was self-evident.
For Laifu to be King Yu's personal butler, in addition to loyalty, eyesight is also indispensable.
Zhao Yue'er is clearly a hostage in the General's Mansion, but everyone can see that she has no restraints at all in the General's Mansion. Even Prince Yu and Princess Yu have been letting her play with her temper.
Not to mention anything else, just because he kept trying to sneak into the study these past two days, those servants would have been caught as assassins. But not only did Zhao Yuer not receive any punishment, he was able to sit in the master's seat at the New Year's Eve dinner tonight.
On the table.
Her status is obviously the same as that of Miss Qianwei before.
Therefore, seeing the undisguised curiosity and eagerness to try in Zhao Yue'er's eyes, Laifu quickly bowed and handed over the fire seal in his hand.
"Miss Yue'er, have you seen the fire twister?"
Laifu pointed to the place that Zhao Yue'er recognized as a thread before, and said respectfully: "When His Highness gives instructions later, you just need to light it."
"What will happen if it is lit?"
Zhao Yue'er opened the fire stick and blew it gently. It was obvious that if Laifu hadn't said "waiting for His Highness's orders", she would have lit it at that time.
Laifu shook his head and said, "This old slave doesn't know. His Highness only ordered this."
Then, he seemed to remember something, and hurriedly warned: "But His Highness said, you must leave immediately after lighting it, otherwise you may get hurt."
"Injuried?"
Zhao Yue'er was stunned.
It can actually hurt people. Could it be that Zi Shou spent the past three days making a kind of weapon?
On New Year's Eve, what is Zi Shou doing as a weapon? And it's still here?
Three unanswered questions flashed through her mind, but she became even more excited.
Since Zi Shou put these things here, he definitely wasn't using them to hurt anyone.
With her character who fears that the world will be in chaos, since she won't hurt the people around her, she naturally makes things as big as possible.
…
Laifu did not leave, but took another Huozhezi from another servant.
Since His Highness did not stop her just now, he would naturally not disturb Miss Yue'er's interest, but in order to prevent her from forgetting His Highness's instructions in her excitement, he decided to stay on the sidelines to protect her.
It was he who handed the fire certificate to Miss Yue'er. If she was injured, his crime would be serious.
With Di Xin's hearing, he could clearly hear the conversation between Laifu and Zhao Yuer despite some distance, but he did not stop it.
Even without that warning, with Zhao Yue'er's level, she would not be hurt by the things in the gadgets he made.
There was no danger either way, so I just let her go.
After seeing that the time was almost up, Di Xin raised his hand and gave a signal to Laifu to light the fire.
Even when Laifu was talking to Zhao Yue'er, his attention never left Di Xin.
After seeing Di Xin give the signal, he opened the fire seal and blew it gently, and then said to the two servants who also held the fire seal: "Light the fire."
On the side, Zhao Yue'er, who had long been unable to bear it, saw Laifu's actions, left and squatted down, bringing the fire twister in her hand closer to the fire twister.
There were more than ten such things on the ground, and there were only four people who lit the fire, including Zhao Yue'er.
Therefore, after lighting the one closest to her, she ran to the next one.
Although I don’t know what it does, just a little bit will do the trick.
Laifu and the two servants were ordinary people, but Zhao Yue'er was in the middle stage of acquired martial arts, so she lit most of the fire twisters.
After lighting them all, she remembered what Fu had said to her.
Although she had cultivation skills, she didn't want to test whether she would get hurt, so she tapped her foot lightly and jumped back to Wang Ruoqing's side.
Wang Ruoqing was used to her behavior, so she was not frightened and just looked at her with a smile.
Zhao Yue'er slightly stuck out her tongue, and then took Wang Ruoqing's arm.
Faced with Zhao Yue'er's coquettishness, Wang Ruoqing laughed a little, but was too lazy to talk about her anymore.
In the general's palace, she even acted her own way in front of Prince Yu, but she was extremely obedient in front of Wang Ruoqing.
Di Xin could tell that it was not the same disguise as before.
To be honest, Di Xin was a little surprised that there was someone who could restrain Zhao Yue'er without using force.
Di Xin was self-aware, and he could only restrain Zhao Yue'er from turning the general's house upside down. Otherwise, unless he turned his back completely, he would not be able to control her in other places.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have dared to go to the study room three or four times in the past three days.
Over there, Laifu saw Zhao Yue'er leaving with his peripheral vision. After heaving a sigh of relief, he and the two servants also hid.
Di Xin made the fire twisters a little longer to prevent accidents, but after the four people lit them all, the first few fire twisters that were lit were almost all burned out.
