Chapter 263 There are always people who don't give up
Qiaoyue sneered, curling her thin lips. She no longer had the harsh expression she had during the day, and her words and deeds were somewhat careless.
"Me? Huh! Aren't you the same?"
"The tricks were very clever, and he looked harmless to humans and animals. In the end, Luo Jiuli defeated him with just one move."
Qiulian bit her lip, her face turned pale, as if she had been slapped hard, but she still tried hard to control her anger.
"Do you really want to be so tit-for-tat with me?"
"In this situation, shouldn't you and I work together to deal with Luo Jiuli and recapture the Nine Kings?"
Qiaoyue shrugged.
"I think so too! It was you who started the trouble, and now you act like I'm not sensible. Who can you show that you're acting so arrogantly?"
As he said that, he turned around and twisted his waist to walk to the bed.
"you--"
Qiu Lian was so angry at Qiao Yue's unabashed words that both sides of her nose twitched.
But 'the enemy is now', and she has to unite with Qiao Yue.
Although, she doesn't like Qiaoyue.
After all, no woman would really like another woman who is prettier than herself, has a better figure than herself, and has a better appearance than herself.
"Okay, okay, I was wrong, I apologize to you."
"I was just a little too impatient. I never thought that Luo Jiuli would act against common sense and act like a jealous woman, confining you and me in this cold courtyard."
Qiulian's tone softened, and Qiaoyue gradually calmed down.
She was better than Qiu Lian in appearance and figure. It was because of this that she won the favor of the Queen Mother and the noble concubine, who appointed her to the Ninth Prince's Mansion.
But the only thing she has is self-awareness, that is, her methods and cleverness are not comparable to Qiulian.
"Now, is there any way you can get out? Anyway, I can't think of a way."
Qiulian lowered her eyes and clenched her fingers slightly.
He walked slowly to Qiaoyue, lowered his body and lowered his voice:
"Yes, yes, I just need your cooperation--"
Outside the window, the night is getting darker and darker, the wind is blowing, the bare branches are making a whimpering sound, and the shrill call of the black star bird can be heard in the distance from time to time.
After the sound of wind and shouting, everything suddenly became quiet again. The silence was terrifying...
——
The next day, just after dawn, Luo Jiuli woke up.
Having just woken up, she reached out and touched the place beside her. There was no one there, but the bed was slightly warm. Apparently the people around her had just left.
She sat up and got dressed.
"South Star, South Candle."
Outside the door, Nan Xing and Nan Zhu opened the door and walked in.
Nan Zhu: "Master is awake?"
Nan Xing: "Master, it's just dawn outside. Master, please sleep a little longer."
Luo Jiuli shook his head.
"I can't sleep, where is the prince?"
Last night, because she was menstruating, Xiao Mingxuan ran out to take a shower. When he came back, the two hugged each other and fell asleep, and they had a peaceful night.
Nan Zhu helped her get up.
"Your Majesty will go to the school grounds at this time every day."
"School ground? Do you practice martial arts?"
Nan Zhu nodded.
"Well, the prince's skills have never failed in a day."
Luo Jiuli sighed in his heart, opened the curtain and looked outside, only to feel the cold north wind blowing into the room, and quickly closed the curtain again.
"It is because of his perseverance and perseverance, as well as his rock-solid self-discipline, that the prince achieved the title of the God of War."
"General, it's really not easy."
While talking, Nan Xing had already folded the quilt and made the bed.
"Master, I'm going to tell the kitchen to prepare breakfast."
Luo Jiuli nodded.
"Tell the kitchen not to prepare too much. Two bowls of porridge, two eggs, a plate of pickles, and a small cage of meat buns are enough for the prince and me to eat. If not, like last time, the whole table was covered early in the morning.
If you can’t eat it, it’s all wasted.”
"yes."
Nan Xing responded, opened the curtain and left the room.
At this time, a maid came in with warm water. After Luo Jiuli washed up, she sat in front of the bronze mirror and wiped her face. Behind her, a maid who specialized in combing her hair gave her a simple bun.
Inside the house, I had just finished combing my bun, and outside the house, I heard the sound of someone saluting and saying hello.
Then the door curtain was lifted, and Xiao Mingxuan, dressed in a black cotton-padded jacket, entered the house with steam all over his body.
Luo Jiuli stood up and greeted him.
"Nan Zhu said, you went to the school grounds."
Xiao Mingxuan nodded.
"You don't feel well, why are you up so early?"
"I didn't see you when I woke up, so I couldn't sleep. Anyway, the days are short in winter, so I'm not sleepy."
While the two were talking, Mo Han entered the room with his arms covered.
"Hey! Mo Han, what's wrong with you? Are you injured?"
Mo Han glanced at his master and said with a sad face.
"The master heard that the second young lady was awake, and he came back anxiously to see the second young lady. One on four, he was ruthless."
The implication is that he was trained by his master.
Luo Jiuli looked at Xiao Mingxuan, who was brushing his sleeves indifferently, and then at Mo Han, who was covering his arms with a sad face, and said with a smile.
"None of you have beaten the prince four to one?"
Then he gave Xiao Mingxuan a thumbs up.
"My prince is really awesome."
When Xiao Mingxuan heard this, he lowered his head and smiled slightly, and glanced at Mo Han like an old peacock opening his tail.
Mo Han: I deserve it.
Early in the morning, not only was he ‘beaten up’ by his master, but he also deliberately stepped forward and took a mouthful of dog food.
He doesn't deserve it, who deserves it.
"Master, Second Young Lady, I am resigning."
Mo Han felt that Qin Yin was right, the master's love for Miss Luo Er was so great that they were all unbelievable.
"Well, go ahead."
Xiao Mingxuan waved his hand and was in a good mood.
Mo Han retreated.
Outside the door, Nan Xing opened the curtain and walked in.
"Your Majesty, Master, breakfast is ready, do you want to serve food now?"
Xiao Mingxuan nodded.
Luo Jiuli glanced at the square table in the room.
"Just put it here."
"yes."
After a while, the food was ready.
Just as Luo Jiuli ordered, there were two bowls of porridge, a plate of pickles, a cage of meat buns, and two eggs on the square table.
When Xiao Mingxuan saw what was put on the table, he frowned instantly.
"So few?"
Not only are they few, they are also simple.
Luo Jiuli turned to look at him.
"Isn't it enough to eat?"
"No, it's just that the style is smaller and simpler than the ones I make every time. I'm afraid I'll be at a loss for you."
"Nan Xing, go ask the cook to finish cooking the blood swallow for your master."
"yes."
The prince dotes on his master, so she is naturally happy for him.
He answered and was about to go out.
"Nanxing, wait."
Luo Jiuli stopped Nan Xing, then turned to look at Xiao Mingxuan.
"Your Majesty feels sorry for me. Even if I don't eat the blood swallow, I will be happy in my heart."
"It's just that I don't have much appetite when I get up early. This breakfast is enough. Any more would be a waste."
She knew that Xiao Mingxuan, as a royal prince, had to have more dishes when dining. The more dishes, the better he could reflect his identity and status. Whether he ate it or not was one thing, but whether he cooked it or not was another matter.
The last few times they had breakfast in the palace, facing a large table of exquisite dishes, she and Xiao Mingxuan didn't really take a few bites.
