The Princess's Deadly Daily Life

Chapter 190: Keep it simple

Li Xi looked up at his deep eye sockets, dense and curved eyebrows, high nose and thin lips, some of the characteristics of the Western Regions Hu people. Just now, he heard from his followers that he was used to the battlefield. If I guessed correctly, this tough temperament and the faint deterrence just revealed would probably not lie, especially since he looked like a person of some reputation.

He is so young and famous. If my guess is correct, he must have a famous father. After further guessing, she can be sure who this man is.

The young man couldn't help but feel at ease when he saw her looking at him. "Why, my lady, do you have something else to ask me?"

Li Xi asked, "May I ask your surname, sir?"

The young man obviously just wanted to do good deeds without leaving a name, and when he saw her ask this, his brows furrowed slightly, he became cold and distant, and walked away.

His followers stopped Li Xi and said, "How can a commoner like you mention our husband's surname?"

Li Xixiao didn't take it seriously and said calmly, "Your last name is Zhu Xie, right?"

The follower was very surprised and looked as if asking how did you know that.

The man in black also stopped and turned to look at her with a hint of inquiry.

At this time, Amber and the guards had already walked up to her with the jar in their arms, somewhat confused about what was going on.

I heard the other party suddenly say in a deep voice: "You guessed wrong."

Seeing his and his followers' reactions, Li Xiqi became more certain of his assumption, and then said, "Since I guessed wrong, I will apologize to you. As a commoner, I shouldn't have discussed your original surname."

Xuan Yi Lang glanced at Amber and the others beside her, as well as the people who happened to pass by, and walked closer and asked, "I wonder how this lady could tell that?"

She couldn't help but smile.

"Like you, I also rely on my eyes to observe." She pointed at her own eyes and said as she passed by him, "Since you are busy, I won't bother you. I don't mean anything else by saying this, but I, a commoner in white, recognized the son of a vassal king. I am only representing all the people of Li Tang to express my deep disgust for Zhu Wen. Anyway, you Shatuo people have also been given the surname Li, and you were once the most trusted royal family of the late emperor. If you can kill Zhu Wen one day, we people will surely love you!"

The young man narrowed his eyes, and when she mentioned Zhu Wen, there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes, so he said: "We also want to kill that bastard, but..."

Then he looked at her again and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that a woman like you would be so concerned about state affairs?"

Li Xiying smiled, tears welling up in her eyes. She turned her head away so he wouldn't notice and said, "Who among the people of Li Tang doesn't hate that thief Zhu to the core? You are one of them, right?"

The young man then felt the slight moisture in the corners of her eyes, and just crossed his hands and bowed, "As you said, I will introduce myself. My surname is Li, my given name is Cunxu, and I am from the Shatuo tribe. My ancestor's surname was Zhuxie, and I was given the surname Li because of the emperor's great grace. If one day I can get rid of that bastard who brought disaster to the country and the people, I promise that my name will definitely be on the lips of the people."

Li Xi returned the greeting and said, "I am looking forward to it."

Although there were more and more people on the road, only the two of them could hear what they were saying, and then they smiled at each other knowingly.

"Mr. Li, I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now!" After saying that, Li Xiqi asked Amber and the guards to leave the place together.

Li Cunxu looked at the direction she left, and she disappeared in the blink of an eye. He suddenly remembered that he forgot to ask her name, and couldn't help laughing.

Soon Li Xiying and Amber arrived at Li Zhen's mansion. The door was open and a boy about eight or nine years old was sitting on the steps holding a book.

Amber walked up to the doorman and reminded him, "What are you reading? Why don't you report to the people you see?"

When the doorman saw Li Xiying, he immediately put away the book and gestured to invite Li Xiying into the mansion, with a very friendly smile on his face: "Sister, come in quickly, His Highness asked me to wait for you here."

Amber hesitated for a moment, then patiently corrected him, "What do you mean by sister? If you want to call her Madam, why not call her Princess? How can you claim to be related without any etiquette?"

The doorman scratched his head and said with a smile: "Sister...Alas, my wife always accepted my calling her like this before. I don't know the rules."

"No problem..." Li Xiying blurted out, then looked at him carefully, and then suddenly realized, "You are Ah Wu?"

The little beggar who shared a room with his grandmother's body? I never thought he had changed so much.

"I haven't seen you for a year. You've grown so tall? Even your hair has grown a lot."

He touched his head and said, "My hair is barely big enough to tie into a bun, but I've grown quite a bit this year." Then he chuckled and said, "But fortunately, I haven't had lice since I shaved my head last time."

Li Xi smiled silently and said to Hubo, "Don't think he looks like this. He is willing to read books all day long, which means he has listened to my words."

Ah Wu felt embarrassed by the praise and scratched his head, saying, "It was only because of my sister's giving me the opportunity that I was able to learn to read and write. The kid next door to our neighborhood is about the same age as me and he spends all day feeding pigs and cattle and managing the household."

He has gained a lot of weight now, and is much taller than last year. He is completely different from the little beggar who had his head shaved when he first arrived at the mansion.

Amber didn't understand the reason, she was just puzzled. She thought she was just an ordinary doorman, but she never thought she had a connection with the princess and even got to study. What did she miss during those days?

At this moment, Li Zhen and Wei Yu also came out upon hearing the voice.

Wei Yu saw Li Xiying and Ah Wu standing at the door and talking. She walked over and held Li Xiying's hand and exchanged pleasantries for a while. Then her expression suddenly changed and she asked in confusion, "Why did the princess come here on foot?"

After saying this, she looked around again, but there was no trace of the carriage.

The sharp-eyed Li Zhen had already seen the guard holding the wine jar behind her. He knew the general situation without asking, so he asked the guard.

The guard reported the truth: "The coachman had a stomachache and got off the carriage to relieve himself..."

"The journey was tiring, and I wanted to get off the car to move around. Besides, the stop was not far away, so I could buy a jar of good wine to honor my uncle and aunt. It's a small thought from your niece." Li Xiying said.

Wei Yu blushed: "Princess, this is so thoughtful..." After saying that, she quickly took her hand and went into the mansion.

"Hey, aunt, we shouldn't be so distant. I have changed my words. Fourth uncle calls me Ah-Zheng, so you should call me that too." Li Xi-Zheng said in her ear as he walked by.

Wei Yu covered her face and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, okay, I will call you whatever Ah-Qing wants me to call."

The crowd meandered into the mansion garden. Li Xiqi glanced at the facilities in the mansion. Although it was much more ordinary than the one in his fourth uncle's Chang'an Palace, the buildings everywhere were simple, but there were still precious herbs planted in the place where the flower beds were supposed to be.

Just because Fourth Uncle was getting married soon, the entire mansion was decorated with red and green from the outside to the inside, and decorated with lanterns and colorful lights.

"Because the royal palace in Chang'an has been destroyed, some have been demolished, some have been destroyed, so when I came to Luoyang I proposed to your fourth uncle that we should keep everything simple." After Wei Yu said this, now thinking about it, she deeply felt that this idea was very suitable for the current situation. It would be enough to buy an ordinary house to live in, and there was no need to let everyone know their origins.

Li Xi smiled and said, "Although this is the case, Fourth Uncle still put a lot of thought into this. He planted medicinal herbs everywhere where there is soil. From the large flower beds and ponds to the small potted plants, in this cold weather, there are still exotic flowers everywhere, which is really elegant and refined."

"That's true." Wei Yu glanced at Li Xuan who was following behind her. The more she looked at him, the more stupid he looked. She couldn't help but laugh and wondered why she hadn't noticed it before.

No wonder he never married a wife or concubine in the past thirty years, and he spent all his time on this.
