The Princess's Deadly Daily Life

A good child was born in Chang'an, a place so close to the imperial palace, but the people actually had to steal and rob to make a living.

I thought that his parents deliberately taught him bad things, making him lazy and greedy...

Li Xixiao felt sorry for the old man and the child, so he softened his tone, "Old man, the child had no choice but to steal to make a living, but why did he poison the horse, drive it crazy, and kill people?"

The grandmother looked bewildered, looking at the little beggar's tiny body with a look of disbelief on her face.

The little beggar looked at his grandmother and said in a panic, "Sister, it was a man from the Liang Palace who told me to do this. He had a rat-like face and a big mole on his nose with a hair on it. He gave me a lot of copper coins and said that if someone in the carriage fell to their death, he would buy me some clothes and that he would cure my grandmother's illness, so... woo woo... I won't dare to do it again next time."

She couldn't help but frown as she listened to the child's description.

She knew someone was behind this. Was it the Prince of Liang's Mansion? A dignified prince's mansion actually used a child to do such a dirty thing!

"Child, I have caused you so much suffering." The grandmother cried bitterly.

Li Xi looked at him, her eyes completely devoid of accusation. She just squatted down and said, "Remember what you said. When the time comes, I will bring someone to see you, and you must explain it word for word." She paused and said, "If you agree, I will definitely ask someone to buy you clothes and help your grandmother with her medical treatment!"

There was a moment of silence in the leaky house. The little beggar pondered over the meaning of Li Xiying's words in disbelief, and his face suddenly became excited.

"Thank you, sister. Thank you, sister... I will cooperate!" The little beggar looked determined. Suddenly he thought of something. He got up from the bed and happily took out a clean Bi Luo and handed it to Li Xiying with both hands. "Sister, you are so kind."

The aroma of Biluo filled her nose. The dirty little hands left two black marks on Biluo. Li Xiying didn't think it was dirty. He stole it at the risk of being beaten. So she pushed it back and said, "You can eat it with your grandmother."

The little beggar ran to the bed and fed the Biluo to his grandmother's mouth. He raised his sleeve to wipe the sweat from his forehead, rubbed oil on his body, and then took out another Biluo that had dropped on the ground when he was escaping. He brushed off the ashes and began to eat it with relish.

When he wiped the sweat, she clearly saw that his belly was red, and the most serious part of his chest was already covered with blisters. His grandmother laughed while eating, tears streaming from her eyes. The little beggar raised his sleeves to wipe her tears while eating. The tattered clothes on his arms slipped down, revealing shocking scars. He said, "Grandma, don't cry. There are other fillings. If it doesn't taste good, eat something else."

It seems that this child has suffered a lot for a living.

“No, it’s delicious… delicious…” Grandma burst into laughter and ate the Biro as if it were a precious jewel, savoring it slowly.

Seeing that the two were enjoying their meal very much, she left without disturbing them.

When she came out of the shabby house, she happened to meet a man. Behind him was the bright sunset, which made her squint her eyes.

He looked at her with a smile against his back, and she adjusted herself to the light and saw his face clearly.

"Cui Silang? You just..."

He continued, "I was near Biro's shop just now. I saw you chasing the child, so I followed you because I was afraid you were in danger." He looked at her slightly narrowed eyelashes, which looked like two brushes fluttering back and forth, and he found it fun. He followed her closely as she walked, "I heard everything you said."

Li Xiying stopped and said, "Did you hear it? Did you really hear it? If you heard it, why didn't you go in?" Li Xiying's eyes were filled with mist without her knowing when, which blocked her vision when she looked at him. She wiped the corners of her eyes belatedly and asked in confusion.

"I heard you promised to buy them clothes and treat their illnesses, but I... I didn't have any money on me." He smiled guiltily when he said this.

Li Xi was a little surprised. After all, that child almost killed his grandfather. He only heard him continue, "The child is not wrong. It's this world that is wrong, and that bad guy in the Liang Palace who has a mole on his nose and hair on his mole."

She couldn't help but chuckle, and when she looked up again, she saw the oil paper he handed to her, with two fragrant biro inside.

He held it up silently, but she didn't take it, and asked in confusion: "Didn't you say you didn't bring any money?"

He didn't know she would question this, and shook his head helplessly, "Don't worry, I didn't steal it. I told the boss and asked the servants to send the money later. I've already eaten it, so this is for you. It will be a waste if you don't eat it."

Cui Silang never thought that one day he would have to explain the origin of a Biro when he bought it for someone.

She took the oil paper with one hand, thinking of throwing away the ugly purse in her hand, but he happened to catch it.

"Let me hold it for you." He hesitated for a moment, frowning slightly, "Is this embroidered with... a bird?"

Li Xixiao raised her hand and picked up a Biluo, put it in her mouth, and bit it with her white teeth, oil splashed everywhere. It was filled with crab roe, which was fresh, fragrant and sweet.

Cui Silang looked at her puffy cheeks, which moved a little dazedly.

She ate and said, "My embroidery is ugly. Throw it away. Even a beggar wouldn't be willing to use such an ugly thing."

"Actually, I don't have any money either. If I want to keep my promise, it may take some time. If possible, you can help them. Just consider it as a loan from me and I will pay you back when I have money. If you don't want to lend it, it's okay. I can find another way and won't make them wait too long." She said.

"Of course I am willing. It would be a joke if the son of the prime minister of the current dynasty couldn't even come up with money to help the common people."

"But that's great. You just heard everything. That means you can prove that the poisoned horse incident has nothing to do with me, right?"

Cui Silang looked at her smiling and frowning face, his ears slightly hot, thinking: "Of course, there is no need for me to explain more. My grandfather has never doubted you, and mother has always treated you like a guest."

"Even so, it's time for me to leave." Li Xiying said to herself.

"What?" He was slightly stunned. For the first time in several years, an emotion other than that related to the chess game emerged from his mind...

"It's almost evening. I should go pick up Shanluo." She ate up Biluo cleanly, thinking that she should explain to the prime minister's wife tomorrow that she should take Shanluo away early in the morning. Only after Shanluo was settled could she continue with her plan.

"Oh." His expression was gloomy, and a strange feeling suddenly emerged in his heart, which was hard to explain.

The evening mist was vast and dark clouds gradually gathered overhead.

In the corridor of the prime minister's residence, Li Xiying and Shan Luo sat opposite each other on the bed, talking to each other, while outside the room, the drizzle like beads was dancing on the ground.

"So, you want to stay in that embroidery workshop?"

"Well, the boss lady is very nice and treats everyone equally. And Xu Xiu Niang teaches me everything she knows. And there is no need to sign a contract to sell yourself. It is good even if you stay there for the rest of your life."

She looked so relaxed, like an old person who knew her destiny. She didn't have too many illusions about the rest of her life and just wanted to live a leisurely life.

Li Xi had been in the Xiangfu for many days and understood a truth very well. He said: "No matter where you go or what you do, freedom is precious. I am really happy for you."

Shanluo nodded, "What about you? Do you have any plans?"
