The Princess's Deadly Daily Life

Several maids helped her get up and wash while talking about what happened yesterday.

Yesterday they brought the little beggar back to the mansion, gave him a bath, and then His Highness examined him personally. Apart from being very hungry, there was nothing wrong with him.

Later, as it got darker, His Highness saw that the princess had not returned home yet, so he sent people to look for her.

One of them said, "Yes, Your Highness was worried that something bad had happened to the princess, and didn't know what to do. Unexpectedly, the princess came back before dawn today, and we are finally relieved."

Thinking of what happened that day, Li Xi couldn't help but ask, "How is the little beggar now?"

The maid said, "He is in good health, can eat and sleep well, and is arranged to live in the side room."

As he was talking about the little beggar, there was a sudden sound of the door opening.

A familiar voice sounded, and she turned around and saw that it was a young boy with a piece of jujube cake in his mouth. He swallowed it quickly and called her sister.

The maid pulled him away and scolded him, "Don't get the oil on the princess!"

"Also, you must knock when entering the princess' room. You cannot barge in unannounced!"

He stopped puffing up his cheeks and realized that he had done something wrong. He nodded with a confused and apologetic look on his face.

Li Xixuan could no longer confuse the fair, skinny little child in front of him with a little beggar.

He was dressed in a little robe, and the old dirt on his body had been cleaned off, which made him look much more pleasing, so much so that she couldn't recognize him at first glance.

"Are you okay?" Li Xiying saw that he was having a hard time craning his neck to look at people, so he squatted down and asked.

The little beggar nodded. His thin body made his eyes look particularly big, and his eyes were filled with tears. "Sister, I heard from these sisters that I was saved because of you. But you were captured by the bad thieves because of saving me? Are you hurt?"

Li Xi frowned. It seemed that the maids had imagined what happened to her after she disappeared, and exaggerated it to the child, so that he took these words as the truth.

"I'm not injured. Besides, there aren't so many bad people in the world." She turned to look at the maids, "I'm fine, right?"

The little beggar was so happy that his mouth was full of crumbs. He finally swallowed the jujube crisp in his mouth and said, "I'm glad that my sister is okay!"

The maids kept silent and dared not say anything.

Children are children. Their joy, anger, sorrow and happiness are all written on their faces. They may be happy one moment and hang their heads the next.

Li Xi asked, "We've known each other for so long, but I still don't know your name?"

He looked up and said truthfully: "My name is Chen Awu."

"Awu, you will live here from now on, okay?"

Ah Wu stared at her delicate and gentle face, his eyes reddened, and soon the jujube crumbs on his face started to fall down along with his tears, "But I miss my grandmother. Those sisters said that my grandmother is dead, and she must be buried in the earth when she dies..."

He pleaded, "Can you please not bury grandma in the ground?"

He had just lost his only relative and he was still a child after all, so it would take time for him to learn to hide his thoughts. So once someone cared about him, he would tell them everything.

Li Xixiao immediately said: "No, after death, the body must return to the earth."

He didn't dare to ask why, he just lowered his head and shrugged his shoulders, crying while holding back his sobs.

She has never coaxed a child, nor does she think children need to be coaxed.

Besides, let alone these maids, it was good enough that they didn't discourage him. After all, he was a child without parents, and now his only grandmother was gone, so he had to accept reality and learn to be indestructible.

Therefore, she would treat him like an adult instead of treating him as a child. No one can take care of him throughout his life instead of his parents.

So she waited for him to finish crying and asked again, "Are you willing to stay here?"

Ah Wu raised his eyelids and nodded.

This place is comfortable and spacious, the bed is soft, big and fragrant, and he can have three hot meals a day. How could he not want it?

Li Xi smiled and patted his head. "I will send you to a private school, so that you can learn to read and understand things like other children. You were a wild child before, but you had to learn a lot of things to make a living. Now that you are in the palace, you have to learn a lot. Are you willing?"

"I do!" Ah Wu pounded his head like crazy, his eyes gradually showing stars, but he quickly wiped away his tears and turned into a fascinated look.

He never thought that he would be able to have enough food to eat every day and even have books to read.

My grandmother had said countless times at night that she would have no regrets if someone was willing to adopt him. Now that my sister has taken him in, my grandmother will definitely be very happy!

He stuffed the jujube cake in his hand into his mouth and was eating it when Li Xi asked him not to move. There were tiny bugs crawling on Ah Wu's head, and the dense insect eggs were frightening to look at.

The maidservant next to him said, "Princess, don't touch it. His head is full of lice, which cannot be removed by rubbing! I wanted to shave his head, but he refused to do so, and it would not get clean no matter how hard I combed it."

"You should shave when it's time. It's spring now, so you can wear a hat and not feel stuffy after shaving. It will look ugly if you shave in the summer." Li Xiying said this to Awu.

Ah Wu lowered his eyes and struggled internally for a long time. Finally, he nodded, but saw someone entering the yard from outside, so he nervously hid beside her.

Li Xiying also heard the footsteps, and it was obvious that the sound had entered the door.

She turned around and saw her fourth uncle coming, so she smiled and said, "Fourth uncle, is there anything urgent?"

Li Jian looked at her and asked, "Where did you go yesterday?"

Li Xi knew that her fourth uncle came to care about her safety, but if she told the truth, it would only cause trouble to her fourth uncle and grandfather. The King of Liang was able to intercept and abduct the princess, so he must not be afraid of being exposed, let alone the so-called consequences.

Regardless of whether he can really cover the sky with one hand, I just need to be careful next time. The chaos caused by the princes is my grandfather's biggest concern, so how can I let my own affairs affect his judgment?

Li Zhen was still waiting for her to speak.

She laughed and said, "Yesterday... I was just too playful yesterday. I won't do it again next time."

He looked questioning, "Playful? The vendors close their shops after the sun sets. What can a woman like you do outside in the middle of the night? If anything goes wrong with you, how can I explain it to my brother?"

"I won't do it next time." Li Xiying knew that he was in the wrong and lowered his head helplessly.

Wei Yu stood up and said, "Your Highness, although there are not as many shops at night as during the day, it is customary that there is a corner with bright lights every few days. It is very lively and bustling there, which is commonly known as the ghost market. I have been there once, and it is normal for the princess to like it so much that she forgets to go back."

Li Xixiao and Wei Yu looked at each other, their gratitude overflowing with words. Only then did they realize that Wei Yu could actually talk and walk. They smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days. You look much better."

Wei Yu Youxian nodded slightly.

Li Xiying looked at his fourth uncle and was about to praise him for his excellent medical skills, but when he saw his still serious face, he lowered his head tactfully.

She pursed her lips and lowered her eyebrows, which seemed very aggrieved to Li Xuan. He could not bear to say anything more, and only said in a deep voice: "If you really want to go to the night market, how could your uncle not let you go? The world is not peaceful, and you don't even have a maid with you. How can your uncle not be worried?"

"Fortunately, everyone is safe." Wei Yu said as she walked up. "His Royal Highness Prince Xian was just worried that something might have happened to the princess, so he wanted to stop such frightening things in the future. I think the princess will not do that next time."

Li Xi nodded and whispered, "If we can go back to Luoyang, everyone will be happy and we won't be bored all day."

The fourth uncle, who was so imposing just now, lost his temper at this moment. "I was just about to tell you that the queen has confirmed the candidate for the prince consort. I'm afraid she will arrange a date for you to meet the prince consort."

After he finished speaking, he seemed to be wilted, and his eyes flickered.

Seeing Li Xixiao looking at him with half doubt and half belief, he couldn't help feeling ashamed.
