Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 136
Li Xuanye stared at her lightly, she had a pair of bright and clear almond eyes, and when she spoke, her eyes moved slightly, showing a kind of tenderness from the inside out.

This kind of tenderness does not exist to please anyone, nor is it born to pretend to be oneself.

It doesn't look fragile, on the contrary, it reveals a kind of firm strength.

It is the wind passing through the sky, the rain flying to the earth, and the morning dew on the jasper lotus leaves.

As if he was afraid that he would be too indulging in the scenery in front of her eyes, Li Xuanye suddenly cast his gaze out of the window.

He looked at the rain scene outside, and said: "Actually, Gu has no interest in meddling with you and Jiangxia Palace. Gu just thinks that you, a boudoir girl, can't face the current turbulent situation. Too much to worry about."

Seeing that he was willing to back down, Zhao Xiwei withdrew his edge: "What is your Highness talking about? How can I sit here and talk to you properly without His Highness's care?"

When it's time to fight for your own interests, you should naturally fight for it with confidence, but when it's time to give others a step, you should also give it decently and generously.

Although Li Xuanye's temperament is difficult to figure out, but his heart is very open and clear. Seeing Zhao Xiwei being so obedient and showing weakness at this time, most of the unhappiness in his heart has dissipated.

However, he still had that majestic and indifferent look on his face, and asked: "Since you want to be independent so much, then you have a mature plan. If you are rewarded with a little property, can you manage it?"

Zhao Xiwei was stunned again.

Today's anomalies followed one after another, making her feel that her brain was running out.

She did have a secret plan, but she never made it clear to anyone. How did he guess it?

Seeing her puzzled face, he explained briefly: "I heard from Qiao An of Honglu Temple that you know how to make tea. The tea served yesterday at Hucao Tangheng seems to be from your handicraft."

There was no direct praise, but this sentence was already a great affirmation.

Zhao Xiwei hurriedly bowed to express his thanks, said a few words of humility, and then smiled and said, "It was just a mistake. At that time, it was just to help Mrs. Qiao in an emergency, and I didn't think so much."

The man in front of her is too elusive, so she won't show him all her hole cards just because he rewards her!

"Beside Zhuque Avenue, near Honglu Temple, there are several shops there, you can choose one." Li Xuanye said lightly, and looked at her again, "Although it is an isolated property, it has always been managed by Yuan Ce. If it’s not convenient for you to show up, you can still order him to do some things.”

"..." Zhao Xiwei didn't dare to answer for a while.

Yuan Ce is Li Xuanye's confidant, even if she had 1 guts, she wouldn't dare to command her.

"Thank you, Your Highness. It's just that the courtiers are not rewarded for nothing. Such kindness, I am ashamed to accept it..."

Suzaku Street, Honglu Temple, and the shops in this location are existences that she never dared to dream of.

Although this reward is very tempting, she knows that there is no free pie in the world. If what falls down is a discus, how can she, a weak woman, afford it?

But to refuse the prince's reward is to refuse his face and to challenge the majesty of the prince.

Zhao Xiwei was in a dilemma, so he looked at his father helplessly: Wasn't it just for disaster relief at first?

Zhao Ziyi was so angry that she was about to suffer internal injuries, but there was nothing she could do.

Fame is important to women, but one cannot force a daughter to marry a man she does not like for the sake of so-called fame.

Wei'er has made it clear that he doesn't want to, so how can he continue to insist as a father.

That's all, since the prince can offer substantial compensation, why don't you know how to accept it?

After coughing, Zhao Ziyi bowed his hands without changing expression and heartbeat: "Wei Chen thanked Your Highness on behalf of the daughter." As she said, she nodded slightly at Zhao Xi, "Wei'er, with your talent, father believes that you will be able to see me soon." Can run a prosperous business."

Zhao Xiwei had no choice but to stand up and thank her.

The Zhao family helped Li Xuanye solve Jizhou's emergency, and Li Xuanye rewarded her with a shop, which seemed reasonable.

It's just that she always feels that something is wrong, and that's all?
Seeing her overly cautious look, Li Xuanye added: "It's not a free gift, it's a free lease. If you can't manage it within a year, the orphan will send someone to take it back."

Zhao Xi breathed a sigh of relief.

Since it's a loan, it's even less of a great kindness.

"Then the servant girl can only be respectful rather than obedient." She smiled knowingly, with a bright and confident light in her eyes, and said openly: "The servant girl must work hard to ensure that she will live up to the grace of Your Highness."

Li Xuanye nodded slightly, an imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

His eyebrows were extremely delicate, but because his aura was too stern and majestic, people dare not look at him easily.

Such a person who gives people endless pressure, inadvertently burst into a smile, like a firework blooming in the dark night sky, radiant, but fleeting.

Anyone who has seen this moment will feel like a lifetime away.

Zhao Xiwei just felt that his heart was suddenly empty.

"One more thing." Li Xuanye's eyes darkened slightly, and his voice subconsciously sank a little: "Ruogu's guess is right, Princess Jiangxia should visit you again soon—you have to let go of this matter." In heart, don't take it as a child's play."

Zhao Xi nodded slightly: "I know how to do it."

Since Li Xuanye rewarded her with a shop, he tacitly allowed her to delay the engagement—even though this engagement did not exist.

He took a deep look at her: "Recently, the queen mother has made frequent moves, all of which are aimed at your Zhao family, especially you. I think you have already understood that the Jiangxia palace is very important to the queen mother. So, if you can handle it The good relationship with the princess is to increase my bargaining chip."

Zhao Xi was silent for a while.

I said in my heart, isn't that because you insist on pushing me to the palace?

If you hadn't proposed marriage with His Majesty, would the Empress Dowager be able to stare at me like this?

Now you have transformed into a good person who helped me...

It's just that she can only keep these words in her stomach, and she still has a respectful look on her face: "I remember."

"However." Li Xuanye changed the subject, "If you really can't handle it, you don't have to fight for self-esteem. You can leave it to your father to handle it."

Zhao Ziyi sipped her tea, and when she heard this, she almost choked to death with a sip of tea—you little fox, after the calculation, Weier, you still have to ask me, a father, to clean up the mess myself! ?
With a cold smile in his heart, he responded with a pun: "Your Highness, please remind me that Wei'er is my daughter, and it is my duty to protect her."

Li Xuanye nodded, and the corners of his lips curled up, seeming to be infinitely gratified: "Prime Minister can think this way, Gu can feel at ease."

Then he looked at Zhao Xiwei, and said with all caring heart: "Don't worry about causing trouble to your father. With the prime minister's strategy, there is no major event in the world that can stop him."
