Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 255 Tea Master
A court lady came forward to help, Zhao Chengyan stretched out a hand lightly, and got up with the momentum.

Dignified and elegant, impeccable.

When he got up, he glanced inadvertently from the corner of his eye.

The sweet white glazed teacup, the emerald green tea soup, the slender and strong fingers, just one action of holding the cup is enough to make people thrilling.

Only when the sound of knocking on the table was heard casually, Zhao Chengyan recovered from the trance.

"I heard that Miss Zhao wants to see Gu?"

Although the voice was flat, it showed the prince's majesty.

Zhao Chengyan couldn't help being frightened in her heart, and replied tremblingly: "Yes..."

"Why?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, the courtier's daughter came here for family matters..."

Zhao Xiwei calmly watched her act.

There were tears on her face, she was three points dignified and seven points helpless, and she handled the kind of weakness that flaunts her strength very well.

"...My daughter is guilty... My sister didn't say anything, it was because my daughter was too scared that she shed tears."

After Zhao Chengyan finished speaking, she looked anxiously at His Highness the Crown Prince sitting above.

This look is not fake.

Li Xuanye's aura was extremely strong, but his face could not tell the slightest bit of happiness or anger, which inexplicably added another layer of unknown pressure.

Li Xuanye put down the teacup, glanced at Zhao Xiwei casually, and said one word: "Oh?"

Zhao Xi smiled, his eyes were light, and he didn't seem to want to speak.

Li Xuanye glanced at Zhao Chengyan: "Is that so?"

"Yes..." Zhao Chengyan bit her lips, and said, "...so please don't misunderstand my sister, Your Highness. Although my sister is stricter with her sisters, it's all for our own good... If it wasn't for my sister With good intentions, the courtesan will not be able to see His Highness the Crown Prince... Now that the Zhao family is in dire straits, I implore Your Highness to help me for the sake of my daughter's father!"

The beauty of these words lies in Zhao Chengyan's dignified and quiet demeanor.

If it was someone else, such as Zhao Chengyu, it would definitely not have such a good effect.

Not to mention that a man will choose to believe it, even Zhao Xiwei himself is about to doubt whether he is a vicious sister.

There was an imperceptible sarcasm on the corner of Zhao Xiwei's mouth.

Unexpectedly, his hand was suddenly grabbed gently from under the table.

The smile froze at the corner of her mouth. He was about to withdraw his fingers, but he pinched them even harder, and his fingertips were still gently scratching her palm.

"..." Her thoughts were interrupted, she raised her eyes and stared at it lightly.

His eyes rolled, ashamed and angry.

Li Xuanye let out a low laugh.

Zhao Xiwei could hear the playful meaning in the laughter, and gave another stern look.

Although Zhao Chengyan lowered her head, she had been paying attention to this side all the time, and all the small private actions of the two of them fell into view.

The eyelashes fell quickly, covering all the shock in the pupils.

Zhao Xiwei struggled a few times but couldn't pull out his hand, so he simply let him hold it, then coughed and reminded him in a low voice: "Your Highness, Sister Yan is still waiting for your reply."

Li Xuanye smiled.

The fingers pinching her were suddenly loosened, and his eyes swept over, as sharp and ruthless as quenched molten iron, and he ordered: "Come on!"

His Royal Highness, who was calm just now, showed a ruthless side in a blink of an eye.

Before Zhao Chengyan recovered, he saw two guards in brocade clothes and swords walking up.

Zhao Chengyu was so frightened that his body went limp, and he fell off the chair.

Sun's complexion changed drastically, and she knelt on the ground with a "plop": "Your Highness, calm down!"

Zhao Chengyan raised her head in a daze, and saw His Highness the Crown Prince's half-smile eyes, staring at herself coolly: "Zhao Chengyan, you are so brave!"

She only felt a chill oozing from her bones, and she couldn't care less about her previous dignified demeanor, she hurriedly knelt down on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty is stupid, I don't know what crime I committed, please tell me clearly!"

"Stupid?" Li Xuanye slightly raised his hand, and the two guards took a step back.

He twitched the corner of his mouth and said with a sneer: "I see that you are very smart, and you are implying that you have been wronged, and also reminding the lonely princess that she has a bad temper—or else you can just abolish the princess and replace her with you." how?"

"Your Highness!" Zhao Chengyan was scared out of her wits, "My lady, if you have such thoughts, you should be struck by lightning!"

After finishing speaking, he touched his forehead to the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

Zhao Xiwei watched with cold eyes, and the sarcasm at the corner of his mouth became more obvious.

If you like to kowtow, just kowtow enough!

"Okay!" Just when Zhao Chengyan felt warm liquid oozing from his forehead, the tall man finally waved his hand: "I'm not interested in knowing whether you have this thought. There's just one thing——"

"Gu doesn't like his own woman to be wronged the most. If anyone can't get along with Gu's woman, then he can't get along with Gu; if he can't get along with Gu, he can't get along with His Majesty——so, you can't count it as a crime of bullying the king. Have you passed?" After finishing speaking, he stared at her with a half-smile, "What do you think, Miss Zhao?"

Zhao Chengyan paralyzed: "Your Highness, spare me! My servant dare not!"

Li Xuanye stopped smiling, and called out in a deep voice, "Yuan Ce!"

"Subordinates are here!"

"Your Highness, spare me!" Zhao Chengyan yelled out, "I don't mean that, I just want to ask Your Highness for help, and I dare not bully the Crown Princess!"

"Miss Zhao!" Yuan Ce did not draw his sword, but handed over a letter with both hands.

"This..." Zhao Chengyan looked at him in shock, seeing his solemn face, she carefully cast her eyes on Zhao Xiwei.

After tossing around, she now understood that the only reliable person in the East Palace was her sister, whom she regarded as her enemy.

Zhao Xiwei watched coldly for a long time, Li Xuanye just wanted to vent her anger, how could she not see it.

Seeing it almost now, he smiled and asked, "What is this?"

Yuan Ce said solemnly: "Reporting to the Crown Princess, this is a letter from His Highness the Crown Prince to Prime Minister Zhao." Then he said to Zhao Chengyan, "Miss Zhao takes this back and the Zhao family's troubles will naturally be solved."

Zhao Xiwei's heart sank, and he looked at Li Xuanye with complicated eyes.

For some reason, she suddenly felt a little empty in her heart.

Li Xuanye didn't look at her, he just waved his hand and said: "Everyone back down."

……

After Zhao Chengyan and the others left, the bedroom suddenly became quiet.

Li Xuanye stretched out his hand to grab her, and pulled her into his arms, and said with a low laugh, "How is it? Is the princess in a better mood?" His tone was soft, and it sounded a little flattering to her.

Zhao Xiwei noticed that there were palace people outside the hall, and pressed his fingers on his chest to barely keep a little distance, a little startled: "Am I in a bad mood?"

"No?" Li Xuanye raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand to pinch her face, and said with a joking smile, "I don't know who kept sneering just now!"

Zhao Xi was taken aback for a moment, then touched his cheek: "Is it that obvious?"

To be honest, she was originally very annoyed that Zhao Chengyan made trouble secretly like this, but after being dealt with like this by Li Xuanye, she suddenly felt happier than ever.
