Chapter 496 Salt the Wound
"Zhao Ziyi!" Li Xuanye called out fiercely, almost laughing angrily at the irrational words, "Are you going to be ashamed?"

The corner of Zhao Ziyi's mouth froze: "If Wei'er can get better, it's okay if Weichen's old face is not needed..."

A guard in brocade clothes came in quietly, bowed in front of the case and bowed: "Your Highness..." He called out softly, and glanced at Zhao Ziyi who was at the side.

Zhao Ziyi lowered her eyelids, put her hands on her knees, and smoothed out the wrinkles on the official uniform slowly.

For the sense of presence, he has reached the point of perfection.

"Say." I heard His Royal Highness say a word next to my ear.

The guard's voice was a bit awkward, and he said after deliberation: "His Royal Highness, the Crown Princess is here, and she has been waiting outside the palace for half an hour, you see..."

Zhao Ziyi looked up in astonishment.

Wei'er coming to Lizheng Hall? !How can this be the place where she can come!
Could it be that you are anxious after hearing about him?

Why is this child so impulsive——

Recalling the scene that happened just now, Li Xuanye grabbed his collar, and the murderous aura floating around his body was enough to show that the prince was in a fit of anger... Wei'er came here now, didn't he hit the muzzle of a gun!
With a flash of thought, Zhao Ziyi glanced, and saw His Highness the Crown Prince frowned.

He was anxious and subconsciously said, "Your Highness..."

The two words were still on his lips, and His Royal Highness's tone sank: "Why don't you let her in?"

"This..." Yuan Ce was at a loss for words, and couldn't help muttering in a low voice: "This is the Palace of Lizheng...the guards wouldn't dare to let anyone in without your order..."

"Okay!" His Royal Highness raised his hand, interrupting his rambling: "It's cold outside, let her in!"

Although the voice was still a bit displeased, it was much calmer than before.

Zhao Ziyi frowned, and couldn't help looking at His Royal Highness a few more times.

This kid, when did he talk so easily?
Is it pretend?Deliberately to confuse him?
While he was thinking, he heard the sound of footsteps ringing behind him.

"Your Highness!" The voice was unhurried, like a spring breeze blowing over green leaves, giving off a sunny warmth, "I brought new tea and pastries, do you want to try them?"

As soon as Zhao Ziyi turned her head, she saw Zhao Xiwei stepping into the hall with her skirt lifted.

She took off the fox fur hat she was wearing on her head, revealing a shiny and smooth little face, her cheeks were a little red from the cold, like newly blooming peach blossoms, and her almond eyes were slightly curved like two crescent moons. , those eyes were glued to His Highness the Crown Prince like honey, and he didn't even give him a straight look.

Where is the slightest hint of coming here for him?

Zhao Ziyi pursed the corners of her lips, and swallowed the "Wei'er" with great difficulty.

His Royal Highness caught a glimpse of the gloomy look on the father-in-law's face, and was immediately relieved, but still felt that it was not enough. He stretched out his hand, hooked it slightly, and said with a smile: "Wei'er came just in time! The prime minister talked with Gu about state affairs for half a day, and he must have been hungry long ago." -"

Then a maid brought up the food box.

Zhao Xi rolled up his sleeves slightly, took out the cakes with his own hands, and placed the dishes on the table. Finally, he lifted a small silver jug ​​with inlaid patterns, poured a cup of tea from a small jasper cup, and said with a smile: "Today's wind The snow is just right, take the fine snow from the plum blossoms, cook it together with orange peel and roses, try it, Your Highness, how does it taste?"

From the beginning to the end, Zhao Ziyi was not mentioned.

Li Xuanye smiled, took the tea and placed it on the tip of his nose to sniff lightly, but he was not in a hurry to taste it, but looked up at Zhao Xiwei.

She wore a red cloak, a circle of fluffy white fox fur around her shoulders, and a pair of pearl earrings on her earlobes. The round and bright pearls swayed gently by her cheeks, reflecting the piece of nephrite jade. It looks like a slender neck, shining brightly, and it is more spotless than the white snow under the moon.

As early as when she stepped into the palace, most of his anger had gone.

But now the fragrant tea dessert, the beauty smiled, and the remaining embers of fire dissipated without a trace.

but--

How could His Royal Highness forgive others so easily?

He raised his eyebrows, looked at Zhao Ziyi suddenly, and said with a spring breeze on his face: "Such a good tea, should be shared with the prime minister, but Wei'er only prepared this one..."

Zhao Ziyi's brows darkened.

No matter how Wei'er neglects the old man, she is still the old man's daughter!Do you need to sprinkle salt in the wound, kid?

Hehe let out a dry laugh, and calmly cupped his hands: "Your Highness, drink more if you like it. Before Wei'er got married, he made a few cakes of good tea for Weichen. Even if Weichen drinks it every day and every month, it's enough to drink. In the past few years... Your Highness can enjoy this tea alone!"

"Oh?"

His Highness the Crown Prince chuckled, and felt his hands itch.

Although it's not the first time he has done this kind of thing like drinking together, but he can't ignore Wei'er's feelings at all...

She has very strong self-esteem and has a clear sense of boundaries. If Zhao Ziyi is so angry with her, she might ignore him when she goes back. In the end, the gain outweighs the loss.

He held back a few times before he resisted the idea of ​​bringing the teacup to the beauty's lips.

The warm tea enters the mouth, the lips and teeth are fragrant, the tip of the tongue is full of the smell of roses and oranges, and a touch of tenderness immediately fills the heart.

Looking at his expression slightly, Zhao Xi knew it was almost done, so he gently picked up the silver chopsticks, picked up a soft and sticky jade dew ball, and brought it to his lips: "This is only made in the kitchen. I feel like eating it." It's delicious, I can't bear to finish it all, so I specially reserved these two for His Highness!"

Li Xuanye's eyes flashed, and the tails of his eyes slightly raised, quite surprised.

Zhao Xiwei's hand was still stretched out like this, with a smile in his eyes, just waiting for him.

Li Xuanye sighed slightly in his heart.

He was determined to frustrate Zhao Ziyi, and at the very least he would punish him in private.

If she came up and pleaded for Zhao Ziyi, he really might not agree.

But she didn't say anything, and put on an attitude of severing friendship with Zhao Ziyi, only thinking of him...

He really couldn't bear it for a while...

So, just being served by the beauty, eating a few pastries and drinking two cups of tea, seeing Zhao Ziyi's face as dark as the bottom of a pot, he almost knelt down on the spot to remonstrate, His Royal Highness Waving his sleeves, he said softly, "The Prime Minister is also tired, that's all for today, let's step down first!"

"Yes—" Zhao Ziyi glanced at her daughter again, and seeing that she still refused to give him half a look, her aggrieved heart was about to explode.

Today the prince is only suspicious, and he has murderous intentions. If something really happens in the future, I'm afraid...

Looking at the appearance of Wei'er's diligent young daughter, it is clear that she has shown affection for the prince.

The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became, but he was full of worries, but he couldn't say a word.

"Wei'er—" Even so, he still softened his voice, and called softly to that pear-like white side face.

Zhao Xiwei was holding a ball of glutinous rice cake when his arm suddenly became stiff.

She didn't turn her head, nor did she respond, but the flash of helplessness on her face still fell into Li Xuanye's eyes.
