People in the Tang Dynasty, Jian'an style

When Li Wenbin got up in the morning and put on his clothes, she rushed to help him, but ended up putting his clothes on backwards;

She brought water to Li Wenbin to wash his face, but ended up splashing it all over Li Wenbin;

While Li Wenbin was eating breakfast, she stood there drooling. After asking, she found out that this Miss Wang came in too much of a hurry in the morning and didn't have time to eat.

Miss Wang was born into a wealthy family. Although she had experienced a hard time, that was only relatively speaking. She had always been surrounded by maids, so how could she do such serving work?

But Wang Wanrong didn't have this awareness, she rushed to do everything, but she couldn't do anything well. Not long after she arrived, she had already broken two flower pots, five vases and more than a dozen tea bowls.

What's even more annoying is that yesterday, because the weather was too hot, Li Wenbin wanted to take some ice to make some rock sugar mung bean soup to cool down. Miss Wang didn't know how to make soup, but the soup had to be chilled after it was cooked, so she rushed to the ice cellar to get ice. But the soup had cooled down by itself, and Wang Wanrong didn't bring the ice.

Li Wenbin felt something was wrong, so he ran to the ice cellar to take a look. He found that Miss Wang was squatting in the ice cellar in thin clothes, and she was almost frozen to death.

Frightened, Li Wenbin hurriedly carried the person back, and the person finally recovered after drinking two bowls of hot soup.

Later, Li Wenbin found out that this forgetful young lady was so eager to get ice from the ice cellar that she completely forgot about the temperature inside the ice cellar.

She felt cold only after she entered. Of course, it would not be too late for her to go back and get clothes, but the careless Wang Wanrong obviously overestimated her cold resistance. She thought that as long as she just got a piece of ice and came out quickly, nothing would happen. As a result, the consequence of this "nothing would happen" was that if Li Wenbin went later, she would really become an "iceberg beauty".

After listening to Wang Wanrong's explanation, Li Wenbin was almost furious. He had seen mentally retarded people, but no one as mentally retarded as her. Do you think you are the legendary martial arts master who is immune to cold and heat?

In a rage, Li Wenbin no longer cared about his status or Wang Hexuan's face, and for the first time ever, he scolded Wang Wanrong.

Miss Wang also knew that she was in the wrong, so she lowered her head pitifully and said nothing.

Although Li Wenbin scolded her, he still asked the imperial physician in the palace to take Wang Wanrong's pulse.

After making sure that nothing was wrong, he asked the imperial physician to prescribe a medicine to drive away the cold. Then he ordered people to send Wang Wanrong back to the palace and strictly ordered her to rest at home for a few more days.

But I didn't expect that she came again in the morning.

"Didn't I tell you to rest at home for a few days? Why are you here again?" Li Wenbin asked helplessly.

There was nothing I could do about this stubborn little girl, and I couldn't even get angry with her.

Chapter 140 Relying on

Wang Wanrong came in without saying a word. She picked up the fruit on the table and started peeling it. After peeling, she put it on a small plate.

After hearing Li Wenbin's question, she replied: "I'm fine to begin with. I'll be fine after taking some medicine and having a good sleep."

There seemed to be some resentment in Wang Wanrong's words. It seemed that she was angry with Li Wenbin. After all, he scolded her severely yesterday.

There seemed to be some resentment in Wang Wanrong's words. It seemed that she was angry with Li Wenbin. After all, he scolded her severely yesterday.

"Humph! Now that you're well, why don't you come and serve me some fruit? You're so clumsy, I really don't know what you can do?"

Seeing that she refused to admit her mistake, Li Wenbin couldn't help but feel angry and ordered in a harsh voice.

Originally, he promised Wang Wanrong that she could come and go freely in the mansion and had no intention of treating her as a maid.

But after she entered the mansion, she acted like a maid everywhere and rushed to serve Li Wenbin. I really don't know what she was thinking?

This was the first time that Li Wenbin gave orders to Wang Wanrong as a master, which made the little girl a little uncomfortable. She was stunned for a moment before she reacted.

He muttered something, walked to Li Wenbin with the plate, picked up a peeled fruit and put it next to Li Wenbin's mouth.

Li Wenbin opened his mouth to bite the fruit, but accidentally his lips touched Wang Wanrong's fingers. As a result, the little girl felt like she was electrocuted. Her whole body trembled and she quickly withdrew her arm, and her face turned a little red.

This was the first time she was so intimate with a man. The electric shock-like feeling just now made her feel embarrassed and annoyed, but she couldn't get angry at all. It felt very wonderful.

Li Wenbin found it interesting and felt a desire for revenge, so he simply opened his mouth and asked for more fruit.

Wang Wanrong blushed and hesitated for a moment. As a maid, doing these things was her job, so she could not refuse his request no matter what.

In desperation, Wang Wanrong picked up another fruit and put it next to Li Wenbin's mouth.

As a result, Li Wenbin went even further this time. He opened his mouth wide and bit her fingers as well, which almost made her collapse to the ground.

Ruyue and Jinxiu, who were standing next to him, were laughing at Li Wenbin's prank.

However, Wang Wanrong's sudden joining made both women feel threatened, so they instinctively rejected her.

Now seeing Wang Wanrong making a fool of herself, they felt a sense of revenge in their hearts, not to mention coming up to rescue her.

Seeing the playful smile on Li Wenbin's face and hearing the laughter of Wen'er and the other two girls, Wang Wanrong felt embarrassed and annoyed. She struggled to pull her finger out, and like a wounded rabbit, she rushed to the corner of the pavilion, her face flushed and she said in panic, "You...you should not go too far!"

"Huh? How did I bully you?" Li Wenbin opened his eyes wide and pretended to be innocent.

However, Wang Wanrong's strong reaction gave Li Wenbin an evil pleasure of teasing a decent girl.

He had always fantasized that one day he would bring dozens of lackeys to run rampant in Chang'an, drink a bowl of wine, spit it out, and then ask the boss to pay compensation.

When he saw a pretty girl, he walked up to her, lifted her chin with his fan, and said with a lewd smile, "What a pretty girl."

Most importantly, it would be best if I could meet a bad boy who wanted to snatch my woman from me at this time, so that I could wave my hand and scream, "Hit him!"

Then the thugs rushed forward and beat the other party to a pulp, while they walked towards the sunset holding the woman with her breasts bulging under the small floral cloth.

Wow, the artistic conception is so fucking beautiful!

"You..." Wang Wanrong was speechless for a moment. She couldn't say that you licking my fingers was bullying me, right?

Although she was much braver than most girls, she could not say such embarrassing words.

"Your Highness, have some fruit!" At this moment, Ruyue leaned against Li Wenbin, picked up a piece of fruit and fed it to Li Wenbin's mouth very intimately, then wiped the juice on the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, and did not forget to glance at Wang Wanrong provocatively.

"Hmph!" Wang Wanrong turned her head away with disdain, forcing herself not to look at Li Wenbin.

In fact, the reason why she stayed with Li Wenbin so persistently was not only to use herself as a hostage in exchange for Li Wenbin's trust in his father, but she also had a deeper plan.

Wang Wanrong had already reached the age for marriage. If it weren't for the Zhou family's breaking off the engagement, she might have been married long ago.

Now that the Wang family's situation has improved, there is an endless stream of people coming to propose marriage. Even the Zhou family shamelessly asked for a remarriage, but she and her father strongly rejected it.

Because of the Wang family's status as merchants, although there were many people proposing marriage, they were all from humble families. Most of them were also merchants, and the higher-ranking ones were just scholars from small families.

Wang Wanrong has very high standards, and these people are really not to her liking.

However, her mother was very excited and forced her to choose one of them every day so that she could marry her daughter off. Even Wang Hexuan, who had always loved her, was tempted. After all, her daughter was so old now, and if she didn't get married, she would really become an old maid.

Wang Wanrong learned business from her father since she was a child, and she was used to looking at everything from a business perspective.

In her opinion, she had to marry someone she didn't know anyway, and she could only hear the matchmaker's one-sided words about whether the other person was good or bad, and she couldn't get any guarantees at all. Instead of this, it would be better to marry someone from a higher family background and someone she knew better. The King of Qi was the only person who met this requirement.

Judging from Li Wenbin’s recent performance, His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi really trusts his father and is very generous to the Wang family.

Wang Wanrong's indirect understanding of Li Wenbin from her father also gave her a good impression of him. In addition, due to his noble status, marrying him was definitely the best choice compared to marrying those unfamiliar suitors from humble backgrounds.

However, given Wang Wanrong's identity as a merchant girl, she could forget about becoming a princess.

But in addition to a princess consort, the prince can also have two royal concubines and ten maids. The rest are concubines. Both royal concubines and maids have ranks.

It is impossible to be a concubine, but it is possible to be a maid. Considering how much Li Wenbin values ​​his father, if he really likes me, the position of a maid is almost certain.

Although the status of a concubine was not as high as that of a princess or a concubine, Wang Wanrong had her own support.

Chapter 141: Magic

Based on Wang Wanrong's analysis over the past few days, she found that Li Wenbin attaches great importance to business, which can be seen from his trust in his father.

Moreover, there is a lack of someone who can take control of the overall situation in Prince Qi's Mansion. Currently, all the industries of the Mansion are managed personally by Li Wenbin, but he lacks talent in this area and is unable to take care of the details when managing the affairs.

In addition, Li Wenbin is rather lazy and will only ask when he occasionally remembers it. He usually leaves it to his subordinates to handle. At first, nothing may be seen, but big problems will arise sooner or later.

However, managing industries happened to be her forte. Although she was only a concubine when she entered the palace, if she could be in charge of all the industries outside the palace, she believed that her status in the future would definitely not be worse than that of the princess.

Wang Wanrong was born a doer. She would do what she thought of. She went into Prince Qi's mansion on impulse. She had never told anyone about this, and even Wang Hexuan didn't know what his daughter was planning.

After entering the mansion, she tried her best to behave herself in order to attract Li Wenbin's attention.

But what she didn't expect was that although the plan was good, it was much more difficult to implement in practice.

She was simply not cut out to be a servant. Not only did she not help, but she also caused trouble for Li Wenbin everywhere. In the end, she almost lost her life and was scolded.

She wanted to win Li Wenbin's favor, but she didn't expect that she didn't get his favor, and instead felt very angry. This made Wang Wanrong cover herself in the quilt and cry for a long time after she was sent home yesterday.

She really didn't want to come to Prince Qi's Mansion this morning, but she felt a little unwilling, so she waited until almost noon, and then she reluctantly came here. She didn't expect to be flirted with by Li Wenbin as soon as she arrived.

Originally, on the first day of entering the palace, Wang Wanrong had already prepared herself mentally to serve the emperor in bed - after all, Li Wenbin brought several pretty maids such as Ruyue and Jinxiu with him every day, making everyone think that he was a lustful man, so it was normal for Wang Wanrong to think this way.

But what Wang Wanrong didn't expect was that after she went there for a few days, she found that although Li Wenbin usually joked with her, most of the time, he did not cross the line of defense between men and women.

He was extremely polite to her and never even touched her with his finger.

This discovery made Wang Wanrong feel depressed but also a little inexplicably surprised, and even a trace of inexplicable guilt in her heart.

A girl's mind is complicated by nature, and no one can understand it except herself.

But Wang Wanrong now found that she couldn't even figure out her own feelings for Li Wenbin.

Originally, she just wanted to trade her marriage as a commodity, and Li Wenbin was the best buyer. What seemed to her to be a very simple matter was now becoming more and more complicated out of control.

"Hey, what are you daydreaming about?" Just when Wang Wanrong turned her head to the side, thinking about something, suddenly a big hand waved in front of her eyes, and then Li Wenbin's big face appeared in front of her.

"Ah?" Wang Wanrong was lost in thought, but she didn't expect a head to suddenly appear in front of her. She was so scared that she couldn't help but scream.

Li Wenbin did not expect Wang Wanrong to react so strongly. He was caught off guard and trembled all over. He couldn't even hold the plate in his outstretched hand.

It fell to the ground with a bang and immediately turned into thousands of broken porcelain pieces of various sizes.

"Are you okay?" Although Li Wenbin was shocked, he was more worried about Wang Wanrong.

Just now he saw her standing there in a daze. His wine was almost finished, so he wanted to ask Wang Wanrong to get some drinks. However, he didn't expect that she didn't respond after he called her several times. He felt a little strange.

Could it be that this little girl’s brain was frozen yesterday?

So I went over to see if she was okay, but I didn't expect that she would scream when I asked.

"Oh, I... I'm fine!" Only then did Wang Wanrong see clearly that it was Li Wenbin standing next to her. Her face turned red unnaturally and she answered stutteringly.

"You were fine, but you screamed so loudly and scared us." Jinxiu beside Li Wenbin muttered in dissatisfaction.

Although Ruyue was somewhat repulsive to Wang Wanrong, she would not express her dissatisfaction in front of others.

Wang Wanrong knew she was in the wrong, so she quickly cleaned up the debris on the ground, and then got a pot of wine as Li Wenbin instructed.

However, this girl Jinxiu was obviously a bit unreasonable and always disliked Wang Wanrong.

She picked up the wine jug, then immediately put it down in dissatisfaction, saying, "The weather is so hot, the wine your Highness drinks must be chilled, how can it be served directly like this?"

"I, I'll go get some ice right away!" Wang Wanrong didn't know why, but ever since Li Wenbin flirted with her just now, her mind had been in a mess. She felt a little flustered when she saw Li Wenbin, and she was a little absent-minded in everything she did.

"Okay, Wanrong, you don't have to run anymore!" Li Wenbin looked at Wang Wanrong, who was sweating profusely, and stopped her with some soft-heartedness.

Flirting is flirting, but Wang Wanrong’s identity is different after all.

Yesterday he scolded her in a hurry and felt a little regretful afterwards. Now seeing her pitiful appearance, he felt even more reluctant.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Wang Wanrong didn't know what was wrong with her. She didn't dare to make eye contact with Li Wenbin. She lowered her head and bowed, then sat down and poured wine for Li Wenbin.

Since Li Wenbin had spoken, Jinxiu had nothing to say and just pouted to express her dissatisfaction.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the pavilion was a bit awkward, Ruyue suggested with a smile: "Your Highness, how about I ask someone to bring some ice? This wine tastes better when it's chilled."

Li Wenbin also noticed that the atmosphere was a little strange. When he heard her words, his eyes lit up. He thought of a good way to make the girl happy. He smiled mysteriously and then replied, "Ruyue, I heard that there is not much ice stored in the mansion, so don't waste the ice in the ice cellar. However, I have learned a spell of 'turning water into ice' from the immortals. How about I open your eyes today and make some ice to cool you down?"

Hearing Li Wenbin's words, Ruyue and Jinxiu's eyes lit up, but their faces were full of doubt. It was obvious that they did not believe that Li Wenbin had any magic spell to 'turn water into ice'.

Wang Wanrong, who was standing there in a daze, was also diverted by Li Wenbin's words. She temporarily put aside the messy thoughts in her mind and stared at Li Wenbin with bright eyes.

"Your Highness, you are not bragging, are you? I have seen the old immortal Yuan perform Taoist magic for Your Majesty in the palace. Although it was very magical, I have never heard that he can turn water into ice?" Jinxiu was bolder and asked directly.

At this time, Li Wenbin continued, "Don't worry, I can guarantee that Taoist Yuan will not be able to perform the magic that we performed today."

Chapter 142 Personal Experience

"Really?" Ruyue and Jinxiu expressed their doubts at the same time. Although they knew that their master was a very talented person, they still had some doubts.

After all, this fact is so unbelievable that it is hard to believe.

"Tsk, you guys wait here and don't come out. I'll go get ready and make some ice for you right away." Li Wenbin hated being doubted the most. After saying this to the three girls, he walked out of the pavilion.

Now Ruyue and the others were even more suspicious. They had never heard that any preparation was required to use magic.

Your Highness must be bragging again.

Li Wenbin went outside and called a waiting maid, whispered a few instructions to her, and then the maid hurried away. After a while, she returned with a package and handed it to Li Wenbin.

Li Wenbin found a hidden place to open it and took a look. He discovered that it was indeed the saltpeter he needed. This thing has been widely used in the Tang Dynasty. It can be found in pharmacies and dyeing workshops. He just asked the maid to get it from the imperial physician in the palace.
