Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 869 No favors owed
Li Yiwei had a serious face, but Ji Wuyan looked like his left ear was going in and the right ear was going out. Hearing the words, he pointed outside and asked, "Are you still... kneeling?"

His nonchalant look was similar to Bai Xing's.

No wonder these two people get along very well - Li Yiwei thought this and glanced at Ji Wuyan unhappily... Are you still kneeling? At this point, no matter whether he kneels or not, this matter seems like a joke. He is obviously a proud person to the core. He originally thought that he would not be willing to kneel in public, but he doesn't care about the eyes of others at all.

But when he waved his hand and said, "Don't kneel down, I promise you," but he felt that his diaphragm was tight, just like the feeling of a noble prince being led by a little girl... so he supported his chin with one hand. He nodded to the outside with one hand and said softly, "Since the girl said that this king should have a way to be a king, then the most important thing is to keep his word... Go ahead." After saying that, he put his fist to his lips and coughed.

Ji Wuyan just nodded lightly, walked to the door and knelt down neatly.

Ji Wuyan is not a stranger in the Bai family. The old lady likes her and receives her as a distinguished guest when she comes to the house. Miss Ji has a good temper, and the servants bring tea and water. She turns her head and smiles to thank her. Her smile is gentle, beautiful and kind. The graceful and softness that is unique to Jiangnan girls is very popular among them. Now I suddenly saw the little girl kneeling there with her back straight outside the living room. I was surprised and curious, but I didn't say anything too much. After all, the person sitting here should be Prince Pingyang.

Although both sides are masters, one is a serious member of the Bai family, royal family and princess, Miss Ji... is incomparable. Therefore, the servants I met along the way kept silent and did not dare to discuss it too much, let alone bring this matter to their masters to make it a big deal. It's just a matter of kneeling down to the prince, it's nothing.

Less than half a stick of incense, snow began to fall from the sky.

Li Yiwei sat in the room with a warm cup of hot tea. He didn't drink a sip. He just stared silently and awkwardly at the yard. He had been kneeling in the yard for so long. Except for the movement of his hair, he didn't even move his eyes. He looked like a statue. Ji Wuyan... The snow came earlier than he expected. He wanted to wake her up, but he was still a little bit inexplicably unwilling to do so. So he squirmed and stood in a stalemate, watching the other party kneeling on the ground. In the snowier days.

Li Yiwei knew better than Ji Wuyan the feeling of the cold winter wind carrying snowflakes on his face. It was a cold and stinging feeling like a knife blade close to the skin.

In order to keep their skin delicate, most ladies from aristocratic families will not go out in such weather. Even if I had to go out, I would wear a beautiful and warm cloak to block the wind. The servants would hold an umbrella in front of me, so I could not get wind or snow. Li Yiwei thought that Ji Wuyan, who was used to the mild climate in the south of the Yangtze River, could not stand this kind of weather. At this moment, as long as she spoke, even if it was just a simple word, he would use the steps to go down.

Unexpectedly, the calculation failed.

Ji Wuyan was kneeling there, gentle and calm, as if he didn't feel any shame in kneeling here like this... The snow was getting heavier and heavier. Seeing that it was still a long time before the promised stick of incense was left, Li Yiwei stood up quickly and took a few steps. Before reaching the steps, he ordered with a calm expression, "You... that's all, get up!"

Unexpectedly, the little girl did not stand up immediately, nor did she thank him for his "high gesture". She only raised her head and asked Li Yiwei, "So, does the prince agree to the three conditions of the common girl?" Conditions, conditions, conditions again! Li Yiwei really didn't know how a good little girl could suddenly lose her mind at this juncture. The opening of the imperial mausoleum is a major event that shakes the foundation of the country for those stubborn old ministers! At this moment, he could still think of the old stubborn people kneeling down to remonstrate. After a long while, after careful consideration, they still waved their hands and shouted at Ji Wuyan almost angrily, "Okay, okay! I promise you that! I promise!" The king promised you! Get up, it’s an eyesore!”

We were talking about business politely, but we didn't expect that it would turn out like this in the end, and even I would become childish and irritable... Just as I was thinking about it, I looked up and saw Ning Xiuyuan standing not far away. There was an icy chill that was stronger than the wind and snow on Mr. Ning's face. Li Yiwei was slightly startled. He looked at Ji Wuyan who was slowly getting up in front of him, and he suddenly understood where the chill came from.

"I..." Li Yiwei's heart trembled, and he subconsciously said to himself, "No!"

Ji Wuyan, who was half-rising, felt her feet go limp. Before she could stabilize her body, a hand was already supporting her arm. Li Yiwei felt an afterimage flash before his eyes, and the man who was only a dozen steps away had appeared. He stood next to Ji Wuyan, supported the little girl, and carefully put on the hat on her cloak, tying the belt with gentle and appropriate movements.

His movements were infinitely gentle, but his face looked dark as he wanted to kill someone. Li Yiwei opened his mouth again, but no words came out - he always felt that explaining at this time was more like trying to cover up, but it was indeed him who made Ji Wuyan kneel, so thinking about it, he felt that there was no explanation. necessary.

So, he stood silently, clenching his back teeth subconsciously - Sure enough, if he got involved with Ji Wuyan, things would inevitably become troublesome. Just now, Bai Xing almost had sex with him right here. There was a quarrel, and in the end, probably because of his status as the prince, he became angry with a cold face.

Ji Wuyan was completely unaware of this atmosphere and asked somewhat unexpectedly, "Why are you here?"

Ning Xiuyuan tied it and put it on, then pushed the brim of her hat down, and then said, "I knew you were coming today, so I thought I would pick you up and have a meal with you... I heard that a restaurant opened in the city. , cooking Jiangnan cuisine is the best, I will take you to try it..."

Before he finished speaking, he turned to look at Li Yiwei. His voice was obviously a little deeper, and he said slightly, "It's just... I don't know how my little girl offended His Highness the County Prince. He actually asked her to kneel in the courtyard in such ice and snow." Punished? If I remember correctly, she is here to discuss business and cooperation. "

Li Yiwei opened his mouth, and suddenly felt a little ridiculous - look at how this was done! She didn't get any benefits, so why did she seem to be bullying her now? Ji Wuyan? He nuzzled at Ji Wuyan and said angrily, "You can speak for yourself."

Ji Wuyan shook Ning Xiuyuan's arm, "It doesn't matter...it doesn't count as punishment. I volunteered, so it's better than being owed favors. Third brother, you know, I don't like to be owed favors, let alone the prince's. It’s not easy to repay a favor.” After saying that, he smiled.
