After rebirth, the down-and-out concubine married the cold prince

Chapter 14

Chunhua watched from the side and silently rolled her eyes.Even she could tell that the crown prince was interested in this fluttering girl.It's worth the price, why hasn't she seen the prince so generous in his daily life.

However, as a slave, she only dared to slander her slightly.Just like that, Lu Ji asked why he was laughing.Chunhua didn't dare to say that she laughed at him as a fan of the authorities, so she just bowed and said, "I will go to the warehouse with Qiuyue to get the snow lotus."

Lu Ji nodded, looked at Liu Piaopiao, saw that her eyes were shining, and there was a big smile on her mouth.I couldn't help but feel a little better, so I started looking for something to say.

"How have you been?"

"pretty good."

Longjing tea has a long-lasting fragrance, but it is slightly bitter in the mouth.Liu Piaopiao was not used to drinking, Lu Ji noticed, and asked someone to serve a plate of pastries.

"Just eat."

Liu Piaopiao couldn't resist, and picked up a piece.The fragrance of the pastry dilutes the bitterness of the tea, and the aftertaste is lingering and unforgettable.

After all, it is the pastry of Donggong, which is more than one grade worse than the outside.

She boldly said: "Your Highness, I opened a wine shop outside."

"Oh? How's business?"

Liu Piaopiao scratched her head, a little shy.

"It hasn't started business yet, and now all the wine is sold from the winery. When I brew some myself in the future, I will sell what I made myself."

Liu Piaopiao leaned forward and asked excitedly, "Your Highness, do you like drinking?"

Lu Ji didn't answer her, just said: "You can try it."

He looked at the appearance of the woman in front of him, only up to the size of his chest.Thin arms and thin legs, thin and weak, it doesn't look like he can move a large vat of koji.

Liu Piaopiao's wine is probably only enough for those close to him to enjoy, so if you talk about drinking freely, you have to hold back your appetite.She wanted to fill the entire shop, but no matter how you looked at it, she was wishful thinking.

Lu Ji blew on the tea.The tea leaves circled leisurely.

"If you need help, you can find me."

"That's so embarrassing, Your Highness."

Lu Ji has helped her enough, how could he have the face to let this wealthy person worry about her wine shop.

Liu Piaopiao quickly waved her hands: "I'm too busy!"

Lu Ji looked at her even more amused, "I should have eaten your wine."

Liu Piaopiao bowed her head: "Those wines are not precious things. Your Highness likes me to send them to you every month."

She didn't dare to look up for a while, and always felt that a gaze fell on her.It made her face red, and it was difficult for her to breathe.

Chunhua Qiuyue has already brought the snow lotus, which is far from Liu Piaopiao's imagination.

Leaving Tianshan, the snow lotus is no longer fresh.Instead, it was dried in the sun, a small wrinkled yellow ball.

The shape is similar to the chrysanthemum tea brewed every autumn.

Liu Piaopiao opened her eyes wide, "Is this Snow Lotus?"

"En." Lu Ji held the snow lotus in his hands, and the fragrance spread out, but it was not strong at all, and he felt very quiet.Just smelling it makes me feel relaxed and happy, without any anger.

Liu Piaopiao took a deep breath, a little intoxicated: "It smells so good."

Qiuyue couldn't help interjecting: "This is Tianshan snow lotus, do you think the radish was dug out from some valley?"

She frowned, unable to understand why the prince would give such a precious snow lotus to Liu Piaopiao.Just rely on that beauty picture?
The gift giver almost broke through the threshold of the East Palace, and there are countless rare treasures.What is that beauty picture, why is it worth a snow lotus?

The more Qiuyue looked at Liu Piaopiao, the more she disliked her. She and Chunhua grew up with the prince since they were young.If it is said that they are close besides the empress, they are not favored by Lu Ji even so.Why is she?
Chunhua grabbed the aggrieved Qiuyue, and comforted her, "Don't offend His Highness, otherwise you will be the one who suffers if you can't come to serve me."

Qiuyue turned her head and looked at Chunhua and said nothing, this is the truth.Lu Ji has a cold temper, and if he doesn't like it, he will just drive her out of the palace.

Thinking of this, Qiuyue lowered her eyebrows.

"The slave has gone too far, please punish him, Your Highness."

Lu Ji ignored her, observing Liu Piaopiao's expression.The latter didn't panic as he imagined, but stretched out the tip of his pink tongue to lick the debris from the corner of his mouth.Then he looked at himself with a silly look on his face.Lu Ji knew that she was waiting for him to deal with it.

So he waved his hand, "Go down, and go to Director Wang to pay a month's salary."

Qiuyue bit her lip, full of grievances.But he could only accept the punishment reluctantly.

Only then did Lu Ji turn his gaze back: "I thought you would intercede for her."

Liu Piaopiao curled her mouth: "She is from the Eastern Palace, disrespecting the guests is slapping His Highness in the face. You deserve to be punished no matter what. Since I was offended by her, how can I repay the grievance with virtue."

Lu Ji looked sideways, and couldn't help re-examining Liu Piaopiao in his heart.This person looks cowardly and deceitful, but in fact, he is self-respecting and self-improving in his bones.

Thinking about it, yes, I met her a few times and she didn't take advantage of her.

But chatting with Liu Piaopiao is very interesting.

Lu Ji has been quite annoyed recently, the emperor and empress pressed him so hard that he must get married within this year.He doesn't want to marry the concubine appointed by the royal family, well, he can choose by himself, right?
But isn't he still one of those people who picks and chooses?

"Who do you think is the most suitable candidate for the crown princess?"

Liu Piaopiao choked, she remembered something.In his previous life, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had been sick since summer in order not to get married, until the winter was so severe that he couldn't get out of bed.Batch after batch of imperial physicians entered the East Palace, entering with high spirits and coming out dejectedly.

After several meetings, the imperial physicians came to a conclusion that the prince's illness had to rest and he could not get close to women.Otherwise, it is easy to fall short.After two years of delay, His Majesty passed away, and the Crown Prince recovered from his illness.Then he took in two concubines with clean family backgrounds, and after having an heir, he devoted himself to state affairs, and he was called a model worker.

Liu Piaopiao looked at Lu Ji who was calm and breezy, and asked, "Your Highness, you really don't want to get married, do you?"

Lu Ji said: Ah, why did you see the expression.

He pretended to be confused with understanding: "How is Liu Wenlan?"

Liu Piaopiao sat up straight, shook her head slowly and earnestly.

"The queen is my aunt. If the second sister becomes the crown princess, then the Liu family will have too much power. Foreign relatives intervening in politics has always been the thing that those in power care about the most. Moreover, your highness is not stable, so it is easy to be dragged nose go."

Liu Piaopiao knew that this was what Lu Ji wanted to hear.She swallowed her saliva: "If you say that the most suitable candidate, Bai Ziyan, the daughter of Shang Shuling, is the most suitable. The Bai family has been a loyal minister for generations and has no son. Although there is a Xuzhou governor in the side line, it is far away from the court. It’s not as intricate as the Liu family.”

Lu Ji looked at Liu Piaopiao and found that he underestimated her again.

"You don't think about yourself at all."

Liu Piaopiao sighed, Liu Yirong had a big appetite, and sooner or later he would suffer from indigestion.

"Keeping a low profile is the way to survive."

"So you also think Liu Yirong is too presumptuous?"

Lu Ji lightly dropped a word, and Liu Piaopiao was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

"He is very close to King Qin, do you think he wants to depose the prince?"

Cold sweat dripped down, very itchy.

"How could it be, father, he is a loyal supporter of His Highness."

Lu Ji just smiled: "Don't be nervous, I just said it casually."

What you say casually is going to scare people to death.

"Actually, it doesn't matter who you marry."

Because when you turn your face, you don't recognize people.

Lu Ji filled Liu Piaopiao with tea: "I still like my uncle's daughter."

The corner of Liu Piaopiao's mouth twitched: "Then I will congratulate Second Sister."

Lu Ji didn't speak, noncommittal.
