Prince please enthrone

Chapter 539 Competition②

"My lord, will the servant girl serve you something to eat?"

"roll!"

"My lord, how about the servant girl feeding you some soup?"

"This king said to get lost, everything should be lost to this king, didn't you hear that?!"

There was the sound of tables and chairs being toppled and dishes shattering in the house, and soon, several graceful and beautiful maids were driven out together.

Ye Lizhi, who was carrying the snacks she just brought from the kitchen, sighed helplessly.

It seems that Prince Xiao is very angry this time, even his favorite beauty can't comfort him anymore.

Several beautiful maidservants stood at the door for a while.

Although it was wronged to be scolded for no reason, King Xiao had always been very kind to them, so no one complained.

Instead, Yin Yin, who was full of worries, looked towards the door, for fear that King Xiao would accidentally get angry and get sick, or if he was not careful, he would starve himself to get sick.

When someone saw Ye Lizhi standing not far away with a tray, he kindly made a 'shh' gesture and reminded in a low voice:
"Sister, it's best not to go in now, the prince is angry, and no one wants to see her."

"Thank you for reminding me, miss."

Ye Lizhi thanked him with a smile, looked down at the steaming, fragrant and sweet delicate snacks, and felt that it would be a great sin not to enjoy them now.

She stepped up and walked unswervingly towards the house.

The servant girl who reminded her hastily stopped her, and was about to say a few more words when Ye Lizhi said softly:

"Miss, don't panic. Since I dare to go in, I must have a way to appease the prince's anger."

The maid was taken aback, and looked at her in disbelief.

After thinking about it, I felt that when the prince was most angry, he would just hang him in a sack and beat him a few times. No one was killed at all, so he had to let her go.

Hearing footsteps coming from behind, the sulking Prince Xiao shouted impatiently like a child:

"Didn't this king say that now, this king doesn't want to see anyone, so give it to me—"

"Is the prince bothered about the competition recently? If so, the servant has a plan. I wonder if the prince is willing to condescend and listen to the servant?"

The gentle and soft voice was charming but not flattering, soothing and pleasant to the ear, Xiao Wang suddenly turned his head, and sure enough, he saw a quiet and outstanding little beauty in the shining sun slanting in from the window.

"You, what did you just say?"

Ye Lizhi didn't answer him in a hurry, but talked about the past with eloquence:
"The first time I saw Prince Xiao, I was in the market and was being bought and sold. At that time, King Xiao rode his horse under the moonlight, full of vigor and demeanor, which made people yearn for him. In the hearts of slaves, King Xiao should be Such a person should not be burdened by any mundane things, spread his wings and fly freely, that is the true nature of a filial king. Is the prince right to see what the slaves said?"

King Xiao's tightly locked brows loosened, and the irritability and anger of the past few days melted away a lot.

"Your little mouth is as sweet as honey."

The good words moistened the ears, and Xiao Wang was in a good mood, and obviously he also had a bit of interest in molesting the women of the people.

Ye Lizhi smiled modestly, and said: "This servant is telling the truth. As for the competition... If the prince wants to hear it, he only needs to agree to one condition."

"What conditions?"

King Xiao leaned back, raised his chin slightly, and looked at Ye Lizhi with disdain, waiting for her to propose some conditions such as wanting gold, silver and jewelry, silk and satin, or more greedy conditions.

But I didn't expect the other party's answer to be to push the tray in his hand forward, and said with a smile:

"The condition of the servant girl is - please ask the prince to finish these few plates of snacks."

Xiao Wang was stunned, and the frivolous expression on his face froze in an instant.

Fearing that the other party might misunderstand something—for example, someone might have tampered with this point, Ye Lizhi hurriedly explained:

"The maidservant just accidentally heard the voice of the prince scolding the ladies and sisters outside, and learned that the prince didn't seem to eat anything, so she dared to put forward such unreasonable conditions, and hoped that the prince would forgive me..."

"What's your fault?"

King Xiao finally came back to his senses, and asked back with a smile.

He also thought that she was the kind of person who loves vanity...

He has lived tremblingly since he was a child, bathed in the love of his father and the emperor, and the open and secret struggles and conspiracies of various people, thinking that he has seen through all living beings long ago.

But today, there was a person who made him unable to see through.

The strange thing is that he didn't feel flustered, on the contrary... he still felt warm in his heart, and the long-lost touch came to his heart. The clouds opened and the sun rose, and the comfort and coziness of being surrounded by the warm sun filled his body.

King Xiao stretched out his hand and said, "Bring it."

"what?"

"Those plates of snacks, don't you want me to eat them all?"

"Oh yes……"

Ye Lizhi hurriedly stepped forward, and placed the tray on a small table next to King Xiao, which was fortunately not affected by the anger.

After a few mouthfuls, King Xiao stuffed all the unappetizing snacks into his belly.

He picked up the teapot, gulped down a few sips of tea, swallowed it, let out a long breath, threw it away, and raised his sleeve to wipe his mouth boldly and said:

"Is it finally okay to say it now?"

Ye Lizhi, who didn't expect the other party to cooperate so much, was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, nodded and said:

"Yes. Regarding the matter of the holy order for you to compete with Prince Liang, what is the situation? Can you trouble the prince to explain it to the servant again? The servant can also prescribe the right medicine."

"it is good."

King Xiao got up, put his hands behind his back, walked back and forth casually, and said:

"The emperor gave us a month's preparation time, and asked us to send out 1000 people each. After one month, we will have a competition in the martial arts field. After the competition, whichever side has the most people standing will be considered the winner."

Ye Lizhi pondered: "These 1000 people must be selected from the most elite group in the army."

"That's natural."

"May I ask how confident the prince is in this competition?"

King Xiao rubbed his chin, guessing:
"Three points. After all, the second brother is a martial arts practitioner. He must have his own set of magic weapons when he trains people. In addition, he can train his own army openly, but I can't. Fortunately, I have my own people who can Do it on your behalf, so you can still have a three-point certainty."

Ye Lizhi asked with a smile: "Then, does the King of Liang have special treatment for those with high martial arts skills?"

"This..." Xiao Wang raised his eyebrows, obviously he didn't understand why she asked this question, but he still answered honestly:
"No. If it weren't for the second brother's status as a royal nobleman, I'm afraid I would have eaten, slept, and lived with the people in the army. He doesn't like rich clothes and fine food, and prefers rough guys who don't care about anything. Therefore, Those who are valued by him are, at most, promoted to ranks and rewarded with some gold, silver and jewelry. As for special treatment and so on, there is absolutely no such thing."
