stern wife

Chapter 59 Let's Bet
"I don't know what sincerity your Highness wants?"

King Li lowered his head and touched the little snake wrapped around his arm, and said slowly:

"Kneel down to me, kowtow three times, I will give you the blueprint, and I will never break my promise."

Thinking that after slapping him for no reason and almost killing him, he would be able to escape unscathed?Don't be so naive, this little girl.

Hearing this, Pei Runzhi's expression changed violently, he grabbed Pei Xiaoran's arm, and said:
"Don't kneel! Our holy majesty has a big heart, even if you can't find it, he will definitely not blame you. You don't have to bow your knees to anyone just to get that jade pendant back."

Li Wang clicked his tongue and seemed to be talking to himself:

"I don't know who boasted in front of Emperor Xuan, saying that within three days, I will definitely get back the jade pendant of this king... Looking at it now, I am afraid that Emperor Xuan will be disappointed~"

Pei Xiaoran really wanted to take advantage of this matter to hug the golden thigh of the Holy Majesty, she thought for a while, then raised her hand and slowly pressed down Pei Runzhi's hand that was holding onto her arm.

Pei Runzhi was startled, and Pei Yuxuan also frowned fiercely.

Just when everyone including Li Wang thought that Pei Xiaoran was really going to kneel, Pei Xiaoran smiled at Li Wang, and then said with a stern face:
"dream."

Just kidding, if she really knelt down, the Holy Majesty would not only be greatly disappointed, but even furious!

After all, King Li is the king of Great Yin, not Suzaku's king. Even if Great Yin is powerful, Suzaku doesn't want to be servile. Her kneeling down is equivalent to losing face to Suzaku.

Li Wang Xiu raised his eyebrows, narrowed his eyes, and his eyes were not friendly.

Pei Xiaoran didn't feel any fear at all, and continued:
"However, I can make a bet with you, Prince Li."

"What bet?"

"You give me the blueprint, if I find the jade pendant within three days, I don't want any benefits, but if I can't find the jade pendant within three days, I will agree to one of your requests, except those that violate the law and human ethics Other than that, feel free to ask for any other requests, and I will not refuse."

"Xiaoran!" Pei Yuxuan frowned and called her, feeling that this bet was too much for her sister.

Pei Xiaoran turned around, gave him a comforting smile, and said:
"Third brother, don't worry, I have my own measure."

However, after hearing the bet that was only beneficial to him and not harmful to him, Li Wang did not immediately agree, but looked thoughtfully at the little girl not far in front of him.

This bet sounds like a profit. After all, the jade pendant he lost seems to be of great value. No matter who picks it up, he will not hand it over easily. This little girl will definitely lose.

However, even if she loses, if I use her to agree to my request and ask her to kneel again, the meaning will be completely different, because the bet is between the two of them, and has nothing to do with Suzaku.

In this way, she got the blueprints and didn't lose the face of Suzaku. At most, she kowtowed to him for a small loss, which can be called the best of both worlds.

But this little girl... Call her smart, but she dares to offend herself in front of everyone, call her not smart, but she is very thoughtful.

Li Wang actually felt that he could not understand her.

Seeing that the other party just stared at him without speaking, Pei Xiaoran thought that he didn't want to agree, so he smiled indifferently and said:
"If His Royal Highness Li Wang doesn't want to bet with me, then that's all." After finishing speaking, he turned around and was about to take his two elder brothers with him.

"Wait!"

King Li touched his chin, and said to the attendants beside him:
"Bring a pen and paper!"

He will give her a chance to see how capable she is!

The attendants hurriedly responded, quickly brought pens, ink, paper and inkstone, and moved a small table in front of King Li.

King Li stood up, took the brush from the attendant, and without thinking about it, he started to write, the brush wandered around, and the painting was finished in a short while.

Pei Xiaoran was slightly surprised, thinking, this jade pendant must be very important to Li Wang, otherwise, he would not have remembered the appearance of the jade pendant so clearly in his heart, and could write without thinking.

"All right."

Putting down the brush, the attendant next to him hurriedly picked up the drawing, blew it up, and then held it in front of Pei Xiaoran with both hands.

Pei Xiaoran reached out to take it, and saw a square jade pendant drawn on the blueprint. The jade pendant was engraved with the word "Baili". Both complicated and vivid.

Pei Xiaoran was taken aback, and thought to himself, why is it engraved with Baili instead of Yin?After all, the national surname of Da Yin is Yin, even if it is engraved, it should be engraved with Yin.

But this is not something she needs to care about, Pei Xiaoran put away his thoughts, carefully folded the blueprint and put it in his arms, smiled at Li Wang Fu, and said:
"Thank you, Your Highness Li Wang."

King Li nodded, put on a big cloak, and walked away with his attendants.

Pei Runzhi was very worried, and he waited until he was far away from Wang and his party before he said:

"What if I can't find it... Prince Li made another request that is not good for you, what should I do?"

Pei Yuxuan also said with a serious face: "Xiaoran, you are too reckless this time, you are not allowed to make such a bet in the future, especially with a stranger."

Pei Xiaoran nodded very taught, and said obediently: "Xiaoran remembered, but the two brothers don't have to worry, Xiaoran has his own way."

Pei Runzhi and Pei Yuxuan sighed together, they were helpless with this younger sister who had made up her mind since she fell into the water, they could only see each other again when the time came.

Pei Runzhi thought for a while, and said: "I'll go and find out where King Li's jade pendant was lost. First, I'll go there and look for it carefully, and then ask some friends to inquire around to see if there is any information about the whereabouts of the jade pendant."

Pei Yuxuan also said: "I also asked my friend to help find it."

Pei Xiaoran knew that the brothers were afraid that she would not be able to find Yupei to help, and they did not refuse their kindness, so he only said:
"Today is the Chinese New Year, so let's not talk about it. Brothers, go back and have something to eat. I will go back too."

Pei Runzhi patted her head, waited for her small figure to disappear along with the maid leading the way, and then walked slowly with Pei Yuxuan.

And Pei Xingshan still knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and said nothing.

He angered the Holy Majesty, and no one dared to speak for him, and several ministers who were friendly with him could only shake their heads and leave with a sigh.

Pei Runzhi and Pei Yuxuan were worrying about how to get the jade pendant back, but they didn't realize that their father had been kneeling on the ground and hadn't got up yet, just as if he had left with the ministers.

And even if Pei Xiaoran saw it, he couldn't do anything for a person who desperately blamed his mother and brothers.

Just kneel, let him have a longer memory, and for a general, kneeling for a few hours is just a piece of cake, there is no need to worry at all.

Only sisters Pei Huayu and Pei Shuli stayed. The two of them had been staring at Li Wang obsessively until they came back to their senses when Li Wang was gone, but when they saw that everyone around them had left, they also wanted to leave.

Unexpectedly, when he lifted his foot, he found that his father was still kneeling on the ground.
