Secret Agent: The Devil's Favorite Wife

Chapter 20 Quan Xiaoli's Entanglement
"You don't need to take care of my affairs, you'd better take care of your own." Quan Xiaoli didn't intend to leave.

"The servant thanked His Highness the Crown Prince for reminding me that the servant must abide by her duties and do her job well." Que Ruoyu was very annoyed!Not knowing the purpose of Quan Xiaoli's coming here today, Que Ruoyu could only deal with it carefully.

"It's so good! Don't have the idea of ​​flying on a branch and turning into a phoenix." Quan Xiaoli thought that Que Ruoyu had watched Banlu become a talented person, so she repeatedly attracted the emperor's attention, and had the idea of ​​wanting to be the emperor's woman , Such thoughts make him very unhappy.

Que Ruoyu was speechless to Quan Xiaoli's words, she never thought about becoming a prisoner phoenix in the palace, she just wanted to get out of the cold palace first, and then escape from the palace as soon as possible.

"His Royal Highness is worrying too much. The slaves have always kept their identities in mind, so they dare not have such thoughts."

"That's great, you'd better remember what you said today!" Quan Xiaoli changed the subject, "Are you very familiar with the First Prince Quan Langyuan?"

"If you go back to His Royal Highness, the maidservant and the eldest prince are not familiar." Could it be that Quan Xiaoli came here tonight just to ask about her relationship with the eldest prince?
"Unfamiliar? Why is Quan Langyuan so partial to you?" Quan Xiaoli obviously didn't believe Que Ruoyu's words.

"Going back to His Highness the Crown Prince, the servants are not familiar with His Highness the First Prince, maybe His Highness just couldn't bear to see me being pushed around by those maids, so he asked me to go over."

"Oh, is that so?" Speaking of being pushed to his side by those maids, but being called over by Quan Langyuan, Quan Xiaoli felt very annoyed.

"Well, yes, it's late at night, and the slaves are about to rest, and please return to the palace to rest earlier." Que Ruoyu wanted to kick Quan Xiaoli out of her small courtyard.

"Just drive me away in such a hurry? Don't forget, who gave you this one-third of an acre of land, hum!" Quan Xiaoli had no intention of leaving.

Que Ruoyu is speechless. As a normal person in the 21st century, she is not used to the hierarchical system here. She always says that everyone is equal, but when she comes here, she will appear inferior because of her background. Moreover, in modern times, he is It is entirely possible to sue Quan Xiaoli for breaking into a private house, or just kick him out, but here, Que Ruoyu can only endure Quan Xiaoli's unreasonable troubles, she does not want her plan to be destroyed by Quan Xiaoli.

Neither of them spoke, one was standing, and the other was sitting arrogantly and domineeringly. They had no intention of leaving yet, and the atmosphere seemed a bit dull.Later Que Ruoyu really couldn't resist Zhou Gong's lingering, and slowly moved to the bedside step by step, and fell asleep after a while.

Quan Xiaoli got up and came to the bed, leaning over to look at Que Ruoyu who was sleeping peacefully, his thin face, but his skin was tender and smooth, and his body was pitifully emaciated. He didn't understand how brave Que Ruoyu was that night. Jumping into the lake to save him, this thin body can't withstand the cold river water, he just came tonight to know what is the relationship between her and Quan Langyuan, why Quan Langyuan protects her so much?It seems that he was overthinking, because in her conversation, he was sure that there was no relationship between her and Quan Langyuan, it was him overthinking.

After standing next to Que Ruoyu for an unknown amount of time, Quan Xiaoli left Que Ruoyu's room.

As soon as Quan Xiaoli walked out of the room, Que Ruoyu's tightly closed eyes opened, shining with a dazzling light, it didn't look like he was asleep just now.He didn't understand why Quan Xiaoli stayed for so long, could it be because of her saving him that night?Why!No matter what Que Ruoyu thinks, she has no memory of that night.
When Que Ruoyu arrived at the Leng Palace the next day, the Leng Palace was full of excitement.

Que Ruoyu approached and inquired and found out that it was the Prince's Mansion that welcomed high-ranking officials from all over the country in the beginning of spring. He said that he had taken a fancy to the flowers Que Ruoyu had prepared for the New Year's Eve and Lantern Festival banquets, so he handed over all the flowers from the Prince's Mansion to those in the cold palace. During this period, these maids can put down their work and prepare the flowers and plants of the Prince's Mansion with peace of mind. The services and food sent now are the rewards paid in advance to the cold palace. There will be more rewards after the decoration of the Prince's Mansion is completed. .

This delighted all the ladies in the cold palace, but Que Ruoyu lacked interest. She didn't believe that Quan Xiaoli would have such good intentions.

Que Ruoyu asked Nanny Su to ask, sure enough!Quan Xiaoli would not be so kind!The Prince's Mansion stipulates that all flower arrangements must be completed within seven days, including [-] roses, [-] rhododendrons, and [-] peonies, among which there are countless small flowers and grasses.After hearing this, Que Ruoyu's shrewd eyes shone with a cold light. For these maids in the cold palace, even if it took a month, they might not be able to complete it, but Quan Xiaoli only gave them a week!

These small gifts sent now can be said to be a bomb, if Leng Gong accepts these gifts, he must hand over all the folded flowers within a week!Otherwise, no one in the cold palace can escape!How could these short-sighted maids think so far, they have been dazzled by this little benefit in front of them.

"Madam Su, I think these servings and meals are just disasters sent by the Prince's Mansion. There are tens of thousands of folded flowers, no matter how we hurry up, we can't finish them all. The Prince's trick of first courtesy and then soldiers is really powerful."

Que Ruoyu told Su Nanny about the current situation, only Su Nanny and Hongchan were awake here.

Que Ruoyu turned to look at Su Momo, sure enough!She is also frowning, how to hand over a huge amount of folded flowers within a week is a headache.

"Yeah, Taizi Mansion seems to give us a good job, but if we can't hand over these folded flowers within the specified time, how can we survive if we wait?" Mother Su also felt very distressed, "Our cold palace has never offended the prince. People from the government, why do you make things difficult for us slaves?"

Listening to Mother Su's complaint, Que Ruoyu probably guessed that Quan Xiaoli was not torturing someone in the cold palace, but torturing her in disguise!Unexpectedly, Quan Xiaoli was so narrow-minded that he remembered what she said to him at the banquet last night.

snort!Que Ruoyu, aren't you good at stacking flowers?I will let you stack enough!Quan Xiaoli smiled sinisterly.

"Madam Su, in the urgent situation, I can only order the maid to fold flowers as soon as possible."

"Well, that's the only way to go. You can't finish it in seven days, and you can only do as much as you can." Su Momo turned to the maids who were admiring the servants, "Come here, stop watching, seven days If we can't hand over so many flowers within a short period of time, you and I will only have to move our heads."

"Mother Su, why are you in a hurry? There are still seven days to go. Let's fold together. Are you afraid that there will not be so many flowers? Now let us appreciate the silk and satin from the Prince's Mansion, the sisters said. Isn't it!" Usually one of the court ladies who talked a lot said out loud, and the rest of the court ladies also followed suit.

"Yes, yes, let's appreciate these beautiful costumes first."
