Chapter 123 Frontal conflict
Yuechan held a kettle in her hand and hummed a cheerful song to water the flowers and plants in the front yard. Since she resolved the crisis of identity leakage, she felt like she had removed a mountain. She felt extremely relaxed all of a sudden. At the same time, she also cherished the peaceful life now, and smiled no matter what she did.
In addition, for some reason, she has always had very strange dreams these days, and she and Li Xiu are the only ones in the dream. Sometimes she whispered by the river, sometimes she was joking under the moon, and even made some intimate actions when she was in love. Every time she woke up, she kept covering her quilt, so she didn't dare to see anyone for a long time. When she was doing things, she would occasionally think of the scenes in her dreams, which made her blush and hot every time, but this also made her look a little more beautiful as a woman.
"Sister Yuechan, have you encountered some good news recently? You look much more beautiful?" Liu'er asked while holding a pair of scissors while trimming the leaves of flowers and plants. These days, Qi Niang has Xiao Ya, a playmate, so she doesn't need to follow her frequently. However, Liu'er is used to being busy and helps Yuechan and the others with housework whenever she has time.
"No, Liu'er, don't talk nonsense!" Yuechan said shyly when she heard this. She was distracted just now. Now she was interrupted by Liu'er. She suddenly seemed to have seen through her thoughts, and her face suddenly turned extremely red.
"Hehe, I think Sister Yuechan must have been taken into the room by the master. Liu'er, she looks like she has written on her face!" At this moment, Xiaochun, who was working next to her, covered her mouth and smiled. Among the maids, she was the oldest, and after getting along for a while, they gradually became familiar with Yuechan, so they naturally became much more courageous. At this time, they actually dared to joke with Yuechan.
"Xiaochun, I... I don't have it, you were taken into the room by the master!" Yuechan was anxious and angry when she heard Xiaochun's words, and immediately turned red and argued, but she didn't even know what to say.
"Sister Yuechan, is Xiaochun's true words? I think the master has been very concerned about you these days and will not really take you into the room, right?" Liu'er's eyes lit up when she heard this. Although she was simple, she had heard some older palace maids talk about men and women when she was in the palace before, so she also knew what it meant to take in the room.
"No...no, you...don't talk nonsense!" Yuechan was angry and anxious, unable to even speak, especially at this time when she thought of the beautiful scenes in her dream, which made her feel even more ashamed and even more speechless.
But at this moment, suddenly, there was a burst of rapid horse hooves coming from outside the yard. Then, a man rode out and broke out, which scared Yue Chan and the others. Then the horseman said proudly, "Is this the home of Li Xiu Li Jijiu?"
"See...See Your Highness of the King of Qi!" When Yuechan saw the young man on horseback, her face turned pale and then saluted. The one who broke in was Li Yuanji who she and Li Xiu met in the West City that day.
"Huh? You are here too. It seems that I did not find the wrong place!" When Li Yuanji saw Yue Chan, he also smiled gently. When he saw Li Xiu in the West City that day, he was very impressed by the beautiful little maid next to Li Xiu.
"I... my master is meeting guests. Please wait for His Highness the King of Qi. I will report now!" Yuechan said nervously. Perhaps it was out of the woman's intuition, she always felt that Li Yuanji looked at her with some malicious intentions. After saying that, she wanted to turn around and go to the inner house to report the news.
"Haha~, no hurry. I happened to pass by here when I returned from hunting. I heard that Li Jijiu lives nearby, so I took a look. Since he is meeting guests, it's okay if I can wait for a while. Why don't you stay here and chat with me?" Li Yuanji looked at Yue Chan's nervous look, but suddenly showed an interesting expression.
The beauty Li Yuanji has seen many times, but he always feels that this little maid named Yuechan is a little different. When he saw Yuechan beside Li Xiu in the West Market that day, he was a little moved, but Li Xiu is not an ordinary person. No matter whether he is the eldest brother or the third sister, he will not indulge him in making trouble, so he did not dare to move.
Originally, there were many beauties around Li Yuanji, and he was only moved by Yue Chan for a moment, so he quickly left it behind. Today, he did pass by here by chance. Suddenly, he thought that his second brother made countless military achievements in Tuyuhun, all thanks to Li Xiu. This made him feel excited. So he came here to see Li Xiu again, but he didn't expect to see Yue Chan again. And compared to the last time, Yue Chan looked particularly beautiful today, which made him unable to help but be moved again.
"I have a humble status and I am not worthy of talking to your highness. Moreover, as the housekeeper of the Li Mansion, if I have a distinguished guest in the family and do not notify the master, I may be blamed by the master afterwards, so I would also like to forgive my Highness the King of Qi!" Yuechan said as she bowed to Li Yuanji again, turned around and wanted to go to the living room to tell Li Xiu.
However, Li Yuanji is not a person who can give up easily. At that moment, he saw his legs clamping his horse's belly, and the white horse under his crotch immediately leaped forward and blocked Yuechan's front. Then Li Yuanji smiled and said, "I didn't expect that you, a delicate little beauty, is actually the housekeeper of the Li family. It seems that Li Xiu is really an elegant person. Even the housekeeper is a rare beauty like you!"
Seeing that Li Yuanji was so domineering to stop him, and his words were frivolous, Yuechan was also embarrassed and angry, but she did not dare to offend Li Yuanji easily, worried that it would cause trouble for me, Li Xiu, so she had to suppress her anger and said, "Your Highness, please respect yourself. I am just a servant, and I can't be a beauty!"
"Hehe, I don't need you a little maid to do this. However, I like a woman with personality like you the most. I will discuss with Li Xiu later. How about using ten beauties for you? Is this enough to show my sincerity?" Li Yuanji said with a smile again.
If it weren't for Li Xiu's face, he might have taken the initiative to carry Yue Chan on the horse just now. Moreover, it would be very common for aristocrats to exchange a few beautiful maids. For example, he had just changed a few beauties with his cousin Li Xiaogong some time ago, so he would say it out without any scruples.
"Yuechan is right, please respect Your Highness the King of Qi!" But just as Li Yuanji finished speaking, he suddenly heard a suppressed anger coming from behind him. Then Li Xiu walked out of the inner house with a gloomy face, followed by Liu'er behind him. It turned out that Liu'er had seen something wrong just now, so he ran to the inner house to report the message to Li Xiu. He happened to hear the conversation between Yuechan and Li Yuanji.
"What does Li Jijiu mean? Do you still want to replace one of the ten beauties with me? "Li Yuanji was stunned when he heard Li Xiu's words, and then said with a gloomy face. He asked himself that he had given Li Xiu enough face, but if the other party was so ignorant, don't blame him for turning against him.
"Yuechan is a human being, not a goods, and I will never use her for any transaction!" Li Xiu said with a more gloomy face. He also knew that some nobles had a corruption in their lives. Not to mention the maids in the family, even some concubines could be exchanged with others. Most people were accustomed to this, but he absolutely could not tolerate such a thing happening to him.
"Just just a maid, is Li Jijiu a little bit of a big deal?" Li Yuanji said annoyed when he heard Li Xiu's words. He didn't care whoever he was or what he was. In his eyes, women were just toys, so how could they consider so much?
"The maid is also a human being. If His Highness of the King of Qi comes just for Yuechan, please come back!" Li Xiu said bluntly at this time. He and Li Yuanji had a gap of more than a thousand years in terms of concepts, and there was no talk of the same thing in this matter.
"You..." Li Yuanji was also extremely angry when he heard that Li Xiu was trying to drive him away. He was successful at a young age. Since he became the prince of the Tang Dynasty, almost no one in the world dared not to give him face. However, including the West Market, this was the second time that Li Xiu had not given him face in this way.
"Li Xiu, don't rely on the importance your elder brother and third sister to pay attention to you, so you can ignore me. Let me tell you the truth. I have to take this little maid away today, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!" Li Yuanji squinted his eyes and pointed at Yue Chan and threatened. At this time, it was nothing to do with Yue Chan. He was just trying to make this tone.
"Sister Fat, protect Yuechan. If anyone dares to take action today, beat me to death!" Li Xiu said without retreating. With his order, the four of them immediately protected Yuechan with arrows. They had seen Li Yuanji before and knew his identity, but at this time they followed Li Xiu's orders without hesitation, because they had been advised by Princess Pingyang before and had to obey Li Xiu's orders no matter what circumstances they encountered.
"Hahahahaha~, do you think you can stop me with just a few women?" Li Yuanji saw that four women dared to show his weapons to him, which made him laugh arrogantly. Fat Sister and the others knew him, but he didn't know Fat Sister. After all, there are so many female guards around Princess Pingyang, and it is impossible for everyone to know Li Yuanji.
"They really can't stop you, Your Highness, the King of Qi, but what about me!" Just as Li Yuanji finished speaking, he suddenly heard an angry voice coming from the inner hut. Then Princess Pingyang, with a helmet, and then she strode out with several maids, her eyes full of anger.
