Chapter 37 Ten boxes of rewards
In the front hall—
Lin Peiyan chatted with Liu Chengan in a familiar way, sometimes talking about the current situation in the dynasty, sometimes talking about the recent situation in Bei'an. He seemed serious, but his mood had already floated outside the door, and he always paid attention to the noise outside.
When he heard the sound of a woman talking, he subconsciously turned his eyes out of the door. Seeing that the person coming was not the lovely person he was thinking about, a trace of loss flashed in his eyes.
Liu Xueying wore a bright red pomegranate skirt today, which made her skin look whiter and more delicate. Her hairpin was covered with shaking hairpins, and when she walked, she jingled.
She bowed in the most graceful posture, her voice was like water, and she greeted her delicately: "See Your Highness, the King of Yan."
When she came, An specially drew a red plum blossom at Liu Xueying's eyebrows, teaching her how to hook a man's heart with her eyes while she looked up.
She did everything, but Lin Peiyan didn't even give her a look, but just nodded slightly and picked up the teacup, "Yes."
The mother and daughter made a lot of calculations, but they still missed it. As princes, Lin Peiyan is surrounded by her with no shortage of kind beauties, and she has endless means and is much more wiser than them. How can she be attracted by this low-level measurement?
Moreover, since he saw Liu Luoying, he could no longer have other women in his eyes.
Seeing that Liu Xueying was not leaving for a long time, Liu Chengan asked in confusion: "Xueying, what else do you have?"
"Uncle, Bei'an City will hold a lantern festival tomorrow. Xueying thought that the servants have worked hard for many days and it is rare to have this opportunity to relax. Therefore, I came to ask you for a reward, I wonder if it is possible?"
"Okay, I'm just thinking that way."
Liu Chengan just agreed, and a beautiful figure crossed the threshold, instantly attracted everyone's attention.
I saw Willow Lou Cherry wearing a pleated skirt with peach blossoms and leaves prints, combed with flying fairy hairpins, and only wore a jade hairpin. Her temperament was as good as an orchid. From a distance, she looked like a fairy who had accidentally entered the world.
The breeze blew, the hem of the skirt fluttered, and a flying sand rose. She raised her jade hand, lightly covering her beautiful eyes, and leaned over her sideways. Her every move was so beautiful that she was breathtaking.
Lin Peiyan for a moment was forgot about his mind and looked at her blankly, his heart pounding like a deer.
"Father, Your Highness, King Yan."
Liu Luoying nodded and saluted. Her calm little face did not change any changes because of Lin Peiyan's identity.
This cold temperament set her sharp contrast with Liu Xueying.
One is a fairy who is not contaminated with the world, and the other is a vulgar woman with dust. No choice is needed, anyone will be attracted by the former.
Lin Peiyan could no longer take her eyes from the moment she appeared, and the aura that was kept from others thousands of miles away also softened.
Liu Xueying's original confidence was broken into pieces at this moment, and her cold eyes flashed with murderous intent, hoping to crush Liu Luoying and swallow it raw.
"Luoying, Bei'an City can survive the epidemic safely this time, all depends on your righteous help. I specially present a gift to the people of the whole city. After the war is over, I will definitely return to the capital to report this matter to His Majesty and ask for a reward for you."
Lin Peiyan clapped his hands and was afraid of his hands. The waiter waiting outside the door moved ten wooden boxes with silk red flowers into the yard.
If you don’t know, you will definitely think that this is a hiring situation when you see the bright colors.
"Thank you, Prince."
Lin Peiyan deliberately opened the first few boxes containing gold bars and jewelry, and even Liu Chengan and Liu Xueying were flashed and their faces were shocked. When they saw Liu Luoying, they were still calm and unmoved.
Seeing this scene, Lin Peiyan was satisfied.
His vision has always been good. Willow cherry blossoms are really different from those vulgar rouge powder. They are the woman he wants.
"Will the lantern festival go to tomorrow?"
Lin Peiyan approached Liu Luoying without any trace, which made her feel murderous in her heart rekindled.
In order to suppress her, she could only patiently lower her head and not look at the disgusting face: "When you say that, Ying'er is still a little sick, so she won't go to the Lantern Festival to avoid aggravating her condition."
Even though Liu Luoying had agreed to Luo Ting to go to the Lantern Festival with him, if Lin Peiyan also went there, she would rather guard the empty courtyard than take a step.
"Oh? If Luoying is unwell, it is better for me to call the medical officer to take the pulse and diagnose it for you."
Lin Peiyan reached out his hand worriedly, but Liu Luoying nimblely avoided it and said alienated: "Your Majesty has trouble, Ying'er is considered half a doctor. He knows that his body is all old diseases, so he just needs to rest."
"Since that's the case, then Luoying will be able to cultivate. I will come again next day."
Anyone can see such obvious alienation that Lin Peiyan's smile flew in a flash, suppressing his anger and stopping.
Looking at the prince's back as he left, Liu Chengan couldn't help but worry and whispered to his daughter: "Ying'er, if there is a next time, you must not refute the prince's face."
"Yes, father, daughter know."
"These things are rewarded by the prince. You can handle them yourself, but remember not to squander them all willfully."
Liu Chengan had something to do, so he hurried out.
Liu Luoying found a few servants and moved ten boxes to her side courtyard, which attracted countless envious gazes along the way.
The father and daughter left, but Liu Xueying, who was standing beside her, seemed like air and was completely ignored by them.
This made her feel even more ashamed and angry. As soon as she returned to her house, she would vent all her anger on the innocent porcelain decorations for hundreds of years.
"Why? Why! What's wrong with me? Why doesn't your highness even look at me?"
When An heard his daughter smashing things in the house, he hurriedly rushed over. Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the door, he was hit by the flying chess box and immediately exclaimed.
"Oh, my head. Xueying, who was messing with you? Why are you so angry?"
"Mother, are you okay? My daughter didn't do it on purpose." Liu Xueying put away her hideous anger and returned to the appearance of a pitiful lady. After saying a few words, tears rolled down.
Seeing this, An felt very distressed and even forgot the pain on his head. He hugged his daughter with concern: "Xueying, who bullied you? Tell your mother, I will help you revenge now."
"It's not that bitch Liu Luoying, mother, you don't know..." Liu Xueying's eyes were filled with tears, as if she was suffering from a huge grievance, and she cried and told the story in the front hall.
The more An listened, his face became darker, especially after hearing that Liu Luoying received ten boxes of rewards, his face was even more gloomy and his eyes were red with jealousy.
"Hmph, I really underestimated that little girl. Why didn't I hear that she was good at medical skills before?"
Liu Xueying's eyes shone, tears stopped instantly, and she asked in confusion: "Mother, don't you think she is like a different person?"
After the two were silent for a long time, An showed concern and muttered in a low voice: "If the house continues to be peaceful like this, I am afraid that the housekeeper's key that I finally got will be handed over to the bastard's hand."
"Mother, what should I do? Liu Luoying is not a good person to get along with. If she gets the key to the housekeeper, our room will be difficult."
