News of Yang Ying's recovery spread like wildfire.
Early the next morning, Li Tongguang visited again.
Yang Ying avoided seeing him.
Du Changshi was waiting for the reception in the main hall, while Ning Yuanzhou and others stood guard outside the main hall.
Qian Zhao led people to greet Li Tongguang.
In front of the door of the side hall on the side of the main hall, the chamberlain of the mission knocked on the door: "Second Miss, Anguo's envoy has arrived at the outer door. Du Changshi has been waiting in the hall for a long time."
"As a female history official, you cannot be absent!"
Xiao Yuxi's voice came from the room: "Well, I'll be there right away."
Even though there was no one in sight, the waiter still bent down and bowed, then stepped back respectfully.
When Qian Zhao led Li Tongguang into the inner courtyard, Xiao Yuxi's door also opened.
What a coincidence.
As soon as Xiao and Xi crossed the threshold, their eyes met Li Tongguang, who was wearing a crescent white brocade robe.
Both of them were stunned.
Xiao Yuxi couldn't help but feel frightened because of Ren Ruyi's reminder last night, and an indescribable strange feeling arose spontaneously.
The two of them looked at each other as if no one else was watching.
Yuanlu, who was standing guard outside the hall door, looked like he was watching a good show.
He moved quietly, approached Ning Yuanzhou, and asked in a low voice: "Boss, Changqing Hou is obviously Sister Ruyi's apprentice, but why do I feel that he pays more attention to Sister Xi?"
Ning Yuanzhou's posture was upright and his tone was calm: "Isn't this good?"
Yuanlu looked confused: "Huh?"
In the center of the inner courtyard, Qian Zhao stepped forward and blocked Li Tongguang's view of Xiao Yuxi with his body.
He looked towards the hall expressionlessly, extended his hand to signal, and said coldly: "Please."
Li Tongguang glanced at Qian Zhao, smiled and nodded slightly, but the look in his eyes was unclear.
in the hall.
Li Tongguang was gentle and gentle when talking and laughing, but his words were half threatening and half disdainful.
He vaguely mentioned the matter of Emperor Wu being captured alive, and then talked about the purpose of his visit today.
Emperor An was not ready to march south and asked the Wu State envoy to reach Andu within seven days.
If it is too late, I am afraid that the envoy will not be able to meet him.
Du Changshi was obviously overwhelmed.
Xiao Yuxi walked into the hall slowly, taking steps leisurely.
She chuckled and said, "It took the young marquis ten days to get here, but he only gave him seven days to go to Andu."
"What? Is there someone who won't survive the remaining three days?"
The person who ordered it to be reached within seven days was Emperor An. You can imagine who Xiao Yuxi was talking about.
"Xiao Nvshi, be careful what you say." Du Changshi was shocked and wanted to rush up and cover Xiao Yuxi's mouth.
If he had known this, he would not have allowed the chamberlain to call Xiao Yuxi!
Li Tongguang turned to look at Xiao Yuxi. There was no anger or surprise on his face.
"He" has always been like this, he dares to speak out when facing Emperor An, and it is even more common for him to bend around and hurt others behind his back.
Xiao Yuxi and Li Tongguang passed by each other.
She walked straight to the front of the hall, minding her own business and sat down on the main seat on the left.
"Well said." Ren Ruyi walked out of the inner room on the right and faced Li Tongguang and Du Changshi: "Since we can't see them, we might as well not let Brother Li go."
Du Changshi and the guards beside him raised their hands and saluted: "Princess."
Ren Ruyi ordered aloud: "Master Du, please step back. There are some things you don't need to say clearly."
"Yes." Du Changshi and the guards all retreated.
Ren Ruyi sat on the main seat on the right and extended her hand to signal Li Tongguang to take a seat.
Li Tongguang sat down.
He looked at the two people in front of him, one pretending better than the other.
Even before coming, he had silently thought that he should not be emotional, but he still couldn't help but feel aggrieved.
Respect for teachers.
He doesn't care about the master.
As for that mascot, he can always say a few words, right?
Li Tongguang's voice was low: "I am worried about King Li's health. I heard that he has improved, so I came to visit him with heavy gifts."
"The princess has a distinguished status, and I have no right to comment."
"But... Xiao Nvshi, you came late, and now you don't even offer me a cup of hot tea, and your words are extremely provocative."
"Is it because the Wu Kingdom envoy doesn't know how to treat guests, or is it that you, Miss Xiao, don't take me seriously at all?"
Xiao Yuxi looked at this pretentious boy with a hint of amusement in his eyes.
She played with the tea cup with the fingertips of her right hand, and her four fingers beat regularly: "The young Marquis can really confuse right and wrong, I am ashamed of myself."
“Hospitality is dedicated to the guests.”
"Is the young Marquis a guest?"
This statement has a double meaning.
On the surface, the two countries were at odds with each other, and Li Tongguang first provoked Du Changshi.
Due to both emotion and reason, it is reasonable for the Wu State Mission not to give a good attitude.
Secretly, there is no need to say much about the relationship between the three of them.
Li Tongguang hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't answer these words.
Of course he is not a guest!
He is the master's apprentice and also...
Also what?
Li Tongguang couldn't figure it out.
He only knew that Young Master Yu was his, and he must be his!
This obsession tortured him for many years.
Now that the person is right in front of him, he can't even find the courage to reach out.
He only dared to act like a child who couldn't eat candy, pretending to attract her attention.
Outside the hall.
The people in Liudaotang, except Ning Yuanzhou, were all lying on the door, listening intently to what was going on inside.
Sun Lang: "This kid, Marquis Changqing, dislikes us for not serving him tea."
Yu Shisan: "That's an excuse. I just want to say a few more words to the second young lady!"
Yuan Lu: "Brother Thirteen means that Marquis Changqing is interested in Sister Xi?"
Yu Shisan: "Hey ~ transparent."
Qian Zhao: "What do you mean?"
Yu Shisan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered Qian Zhao's thoughts, and quickly retorted: "It's not interesting, I just talk nonsense to fool the children, whatever I mean."
Ning Yuanzhou stood aside and said in a deep voice: "Don't be embarrassed, let's get down to business!"
The four of them immediately fell silent.
In the hall, Li Tongguang couldn't talk to Xiao Yuxi at all, so he chose to remain silent.
Ren Ruyi started to talk.
She handed a map to Li Tongguang: "If the Marquis is willing to help me pay homage to the king's brother and welcome back the Holy Emperor safely, I, Da Wu, would like to use these two cities to wish the Marquis a great minister in the future."
Li Tongguang was silent for a while, then stood up slowly: "If I promise you, can the princess promise me something?"
Ren Ruyi said: "Master Hou, you might as well speak out."
Li Tongguang raised his hand and pointed at Xiao Yuxi, and said firmly: "I want the history of Xiao Nu..."
Ren Ruyi suddenly froze on the spot.
Xiao Yuxi turned to look at Li Tongguang fiercely.
The aura around her was calm and intimidating, and she responded with an unkind expression: "Huh?"
Li Tongguang paused for a moment, and after repeating it again, his voice finally softened: "I want Xiao Nu Shi to offer me tea to apologize."
Use the most cowardly tone and say the strongest words.
Ren Ruyi turned to look at Xiao Yuxi, a smile appearing in his eyes.
She didn't speak, but Xiao Yuxi understood what she meant: It's hard to fool a little brat, why don't you just coax him?
Outside the hall, Qian Zhao didn't listen anymore, he turned and left.
Yuan Lu wanted to catch up: "Brother Qian."
Yu Shisan pressed Yuan Lu's shoulders: "Don't go, your brother Qian always likes to keep things to himself and never say them out."
"The opportunities along the way, why don't you open your mouth, let him think about it!"
Yuan Lu was half-informed.
Only Sun Lang was still immersed in the topic in the hall: "How dare Marquis Changqing ask the second lady to serve tea?"
"With the Second Young Lady's temperament, besides Miss Ruyi, who does she take seriously? Even An Di scolds her at every turn!"
"This Marquis of Changqing is really not afraid of the second lady throwing tea in his face!"
In the hall, the three of them finally said that it was unrealistic for Xiao and Xi to offer tea to apologize.
Li Tongguang retreated and asked Xiao Yuxi to agree to it. He owed him a refreshment and could make up for it at any time in the future.
Xiao Yuxi agreed.
In this way, Li Tongguang left the post house in a happy mood.
