"sit down!"
Princess Lanling didn't even raise her head, she was looking at a booklet carefully.
Su Xian sat down on a chair as instructed, drank the fragrant tea brought by the little palace maid, and waited quietly for her to finish her work.
Putting down the teacup, Su Xian accidentally raised his eyes to look at her.
It was already afternoon, and the sunlight coming in through the window was warm and lulling people to sleep. Li Youqing was sitting at the desk, with a hint of tiredness on her serious face.
Su Xian quickly glanced at the princess's chest, quickly looked away, and secretly guessed in his heart: "I wonder if the princess's view will be blocked when she writes?"
"..."
"Prince Hunxie Prince Nalanjie returned to Liao Kingdom?" After a while, Li Youqing finished handling his official duties and looked sideways. The tiredness in his eyes had disappeared, with a sense of joy of success.
"We have already set off. I am here to report. Please rest assured, princess."
"That's good..." Li Youqing breathed a long sigh of relief, her waist softened, and her whole body leaned on the back of the chair. She narrowed her eyes and smiled:
"The distribution of 800,000 shi of grain...just leave it to Marquis Fan Yang. You are not in a hurry to go to Beijing anyway."
"good."
Su Xian nodded, then changed the subject and said, "Princess, I have something to report."
"Tell me." Li Youqing leaned back on the chair very comfortably, her eyes closed slightly, and her afternoon fatigue surged, making her feel lazy.
Her posture of leaning back on the chair perfectly showed off her exquisite and convex figure. Coupled with her lazy demeanor and graceful temperament, she looked absolutely gorgeous.
"Princess, do you ever remember the 'disappearance case of 10,000 Liao troops'..."
Su Xian spoke slowly, focusing on Tang Shujing's contribution in that case... There was hard work even if there was no credit, and then he took advantage of the situation to ask for credit for Tang Shujing.
"oh?"
Li Youqing became interested, opened her eyes and looked up, and said with a teasing smile on her lips: "We just got engaged, and you can't wait to please your future sister-in-law?"
Su Xian felt a little embarrassed. In fact, he had promised to ask for credit for Tang Shujing a long time ago, but things happened too much later... Asking for credit now coincided with his marriage to the Tang family yesterday. No wonder Princess Lanling misunderstood.
"That... princess misunderstood..." Su Xian defended.
"In fact, I see Tang Shujing's hard work and dedication... In addition, she will soon become Marquis Fan Yang's sister-in-law, I..."
"..."
Princess Lanling drew out her voice, looked sideways, and curled her lips.
Su Xian faced her smiling face, and felt that her expression at the moment was a bit... like a little girl. He blinked and looked again, but disappeared again.
Su Xian shook his head and did not go into details.
From the princess's tone, she wanted to agree with his suggestion of rewarding Tang Shujing, and the big reason was because Tang Shujing was about to become his sister-in-law.
What's this?
This is Princess Lanling giving him face.
Su Xian suddenly smiled and waited for the second half of her sentence.
Princess Lanling's smile remained the same, but at the next moment, the smile on her face disappeared at the same time, and she said clearly and expressionlessly: "That's why I refuse!"
"Thank you very much, sir... eh?" Su Xian was suddenly startled and looked up. Princess Lanling had already lay down on the back of the chair again, her eyes slightly closed, and she was resting her mind.
That’s right!
Su Xian was a little dumbfounded.
I wonder what the princess is doing. This kind of unreliability is actually relatively rare, but once it appears, Su Xian feels uncomfortable... Women are unreliable after all!
Su Xian stood up from the chair and looked at the princess who was concentrating with her eyes closed, helpless for a moment. He didn't know why the other party suddenly acted like this. Could it be that she was...jealous?
Improbable!
No matter what, he must finish this matter today. He has let go of Tang Shujing twice. It is not good to let her go again. You have to be trustworthy, right?
He pondered for a long time, and soon he had an idea in his mind. He laughed loudly and said: "Princess, I have thought of another good thing in the past two days, and it is no less amazing than the jade shield!"
"Um?!"
Princess Lanling had originally planned to ignore Su Xian today, but after hearing Su Xian's words, she instantly overturned her decision. Her eyes suddenly opened, she stared at Su Xian with piercing focus and asked:
"What do Marquis Fan Yang think?"
"Princess, my latest idea is similar to the jade shield. If the princess presents it to Her Majesty the Queen, Your Majesty will definitely like it!" Su Xian whetted her appetite.
"..."
Sure enough, Princess Lanling couldn't sit still. She raised her back from the chair and leaned her upper body forward slightly.
At this time, she found a piece of black fabric protruding from the edge of Su Xian's jacket pocket, which looked strangely familiar...but none of that mattered now.
She kept her upper body leaning forward, her beautiful eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and she asked with a serious face: "Marquis Fan Yang, can you tell me, what is it? It is comparable to the jade shield!"
Seeing that her appetite had been fully satiated, Su Xian smiled and explained, including its shape, function, etc., and finally revealed the name of the thing:
"Your Highness, I name this thing 'silk stockings'!"
"Stockings!?"
"good!"
Li Youqing's chair seemed to have a nail driven into it. She couldn't sit still and was swaying around. She really wanted to experience the silky, slim, tight, wrapping and smooth texture described by Su Xian.
Finally, countless stars appeared in her eyes, she looked at Su Xian and explained seriously:
"Marquis Fan Yang, this item is very important. It is even more popular with His Majesty than the jade mask. I hope you can tinker with the stockings as soon as possible!"
"I understand, please rest assured, princess, I will work it out as soon as possible." Su Xian breathed a sigh of relief and bowed deeply, thinking that Tang Shujing's reward was finally secured.
It's just that... changing into stockings feels a bit overkill.
No matter what, she will always be my sister-in-law from now on. How can any brother-in-law not love his sister-in-law?
When Su Xian bent down to salute, he thought to himself.
However, what he never expected was that at this moment, Princess Lanling, who was directly in front of him, had already risen.
Princess Lanling's alluring face turned black and green, her complexion changed several times, she was ashamed and angry, her eyes seemed to be spitting fire, and she looked like she was about to burst into thunder and wrath.
Her chest rose and fell violently.
What did she see?
It turned out that when Su Xian bent down to give a deep salute just now, the jade cover that had been randomly stuffed into his pocket, with a section of the "shoulder strap" leaking out in advance, finally slipped out of his coat pocket and fell to the ground.
Princess Lanling, who was directly opposite him, witnessed the entire falling process with her own eyes.
The princess could clearly see that it was a jade mask, all black, with complicated embroidery, extremely exquisite and high-quality... Why did a jade mask fall out of Su Xian's clothes?
Could it be that it was stolen from the embroidery room? Take it home and give it to that tofu Xishi? Su Xian has done this before.
When the princess' complexion changed slightly, her eyes suddenly froze again and she stood up.
Just now, she discovered that the outside of the two "big bowls" was decorated with a butterfly, which was also made of lace...
The vein on Li Youqing's forehead twitched hard.
The jade mask she lost that she loved so much...was actually stolen by Su Xian? No wonder I couldn’t find it after searching for a long time, but it turned out to be——
Stolen by Su Xian!
Moreover, it was one that she had been trying on for a whole day. It was stained with the smell of her body, and was roughly stuffed into Su Xian's pocket.
If the secret was not revealed this time and the jade mask fell out, Su Xian would have taken it home... Who knows what dirty things Su Xian would have done with the jade mask worn by the princess.
