The princess is soft!The sick villain is crazy

Chapter 163 Coquetry
Li Mingji has a tactful and reserved character, "I want to show kindness to Jiaojiao", this is almost the most straightforward thing he has said except for that night of confession.

Shu Yao pointed to the jewelry and tea leaves brought by the clerk just now: "Then these..."

Li Mingji said: "This is a gift from foster father to Jiaojiao after he heard that Jiaojiao followed me to Jiangnan. He said that if there is anything Jiaojiao needs, he can directly tell the staff in the store."

Shu Yao snorted coldly.

It turned out that she was just a profiteer stalking her, but when she saw that Li Mingji had climbed up on her, she changed her previous attitude.It just so happens that she is short of clothes and jewellery, and someone is rushing to give them away, and she will not accept them for nothing.

Li Mingji sighed and said, "I have already told my adoptive father that I am not suitable to inherit his mantle, and I am willing to repay him for his years of nurturing me. He is a little angry."

A well-trained person ran away, shouldn't he be angry?But what does he think of Li Mingji, he uses it whenever he wants, beats and scolds him freely, does he treat Li Mingji as a righteous son, or as a convenient tool?

"Take me to meet your adoptive father," Shu Yao became angrier as she thought about it, "You are already mine, and he can't take you away even if he wants to."

Li Mingji chuckled, "I know, I've explained it to my adoptive father. I have some rifts with my adoptive father, and it won't be resolved overnight. Let me handle this matter, can Jiaojiao give me some time?"

makes sense.Some things should be faced by himself, he can't rely on the royal power for everything, right?But his adoptive father whom he had never met was really annoying, luckily he didn't see him.

Shu Yao reluctantly nodded: "Alright then."

"Is Jiaojiao still angry?" Li Mingji asked.

She had long since forgotten about being angry with Li Mingji, but she admitted so quickly that she calmed down, doesn't it seem that she is easy to coax?Shu Yao's dark eyes rolled and turned, and she didn't think of how to answer for a while, but she heard Li Mingji ask, "Can I hug you again?"

If you are in a bad mood, you should hug him. Is he a child?However, thinking of how unfortunate Li Mingji's childhood was, he would do these things, and it seemed understandable.Shu Yao remembered that she was unhappy when she was a child, and she wanted her uncle, grandmother, and nanny to take turns hugging and coaxing her, which almost alarmed the entire harem, which was much more exaggerated than Li Mingji now.

Seeing that he had been wronged and that he was her sweetheart, Shu Yao thought for a while, and took the initiative to get into Li Mingji's arms, hugged him, and patted him lightly like the elders coaxed her in the past. Li Mingji's back, "Okay, I don't care about you, don't be sad."

Although she really can't coax people, she can't even say a word of comfort very reluctantly.But the little princess has always been strong and arrogant, when did she take the initiative?Chunrui on the side was stunned, wondering if she told Songzhen about this, would Songzhen think she was slandering the little princess?
If Guard Li is a concubine in the harem, she must be a demon concubine who has been condemned by the court. Who can compare to him?No wonder Songzhen took a detour when she saw Li Mingji, even she felt a sense of crisis.

Compared to a hug without charming thoughts, Li Mingji knew that what he wanted was more than that simple.It's just that he's not the only one in this private room after all, the little princess has a thin skin, and he doesn't want to let the person he managed to coax go away because of impulsiveness.

As for Xiao Sui...

He fully revealed the purpose of the southern tour, but it was not as simple as relaxing Xiao Sui's vigilance.Yangzhou is Xiao Sui's hometown, no one knows this city better than him.Whether it's investigating officials or finding people, it's better to use Xiao Sui directly than to spend all your time.

Having personally killed him once, Xiao Sui was already a rotten bone in his eyes, and he was no longer afraid of him.

……

Li Mingji and Shu Yao wandered around until evening before returning to Zhizhou Mansion.When they went out, they were empty-handed, but when they came back, they carried large and small bags into the house, including clothes and jewelry sent by Mingyue Tower on the Sea, and small gadgets that Shu Yao bought casually while shopping.

When they returned home, only Lin Zongfu received them, Shu Yao didn't wear Mili, the girl's face was bright and charming, and there was a wishful gold hairpin in her hair, which was obviously bought during the day.Lin Zongfu saw it, and secretly thought that the commander was really generous to his concubine.

He laughed and said, "I don't know how the adult and the young lady are doing shopping?"

Li Mingji smiled faintly: "Yangzhou is bustling and bustling, the people live and work in peace and contentment, Master Lin has managed it very well."

The tension in Lin Zongfu's heart did not decrease but increased.This masked commander always had a smile on his lips when he spoke. The more this tone, the more unpredictable. Lin Zongfu has been an official for more than ten years. Ming Ji is such a terrifying person.

Thinking of Hong Ling's tragic death, Lin Zongfu felt his heart tightening.He also had a lot of lives in his hands, but they were all done by his subordinates, and they were handled very cleanly, and he never did it himself.This commander not only doesn't care about human life, but also takes pleasure in killing people. No wonder the capital has rumored that he is an evil spirit resurrected from hell.

However, the little lady next to him is naive and ignorant of world affairs. Two people, one black and one white, walk together, and unexpectedly collide with a strange sense of harmony...

"My lord Commander, you are absurd." Lin Zongfu wiped the thin sweat that didn't exist on his forehead, "This official has only been in office for a few years, and Yangzhou has always been like this. .”

"As for the water fees mentioned by the Commander, there is indeed such a thing. This is because after the floods in the south, the bankrupt farmers left the fields and became boatmen. Various waterway gangs sprang up, and the government reached an agreement with these gangs. The Cao Gang is allowed to make a living, but they have to charge a certain amount of extra tolls to dredge the river, repair the river and prevent floods. The adults don’t know that the disaster relief funds allocated by the Ministry of Households were limited back then, and Jiangnan was too far away from the capital. Fei, how did Yangzhou, Suzhou and Hangzhou restore prosperity so quickly? This is all the governance experience left by previous adults, and it is not easy for subordinate officials to change it without authorization."

His words were earnest, coupled with his plain clothes, the magistrate's mansion still retains the traces of the years, far less gorgeous than the mansion of the wealthy businessman in Yangzhou, this Lin Zongfu seems to be just an ordinary parent official.

But this place is Xiao Sui's lair.

Li Mingji smiled and said: "Master Lin speaks seriously. I was ordered to tour the south, just to understand the situation in the south on behalf of His Majesty, and I have no other intentions. If the facts are as Mr. Lin said, I will naturally not embarrass Mr. Lin."

The words were light and fluffy, but no promises were made.Lin Zongfu cursed secretly in his heart. Except for the general judge named Li Jin a few years ago, all the officials sent by the capital to supervise were sent away after staying for a few days. Why did they come here this time? Stone?
He rolled his eyes and glanced at Shu Yao inadvertently.This little lady doesn't seem to have a heart, if she wants to coax them away quickly, I'm afraid I have to start with her.
