Chapter 17
Qinzheng Palace at night
"Are you sure that's the case?" Emperor Mingzong asked.

"Your Majesty, that's true." The man in black replied respectfully.

"It's just an ordinary little maid, there is nothing suspicious about it." Emperor Mingzong murmured, "How could King Li know about Ye Xin without leaving the mansion?"

"Your Majesty, your subordinates found out today that the eldest son of Yushi Gu went to Li Palace." The man in black replied.

"The prodigal son of the Gu family?" Emperor Mingzong said thoughtfully, "Then it means that all these are really coincidences?"

The man in black naturally knew that Emperor Mingzong was not asking him, but talking to himself, so he didn't reply, and waited respectfully for Emperor Mingzong's order.

Emperor Mingzong carefully recalled the events of the day.Rumors spread from the Ye family that when Gu Nianqing went to Prince Li's mansion, he told Jun Ruoli that Jun Ruoli was so sincere to me that she came to the palace with her personal servant girl, and this personal servant girl happened to be the one who could marry her.All this is so logical, there is no doubt about it.

But the more doubtful it was, the more suspicious Emperor Mingzong felt.But as Jun Ruoli said, even if he felt suspicious, he couldn't find anything.Emperor Mingzong thought again, Jun Ruoli wronged him to marry a maid, maybe it was really sincere!

Liwangfu

Jun Ruoli lay on the bed, thinking about what Su Xiaoxiao said in the study, she didn't feel sleepy at all.

Su Xiaoxiao is not a very intelligent person, but she is a bit clever and courageous.Since there is no way for him to escape marriage, he is within Jun Ruoli's calculations.So he simply let Jun Ruoli calculate and use her openly, and at the same time set out his own conditions, explaining clearly in advance.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't have many conditions, only three in total.

First, the couple was originally married to achieve a certain purpose. The two are not a real couple. They need to act on the surface, but they must not interfere with each other in private.

Second, no matter what Jun Ruoli's purpose is, Su Xiaoxiao is not interested in knowing, and Jun Ruoli doesn't have to write a novel with Su Xiaoxiao.In short, after the goal is achieved, let Su Xiaoxiao live.

Three, now that the mask has been taken off, please stop teasing Su Xiaoxiao, Jun Ruoli.

These three conditions are very simple for Jun Ruoli, and because of this, Jun Ruoli can see that Su Xiaoxiao is not a greedy person.Before everything started, she thought about leaving after the end.None of the conditions were excessive or excessive, and the last one made Jun Ruoli dumbfounded.

Now Jun Ruoli can't help but think about Su Xiaoxiao, how she got along these days, why she didn't notice her before...

At this time, Ying Yi suddenly entered Jun Ruoli's room.His figure was a little unstable, and he should have already received the penalty.

Jun Ruoli asked with some doubts: "Shouldn't you be resting at this time?"

Ying Yi took out a letter from his bosom, presented it to Jun Ruoli, and replied: "Master, Supervisor Zhao has just sent a letter. The subordinates did not dare to delay, so they sent it right away."

Jun Ruoli got up, and took the letter from Ying Yi.In the letter, Su Xiaoxiao's horoscope is different, and the horoscope of this date of birth is a sign of death.Zhao Jianzheng has repeatedly deduced it several times, and it all shows that the owner of this horoscope has already died.

Jun Ruoli frowned, and said to Ying Yi: "Go and send a letter to Supervisor Zhao. Just tell him to just pick a good day and auspicious day, and don't mention this matter again!"

"Yes." Shadow One took the lead.

After Yingyi left, Jun Ruoli couldn't sleep anymore.The content of the letter has been floating in my mind, lingering.Jun Ruoli naturally knew that Su Xiaoxiao was alive and well, but why did she appear to be dying?

Jun Ruoli tossed and turned with something on her mind.That night Jun Ruoli didn't sleep well, but Su Xiaoxiao slept very soundly.

The next day, Su Xiaoxiao woke up refreshed.Now there is nothing to worry her about. Su Xiaoxiao, who is in a good mood, even feels that the black half of the table is much more pleasing to the eye.

The servant girl brought Su Xiaoxiao hot water to wash her face, obviously to help her freshen up.Su Xiaoxiao has been enslaved since she arrived in this world, and she was not used to being served by others for a while.What's more, in modern times, children can wash and dress themselves, and she doesn't want to be a giant baby.

"Put down the things, you can go out!" Su Xiaoxiao said with a smile.

"Yes." The maid answered, put down the basin in her hand, and exited the room.

Su Xiaoxiao simply washed her face, she didn't need to put on makeup, and she was done with her clothes.Su Xiaoxiao didn't have many sets of her own clothes, so she still dressed as a maid.

Seeing Su Xiaoxiao push the door and come out, the little maid said respectfully: "Miss Su, the prince said that after you get up, he will go to the front hall to have dinner with him."

"Together with him?" Su Xiaoxiao asked suspiciously, "But now it's past the usual meal time for princes."

The little servant girl replied: "Today, the prince said that he has no appetite, and he will eat after Miss Su wakes up. So my son, the prince has not eaten yet."

Su Xiaoxiao got up late, and she could have lunch at an hour in the evening.I didn't expect Jun Ruoli to wait for her, I wonder if I'm already angry because of waiting?

Thinking of this, Su Xiaoxiao walked away, and the little maid hurriedly followed.

When Su Xiaoxiao arrived at the front hall, Jun Ruoli was gently brushing the teacup lid with the teacup lid, pushing aside the tea leaves floating on the surface, so as not to drink the tea leaves into the mouth.

Seeing that Jun Ruoli didn't seem to be angry, Su Xiaoxiao apologized and said with a smile: "My lord, I'm sorry! I slept so well last night that I got up late, and I asked my lord to wait for so long."

"No problem." Jun Ruoli put down the teacup in her hand, and said to the servant girl, "Pass the meal!"

Su Xiaoxiao didn't want to be that hypocritical person, so she sat down and had a meal with Jun Ruoli.Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao was happy, Jun Ruoli also moved a few more chopsticks.I thought that maybe fate is not to be trusted!Zhao Jianzheng said that Su Xiaoxiao's horoscope is a sign of death, and he has already died.But the Su Xiaoxiao he saw now was still fine.

Holding the exquisite small porcelain bowl, Su Xiaoxiao sipped the magnolia flower soup made in the kitchen.The faint fragrance filled the whole mouth, Su Xiaoxiao felt extremely satisfied.

Su Xiaoxiao's eating is not elegant, but she doesn't look rude either.Eating quickly, but not ravenously.Jun Ruoli pushed a plate of emerald green cakes in front of Su Xiaoxiao, and said with a smile, "Use two more cakes! I remember you like this."

The serving maids were secretly startled when they heard the words.Before yesterday, Su Xiaoxiao was still a maid, did she have a close relationship with the prince at that time?Otherwise, how could the prince remember which one she likes to eat?Have you done anything excessive to offend her before?

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the pastries on the plate, a trace of embarrassment flashed across her face.The emerald green leaf-shaped pastry looks very delicate.She knows this pastry, isn't it Biye Cake? !

"Is the lord teasing me? Does the lord want to remember the pastry for a lifetime?" Su Xiaoxiao said, picking up a piece of green leaf cake and eating it.

Although it's a little embarrassing, Su Xiaoxiao naturally won't have trouble with eating, especially the extremely delicious food.

After hearing Su Xiaoxiao's words, Jun Ruoli smiled even more, and said, "This king will certainly remember such an interesting thing for the rest of his life. But why are you still wearing maid's clothes? You are no longer a maid now. .”

"I have been in the mansion as a servant girl since I was a child, and I have never left the mansion. I don't have many clothes on my own. It's not as comfortable as this one." Su Xiaoxiao said while eating, her tone was very indifferent, not because of this. Feel a little ashamed.

"It's just that the king didn't think carefully." Jun Ruoli turned her head and told a little maid: "Go and ask Nanny Jin to send someone to make some suits for Miss Su."

"No, no, no!" Su Xiaoxiao refused, "I didn't mean to ask you to give me clothes."

Jun Ruoli pointed out, "I know you don't mean that, but you still have to live here, and you can't just wear maid's clothes."

Su Xiaoxiao remembered that she still wanted to be Jun Ruoli's nominal princess, so naturally she couldn't lose Jun Ruoli's face.Even if the imperial decree is not issued, she can't walk around in maid clothes all day long.Originally, the two of them were using each other, so what Jun Ruoli gave her should be regarded as a reward.

"Then listen to the prince." Su Xiaoxiao said obediently.

"Are the people around you still dedicated?" Jun Ruoli continued to ask, "Do you need to ask Nanny Jin to arrange some smart ones for you?"

"No need." Su Xiaoxiao said, and turned to look for the little maid who fetched water for her in the morning. "One is enough for me, if there are too many, I will get annoyed."

"Alright." Jun Ruoli turned her head to look at the little maid, and ordered, "From now on, you will follow Miss Su and serve you wholeheartedly. As for the rules, you will be the same as the first-class maid in the mansion."

The little girl was overjoyed, kowtowed excitedly to Jun Ruoli and Su Xiaoxiao, and said loudly: "My servant, Qiuyue, thank the lord and Miss Su for their kindness! I will serve Miss Su wholeheartedly in the future."

After hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao was quite satisfied with this little maid named Qiuyue.At least this little maid knew to take her with her when she was thanking her.

Jun Ruoli took a look at Qiuyue, and said to Su Xiaoxiao, "I will ask Butler Zhu to give you this little maid's deed of prostitution in a while, and you will be her master in the future."

Su Xiaoxiao was surprised by Jun Ruoli's carefulness, and thought that even if it was because of this level of utilization, she didn't have to be so thoughtful about her, right?Afraid that this maid will not be dedicated, and the power of life and death will be handed over to her directly?

But no matter what, Jun Ruoli will not harm her now anyway.Jun Ruoli's kindness to her is also so that she can cooperate with him obediently in the future.For the time being, accept it with peace of mind!
In the following days, Su Xiaoxiao lived very well.The people in the house were polite to her, and Nanny Jin often asked her to choose the material and sent someone to tailor the clothes for her.Jun Ruoli also gave a lot of jewelry.

After two pleasant days, Emperor Mingzong's edict of bestowing marriage finally arrived at Prince Li's Mansion.

It was still Eunuch Li who came to proclaim the decree, with the same high-pitched voice, and still the same articulate and long drawl.

The marriage decree did not say that Su Xiaoxiao was lucky enough to marry King Li, but just made a random excuse.Said that Su Xiaoxiao rescued Li Wang who was ill at the Palace of Qinzheng, Qin Tianjian speculated that Su Xiaoxiao was Li Wang's destined person.Therefore, Emperor Mingzong complied with God's will and bestowed a marriage on King Li and Su Xiaoxiao.Several boxes of damask cloth, jewelry, and antique jade were rewarded.He ordered Su Xiaoxiao and Li Wang to get married in half a month.
