A war of words, with a strong smell of gunpowder
This dessert shop has a wide variety of products, but it also takes up a lot of space. The various pastries are placed on shelves, making the store's circulation space very narrow, and only five or six people can fit inside. Suddenly, so many people arrived, startling the other customers in the store. Some timid ones, seeing this scene, quickly put down their food and left with their heads down.
The shop owner wanted to get angry but had to put on a flattering smile, while Li Xun looked at him with disdain, always with an air of superiority. He didn't want the boss to lose more customers, so he also had to hold back his discomfort and pretend not to notice Li Xun's expression. Then, he made an effort to maintain a dignified smile, bowed his body, and said, "So it's King Jing, I pay my respects."
Li Xun gazed at her with a strange expression as she curtsied, and seeing her dignified appearance, he suddenly felt an itch in his fingers, as if he wanted to destroy the orderly look on her face that annoyed him for no reason.
When the shopkeeper heard this man's identity, he almost jumped up. In his life, he had only dealt with wealthy and noble people from middle to lower-end families. When did he see such a big shot? He was so frightened that his tongue was almost tied, and he hurriedly bowed and apologized, with a smile all over his face: "It turns out to be the king's presence, I have eyes but fail to recognize Mount Tai, please forgive me, Your Majesty..."
Looking at the shopkeeper's body almost bowing to the ground, Li Xiao slightly furrowed his brow and waved his hand, "This is none of your business, mind your own affairs."
The shopkeeper hesitated, "This..."
Li Xue's eyes glanced over faintly, the shopkeeper hastily shrunk his neck, looked at Ruqing with a sympathetic gaze, gave a "good luck to you" look, and carefully left.
With a calm and composed smile on her face, she anticipated the man's malicious intentions and took the initiative to speak up. "Last time we met in danger, thanks to your highness for lending a helping hand. I have always regretted not being able to thank you in person. Now it's fortunate that we meet again here. Please allow me to pay my respects to you once more." As she spoke, she bowed her body and paid homage with utmost respect.
"It's just a small effort, no need to make a fuss."
As if suddenly remembering something, she stood up with a sly smile and said, "Is the king also here to buy some pastries? In that case, I won't disturb you. I'll take my leave, Your Majesty can take your time selecting." As she spoke, she led her two maidservants slowly past Li Xiong's side.
Li Xiang held his hands behind his back, not giving in, grasping a malicious smile, gazing at the face that was flushed with emotion.
As if he was indeed annoyed, this guy's tall and sturdy build blocked the doorway, almost blocking half of the road. She wanted to get out from here, but had to squeeze her body sideways, otherwise she would touch his body, but doing so would be too humiliating. So she coldly said: "Trouble King Wang to move his noble carriage."
Li Xun admired her angry face, which seemed to have put on a layer of rouge due to anger, paired with thinly veiled eyes, and was indeed captivating. He suddenly felt playful and said in a low voice: "What if I don't allow it?"
"You..." As if she didn't expect him to be so shameless, she finally couldn't hold back her temper and glared at him hatefully.
"Li Xiao, you're too much!" she shouted in anger.
Li Xiu suddenly turned cold and scolded: "How dare you, daring to directly call out the king's taboo name! Do you have multiple heads?"
"The king said I have a few, so I have a few. The king wants to move them, just take them away."
Li Xuan was momentarily speechless, he had never been surprised by this little girl's sharp tongue and quick wit, but he also didn't expect her to answer in such a clever and cunning way.
"You're still not going to let me?"
"No." A very concise answer.
Even if I were so angry that I spat blood, all I could do was glare at him, and glare some more.
Li Xun admired her red face, chuckled and said: "Isn't she self-proclaimed as a deep boudoir jade? Why isn't she wearing a headscarf this time? Just exposing herself like this, it's really unbecoming of a lady."
As if by fate, only women and children love to eat dim sum, so the customers in the dim sum shop are mostly women and children. She didn't have any worries, so she boldly went to the door to personally select dim sum. Who would have thought that her luck was bad enough to vomit blood? Unfortunately, she ran into this rascal and evil mixer.
However, the reaction was not slow, and he immediately retorted: "The king loves mountains and rivers, loves beauties, but unexpectedly has another hobby, it turns out that even women's places are loved."
The tone suddenly changed, and she smiled sweetly: "I don't know which wife the king wants to pick some food for today. The king can say it out loud, looking at the king's friendship with my brother, I can help the king pick some. I suppose the king is not familiar with these small children and women's snacks. Or is the king eating them himself? My brother doesn't like these things, he always says that these romantic things will make men lose their ambition. I didn't understand before, but now I think the king's hobbies are similar to my brother's, it seems that there will be a companion in the future." As she spoke, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled, looking very surprised yet delighted.
Li Xun stared at her mischievous and playful smile, of course understanding that he was being teased, but not getting angry, instead saying lazily: "I don't like the stuff these women eat."
"What does the king like to eat?" Jianjian still had a silly smile on his face, but suddenly became furious and shouted loudly: "I know! Last time our family sent someone to deliver deer ears, tiger bones, and bullwhip. How did the king find their effect?"
“……”
I appreciate Li Xiao's pale complexion, as if his heart is filled with joy and laughter. He added a piece of firewood and said: "However, I've heard that there are many beautiful ladies in the king's residence, but until now, there hasn't been any news of good fortune. The king should make more effort! My brother has recently collected some tiger bones, deer ears, and bullwhips, unfortunately, he doesn't need them, so let's just send them all to the king."
It's a matter of face for men, this time Li Xu spat blood, pointing at him, so angry that he couldn't speak complete sentences, "You, you're just a girl, how can you say such things?"
"You're a big and tall man, how can you bully me, a weak woman?"
"So you're a weak woman?"
He nodded slightly, "I am."
"Even a weak woman can make the horse bandits fall like scattered flowers?"
"This is called Brother Tiger and Sister Dog!" This was the highest praise she had ever received in her life.
"......" Li Xiao fell over again, never seen anyone with such a thick skin.
As if seeing the fire was almost done, she said: "Your Highness, it's getting late, may I be excused to leave?"
Li Xiao said with a bad temper: "Is this king blocking your way?"
She stared at him for a long time, finally understanding that he was doing it on purpose, clearly wanting to see her embarrassed. Furious, Xiangxiang said: "Prince Jing, my sister is grateful for your great kindness last time, and thought you were a noble and just person... but it turns out... you're also this kind of person who bullies others..."
Linglong pulled her sleeve, and whispered in her ear, "Don't be afraid, sister. This man isn't carrying any weapons. If he really dares to bully you, we'll deal with him the old way."
Her voice was very soft, but Xiangxiang heard it clearly. He gave her a strange look, his eyes glanced at Li Xiao and then looked at the five sword-carrying guards outside, swallowing hard.
Linglong also discovered those few guards, but she had her own plan, continuing to whisper in her ear, "Catch the thief first catch the king." This was a phrase often used by the girls in her family.
Although Xiang felt that this method was not very reliable, it was also the only way out, so he stiffly nodded.
Li Xiu was stared at by two maidservants, his face turning dark and gloomy. These two maidservants would occasionally glance at their lower bodies with their eyes, making him feel that his male self-esteem had been severely damaged, and he couldn't help but want to grab the little woman in front of him and beat her up fiercely.
Chen Xiang had thought of a way to get rid of Ru Qing, and was just waiting for the right moment to take down his enemy... Li Xiao, however, kept staring at Ru Qing, his expression flashing with some thoughts, and suddenly spoke up: "I'll ask you, last time by the White Duck Lake shore, how did you rescue me?"
