Su Ji looked at Tuoba Li who was walking towards her. His clothes were a little messy today, but his charming face was still as charming as ever.
A faint smile was still hanging on his face, and his green clothes made him look especially dazzling.
The only flaw was that his complexion wasn't very good. It was a little dark, but his eyes were still so lively. He could even make many beautiful women 'hug' him.
His smile was enough to topple a city with a single smile. It seemed that there was someone more beautiful than him besides him. When I saw his arrival, I actually fell into a reverie.
'If I didn't change into my ugly appearance and show my real face to others, perhaps everyone would be defeated by Su Ji's skirt.' This was Su Ji's true feeling.
Su Ji is me, and I am Su Ji, an ordinary and happy little girl.
I, Wang Yating, am Su Ji. I want to find a man who not only loves this beautiful face, but who truly loves me as a person. I want to spend the rest of my life with him.
Su Ji stood rooted to the ground and watched as Tuoba Li's alluring face moved closer to her. She was extremely puzzled.
"Miss Wang, what are you looking at?”
I was woken up by a gust of hot air and realized that we couldn't get any closer.
I took a step back and didn't bow to him. I straightened my body and said,"Wangye, what's the matter?”
" It's nothing urgent. It's just that Mu Heng said that the flowers you planted might be suitable for me and can help me lift my spirits. That's why I want to ask you for help. Think of a way to help me deal with the country's affairs better.”
Clearly, Tuoba Li was making a mountain out of a molehill. He had been reading the memorials that his cousin had secretly sent over these past few days. He had only deliberately worn Mu Heng out so that he would have a reason to keep Wang Yating in the residence, lest the White Fox Hall made the first move.
He had a profound Internal Strength. He had been practicing martial arts with his cousin and Su Ji since he was young. It wasn't a lie. It was real. He had practiced it day by day. He adjusted his breath and held his breath every day to improve his Internal Strength. This was something that he had never stopped doing in the past seventeen years.
Among the three of them, he was the least diligent in practicing martial arts. He always felt that practicing martial arts was too tiring. As long as it was for Su Ji, he had never flinched since he was young. Even if he had to exchange his life for it, he would never say no. Now, he was just practicing martial arts without sleep or rest and reading memorials. It was a piece of cake for him.
My little brain had already thought about what I was going to say to Tuoba Li when I saw him.
"I thought of the fact that you saved me and even helped me twice. I saw that you were so tired and didn't want the people around you to suffer. Therefore, I wanted to do something for you to help you so that you could effectively arrange your life and deal with political affairs.”
I'll give the topic to him again and see what he thinks. Whether or not he wanted to plant flowers.
I know that only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win a hundred battles. First, I have to figure out his thoughts and then prescribe the right medicine. This is the prerequisite for success.
"I think Mu Heng's view is right. That's why I'm here to ask you what you think.”
"Oh, is that so? Alright, I won't stand on ceremony then. Although I am a woman, I am still very proficient in flowers and plants. So as long as Your Highness agrees with me, I believe that I will definitely find a flower that suits you and improve your bodily functions. It will allow you to devote yourself to your political affairs with a hundred times more spirit. At the same time, it will not damage your body and will make your mansion ten thousand times more beautiful!”
Actually, I was exaggerating. Flowers can only refresh him. How can they have so many effects? I'm also cooperating with his nonsensical thoughts. Who asked him to be mean to his subordinates? Serves you right, you spent money.
"But because I still have to do business every day, my time is limited. I might be a little slow to find the right flowers. Also, I'm just a small businessman, so wangye has to pay me a certain amount of silver to buy the seeds and flowers I need."
" Alright, you can get the silver from the butler. Just tell me how much you need. I won't go back on my word, but you have to hurry up. I've had too many things to deal with recently, and I have no choice but to keep Mu Heng by my side. If it takes too long, I'm afraid my guards won't be able to take it. Please think of a way, Miss. Hurry up!"”
" Well..." I hesitated." Alright, I'll set up a flowerbed in a convenient place for you. I'll try my best to find the right flowers for you. What do you think?"”
" Garden, no problem. As for the time..." He was silent for a few seconds." Alright, but I think you can live in my palace. The business can be handed over to someone else. You come here first. When you find a suitable flower, I'll pay you. And you can decide how much silver you need. It's best if it's half a year. Is that okay?"”
"I set my own wages.”I didn't expect him to actually agree, but he let me live in the prince's residence and even gave me a monthly salary. I have to think about it.
"Alright, let me go home and discuss it properly. I'll give you an answer tomorrow."
"Alright, I'll wait for your news. Come, serve some tea first. We can't treat guests like this, right?”Tuoba Li shouted at the person beside him.
His noble expression made me understand that his holiness was inviolable and that I must not become his fan. He was a figure that even my scaling ladder could not reach.
Even if I stand here as Su Ji, I'm afraid I'm just a beauty who's been neglected.
I stood up from my chair when I saw the servants quickly leave.
"Your highness, since we have come to an agreement, I will take my leave. I am just a commoner, how can I have the treatment of a distinguished guest? I will remember what you have said and take my leave now."
This time, I cupped my hands and left.
Tuoba Li did not stop him. He was indeed a little angry. If it were any other woman, she would be very happy and dance around when she heard that she could enter the Imperial Residence.
And she's just an ugly woman, yet she still wants to go home and discuss it first. There's no joy on her face at all. She's really infuriating me.
If you didn't stick to Su Ji's side, I wouldn't have spent so much effort to let you come to the mansion. Meeting such a woman is really hard to predict.
Tuoba Li sat on a chair in the living room alone and was in a daze for a long time.
Su Ji walked out of the mansion. Sure enough, Mu Heng was waiting anxiously at the door. This comforted me as I didn't hurt so many brain cells for him in vain.
Moreover, it was only for such a small matter. The reason was that this Prince Mei had come up with such a boring problem. Forget it, it was a boring person against a boring person.
Of course, am I also a boring person? He was so bored that he cared about such a small matter.
Zheng Jun sat at the table and waited for me to come back. Lan Zhi sat at the door and waited for me. I ate slowly and didn't see the strange behavior of the two people beside me.
"Hey, you're eating just like that. We're waiting for you to say something. Otherwise, how can we eat?”Zheng Jun's teasing voice sounded again.
"Are you concerned about me?" I reached out to touch his head to see if he had a fever.
"As your sister, I'm very gratified!”I point to my heart,"I'm really touched"
“嗛! Come on, I just wanted to see how frustrated you looked. It seems that you have no choice this time! I won't care about an ugly monster like you.”
Zheng Jun's face suddenly turned red. He was glad that this so-called sister did not notice his abnormal behavior.
Ever since he peeked at her body that day, his initial blush had finally returned to normal. Today, when he mentioned ugly, he felt that he was talking about himself. He only knew how to judge people by their appearances. In fact, the ugly woman in front of him was not ugly at all. She was just pretending to be ugly.
It was strange. All women loved beauty, so why did she make herself so ugly? Could it be that she was hiding something, or was she afraid that people would recognize her true identity? What was the mystery? I will definitely find out.
Zheng Jun thought to himself.
"I won't be laughed at. Tuoba Li has already agreed to my request. He only requested for me to stay in the residence for half a year. Hence, I'm still hesitating about how to arrange my daily schedule so that I can attend to both my family and the Imperial Residence.”
"Ah! Girl, you want to go to the prince's mansion. Don't tell me you also like that King Jing?”Lan Zhi held my hand and asked anxiously.
"How could that be? I don't like men who are more charming than women. Besides, he's a prince. I don't like him even more. I just want to help Mu Heng and earn more money. Isn't that great?”I said while biting my chopsticks.
"No, what kind of place is the Prince's Mansion? "We can't be at home when we get there. I'm worried that if you accidentally anger His Highness that day, your life might not…" Lan Zhi didn't explain.
But I understand. I don't know his highness 'temperament, but in this era, he has the power of life and death that ordinary people don't have, let alone under his hands. For Mu Heng's sake, I'll admit it.
" Don't worry, I'll take care of it. You don't have to worry. I understand. I'll be careful. I'll go back to my room now and think about my future plans." Before they could speak, I walked out.
I went into the house and started writing my first contract.
"I am Wang Yating. From today onwards, I will start to plant flowers in King Jing's mansion. I will be responsible for finding flowers suitable for your highness and planting the flowers in the designated area. I have ten days of rest every month. The specific dates will be adjusted appropriately by myself. My daily salary is one tael. All the expenses of my food, clothing, and accommodation in the mansion will be borne by the mansion. The conditions of my food and accommodation must meet Wang Yating's requirements and cannot be changed without permission. During the period of being a flower servant in the wang fu, wangye should try his best to cooperate with my flower planting method. He should not interfere with my wishes and actions at will, and ensure my personal safety. He should not punish me at will. And…"
I finished writing in one breath, folded it and put it in my clothes before walking out of the room.
Under godfather's guidance, I revised this contract.
The next day, they arrived at the manor as promised. The courtyard was very large, and the grass beside the stone steps was very smooth. It seemed that someone had specially repaired it.
The trees on both sides were also very lush, each standing upright, giving people a sense of vitality.
Magnificent buildings and magnificent halls were worthy of the identity of a prince.
" Please." This time, there were already four warriors standing outside the hall, indicating that I could enter.
"You're here. Have a seat? But have you thought about it?" Tuoba Li calmly raised his head and looked at me.
"Yes, I've thought it through. I can live in the Prince's mansion and plant flowers in the garden, but you have to sign this contract before I can plant flowers here."
I took out the contract and handed it to Tuoba Li.
He casually raised his eyes and looked at me. His eyes were filled with surprise. After being stunned for a while, he suddenly laughed.
"Good! Good! Do I need to write anything?"
" Then, write your name here and stamp your handprint here. Remember, don't go back on your word, or I'll…" I paused.
Tuoba Li's face was already blossoming with smiles. He stared at me as if he was looking at a monster.
I don't want to care too much. What should come will come. I can't think too much. I want to compare my life with Su Ji's. Who is the master?
I took back the signed contract and said bluntly,"Alright then, when can I come to the residence to work?”
"Right away! I'll get Mu Heng to retrieve your items. How about that?”
" Okay, no problem. I'll go prepare now." After saying that, I left his study.
I was right, because there were a few books on the table in front of him.
Under the guidance of a female servant, she came to a very small room not far away. It was very dark inside, with only a bed and a table.
"Lady Wang, this is your room. His Highness has instructed that if you need anything, feel free to look for me. I'm in the courtyard next door. I'm a female servant in his Highness's room. If you need anything, just call me."
"Alright, thank you!" I saw this woman dressed in pink clothes. She was about my age, but she looked very smart. She was indeed worthy of being his highness 'personal servant girl. She had the dignity of a master.
She did not say anything and left.
Su Ji glanced around. It was clean except for a layer of dust. There was no blanket on the bed, only a layer of straw.
"Sigh, I've been doted on by my parents since I was young. I'm not rich, but I've never served anyone. Today, I've become someone else's servant. Who asked me to have my family now? So what if I sacrifice a little for my family? Was this also a form of training? Mom always said that lazy people would suffer in the end. It seemed that this was true.”
I looked at the candlestick on the table and whispered in a desolate voice.
"Why? Do you regret it? Why don't you come to my place? How about I treat you as a VIP?"
I was so focused on the desolation in front of me that I didn't notice a man in purple sitting on the bed looking at me.
"Ouch!" Another series of sighs.
