After entering the hall, Li Chuan's eyes lit up. The decorations in the hall were very elegant and exquisite.
From time to time, he could smell the fragrance of flowers, which was intoxicating.
"Master, welcome back."
At this moment, a light and pleasant voice entered Li Chuan's ears.
Li Chuan looked in the direction of the voice. A young girl was standing at the lobby window with a pair of scissors in her hand. It was obvious that she had just been repairing the blooming gardenia beside the windowsill.
No wonder there was a fragrance of flowers just now. It was because of these gardenia flowers.
The cold rain stopped on the river today, and the beautiful scenery in the fence was winding.
Peach and plum trees are old, but gardenia and red pepper are different.
He thought of a few lines of Du Fu's poem and ignored the last few lines. These four lines said that a bumper harvest was in sight. From the looks of it, he had some thoughts when he saw the gardenia.
"And you are?" Then, Li Chuan's gaze fell on the young girl in confusion as he asked.
"Master, I am the housekeeper of the residence…"
Hearing this, the young girl immediately placed the scissors in her hand on the windowsill and bowed respectfully.
"Butler?"
Li Chuan was dumbfounded. In his impression, shouldn't a butler be a burly man with a big beard?
"Don't you think so, Master? Everything in this residence was taken care of by my daughter. If Old Master is not satisfied with anything, please instruct him.”When the girl saw Li Chuan's expression, she was a little nervous, like a frightened white rabbit, making people want to pity her.
"No, I'm very satisfied. It's just that you..."
Li Chuan subconsciously said. Then, he changed the topic and pointed at the girl. He looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated. He stammered for a long time but could not say anything.
"Master, what's wrong with my daughter?" The girl felt a little wronged. She looked at Li Chuan with teary eyes, as if she was about to cry.
"Nothing. What's your name? How old are you?" Li Chuan thought for a moment and felt that this woman was a little unusual, so he asked directly.
In his opinion, he would not want any of the people in this residence in the future.
"Master, my name is Li Yueying. I'm seventeen years old this year.”The young girl was a little shy as she softly said.
"Hmm? Seventeen years old, that's the same age as me…Li Yueying, Li…Wait, your surname is Li? Who is the Crown Prince to you?"
Li Chuan suddenly shivered and looked at the girl warily, as if he could smell a conspiracy.
"Replying to Old Master, Your Highness the Crown Prince, according to the genealogy, he should be my cousin.”
Li Yueying answered truthfully.
What was Li Er up to?
When Li Chuan heard this, he was surprisingly calm. This Act Tough King wanted to trick him?
After Li Yuan had taken over the world, he had been conferred the title of the Li Clan's relative. Logically speaking, Li Yueying should be a princess, right?
Let the princess be his butler? What kind of joke was this?
If there was no conspiracy, Li Chuan would never believe it. But what conspiracy was there?
After thinking for a long time, Li Chuan still couldn't come up with a reason. However, the way he looked at Li Yueying began to be filled with vigilance. It was as if he was looking at a ferocious beast and not a delicate beauty.
Li Yueying also noticed Li Chuan's strange gaze and immediately felt very strange.
"Haha…"
Li Chuan suddenly laughed loudly.
"Why is Master laughing?"
Li Yueying asked.
"What master! Princess, you must be joking. This isn't fun at all. You're a daughter of a thousand gold. I can't bear the responsibility.”
Li Chuan's mouth twitched as he said unhappily.
"Old Master has misunderstood. Yue Ying is no longer a princess.”
As Li Yueying said this, her eyes darkened and her face revealed a lonely expression.
"What do you mean not a princess?"
Li Chuan asked subconsciously.
"My father was indeed conferred the title of Prince of Xiaoshan, but he committed a grave mistake in less than a year. His Majesty had long stripped him of his title and demoted him to a commoner.”
Li Yueying sighed. It was obvious that she had mixed feelings about her father, and she was a little disappointed that he did not live up to her expectations.
"Hmm? Is that so?"
Li Chuan was stunned for a moment before muttering to himself.
He quickly calculated in his heart and immediately sorted out the key points. A phoenix that had lost its feathers was not a chicken, right?
He wanted the princess of the Li Clan to be his housekeeper?
To put it bluntly, they were high-level servants.
"Princess…"
Li Chuan was interrupted before he could finish his sentence.
"Old Master, Yue Ying is no longer a princess. You can't just call her that.”
Li Yueying quickly reminded him.
"Alright then! You can leave! Regardless of whether you are the princess or not, my temple is too small to accommodate a great Buddha like you.”
Li Chuan's tone was firm, as if he could not deny it.
"Plop…"
When Li Yueying heard this, her face turned pale as if she had been struck by lightning. She gritted her teeth and knelt down.
Li Chuan immediately widened his eyes and said in disbelief,"What are you doing?"
"Master, please don't chase Yue Ying away.”
Li Yueying begged, tears falling down her pretty face.
Li Chuan frowned. He was a very principled person. If he didn't make a decision, he would be disturbed.
Was he playing a trick on her?
"Give me a reason not to chase you away. Otherwise, you're still a relative of the Li Imperial Family, so you can be considered a relative of the royal family. Even if you don't have a noble title, it's hard to guarantee that you won't gossip if others find out.”
Li Chuan kicked the ball back and looked at this stubborn girl. What was the reason? Even if he didn't want his dignity, he still wanted to stay in his own residence?
