Chapter 879 Extra: Earning Money to Support a Gigolo (2)
"Cough cough!!"
A dissatisfied cough sounded, and Li Shen's intoxicated eyes suddenly cleared up. Noticing the slightly displeased look beside him, he quickly lowered his head, "Your Highness, Princess, please forgive me! I, my humble servant, did not mean it!"
Shu He looked back at Baili Moqing and couldn't help rolling his eyes.
Next time a woman stares at him, she should cough twice to see if he feels embarrassed!
"Come on, I'll take you to see those things that will make you 'bold' enough to even dare to break into the princess's mansion!"
"Yes!"
Li Shen lowered his head, but his face was full of surprise, and he almost fainted with joy!
Because he was led by Baili Moqing and Shu He, Li Shen's arrival did not attract much attention from the people in the princess's mansion.
Along the way, he kept his head down, and apart from the sound of servants paying their respects to the prince and princess, he didn't hear any other noise.
This noble compound is different. If a stranger came to the Li family, the servants would have started talking about it a long time ago, and some of them would even be brave enough to come up and ask questions!
However, when he thought that the entire princess's mansion should be quiet and solemn, he suddenly heard faint laughter and lively conversation coming from the front.
He looked up in surprise. There must be at least ten people making this sound, right?
Is it possible to talk and laugh so freely in this princess's mansion?
Baili Moqing and Shu He walked in front, at a leisurely pace, and ignored his surprise.
It was not until they passed through the corridor and arrived at the back courtyard that Li Shen's steps, which had been following closely, stopped uncontrollably.
Could it be that he entered the wrong yard?
This noisy place is the backyard of the princess's mansion?
The front yard is solemn and dignified, but why does this place look like a busy neighborhood?
And there are lanterns?!
The princess’s mansion held a lantern festival?
Seeing that he didn't move, Shu He stopped and asked, "Why don't you leave?"
“Huh? Let’s go…let’s go!!”
He followed cautiously, always feeling that the scene before him was a little unreal.
When he got closer, Nanqi immediately noticed that there was an extra person in the yard.
They had even dismissed the servants during their "camping" today, so how come the prince and princess brought another servant with them... Uh, that's not right, looking at his clothes, he doesn't seem to be a servant.
He nudged Jiang Dongping next to him and asked, "Who is following behind the prince and princess? Why haven't I seen them before?"
Jiang Dongping shook his head. Nanqi had been with Baili Moqing the longest, and he had never met that person, so how could he recognize him?
At once, everyone's eyes turned to him, and Li Shen was so frightened that his feet stopped again.
"Mother!!"
Yi'er saw a stranger coming and immediately ran over, staring at Li Shen curiously, "Mother, who is this uncle?"
When Li Shen heard the word "uncle", his knees went weak and he almost fell to his knees!
Calling the princess "mother", doesn't that mean the little girl in front of him is Princess Yongning?
He is not worthy of being the princess's "uncle"! !
Shu He patted her little head and said with a smile: "Well, we can be considered partners!"
If you really decide to do the hot pot and barbecue business, then Li Shen will be your partner!
"Hello, Uncle Buddy!!"
Yi'er waved and greeted Li Shen, which scared him so much that he broke out in a sweat. He didn't know whether to respond or not.
Shu He noticed his embarrassment and immediately said to Yi'er, "Be good, go play with Sister Ziyuan and the others. Mother has important things to do!"
After hearing this, Yi'er nodded obediently, then waved to Li Shen, "Goodbye, uncle buddy!"
After Yi'er left, Li Shen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard the princess call out "Princess, Prince Consort!"
He turned around and immediately realized that the two people walking towards them were the masters of this princess's mansion: Princess Ruyun and her husband Li Zhengru!
He raised his head again in one breath and bowed ninety degrees to the two men, "I, Li Shen, pay my respects to the Princess and Mr. Zhengru!"
Baili Ruyun gently raised her hand, "Get up."
Since the person was brought by the seventh brother and his wife, she would not act like a princess.
There was a hint of admiration in Li Zuo's eyes when he looked at Li Shen.
This guy is not bad. Calling him "Mr. Zhengru" instead of "Prince Consort" shows that in his mind, his identity is still a famous scholar in Yifang City, rather than the princess's prince consort.
Although he doesn't particularly care about this title, he is still happier to be himself.
"Sister Ah He, this is..."
Baili Ruyun didn't know what she meant by "partner" just now. Did she mean business partner?
"This gentleman smelled the aroma of our barbecue and hot pot outside, and bravely came to the princess's mansion, wanting to do business with us!"
"I thought he was quite courageous, so I brought him in to see if this business had any future."
"Breaking into the Princess's mansion?" Baili Ruyun exclaimed in surprise. If someone had broken into the mansion, a servant would have reported it, right? Why hadn't she received any news?
Shu He smiled and said, "He didn't break in. He was stopped outside. We found out how to get out."
Baili Ruyun nodded, a glint of understanding flashing in his eyes, "You are indeed very courageous and bold."
No one has ever dared to enter her princess's mansion for so many years!
Li Shen didn't dare to guess what the Third Princess meant, and quickly knelt down to apologize and beg for mercy, "I broke into the mansion on impulse, and I meant no harm. Please forgive me, Your Highness!"
Baili Ruyun said calmly, "Get up. I don't mean to blame you."
Li Zuo also said, "Since Prince Li and Princess Li have chosen this person, I think he must have some outstanding qualities. Brother, please don't let them down."
Li Shen stood up with great effort, but he couldn't straighten his back.
He quickly said, "I understand, I understand!"
Shu He finally experienced what it meant to be "sweating profusely".
At this moment, Li Shen fully interpreted this word to the fullest!
The sweat on his forehead couldn't be wiped away, the clothes on his back were slightly damp, and the hem of his clothes kept shaking. You can imagine how badly his legs were shaking.
Shu He couldn't help but laugh, patted his shoulder, and comforted him: "Don't be so nervous, we are not beasts, we don't eat people!"
Li Shen's expression changed again, and he quickly said, "Don't panic! I'm not panicking!"
He said he was not panicking, but his cupped hands were still shaking.
Seeing this, Baili Ruyun immediately said, "You guys chat, I'm here. I'm afraid this gentleman is so scared that he can't even speak."
Shu He was helpless and cast a grateful look towards Baili Ruyun.
She said to Li Shen behind her, "Come over here."
They came to the barbecue stall, and Shu He said, "This is barbecue, grilling meat over charcoal fire, but the ingredients and the heat are very particular..."
Shu He gave a brief introduction.
Li Shen was so engrossed in listening that he almost forgot where he was.
After remembering the contents, he raised his head and immediately met two handsome but smiling faces.
Well, although he looks pretty, he looks a bit silly.
Not every servant in the princess's mansion is well behaved! In front of the prince and princess, they dared to look directly at her and smile foolishly!
