Chapter 231 Dou Huaixiu
"Your Highness! How did you think of inviting me to have lunch with you?" As soon as noon arrived, Wang Quan led Xiao Liangdi to Guangtian Palace.
"I missed you! That's why I asked Wang Quan to invite you here. I know you must be lonely eating alone, so I'm here to have lunch with you!" Li Chengqian said.
"Your Highness, you are joking!" Xiao Liangdi said.
"Come and sit next to me!" Just as Xiao Liangdi was about to sit down, Li Chengqian asked her to sit with him.
Just as Xiao Liangdi sat down, Li Chengqian said, "Do you know why I want you to sit next to me?"
Xiao Liangdi squinted her big watery eyes and shook her head. How could she guess what the prince meant?
"This way I can always keep an eye on you!" Li
Chengqian said. "Your Highness!" Xiao Liangdi blushed.
"I found you very special today!" Li Chengqian said.
"Uh! What's special about me?" Xiao Liangdi asked in confusion, secretly looking at herself. There was nothing wrong with her outfit today.
"You are particularly pleasing to me today!" Li Chengqian said.
Xiao Liangdi smiled and lowered her head. What woman doesn't like to be liked by her man?
Li Chengqian took the opportunity to pull Xiao Liangdi into his arms. Li Chengqian blurted out all kinds of sweet words, which made Xiao Liangdi very happy and her heart was immediately overjoyed.
As a person who traveled from the future, he could easily come up with earthy love words without any pressure, and he turned into a master of picking up girls in a minute.
"Your Highness! Have you ever said such sweet words to the Crown Princess before? They are so sweet to my heart." Xiao Liangdi looked up at Li Chengqian's face.
"No! I said these sweet words to you alone, and no one else has heard them so far." Li Chengqian said.
He was telling the truth. Before he traveled through time in his previous life, he was a fat otaku who rarely went out of the house. How could he have the opportunity to say sweet words to others?
As for the Crown Princess, it was even more impossible! Li Chengqian didn't understand any sweet words before. After he traveled through time, he only met the Crown Princess a few times!
They didn't say much, let alone say sweet words. That was impossible.
Now he only said this to Xiao Liangdi, and he couldn't guarantee whether he would say it to other people in the future.
In short, Xiao Liangdi had to be happy now! Only then can she help him do things well.
Xiao Liangdi had no idea what the Crown Prince was thinking. When she found out that these sweet words were only said to her, she was extremely happy and felt refreshed.
"Liangdi! I want you to help me with something. Are you willing?" After flirting for a while and finishing the meal, Li Chengqian finally got to the point.
"Your Highness, just say it. I will definitely help Your Highness as long as I can do it!" Xiao Liangdi said.
Li Chengqian whispered a few words in Xiao Liangdi's ear, telling her his intention and asking her to test Princess Lanling's attitude on his behalf.
After all, Xiao Liangdi is smart, she will know what to do, and she has a good relationship with Princess Lanling!
Although they are not close friends, they have a deep relationship.
"Don't worry, Your Highness! Just leave this little thing to me!" Xiao Liangdi patted her chest and said.
Xiao Liangdi is not someone who helps the prince because of Li Chengqian's sweet words.
She is a smart woman who knows how to capture a man's heart. Only by getting things done can she get more favor from the man in front of her.
"Okay! I will go to your place tonight to sleep and tell you about my lovesickness." Li Chengqian said.
This was considered a consensus. Li Chengqian could stay overnight at Xiao Liangdi's place and get information without being suspected.
After the two of them were bored for a while, Xiao Liangdi left Guangtian Palace. After putting on makeup, she went to invite Princess Lanling to play with her.
The Crown Prince sent someone to invite Dou Huaiqiao to the palace. He wanted to get to know this young man better. This was called a two-pronged approach.
"Wang Quan, go to the residence of the Supervisor of the Imperial Household Dou Desu and invite Dou Huaiqiao to my East Palace. I want to have a good chat with him." Li Chengqian said.
"Yes!" Wang Quan took the order and left. Although he didn't know why the prince suddenly wanted to see Dou Huaixiu, he didn't say much. He just did what his master told him to do.
After Wang Quan went to Dou Desu's house and explained his purpose, the whole Dou family was overjoyed. Dou Huaixiu dressed up and followed Wang Quan into the palace to meet the prince. Before
leaving, Dou Huaixiu's father Dou Desu repeatedly warned him, fearing that Dou Huaixiu didn't know the rules and would offend the prince! Let him deal with it well.
This is related to Dou Huaixiu's future. Dou Desu couldn't help but take it seriously. He served the prince well! He was afraid that he would not have a bright future. Dou Desu
nagging for most of the day, and Wang Quan was impatient, so he let Dou Huaixiu go at Wang Quan's urging.
"My dear! Here comes Dou Huaixiu!" As soon as Wang Quan returned
to the East Palace, he took Dou Huaixiu to see Li Chengqian. "Dou Huaixiu pays respect to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Dou
Huaixiu bowed to Li Chengqian. "No need to bow! Please take a seat!" Li Chengqian raised his head and said.
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Dou Huaixiu thanked him.
Li Chengqian looked at Dou Huaixiu carefully. Dou Huaixiu looked quite decent. Although he was not handsome, he was not ugly.
Otherwise, Li Er would not have chosen him as his son-in-law. The Li family had requirements for appearance.
"Huaixiu! Don't be so reserved. Your grandfather is the elder brother of my grandmother, Empress Taimu, and the uncle of my father, and you are my cousin."
"Your family and mine are very close! Don't be so distant. We should get to know each other more often in the future. Don't you agree?" Li Chengqian said with a smile.
"Your Highness is right!" Dou Huaixiu was a little nervous.
"Huaixiu! I heard that your calligraphy is quite good. I have a few paintings here. I want you to appreciate them. I wonder if you agree!" Li Chengqian said.
"Your Highness has given orders, and Huaixiu will obey them." Dou Huaixiu said.
"Okay!" Li Chengqian said, "Go and get those calligraphy and paintings that I have collected for Dou Huaiqiu to appreciate."
"Yes!" The eunuch took the order and left. After a moment, he returned with the calligraphy and paintings collected by the crown prince.
The eunuch placed the calligraphy and paintings in front of Dou Huaiqiu, and Li Chengqian gestured for Dou Huaiqiu to appreciate them.
When it comes to appreciating calligraphy and paintings, Dou Huaiqiu is still somewhat confident. He has been pondering this art, especially the works of famous artists, Dou Huaiqiu likes them all.
Especially Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, what a pity! Dou Huaiqiu has never had the chance to obtain Wang Xizhi's calligraphy. Dou Huaiqiu
is worthy of being an expert in calligraphy. He commented on these calligraphy and paintings of Li Chengqian, and even the source of them, Dou Huaiqiu can do it easily.
"Your Highness, these are all authentic works!" Dou Huaiqiu couldn't let go, but these were all Li Chengqian's collections. No matter how much he liked them, he didn't dare to take them away directly.
"If Huaiqiu likes them, how about I give these calligraphy and paintings to Huaiqiu?" Li Chengqian asked.
"Really?" Dou Huaiqiu was overjoyed!
"Really!" Li Chengqian nodded.
These calligraphy and paintings were a form of compensation for breaking up him and Princess Lanling.
