Chapter 400 Then Take Her into the Harem
"Brother, go take a shower. I've asked the waiter to bring the hot water. I'll bring you the Yangchun noodles after you're done." Lu Can, who had entered the inn early, ran back.
It turned out that while they were chatting just now, Lu Can had already quickly ran into the inn and ordered the waiter to bring hot water to the room.
"Can'er is so nice." Lu Li gave a big smile to his caring brother.
Lu Can was suddenly overwhelmed by the beauty.
Oh my, the Ninth Princess praised him again.
Feng Qi gritted his teeth. He always felt that this brother-in-law would be the biggest stumbling block in his pursuit of his wife.
Before going to take a shower, Lu Li did not forget to assign tasks to others.
"Long Aotian, go and interrogate Xu Zhiyang and make them confess their crimes honestly. When I wake up, write a secret report to my father and tell him everything."
"Yes." Long Aotian agreed immediately.
"Can'er, please help me settle Fengqi. I have something to ask him when I wake up." Lu Li looked at Lu Can again.
"Okay." Lu Can also nodded.
Fengqi had no objection to this arrangement. It was time for Ari to have a good rest.
…
After taking a comfortable hot bath, Lu Li ate a bowl of hot Yangchun noodles before going to sleep.
When she woke up, it was already dark.
She opened the door and found that everyone had returned.
"Let's go to Can'er's room and talk." Lu Li gave the order.
Everyone gathered together.
"Tell me how things went." Lu Li's eyes swept across their faces one by one.
"Xu Zhiyang has confessed. This is their confession." Long Aotian spoke first.
Lu Li took it, looked at it, and nodded with satisfaction.
"The people have been resettled and no one was injured. The total cost of this purchase was 2,346 taels of silver." Qu Songnian also stepped forward to reply.
Fortunately, no one was killed this time, and the medical expenses were not high. The people also brought their own surplus food, so their subsidies did not cost too much money.
As for the cost of repairing the house later, we will have to wait for the officials in the Ministry of Revenue in the capital to discuss it before allocating funds.
Lu Li nodded and looked at Qin Xiao again.
"The secret letter has been written, please have a look, Princess." Qin Xiao handed over a secret report sensibly.
Lu Li looked at him with admiration.
Commander Qin Xiao was really sensible. Before she even said anything, she had already written down the whole story for her.
All she had to do was sign her name, put her fingerprints on it, and send it back to her father.
"Thank you for your hard work. I'll treat you tonight. Eat whatever you want." Lu Li gave the order readily.
"Great." The happiest person was Lu Xuan. He happily ran downstairs to order food.
When everyone walked out of Lu Can's room, they met Feng Qi standing at the end of the corridor.
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
Qu Songnian and Qin Xiao frowned. Who is this handsome man?
Could it be that the Crown Princess has already chosen candidates to fill the harem?
Lu Li was also shocked by Feng Qi's beauty.
She knew he was handsome, but she didn't expect him to be that handsome.
She had seen many handsome men over the years, but this was the first time she had seen one so stunning.
"Mr. Lu." Feng Qi smiled at her.
Lu Li nodded, and then she waved at him, remembering that she had a lot of questions to ask.
"Come here, I want to tell you something."
"Okay." Fengqi nodded.
"You guys go downstairs first. When you're done, just ask someone to call me." Lu Li looked at the others.
Everyone said "yes" and went downstairs.
Only Lu Can clenched his fists. How could the Ninth Princess be alone with this man?
This man is so attractive, he won’t let the Ninth Princess make a mistake, right?
"Miss, let's go." Seeing him standing there in a daze, Long Aotian gave him a look.
Lu Can bit his lip and followed him downstairs reluctantly.
After all, my father and mother had told me to listen to my ninth sister on the road.
After going downstairs, he was still depressed, thinking about Lu Li and Feng Qi upstairs.
Seeing that Long Aotian was at ease and calm, he couldn't help but ask.
"Aren't you worried?"
"What are you worried about?" Long Aotian asked back.
"What if he seduces the Ninth Princess?" Lu Can lowered his voice.
"Then take her into the harem." Long Aotian was a little confused by his question.
If the Crown Princess takes a fancy to him, what's the harm in bringing him back to the palace? She won't let this guy with a questionable background become the Queen anyway.
If she dies, she will just be a little beauty, and she probably won't even be able to become a concubine.
Lu Can: ...
He worries too much.
The Ninth Princess is the Crown Princess, the future Emperor, and she can have any handsome man she wants.
Brother Long doesn't seem to be worried at all about anyone competing for his affection, so he should just keep his mouth shut.
…
Downstairs, Lu Can was whispering with Long Aotian.
Upstairs, Lu Li was interrogating Feng Qi.
"Where are you from?"
"I don't remember." Feng Qi shook his head.
"Are there any relatives at home?" Lu Li asked again.
"I don't remember either." Feng Qi shook his head again.
Lu Li asked several questions in a row, and the answers were all the same.
She couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"I have nowhere to go, so I beg Master Lu to take me in. After all, you picked me up." Feng Qi softened his tone and looked at her pitifully.
"Can you cook?" Lu Li asked.
It would be nice if I could pick up a beauty who is good at cooking like my second brother-in-law.
Fengqi's face froze.
"will not."
"Then do you know medicine?" Lu Li asked again.
It would be nice to pick up a miracle doctor like the Third Brother’s master.
Feng Qi's face became even uglier, and he squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "I don't understand."
Lu Li sighed.
"So, can you brew wine?"
Fengqi: ...
This time, he didn't need to say anything, Lu Li understood the meaning in his eyes.
"That's not the case."
She frowned slightly: "You can't do this or that, do you think I'll just pick you up and eat for free?"
Fengqi was a little hurt. This was the first time he heard someone speak of him like this.
He is the King of the Divine Phoenix and the Lord of all beasts.
In A-Li's eyes, he is actually useless?
Realizing that what she said was a little unpleasant, Lu Li quickly made amends: "You are not without merits. At least you are good-looking."
[Why not keep him because he's good looking? ]
[Put it in front of you as a vase while you eat, is it also a feast for the eyes? 】
After hearing her thoughts, Feng Qi couldn't stand it anymore.
"I can fight beasts."
Hearing this, Lu Li immediately became interested.
"Are you serious?"
"It's absolutely true." Fengqi nodded.
He was afraid that if he didn't speak out, in A-Li's mind, he would be a guy with no ability who could only live off others.
Lu Li immediately ordered someone to buy a parrot.
As a result, when the parrot saw Fengqi, it immediately covered its rice-grain-sized eyes with its wings, trembled, and dared not look him in the eye.
Fengqi reached out and tapped the parrot's little forehead.
"Hello, Mr. Lu."
"Hello, Mr. Lu." The parrot imitated clumsily.
"Say, leave Fengqi behind."
"Leave Fengqi here." The parrot spoke again.
Lu Li was delighted.
This was the parrot she had specially asked someone to find. The bird seller said that this parrot was the dumbest one and could not learn to speak no matter how hard they tried.
Unexpectedly, Fengqi actually did it.
