Chapter 162 Okay, Okay
Xiao Jing looked at Li Ruanruan: "You are not like this in front of the prince."
"I have feelings for him, and of course I don't want him to be concerned about me or afraid of me."
Li Ruanruan continued, "Even if Your Highness becomes a powerful person in the future, and I give myself to Your Highness, will Your Highness be afraid if a woman as smart as me sleeps beside him? If my son becomes a prince in the future..."
Xiao Jing understood what Li Ruanruan meant: "You really make me afraid."
Li Ruanruan lowered her head and chuckled softly: "The more dangerous, the more charming. But Your Highness should stay as far away from people like me as possible."
It was the first time that Xiao Jing was left speechless by a woman, a maid at that.
He paced around Li Ruanruan, clapping his fan in his palm.
"good."
"Okay, okay."
After hearing four "good"s in a row, he had already made up his mind.
Sitting back down opposite Li Ruanruan: "I want to make a deal with you."
Li Ruanruan stood up and knelt respectfully, saying sincerely, "Thank you, Prince."
"What do you want in exchange?"
"Liuli, has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince heard of this?"
"It's something from overseas. I've seen it among the tributes. It's quite rare. Only my father has it in his collection."
"I can give the Crown Prince a lot of glass, better and more beautiful. Special glass can be used to extract alcohol more conveniently."
Xiao Jing stared at Li Ruanruan without blinking, because he knew that everything Li Ruanruan said was true and not a single word was false.
But it was precisely because of this that he couldn't take his eyes off her. He felt that she was a treasure trove and that whatever she took out was the best, but she always had the best.
What is thrown out is more surprising than the last.
This was a glass ornament that only her father owned in the palace, but she told him that he could have as many as he wanted.
Who wouldn’t be moved?
He was moved.
She used such a rare and precious thing, something of great value and benefit, to exchange with him, and all she got was freedom.
He began to feel sorry for her.
It's hard to refuse her anymore. What she wanted from the beginning to the end was just freedom.
It is something that countless daughters of common people have from birth.
But if she wants it, it will cost her so much.
No wonder she wanted to escape from here. She herself had lived such a hard life, how could she bear to let her children live as hard and cautiously as she did.
Women are weak by nature, but they become strong when they become mothers.
It was also fully demonstrated in her.
Li Ruanruan only spoke her thoughts in a calm voice, her voice still a little soft, but firm: "I can bake some first for the Crown Prince to play with, or use. After I take my family out of the Marquis' Mansion and reach a safe place, I will hand over everything I know to the Crown Prince's people. Before that, the Crown Prince can send someone to monitor me."
After a long time, Xiao Jing sighed: "I have never seen a woman like you."
Li Runrun felt frustrated as she had said a lot of important things but the other party didn't listen at all.
I couldn't help but smile, but the smile didn't reach my eyes, only tiredness.
I can't help but complain. What is going on in the prince's mind? Isn't he a wise ruler? Why is his mind full of women, especially a married woman like her?
At this moment, Li Runnuo really thought about going to other princes for help.
There are those who have no brains, and naturally there are those who have brains.
Xiao Jing didn't know that Li Runrun had already betrayed him several times during this period.
He just sighed again and finally said, "Why wouldn't I agree to your request?"
Li Runrun finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing these accurate words.
I hope that the person the Crown Prince follows is the wise ruler who has not made a mistake.
Otherwise, the people in this world would suffer too much.
Xiao Jing tapped the table lightly with his index finger before saying, "The prince is not someone who can be easily fooled. Why don't you just stop running away? I'll find a way to grant you a status and make you his concubine."
Li Runrun was silent for a long time. She seemed to be persuaded and hesitated.
In the end, he still shook his head: "I want to escape."
She had lived in this mansion since she was born, and her memories of her childhood were not very clear, but she had never seen the outside world.
Since we only live once, we should live it to the fullest.
In the rest of her life, she wants to live for herself.
She wants freedom.
Being a concubine sounds noble, but it is just like being a bird in a cage. It changes from a gray sparrow to an expensive canary, but it is still in the same cage.
How can you be as free as a swallow flying in the sky?
Li Ruanruan looked out the window and said for a long while, "The sky is high and the birds can fly freely."
Xiao Jing looked at her like this, he didn't know what it felt like. He had everything since he was born, he was smart, and he could get everything he wanted, except... her in front of him.
But at this moment, when he looked at her, he felt distressed and empathetic, and even understood what she wanted.
At this moment, he was so reluctant to let her be sad, as if he could give her anything as long as she smiled.
He didn't know what it was yet.
When I understood it, I realized that this was the only time in my life that I was so moved by this person.
When he was still young as an emperor.
So Xiao Jing said, "Then you should leave on the day of the prince's wedding. He will be the busiest that day, and the mansion will be the most chaotic. He will have no time to take care of you."
Li Runrun withdrew her gaze from the window, she looked at Xiao Jing, then lowered her head and smiled carefully and obediently.
With the joy of success, he said, "Thank you, Your Highness."
At this moment, it seemed as if her previous calm and clear-headed appearance was just a forced facade.
After removing the thorny shell, she was so soft and white inside, making him want to reach out and touch her softness.
Only at that moment when she let down her guard could he avoid being stabbed by her.
So, Xiao Jing reached out and stroked her face.
Li Runrun was horrified and looked up at him. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she saw pampering and indulgence in Xiao Jing's eyes.
It's so scary.
Li Ruanruan hurriedly stood up, pretending nothing had happened. She saluted him and said, "Now that the matter has been settled, I will go back and prepare. Your Highness, please prepare the capable people and materials, and send the secret guards to inform me. I will rush to make the glass."
Li Ruanruan took out the folded paper from her sleeve and placed it respectfully on the tea table: "Here are the necessary materials and some lists. If everything is fine, I'll be back. I'm afraid the prince will get suspicious if I stay out for too long."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave without him nodding.
Xiao Jing said, "Stop."
Li Ruanruan froze, but turned back: "Is there anything else?"
Xiao Jing stretched out his hand towards her: "Before coming here, you went to the jewelry store. What did you buy? Let me see."
Li Ruanruan: “........”
How did he know.
I don’t know what the prince is up to.
Li Ruanruan then said, "It's in the carriage. I didn't bring it up."
I just didn't bring it up to guard against him.
But Xiao Jingyan said, "I'll ask the secret guards to get it."
Li Ruanruan clenched her fists. "Is there any more of this?" What's wrong with this? Is it so difficult to save some private money?
