Chapter 260: Show Attitude
Li Xi’er gestured for a long time, discovering more than one broken part. These past few days had been in vain. She sighed softly, “We have to trouble God of War Senior Brother to find materials again!”
He had originally thought she might be bored in Zui Yue Pavilion and was tinkering with little things to pass the time. Seeing her so serious, he felt a bit reluctant to let her down!
He had lost her once before and had secretly sworn not to let anyone hurt her.
“No problem!”
Looking at the messy and broken items on the ground, Feng Qingcheng looked apologetic and a bit silly: “Sorry, you wasted these past few days for nothing.”
He thought she was going to say she had wasted her efforts these past few days!
“Forget it, it’s not Senior Brother’s fault. Besides, you just saved me, so we’re even! And… hehe, Senior Brother… actually, you look really good when you’re protective!”
Li Xi’er set down the damaged generator, grabbed his arm, looked up at him with a smile, her eyes curving beautifully. Feng Qingcheng’s heart melted.
“You’re not mad anymore?”
Li Xi’er shook her head, smiling brightly, “Yeah, anyway, unlike you, I have plenty of time. I can just remake it.”
“By the way, God of War Senior Brother, is it okay for you to skip work today? Will Emperor Your Majesty get angry?”
“Of course!”
The Emperor getting angry could mean losing one’s head.
“Ah? Then what do we do? You should hurry back now. If you’re late, just apologize to him!”
“Hehe! Silly Junior Brother!”
If apologizing to the Emperor could solve the problem, it would be simple.
Seeing her sometimes happy, sometimes frowning, and now worried like this, Feng Qingcheng inexplicably felt a bit happy!
In the past, he always showed a big man’s demeanor, and sometimes he would even roughen his voice to say a few curse words for effect!
It was rare for her to show such a little girl’s posture now, making it seem especially precious.
“Actually, occasionally taking leave as the God of War isn’t impossible.”
Li Xi’er breathed a sigh of relief. So this guy had taken leave. She had worried for nothing. She said seriously to him,
“Alright! But you can’t do this next time, especially not for such a trivial little thing!”
She had eyes too, and she saw what he did for Hua Linglong.
After all, for now, he was still very good to her. Here, she seemed to have to rely on him, so it was best not to have any mishaps!
“Got it! Since it’s Junior Brother’s wish, Senior Brother will obey the order!” He indulgently scraped the tip of her perky little nose, to keep her from blaming herself!
Li Xi’er was stunned by his intimate gesture. She hadn’t expected him to be so obedient and considerate toward her.
Feeling a bit uneasy, she moved a bit farther from him, lowering her head, not knowing what she was thinking.
Feng Qingcheng felt heartbroken. What was wrong with her today? Junior Brother kept spacing out and being dazed. Could it be that she was scared by Princess Luoning’s earlier commotion!
“Report to Master, Consort Li sent you two stinky fruits.”
While he was lost in thought, the maid Yi Nan came in to report.
This stinky fruit was very hard to come by; it was actually durian. The old Imperial Consort Dowager loved it the most.
Feng Qingcheng had obtained this fruit by chance during a campaign and specially brought it back for the old Imperial Consort Dowager to try. After Consort Li tasted it, she became hooked.
Every year, Feng Qingcheng would spend a fortune to have people import it from a country called Tail in the southern border, then transport it by horse. There wasn’t much each time, but it was especially precious. After eating it, they would continue!
She was usually reluctant to share it with others, but this time when it arrived, she was willing to send him one or two.
It seemed she was trying to curry favor with him over the Princess Luoning matter earlier, not wanting to strain their relationship!
It also made clear her attitude; she didn’t want to have a falling out with him either.
Feng Qingcheng said indifferently: “Got it, bring them in!”
Thinking for a moment, he continued: “Tell the person who brought the fruit that this prince thanks Mother for her grace. I will go over at dinnertime to keep her company!”
“Yes!”
