The Male Lead’s Backyard is on Fire

"Why doesn't the girl drink tea? Isn't it accustomed to drink it? Come here, give this girl a new cup of tea that I just purchased from Yan Guo this year." The man said with a smile, speaking very warmly.

"No, I don't like tea." Liu Luoyi said coldly. She raised her eyes to look at the man, who was handsome but darker.

Generally speaking, she can't match her, Liu Luoyi thought secretly, so he relaxed, looked away, and watched the pattern in the house. The decoration was very atmospheric. The floor was covered with thick blankets and the walls were embedded. With many precious stones, it is extremely rich and noble.

Liu Luoyi's heart trembled. Judging from the decoration of the mansion, this person's family background is very solid. She closed her brows and looked at the man's eyes even more hostile.

But the man seemed to have never noticed it, and was still talking. He paused suddenly and smiled apologetically: "After talking for so long, I haven't asked the girl Fang's name. She's surnamed Baili, Mingyuan. My father was named Lord Hou because of his merit, so the people called me a little Lord Hou."

Prominent family background. Liu Luoyi's heart suddenly felt like an enemy, but it didn't show up on the face, and he still said indifferently: "Liu Luoyi."

"It was originally Miss Liu, and the princess came back from Yan Guo all the way back, and only brought Miss Liu. She must have a golden friendship with the princess, and that is also my friend of Baili Mingyuan. I will use tea instead of wine to respect the girl. ." Baili Mingyuan picked up the tea cup on the table and drank it all in one go.

Liu Luoyi's heart became more irritable, and she politely drank the tea in front of her, then stood up and said, "Master Xiaohou, I have something to do today, so I left first."

She nodded and strode out the door. Baili Mingyuan didn't catch up, so she could only bid farewell behind.

Wherever a bamboo horse appeared, I never told her. Liu Luoyi walked with her head down, feeling very uncomfortable. She kicked a stone on the side of the road, and suddenly remembered that Wei Chili said that she was not a princess.

Then she didn't know the so-called baby kiss, so she felt more comfortable.

Before she knew it, she had already walked to the quiet alley, and the maid beside her respectfully opened the door for her. She walked in slowly, found a piece of paper with the word "selling painting" written on it, and hung it casually. On the door.

She didn't expect anyone to come, she was just bored.

She hasn't painted for a long time, but she's not unfamiliar. A few strokes outline a woman's back. As the ink in the inkstone becomes less and less, the woman on the paper becomes more and more formed. The woman holds a sword and her hair is covered by wind. Rolled up, very sassy.

Liu Luoyi paused, suddenly curled her lips and smiled very helplessly. She was writing like the maid in front of her, but in the end she turned into Yu Chili.

I miss her very much if I don't see him for a day. Liu Luoyi placed the portrait in front of her, and looked at it closely with her chin. She suddenly had a clue and picked up a pen to paint again, adding a phoenix crown to Yu Chili.

At the end of the painting, she smiled more and more happily.

At this time, the door was knocked suddenly, and the maid went to open the door, but with an exclamation, she almost knelt on the ground, and was supported by the incoming person.

Liu Luoyi heard the movement and looked up and froze in place. She hurriedly covered the portrait on the table under a pile of rice paper, and then stood up to meet her and wanted to salute.

"You don't need to be polite. The king came back from the school and inspected the people's conditions regularly. Seeing that there are more stores here, he wanted to come in and have a look." The King of Northern Territory stood at the door, looked around the house, and walked slowly Came in.

He was tall, and the whole room seemed a lot smaller when he entered the door.

Liu Luoyi didn't dare to speak. She had always been in awe of the king. At this time, she only dared to lower her head on such occasions, for fear of being seen by him.

"You are the young child brought back by Li'er, don't be afraid." The Northern Territory King reached out and patted her shoulder, still very strong, Liu Luoyi stiffened and didn't bend over.

"The door doesn't need to be closed." The king of the Northern Territory told the maid, and then strode into the room, looking at the pen, ink, paper, inkstone and cinnabar powder on the table, a little surprised, "These are all yours?"

Liu Luoyi still bowed her head and nodded. Fortunately, the King of the Northern Territory had not closed the door, and the conversation of pedestrians outside was very clear, which made her feel less oppressed.

"I'm still a talented woman. How about painting a portrait for this king?" The king of the Northern Territory was very interested, and he sat down on the chair with a big horse, and signaled Liu Luoyi to start.

Liu Luoyi never expected that this king would be so close to the people. She bit her lip and didn't dare to refuse, so she could only bite the bullet and walk forward.

"This king hasn't had a portrait for a long time, so there are few good painters in the Northern Territory. So when I went to Yan State that year, I got a good painting that showed the king's mighty and heroic posture incisively and vividly. That painting is still hanging. In the king's study." The king of the Northern Territory looked very excited when he talked about this.

Liu Luoyi smiled unnaturally, picked up the pen, but didn't dare to let it go.

"Don't care, you are Li'er's friend, even if the painting is ugly, this king will not blame it." The King of the Northern Territory smiled heartily.

Liu Luoyi gritted his teeth before daring to do it. Soon, there was no other sound in the room except the sound of rustling painting. The tension gradually disappeared, and she became more engaged, carefully depicting the emperor's might in front of her.

For Liu Luoyi, painting is sacred. As long as she is immersed in it, she will no longer care about the surrounding environment, especially when the painting is gradually taking shape, the inner joy is beyond words.

Unknowingly, an hour and a half had passed before Liu Luoyi put down his pen in sweat and let out a long sigh of relief.

Looking up, the King of the Northern Territory had fallen asleep on the chair, snoring for a while, but the maid was still brave, and called out to wake him up.

The Northern Territory King stood up, strode to the table, and took the painting Liu Luoyi handed over. The moment he saw the painting, his eyes burst into surprise. He looked up and down, admiring again and again.

"I don't know why, when I look at your paintings, this king is a little familiar, but you paint harder, okay, okay!" He held the painting, and he couldn't put it down.

"The painting is well done, this king has rewards, come," the king of the Northern Territory said loudly, and some of his entourage walked in from outside and handed over a purse full of gold ingots.

Seeing this, Liu Luoyi waved his hand in fright, but he couldn't match the majesty of the king of the Northern Territory, and lowered his head to take it.

"Good painting skills, good offspring!" The king of the Northern Territory looked at Liu Luoyi appreciatively, and the more he watched, the more he appreciated it. He patted the table boldly and said, "Do you want to stay in my Northern Territory?"

Liu Luoyi's eyes widened.

"There are few painters in this palace. It is very rare to have such a skill at a young age. If you want to stay in the Northern Territory, this king can give you an official position to take charge of this matter. How about?"

Liu Luoyi was shocked and speechless for a while, the King of the Northern Territory saw her like this, haha ​​smiled and waved his hand: "No hurry, you have to discuss with Li'er, if you agree, ask Li'er to report to the king. ."

"Do you have other paintings, show them to the king."

Liu Luoyi hurriedly shook his head when he heard the words, and whispered: "The people's daughter did not bring it."

The King of the Northern Territory glanced at it and saw the corner exposed under the rice paper. He stretched out his hand to take it. Liu Luoyi was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to block it.

It's a pity that the King of the Northern Territory can't move her faster, and in the next instant, the painting completely appeared in front of the King of the Northern Territory.

"This... looks very familiar..." The Northern Territory King touched his beard and looked at it carefully.

Liu Luoyi was so flustered that she didn't know what to do. She tightened her sleeves with her hands, almost making a hole. She kept praying in her heart, praying that she did not paint like it, and the king of the Northern Territory could not see that it was Yuchi. from.

"Isn't this Li'er? It's just that the back looks so alike, okay." The King of the Northern Territory said, and his expression turned into some doubts, "It's just that this is Yan Guo's wedding dress?"

Liu Luoyi didn't dare to reply, she kept twisting the floor tiles below with her toes, she didn't dare to lift her eyes.

The King of the Northern Territory glanced at Liu Luoyi again, then looked at the painting in his hand, and then slowly put it down, without saying a word.

"It's getting late, I won't bother you anymore. If you are interested in that matter, please tell Li'er." The king of the Northern Territory smiled kindly, and then strode out the door.

The entourage outside the door followed up and asked in a low voice: "Wang, does this work? You want to reward the princess' friends to ease the relationship with the princess, and you don't have to directly grant her official positions."

"No, this young man is really talented. For more than ten years, this king has never found a good painter like Yan Guo's female painter. Her paintings really shocked this king."

The King of the Northern Territory opened the painting and looked at it with a smile.

After a while, he said happily: "It's so energetic, Yushu is in the wind!"

The follower lowered his head and suffocated a smile, afraid to speak.

In the room, Liu Luoyi was greatly relieved, and hurriedly folded the picture on the table and put it in her sleeve, feeling very worried. She comforted herself, but it was just a picture, which would not make people think too much.

It was just that she had no mood to stay any longer, so she hurriedly locked the door and returned to the palace.

In the next few days, every day she went out, she would meet the little Hou Ye named Baili Mingyuan. He seemed to have an informant by her side, and sometimes even followed her around the city, chattering endlessly. Talk about your love and longing for the princess.

From time to time, she asked about the princess's current preferences, and then imagined the future of becoming a queen, her face of yearning always made Liu Luoyi fist itchy.

On this day, Liu Luoyi deliberately never went out, but was still entangled by someone sent by Master Xiaohou. She insisted on inviting her to participate in a martial arts banquet. She didn't want to go, but she couldn't bear the persuasion of the people. After all, it was Master Hou. It’s not easy to rush away, and don’t want to disturb other people in the palace.

In desperation, she had to go and take a look.

Tong Yan Guo often compares poetry and painting in different styles. The Wuyan Banquet is just a martial arts contest, as the name suggests. Both men and women in a house hold various weapons, talking and laughing, while Liu Luoyi stands among them, looking very weak and out of place.

Baili Mingyuan stood beside her, and from time to time people came to him to speak respectfully, calling him a prince, and from time to time the name of the princess made him laugh.

Liu Luoyi was angry, but he didn't know how it happened.

"The princess hasn't returned to Egu, and the matter is undecided, how can you call it that way." Baili Mingyuan smiled, very satisfied in his heart, but pretended not to be so.

"Little Hou Ye has long been a candidate for the prince, and he will announce it to the world in two days. We just shout a few words in advance." Someone greeted him respectfully.

Looking at Baili Mingyuan, who was trembling with laughter, Liu Luoyi rolled his eyes and hurried away from him, trying to calm down.

"Miss Liu, don't leave. You think about it for me, what should I say when I ask the princess for a kiss?" Baili Mingyuan jumped over and approached Liu Luoyi for advice.

"No, she won't agree." Liu Luoyi said lightly.

"Why not? My marriage to the princess is agreed by everyone, and the princess disagrees when everybody is right." Baili Mingyuan laughed.

"I said no or no, Xiaohouye don't want to waste your efforts." Liu Luoyi looked at him coldly and turned to leave. It was too noisy here, and she stayed upset.

"Stop! Who are you? Our little Hou master is an imperial consort. Do you dare to speak wildly in this mouth?" A man emerged from nowhere, grabbed Liu Luoyi, and dragged her, almost staggering. fall.

He was full of tendons and looked very fierce.

"Let go." Liu Luoyi frowned, trying to get rid of the man, but he couldn't resist his strength.

"Stop! What are you doing!" Baili Mingyuan just wanted to come forward to persuade, but was called protection by the people on the side, dragged to the back, surrounded by a group of people, it was difficult to stand out.

"I said, let go." Liu Luoyi clenched her fist, and she met the man's gaze with no fear in her eyes.
