However, before implenting it, he had to sell off all his businesses, like the large batch of down jackets and bedding he had on hand. It would be best to convert them to cash, which would be more convenient to carry with him!
...
After entering the palace, Liu Xi was invited into the Waterside Pavilion. Because he was no longer an eunuch, Cai Wei felt that being alone with him in a confined space was inconvenient. If one day his identity was exposed, their association could be used against them. Therefore, since he reverted to being a man, every ti Cai Wei t with him, she would choose to do so in relatively public places, having her servants dispersed to the side so they wouldn’t hear their conversation.
"Little Caiwei, you were looking for ?"
Liu Xi sat casually across from Cai Wei, crossing one leg over the other and shaking his foot incessantly.
It was the weather of December, very cold by the lake. Cai Wei was sitting on The Beauty Leans in the Waterside Pavilion, draped in a multicolored peacock fur, holding a hand warr with charcoal burning inside her hands.
"Hmm, there’s sothing I need to ask you!"
"No way!"
Liu Xi refused without rcy, saying, "I have to set off within three days. I’ve been delayed long enough already, and if I wait any longer, spring will co. Who will still buy my down jackets then? Besides, you’re not willing to compensate for the economic loss caused by helping out, and I’m not going to do such a losing business again even if you beat to death."
Cai Wei rolled her eyes towards the sky and said, "I’m not asking you to stay and help, but to pay attention to sothing when you go north. Look at how scared you are, crossing your legs like it’s a negotiation. Believe it or not, with just one word from , you won’t be able to go!"
"No, no, please don’t, Empress Dowager, this servant knows his mistake. Please, Empress Dowager, give your orders. No matter what it is, this servant will definitely do it!"
Liu Xi quickly put his crossed legs down and clasped his hands in front of Cai Wei, willing to do anything as long as Cai Wei would let him go.
In fact, Cai Wei wanted Liu Xi to help her investigate the whereabouts of Li Sheng after he returned to Qing County. Did he really go back to pay respects to his ancestors? Was he still in contact with that Yiyi? If so, he could stay in Qing County forever with his parents. If not, let it be.
Upon hearing that Juhua had found such a man, Liu Xi couldn’t help but frown and said, "Why do all your friends marry scumbags? First, the Miss from the Marquis of Jian’an’s family marries a perverted Mo Zili, then it’s Shen Juhua, who marries soone who is neither here nor there. Speaking of which, both these girls are quite good, but they are so unlucky to marry such unbearable n. Could it be that you jinxed them?"
Cai Wei gave him a cross look and said, "Xiang Yun is now the Empress Dowager of the Qing Luo Kingdom, cherished like a precious gem by Wanyan Jingchen, living quite happily. If I had such great power as to jinx a woman into becoming a mother of a country, that would indeed be a ritorious deed!"
Liu Xi chuckled and said, "Hopefully, you can keep it up this ti and jinx Shen Juhua into becoming an empress or sothing. Actually, that girl Shen Juhua is quite nice, simple and kind, she deserves to marry a good man!"
Cai Wei glanced at him and said, "Why not, if it’s found out that Li Sheng is using Juhua, you should marry Juhua. I think you two would be a perfect match; one with a mind full of business acun, the other as simple as a blank canvas, all about food. Your personalities completely complent each other!"
"Enough, don’t ss up the mandarin ducks!"
Liu Xi stood up, taking a step out, and said as he walked, "Shen Juhua, because I laughed at her na, Juhua, still looks at like a black-eyed chicken. If I were to marry her, it would be chaos every day, with no peace at all!"
