Her appearance was impeccable, and she had a layer of light makeup on her face, making her look even more gorgeous and beautiful.
This kind of beauty had a graceful and luxurious feeling, giving people the feeling that they could only look at it but could not reach it.
“Lord Xu, please sit.” The Ninth Princess stretched out her jade-like hand and pointed at the spot beside her.
Thank you, Ninth Princess.” Xu Bai said and sat beside the Ninth Princess.
As soon as she sat down, she smelled a fragrance that was like the fragrance of orchids.
“I once had a friend called Liu Xu.”Xu Bai smiled and said,” She has sandalwood on her. It’s formed by placing sandalwood in the room for a long time. It has been marinated. The fragrance on the Ninth Princess seems to have the same effect.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the scene fell silent. The maidservants raised their heads in unison, their faces filled with disbelief.
This was…Teasing the Ninth Princess?
They could not believe their ears.
A long time ago, a scholar saw the portrait of the Ninth Princess and wrote a poem. It fell into the hands of the Ninth Princess. Soon after, the scholar disappeared.
What the Ninth Princess hated the most was to tease her with her beauty. Even if it was a compliment, she would be disgusted.
Qing Mei quickly stood up and said angrily, “Lecher, no matter who you are, how can you say such words in front of the ninth princess?”
Qing Xue quickly pulled her sister and scolded her in a low voice.
She was very familiar with Xu Bai’s style. This kind of playful behavior was deliberately done.
As for why, he wasn’t sure.
The ninth princess was stunned for a moment, but she quickly returned to her senses. She covered her mouth with her hand and laughed softly,””Lord Xu, why do you have to pretend to be a lecher to make me hate you? How much do you dislike being with me that you deliberately put on this appearance?”
Xu Bai curled his lips in boredom and said,””You princes and princesses, your brains are really spinning fast.”
Although he didn’t say it directly, the meaning was obvious. The ninth princess had guessed his thoughts.
“I invited Lord Xu here today to make friends with him. “The Ninth Princess raised her wine cup and said,”Lord Xu, would you do me the honor?’”‘
Xu Bai picked up his wine glass and clinked it with the Ninth Princess’s. He said,””lt’s fine to be friends. It’s just that I don’t know if this friend… What are the benefits?”
The ninth princess raised her fair neck and drank the wine in the glass. Then, she took out a box and handed it to Xu Bai.
Xu Bai took it and opened it. He found a lot of banknotes inside. Not only that, but there was also a book beside the banknotes.
There were many banknotes. Xu Bai only glanced at them briefly before putting them away. The most important thing was the book.
The True Understanding of Traps.
It was just four simple words, but there was a golden progress bar at the top, which was very useful to Xu Bai.
“I know that Lord Xu has a puppet with him, but its grade seems to be a little low. This book is of the first grade.”The ninth princess slowly said,” I spent a lot of effort to get it. Now, can I take it as a gift to make friends?”” Xu Bai silently put it away and said simply, ‘”‘Tell me.”
“I’ve met the second young master of the Kong family. He explained his intentions.”The ninth princess rested her chin on her hand, and the sleeve on her arm fell down, revealing her white color.””l’ve already accepted my subordinates on account of Lord Xu. In that case, Lord Xu only needs to promise me one thing.”
“What’s the matter?” Xu Bai raised his eyebrows.”
The Ninth Princess looked at Xu Bai and said slowly,””lt’s very simple. If I fight with the others, Lord Xu just doesn’t help anyone.”
“Is that all?”
“Yes.” The Ninth Princess stretched her back and said, ” Of course, if Lord Xu is willing to help, I am the only one who can use the reward to exchange for his help. Even if others receive the reward, Lord Xu should not help them.”
Xu Bai fell into deep thought. In the end, he nodded and agreed temporarily.
He finally understood that the first half of his sentence was nonsense, and only the second half was true. If anything really happened, only the ninth princess could take it out and ask him for help.
However, he thought about it and agreed. He didn’t like the other two princes.
There was no need to say anything more about the Seventh Prince. He still had to slowly train him. The Sixth Prince actually wanted to take him under his wing. He could not bear it.
Of course, agreeing to it was one thing. Whether or not he would do it would depend on whether the reward was worth it.
“Then, Lord Xu, please have your meal.” The ninth princess finally relaxed.
Xu Bai shook his head.
“Is the food not to your liking? I’ll get the imperial kitchen to prepare it again.” the Ninth Princess said.
Xu Bai narrowed his eyes slightly and revealed an interested look. “The food smells good, but I really want to know one thing now.”
“What is it?” The ninth princess was puzzled.
Xu Bai said directly,” You guys are fighting. What are you fighting for? His
Majesty’s body is still very strong…”
The meaning was obvious. The people in the royal family were fighting for the throne, but the current Emperor could be said to be young and strong.. Wasn’t it a little too early to start fighting now?
