Lianxiang saw that Mama Chen's face was wrong, and hurriedly said: "Mama, the slave maid has been waiting outside the Queen Mother's bedroom, and the slave maid really doesn't know what happened inside." Slave, don't betray the slave, in front of the big girl, you don't show anything. Otherwise, the next time the big girl doesn't bring the slave, you won't know anything, and the slave won't be able to protect the big girl. ”

I was about to cry in a hurry, and Mama Chen glanced at Lianxiang: "I know, but next time there is such a thing, you can't hide it from me." Otherwise, you are good-looking, this time I will forget it first, don't worry about you, you hurry up to the house and wait for the eldest girl. "Leaving Mama Chen alone to meditate, what does the Queen Mother mean, Qi Yuxian usually enters the palace and comes back soon, today is half an hour later than before.

couldn't help but make Mama Chen anxious, listening to Lianxiang's words, I don't know why, Mama Chen had a bad premonition in her heart. But what the specific thing is, Mama Chen can't say clearly. In the past eight years by Qi Yuxian's side, Mama Chen felt even more sorry for Qi Yuxian, but fortunately she met Qi Yuxian's master, otherwise Qi Yuxian died in the village because of smallpox eight years ago, and no one would know that the Dingguo Mansion ignored Qi Yuxian.

As soon as the third prince arrived at Concubine Xiao's bedroom, Concubine Xiao waved her hand to let the palace people leave. "I've seen my mother, my mother is a thousand years old." The third prince respectfully saluted Concubine Xiao, "Excuse me." Concubine Xiao looked at the third prince and sat down, "I heard that today you and the fourth prince went to the queen mother's bedroom to see Miss Qi." The third prince raised his head: "The news of the concubine is really well-informed." ”

"Ming'er, what do you mean by that?" Concubine Xiao put away the smile on her face, and the third prince said calmly: "Mother." Erchen is literally. "You!" Concubine Xiao didn't know what to say about the third prince, and suppressed the discomfort in her heart. "What, do you think the concubine has done too much?" "Mother. Erchen didn't mean this, what the mother did was for the good of the son, and the son thanked the mother. ”

Listening to what the third prince said, Concubine Xiao nodded: "Since you all know that your mother is good for you, then you should cooperate more with your mother." What do you think of seeing Miss Qi in the Queen Mother's bedroom today? "Concubine Xiao is not stupid, the Queen Mother has found the third prince and the fourth prince, that is because only the third prince and the fourth prince have not yet married in the palace, and the other eldest princes and second princes have already married. Moved to the mansion to live.

The third prince smiled faintly and said, "Mother, it's too early to say this. Concubine Xiao squinted at the three princes, as if she didn't quite understand the meaning of the three princes' words. It's just that the third prince didn't want to say anything more, Concubine Xiao could only watch the back of the third prince leaving, and the grandmother beside her said softly: "Niangniang, do you want the slave maid to send someone to inquire again." "Let's see if it's the same as what the third prince said.

"No need, this palace has a plan in mind, you go down first!" Mama quickly left Concubine Xiao's bedroom, leaving Concubine Xiao to think alone. Of course, Concubine Xiao cares about the three princes. The queen mother also cared about the four princes, and the four princes had not yet returned to the palace, so they were intercepted by the eunuchs beside the queen mother and went to the queen's bedroom halfway. The queen was sitting and waiting for the four princes, and the four princes walked into the hall with a smile.

"The sons see the queen mother. The queen mother is a thousand years old and a thousand years old! Looking at the smile on the face of the fourth prince, the queen couldn't stand up. Hurry up! The fourth prince quickly walked to the queen's side and gently kneaded the queen's shoulders. He asked with concern, "Queen Mother, how are you doing today?" Are you better? "The queen gave birth to the eldest prince and the fourth prince, and her health is not as good as before.

The fourth prince is very concerned about the queen's body. The queen patted the back of the fourth prince's hand: "You know that you care about the queen mother, the queen mother is much better, come, sit down." The Queen Mother has something to ask you. "In fact, without too many words from the queen, almost the four princes can guess. But the fourth prince nodded seriously: "Hmm! Queen Mother, if you have anything to say, you ask. "You and the third prince went to the queen mother's bedroom, didn't you?"

Believing that this is not a secret in the palace, "Hmm! The queen mother, the son did go to the imperial grandmother's bedroom with the three emperor brothers. "Did you see Miss Qi?" The queen then asked, and the fourth prince nodded, without squeaking. The queen subconsciously asked: "Then what do you think of Miss Qi, is she loved by your imperial grandmother as rumored?" "The Queen Mother has always protected Qi Yuxian very well.

No one in the palace dared to disturb Qi Yuxian, otherwise it would be against the Queen Mother's will. The saint will not spare her, the queen is the mother of a country, but it is not easy to be pressed by the queen mother. The fourth prince pondered for a while before he said slowly: "Queen Mother, according to Erchen, the imperial grandmother really loves Miss Qi very much. But ......" "But what? The queen looked at the four princes curiously, and the four princes deliberately hung the queen's appetite.

"It's nothing, Queen Mother, should you think about letting your son marry Miss Qi?" The fourth prince tested the queen's mother, and the queen sighed softly: "If you can marry Miss Qi, it will naturally be a good thing." As soon as the queen's words came out, the faces of the four princes suddenly changed: "Queen Mother, don't, the sons don't want to get married that early." Queen Mother, but you promised your sons before that you would not force your sons to get married. Mother, how do you talk and don't talk, mother. Coquettishly pestered the queen mother, and the queen mother doted on the nose of the four princes.

"You! How old is you, and you are still coquettish with your mother, you should know that your eldest brother has recently made your father angry. If you can marry Miss Qi, it will be a good thing for your eldest brother. You are not young, you should understand the meaning of the queen mother's words. There is only one throne in the eastern country, but your second and third emperor brothers are eyeing each other, you can't be careless, remember the words of the queen mother, you and the eldest brother are brothers of the same mother, you have to help each other, so that the queen mother can rest assured. ”

The four princes coaxed the queen to say some nice things before letting the topic be diverted. Jade hurriedly shouted at the door: "Girl, girl." Lian Xiang quickly opened the door at Qi Yuxian's signal and reprimanded, "Why are you so flustered? Cuiyu replied without hesitation: "Sister Lianxiang, someone came to the hall just now, saying that there was someone making trouble in the store, and the shopkeeper asked the girl to hurry over." ”

Someone made trouble in the shop, and Qi Yuxian put down the book in her hand. hurriedly walked in front of Cuiyu: "You said that there was someone making trouble in the shop?" "Hmm! The shopkeeper sent someone to ask the girl to come over, and asked the girl to forgive me. The slave did not mean to disturb the girl's rest. Jade lowered her head and explained, "Alright. I see, I don't blame you. Saying that, Qi Yuxian told Lianxiang to hurry up and prepare her clothes, and Qi Yuxian wanted to go out to the store to see who was making trouble in the store.

Even the shopkeeper can't resist it, it doesn't seem to be an ordinary thing. Lian Xiang did not hesitate, hurriedly changed Qi Yuxian's clothes, and left the courtyard together. When Mama Chen was leaving, she wanted to go with Qi Yuxian. "Mama, I can handle it. You have a good rest in the yard, and we will be back in a moment. Lotus incense, jade, let's go! Before Mama Chen could say anything, she saw Qi Yuxian's figure disappear into the courtyard

Hurriedly got into the carriage and came to the lively market, the carriage slowly stopped, and Lianxiang and Cuiyu helped Qi Yuxian get out of the carriage. Raising his head was Qi Yuxian's newly opened shop, Pù Dexin Beauty and Health Shop, and the shopkeeper saw Qi Yuxian coming, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet Qi Yuxian. Qi Yuxian was wearing a pale green long skirt with pale blue peonies embroidered on the cuffs. The silver thread outlines a few auspicious clouds, and the hem is densely packed with a row of blue sea clouds.

On the chest is a wide piece of pale yellow brocade wrapped in the chest, the body gently turns the long skirt and spreads out, and the gestures are graceful like the wind blowing willows. The wind bun shows the sideburns, the eyebrows and eyes are lightly swept with spring, and the skin is as fine as warm jade, soft and greasy. The cherry mouth is red and delicate. The two strands of hair on the cheeks gently blow in the wind, adding a bit of seductive style, and the flexible eyes turn wisely. A little naughty, a little naughty, a light green dress, a waist not full of hand, so flawless, so beautiful that it does not eat the fireworks of the world.

Every time the shopkeeper saw Qi Yuxian, he was amazed. But this time there was something more important, and he quickly said: "Girl, even if they are unreasonable, please forgive me." I heard that they have a noble status, and the villain doesn't dare to offend! ”

Listening to the shopkeeper's words, Qi Yuxian glanced around and did not speak. "You're the owner of this shop?" The girl's water-red undershirt skirt, embroidered with a slightly heavier red peony, covered with a light orange transparent light gauze coat, is still embroidered with gold filament threads with elegant flowers, double gold thread shoes, the toe is shaking an east pearl, extremely precious, wearing a Ruyi head inlaid with carved double claw pattern jade ornaments on the back of the head, the side is a gold phoenix hairpin with a tired silk inlaid treasure bead and a bat pattern inlaid with glass beads trembling branches and gold steps, with suspicion in his eyes.

Looking at Qi Yuxian, Qi Yuxian looked at the girl's clothes quietly, she was indeed not an ordinary girl from a small family. It should come from a high-ranking family, no wonder the shopkeeper can't parry. I wanted to invite Qi Yuxian to come over, and said with a chuckle: "Girl, the owner of this shop is indeed me, I don't know where our shop pù dissatisfies the girl." "Those who do business should be kind and wealthy, and don't be careful.

"Sister, she is really ashamed to say that she is the owner of this shop." Another girl is wrapped in a pale pink dress, draped in a white gauze dress, revealing a graceful neck and clearly visible collarbones, the pleats of the skirt are like snow and moonlight, flowing lightly on the ground, more than three feet long, making the gait more graceful and soft, three thousand green silk is tied up with a hairband, the head is inserted with a butterfly hairpin, a wisp of green silk hangs on the chest, thin powder, only add color, the faint red feeling on the cheeks creates a kind of pure skin like petals as delicate and lovely, the whole person is like a butterfly flying with the wind, and like a clear and transparent ice and snow.

Qi Yuxian looked at the girl and looked good, why did she say something so ugly for Qi Yuxian, especially at the end, she glanced at Qi Yuxian mockingly. "So what do the two girls want to believe that I am the owner of this shop?" If you want to see what these two girls want, Qi Yuxian might as well make it clear to them. The girl in red stared at Qi Yuxian with some hesitation: "Are you really the owner of this shop?" ”

"Of course, in public, the shopkeeper is still here, and there can be mistakes. I just don't know what this girl needs? Qi Yuxian looked at the girl in red calmly, and the girl in pink beside her was a little hesitant: "Sister, don't lie to you." Qi Yuxian didn't squeak, and people with a discerning eye could see that the girl in red was working. Presumably, the two sisters have something important, and Qi Yuxian is fine today anyway.

"Humph! Since you are the boss, then you are welcome, this is the beauty and health pill I bought in your store before, why did I go back and eat it for no use? Questioning Qi Yuxian confidently, Qi Yuxian casually glanced at the shopkeeper behind her, and the shopkeeper shook his head at Qi Yuxian. Qi Yuxian knew it in her heart, "I don't know if the girl brought the beauty and health pills?" ”

"Why, what do you mean by that? You think I'm going to lie to you? The girl in pink quickly glared at Qi Yuxian, if her eyes could kill. Qi Yuxian was afraid that she would have died hundreds of times. "Girl, you misunderstood. I'm going to have to look at the balls to know what's wrong, so I can fix the problem, right? What Qi Yuxian said was also reasonable, but the girl in red snorted lightly: "This girl didn't bring it!" ”

didn't bring it, Qi Yuxian pulled the corners of her lips: "Since you didn't bring it, let's wait until when the girl brings it, and we'll talk about it!" "The attitude is very tough, and I originally thought that Qi Yuxian would be easier to speak. How could I have thought that Qi Yuxian had a straight face now. A look of rejection from thousands of miles away. As soon as the girl in red didn't get angry, the girl in pink whispered in the ear of the girl in red: "Sister, or we'll come again next time, and let them go first this time, okay?" Some of them looked at the girl in red.

"No! There must be an explanation today, or I won't leave. The girl in red walked to Qi Yuxian's side angrily, "You are the boss, you are responsible." I spent two thousand taels of silver to buy beauty and health pills, but it was useless, and my two thousand taels of silver ticket was not wasted. You have to pay me 20,000 taels, or else. I will make a fuss to everyone in the capital, and see how you still do business in the capital. ”

The corner of the girl in red hooked up a light smile, waiting for Qi Yuxian. The shopkeeper wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead. Just now, the girl in red said that she would compensate 20,000 taels of silver tickets, where did the shopkeeper dare to make his own decisions. It's not a few hundred taels either. 20,000 taels, even the shop pù did not have so many silver tickets to compensate the girl in red. I can only invite Qi Yuxian over. "Two girls, I respect you as guests, but you are good, come to my shop and talk nonsense. I believe that you bought beauty and health pills in our store, but now that you are asked to take them out, you really can't take them out, how can you let me believe your words, and the beauty and health pills in our store need two thousand taels of silver tickets from the flower girl, why don't I know? Shopkeeper, when did our store have such valuable beauty and health pills? ”

Qi Yuxian questioned the shopkeeper on the side, and the shopkeeper quickly replied: "The villain swears, the beauty and health pills in our store are definitely not that expensive, but the two girls don't believe in the villain." The shopkeeper's saliva to the girl in red and the girl in pink was dry, but they didn't believe the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper had no choice. For this reason, the store also lost a lot of customers, and there were many onlookers outside the store to see what was going on in the shop. Now that Qi Yuxian is here, then we must figure out this matter, otherwise how will the store continue to operate.

"Two girls, I think you have also heard clearly, we don't have two thousand taels of beauty and health pills in our store, I'm afraid you are mistaken!" As soon as Qi Yuxian's words were finished, the girl in pink slapped the table: "Your shop is too black-hearted, a few small balls cost two thousand taels of silver, if it is useful to eat, we don't care about you." It's just useless, and you still want to continue to cheat the people out of their money, and you're really blinded by lard. If you don't lose money today, my sister and I won't leave! ”

There was a lazy state of not leaving, and the girl in red echoed: "Yes, if we don't lose money today, we won't leave." "There is no need to do the business of the shop, Lianxiang and Cuiyu are in a hurry, these two girls are obviously making trouble, the balls in the shop pù are indeed not that expensive, and they need two thousand taels of silver tickets." Two girls, I repeat, customers who have bought pù beauty and health pills in our store know that there are absolutely no two thousand taels. If you don't believe me, I can't help it. But you must say that you bought it in our store, and you must show evidence, at least show me the balls, so that I can judge. ”

"Humph! You know how to say nice things, and you know how to give them to you when we eat them! The woman in red glared at Qi Yuxian angrily, and she didn't know how many times she had cursed Qi Yuxian in her heart. Qi Yuxian had a calm face: "Then since the two girls can't come up with evidence, then I'm sorry." Two girls, please come back! As he spoke, he was about to stretch out his hand to invite the girl in red and the girl in pink to leave, and the girl in pink said without hesitation: "Do you know who my sister is?" Qi Yuxian really didn't know, and she didn't want to know.

came to the store to make trouble unreasonably, and wanted to extort money, Qi Yuxian never wanted to see the two sisters again. The red girl seemed to acquiesce in the words of the girl in pink, and the girl in pink quickly said: "My sister is the eldest daughter of the Duke of Liang, how can she deceive people?" Obviously, I bought the beauty and health pills in your store, and you still don't admit it. Should you all lose money when you come to judge? ”

The girl in pink said the identity of the girl in red, it was Liang Mingzhu, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Liang's mansion, Qi Yuxian squinted at the girl in red, it turned out to be an acquaintance. The Chen family once took Qi Yuxian to the Liang Guogong Mansion to enjoy the plums, and Qi Yuxian would not forget jì about this matter, it was one of the few times in Qi Yuxian's memory to get along with the Chen family, how could she forget jì. Liang Mingzhu was not good at Qi Yuxian at that time, but the girl in pink next to Liang Mingzhu didn't know who it was, and vaguely remembered that there was a concubine in Liang Guogong's mansion, could it be that the girl in pink was a concubine?

Qi Yuxian didn't dare to guess lightly, and the onlookers pointed at Qi Yuxian, and the girl in pink suddenly smiled proudly. Now look at how Qi Yuxian refutes, "Don't be impatient, listen to me." First of all, our beauty and health store does not have such expensive balls, and customers who have bought them should know. How could it cost two thousand taels of silver, just now Miss Liang said that she spent two thousand taels of silver tickets, it was simply a fantasy. (To be continued.) )
