Chapter Fifty-Six: The Drug Extortionist
Yueqi hesitated a little, and was about to take off her mask, but Ziyan's voice interrupted her movements. "Why is the medicine man so interested, and you want to get involved with my people?" Although Ziyan's words were full of banter, they had a frightening feeling.
Changshen immediately bowed his head and knelt down to salute and said, "Go up...... The prince laughed! The old man just wanted to help this girl prepare a prescription for her body. ”
Ziyan walked in from outside the courtyard, walked straight to Yueqi's side, touched her head dotingly, took her hand hanging in the air, pulled her up and walked to the pavilion. In this process, he didn't answer the words of the long staff, so he was allowed to kneel like this.
Yueqi saw that Changshen was old, and it was not good to kneel like this, so he gave Ziyan a look. Ziyan held her down and let her sit on the stool, and then found a place to sit down and said, "She just started to practice spells, and she didn't know the essentials, and the process was slower." It would be nice if you gave her more elixirs to increase her spiritual power and help her cultivation. If I need anything else, I'll have someone pick it up. ”
Chang Shen breathed a sigh of relief and replied: "That's nature, that's nature." With that, he lifted his sleeve and wiped his sweat.
Ziyan glanced at the wine glass beside him, and suddenly his mind turned to his heart, and he said playfully: "Is this wine delicious?"
Changshen hurriedly nodded like pounding garlic and said, "That's natural, I haven't drunk such a fresh and refreshing fruit wine before."
Ziyan then turned his head to look at Yueqi and said, "Didn't you say that there was still a shortage of members last time, since the ginseng medicine practitioner appreciated it so much, then let him also join that membership."
Changshen looked at it puzzled, not knowing what it meant. When Yueqi heard this, his eyes lit up in an instant, Ziyan was really a reliable one! Yueqi hurriedly answered: "That's right, there are still two seats."
Ziyan smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then tomorrow you can send the membership money to the account of that Yueshaofang."
"Membership money?" Changshen wiped the fine sweat on his forehead and asked puzzledly.
Ziyan nodded and said, "Not much, 20,000 gold is enough." I also made friends with Mangya. ”
Changjin almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, and the 20,000 gold seemed to rip off the flesh of his heart. Twenty thousand gold! Yueqi was even more shocked, she was black in business, but she didn't think that Ziyan was even blacker, but she liked it!
Chang Shen looked at Yueqi with a distressed gaze, but Yueqi grinned at him and said to him: "That is the case, then Yueqi will write it down, and tomorrow I will ask the person who is tired of medicine to hand over the inscription of the private room to the workshop."
The corners of Changshen's mouth twitched, and he almost fainted. Really! The person who can make Ziyan Shizi so concerned is not a good stubble! Changshen sighed and then gritted his teeth and responded: "The prince has all handed over, so this member naturally wants to get it, and naturally wants it!"
Seeing Chang Ginseng's heartache in such a heart-wrenching appearance, everyone's hearts were happy. Changshen was afraid that he would break the fortune if he continued to chat, so he got up and made an excuse to slip away.
Ziyan blinked proudly at the moon. Yueqi ignored him. secretly took one of the ginger-pickled black plums he made in the afternoon and secretly stuffed it into the palm of his hand. These small actions of the two of them are seen in the eyes of everyone.
Finally, they all rested, Yueqi and Iris slept together, tossing and turning, counting the days, the jewelry she set will arrive tomorrow, and it seems that she has to go back. was thinking about it, but saw Aman suddenly wake up from his sleep, got up and leaned next to her, biting her sleeve and signaling to follow it.
Yueqi hurriedly put on a gauze robe, got up quietly, and followed Aman out of the door. saw Ziyan standing outside the courtyard with his back to her. Only then did Yueqi understand that it was Ziyan who called her out. When Ziyan saw her come out, he stepped forward, and without waiting for Yueqi to ask more, he grabbed her waist and jumped up, and flew to the roof with Yueqi.
Before Yueqi could scream, he had already settled it and sat on the roof, leaving only Aman whimpering quietly in place. Ziyan surrounded Yueqi and gathered her gauze for fear that she would catch a cold. Yueqi smiled and looked at the gentle movements in Ziyan's hand and asked, "Why don't you sleep so late."
Ziyan looked at the moon, paused and said, "I can't sleep, I want to see you."
Yueqi tilted his head, leaned into his arms and said, "It's just right, I have to go back tomorrow."
Ziyan didn't talk, smelling the fragrance of the tips of the moon's hair. Yueqi saw that he was silent and said: "The pearl hairpin I ordered will be delivered tomorrow, and there are still a few days before the Oiran competition, I don't even have my clothes ready, so I can't play anymore."
Ziyan touched her head and said gently, "Okay, if you want to go back, I'll send you back."
Yueqi smiled, and leaned closer to him affectionately. Ziyan asked with some concern: "Yueqi, the Oiran Competition may not be as simple as you think."
Yueqi interrupted him and said, "I know, since I know that it was Princess Chuxian who came that day, I know that there are other hidden secrets."
Ziyan thought about it and didn't want to continue to hide it, so he simply told Yueqi the news that the king was going to choose a few people to enrich the harem. Yueqi didn't speak when she heard this, Ziyan thought she was angry and hurriedly explained, "At first, I didn't know you wanted to participate. Now if you don't want to, don't go. ”
Yueqi raised her head, smiled gently, took the initiative to raise her neck, pecked at Ziyan's chin and said, "That's not good, there is a reward of ten thousand gold, and you can also play as a concubine."
Ziyan knew that she was joking, raised his hand and scratched her nose and said dotingly: "Do you really think that the king's concubine is better than the princess?"
Yueqi took his arm and didn't speak, his eyes full of smiles. Ziyan said: "If you want to go, you can go, everything has me."
The simple four words made Yueqi's heart extremely steady. Ziyan continued: "You still use the folding wing handle, put the move on the folding wing, and it can also be used as soft armor." It looks more like dancing than a sword dance. ”
Yueqi nodded, she knew that whatever he commanded, there must be his meaning. Yueqi paused and said to Ziyan: "Iris and the king, there may be some connection. ”
"Oh?" Ziyan looked at Yueqi puzzled. Only then did Yueqi tell Ziyan the story that Iris told her.
After a long time, Ziyan's eyes hesitated a little and asked, "Are you sure that person is the king?" ”
Yueqi nodded and said, "Well, she came to the workshop with the breath she was looking for, and before she saw the king's face that day, she confirmed outside the tent that it was the breath she was looking for." ”
Ziyan looked at Yueqi thoughtfully and asked, "Then what do you think?" ”
Yueqi thought about it and said: "Since the king takes this opportunity to enrich the harem, it is better to think of sending iris there, I think even if it is just for her to watch it every day, it can be regarded as a thought." ”
Ziyan nodded and said, "It's not difficult, but now, I'm afraid you're in the top five." It's a bit tricky to be looked down upon by him. ”
Yueqi Wan'er smiled and leaned on Ziyan and said, "If you are really afraid of the king and give me away, then I will go to the palace with Iris as a companion." Ziyan chuckled. Secretly whispered in Yueqi's ear, and the two looked at each other and smiled. He continued to sit quietly on the roof draped in the moonlight. It seems to be the closest time they have relied on since they met.
