Chapter 177: Bad Money
Chaohua wanted to cry bitterly, but she remembered that the prince was by her side.
She could hold back.
For so many years, I have endured it like this.
She took the initiative to smile at Wei Qiang: "The name is really interesting, I don't know who came up with such a name." β
asked as if nothing happened, but the hand hidden in the sleeve kept shaking.
The familiar taste of pickled radish skins, the name of the liquor store hidden in the depths of memory - is Xiuyue still alive?
Asaka can only think of this possibility.
If there is only this can of pickled radish skin, it can be said to be a coincidence, but with the name of the wine shop, how can there be such a coincidence?
She didn't want it to be a coincidence, either.
She hopes that Xiuyue's sister is still alive.
Among the four of them, Xiuyue is the youngest and has a simple temperament, and they all treat Xiuyue as their own sister.
"It's Miss Luo, the beloved daughter of Governor Luo." Wei Qiang gave the answer, and seeing Chaohua's blank face, he smiled slightly, "You have been in the palace all the time, haven't you heard of Miss Luo?" β
He reluctantly agreed to Miss Luo today to let her see Yu Niang, and when he said that, it just happened to let Yu Niang have an understanding of the woman who was a headache.
Chaohua lowered his eyes to hide his disappointment, and shook his head slightly: "I haven't heard of it." β
"She is the most beloved daughter of Jin Linwei's commander Luo Dadudu, and she acts ...... Somewhat out of line. β
"Out of line?" Somehow, Asaka thought of the county lord.
The county lord likes to cook, likes to ask the cook for cooking skills, and at the beginning, some people talked about the county lord behind his back.
"Yes, she grabs what she likes when she finds it, and she likes to raise noodles."
"Noodle head?" Asaka's eyes widened.
Their county lord is not so out of line!
"Did she steal a liquor store as well?" Chaohua suppressed her nervousness and asked.
Wei Qiang smiled: "It's not, I heard that she came down at a high price." Because of a good cook, the wine shop business is very good. β
That's a real book of profits!
Thinking of the price, Wei Qiang couldn't laugh.
He also owes five thousand six hundred and twenty taels of silver to a wine shop.
And when Chaohua mentioned the good cook in Wei Qiang, her thoughts were already churning.
There is a good cook in a wine shop, will it be Xiuyue?
She couldn't help but think about it, but she couldn't believe it.
What if not?
Chaohua subconsciously rubbed the gold-inlaid seven-treasure bracelet on her wrist.
For so many years, she has been guarding this bracelet and guarding a slim hope.
Sometimes, she was so desperate that she thought about ending this cheap life and going to the county lord.
But she was afraid that she would fail the county lord's trust.
The county lord has never lied, and the county lord said that this bracelet can be exchanged, and it must be exchanged.
Wei Qiang noticed Chaohua's movements and grabbed her hand.
Chaohua was startled, almost revealing something strange.
"Your Highness?"
The man's slender fingers rested on the gold bracelet, causing Chaohua's heart to skip a beat.
On that day, the prince began to pay attention to this bracelet......
Chaohua was frightened and frightened, and her fingertips became colder and colder.
"Yu Niang, Miss Luo also took a fancy to your bracelet."
"Your Highnessβ" Asaka's face turned pale.
Wei Qiang clenched her hand and comforted: "Don't worry, I won't let Miss Luo snatch your bracelet." β
Chaohua smiled reluctantly: "The concubine is curious about how Miss Luo knows about this bracelet if she hasn't seen me again." β
Wei Qiang sighed: "She fell in love with Wei Wen's bracelet." β
"The braceletβ"
"Naturally, it's in the hands of Miss Luo."
Chaohua showed a stunned expression, but there was some happiness in his heart.
The county lord's things would rather be cheaper than irrelevant people, and he didn't want to give them to those jackals in Pingnan Palace.
It's a pity that she didn't have a chance to meet this out-of-character Luo girl, let alone confirm whether the chef of a wine shop was Xiuyue.
This East Palace, which is envied by countless people, is just a cage for her.
But she couldn't escape, and she couldn't escape.
The identity of the maidservant of the lord of Qingyang County made her only dependent on the prince to survive in order to protect this bracelet.
"In the past two days, Miss Luo will come to the East Palace as a guest, and you will meet you when the time comes."
When Chaohua heard this, she was really taken aback: "Your Highness? β
Wei Qiang had a headache.
He can't admit it in front of Yu Niang, he can't do anything about a girl.
"Don't think too much, just meet."
"Hmm." Bow your head to the flowers, and don't ask more questions.
The years are always kind to beauties, and although the morning flowers are no longer young, their beauty has not diminished.
Wei Qiang watched her trim her neck, his heart fluttered, and he took her hand and walked towards the bed.
As the night deepened, Wei Qiang tidied up his clothes and left here.
"Waiter, do you want to take a bath?"
The palace maid who served the flowers knew her habits, so she came to ask for instructions.
Chaohua nodded, as if she didn't have the strength to speak, and was helped by two palace maids to go to the bath.
The whole body was submerged in the hot wooden barrel, and Chaohua sent the two palace maids out.
When there was no one else in the room, she plunged headlong into the water, and it took a while for her head to emerge and gasp for air.
If there's one time when you want to end this cheap life the most, it's now.
Every time, she longs to wash this skin inside and out.
Stepping out of the barrel, Chaohua changed into a snow-white shirt and walked into the inner room.
Two handmaidens wiped her hair with handkerchiefs.
Asaka has a good head of hair, thick and black, like fine silk.
A palace maid twisted her hair for her and said with emotion: "The hair of the waiter is really good." β
If you don't say it later, it's no wonder that you can be favored by the prince.
Asaka doesn't have to think about it to know, so it's even more disgusting.
"Alright, you guys stand down."
"Waiter, your hair hasn't dried yet."
Chaohua disagreed: "It's good if you don't drip water, it's such a hot day, it will dry up soon." β
When the two palace maids saw her say this, they all bowed and retreated.
The inner room is very quiet.
After sitting for a moment at the flowers, he pulled a secret compartment from the head of the bed and took out a small porcelain bottle.
She poured out a pill and swallowed it, thought about it and poured out another pill.
Outside the door, a pair of eyes that took in all this suddenly widened, revealing excitement.
Early the next morning, next to a rockery, a palace maid handed over a pill to another palace maid.
The palace maid who got the pill hurriedly went to report to the crown princess.
"After having a good time with His Highness last night, Yu Xuan's servant took such a pill?" The crown princess stared at a pill that the palace maid was holding with a handkerchief, and her tone was cold and disgusted.
"Back to the crown princess, I saw it with my own eyes by Cui Hong, who was waiting for the jade selection."
"Mama Gui, you take this pill to Imperial Doctor Wang to check it and see what it does."
"Yes."
The crown princess finally had a harvest because of the palace maid who was staring at the morning flowers, and she was in a good mood.
Wei Qiang's mood was much worse.
"What, there is still a thousand taels of cash available at your disposal?" Early in the morning, after listening to the report of his henchman eunuch Dou Ren, Wei Qiang only felt a thunderbolt on his head.
Dou Ren smiled dryly: "Back to Your Highness, there is a difference of one thousand and one hundred taels ......"
Wei Qiang was silent for a moment and said, "Pick a piece of the best jade pendant that does not violate the system, and send it to Miss Luo along with the silver ticket." β
"Yes." Dou Ren walked out of the palace in a low-key manner with a jade pendant and a silver ticket.
