Chapter 63 The King and Miss Xue
Xue Qingyin felt embarrassed because Prince Xuan was so generous.
She said softly: "Actually, I borrowed His Highness's name a few days ago. Otherwise, my father would be angry and beat me if he pointed out."
"He hit you?" King Xuan's eyes moved slightly.
He extracted three words of emotion from this sentence.
Xue Qingyin said lazily: "Didn't you run away before you could hit me?"
Du Hongxue couldn't help laughing outside: "Well done!"
Xue Qingyin asked: "Where are we going to meet Liu Xiuyuan?"
King Xuan moved his lips: "Lingxi Pavilion."
"This name sounds familiar."
Du Hongxue interrupted outside: "Does it sound familiar? This is the Xue family's property. Miss Xue doesn't remember it?"
Xue Qingyin smiled: "So you are going to take care of our family's business."
Du Hongxue said: "The rich water should not flow to outsiders' fields."
Xue Qingyin paused.
I thought to myself, I just fooled my servants into saying "outsiders", why are you saying the same thing?
After asking where they were going, Xue Qingyin began to think about another question: "I came out in a hurry. Mu Li didn't take him with him, and he didn't take any of his servants with him. If others see it, I'm afraid they will make comments."
Du Hongxue answered again: "It doesn't matter if you don't have servants. Today we can be the girl's servants."
Hearing the sound, Xue Qingyin leaned against the car window and said with a smile: "Then I will be shameless." She was indeed not polite at all.
Du Hongxue and others used to be in the army, but they just liked such cheerful people.
He smiled again and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't take the curtain away."
Xue Qingyin: "Huh?"
King Xuan casually opened a short box at his feet.
Xue Qingyin thought that thing was for stepping on her feet.
As soon as the box was opened, the contents were immediately revealed.
It's just a curtain.
The jade-colored gauze hanging underneath is a common style.
But after Xue Qingyin leaned over and picked it up, she could only hear the jingling sound of jade.
Now take a closer look at the whole picture of Mu Li.
It turns out that in addition to the gauze, there are also pearls and jade strung with gold thread.
The pearl is round and radiant.
The jade is transparent and as white as cut fat.
It seems extravagant but not frivolous.
Xue Qingyin couldn't help but say goodbye!
"The people in His Royal Highness Prince Xuan's palace are really thoughtful." Xue Qingyin said as she grabbed Muli and put it on her head.
"Why are the people in the house so thoughtful?" Du Hongxue asked.
Xue Qingyin tilted her head: "Did His Highness personally prepare it?"
Such a trivial matter is not very reasonable.
But then I thought again... It seems that no one would dare to prepare such an expensive curtain covered with pearls and jade without King Xuan's signal.
Before Du Hongxue could speak again, Xue Qingyin sighed softly and said, "Now I owe more and more to His Highness."
After saying that, she said quickly: "Today I will treat His Highness to some bubble oil cake."
"How can a girl treat guests in her own shop as a treat?" Du Hongxue asked again.
"That's not in my own store." Xue Qingyin opened the curtain.
The carriage was heading towards Dongshi, and there were many restaurants and shops along the road.
"Stop right here." Xue Qingyin said.
The carriage stopped at the sound.
Xue Qingyin thought that the carriage driver at Prince Daoxuan's residence still listened to her words.
At this time she touched the money bag she brought with her.
He took out some loose money from it and handed it out from the window: "Two soaked oil cakes."
The people at the stall stared at Du Hongxue's dress in horror, swallowed their saliva, and then picked up two soaked oil cakes, wrapped them and handed them out.
"Young man, be careful when you burn it." He said, lowering his head and glancing at the extended hand.
Snow white, dazzling.
He didn't dare to look too much, so he raised his eyes cautiously, and saw that the woman was wearing a curtain, and the gold thread on it was faintly glowing with brilliance.
As for the person sitting beside her, only the side face could be vaguely glimpsed.
This made the stall owner vaguely recall that he had seen the day when His Highness Prince Xuan returned to court after victory...
This is...King Xuan?!
The boss thought in a daze.
After the woman took the soaked oil cake, she quickly gave one to "King Xuan" beside her.
"The outer shell is crispy and soft, but the inside is sweet and soft. Please give it a try, Your Highness," Xue Qingyin said.
King Xuan lowered his head and actually took a bite.
He asked: "Is this a thank you gift?"
After buying two, the Xue girl wanted to take one away herself.
"Hmm." Xue Qingyin asked: "Is it sweet?"
King Xuan: "...Sweet."
He doesn't like sweets.
Xue Qingyin said: "What does Your Highness lack? He lacks nothing. Whatever I give as a thank you gift is just the icing on the cake, it is really insignificant."
Is this the reason why she only sent flowers the past few times?
King Xuan raised his eyebrows calmly.
"But this sweet taste is unique, so I will give this sweet taste to His Highness. I hope Your Highness will drink honey every day from now on without any worries." Xue Qingyin spoke without blushing at all.
As she spoke, she lowered her head and took a bite of the soaked oil cake. She thought to herself, it is so delicious. She will poach this boss to Zhuangzi another day.
So he poked his head out and said, "Tomorrow I will send someone to ask the boss to come to my house to talk."
The boss's eyes widened and he agreed repeatedly in disbelief, and then watched them go away.
Du Hongxue asked: "What is the girl talking to this man about?"
"How much money does it cost to invite him to Zhuangzi to make this soaked oil cake?" Xue Qingyin paused and asked him: "Have you ever eaten this in the mansion?"
"No." Du Hongxue shook his head.
King Xuan seemed to have noticed Xue Qingyin's thoughts and said: "There is none in the palace either."
"That's good." Xue Qingyin narrowed her eyes and smiled with satisfaction.
Du Hongxue reacted: "So it turns out that Miss Xue also started a business?"
Xue Qingyin asked: "Isn't it possible?"
"Of course it will work." But... Du Hongxue thought to himself, he had never seen any woman who was in the same place with His Highness Prince Xuan and had the heart to think about this.
That's why Miss Xue is different from them.
Du Hongxue sighed deeply in his heart.
"I just borrowed your Highness's name. Thank you very much, Your Highness." Xue Qingyin's voice sounded again.
"Where did you borrow it?" Du Hongxue wondered.
Xue Qingyin said: "When the people at the stall saw how you were dressed, and then vaguely saw the people sitting in the carriage, they would naturally guess that you were either rich or noble. If I invited him again, he would naturally not refuse at all."
Du Hongxue understood.
But this borrowed name is so light and flamboyant that the person being borrowed from her will never be unhappy at all, but will only think that she is smart and lovable.
The proportion in this... is really just right.
The carriage continued to move forward.
Xue Qingyin bought some more food along the way.
Most people buy two copies and give one to King Xuan.
King Xuan tasted them one by one and couldn't say whether they were delicious or not.
Du Hongxue looked a little greedy and couldn't help but said: "How does Miss Xue know so many delicious things?"
Xue Qingyin thought to herself, naturally it was because last time, the enemy He Songning bought her a trip along the way.
Next time I go back to the West Market, I have to think of an excuse to ask my enemy He Songning to go with me.
It would be too much of a loss for her to pay for it herself, but it would be more comfortable for her to pay He Songning.
With this thought in her mind, she said: "Oh, my brother likes to buy these things for me. If he eats them a lot, he will naturally know where the best food is."
Du Hongxue was puzzled.
Really? It sounds like the relationship between brother and sister is quite good. But last time Fang Chengzhong said that at Zhuangzi, he saw Miss Xue and her brother at war with each other.
Xue Qingyin thought to herself, I don't want to leave any excuses for He Songning.
He Songning is too vindictive.
You can scold him in front of him, but scolding him in front of others is too risky.
In this eating and drinking room, we finally arrived at Linghu Pavilion.
Xue Qingyin jumped out of the carriage first and couldn't help but burped lightly.
Before King Xuan came down, they all heard a scolding.
"roll!"
In the Linghu Pavilion, two big-bodied and round-waisted guys came out.
Under their push, a thin, disheveled man fell outside the threshold.
"You don't listen to anything you say. Is this the place you should be?" the waiter cursed.
The man stood up, but his back was straight: "I told you earlier, I have an appointment with someone here, why don't you let me in?"
"Okay, why bother talking nonsense with him? The master's family will be here soon. Is it unlucky to see these things at the door?" A man who looked like a shopkeeper came out with a face.
"Why didn't I know the master sent someone here?" Xue Qingyin interrupted.
The shopkeeper couldn't recognize her, so he said, "May I ask who this noble person is?"
Without waiting for Xue Qingyin to answer.
Another carriage was approaching in that compartment, and the driver was a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man looked very familiar.
Isn't this the housekeeper of the Xue family?
Xue Qingyin raised her eyebrows and said.
Butler Xue jumped out of the car, and of course the shopkeeper saw it. His expression immediately changed and he said in a deep voice: "Quickly, clean up quickly, the master's family is here!"
In that compartment, Butler Xue opened the car curtain and a young girl came out.
"This is our second Miss Xue." Butler Xue said before turning around.
Her father specially sent a housekeeper to support her. The tension in Xue Qinghe's heart dissipated a lot, and even her head no longer hurt.
Just when she came down, she caught sight of... Xue Qingyin!
At this time, the housekeeper naturally noticed it, and the smile on his face suddenly froze, and his tone was weird: "...Big, why is the big girl here?"
"Yeah?" Xue Qingyin tilted her head, "This word is used very well."
She said, but no longer looked at them.
Instead, he turned his eyes and looked at the man who was driven out in a state of embarrassment. He politely raised his hands and asked, "Are you Mr. Liu?"
"Liu Xiuyuan, do you recognize me?" the man asked in surprise, and raised his hand to brush the hair from his face.
Liu Xiuyuan.
What a familiar name. The shopkeeper thought to himself.
Xue Qinghe usually reads a lot, so he immediately reacted: "Liu Xiuyuan, the sage of calligraphy?"
Hearing her address her so respectfully, the man suddenly turned cold and said, "What kind of calligraphy saint?"
Seeing that he dared to treat his master with such an attitude, the shopkeeper also said with a cold face: "Second girl, take a closer look. Does he look like what you call a calligrapher? He's more like a beggar."
Xue Qingyin glanced at the shopkeeper and said, "I have an appointment with Mr. Liu."
The expressions of the shopkeeper and Butler Xue suddenly became strange.
Xue Qingyin was speechless. Oh, I forgot, now women cannot meet alone with men. That is called a private meeting.
At this time, she was on the carriage behind her.
The man stretched out his hand, slowly rolled up the car curtain, and said in a cold tone: "I and Miss Xue have an appointment with me."
The curtains are indigo brocade.
