Manmiao couldn't interrupt at this time, and she wasn't interested in participating in the process. She just wanted to discuss the results and tell her how to implement them.
I slept happily until dawn, only to find that Lan Ting hadn't come back yet.
In the past, when he left early and came back late, he would leave some traces on the bed. When he woke up this morning, Manmei only saw the traces of his rolling. The bedding on Lan Ting's side was all neat and tidy, which meant that Lan Ting had not been back all night.
When Zhuxiang helped her wash up, she asked casually. Zhuxiang said that the prince stayed in the study with his staff all night, and no one was allowed to come near. All the guards were patrolling ten feet away. Anyone who approached without permission would be punished.
Shot dead on the spot.
I went out at dawn and didn't sleep a wink all night.
Manmei began to rejoice. Fortunately, she never played those little romances. If she went to Lan Ting on a whim in the middle of the night, she might have to say goodbye directly.
Manmei handled the affairs in the house with ease and began to think about what programs to arrange for the New Year.
It is said that this is her first time to have a good New Year.
Although she also celebrated the Chinese New Year after traveling back in time, there was no Chinese New Year atmosphere in Washington, D.C. There were so many bad things to do, who was in the mood to celebrate the New Year?
Now is the New Year that she has the ability to control, so naturally she has to think about how to spend it well.
I was making a plan in my special notebook, which was still full of simplified Chinese characters. While I was still drawing talismans, someone suddenly came to report that it was His Highness Qin Qifeng of the Qin State who had sent new year's goods.
Manmei dropped her pen as soon as she heard it.
I hadn't thought about it at first, but now I've come to think of it, Qin Qifeng should be returning to China to celebrate the New Year, so why is he still wandering around the Blue Country this year and not going back?
As for him, he is the quasi-prince of Qin, but he is not here. During the Chinese New Year, the royal family is offering sacrifices to heaven. What will he do?
The New Year's goods that I brought over were said to be New Year's goods, but they might as well be called gifts.
It's just an ordinary jewelry box, it must be jewelry for her.
The things that the prince-to-be took out must not be too bad. When Manmei opened them, it turned out to be a set of expensive head and face jewelry. It was a set of flower jewelry strung with pearls and rubies of different colors. The petals of each hibiscus stone would be beautiful.
It's moving and exquisite. The stamens are made of rubies, and some pearls are made into dew shapes beside them. I really like it from the looks of it.
Since it was given by Qin Qifeng, Manmei accepted it directly without being polite.
I originally planned to put it back like this and bring it out to show off during the Chinese New Year.
Suddenly I saw a very inconspicuous word "出" written on the side of the box.
Do you mean to ask her to go out?
Recently, she had encountered some assassinations and wouldn't go out unless necessary. But now it seems that Qin Qifeng wants to ask her to go out?
But this is too strange. If you want me to go out, can't you just come and look for me? Why bother doing this?
Fortunately, she looked at the box a few more times. If she hadn't seen it, wouldn't Qin Qifeng have to wait in vain?
After many wonderful experiences, there were more doubts in her heart. She was still wondering why Qin Qifeng would call her out in such a way. Wasn't it because the emperor and Lan Ting's opponents were doing some harm?
But it doesn't seem like it when you think about it.
Her relationship with Qin Qifeng had only eased a bit in the Blue Country, but she didn't really regard Qin Qifeng as her biological father. If Qin Qifeng was in danger, Manmei might save her, but if it was so dangerous that it would endanger herself, she would
It is impossible to go as recklessly as you did to your biological father.
She didn't believe that Qin Qifeng couldn't see through her attitude. Where did he get so much confidence that he would definitely go out?
Manmiao sat at the table and thought for a moment. It suddenly occurred to her that Jiang Shang and Qin Qifeng had been coming to Prince Yi's Mansion for two days in a row, wanting to tell Manmiao about Lan Ting's private meeting with Hu Ren.
Lan Ting was very wary of the two of them.
Lan Ting looks like a carefree playboy. Only through contact with Manmei during this period did he realize that this person is not as meticulous as his hair, but he is close. If he doesn't want to, Qin Qifeng and Jiang Shang will really have no choice.
Come into Prince Yi's Mansion.
Jiang Shang probably knew something and told Qin Qifeng, and Qin Qifeng came forward to inform Manmiao.
After thinking about this, Manmei started to make a decision, should she go or not?
If you don't go away, this will always be a thorn in your heart.
If we go, we might have a fight with Lan Ting.
Lan Ting is no better than Jiang Shang. He has to take his own face into consideration when doing things. If Lan Ting is angered, he will really fall out and refuse to recognize others. He doesn't care about such false things as good reputation.
After thinking about it for a while, Manmei decided to go and have a look.
She came to help out of kindness, but she couldn't be treated like a fool.
He turned around and asked Zhuxiang, "Where do the nobles in Canglan buy jewelry?"
What Qin Qifeng sent was jewelry. She was going out, so it was most appropriate to do it in the name of looking at jewelry and clothes.
Zhuxiang replied respectfully, "Miss, the big shops in Canglan are all in Nanfang. If you want to buy jewelry, just ask a few big shopkeepers from the silver shop to bring some things over for Miss to see. It's too cold today, Miss.
Got cold."
Manmei is very afraid of the cold, but thinking about it, if Lan Ting really prevents her from doing things, her heart will be even colder!
"How boring is it to call me in? I've been tired of staying in this house for so many days. It's time to go out for a walk." It's impossible for her to go out without bringing bamboo fragrance with her.
These days, if a young lady from a wealthy family goes out privately without anyone and is discovered, it is the same as being stripped naked and watched.
Otherwise, the Wu family, which is graceful in the country of Yue, would be so angry when the maid brought by the Jiang family was let off the hook? These are all rules. In ancient times, if you did not abide by these unspoken rules, the consequences would be serious.
The carriage is always available in the house. Manmei packed it up, put on a fox fur cloak and went out. The other things were brought with her own bamboo incense belt, and she followed her. Zhuxiang did not mention anything else, she did her job as a maid, Manmiao
The best one I've ever seen.
She regretted it as soon as she went out. It was too cold, and the breath of both people and horses was filled with thick white air. Her face started to feel numb from the cold just a few steps from going out to getting on the carriage.
There was a silver frost charcoal incense cage on the carriage, and bamboo incense was sprinkled with some dried flower petals on it. Manmei didn't like strong incense. She liked the fragrance of flowers every time, but it was rare to find these dried flowers in the house in the cold winter.
Today is Osmanthus. The sweet smell of Osmanthus floats in the carriage, and it feels like I have returned to the golden osmanthus in August.
The doors and the carriage are covered with thick fur curtains, so you can't see the outside at all. There are crystal lamps inside the car, and candles as thick as your arms are lit. The light is enough, but it greatly affects the graceful observation of the situation outside.
The carriage was heading towards a busy area, and Manmei was afraid that if she walked all the way to the store, it would be difficult to get away from Zhuxiang and the others if someone saw her.
