After rebirth, the down-and-out concubine married the cold prince

Chapter 17

Liu Piaopiao carried the snow lotus in her pocket, even though the box containing the snow lotus was double-layered.But that quiet fragrance still kept coming out from Liu Piaopiao's arms, and as time passed, Liu Piaopiao's whole body was tainted with that fragrance.

The tip of He Zhi's nose twitched, and he sighed, "As expected of a treasure, the smell is refreshing."

When Liu Piaopiao got home, it happened that Liu Yufu invited friends to watch a play in Liyuan.She was sitting on the sedan chair and ran into Liu Piaopiao head-on.Liu Piaopiao originally hid and wanted to avoid Liu Yufu, but the other party opened the curtain with surprise on his face.

"What's the smell, so fragrant?"

Liu Yufu looked at Liu Piaopiao with a look of scrutiny.

"What have you been doing?"

Liu Piaopiao couldn't help but tighten the hand holding the snow lotus, but she didn't see anything on her face.To Liu Yufu, she has always been cowardly and polite.Every time Liu Yufu saw her, she always felt disgusted, but it was the safest way.

She looked at Liu Yufu, fawning all over her body.Bending down, Xuelian was tightly protected in her arms.The scent of the seed is so light that it is not easy to detect.

"I went for an outing. I rolled around in the flower garden just now. I'm afraid I got some scent."

Liu Yufu took a closer look and found that Liu Piaopiao's clothes were indeed a bit messy.

It's really not on the stage, and she doesn't look like a lady.Liu Yufu thought in her heart, spurned Liu Piaopiao again, and then waved her hand to tell the bearer to leave quickly, so as not to delay her watching the play.

Liu Piaopiao was relieved, and she avoided people all the way to Su Xiao's yard.

Only two days had passed, and the man's illness seemed to be much more serious.Now coughing cheeks are no longer flushed, on the contrary pale as paper.Looking at it, Liu Piaopiao also felt that Su Xiao was struggling to breathe.Every time I take a breath, my chest rises and falls greatly.

When Su Xiao saw Liu Piaopiao, he showed a smile.In her image, Liu Piaopiao is not very bold and small talk, and there are no powerful people among her acquaintances.So it was tacitly agreed that she couldn't get Xuelian, but they didn't have a deep relationship, but Liu Piaopiao cared so much about her, which moved Su Xiao very much.

"Why are you free to visit me today?"

Liu Piaopiao told Ling'er to close the door, and strode up to Su Xiao.He took out the exquisitely crafted wooden box from his bosom, and a strong but not pungent fragrance immediately permeated the air.And the snow lotus lying quietly in the wooden box, when the wind blows, the petals of the snow lotus tremble, and the fragrance even penetrates the closed door and floats far away.

Liu Piaopiao closed the wooden box and told Linger.

"Every time you decoct the medicine, you only need to put three petals."

Ling'er nodded and said: "The slave has made a note."

Liu Piaopiao was also relieved, seeing that the room was still cold, she knew that Liu Wenyan had never been back.Looking at Su Xiao's haggard face, he thought that he was so helpless in his previous life, and felt even more sad.She knelt down and held Su Xiao's hand tightly: "Sister-in-law, take good care of your illness, don't think about anything else. Your body is the most important thing."

Su Xiao said: "You've already got the snow lotus. If I don't take good care of myself, I will not let you down. But, tell me the truth." She lowered her voice, "How did you get this snow lotus?" .”

Liu Piaopiao told Su Xiao about her entanglement with the prince, and Su Xiao smiled after listening.

"Fifth girl, where is your luck in the future?"

"Why do you say that?" Liu Piaopiao opened her eyes wide, "I am a person who has no ambition and no ambition, what good fortune can I have?"

"Can't you see that? If the crown prince doesn't like you, he will talk to you so much. Is there any advantage in giving you a snow lotus just because you have a picture of a beauty?"

It was really such a reasoning, Liu Piaopiao became flustered for a while, and was a little at a loss.

"Oh, it's because I'm not thoughtful enough, I just think His Highness is a good talker."

Su Xiao covered her mouth, she didn't know whether she was happy or sick, "I'm afraid it won't be long before the decree to make you Liangdi will come down."

Liu Piaopiao shrank her neck, "Let's forget it, I don't want to be a good concubine."

Now it was Su Xiao's turn to be surprised. She took Liu Piaopiao's hand and asked, "Who doesn't want to go up. People go to high places, and water flows to low places. That's what the old saying goes."

Liu Piaopiao still looked like a quail: "If a small Zhongshu Lingfu is so flattering, let alone the royal family?"

When Su Xiao thought about it, his face suddenly sank. "That's right, that place is not something we ordinary people can provoke. Fifth girl just needs to live her life in peace."

It was getting late, Liu Piaopiao only sat here for a while before going back.Rubbing his sore shoulders, Liu Piaopiao remembered his shop.

"I have to go to the store tomorrow." She looked at He Zhi with a smile, "fourth brother's wine has been sent to the store, and it will be open tomorrow. At that time, everyone who comes to buy wine will be given a discount, and we will recruit some Dude, save yourself the hassle."

Liu Piaopiao stretched out her hand, her wrist was delicate and fair.It's just a pity that there is neither gold, silver nor pearls and jade on it. Look at the other ladies, which one is not wearing gold and silver?Even Hezhi is suffering day by day, without even a red hairpin on his head.

Liu Piaopiao set up his ambitions.

"This year's Chinese New Year, the two of us each get a gold bracelet, and we want the best filigree bracelet!"

He Zhi was amused by her, "I don't want any gold bracelets, miss, just keep it for yourself!"

Liu Piaopiao curled her lips: "That can't be done, I should treat you well if you treat me so well."

"Then thank you miss."

"You're welcome, Miss Ben is going to make a lot of money in the future."

The two talked and laughed all the way, and happened to meet Liu Wenlan taking Hongyu for a walk outside.

In spring, hundreds of flowers bloom lively.Liu Wenlan suffers from asthma and cannot smell pollen.It's just that Doctor Zhang had just diagnosed and treated her, and after a few patches of medicine, it really helped.For this reason, I turned off the wind and came out to get some air.It's just a coincidence that Liu Piaopiao's house is behind the garden, so the two met face to face.Liu Wenlan is not as unruly as Liu Yufu, nor will she make fun of Liu Piaopiao.I wanted to have a face-to-face meeting, but as soon as the two met, a faint fragrance rushed towards them. This fragrance is really pleasant, fresh and elegant.It makes people calm down for no reason as if they are in a domed snow-capped mountain.

Liu Wenlan didn't say anything, but praised: "My sister smells really good."

Liu Piaopiao laughed: "Today, I went out in the green and rolled around among the flowers, so I got a lot of fragrance."

Liu Wenlan wasn't as easy to fool as Liu Yufu, so she asked casually, "What kind of flower is that? I'll ask Hongyu to pick some and put it in the house later, it will be a little calming."

Liu Piaopiao just said that she didn't remember, "If I go out someday, I will definitely pick some flowers for my sister."

"Then thank my sister."

Looking at Liu Wenlan's probing eyes, Liu Piaopiao did not panic, after all, this was not her previous life.No matter how estranged their sisters are, they would not resort to lynching, how could they be slapped in the face like him, Zhou Wenqing, who disagreed with each other.

She met Liu Wenlan's eyes calmly: "I'll go back first if it's okay, it's cold at night, sister, take care of your body."

Looking at Liu Piaopiao's disappearing figure, Liu Wenlan suddenly recalled what kind of incense it was.Also, she was in extremely poor health, and she almost failed to be rescued several times.Later, the aunt in the palace sent Yiwei Zhibao, which is this fragrance.

That medicine is snow lotus.

Liu Enxian had just become a noble concubine at that time, and she was extremely honorable, but she only got one flower, which was used to save Liu Wenlan's illness.Otherwise, I'm afraid she won't be able to grow up.And now Liu Piaopiao actually got a snow lotus, where did she come from?

Aunt?
Liu Piaopiao had never been in the palace before, Liu Wenlan narrowed her eyes and had a bad idea.

She grabbed Hongyu's hand, and her tone became anxious unknowingly.

"You, go and find out where Liu Piaopiao went today!"

After Hongyu got the order, she saw that her young lady's face was pale, and hurried away.But after a stick of incense, Liu Wenlan knew the beginning and the end. After hearing this, Liu Wenlan became anxious and almost vomited blood.

"Yufu and I are still waiting foolishly, how would we know that someone is colluding behind the scenes, what is the difference from her whore-like mother!"

Liu Wenlan said bitterly: "You keep saying that I am not allowed to compete with Yufu, but I was preempted by others. That little hoof is so close to the prince, we are still kept in the dark!"

"Miss, don't be angry, take care of yourself!"

Hongyu hurriedly comforted Liu Wenlan, for fear that she would be angry.

Liu Wenlan followed suit and then grabbed Hongyu's hand and asked her to invite Liu Yufu.

"It's not that easy for her to fly up a branch and become a phoenix."

Poor Liu Piaopiao doesn't know anything, and she is still dreaming of her big dream of spring and autumn.

The next day Liu Piaopiao woke up early, she had made an agreement with Chang Qing yesterday.She opened business today, let Chang Qing come and get two jugs of wine as her treat.

Chang Qing also said that there is no reason not to pay for a good start.

Stretch out a finger: "I give a penny to give away wealth."

The man winked at her: "Send it to me, not to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Liu Piaopiao blushed: "I'm afraid Your Highness is not used to drinking like this, I will drink some wine myself in the future."

After Chang Qing listened, she showed her two front teeth: "That's right, my daughter's wine is the best."

Liu Piaopiao came to the conclusion that this person is out of shape.

She yawned as she eyed the new recruit.

One is younger and looks white and clean.With timid eyes, not daring to look at Liu Piaopiao, she only whispered: "The shopkeeper."

He is an honest boy. I heard that his father left early, and he and his mother depend on each other for life. He is only fourteen this year.The other one was much more generous and spirited, dark and thin, with a loud voice, and he patted his chest to assure Liu Piaopiao that business would be good with him.

Liu Piaopiao memorized their names, the young one was called Shuanzi, and the rest were called Ajing.

Seeing that the wine in the shop has been cleaned up, what should be put on the shelf should be placed on the shelf, and what should be placed outside should be placed outside.Everything is in order, and Liu Piaopiao is in a good mood.Picked two jugs of new wine, made from lotus seeds.I don't know what it is, but according to Liu Anxu, it is a wine with a long aftertaste.

She waited for her first client to come to her door, but Su Xiao's maid, Ling'er, was there instead.

"Fifth girl, go back quickly, Madam is looking for you everywhere!"

Liu Piaopiao's heart skipped a beat, and she said something was wrong.
