Charm King Poison Queen

  Chapter 249 Tear up another white lotus (2)

  Miss San, Miss San, Feng Shui turns around, you bullied me so much at the beginning, when you get to the palace, you will be bullied again.

   Thoughts flashed by, Bai Shuang'er closed her eyes, and smiled slowly: "I'll wait and see what she can do to me! Bring me the medicine..."

  In the upper room of Tangli Courtyard, Ning Yue sat in front of the window. The window was wide open, and the sun shone in, making the hair on Ning Yue's face slightly shiny.

  Dongmei took a translucent curtain to block out the sunlight: "It will get dark if it is exposed to the sun."

  Ning Yue stretched her waist, rubbed her slightly sore neck, sewed the last stitch, and cut off the thread.

   "Huh! It's finally done! How is it? Is it pretty?" She handed it to Dongmei.

  This is a multicolored gorse pearl wipe forehead, silver fabric, embroidered with a lifelike gorse, the bird's eyes are embellished with two tiny gemstones, very charming.

  Dongmei smiled brightly: "It's beautiful! The old lady will definitely like it!"

  Should... you will like it. Mrs. Guo's most important thing is her heart, and she will be happy when her heart comes. Ning Yue put away her needle and thread, asked Dongmei to bring a delicate brocade box, put her forehead in it, and looked at the hourglass on the wall: "It's still early, maybe I can come back for lunch."

  Dongmei understood that this meant returning a gift to Mrs. Guo, and hurriedly said, "Your maidservant, go and get the right card."

   "Wait, call Hongyu first, I have a few words to tell her."

"yes."

  Dongmei called Hongyu, and Ning Yue whispered a few words to her, Hongyu nodded: "Yes... um... Okay, I know."

  Dongmei pricked up her ears, but she couldn't hear anything. She couldn't help but feel itchy. What did Miss San say to Hongyu?

   Soon, Ning Yue remembered about Sakura again, took up a pen and wrote a reply to Sakura, thanking her for visiting, and expressing apology for not being at home, hoping to make another appointment and invite her to come over.

  Ning Yue called the post to Geng Zhongzhi and asked him to take it to Zhongshan Prince's Mansion, while she and Dongmei boarded the carriage to Guo's house together.

  After getting in the car, Dongmei suddenly asked: "Miss, has the county king not been here for a while?"

   "Yeah." The last time the two met was at Mrs. Guo's birthday banquet, counting their fingers, it seems that they haven't seen each other for almost half a month. Ning Yue opened a book casually, and said calmly, "Perhaps his eldest brother is going to go to war, and the palace has a lot of things to do."

  There are many things in the palace, and there are princes and concubines. What's the matter with the county king? Dongmei really wanted to ask this question, but when she saw her lady's icy face, she swallowed her words again.

  …

  The sun was shining brightly, Xuan Yin took Dong Ba out of the Zhongshan Palace, seeing the direction Xuan Yin was walking in, Dong Ba knew that he was going to South Street again.

  Dong Ba drooped his head, and asked weakly: "Master, why are you going to South Street again? South Street is full of women's things, we two old men, no matter what, we should go to Flower Street."

   Xuanyin kicked him.

   This time he learned to be smart, hugged Xuanyin's feet, and smiled: "South Street, South Street, hehe."

  Xuan Yin withdrew his feet and strode towards South Street.

  South Street is a commercial street left over from the previous dynasty. It is located in the very center of the capital. It is famous for a totem of a peacock flying southeast on the top archway, and it was later called South Street.

  Probably because the national war was imminent, the common people in Beijing got the news, and the prices of all the goods coming in from southern Xinjiang doubled. Because once the war breaks out, the trade between the two countries is bound to end. At that time, it will be very difficult to buy goods from southern Xinjiang.

  The goods in Southern Xinjiang are mainly herbal medicines and seafood. The shops selling these goods have been crowded with people since early in the morning. Until now, instead of the slightest decrease in customers, they have queued up outside.
