Chapter 367: Goodbye Princess, Easy Plan to Make Money
Seeing Shu He being taken away, Zhang Zhirou was extremely anxious, but she didn't know who to ask for help.
Baili Moqing? But Liu Ruxin had nothing to do with him, so what reason did she have to ask him for help?
Shen Lanzhi?
Although Shen Lanzhi has a close relationship with Shen Chuan, she is not Shen Chuan after all. How could the princess listen to him?
Xizhu walked quickly past the front yard of Prince Li's mansion. Uncle Zhang wanted to ask him to have breakfast, but seeing his serious expression, he didn't say anything else.
"Hey, now that we're in Kyoto, these guys are all super busy. I haven't seen Nanqi for a long time..."
Uncle Zhang sighed and still missed the time he spent in Beisha City.
At that time, the place we lived in was not this big and there were not so many people, but life was quite fulfilling and I didn’t feel so lonely.
Madam Wang consoled him, "Uncle Zhang, they are all people who are doing great things. We can't help them much, so just make them some more delicious food!"
Although they may not be able to eat it.
But it's better than doing nothing.
"If only He Niangzi and Yi'er were still here..."
After these words were spoken, both of them fell silent.
Study in the central courtyard.
"Your Highness, the Princess has sent someone to invite Liu Ruxin to the Princess's residence."
Baili Moqing raised his eyes, puzzled, "Why would my aunt pay attention to her?"
"Early this morning, a rumor spread that Liu Ruxin was Shu He, the daughter of the Shu family who appeared at the Xiangfu banquet five years ago!"
Xi Zhu's face was solemn, and he said worriedly, "The princess must have heard the rumor and went to find Miss Liu."
Baili Moqing stood up from his chair calmly and asked, "Who leaked this news? Xiaojiu?"
"No, it's the Fourth Prince." Xi Zhu said.
The fourth one!
Baili Moqing stood at the door and said calmly, "It seems that he can't wait to muddy the waters of Kyoto."
"As for Liu Ruxin's identity, even Xiaojiu can't see through it, let alone my aunt?"
"She'll be fine."
Xizhu felt a little relieved after hearing this.
When he heard the news, he was quite nervous and subconsciously thought that Liu Ruxin was Shu He.
Judging from the prince's tone, he might have been skeptical before, but now, he is basically certain.
"Your Majesty, the Princess's men have been searching for Miss Shu He. I think she has ulterior motives. Should we just ignore it?"
"Before, you didn't care because you also wanted to use the Princess's help to find Miss Shu He. But now, she has been found. If you let the Princess continue searching like this, her identity might be exposed one day."
Baili Moqing was silent. Although he was not worried that Zhaoming would hurt Shu He, it was not good to leave such a potential danger.
Perhaps it's time to give a warning.
"Prince Yong has been in Kyoto for quite some time, hasn't he? If a foreign king in Kyoto doesn't behave himself, he will only bring trouble upon himself."
Xizhu was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood what he meant.
"Your Highness wants Prince Yong to advise the princess?"
"My subordinates will make arrangements now."
Xizhu was about to leave when Baili Moqing stopped him and asked, "Where is Dongping?"
"Replying to the prince, the prince of Dongping has left Huazhou and should be able to arrive in Kyoto today."
"Pay attention to what's happening in Kyoto. His return to the capital this time won't be peaceful."
Xi Zhu asked worriedly, "Your Majesty, are you saying that Prince Dongping is in danger?"
"Should we send someone to meet them?"
Baili Moqing shook his head, "Let's wait and see who makes a move."
The eldest princess's mansion.
The magnificent mansion is filled with pavilions, terraces, and huge rock formations. Countless moon gates and endless wooden corridors all demonstrate power and nobility.
In the central courtyard garden, the green tiles and flying eaves, carved beams and painted buildings, surrounded by mountains and water, the scenery is so pleasant that it makes people who see it gasp in amazement.
The Princess's Mansion is much more noble and luxurious than the Shanghe Mansion where Shen Chuan and the others live.
On the waterside terrace of Wangchun Garden, Princess Zhaoming was graceful and elegant, twisting a piece of exquisite osmanthus cake in her hand and sprinkling it little by little into the lake below the waterside terrace.
As the osmanthus cake was sprinkled, countless carps of various colors rushed to the surface of the water to eat.
Looking at the fish that were fighting each other for a few pieces of osmanthus cakes, her delicate face was full of smiles.
"What a bunch of silly fish!"
After saying that, she crushed all the osmanthus cake in her hand and threw it into the water.
At this time, Shu He was brought outside the water pavilion by Liu Xi.
"come in."
Zhaoming sat on the white pear wood couch on the east side. A thick silk cotton backrest fit her waist perfectly, allowing her body to completely relax, feeling both lazy and comfortable.
"Liu Ruxin, meet the Princess!"
Zhaoming supported herself with her hands and leaned forward. When she saw the people below, doubt appeared in her eyes.
Apart from some similarities in figure, this woman has nothing in common with Shu He from Beisha City!
Is the fourth brother going crazy and trying all kinds of treatments?
"Get up."
"Thank you, Princess."
Shu He stood beside the pillar with his hands folded, his eyebrows and eyes gentle, looking well-behaved.
This posture made Zhaoming even more certain that she was not Shu He.
That woman seemed to be born with a rebellious nature. There was no sense of superiority or inferiority between her eyebrows and eyes. She was disgusting to look at.
"I heard that Zhenyao Pavilion defeated the former Xia's Pharmacy in less than half a year and became the number one pharmacy in Kyoto? Mr. Liu, your ability really earned us women a lot of face!"
Shu He smiled, but he didn't show any pride. He just said modestly, "Thank you for the compliment, Princess. But everyone in Tianqi knows that the Princess has made great contributions to the stable development of Tianqi. This little thing of mine is not worth mentioning in front of the Princess."
Zhaoming's eyes were full of smiles, and these words touched her heart deeply.
She got off the couch, her face full of pride, "You are right. If it weren't for my marriage to the Northern Di people back then, how could Tianqi have the stability it has today?"
Even a common girl knows this, but the one in our palace doesn't know it.
She was even grounded!
Just ungrateful.
Seeing this, Shu He silently gave another round of praise, "The people of Tianqi will always remember the kindness of the princess!"
Zhaoming's smile grew even happier, his entire body radiating joy and peace.
"You have a very sweet mouth." She stood up and walked to the round table and sat down, waving her long sleeves. "Sit down."
Shu He pretended to be frightened and said quickly, "I'll just stand there."
Seeing a hint of fear between her brows, Zhaoming smiled faintly, very satisfied.
This is the attitude an ordinary person should have when meeting a royal princess!
"Okay. It's up to you then." As the eldest princess, it was indeed inappropriate for her to sit with commoners.
"I heard that your precious medicine pavilion sells a magical ointment that can make people look radiant and restore youth?"
The reason she was called here this time, in addition to verifying her identity, was to get the legendary rejuvenating cream that could restore youth.
Shu He lowered his head and eyes and replied, "Your Highness the Princess must be talking about the Rejuvenating Cream."
"Yes, that's the thing. Do you have any more?" Zhaoming's eyes were full of light, and there was a hint of anticipation in them.
"Princess, this ointment is indeed sold in the Precious Medicine Pavilion."
"However, this item is extremely precious and rare. There are only five boxes left. One was sold to Ge Sannian, the number one imperial merchant in Kyoto. One was sold to the Princess of Jin. The remaining two were bought by the Seventh and Ninth Princes respectively. Only the last box is left..."
"This princess wants it!"
