After the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion awakened, she no longer wanted to be the mistress o

Madam Su looked like she was going to ask Lou Yixiao for an explanation, but Lou Yixiao didn't give in to her, "Madam Su, I admit that your fabric is actually quite good, but unfortunately, I found a better one, so I'm sorry!"

"I'm sorry? Master, you really put it simply. That's one thousand taels of real gold and silver. Is this how you treat me?"

"enough!"

Lou Yixiao knew that she was looking for trouble, but he couldn't let her make a scene in the palace, otherwise if the matter got to the ears of the Regent or the Emperor, he, the Master of the Seven Colors, would be finished.

"Lou Yixiao, you must give this lady an explanation, otherwise..."

"What do you want? Can a mere commoner go to the Golden Palace to sue me?"

"you……"

"Madam, please calm down. You are so rude today!"

The maid reminded her not to do this, otherwise they would be the ones in trouble. Madam Su then suppressed her anger and said, "Forget it, I accept it. Time is running out. Since you didn't get the job done, then you return the money to me and we will pretend that this never happened!"

"Back to you?"

Lou Yixiao sneered, his eyes full of contempt. He slowly walked to Madam Su's side and looked at her coldly, "Madam Su, when have you ever seen something you eat being vomited out?"

"you……"

"It is impossible for me to return the money to you, but I can tell you a secret. Perhaps, this can help you turn things around!"

Sure enough, Lou Yixiao's words made Mrs. Su's face darken, but she slowly calmed down. She actually knew that the money would not be returned.

She lost the attempt to get the skin of a tiger, so she would have to pay some price, but she could still bear this price!

"What secret?"

It was noon and the sun was high in the sky.

When Li Qingwan followed the regent to a magnificent palace, Zi'er beside her was even more worried, "Madam, where are we going? I'm so scared."

If you say something wrong in this palace, you could die. Zi'er is worried that they won't be able to leave today!

"Don't be afraid, the Regent doesn't eat people."

Although she didn't know why the Regent wanted to see her, he helped her out of kindness today. She thought that he should not be a man who could not distinguish right from wrong.

So, her first impression of him was still good.

"Madam, please!"

An old-looking eunuch bowed respectfully to her, and Li Qingwan didn't care to admire the carved railings and painted buildings in the palace, "Yes!"

"They shall remain here. The Regent wishes to see his wife alone."

What, meet her alone?

This made Li Qingwan inexplicably nervous, but now she didn't dare to say no, so she straightened her back and turned around to tell the two of them, "Wait for me here."

"Ma'am, be careful!"

Ah Qing and Zi'er were both very worried about her, fearing that the Regent would cause trouble for the lady, but Li Qingwan seemed very calm. If it is a blessing, there is no disaster, and if it is a disaster, there is no way to avoid it.

As soon as she entered, she saw the heavily guarded military guards, each of whom was so majestic and intimidating.

Soon, after walking past the white marble stele, she arrived at the entrance of the main hall, which was also guarded by guards with dignity and solemnity.

"Ma'am, please."

With a creak, the door of the palace was gently pushed open, and as the door opened gently, Li Qingwan's heart rose to her throat. She had never entered the palace in her previous life. Fortunately, her father was once a general and had made her study the Four Books and Five Classics since she was a child. Therefore, she knew poetry, books and etiquette, and would not make any jokes and offend His Royal Highness the Regent.

After she entered, the door was gently closed, and the hall was decorated with gold and splendor, stretching as far as the eye could see.

On both sides were palace maids and eunuchs, with a grand presence, and high up on the throne sat His Royal Highness the Regent. She took a deep breath and slowly walked towards the hall!

"Commoner Li Qingwan pays respect to His Royal Highness the Regent!"

"Get up!"

The Regent actually asked her to stand up, and she stood up immediately. The Regent waved his hand and said, "Everyone, step back!"

At this moment, all the servants in the hall retreated, and only two people were left in the huge palace. It would be a lie for Li Qingwan to say that she was not nervous.

She was very nervous, her palms even sweating slightly, but she didn't dare show her nervousness, for fear that the prince would see it and think she was being rude.

"I wonder what the Regent wants?"

She didn't like being passive, so she took the initiative to ask, wanting to know why the Regent wanted to see her.

The Regent slowly stood up and walked towards her step by step. He walked very slowly, and the atmosphere on the scene became inexplicably tense.

Under the candlelight, the Regent was like a god in the sky, overlooking the tiny world, and Li Qingwan was the most humble human being. He could take her life with just one word!

One step, two steps, three steps...

Finally, when the Regent walked up to her, Li Qingwan didn't dare to look up at him. She lowered her head and said nothing. When the Regent saw her like this, he suddenly laughed evilly, "Why, I'm ugly, and Madam doesn't dare to look up at me?"

Li Qingwan: “…”

It's not that he is ugly, it's that I dare not look at him at all!

The regent heard her inner voice and he suddenly laughed heartily, "Lift your head, I don't eat people!"

Li Qingwan: “…”

When she slowly raised her head and looked him in the eye, at this moment, she didn't know why, her heart was beating like a deer, almost bursting through her throat...

How could this be?

This is so inappropriate!

She tried her best to hide her gaffe, but he still saw through it. "Madam, do you seem to be very afraid of me?"

Li Qingwan took a deep breath, raised her eyes and stared at him. What came into view was a mysterious face. This man was very oppressive, and anyone standing in front of him would lose composure.

"How could that be? Your Majesty, please forgive me for making fun of you. What are your instructions?"

The Regent King saw that she was uncomfortable, so he stopped teasing her and said, "Madam, don't be nervous. I am a human being, not a cannibal. Just treat me as an old friend!"

How dare she, old friend? He is the high and mighty Regent, second only to the emperor and above everyone else!

"Your Majesty, I am a humble woman..."

"The king asked you to come here to test your ability and see if you can shoulder the heavy responsibility of Royal Silk Satin."

What, he wants to test her?

This made Li Qingwan's heart skip a beat, but she remained calm. She was not afraid of his test!

"I wonder how the Regent intends to assess this woman?"

The Regent King laughed awkwardly and said, "Come on, I will take you to a place."

Going out again?

As a last resort, she could only follow behind the Regent, who seemed to want to tease her, walking and stopping, waiting for her. Finally, the Regent brought Li Qingwan to the gate of a more magnificent palace, which was also guarded by many guards. When the guards saw the Regent, they immediately bowed to him and said, "Greetings, Your Highness the Regent."

"Open the door!"

"Yes!"

When the guard gently pushed open the door, Li Qingwan took a deep breath when she saw what was inside. Her eyes widened in disbelief...

She slowly raised her eyes and looked at the man beside her, "My Lord, what's in here..."
