I don't want to be the favorite concubine of this palace anymore

Lu Qingxue knew that the things Li Rui bought were definitely for An Muxi, but when Yin Qianqian said this, Li Rui would definitely feel embarrassed.

She was a little amused, and then said, "Really? I'm looking forward to it. Thank you, Your Majesty."

In fact, some of the things Li Rui bought were for Lu Qingxue, so he said frankly: "There are indeed some specialties from Western Xinjiang, I will send someone to deliver them to Wangyue Pavilion later.

I am a little tired today, so I won't accompany you. Please do as you please."

After saying that, Li Rui left.

Yin Qianqian deliberately mentioned the specialties that Li Rui bought. She just wanted to see if Li Rui's favorite concubine would be unhappy when she knew about it. Unexpectedly, she was of such a high level that she was not moved at all.

She thought that the Rui Wang Mansion was like other noble families, with women fighting to the death in the backyard. She was a little disappointed.

Lu Qingxue looked at Yin Qianqian with a half-smile: "Miss Yin, don't you want to see a doctor? I'll ask the maid to take you to see Divine Doctor Gao. The prince should have already notified him."

Seeing a doctor was just a cover. Her real purpose was to deal with Li Rui, so she said quickly, "I've been running around for several days. I'm a little tired today. Let's go see Dr. Gao tomorrow."

Lu Qingxue did not force them and asked the maid to take Yin Qianqian and the guard to the guest room in the front yard. According to Yin Qianqian's request, their rooms were next to each other.

Yin Qianqian was a little dissatisfied. She wanted to live closer to Li Rui, but she was just a guest after all, so she could only stay here for the time being.

Ah Xing followed Yin Qianqian into her room, helped her make the bed, and put away the clothes she had brought.

Yin Qianqian stepped forward and pinched Ah Xing's arm hard a few times, but Ah Xing didn't even frown, as if he was already used to it.

"Are you unhappy with me? You have a sullen face all day long."

"Don't dare!"

Yin Qianqian bit his shoulder hard and said, "I get annoyed when I see your damn face!"

Ah Xing's expression finally changed a little, anger flashed across his face, his hands clenched into fists, veins bulged on his arms, as if he was enduring something.

Just when Yin Qianqian was about to bite him, there was a knock on the door.

"Ms. Yin, the princess asked me to ask if you need hot water to bathe now?"

Yin Qianqian whispered, "Get out! I want to take a shower."

The door was suddenly opened, and a man came out, scaring the maid. She didn't knock on the wrong door.

At this time, Yin Qianqian's voice came from inside:

"Please prepare some hot water for me. I want to take a bath. Remember to thank the princess for her hospitality when you get back."

The little maid immediately took the order and went to fetch hot water.

After carrying the hot water, the little maid went back to report and told Lu Qingxue about the guard coming out of Yin Qianqian's room.

Although people in this era are not so conservative, there are still some rules to follow when men and women are unmarried. It is definitely not polite for a man to enter a woman's boudoir casually.

Unless these two people have a special relationship.

Lu Qingxue didn't expect that Yin Qianqian was so playful and even brought a male lover with her when she went out?

She wrote several invitations for An Muxi, inviting some young ladies from official families in the imperial capital to visit Xier's beauty store tomorrow.

After a while, An Muxi asked Xiaoqin to deliver a bottle of pearl cream, a bottle of rejuvenating cream and a whitening mask, and also gave the anti-toxic beads that she had made last time to Lu Qingxue.

Lu Qingxue knew that An Muxi was thanking her for taking care of her, so she gladly accepted it.

In the evening, Jianying sent a bag of preserved fruits, a pair of mutton-fat jade bracelets and a white fox fur cloak. Lu Qingxue was a little surprised that Li Rui actually brought her some local specialties.

Maybe he was afraid that if she knew he only bought things for An Muxi, it would hurt him. But the things were all good, so he should not miss them.

An Muxi received several packages of preserved fruits, a red fox fur cape, a pair of mutton-fat jade bracelets, a box of gems, and several styles of handmade cowhide bags.

She felt helpless. She really liked the things, but she couldn't keep them. She could only put them away. She didn't want to owe Li Rui too much, as it would be troublesome if she couldn't get it cleared in the future.

Xiaoqin and the others were amazed. An Muxi asked Xiaoqin to register and put the things into the warehouse, then she opened the preserved fruits and started eating them with a few maids.

It tastes good. I can bring some for Xiaoyun and the others to try tomorrow.

Thinking that the beauty store would be opening tomorrow, An Muxi quickly gave Xiaoqin and the other two some precautions.

Then they went to rest early.

Early the next morning, An Muxi brought Xiaoqin Banxia Chenxiang to open the door of Huanyan Beauty Store.

I put the welcoming potted plants prepared in advance at the door, and then specially made a red felt mat to spread at the door, which means a good start.

The products were almost ready a few days ago. An Muxi and Xiaoqin worked overtime for several days. "Pearl Cream", "Wrinkle Cream", "Rejuvenating Cream" and "Whitening Mask" are the main products of the store. They are all placed in a more conspicuous position.

There are also some blushes, lipsticks, and eyebrow powders packed in exquisite small porcelain bottles, which are also very attractive.

An Muxi also designed the packaging herself. In that era, materials were limited, so she could only be creative in the design. Fortunately, she could borrow some modern promotional methods and design concepts to make her products stand out.

Xiaoqin, Banxia, ​​Chenxiang were wearing the same light pink brocade dress with the word "Huanyan" embroidered on it. They also put on some makeup today, which made them look even more fresh and beautiful.

An Muxi also dressed up a little, wearing a rose-red Shu brocade skirt and the set of jade jewelry that Dai Meng had given her.

The whole person looks exquisite, gorgeous and noble, which immediately raises the level of the entire store.

Banxia lit the firecrackers prepared at the door, which soon attracted the attention of some women who were shopping.

Everyone was a little curious. Seeing several well-dressed women standing in front of the new store, they didn't know what was going on inside, so some brave ones walked closer to find out.

Xiaoqin hurriedly went over and said, "Everyone is welcome to come into the store and experience it. Today we are opening the store and there are many discounts. It's okay to come in and have a look even if you don't want to buy anything.

Miss, you are so beautiful, you will definitely like our products, why don’t you come in and take a look, there are gifts for you when you enter the store.”

Banxia: "Don't miss it if you pass by. The new store opens today, with many activities and discounts."

Chen Xiang: "The first 20 customers today can enjoy a free beauty treatment. Isn't this a rare opportunity?"

As soon as the women heard about the new store opening promotion, they all went in.

An Muxi then followed Xiaoqin and the others into the store. Xiaoqin was a natural speaker, and with the sales talk she had recently trained them on, the distinguished customer was not disgusted and instead developed a keen interest in these beautifully packaged skin care products and cosmetics.

It has to be said that it is really easy to make money from women. It was the same in ancient times. Several products were positioned in the mid-to-high-end market, but because the raw materials were not cheap, they had to be positioned higher.

However, there is no shortage of rich people in the capital, and she believes that her products will definitely sell well.

All customers who come to make purchases today will receive free samples, which makes the women very excited. Xiaoqin brings Pinellia and Agarwood to let customers who come into the store try out the skin care products.

Soon, a woman paid for the product. When she got the free sample, she was delighted and felt that she had made a good deal. Several people around her also started to choose their favorite products.

An Muxi smiled with relief, her hard work was not in vain. The rich ladies that Lu Qingxue invited hadn't arrived yet, but the restaurant was already open, not bad.

After a while, Lu Qingxue came with Yin Qianqian, and then Jiang Siyu, Gu Anyan and some of the daughters invited by Lu Qingxue came one after another.

When everyone saw how lively it was inside, it seemed like they didn't need them to come and save the day.

Lu Qingxue smiled and said, "Xi'er, congratulations, it looks like your business must be good!"

The young ladies nearby also congratulated An Muxi, and then were attracted by Xiaoqin's introduction.

At this time Jian Feng came over, and Lu Qingxue asked curiously: "What are you doing here? Is there something wrong with the prince?"

Jian Feng saw Xiao Qin dressed up new today, her cute face smiling as she introduced something to the customers. He was startled for a moment, then quickly retracted his gaze and said, "The prince asked me to buy twenty copies to give to the ladies in the palace."

Everyone in the store was in an uproar. The young ladies looked at An Muxi with envy. Mrs. An was really favored. She opened a small store and Prince Rui helped promote it to the palace.

There was a hint of jealousy and resentment in Yin Qianqian's eyes. Apart from her good looks, there was nothing special about this concubine An. How could Li Rui care so much about her?

But she observed for a long time yesterday and didn't see Li Rui do anything special. It seemed that Li Rui didn't dote on her very much. Was she overthinking?
