"Of course. I not only tasted the fragrance of plum blossoms, but also sensed Ke'er's expectations."

"Looking...looking forward to it?" Sikong Xiang widened his eyes.

"Yes, I am looking forward to it." Ye Feng nodded seriously, "Ke'er wants to enjoy the plum blossoms with me. Alas, I am far away in the capital, so this wish cannot be realized in the near future. What a pity."

After saying that, Ye Feng sighed as if he couldn't let it go.

Sikong Xiang was even more surprised.

"You...you are His Highness, right?"

"What do you mean, sir?"

"Your Highness, I just admire Miss Lu." Sikong Xiang praised sincerely, "Miss Lu has not only changed the appearance of Lingxia Village, but also Your Highness has been changed by her. You are no longer the same as before."

Ye Feng glanced over, and Si Kong Xiang immediately added with a flattering smile: "However, Your Highness is much happier and more humane than before. Haha, that's good, very good."

Ye Feng thought about it and realized that it was true.

Why did I always miss a girl in the past?

How could I have spent time on trivial matters that had nothing to do with the court and the country?

However, nowadays, he is the one who often recalls the times with Ke'er and smiles secretly.

He knew that he really fell in love with that special girl, regardless of her abilities or her mystery.

Therefore, before leaving Lingxia Village and returning to Beijing, he made such a request to Lu Tianning.

He was afraid that she would be promised to someone else before she grew up.

It was not until they separated that he gradually understood how it felt like a long time had passed since they had last seen each other, and why he missed her so much after not seeing her for just one day.

During the days of separation, he would unconsciously recall every moment they had spent together, guessing her every response, savoring her every word, weaving his longing into a dense web that would trap himself tightly.

"Your Highness, there is something I must remind you of." Sikong Xiang suddenly said seriously.

"Oh? What's the matter?"

"Your Highness, do you feel that Xiao Shi is a little different this time?"

Ye Feng raised his eyebrows and asked, "Sir, did you find anything?"

Sikong Xiang pondered and said, "I have known Xiao Shizi for many years. This child is loyal to you and knows how to handle things. He never said a word before, and never took the initiative to express his opinions, because his every move and every word was based on your highness's standards. However, when he came back this time, I found that he not only talked too much, but also consciously used words to hint and influence your highness. Your highness, don't you find it strange?"

Ye Feng nodded: "I have also discovered it. Could it be that after experiencing a life-and-death catastrophe, even the personality of a person can change easily?"

Sikong Xiang replied, "It's not impossible. However, it's too coincidental that Xiao Shizi happened to be saved by a peerless doctor, and it's possible that he was the Lingkong doctor. I heard that Miss Lu's master is the Lingkong doctor. Your Highness might as well find a chance to ask Miss Lu. In short, Your Highness, you still have to be careful."

"Yes, I know. Please keep an eye on him. If there is anything wrong with Xiao Shi, please report it in time. I will not tolerate it."

"Yes."

……

Three days later.

A lot of people gathered in front of a store on East Street in Beijing early in the morning.

People in the nearby pubs and teahouses were very surprised, and passers-by also stopped to watch and talk about it.

"What's wrong with these people? They line up here so early in the morning."

"I heard that a new shop has opened."

"What shop attracts so many people?"

"You don't know yet? It's a store that sells rouge and powder for women. Didn't you see that most of the people in line are women?"

"Oh, it's true. These are the maids and servants of the wealthy families, right?"

"Of course. How can a rich lady show herself in public?"

“It’s so popular, I wonder who owns this shop.”

"Shh, stop talking. Look, someone is coming. Oh, is that Master Rong?"

Everyone saw a handsome young man in brocade clothes, surrounded by a group of servants, walking slowly to the door of the shop decorated with lights. He smiled and bowed to everyone present. Suddenly, the scene became quiet and there was no sound.

Rong Zhixing was satisfied to see the eager eyes of the crowd, and thought to himself: Miss Lu's publicity strategy is really effective. In just a few days, almost all the women in the capital knew that Li Yan Fang was going to open.

"Everyone, welcome to Li Yan Fang. Today, in addition to a 20% discount on all items, the first ten girls who enter the store will also have the opportunity to receive free skin care."

"Skin care, what is that?" The maids and old women waiting at the scene looked at each other in confusion.

At this time, a charming woman in her thirties walked out of the store. She stood behind Rong Zhixing, bowed to everyone, and answered for him with a smile: "I am Zhenniang, the manager of Liyanfang. Welcome everyone. Women's skin is the most delicate. If you don't pay attention to maintenance and care, then even the best skin will age and wrinkle. Our store will tailor a set of skin care plans for each customer according to their different skin types, and provide precious medicinal materials for care, so that her skin will be shiny, delicate, and beautiful."

"Wow——" an exclamation came from the crowd in the queue.

Immediately, several maids and old women walked out of the team and hurried to their young ladies or wives who were waiting in the carriages on the roadside to tell them the news.

The servants can do shopping, but for skin care, you still have to be there in person.

After a while, many women wearing veils or scarves were seen hurriedly walking into the team.

In a gorgeous carriage at the corner of the street, two beautiful women were discussing something.

"Sister Yu, are you really not going out?" A girl who looked about thirteen or fourteen years old, with a pretty face and an apricot dress that made her skin as white as snow, said. At this moment, she was staring with a pair of round eyes, holding the arm of a woman next to her with both hands, shaking it back and forth, with a look of expectation on her face, "Let's go, let's go, I heard there are a lot of cosmetics and perfumes that we haven't seen before."

Yu Qianxiu sat in the carriage, unmoved. She had an oval face, a dignified appearance, and her hair was neatly combed. Even when she was sitting in the carriage, she held her chest high, her back straight, her posture upright, and every gesture seemed to be measured with a ruler. She looked at the lively and active Wei Ling'er in front of her, and a hint of impatience flashed in her eyes.

"Ling'er, if you hadn't insisted on bringing me here, I wouldn't have wanted to come today."

"Sister Yu, you either play the piano or embroider every day, your life is so boring. Look, all the women in the capital are talking about the things in Liyanfang today."

Wei Linger excitedly pulled out a piece of paper from her sleeve, pointing at the pictures and functional descriptions of various products drawn on it, and said excitedly: "This rose perfume is said to have the fragrance of roses. It is not only good for your skin, but also helps you sleep. And this peach rouge is said to be a newly developed rouge. When you apply it on your face, it will make your face as beautiful as peach blossoms. Not only will you not see any traces of makeup, but it can also nourish your face. With so many good things, you are really not tempted at all?"

Yu Qianxiu's heart moved.

Which woman doesn’t love beauty? But when she thought of her grandmother’s usual teachings to her, she suppressed the urge in her heart.
