After Lian Feng read it, he nodded affirmatively: "It is the same as before, it is indeed the Broken Heart Powder."

"Miss Ji, please be more careful when you go out these days..."

Lian Feng reminded.

Ji Xiaobei nodded and thought to himself, how should I be careful?

There's no way to pay attention. If they want to cause trouble, there's no way to avoid it.

She herself is not afraid at all, she is afraid that something might happen to her family.

There’s no use being afraid!

When enemies come, we will fight them; when water comes, we will block it with earth. Just do what you need to do!

After coming out of South City, she went back to change into Little White Horse, took the three sets of clothes ordered by Princess Qing, and headed straight towards the capital.

She is going to meet Princess Qing.

When she arrived in the capital, the sun was at its hottest. She found a restaurant called Nianbeilou, which had two floors and the hall was full of people.

She found a secluded corner and sat down.

"Waiter, give me the signature boiled pork slices, a fried meatball, half a chicken with soy sauce, a shrimp and mushroom soup, a scallion pancake, and a pot of hanging pear soup."

After Ji Xiaobei finished speaking, the waiter shouted cheerfully, "Okay, sir, please wait a moment!"

These dishes are the restaurant’s signature dishes.

She remembered that last winter, after rescuing Jiaojiao, they were starving and cold, so Fu Jichang brought them to this restaurant.

The taste of the food was very much to her liking, so she came back again this time.

The men sitting at the table next to them were playing drinking games, and their faces were all red from drinking.

"Brother Yu, come and have a drink..."

"You can't drink any more. I'll tell you something new and interesting." A fat man with a beard wiped the soup off his beard with the back of his hand.

The brothers smiled and leaned over.

Ji Xiaobei glanced at them.

The first dish was golden fried meatballs, so oily and golden that she couldn't help but pick one up and put it in her mouth.

It’s fragrant, crispy and delicious!

Zheng Guo also loves this dish.

"Waiter, give me another plate of dry fried meatballs..." Ji Xiaobei shouted to the waiter.

Ji Xiaobei did not disguise himself today, he was wearing women's clothes.

Several grown men at the next table couldn't help but glance over.

The bearded man called Brother Yu was a little displeased when he saw that the brothers were not interested in the new things he was talking about.

"Come, Brother Yu will tell you another piece of news from the palace. Do you want to hear it?"

A few men turned their heads reluctantly.

Brother Yu with the big beard muttered to himself again.

A man couldn't help but shout, "Brother Yu, is what you said true? Don't talk nonsense, or you'll lose your head!"

"Prince Qing is indeed the most capable, and His Majesty likes him. The Crown Prince has been deposed for more than a year, so it's time to appoint a Crown Prince."

"It is said that the crown prince is most likely to be Prince Qing. How could it be Prince An? Impossible, Brother Yu, your information is inaccurate..."

"Shh, don't speak so loudly!"

Brother Yu blushed and pressed his lips with his fingers.

"Even if I'm talking nonsense, you will know sooner or later. The emperor is old, and sooner or later he will appoint a crown prince."

Brother Yu took a bite of meat and said.

……

Ji Xiaobei listened while continuing to eat with his head down.

Establishing a crown prince is a big deal. The court is in chaos now, and a new emperor appoints new ministers. It would be good if there is no fratricide among the people.

She lowered her head and thought.

Jiaojiao's grandfather, Lord Qiu, left in a hurry, saying that he wanted to help the emperor solve his problems.

The government is unstable and outsiders are watching covetously.

Your Majesty must be worried.

Hey!

It's not easy to be an emperor. It's better for ordinary people to have some money and food.

At this time, I heard them say again.

"Have you heard that the potatoes planted in Anzhou Prefecture have really grown? I heard that the yield is not low?"

"Why didn't the Minister of Agriculture bring out the potato seeds earlier..."

"How could the Minister of Agriculture have such ability? I heard that it was the Fu Tongpan of Anzhou who brought him here from the northern border. He still has many old subordinates there..."

……

Ji Xiaobei listened in a disjointed manner.

The meal was almost finished, and Zheng Guo put another plate of meatballs in the cold storage.

She stood up and prepared to leave when she heard one of the men say, "That Fu Tongpan is really capable. No wonder the emperor values ​​him so much!"

"Humph! What's the point of respecting him? The Great Northern Dynasty only has one Lord Fu. He can keep Baozhou stable, but he can't go to the Northern Frontier to fight..."

"How many girls in the capital have been charmed by Fu Tongpan? Even the sister of Princess Qing is said to be attracted to him, but Fu Tongpan doesn't like her... Fu Tongpan has a mistress and they have two children!"

The person who said this was still that bearded Brother Yu.

When Ji Xiaobei heard Princess Qing's name, his body trembled and he immediately became alert.

She sat down again.

Pick up the chopsticks and slowly eat the remaining meatballs.

Until they finished eating, they did not mention the matter of Princess Qing and Judge Fu again.

Ji Xiaobei was so angry that he cursed their ancestors for eight generations.

She was still thinking about hearing about Fu Tongpan's affair with his mistress. Why didn't he tell her about it? It really kept her on suspense.

She really wanted to go over and let Brother Yu with the big beard explain it clearly.

A concubine, a child, and two more!

Xiaoyaozi is really capable. She gave birth to two children with her concubine at once.

Ji Xiaobei smacked his lips. There is no smoke without fire for such things...

She paid the bill, went out, rode the little white horse towards the city.

While walking, he asked about Prince Qing's Mansion.

Following the directions given by passers-by, she came to a wide street with rows of high gray walls on both sides.

You can tell at first glance that they are a wealthy family.

After walking for about an incense stick of time, I finally saw a big gate with lanterns hanging on it.

The two stone lions sitting at the gate look majestic.

Ji Xiaobei looked up and saw three big characters written on it: "O Palace"

The first word is so complicated, I don’t recognize it.

She guessed it was Prince Qing's Mansion.

Oh my god, the Prince Qing’s Mansion is so big!

It was not until the servant next to the stone lion roared at her that she saw clearly that there were two servants standing there.

"Brother, is this Prince Qing's Mansion? I'm here to deliver clothes to Princess Qing!"

When the servant heard that it was someone who was delivering something to Princess Qing, he did not dare to delay and ran inside to report.

After a while, a nanny with oily hair and powdered face and wearing a golden hairpin came out.

Seeing Ji Xiaobei, he asked coldly: "My princess's clothes are all made by the Jin family in Beijing. Where are you from?"

Ji Xiaobei took the little white colt and stepped forward and said, "Mammy, I'm from the Zhengguo Handicraft Shop in Anzhou. Some time ago, Princess Qing came to my shop to order clothes, and I delivered them to her."

When the old nanny heard the word Anzhou, she raised her eyelids and looked at Ji Xiaobei again.

Judging from his expression, he seemed to know about this.

Ji Xiaobei took down a box from behind the little white horse and put it on the ground.

"Please let Madam know so that the princess can try it on if she has time. If it doesn't fit, I'll take it back and have it altered."

Ji Xiaobei handed a silver coin to the old lady.

The old lady then opened her eyes wide and looked at Ji Xiaobei.

She put the silver coins in her arms and said sarcastically, "The Jin family brought a dozen embroiderers and maids with them. You are the only one from your shop who came here to try on clothes for the princess?"

Ji Xiaobei: My embroiderer is so busy that she has no time to serve you.

"This is my first time making clothes for a noble lady. I don't know the rules. Please forgive me, Madam."

As Ji Xiaobei spoke, he took out a glass bracelet from his sleeve and stuffed it into the nanny's hand.

The nanny's face looked better, and her eyes softened when she looked at Ji Xiaobei.

"Wait a minute, I'll go in and report..."
