The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

The lobby on the first floor of Baihua Garden is bustling with people coming and going.

Xiao Zhao supported Ling Xingmu from behind. She was squeezed by the people around her so hard that she couldn't maintain the calm expression on her face and almost grimaced.

He looked at Ling Xingmu dimly. Was the young master really crazy? Why did he have to squeeze in with ordinary guests when there was a VIP passage?

Ling Xingmu stood in the center of the crowd, not saying a word, which made Xiao Zhao sigh even more. The young master really went crazy since he left Herb Hall.

Ling Xingmu also felt crowded. He rarely stood in such a noisy and crowded crowd. He was the son of the Northern Territory Governor, and his treatment was not bad. He didn't have to squeeze with ordinary people when buying or going places. He had his own special way to travel.

However, now he wanted to stand in the lively crowd.

because…

He wants to see people!

As for who he was looking at? He couldn't give an answer. He looked left and right, just to let his mind wander.

At this moment, his behavior verified what he said when he left Herb Hall - he was going crazy because of idleness.

A sharp-eyed servant in the Hundred Flowers Garden noticed the appearance of Ling Xingmu, and then went to report the news to Qingxiu who was settling accounts.

Qingxiu also met Ling Xingmu when she was at the Herb Hall.

Qingxiu put down the account book, then quickly walked towards Ling Xingmu in the lobby and smiled.

"Mr. Ling, what do you need?"

"Miss Qing." Ling Xingmu shook his head slightly, "I just want to stand here for a while." Afraid that others would think he was being abrupt, he added, "I want to see what other customers like to buy so that I can use it as a reference."

Qingxiu smiled faintly and took the initiative to say, "I know a thing or two about what products people like recently. There are too many people in the lobby, so why not ask Mr. Ling to move to the VIP room on the second floor, and I'll ask someone to introduce them to you one by one."

Ling Xingmu was slightly startled, but still agreed. "Okay."

Xiao Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and followed Ling Xingmu silently.

Qingxiu received Ling Xingmu politely and even had people show Ling Xingmu a lot of new products.

Women love beauty, and men love beauty too. The products of Baihuayuan are not only designed for women, but also for men. There are products suitable for men and women, as well as people of different ages.

Ling Xingmu roughly understood some information and quickly decided which products to buy.

Before leaving, he casually said to Qingxiu: "Princess Ye allowed me to stay in the capital and have more fun. During this period, I will naturally have a good time, stroll around the streets of the capital, and see the good things in the capital. Next time the Hundred Flowers Garden has new goods, please send someone to notify me."

"Mr. Ling, you are so polite. Qingxiu has made a note of it and will inform you of the new goods in a timely manner next time."

Ling Xingmu declined the help of the staff at Baihuayuan in delivering the goods back home, and chose to leave with Xiaozhao, carrying a large pile of goods, in a horse-drawn carriage.

When they returned to their bedroom, Xiao Zhao was curious: "Why are you suddenly so interested in rouge and powder?"

"I'm a little interested, but not much." Ling Xingmu said indifferently, and then said: "Just now, Princess Ye's subordinates came to receive me, and I couldn't refuse, otherwise it would make people suspicious. Why did I squeeze in the crowd and stare blankly?"

"What I said to the people in Baihua Tower before I left was just to prove my claim that I stayed in the capital just for fun."

Glancing at the pile of goods on the table, she said to Xiao Zhao, "As for the rouge and powder, if you like any of them, just pick them from me. I don't need that much anyway."

"Oh, sir, you are joking. How can I, a guard, have any use for these? Let you use them." Xiao Zhao waved his hands repeatedly.

"Do you think I'm old? Do I need these plasters to maintain my face?" Ling Xingmu glanced at Xiao Zhao.

"No, I, that's not what I meant." Xiao Zhao looked annoyed.

"It's okay, I was just joking with you, don't be nervous." Ling Xingmu waved his hand, "Take it if you need it. Anyway, even if I want to use these plasters, I won't need so much."

He reached out and touched his face gently, which was a little dry. He went to the mirror and saw that the man in the mirror had a handsome face, but there was a trace of fatigue and sadness between his eyebrows, as if he was worried about something.

In the Laurel Building, the private room where Yun Mujiu was staying had already had the table cleaned up by the waiter, who had also served a new batch of cakes and tea.

Meng Ninglang calmed down and listened carefully to the casual chat of Yun Mujiu and the others.

Finally, the time was almost up and everyone stood up to leave.

Yun Mujiu told Princess Ji Ling that if she really couldn't refuse Princess Gao Yang's invitation, she could just go directly to Princess Gao Yang's residence. I guess there wasn't much to do at Wu Mingwei's wedding, so she should just come back as soon as possible after finishing her business, and her own safety was the most important thing.

Yun Mujiu didn't think that Princess Gaoyang would be stupid enough to take action against Ji Ling. Even if Ji Ling refused to help Princess Gaoyang harm others, Princess Gaoyang would not dare to directly punish Ji Ling who was also a royal princess.

Princess Ji Ling obediently followed Yun Mujiu's reminder, and then said: "I learned from the Cao family that the wedding banquet will not be delayed. They really don't want to delay it any longer."

"Okay." Yun Mujiu said calmly, "Don't worry. I'm not afraid of anything happening at this banquet. Princess Gaoyang and the others were defeated by me last time, and I won't lose to them this time."

You Luoyan looked at Yun Mujiu and said, "Mujiu, the emperor originally sentenced Princess Gaoyang to be confined in the princess's mansion for three months. When the three-month limit is up, Princess Gaoyang must go to the temple outside the city to pray for blessings."

A trace of worry appeared on his face, and he continued, "According to the rules of the past dynasty, when a member of the royal family who has been punished has to go to the temple to pray for blessings, it is best to go there some time in advance. This is a correct attitude of admitting mistakes, which may not only win the emperor's mercy and forgiveness, but also reduce the severity of the punishment they have to endure."

Princess Ji Ling nodded, and Bai Yanshuang continued, "I've thought of this as well. These few days should be the best time for Princess Gao Yang to leave the palace. If she wants to show a proper attitude of admitting her mistakes, she should have left the palace more than a month in advance."

"But she doesn't seem to have any intention of leaving the mansion early. Instead, she stays in the mansion with peace of mind, and is also thinking about arranging the marriages of the people in the mansion." You Luoyan gave Bai Yanshuang a look, and both of them felt a little worried about Yun Mujiu.

There must be something wrong when something is abnormal. Could it be that Princess Gaoyang is not in a hurry to leave, not eager to reduce her crime, but is harboring some bad intentions?
