There were still two days until Queen Beiqiu's birthday, so she had plenty of time to prepare other things. Zuihualou was scheduled to reopen in four days. Thinking of attracting envoys from various countries to attend the birthday banquet, Hu Luanfei had a sudden idea and made several large freezers and placed them in the courtyard. If anyone needed any food, they could go out and get it, and then record what they had taken in the notebook after returning.

In ancient times when there was no Internet, this cumbersome method was the only way to record each customer’s dishes.

Hu Luanfei was a little embarrassed at first, after all, it was a few more unnecessary tasks and he was afraid that everyone would be tired. But these people didn't seem to mind, and instead found it novel and had a lot of fun.

"Luan Fei, come here." The snow was still falling outside. Qi Siriao arrived at Zuihualou exhausted. As soon as he got off his horse, and before he had time to sit down and drink some hot tea, he quickly pulled her into the side room and closed the door.

When he entered the yard just now, everyone looked at him with puzzlement, wondering why he suddenly became so anxious. But when they saw him pulling her into the house, everyone suddenly realized what was going on and smiled secretly with an expression of "I understand".

This made Hu Luanfei blush and he started to scold Qi Siliao for being a bad person as soon as he entered the door.

He was thick-skinned and not affected at all. "Take a look at this first."

Without saying anything else, Qi Siliao took out a wooden box from his bosom and handed it to her. His slender fingers were cold and calloused, and on his right thumb was an emerald green ring.

Hu Luanfei's gaze lingered for a moment, then she gently moved away after coming to her senses. She reached out to take it with both hands, and when her fingertips touched the edge of the wooden box, she heard him tell her in an unhappy tone, "This is the portrait of the dream lover of King Beiqiu."

Hu Luanfei was confused, "Then what?"

"Open it and take a look."

Hu Luanfei opened the box, took out a painting, untied the red rope on it, and the true appearance of the person in the portrait slowly appeared before his eyes.

The woman had mountain-like eyebrows and watery eyes, a fair neck and fragrant shoulders, a slender waist, and her hair was tied down like a mist... She was almost exactly like herself.

When he saw the facial features of the person in the portrait clearly, Hu Luanfei almost dropped the painting on the ground.

She hurriedly hugged the portrait and placed it on the clean table in front of her.

The portrait was spread out, and her voice was trembling a little, "Who gave it to you?"

Qi Si Liao did not answer, but just asked her, "The current king of Beiqiu is over 40 years old, and you are only about 21 or 22 years old. How did you become the woman of his dreams?"

Hu Luan's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she was a little dazed.

Obviously, she couldn't answer such a question.

After all, the woman in the portrait was only about twenty years old, and she was sure that she had never been in front of King Beiqiu, so she naturally couldn't figure out the reason.

So, she didn't think much about it, but just rolled up the portrait and tied it up again, and said in a nice way: "There are many beautiful women in Beiqiu, and it's not surprising to occasionally find someone who looks like me. Don't think too much about it."

Qi Siliao's eyes fell on her face.

He bent his index finger and tapped her nose lightly, "I just thought that you have enough charm to attract King Beiqiu. Don't worry too much. The king will not suspect that you have ulterior motives."

Who would believe it if I told them?

During the short conversation that lasted half an incense stick, he had countless suspicions.

"Before meeting the King of Beiqiu, there are still many doubts that need to be solved. The most crucial point is whether the woman in the portrait is me or someone else. I think you want to know more than I do."

She wasn't being subtle at all.

But Qi Siliao was not angry.

He really wanted to know who the woman in the portrait was and what her relationship was.

If Hu Luanfei was the white moonlight that King Beiqiu thought about day and night, Xuanyuan Yuqing, as the second prince, would have gone to the palace to claim credit as soon as he saw her for the first time, and would not have waited until today to let him know about this.

Presumably, this was also the first time that Xuanyuan Yuqing knew of the existence of this portrait.

"Once you meet the King of Beiqiu, all mysteries will be revealed." He sat there calmly, as if he was very annoyed. "I haven't decided what gift to give to Queen Beiqiu yet."

Hu Luanfei tried: "How about a full set of skin care products?"

Qi Siliao replied: "Beiqiu is rich in products, your things must be unique."

"I know."

-

That night, Hu Luan flew back to Taohua Village, entered the space and asked Liu Ruofeng to send over two sets of exquisite and expensive skin care products.

There was a message from Liu Ruofeng on the message board. He couldn't remember how long it had been, but he was still thinking about the few pots of flowers he had asked her to help him grow.

Hu Luanfei looked back and saw that the pots of flowers had already regained their vitality. Perhaps due to the environment and climate, many branches had sprouted and some had even grown flower buds.

Now that he mentioned it, Hu Luanfei moved several pots of flowers onto the conveyor belt without saying a word.

Unexpectedly, Liu Ruofeng sent a message soon, praising him like a dog, "You are really a god. You can grow such a difficult flower so well. I admire you so much."

Without waiting for her reply, Liu Ruofeng sent another embarrassed expression, as if hesitating for a long time before he dared to ask her, "Do you have a medicine that can make people lose their memory temporarily, with minor side effects, and it is not easy to be found when mixed in food..."

Hu Luanfei glanced at the forget-me-nots that were in full bloom around him, pursed his lips, and asked, "Want to harm someone?"

He immediately denied it and told the truth: "I fell in love with someone, but the person she liked was gone and she couldn't let go. I wanted her to forget about the person for a while so I could take advantage of the opportunity to get in..."

Liu Ruofeng didn't look like he was joking.

Hu Luanfei hesitated.

Thinking back to the time when Qi Siriao was drugged by Ming Feng'er, although he only forgot about it for a short time, when he remembered it later, he was still ruthless to Ming Feng'er.

If you do this, it will be like a dream and everything will be in vain in the end.

"Is there?" Liu Ruofeng felt like he was desperate and trying every possible means to cure his illness.

Hu Luanfei finally cut several bunches of forget-me-not and gave them to him, explaining how to eat them and their side effects. In the end, it was up to him whether to give them to others or not.

Hu Luanfei sat there in a daze for a long time before he remembered that he still had something to do. He poured the skin care products into the basin filled with space spring water and stirred them evenly, then poured them into another clean porcelain bottle and replaced it with a square wooden packaging box.

Everything was ready, but she suddenly remembered the portrait that Qi Siliao had shown her.

I vaguely remember that A Niang looked more like the woman in the painting.

Could it be…

Auntie is actually...

"Luan Fei, Jiang Wu just asked for permission to slaughter two sheep as a grand opening gift..." Qi Siriao lowered his eyes, his gaze falling on the extra wooden box and the portrait on the table.

He took out a hairpin from his bosom and inserted it into Hu Luanfei's hair. Comparing them, he felt that she was exactly like the woman in the painting.

But if you look closely, there are still differences.

The woman in the painting is gentle and lovely, the type of beautiful girl next door.

Although Hu Luanfei is similar to the woman in the painting, she has a flamboyant temperament and slightly aggressive facial features, and is not gentle at all.

The same face, but with different temperaments, is easy to distinguish.
