I was flattered after crossing

When they reached the door, Xu Ruoli couldn't help but look back, gritted her teeth, and turned to leave. When Xu Ruoli left Fengqi Palace, the little maid waiting outside hurried over and said to her: "Miss, I just received a letter from the master, saying that you should go back as soon as possible and don't delay in the imperial city."

Xu Ruoli frowned impatiently: "Oh, I know, I know! Stop bothering me." After that, she walked towards her residence in silence.

"By the way, go out of the palace and go to the inn to ask Li San to check Princess Rui's past whereabouts. Do it quickly!" Xu Ruoli suddenly stopped, turned back and gave the order.

The little maid hesitated: "But..."

Xu Ruoli interrupted her angrily: "But what buts! You'd better tell me a solution that works, or pass the message on!"

The little maid was so scared that she nodded quickly: "Yes...I will go right away."

Xu Ruoli snorted in dissatisfaction, then swung her sleeves and strode away.

A few days later, the facial mask shop officially opened. Leilei named the shop "Mofa Pavilion".

"Oh my god~ I'm so tired. I haven't had a rest this whole morning~" I was so tired that I sat down on the display cabinet, gasping for breath.

"I didn't expect that our facial masks are quite popular~" Lei Lei, who was sitting nearby, also sat down with a satisfied smile on her face.

"Hey? Where's Xiang'er?" I looked around and couldn't find her, so I asked in confusion.

"She was here just now?" Leilei also echoed, looking around for Xiang'er's trace.

At this moment, we suddenly heard a sad voice coming from behind the counter: "Princess, I'm here~"

We stood up and walked over curiously, only to see Xiang'er holding an account book and writing down the accounts quickly. Her face was covered with black ink, like a cute little cat.

"Hahahaha, she looks just like a little cat!" Leilei leaned against the counter and laughed, pointing at Xiang'er and teasing.

"You know what, it really looks like her!" I couldn't help but agree with her and was amused by Xiang'er's appearance.

"Oh no, stop laughing at me. I didn't remember where I was." Xiang'er scratched her head in annoyance, and hurriedly lowered her head to continue writing the accounts, trying to hide her embarrassment.

At this moment, an elegant man walked into the store. He was wearing a blue robe and walked into the store with steady steps. The man had a handsome face and skin as white as snow, like solidified fat. Especially his peach blossom eyes, which were full of endless charm.

"Excuse me, do you have any facial masks left?" the man asked softly. His voice was low and magnetic, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

"I'm sorry, sir. Today's facial masks are sold out. I'm really sorry. How about you come back tomorrow to have a look?" Looking at the well-mannered young man in front of me, I said apologetically.

The young man frowned and said with regret: "Oh, it's all because I came down too late. To be honest, I came to the imperial city to visit my relatives and I have to go back home today. I heard that the facial masks in your store have magical effects and can make the skin look brand new, so I thought of bringing some back as a gift for my wife."

Hearing this, I couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Hey, sir, don't listen to nonsense, it's not that exaggerated. This mask only has the effect of moisturizing, whitening and brightening, it's not that magical."

"Oh, I see." The young man nodded suddenly realizing, but there was still a hint of regret in his eyes.

"You see, our store is empty right now. We really have no stock left. If there were any left, I would definitely sell them to you."

"Alas, it seems that my wife will not have the chance to use this facial mask. I don't know when she can come to the imperial city again... Thank you very much, shopkeeper. I'll take my leave now." After saying that, he turned around and left dejectedly.

"Hey, sir, please wait a moment. May I ask if you have any honey or milk at home?" I took a few quick steps to catch up with the young man and asked politely.

"Huh? Yes...this?" He stopped and looked back at me in confusion.

"Then please come with me to the pharmacy in front. I will get some special mask powder there and you can mix it yourself at home." I explained with a smile.

"Oh, that's great! Thank you so much!" The young man showed a surprised expression and thanked repeatedly.

I turned to Lei Lei and said, "Then I'll take the customer to the pharmacy first. After you finish recording the bill, clean up and call the other guys to go to Qianweilou for dinner in half an hour."

"OK~see you later." Leilei nodded in agreement with a smile.

"Thank you, lady, for taking me there in person. I don't know what to call you?" The young man looked at me and asked gently.

"It's no trouble. I was going to come to the pharmacy to tell them our dosage for tomorrow. My last name is Xiao. May I ask what your name is, sir?" I replied.

“Xiao…” The man repeated a word and then said nervously, “My surname is Liu and my given name is Yuan, which means endless source…”

"It turns out to be Mr. Liu, nice to meet you!" I said with a smile.

"Mr. Liu is so loving to his wife at such a young age that he even took the trouble to go with me to buy medicine powder." I praised him.

"Since I have married her as my wife, I must give her the best." Young Master Liu said happily.

Coming out of the pharmacy, Master Liu was carrying some medicine bags and said happily, "Thank you so much, Madam Xiao. To thank you, would you be so kind as to let me treat you to lunch?"

"Hey, there's no need to thank you. I'm not confiscating your money. You don't live in the imperial city. Do you need to hurry up?" I reminded him.

"Oh, that's not necessary. We live not far from the city."

"Well, since we are all going to have a dinner party soon, Mr. Liu, why don't you come with us? We are destined to meet!" I invited.

"This... isn't appropriate!" Young Master Liu evaded the question.

"Oh, there's nothing inappropriate. Let's go and book a private room first, otherwise there won't be any seats left in a while. This restaurant is very popular." After I said that, I walked to the front to lead the way.

"Okay, then I will respectfully obey your command."

When I walked into Qianweilou, the shopkeeper came to greet me as usual, but when he saw a strange man following me, he immediately changed his tone: "Madam Xiao, you are here~"

"Hello, shopkeeper. Do you have any single rooms available today? I want a bigger room today." I asked, pointing upstairs.

"Yes, there is more today. I will take you and this young man upstairs first." The shopkeeper said, leading the way up the stairs.

As I walked, I asked, "Boss, there are a lot of new faces in your store recently!"

"Ah! Yes, it's almost the end of the year, and some of our colleagues went home early to celebrate the New Year because their homes are far away, so we are short of staff. But it's a coincidence that a few people who wanted to do short-term work suddenly came yesterday, just in time to fill the vacancies." The shopkeeper answered with a smile, stroking his beard as he walked.

"Hey, what a coincidence~" I responded with a smile.

"Ouch~" Master Liu sighed softly.

I turned around to look at him when I heard the voice. It seemed that he tripped over his robe and lost his balance.

"How are you, young master? The floor of our third floor is indeed a bit steep." The shopkeeper asked with concern while standing above.

"It's okay, it's okay. I accidentally didn't step firmly." Young Master Liu responded a little panicked.

"Okay, then let's walk slower. Madam Xiao, take a look at this room. Are you satisfied with it?" The shopkeeper gently opened the door and asked me.

"Well, very good. This room is quite big, and you can see the river from here, which is very nice!" I said to the shopkeeper after looking around.

"Okay, if you think it's appropriate, that's great. You two take a rest first, and the tea will be here soon." After saying that, the shopkeeper left.

"Mr. Liu, please sit down freely, don't be restrained." After I sat down, I said to Mr. Liu with a smile.

"Okay, thank you." Young Master Liu sat down one seat away from me.

Soon after, the new guy came with tea, then left the room and closed the door.

I was a little worried that Leilei and the others wouldn't be able to find the room when they got there: "Eh? Never mind, the shopkeeper will recognize them anyway."

"Come, Madam Xiao, have some tea." Young Master Liu poured me a cup of tea and handed it to me.

"Thank you, you should have some tea to moisten your throat. Hmm? The tea is so strong today?" I asked while drinking tea.

"It is quite bitter." Young Master Liu also echoed.

"I guess he's a new guy and can't measure the amount properly. It's good to relieve internal heat..." As he said that, he drank all the tea in his hand.

"By the way, I didn't remember what the shopkeeper said in the pharmacy just now, so I'll have to trouble Madam Xiao to tell me again." As he said that, Young Master Liu stood up and moved a seat towards me.

I looked at Mr. Liu and explained seriously: "Oh, okay, this is easy to remember. Look, the one wrapped in white paper is for whitening. The one wrapped in pink paper is for removing yellowness. Go home and add the white one to milk, and the pink one to honey. It's that simple." As I spoke, I pointed to the medicine bags on the table and introduced them to him.

Mr. Liu suddenly leaned towards me, and the distance between us was instantly shortened. Then, he leaned close to my ear and whispered softly, "Well, okay, after hearing what Madam Xiao said, I understand."

After saying this, he even blew gently into my ear. The gentle breath brushed my skin like a feather, and it seemed to touch a sensitive switch in my body.

Suddenly, a heat surged into my heart, making me feel hot all over, my limbs began to feel numb, and my head became a little dizzy.

I was startled by his sudden action, and a trace of anger surged in my heart. I stood up suddenly, picked up the teacup on the table, poured myself another cup of tea, and drank it all. However, the moment I drank the tea, I suddenly realized that something was wrong - there seemed to be something wrong with this tea!

I turned my head and glared at Liu Yuan, my eyes full of anger and confusion.

I saw him unbutton a few buttons of his robe, revealing his strong chest and fair skin. His eyes were blurred and charming, looking at me with a half-smile.

"You...what's wrong with you? There's something wrong with the tea!" I pointed at him and asked angrily.

At this moment, I noticed that there were some bright and juicy strawberry marks on his collarbone, which were obviously planted not long ago.

I walked to him angrily, slammed his collar shut and held it, glaring at him viciously: "But this is because of your NB, right? Does this have anything to do with you?" I asked gritting my teeth.

However, Liu Yuan smiled indifferently, put his arm around my waist and held me tightly in his arms. His movements were so fast that I didn't have time to react. Then, he took me to sit on his lap, put his slender hands gently on my waist, and looked at me with a smile. "What, what's the relationship? I know now that I have a warm and soft jade in my hands."

After he said that, he tore open the collar of his shirt that I had just closed for him.

"Good fellow, you are setting a trap for me~ But... I am not afraid of you..."

I quickly pulled out the hairpin on my head, then used all my strength to pierce it into his collarbone and then pulled it out immediately.

"Ah!" I heard him scream, pushed me to the ground, covered his wound, stood up, and ran to the door.

At this time, the blood-stained hairpin had become very slippery, so I found the silk used for decoration in the single room, pulled off a piece of it and tied my right hand and the hairpin together tightly.

"You want to run? No way!" I shouted. Although I was a little weak and my steps were unsteady, I still ran after him desperately.

Fortunately, he was also affected by the drug and was not running very fast. I held the hairpin tightly and finally caught up with him. I grabbed the back of his neck and pulled his clothes off. However, at this moment, the door of the box was kicked open fiercely.

With a loud bang, my hairpin was inserted into Liu Yuan's back.

When I pulled out the hairpin and prepared to stab again, I heard a sharp scream.

I turned sideways and took a closer look. It turned out to be Xiao Zhengxuan and Xu Ruoli standing at the door. They all had terrified expressions on their faces, especially Xu Ruoli, who seemed to be frightened by the bloody scene in front of her.

"Well, I understand when I see you here." I raised my hand to wipe the blood splattered on my face, the corners of my mouth slightly raised, revealing a sly smile and said.

"Come in, close the door." I said to the people outside the door while untying the silk in my hands. But because it was tied too tightly, the silk did not untie.

However, at this moment, Xu Ruoli stood firmly outside the door and shouted loudly: "Why close the door? Let everyone see how the princess is having an affair!" Her voice was obviously trembling, but her tone was firm.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhengxuan's face darkened and he angrily scolded Xu Ruoli, "Li'er!" His eyes revealed a hint of dissatisfaction and blame.

Before Xiao Zhengxuan could continue speaking, I staggered towards Xu Ruoli quickly, raised my hand and gave her a loud slap in the face, shouting, "You stealing NMLGB! It seems that the Queen didn't teach you a lesson last time!" After that, I grabbed Xu Ruoli's collar, dragged her into the house, and threw her to the ground.
