The quick travel journey of the cold heroine

On the surface, he was still happily celebrating for himself, but in his heart he didn't know how to curse him, and he could even turn around and shoot a cold arrow at his father.

If he had not been such a dissolute playboy in all these years, if he was really as good as his father as they said, would those people really let him live a good life?

Shui Zhizi lowered her eyes. She just thought Qi Yu was simple enough and would not bother with her, so she acted like this in front of Qi Yu.

She still has to wear a mask when facing others.

She had been wandering around, fighting with others for leftovers every day, and she had no idea that people had other worries besides not having enough to eat.

They don’t even know that people need to hide their joy, anger, resentment and ignorance in order to live a good life.

"Let's go, my dad is out, and I have to pretend to be a good boy again." Qi Yu's serious expression often doesn't last for a moment before he loses his composure again.

"Prince, you go first. I'll wait for you." At this time, Prince Rui was busy interacting with those people of noble status.

"Okay, if anyone messes with you, come find me right away."

Shui Zhizi was standing at the back of the crowd. Even though there were many people between them, she still caught sight of Ying Wan'er's gorgeous blood-red skirt at a glance.

That color looks so much like human blood, Shui Zhizi thought.

Li Chuan was also wearing a blood-red robe that matched Ying Wan'er, and they looked like a perfect match.

Li Chuan is so full of energy now that she almost can't remember what her simple second brother who taught her to read and write looked like.

Li Chuan didn't know what Ying Wan'er had done to make her look so depressed in such a situation. Li Chuan looked very anxious, and Shui Zhizi was really curious.

However, Prince Rui looked very majestic in front of these court officials, and even Zheng Hong forced a smile while staying beside him.

It seems that the power of King Rui, a king from a different family, should not be underestimated. I just hope that the interest he asks for is something I can afford.

Shui Zhizi was just thinking about it when she saw Prince Rui and Qi Yu looking at her.

It’s coming, the string in Shui Zhizi’s mind instantly tightened.

"Boss Shui, everyone is talking about sending Qi Yu a birthday present. I think he would most like to see the present prepared for him by your best friend, Boss Shui. I wonder if Boss Shui could satisfy my curiosity."

Shui Zhizi walked to the front of the crowd with an expressionless face, but in her heart she had already cursed Qi Yu and King Rui together.

Best friend, how could she not know that she was Qi Yu’s best friend.

Apart from going to Corning Building to get money every month, where else had Qi Yu seen her?

All the gifts from the guests were either in the hands of the servants or maids behind them, or were directly handed over to the people in the Rui Palace for registration when they entered the house.

But even though she is rich now, Shui Zhizi has no habit of keeping servants and maids. Every person she trains is to be used to the best effect.

Although Shui Zhizi has always been worried about the cooperation with King Rui, it is undeniable that without Qi Yu's help and without Qi Yu making King Rui notice her, her business journey would not have been able to go so fast and so far.

So Shui Zhizi was going to hand the gift to Qi Yu personally, so she didn't register it in the Prince Rui's Mansion, but kept it with her.

At this time, it was taken out under various looks from the crowd.

Someone in the crowd sighed, but it was unclear whether the sigh was out of envy or contempt.

The gift that Shui Zhizi gave to Qi Yu was a string of gold, yes, a string of gold.

There was a thin gold chain with five small objects the size of walnuts hanging from it.

They were a gold ingot, a gold Pixiu, a gold rabbit, a small gold sword, and one that Qi Yu couldn't recognize.

But Qi Yu's eyes were almost shining. He rushed to Shui Zhizi and took the thing in his hand, as if he was afraid that someone would snatch it from him.

"What is this?" Qi Yu asked, pointing at the last round lump he didn't recognize.

"Mantou." Shui Zhizi answered respectfully.

Qi Yu laughed so hard that her eyes almost disappeared. "No wonder you said you wanted to give me something fun and practical."

"Hehe, I will carry this thing with me from now on. I will take it out and play with it when I am bored. When my dad stops paying my monthly salary, I will just take one off and exchange it for money. It will be enough for me to spend for a while."

Shui Zhizi lamented Qi Yu's untimely intelligence. This was what she had thought when she customized this gift.

So gold chains are all detachable.

Then Shui Zhizi silently glanced at King Rui's expression. Well, it was good that he just felt disappointed with his son.

However, even if King Rui's disappointment was directed at her, Shui Zhizi could do nothing about it.

She didn't know that there was such a segment in the birthday banquets of dignitaries. If she had known, she would at least prepare a nicer box for the gift.

Instead of taking it out directly like this.

Shui Zhizi naturally felt the contemptuous looks from the crowd, but she had seen this kind of looks many times since she was a wanderer and begger and later on she had been doing business. She was used to it.

"Boss Shui is indeed ingenious. Qi Yu wasn't this happy when he received my gift."

"I am terrified. I am just throwing a brick. The purpose is to draw out the jade from you nobles."

After Shui Zhizi finished speaking, she respectfully stepped aside, trying not to attract attention.

King Rui smiled heartily and asked everyone to start showing their gifts.

As everyone's gifts were displayed one by one, Shui Zhizi realized how naive she was and how ridiculous she was.

This is Qi Yu's birthday! This is clearly an opportunity for everyone to please King Rui.

Shui Zhizi thought that this party would be used for other purposes besides celebrating Qi Yu's birthday, but Shui Zhizi did not expect that this party was for other purposes from the very beginning.

Shui Zhizi felt a little sympathy when she saw Qi Yu standing next to King Rui without even raising his head.

When her parents were still alive, they would cook two eggs for her every day they picked her up. On that day, even Li Chuan, a scholar, could not snatch the eggs from her.

But Shui Zhizi secretly hated her own mistake. She could give Qi Yu something at any time, but she didn't have many chances to satisfy King Rui.

Every time a gift was presented, there was a round of greetings, and Shui Zhizi was pushed further and further to the back of the crowd.

Shui Gardenia finally moved her legs, which had become somewhat stiff, in a place where no one could see.

When she looked up, she met Zheng Hong's half-smiley eyes, and Shui Zhizi turned her head silently.

She and Zheng Hong have cleared their ties. Zheng Hong brought herself, her elder brother and his wife, who were burned, to the capital, and tried to conceal the fact that someone in the Li family was still alive.

But he did this so that Li Chuan would be loyal to him wholeheartedly and it had nothing to do with a small figure like himself.
