Dressed as a concubine instead of a concubine

He always knew that she was different, that the capital was not suitable for her, and that leaving as soon as possible was the best option.

But then she thought of that man. Without his permission, how could Meng Xiyue escape?

When Meng Xiyue walked out of Shicuizhai, she passed by a woman in green.

The woman was tall and beautiful, with a round and full forehead and smooth facial features, making it difficult to tell whether she was a male or a female.

But with her captivating almond-shaped eyes and slightly upturned eye corners, she looks a little charming.

This charm does not make people feel vulgar, and it is an appearance that attracts you at first sight.

More importantly, she was not wearing a veil. She held her head high and faced everyone's gaze without any shyness.

Such frankness made Meng Xiyue envious.

"Miss Wang..., everyone is looking at you, you should put on your veil."

The maid beside the woman reminded in a low voice.

"No, I'm not ugly, there's nothing to be ashamed of." Nan Rongzhi frowned slightly. She had finally put on women's clothes, but she still had to wear a veil. She was unwilling to do so.

She was very satisfied with this look. Besides, she would not arouse suspicion if she entered Yuanqing Kingdom dressed like this.

I really can't stand the women of Yuanqing country. They all have to cover their faces with veils when they go out. They are not afraid of getting prickly heat in such hot weather.

It was even more feudal and backward than the Nanrong Kingdom where she lived. Fortunately, she did not travel to this country.

"Miss, just put it on." The maid Qiu'er was about to cry. She wanted to go forward to put the veil on her, but because she was not used to wearing women's clothes, she almost fell down.

Fortunately, Nan Rongzhi supported her. She had been following him as a man for so long that she had forgotten her identity as a woman.

To be honest, she also felt uncomfortable wearing this cumbersome dress.

"Just indulge yourself for one day, and change back into men's clothes tomorrow. Let's go pick out some jewelry for our mother first."

Although she doesn't like shopping in modern times, she has a best friend who loves shopping, so she still knows about these girls' things.

She heard that Shicui Zhai was the best jewelry shop, and she wanted to pick a few pieces for her mother.

"Miss, what kind of jewelry do you want to see?"

"Do you have any new hairpins?"

When the waiter saw Nan Rongzhi's attire, he knew she was not an ordinary person. He smiled happily and took out all the latest models of hairpins.

"These are all new styles that the master has just made. They are all unique. Look how unique these styles are."

"It's quite special."

Nan Rongzhi had never bought a hairpin before, but looking at these hairpins now, she found that they were somewhat similar to modern ones.

"There's even a strawberry hairpin, how cute! Qiu'er, this hairpin really suits you."

Nan Rongzhi took it and wanted to stick it into Qiuer's head.

"Miss, what is a strawberry?"

Qiu'er's words made Nan Rongzhi stunned for a moment. For a moment, she felt like her heart was about to jump out. She pointed at the hairpin and said in a trembling voice.

"This pattern is a strawberry. Haven't you seen it before?"

"No, I have never heard of it. Miss is really well-informed."

Nan Rongzhi felt as if struck by lightning, her whole body trembling uncontrollably, and she quickly looked at the waiter beside her, "Do you know this strawberry?"

"This style is new. It didn't exist before. The chef only said it was a kind of fruit. As for its name, I don't know."

"Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Qiu'er noticed that she was in a bad mood and asked quickly.

Nan Rongzhi acted as if she didn't hear it, and grabbed other guests around her and asked them if they knew strawberries. After getting a definite answer.

Suddenly he laughed out loud, "It turns out there's more than just me, there are others."

"Waiter, who is the master who designed this hairpin? I want to see him, right now?"

Nan Rongzhi's sudden madness frightened the waiter so much that he dared not speak, "This..."

"Girl, I'm the owner of the shop. You can talk to me if you have any questions."

Zhou Chengjing, who saw what happened upstairs, came down.

Nan Rongzhi glanced at him and continued, "I want to meet the master who designed this hairpin?"

"Is there anything wrong with this hairpin?"

"No problem, but the person who designed the hairpin might be an old acquaintance of mine, and I'd like to meet him."

Nan Rongzhi then made up a reason.

"Okay, Miss, please go upstairs. I'll send someone to call the master."

"Thank you."

Nan Rongzhi showed gratitude and was extremely happy. She couldn't believe that there was someone in this world who had traveled through time like her.

I don’t know if it’s a boy or a girl, or how old it is.

As she was expecting, the door was soon pushed open, and an old man with a white beard came in.

Nan Rongzhi was stunned for a moment, thinking that it was too miserable for him to be reincarnated into the body of an old man. How many years does he have left to live?

"Son."

The old man seemed not to see her and bowed directly to Zhou Chengjing.

"This is Master Cui who designed the hairpins." Zhou Chengjing introduced.

"Hello, Miss." Master Zhou then leaned slightly towards Nan Rongzhi.

Nan Rongzhi frowned at his servile appearance, "Master, did you design this hairpin?"

Master Zhou looked up and nodded, "Yes, this is strawberry."

Nan Rongzhi stood up suddenly, suppressing her impulse, "How do you know Strawberry?"

"I saw it in a miscellaneous book. I drew it because it had a strange shape. Miss, have you seen it in a book too?"

This sentence, like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguished Nan Rongzhi's excitement. "So you have never seen a real strawberry?"

"No."

"That's okay."

Nan Rongzhi looked gloomy. It turned out that she was overthinking it. Traveling through time was not such an easy thing to happen.

Someone like her is rare in a thousand years. How could there be someone like her?

"That's okay."

"Miss, where have you seen this strawberry?"

Zhou Chengjing asked with a smile, "I heard it's a kind of fruit that tastes delicious."

"It tastes good, but it's a pity we don't have it here." Nan Rongzhi was uneasy. She said a few perfunctorily, bought a few pieces of jewelry and left.

Zhou Chengjing stood on the second floor, looking at the two people going away, his eyes darkened.

"Send someone to find out the identity of that woman."

A woman with such appearance has never been seen in the capital. She must be from outside.

As for that strawberry, when Meng Xiyue first drew it, he also sent people to look for it, but no one had ever seen it.

How did this woman know this? Judging from her appearance, it seemed that the strawberry was very important.

He hesitated whether to tell Meng Xiyue about this, but then he rejected the idea.

It is better to find out the identity of that woman first. Meng Xiyue is now in Prince Qi's Mansion and her identity is sensitive. She should be careful in everything she does.

On this side, Meng Xiyue just came out of Shicui Zhai and saw Ziye standing not far away with a carriage parked beside him.

She was startled, remembering that she had made a promise yesterday but broke her promise today.
