The Regent Princess has run away again
Chapter 51: Invitation to the Palace
When they arrived at the private room of Sixi Building, Xue Zhiyu asked Xiaoqiu to sit down and accompany her. Xiaoqiu couldn't persuade her, so she had to sit down obediently. After sitting down, she looked towards the door carefully.
"Don't worry, Xiaoqiu. I will seal the mouth of anyone who dares to talk nonsense," Xue Zhiyu smiled with satisfaction when she saw her sitting down.
Just as the two were enjoying their pastries, the door that had been closed was pushed open. A woman in green clothes didn't think there was anything wrong with what she did. When she saw the people sitting inside, she turned around and said to the waiter who followed behind her, "What's wrong with you? Don't you know this is the private room I usually use? Why are you giving seats to these unscrupulous people?!"
The waiter kept apologizing behind him, "I'm sorry, the private rooms here are first come first served, there is no rule on who can take them, how about I arrange another room for you?"
The woman frowned, looking displeased. The maid behind her stepped forward and pushed Xiao Qiu without saying a word, "How dare a mere maid sit down? How shameless."
Xiao Qiu was pushed to the ground. When she heard what the maid said, she immediately got angry. "You are so rude. What does it have to do with you whether I sit or not? Besides, this is my lady. Who do you think you are?"
Xue Zhiyu was somewhat amused by Xiaoqiu's words, but she didn't say anything more and continued to drink the tea in her hand. After all, this was the new tea from Sixilou, and it really lived up to her expectations.
"You!! You are so sharp-tongued. Do you know that my young lady is a relative of the Minister of Revenue? If you are sensible, give up the private room immediately!"
When she heard that it was the Minister of Revenue, Xue Zhiyu's eyes showed a hint of helplessness. Why was he from the Zhao family again? It seemed that their horoscopes were not compatible. However, she also disliked them.
"So you're a relative of the Minister of Revenue. I'm so disrespectful," Xue Zhiyu said, but she didn't even look at the master and servant, and continued to drink her tea.
The woman couldn't hold it in any longer and said arrogantly, "Then why don't you get out of here right away and don't dirty my room."
Xue Zhiyu put down the teacup and rubbed her ears. Damn it, this person must be a high-pitched singer. Why is he yelling so loudly? She is not deaf.
"Tsk, miss, do you know that your loud voice is no different from that street shrew? Besides, the waiter said that this private room is first come first served, and there is no engraving of your name. Did you forget to bring your brain when you went out?"
The woman was so angry that her ears couldn't get any redder. She stepped forward and was about to slap Xue Zhiyu, but Xue Zhiyu grabbed her wrist, twisted her backhand and pushed her to the ground, "I've made it very clear, whether you are a member of the Zhao family or a dog, get out."
At that moment, the woman felt as if the devil was calling for her life. She felt as if she was in an ice cellar and couldn't stop shaking. She didn't care about the pain of her knees being rubbed by the floor and said, "Okay...Okay, I'll go now..."
"Hmph, then get out of here right now," Xue Zhiyu snorted coldly, let go of the hand that was holding the woman's wrist, and picked up the handkerchief beside her as if she had touched something dirty.
The woman left the private room angrily with the maid who followed her. Although she was unwilling to leave, she was afraid that if she didn't leave, who knows what the crazy woman would do. She would ask her uncle to help her vent her anger and let that woman be so arrogant.
The waiter who was standing outside the door came to his senses, and hurried forward to close the door for Xue Zhiyu. Then he disappeared in a flash as if he was on a whirlwind of speed.
Xiao Qiu stood up from the ground and looked at Xue Zhiyu with admiration. Oh my God, how could her young lady be so cool.
"Xiao Qiu, what are you looking at?" Xue Zhiyu found it a little funny. This girl was so interesting.
"Miss, you are much more courageous than before. You were always bullied by the Second Miss and the others, but you never resisted. Now you finally resist," she said, and she immediately felt very relieved, as if her own young lady had grown up.
Xue Zhiyu sat down again, and was a little amused when she heard Xiaoqiu say that.
On the other side, the woman went up to the third floor and knocked on the door of the private room in the middle. After hearing the voice inside, she pushed the door open and walked in.
As soon as she entered, the woman seemed to have found someone to complain to. She sat down and said angrily, "Han Ming, I have always used the private room on the second floor, but this time it was occupied by a crazy woman. She even hurt me and said that no matter if you are from the Zhao family or a dog, you have to get out of here. Don't you think this is infuriating!"
Zhao Hanming put down the teacup in his hand, looked at the angry woman, frowned, and asked, "Oh? Who is so bold as to curse my Zhao family?"
"Yes, it's really bold!"
Just then, the waiter came in with cakes and put them on the table, preparing to leave when Zhao Hanming said, "Wait a minute, do you know which lady is sitting opposite me on the second floor? I just happen to want to get to know her."
"You mean the lady on the second floor? She is the third lady of the Xue Mansion. Miss, do you need me to pass on a message for you?"
"No need, I'll go down and find her in a moment."
The waiter then took the tray and walked out.
After everyone left, Zhao Hanming narrowed his eyes. It was really a narrow road for enemies to meet. It was that little bitch. He even met her when he came to drink tea. It was so unlucky.
Seeing Zhao Hanming's face was a little ugly, Xie Lan thought for a moment and said, "Hanming, do you know this Third Miss?"
"She is not worthy of my knowing. If it weren't for Yumei, I wouldn't even look at her. What a bitch, what a bastard. I don't know what seductive tricks she used to seduce my brother's soul." When he said this, Zhao Hanming clenched the hands hidden under his sleeves, his eyes full of undisguised hatred.
Xie Lan felt even more disgusted when he heard this. Then, as if he had thought of something, the corner of his mouth slightly raised, and he leaned over to say a few words to Zhao Hanming.
“Is there such a good thing?”
"That's right, let's just wait and see what happens," Xie Lan smiled obscurely and said nothing more.
........
The night gradually darkened, and the moon like a silver plate hung high in the sky, and the bright moonlight sprinkled on the bustling streets. The hawking sounds on the streets came one after another, and many businesses had already hung up lanterns. From a distance, the small spots of light decorated the city, making it even more prosperous.
After they paid the bill and walked out of Sixi Tower, Xue Zhiyu looked around as if she had discovered a new world. Xiaoqiu was so scared that she dared not to be distracted and could only follow her closely.
"Don't miss it if you pass by. This is a Western telescope that can see thousands of miles away."
Hearing that it was a telescope, Xue Zhiyu immediately became interested. She didn't expect there would be Western stuff here, so she quickly walked towards the stall.
There are not only telescopes on the stalls, but also other rare gadgets.
When the stall owner saw someone coming, he took out the telescope and started to sell it, "Miss, do you like this telescope? It is unique. I guarantee that I am the only one that sells it. Although it is a little expensive, it is definitely worth the price."
Xue Zhiyu took a look and saw that it was just an old telescope. It was not a rare thing for her. She was just a little curious as to why there was a telescope here.
"Boss, why do you have telescopes for sale?"
When the stall owner heard this, he thought she was trying to compete with him for business, and his tone immediately became impatient, "Miss, if you want to buy, buy it, if you don't want to buy, forget it, why are you blocking my business?"
Xiao Qiu was also a little annoyed, "What's wrong with you, my lady..."
"Xiaoqiu."
When Xiao Qiu received Xue Zhiyu's gaze, she lowered her mouth, took a step back and said nothing more.
"Boss, I'm not here to compete with you for business. I'm just curious about how you got this telescope."
The stall owner looked Xue Zhiyu up and down. She didn't look fake in her clothes. She must be a lady from a wealthy family. He hesitated for a while before saying, "This was brought back by my relative when he went out to sea for business."
"I see... Then how much do you sell it for?"
"My telescope costs fifteen taels of silver and I can teach you how to use it, young lady."
When Xiaoqiu heard the price, she was so scared that she almost jumped up. It was too expensive. Although the young lady had her own small treasury, the aunt only gave her twenty taels of silver every month, and this month hasn't even passed yet.
"Miss, do you really want to buy it?"
Seeing Xiaoqiu's expression of almost crying, Xue Zhiyu smiled, then looked at the boss, "I'll only give eight taels of silver. If you don't sell it, I'll leave. After all, whether you can use this telescope is another matter. The key is that this price is really prohibitive."
Seeing that the boss didn't reply for a long time, Xue Zhiyu really turned around and was about to leave. Just when Xue Zhiyu had walked several steps away, the stall owner came to his senses, gritted his teeth and chased after her, saying, "Okay, then eight taels of silver."
Xue Zhiyu stopped and thought about it awkwardly, "I suddenly feel that it is not necessary anymore, so let's just forget it."
"No, no, no. My telescope has many uses. For example, if you need to see clearly who is in the distance, you can use it. You don't have to go over to see who it is in person, and you can avoid the embarrassment of recognizing the wrong person. At most... I will sell it to you for five taels of silver, and I can't reduce the price any further," the boss said as he demonstrated the telescope.
Xue Zhiyu raised her eyebrows and pretended to be helpless, "Well, okay, Xiaoqiu will pay."
Xiaoqiu took out five taels of silver from her silver bag and handed it over. After the boss took it, he gave the telescope to Xue Zhiyu and turned around and quickly walked back to the stall.
After the boss left, Xiaoqiu discovered that her young lady was not only cool but also smart. She actually bought back the fifteen taels of silver with only five taels of silver. It was really amazing.
Xue Zhiyu looked at the telescope in her hand, but was not very surprised. She picked it up, took a look, and then stopped looking.
The two of them walked around for a while, but didn't buy anything else, so they went home.
"Xiao Qiu, help me prepare the bath water," Xue Zhiyu put down the telescope in her hand, leaned against the door frame and yawned.
"Okay, miss."
Not long after Xiaoqiu left, Xue Yumei's personal maid walked into the yard and bowed to Xue Zhiyu, "Miss San, Concubine Zhao's birthday is in a few days, and Miss Yi wants to invite you to go with her."
Xue Zhiyu raised her eyebrows meaningfully. Thinking of what Ye had said to her, she began to doubt whether he had the ability to predict the future. He had guessed all this.
"Okay, tell my elder sister and ask her to take care of it when the time comes."
After sending the maid away, Xue Zhiyu sat in the middle of the yard and began to think about her birthday in a few days. When she thought about entering the palace, she was excited but also a little nervous, after all, she had a mission this time.
If she had known about Jiuyou's matter at the beginning, she didn't know whether 007 was trying to trick her or not. She wouldn't have been able to help her at all. Instead, she would have helped them herself.
After sitting for a while, Xiaoqiu prepared the bath water. Xue Zhiyu stood up, stretched her shins, and went in to take a bath with her underwear.
At Yanan Garden, the maid came back to report that she had informed the Third Miss. Xue Yumei then waved her hand to let the maid go first. Looking at the flickering candlelight, she looked a little dazed, not knowing what she was thinking. After a while, she came back to her senses, stroking the invitation in her hand, muttering to herself, "This year's birthday will definitely be more interesting than previous years. It's really exciting."
