The Regent Princess has run away again

At midnight, Xiao Qiu lit a candle and looked at Xue Zhiyu who was combing her hair in front of the dressing table and said, "Miss, the bath water is ready. Do you want to take a bath now?"

"Leave it there for now. I want to sit for a while before washing it."

"Then I'll warm the bath water for you. Just call me when you want to take a bath."

He put down the comb in his hand, looked at Xiaoqiu behind him who was still worried and ready to give her a few more words of advice, stood up and patted her shoulder, and couldn't help but joked, "Don't worry about it. You are almost the same age as me, but you are as talkative as that old woman. Go and have a rest. I can handle this by myself." After saying that, he pushed Xiaoqiu towards the door.

Xiao Qiu naturally refused and protested with a pout, "What? It's because the young lady is too worrying."

"Hahahahahahaha, you little bitch have learned to refute me? Okay, okay, at most I'll call you when I want to take a shower."

Xue Zhiyu couldn't help laughing. After pushing the little girl out of the room, she watched the person walk away, then she looked away and closed the door.

In the light of the candle, her pretty face without makeup was rosy, and her beautiful peach blossom eyes were full of worry and anxiety. Her brows were slightly furrowed, and after thinking again and again, she walked to the cabinet beside the bed and took out the hot potato.

When I looked at it carefully for the first time, it was just an ordinary ring, nothing special.

After looking at it for a while without making any sense, she put the ring on the dressing table and picked up the scroll next to it, which she had taken out from the space. It was about the making of Chinese herbal conditioning powder and some beauty creams.

Just as she was fascinated by the scene, a small stone was thrown in from the window and rolled several times on the ground before it stopped.

Xue Zhiyu was not frightened. She slowly put down the book in her hand, yawned, walked to the bed, picked up her coat and put it on her shoulders. After thinking for a while, she put the ring on the dressing table into her sleeve, then opened the door and walked out.

Sure enough, there was a man standing next to the stone table in the yard, still wearing the silver mask. His handsome lips were slightly raised under the mask, and his eyes were extremely charming under the moonlight. He was wearing a silver-gray brocade robe, which made his figure look more upright.

Xue Zhiyu turned her head quickly and said, "Form is emptiness, emptiness is form." She was almost stunned.

After mumbling a few words, he walked over and said, "I brought you what you wanted, and you have to fulfill your promise, otherwise don't even think about working with me in the future."

Nangong Ye looked at the woman in front of him with amusement, and couldn't help but want to tease her, "What if I don't keep my promise?"

"Then we will terminate the cooperation. You will be in trouble if we see you again. If you want to maintain a long-term cooperation, it is better to treat me with sincerity. Besides, I think you are not the kind of person who would do such a thing."

This was both a threat and a compliment. Nangong Ye couldn't help but laugh, "Hahahahahahahaha, Miss Xue is really good at talking. Now that you've said that, wouldn't it be unfair to you if I don't keep my promise?"

Xue Zhiyu waved her hands impatiently. She didn't like the flattery. She took out her ring from her sleeve and handed it over. "If that's the case, take this hot potato away quickly to avoid more trouble."

After Nangong Ye took it, he looked at it under the moonlight. After confirming that it was correct, he put it away. Looking at the sleepy person in front of him, he leaned over and rubbed her head. "Thank you for your hard work. I hope we can continue to cooperate."

Xue Zhiyu rolled her eyes unceremoniously, "I suddenly feel like I'm losing out. In addition to protecting my shop, you have to agree to one request of mine."

"You say it and I listen."

The implication is that even if you say it, you may not agree to it, you are just listening.

"Don't worry, this will be no problem for you. I haven't thought about it yet, so just leave it as it is and you will owe it to me."

Xue Zhiyu yawned again, she was so sleepy that tears came out, she thought for a moment and spoke in a soft voice.

"Go to bed early. Come back if you need to cooperate with Miss Xue next time."

Xue Zhiyu responded perfunctorily a few times, and without caring when Nangong Ye would leave, she turned around and left, leaving Nangong Ye alone in the yard.

It was not until the door was closed that Nangong Ye came to his senses. He felt both amused and helpless. This girl trusted him too much. He shook his head and left in a few jumps.

........

The next morning.

Maybe because the hot potato had been given away, Xue Zhiyu slept very soundly. After breakfast, she was planning to go and see what was going on at the charity hall. After all, Madam Li didn't go there to help her look after the shop every day, so she still had to manage it herself.

"Miss, a dancer from the Western Regions came to visit and said she was looking for you."

Xiaoqiu put the sugar water she brought from the kitchen on the table, then took a few steps back and said.

"Okay, got it. I'll be there in a minute," Xue Zhiyu responded. She didn't seem to be in a hurry. She picked up the sugar water and started eating it mouthful by mouthful.

I have to say that the chef in the Prime Minister's Mansion is really good. The syrup is not too sweet, just the right sweetness.

After finishing the meal, he took the embroidered handkerchief handed over by Xiao Qiu and wiped his mouth, then stood up and walked towards the door, "Let's go, don't keep this distinguished guest waiting for too long."

Xiaoqiu, who was following behind, was full of helplessness. The young lady had made people wait for quite a while, and it seemed a little too long for her to say these things now.

Although I don't know what the relationship is between this Western dancer and Concubine Zhao, it's still better to be vigilant. After all, there were so many young ladies that day, how could they let me take the dancer to familiarize myself with Yan Country? What's more, she is not good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy or painting, and it would be ridiculous if people told others about it.

When they arrived at the front hall, except for Xue Yulu who had a sour face and obvious disgust on her face, everyone else maintained a smile.

There was only one dancer from the Western Region sitting on the left side of the main seat. Her dress was still full of Western style. Her emerald green eyes were full of charm, like a lazy Persian cat. The two golden jade earrings were very beautiful.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting. I'll ask the maid to prepare our Central Plains refreshments. Let's enjoy them together later."

Xue Zhiyu's voice came from the door. The Western Region dancer looked over, stood up and bowed like the people of the Central Plains. "Then I'd better obey your command."

Aunt Zhou nodded with satisfaction and said, "A guest is a guest. It was the Imperial Concubine's idea. As the host, we will definitely take you for a good stroll."

"Okay, thank you. Just call me Lucy. Or I also have a name from the Central Plains, so you can call me Bai Nolan."

As soon as the voice fell, Xue Yulu, who was sitting next to Xue Yumei, looked disdainful and whispered, "She's just a barbarian dancer, why is she so particular?"

"Has Miss Bai found a place to stay?"

"Well, I found an inn to stay in before I came here. Thank you for your concern, Princess."

Xue Zhiyu sat next to Bai Nuolan. She had to admit that Bai Nuolan had a high-end face no matter where she was. With her delicate facial features, graceful jawline, and skin as white as mutton fat, it was no wonder that she was the top dancer in the Western Regions.

When Bai Nuolan came in, he looked at the family calmly, and he understood a little bit.

Xue Yumei stood up at this time, walked to Bai Nuolan, a gentle smile appeared on her face, and she took out a health talisman from her sleeve and handed it over, "Miss Bai, this is the health talisman I asked for in Fanjing Temple, I wish you peace and health."

In response to Xue Yumei's obvious flattery, Bai Nuolan put down the teacup in his hand and took the health talisman, "Thank you Miss Xue for your kindness. I also brought a hand gesture from our Western Regions. I hope Miss Xue likes it."

After hanging the health charm on the belt, he took out a silver chain dotted with sapphires and agates, and a string of diamonds hung at the end of the bracelet.

Xue Yulu, who was sitting opposite, suddenly had her eyes light up when she saw the bracelet. The style of the bracelet was really beautiful, and it was worthy of her status.

"Miss Bai, you are so polite."

Bai Nuolan smiled and said nothing, then turned to Xue Zhiyu and said, "Princess, can you take me to visit your Yan Country?"

"Happy to accompany you."

The two of them left the house, and outside, a woman dressed in Western clothes trotted over.

As she ran, the bells on her feet made a pleasant sound, attracting the surrounding vendors to look over.

The woman had numerous small braids and a bright appearance that looked very comfortable. Unlike Bai Nuolan's emerald green eyes, the woman had a pair of amber eyes that sparkled like glass under the gaze.

She trotted up to Bai Nuolan and spoke a language she couldn't understand. Her bright face was full of excitement and joy. She pointed at the vendors, as if she was sharing something.

Bai Nuolan knocked on the woman's head helplessly and said in stiff Chinese, "Xianxian, speak Chinese, and this is Princess Kangle."

The woman named Xianxian stuck out her tongue and nodded at Xue Zhiyu. After thinking for a moment, she bowed to her and then looked at Bai Nuolan and said in a stiff voice, "Nuolan, the things sold here are very interesting. They are much more interesting than those so-called Central Plains toys sold in our Western Regions."

"Is this Miss Xianxian's first time in Yan Country?"

Xue Zhiyu had a good first impression of this lively woman and couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, princess. This is the first time for Nolan and I to visit Yan Country. We are sorry to trouble you during this period of time." Kanan looked at Xue Zhiyu, thinking that as a princess, she should not talk much with dancers like them. However, the princess did not look down on them, and her tone showed a little more favor towards her.

"Let's go. We won't take the carriage today. I'll take you around here," Xue Zhiyu said, and then she took Xiaoqiu and walked ahead.

It was a very busy place at this time. The vendors were hawking their wares with all their might and from time to time one could hear bargaining. It seemed that a new shop had opened in front and there was a constant stream of customers coming and going.

"That green tea cake is really delicious. I almost couldn't buy it just now."

"That's right, but it just opened today, so I guess we'll have some for sale this afternoon."

"Then let's come back to buy it this afternoon."

Hearing the passing ladies say this, not to mention Kankan who had been craving for it for a long time, Xue Zhiyu was also a little curious about the difference between this green tea cake and the ones she ate in the real world. Bai Nuolan still looked indifferent, but her eyes were always focused on the light purple figure in front of her. There was a flash of complexity in her emerald green eyes, and then she regained her calmness, as if it was just an illusion.

Xianxian had already run to the back to line up, and was waving happily at Bai Nuolan, motioning her to come over.

Xue Zhiyu was keeping an eye on the people who had already bought green tea cakes. She looked at the cakes in the oil paper bag. Although they looked somewhat similar to the ones she bought in the real world, they were more exquisite. Suddenly, a business opportunity came to her mind.

After all, she has not forgotten that her goal in life is to make money!

Fortunately, the last two pieces of green tea cakes were bought by Kankan. She was so happy that she ate them in small bites as if they were some treasure, which made Xue Zhiyu laugh.

Maybe it was because their outfits were too dazzling, or maybe it was because Bai Nuolan was too dazzling. Xue Zhiyu felt a little uncomfortable with all the gazes coming at her along the way. She turned around and looked at what the two were wearing. This was indeed a problem. She didn't want to be the focus all day.

"Miss Bai, have you ever worn Yan Country clothing?"

Bai Nuolan listened and thought about it carefully, then shook his head and said with a little regret, "I had one before, but it was burned because of a fire, and I didn't have time to wear it."

Qianqian looked at Xue Zhiyu from the side, her amber eyes filled with excitement, "Is this the same thing you are wearing, Princess? Can I wear it?"

"婠婠."

Receiving Bai Nuolan's slightly unhappy expression, Kanan curled her lips and said nothing more. That aggrieved little expression was really funny.

"Let's go, I'll show you the costumes of our Yan Country."

When she heard that Xue Zhiyu was going to take them over, Kanan wanted to jump up several times. She restrained herself after receiving a warning from Bai Nuolan's eyes, but she still couldn't help but walk several steps faster.
