The Regent Princess has run away again

Jun Xian looked at the person in the bronze mirror and clenched his fists with his hands hanging by his sides.

It’s hard to imagine how he ended up like this after such a wise life. Why didn’t he realize that this weak woman could be so cruel?

He slowly unclenched his clenched fist and reached out to check for his pulse.

Due to the long-term use of drugs to suppress the internal strength in his body, his body is no longer as good as before.

After taking a deep breath and pressing a few acupoints on his chest, Jun Xian gradually regained his composure. He closed his eyes and let his consciousness explore his body.

After a cup of tea, some sweat appeared on his forehead.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes abruptly and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth uncontrollably. The pain came clearly from his chest. Jun Xian had no choice but to pick up the handkerchief on the table to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, shaking his head in self-mockery.

After he tidied up the things on the table, he turned back into an ordinary man, then closed the door and walked out of the yard.

When he arrived at the charity hall, the shopkeeper thought he was here to get medicine, so he walked over to him politely and asked, "Sir, are you here to get medicine?"

Jun Xian shook his head, looked around, walked to a piece of paper and pen, picked it up and wrote a few words: Where is your lady?

The shopkeeper saw that the person was looking for the young lady and smiled apologetically, "I'm really sorry, the young lady just left not long ago. If you have anything to say, please tell me and I will pass it on to the young lady."

Jun Xian thought about it and continued writing: No need to bother.

After writing, he put down his pen and turned to walk to the door.

"Wait a minute, if you are anxious to see Miss, you might as well go to Zhaoyuan Street. Miss has a shop there that has not yet opened. It will be easy to find."

Jun Xian paused, turned around, nodded to the shopkeeper, and walked out of the store.

Sure enough, there was only one shop on Zhaoyuan Street that was empty. At this time, the door was slightly open. Jun Xian knocked on the door before pushing it open and going in.

Xue Zhiyu was still considering what business to start when she heard a knock on the door. She turned around and saw the man she had rescued this morning.

"Jun Xian, why are you here?" After saying that, he asked Xiao Qiu beside him to pass him the paper and the pen he took out from the space.

Jun Xian took it and looked at the strange pen curiously, not knowing how to start.

"Just write it directly," Xue Zhiyu took it and demonstrated writing, then handed it over again. Jun Xian nodded as if he understood.

Write down what you want on paper as concisely as possible.

Xue Zhiyu frowned and reached out to feel his pulse. As expected, the poison backfired due to the forced use of the Qi. She couldn't help but curse, "You've made yourself look like this in less than a day. If you continue to use the Qi, even the Great Luo Immortal can't save you."

As she spoke, she took the pen from his hand and wrote a prescription for him, "Take this and go get the medicine. Drink it twice a day for about three days. It will first clear the poison in your body, and then you can use your internal energy to recover."

Looking at Jun Xian's receding figure, Xue Zhiyu's beautiful peach blossom eyes sparkled. She didn't expect that this little servant could actually fight. It seemed that she had picked up a treasure.

Thinking of this, my mood couldn't help but become better, and an idea suddenly appeared in my mind.

"Xiao Qiu, let's go to Youlai Inn."

Youlai Inn is the first choice for most foreigners, both in terms of environment and food.

......

The carriage arrived at the door of Youlai Inn. Xue Zhiyu got off the carriage with the help of Xiaoqiu. When she walked into the hall, she heard languages ​​from different countries.

"I want to look for Miss Bai Nolan, please let me know."

The shopkeeper raised his head and glanced at the person who came. He flipped through the manual next to him and pointed to one of the names. "Miss Bai is in the room by the window on the third floor."

"Okay, thank you for your help," Xue Zhiyu thanked him and took Xiaoqiu to the stairs.

In the room on the third floor, Bai Nuolan calmly flipped through a book in his hand. He looked as beautiful and elegant as the person in the painting. He was still wearing the clothes of the Central Plains, but it did not seem out of place.

Xianxian sat on the bed, her feet dangling, and she supported her chin with one hand, playing with her hair out of boredom. Looking at Bai Nuolan, she couldn't help but sigh, "Nuolan, why don't we go out for a walk? We haven't been out for a long time."

Bai Nuolan ignored her and continued to read the book in his hand, but his heart was in turmoil.

Concubine Zhao of Zhongyuan finally lost her patience. Although they were just cooperating, she helped her find that person, and she only needed to get rid of this princess. But in her opinion, this princess did not have any internal strength and posed no threat. What did Concubine Zhao mean by this?

People from the Central Plains have always been cunning, and especially when she met this person for the first time, she knew that she would not be easy to deal with.

"Is Miss Bai here? I'm Xue Zhiyu from the Xue Mansion."

"Princess, please come in," Bai Nuolan put down the book in his hand, stopped the overjoyed Kanan with a look, and then stood up to greet her.

Xue Zhiyu opened the door and looked around. The room was very elegant and looked nice. "I want to invite Miss Bai to have dinner at my house tonight. This is a delicacy that you can't eat anywhere else."

When Xianxian heard this, she forgot about Bai Nuolan's warning to her. She got off the bed and walked over quickly. She looked at Xue Zhiyu with sparkling amber eyes, "Princess, is that something delicious you were talking about?"

Kanan's greatest characteristic and biggest hobby is eating. When she was in the Western Regions, she made a fool of herself because she ate too much, which forced her to go on a diet for a period of time afterwards. Now that she is in the Central Plains, of course she has to eat to her heart's content.

Xue Zhiyu pretended to be mysterious and thought about it, then said vaguely, "Well, if Miss Qianqian wants to know, just come to my house at twilight hour to find me."

It was still a few hours before the You hour, and after chatting for a few words, Xue Zhiyu had to say goodbye and leave.

Xiao Qiu asked in confusion, "Miss, are we going to prepare something?"

"Prepare the spices and ingredients. We will cook hot pot in the yard tonight."

Thinking of the aroma of hot pot, Xue Zhiyu began to feel greedy, but she didn't know if she could recreate that taste.

"Peppercorns, star anise, cinnamon, cardamom, dried chili peppers..." Xue Zhiyu bought some of each. She looked around and saw nothing she wanted. She looked at the man who was busy weighing things outside and asked, "Do you know where to buy butter?"

The man finished his work and was stunned for a moment, seemingly not reacting to what she said. Then he patted his head, a little confused, "This is something that only people in the Western Regions sell. You can see it at the end of this street. It's a small shop."

"okay, thank you."

Sure enough, when I was almost at the end of the street, I saw a very small shop. The owner inside was wearing Western clothing and was talking to another man who was also dressed in Western clothing.

I could feel the coolness of the freezer before I even walked in. There was a huge freezer in the store, and I didn't know what was used, but it didn't look like it was melting at all.

The boss who was originally talking saw someone coming in, and hurriedly greeted her warmly, saying in stiff Chinese, "Excuse me, miss, what would you like to buy?"

"I heard you have butter here?"

The boss nodded, then asked in confusion, "Miss, what are you doing with butter? As far as I know, you people from the Central Plains are not used to eating butter."

"I use it to cook," Xue Zhiyu didn't explain much.

"Is it something to eat?" When the boss heard that it was for cooking, he couldn't help but look at the Central Plains woman in front of him again.

"If the boss is curious, please come to the Xue Mansion tonight at 4 p.m. and you will know then."

"Okay, okay, that's too much of a bother."

Xue Zhiyu smiled and continued, "However, if the boss thinks it's good, then cooperate with me. You are responsible for providing me with butter. After all, in the Central Plains, there is definitely no one else who can do this except me."

The boss hesitated. Butter was indeed not widely used in the Central Plains. The main reason was that people did not know how to use it. However, this lady knew how to cook, so why not cooperate with her?

Thinking of this, the boss nodded and agreed.

Xue Zhiyu walked to the freezer and saw several pieces of butter inside. She picked up a piece and smelled it, and a strong fragrance filled her nose.

"This butter is a good thing. One pound costs at least fifty taels of silver," the boss picked up an abacus, walked to the side and said.

"This is too expensive. You know that almost no one buys butter in the Central Plains. I guess I am the first one to come in and buy it."

The boss's hand holding the abacus trembled. Although what the Central Plains woman said was right, it was not easy to find someone willing to take over his butter, so of course he had to make some money.

"How much do you think is appropriate, young lady?"

"Thirty taels of silver."

"Miss, my butter was shipped from the Western Regions. I don't know how much ice was wasted before it got here. I really didn't make any profit from these thirty taels of silver," the boss said pitifully, as if he had really suffered a huge loss.

Xue Zhiyu rolled her eyes in annoyance. She was being treated as a fool. Although the transportation along the way was indeed a bit difficult, but with all the expenses included, it would only be twenty-five taels of silver at most, and she would give five taels more.

"Since the boss is not sincere, you can keep the butter for yourself. I can use it or not," he said, and walked out of the store with Xiao Qiu without any reluctance, leaving in a cool manner.

The boss looked at the person walking further and further away, then glanced at the butter beside him, stamped his feet and hurriedly chased after her, saying with a smile as he walked, "Miss, I am kidding, thirty taels of silver."

Xue Zhiyu finally stopped walking and glanced at the boss. "Then please send someone to deliver it to Xue Mansion later. Just say it's the Third Miss's stuff, and someone will pay you."

How could the boss dare to say no? He nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Xiao Qiu held the spices she bought in her arms, glanced at the boss who was still watching her from behind, and asked in a low voice, "Miss, why didn't you let me pay just now? What if there's no one to pay when he goes to your house?"

Xue Zhiyu poked her forehead helplessly, "It's not Madam Xue who is in charge of the household affairs now, and she wouldn't be stupid enough to reach out to the account office and do something wrong at this time."

Xiaoqiu seemed a little uneasy, hesitating and not knowing how to start the conversation.

"With your young lady here, no one will bully you."

"If Miss had thought this way before, she wouldn't have been bullied by the Second Miss all the time. It's not easy for Miss to be where she is today," Xiao Qiu said with some emotion after hearing what Xue Zhiyu said.

The two returned to Xue's house, and the servant just happened to pay for the butter.

"Miss San, here's what you want."

"Well," he took the butter and went back to his yard without stopping.

It is convenient to have your own small kitchen. I stir-fried the spices and butter that Xiaoqiu brought back, and then added water. Considering that people who like spicy food don’t need too much, I didn’t add too much dried chili.

Fortunately, the weather is still relatively hot now. If it were a little colder, we would have to consider how to keep the temperature constant.

After the base of the pot is prepared, various vegetables and meat are put aside and prepared to be eaten in the evening.

After a while, she smelled a spicy aroma, which made Xue Zhiyu drool.

"I am worthy of being a genius," Xue Zhiyu looked at the soup base she had cooked with pride. If it were possible, her nose would almost be turned up to the sky.

After getting everything ready, Xue Zhiyu stretched her back and turned to look at Xiaoqiu who was still busy in the small kitchen. "I'm going to catch up on some sleep first. You can wake me up then."

"Okay young lady, go and get some rest."

Xue Zhiyu didn't say much, turned around and went into the bedroom, changed her shoes, and prepared to go to sleep.

In a dream.

She seemed to be in the middle of it, and not far away she seemed to see a man and a woman who seemed to be talking about something, and the woman's face was filled with a happy smile.

But she still couldn't see the man's face clearly, but she could clearly feel the man's love for her.
