The Regent Princess has run away again

The morning market on Zhaoyuan Street is as lively as ever, with constant shouts of hawkers and the air filled with the aroma of food.

"Fresh meat buns are out of the oven, only five cents each."

"Selling oil cakes, don't miss it if you pass by."

"Sir, please come in. There are two of you in the lobby!"

The waiter came out with a white towel draped over his shoulders and his face full of enthusiasm. He welcomed Xue Zhiyu and the other person in, then shouted something from inside and went on to greet other people.

Xue Zhiyu was very satisfied with the waiter's service, which was exactly the standard she had in mind for recruiting people.

"Miss, why do you suddenly want to eat breakfast outside?"

Xiaoqiu sat opposite, not quite understanding the young lady's thoughts. Ever since the young lady woke up after hitting her head against the wall, she became even more confused.

"If you eat too much in the mansion, you will get tired of it. It's nice to come out and eat something different from time to time."

After Xue Zhiyu finished speaking, she said to the waiter who was walking around the tables, "Give me two fried cakes, four pancakes, and two bowls of soy milk."

"Good Le!"

After the two of them had eaten and drunk their fill, Xue Zhiyu felt full of energy, as if she had thought of something. She looked at Xiao Qiu beside her and asked, "Do you know where there is a place that specializes in firing ceramics?"

"Except for the Imperial Kiln, which is only open to the public, Deyun Kiln is the most famous porcelain factory besides the Imperial Kiln. It is near the West City Gate and is quite a distance from Zhaoyuan Street. Miss, do you want to go there?"

"Well, I want to buy a batch of ceramic plates and bowls to be used in the new store."

"Should we hire a carriage now or take the palace carriage?"

Xue Zhiyu refused without thinking: "Let's not make this too public. Let's just hire a carriage."

Just after the two of them finished discussing, they heard a familiar voice coming from behind.

"Princess! It's really you!"

Wanwan shouted and waved at Xue Zhiyu. The women who were choosing headwear looked over. When they saw her actions, their eyes were full of disgust and contempt.

He is really a barbarian, so ignorant of etiquette.

Bai Nuolan glanced at her, and Wanwan had no choice but to put her hand away awkwardly, and bowed slightly with her knees slightly bent.

"Greetings, Your Excellency."

Bai Nuolan also bowed and spoke, a barely perceptible look of inquiry flashing across his emerald green eyes.

Xue Zhiyu raised her hand slightly, indicating that they didn't need to be polite: "Have you had breakfast?"

"I have used it. Thank you for your concern. Where are you going?"

"Let's go to Deyun Kiln. Miss Bai has been in Yan Country for a short time. I should take you to visit the beautiful scenery of Yan Country, but unfortunately I have been a bit busy these days. I really can't live up to the instructions of the Royal Concubine."

Wanwan couldn't hold it in any longer and said, "It's okay, it's okay. We can go around by ourselves anyway. Princess, can you take us to that Deyun Kiln?"

Bai Nuolan glared at her in dissatisfaction. Although she also wanted to go, how could she say that?

Wanwan didn't think as much as Bai Nuolan did. She just simply wanted the princess to take them out for a walk.

"Yes, but I must hire a carriage first."

"In fact, we also have a carriage. It is in the open space behind the Youlai Inn. If the princess doesn't mind, you can share one with us."

"That's good. Actually, it's Miss Bai who has helped me. Otherwise, if Xiaoqiu were to hire someone, I don't know how long she would have to wait."

When Xiaoqiu heard the young lady suddenly mention her, her face suddenly turned red, and she couldn't help but say, "Young lady, you are making fun of me again!"

"Hahahaha, are you not allowed to tell the truth?"

Bai Nuolan looked at the way the master and servant got along, and a smile appeared in his eyes. Then, as if he thought of something, his bright eyes dimmed a lot in an instant.

However, she will definitely find out the relationship between the princess and the leader.

After they arrived at Youlai Inn, they got on Bai Nuolan's carriage. Xue Zhiyu couldn't help but sigh that the decoration of the carriage was full of exotic style, and it was low-key yet luxurious.

The cups on the tea table were all made of milky white glass, and the brown silk curtain was tied to the side with a jade chain.

Soon after they sat down in the carriage, an indescribable fragrance filled the entire carriage. It had the elegant scent of tea mixed with a fruity aroma.

Xue Zhiyu saw the bouquet of flowers blooming quietly on the tea table. The scarlet color was as eye-catching as a woman's lip balm. The flower looked very strange, with no leaves, only layers of petals blooming one by one.

"This is the mandshurica flower, which is also our religious flower."

As if she saw her confusion, Bai Nuolan started to explain. After that, she stopped talking and looked towards the shops outside the window.

"The scent of this flower is really complex. It's not like ordinary flowers that only have a single scent. The tea scent and fruit scent are not abrupt at all in it."

When Wanwan heard this, she said proudly, "Of course, this was cultivated by our leader himself. It is unique and cannot be seen anywhere else."

"Did your leader come up with this name as well?"

"Well, when we first discovered this flower species, it didn't have a name, so the leader gave it a name. We all thought it sounded nice, so we wrote it down."

Perhaps because the atmosphere of the conversation was good, Xue Zhiyu asked out loud, "Then there are a lot of people in your sect, right?"

Wanwan subconsciously looked at Bai Nuolan, and seeing that the other party had no intention of stopping her, she continued, "We do have a lot of people in our sect. The leader has four great guardian gods, Nuolan is one of them, and I am just one of Nuolan's maids."

In addition to these, Wanwan also gave a brief account of the situation in the sect. The more Xue Zhiyu listened, the more frightened she became. But at the same time, she was somewhat curious about the other three guardian gods who had not yet appeared.

It seems that there are hidden dragons and tigers in the Mandala Sect. After all, even the royal family of the Western Regions is afraid of its existence, and it can even be said that it suppresses the royal family.

The carriage soon arrived at the suburbs, and not far away was the West City Gate, and outside the West City Gate was Li City.

Along the way, we occasionally saw a few families going out to farm. They were wearing straw hats, facing the loess and working with their backs to the sky. Although it was very hard work, their faces were filled with happy smiles.

Xue Zhiyu thought secretly, it seems that this emperor is really good to his people. If he was like those tyrants in history books, the people would probably be filled with sorrow.

The carriage stopped in front of Deyun Kiln. After several people got off the carriage, they found that the kiln factory was three stories high. Looking up, it looked like a square tall tower. From time to time, people were busy loading the kiln.

Xue Zhiyu walked up to one of them and asked, "Is the director of your kiln factory here?"

The middle-aged man stopped what he was doing, turned around and looked at her. Seeing that she was just a little girl, he couldn't help but be perfunctory: "Our boss is very busy. This is not a place for you girls. Go away quickly," he said as he tried to drive her away.

Xue Zhiyu frowned, not happy with the obvious discrimination in his words. She glanced at the other men who had gathered around her and said slowly, "I'm here to discuss business with your boss. Anyway, this deal is a sure win for your boss, so you better think about it carefully."

The man who had spoken at the beginning suddenly hesitated, and then his partner pulled him aside and said in a low voice: "Are you stupid? That's Princess Kangle. Don't really offend her completely without knowing it, or you'll be in trouble."

The man looked towards Xue Zhiyu, then scratched his head, his tone full of anxiety: "I don't know what Princess Kangle looks like, so should I go up and ask the boss to come down?"

"That's nonsense! Hurry up and go!" his friend said as he pushed him.

The middle-aged man uttered "oh" several times, walked around to the main house at the back, knocked on the door, and said respectfully, "Boss, Princess Kangle said she wants to discuss business with you. Do you want to go see her?"

"Oh? Since the princess wants to see me, of course I have to see her. Bring her to the main hall, and don't be negligent."

"Ok."

Beitian stood nearby, a look of confusion flashing across his face. This princess's thoughts were indeed not comparable to those of ordinary women.

After Qin Yuming put down the teacup, he leaned back lazily, tapping the table rhythmically with his slender jade fingers. He lowered his eyes slightly, and the emotions in his eyes kept churning.

For some reason, it seemed as if the answer was about to come out of his heart, and he didn't know how to face it.

For a moment, no one spoke again until Qin Yuming calmed down, stood up and said, "Let's go, don't keep the princess waiting for too long."

Beitian nodded and followed closely behind him, with a heavy look on his face. He had been with his master since he was a child, and except for the leader, basically no one could make his master look like this. He didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.

In the main room, the four of them drank barley tea. Bai Nuolan looked at Xue Zhiyu, who was not nervous at all, and asked, "Is the princess so sure?"

"I am very confident that neither party will suffer any loss in this deal."

Bai Nuolan didn't ask any more questions, but he admired her business acumen in his heart.

"Princess, long time no see."

Upon hearing this voice, Xue Zhiyu lost her composure and almost choked on her tea.

If this voice isn't Qin Yuming's, who else could it be?

"Haha, Boss Qin, it's you. I didn't expect that this kiln factory is also yours. You really are a hidden talent."

When Bai Nuolan saw the person coming, his pupils couldn't help but shrink.

Is it him? !

Qin Yuming naturally also saw Bai Nuolan next to Xue Zhiyu, but his gaze only lingered for a moment, then he looked at Xue Zhiyu again and said jokingly: "My princess, do you want to know everything about me so much? I am really flattered."

Xue Zhiyu found that she really couldn't communicate with him. She clearly didn't mean that, so why did it sound so different when he said it? !

"I'm here to discuss business with Boss Qin. I hope you can make porcelain for us, but it must be according to my requirements. I will give you the drawings then."

Qin Yuming also put away his playful expression and found a place to sit down.

"What's in it for me? Or why do you think I would agree?"

"Because the drawings I give you will be unique, you can print your own labels on them, and then sell these porcelains with labels. This will not only make your name more famous, but also make more money. Isn't that a good deal?"

After Qin Yuming heard what she said, he roughly understood the meaning of the seventh or eighth level.

"But what are these labels you're talking about?"

Xue Zhiyu tried to think of some easier-to-understand words in her mind and explained, "It's a certificate that represents the identity of your kiln, just like the official kiln will print its own seal. Then you can use it to produce a line of porcelain that is unique to you. Anyway, your reputation is there, and you don't have to worry about losing money."

This was like a revelation to Qin Yuming, and he said calmly, "In this case, how do you plan to cooperate?"

"I'll give you the blueprints, and the porcelain you make will be used by us first. You can't sell it privately, and you can't sell the blueprints to others at will. Otherwise, you'll have to pay me ten times the contract fee. As for the profit sharing, I'll split it 60% and you 40%."

"Okay, but when can we sell these porcelains?"

"No hurry, I'll write to you after the opening."

"Great, I didn't expect to be able to work with the princess again. It is really Qin's honor."
