The Regent Princess has run away again

After dinner, it was already time to light the lanterns, and lanterns had already been hung in the yard.

Xue Zhiyu chatted with Aunt Zhou for a few words and was about to return to the bedroom when Xue Zitong walked over quickly, looked at her hesitantly, and her eyes were filled with anxiety, almost crying.

She had no choice but to step forward and comfort him: "Don't worry, talk slowly."

"Um, Third Sister...can I come and chat with you later?"

Xue Zitong finally mustered up the courage and asked what was in her mind in one breath, but her round eyes stared at her without blinking, as if she was afraid that she would refuse.

Xue Zhiyu was a little amused and confused, she thought it was a big deal.

"Sure, but if I'm not here sometimes, you can go to the charity hall to find me."

"Yes! Thank you, third sister!"

"What's there to thank me for? Go back and have a rest."

After the two said goodbye, Xue Zhiyu took Xiaoqiu to her own courtyard.

The breeze caressed the girl's delicate skin, and the candlelight in the lantern swayed slowly, as if cheering for the slight coolness.

The fiery clouds that dyed half the sky red took on various shapes. The sun was already on its way home, and occasionally a few single-flying birds drew beautiful arcs in the air.

The noisy cicadas continued to chirp in her ears, and Xiao Qiu couldn't help complaining, "These cicadas are so annoying. My ears suffer every time they chirp at this time."

"Do you want to go catch cicadas with me?"

Xue Zhiyu stopped, turned around and asked expectantly.

This question almost frightened Xiao Qiu, and she quickly shook her head and refused, "Miss, please don't catch this cicada. It hurts people, and the master will scold you if he finds out."

Xue Zhiyu shrugged nonchalantly: "It's nothing, cicadas are not as scary as you say, but I don't have the tools right now, otherwise I would definitely take you to catch cicadas."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiaoqiu came closer to her in disbelief, as if she wanted to see through her.

"Miss, you used to be very afraid of insects, why are you so bold now?"

Xue Zhiyu coughed a few times and pretended to be serious: "People will change, and this is not a scary insect."

Seeing that Xiaoqiu accepted her explanation, Xue Zhiyu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Along the way, the two talked and laughed until an uncomfortable voice appeared, breaking the beauty.

Xue Zihan came out from nowhere, his face still as gentle as jade. He shook his head and said in a friendly manner, "Sister Zhiyu, did you enjoy your meal today?"

The moment Xue Zhiyu saw him, the smile on her face disappeared immediately. She nodded indifferently: "Well, thank you for your concern, brother."

Xue Zihan took in her expression, nodded without much concern, and continued with a smile, "You and I are family, why should we be so formal?"

"Brother is right. It's getting late. I won't bother you any more."

When she was about to take a detour, Xue Zihan stepped forward and blocked her way, as if deliberately going against her.

"I always feel that Sister Zhiyu has changed a lot. She has really grown up."

Xue Zhiyu really didn't want to get entangled with him any more, so she frowned and said directly: "Brother, it's better to speak clearly about what you want to say. I'm rather dull and can't understand your riddles."

"Sister Zhiyu is already an adult after all, so you should stop having any more contact with men. It's not good for your reputation."

"Thank you for your trouble, big brother. It's getting late. I want to go back and rest."

Xue Zhiyu didn't want to stay any longer and walked towards another path.

Xiao Qiu behind him turned around and glanced at the person behind him. He didn't know if it was an illusion. It was clearly a smiling face, but there was no warmth in it. Instead, it was very creepy.

After they were a distance away, Xiao Qiu couldn't help but walked up to him and asked, "Miss, you used to be so scared that you couldn't speak when you saw the young master. Why is it that this time..."

"People change, let's not talk about this anymore, let's go back and play with the quilt."

When Xiaoqiu heard this, she completely forgot what she was going to say. She was used to the young lady having new games from time to time.

After they washed up, Xue Zhiyu took out her homemade playing cards and briefly explained how to play.

Originally I thought that I had a lot of experience and would definitely win, but after a few rounds, except for the first two or three times I won, the back of my hand would have been swollen like a pig's hand if Xiaoqiu hadn't been afraid to really play.

"Xiao Qiu, you are so smart. You mastered many games very quickly."

Xue Zhiyu held her chin and spoke with a little frustration.

Xiao Qiu felt embarrassed by the compliment, scratched her head and said, "Miss, how about I let you do it a few times?"

Xue Zhiyu waved her hand and said seriously: "Don't, your lady is a genius. I just let you do it, but now I'm going to do it for real."

"Miss, your hand..."

"Come again, come again!"

In the silent night, the sound of clapping hands was particularly clear, mixed with the woman's scream.

The next day.

Situ Hongru stared at the finished humidifier fan and couldn't help but sigh. He spent a whole night making it, but how could he make it turn?

He still found it a little hard to believe what the princess said about using water to generate electricity. After all, he had never heard of this thing.

"Morning, Mr. Situ."

"My Lady, good morning. I have already made the fan you mentioned, but how do I make it turn?"

When Situ Hongru heard the voice of the person coming, he couldn't help but turn around and spoke anxiously.

Xue Zhiyu was frightened by Situ Hongru's appearance. The man in front of her had bloodshot eyes and his hairpin was inserted crookedly. She didn't have time to see him clearly just now, but now she was really frightened.

But it is understandable. After all, this thing is the first time for her, not to mention Situ Hongru. It is easy to say, but it is difficult to actually get started.

"The princess?"

"Mr. Situ, I hope you won't tell anyone else about this power generation method. I don't want to threaten you. If other people find out, I'm afraid you won't have an easy time either."

Xue Zhiyu walked forward and touched the fan. It was very different from what she had imagined.

Then he turned his head and glanced at Situ Hongru pretending to be nonchalant, but it made people feel as if they were falling into an ice cave. That look was like the god of death demanding life, without any warmth at all.

Situ Hongru subconsciously took a step back. For some reason, at this moment he felt that this princess was much more terrifying than that adult.

"Don't worry, my lady. I, Situ Hongru, am not such a despicable person. If you are still worried, you can sign a contract with me."

Xue Zhiyu shook her head: "If you employ someone, trust him. If you don't trust him, don't employ him. Since Mr. Situ said so, he must be trustworthy."

As soon as she finished speaking, she took out a small machine box from her sleeve. Under the gaze of Situ Hongru, she opened the cover of the fan host, put the machine box in, then pressed the switch, and the fan started to run.

"I thought about it yesterday. If we need real hydroelectric power generation, I'm afraid the demand for water will be very large. This can be used for at least a year or two."

Feeling the cool breeze from the fan, Situ Hongru felt extremely excited. He really wanted to take out the small box and open it.

As if seeing through his intention, Xue Zhiyu stopped him unceremoniously, "Mr. Situ, this thing cannot be taken apart at all."

"Hahaha, I was just thinking about it, but where did the princess get this box?"

“This is a gift from the God.”

When Xue Zhiyu said this, she was not embarrassed at all, because it was impossible for her to say that she had cheated in the system, and now she could only borrow his name.

Xuan Ji, who was playing chess with the emperor in the palace, couldn't help but sneeze. He rubbed his nose, looked up at the sunny weather, and thought that someone must be scolding him?

Situ Hongru finally understood that it was indeed not something he and others could disassemble, so he did not dwell on the topic and instead asked, "How many do you plan to make, Princess?"

"Make six first, but I'm not in a hurry. Just come to my house or the charity hall to let me know when you're done."

"Princess, may I ask what this fan is used for?"

"I am planning to open a restaurant and serve hot pot. These fans can drive away some of the heat, so I can eat hot pot comfortably in the summer."

Situ Hongru was very curious about the hot pot Xue Zhiyu mentioned, and couldn't help asking, "What is this hot pot?"

Under Situ Hongru's gaze, Xue Zhiyu pretended to think for a while, then said slowly, "When we officially open, I will definitely invite Mr. Situ to come and taste it."

"Okay, okay, thank you, Princess. Just leave the matter of the fan to me. I am the best craftsman in Yan Country after all."

"Then Mr. Situ, take care of it. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

"Princess, I'll see you off."

After the two parted ways, Xue Zhiyu planned to go and check out the charity hall's recent revenue before noon. In the afternoon, she planned to take some time to give the recruits some simple training.

Alas, it turns out that she is destined to be a hard worker. She still doesn't forget to work even after traveling through time. The heroine directly finds a powerful and rich hero to rely on after traveling through time, but she has to support herself.

Forget it, she should just work honestly, make a lot of money and live a good life.

． ． ． ． ． ． ．

"My Lord, you are finally here."

"Well, bring me the latest account book so I can take a look."

The shopkeeper immediately led Xue Zhiyu into the accounting office, took out the key from his sleeve, opened several cabinets, and took out several account books.

While Xue Zhiyu was reading, the shopkeeper said anxiously, "More and more ladies have come to buy facial cream recently, and the orders are gradually piling up. If we stop production for a long time, I'm afraid they will make a fuss."

Xue Zhiyu paused while flipping through the account book, frowned, and rubbed her temples helplessly. It seemed that she couldn't take on all the things. She almost forgot about this one.

"Go call Shijiu over. I have something to ask him."

"Yes."

Not long after the shopkeeper went out, Shijiu knocked on the door. After hearing Xue Zhiyu's voice, he pushed the door open and came in.

"My Lord, what do you want from me?"

Xue Zhiyu then raised her head and saw the wine picker dressed as an apprentice. She almost didn't react.

"The princess?"

Shijiu thought there were still some broken pieces of medicinal herbs on his body, which shouldn't be the case. He had already brushed them off before coming in, but he still looked around.

"I asked you to come here to help me do something, but don't tell anyone."

Shijiu suddenly became excited. Did the princess start to use him? He lowered his voice and said, "Princess, whoever you want me to kill, I will kill him for you."

Xue Zhiyu wanted to pry open his brain to see what was inside. Was she some kind of murderous maniac? !

"I'm not asking you to kill people, but to help me choose a remote place to set up a small workshop. The sooner the better. Also, find a group of people who are tight-lipped. Remember that?"

"Got it, I'll do it right away," Shijiu said, and then hurriedly left the accounting office.

"Miss, let me get you a cup of tea."

"Well, please."

Apart from the facial cream, the income from the small pills and medical treatments is quite good. Because the medicines are properly stored, there is not much loss.

This account book is very beautifully made and very clear at a glance. The accountant is worthy of being hired by Mrs. Li at a high price. He is indeed capable.

It took Xue Zhiyu about a cup of tea to put the last account book back into the cabinet.

"Princess, someone is looking for you outside," the shopkeeper pushed open the door and spoke from the side.

"I'll be out right now. You keep the account book. Next time you see the accountant, tell him that I think highly of him and that he does a good job of keeping accounts. But I have a more convenient way. Show him this paper. If he doesn't understand, tell him to come to me," Xue Zhiyu said as she handed over a piece of paper.

Although the shopkeeper was a little confused, he still reached out to take it and put it in his sleeve: "Yes, I will tell you next time."

Xue Zhiyu nodded, then took Xiaoqiu out.

At this time, Bai Nuolan was standing at the door, very anxious. Ever since she knew that Xuanwu had taken the Yin Fu without telling him, she knew that she could not wait any longer. She needed to further confirm Xue Zhiyu's identity.

As for Concubine Zhao, she could only be fooled for now. Thinking of this, a hint of depth flashed across her emerald green eyes. She would definitely find the leader back.

"Nolan?! Why are you here?"

Bai Nuolan put away his thoughts instantly, walked forward and slowly said: "Princess, no, I should call you Saint, it's been a long time since we last met, how are you doing recently?"

"Everything is fine. How about you? Why don't I see Kankan following you?"

"I'm fine too. A good friend of ours has come from the Western Regions. Kanan has been accompanying him these past few days. I would like to invite you to our temporary residence to taste the delicacies of the Western Regions."

Xue Zhiyu was immediately interested when she heard this, but after thinking for a moment she asked, "Will this cause any trouble to you?"

"No, it is our honor to have the Saint come. Let's go."

"Okay, then you can lead the way."

． ． ． ． ． ． ．

The residence where Bai Nuolan was temporarily staying was also on Zhaoyuan Street, not too far to walk there.

As soon as she entered the door, a hearty voice came from not far away. Xue Zhiyu couldn't help but be stunned. This voice sounded so familiar. Could it be the one she was thinking of?

As if to confirm her guess, the man walked over quickly. When Xue Zhiyu saw his appearance clearly, she felt like she was struck by lightning.

She should have thought that the good friend Bai Nuolan mentioned should be Xuanwu, but she had disguised herself that day, so no one would know it was her. Thinking of this, Xue Zhiyu felt relieved.

"Nolan... who are they?!"
