The group's favorite, the blind princess is both a doctor and a poisoner

He looked up at Su Yuejian and found that Su Yuejian was also looking at him, with her fingers slightly curled.

As soon as Su Yuejian and Xie Jiusi's eyes met, they immediately lowered their eyes.

It seems that Miss Gu likes Xie Jiusi very much. Looking at Xie Jiusi's expression, it seems that she is not interested in him.

Besides, if Miss Gu knew that Xie Jiusi was a homosexual, she would be heartbroken.

She thought about it and shook her head slightly, feeling sorry for Gu Xiyue in her heart.

Xie Jiusi saw her suddenly shaking her head for some reason and was afraid that she had misunderstood.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard a noble lady say, "The hairpin on Princess Minghua's head is so beautiful, with such special pearls. I wonder which shop she bought it from."

Everyone looked over when they heard the sound. They had only been looking at Su Yuejian's face and hadn't paid much attention to her headdress. Now, after a closer look, they saw that the pearls were large, lustrous, and very shiny. They were indeed top-quality.

Wang Qingyi also said, "It's true! This is the first time I've seen such a big pearl!"

Gan He glanced at him, then leaned forward and said to Xie Jiusi,

"Master, I think the pearl on Princess Minghua's hairpin is the legendary mermaid's tear."

Xie Jiusi curled his lips and chuckled, his eyes flashing with a faint light.

Yes, it is indeed the tears of the mermaid.

"Mermaid tears? What are mermaid tears?"

Xiao Chengchang asked.

Gan He said, "It is said that there are mermaids in the South China Sea. Their eyes can weep pearls, and their pearls are sparkling and crystal clear."

Xiao Chengchang frowned slightly and said, "It's just pearls, nothing special."

Xie Jiusi put down his teacup. "Mermaid tears are the finest of pearls. Ancient books and records say they are the king of pearls, emitting a multicolored glow when exposed to light. This one is not only priceless, but truly invaluable. The book even records that during the previous dynasty, a foreign country paid tribute worth seven cities for a single mermaid tear."

Xiao Chengchang paused in fanning himself and his eyes widened.

This, this, this... These mermaid tears... are so precious?!

When the people nearby heard the conversation between Xie Jiusi and the others, they were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths. They opened their eyes wide and stared at the huge pearl on Su Yuejian's head.

Seven, seven, seven...seven cities!!!

Is the Taifu Mansion so rich? !

They only heard that after Miss Su returned to her ancestral home, the Taifu Mansion and the Duke's Mansion bought all the jewelry, clothes and cosmetics on the entire Yong'an Street.

Isn’t that enough? He can even find the legendary mermaid tears for her! ! !

It is really hard to imagine how much Taifu Su and Duke Lu doted on Princess Minghua!

For a moment, all the ladies' attention was focused on Su Yuejian.

Oh my god! Princess Minghua is wearing seven cities on her head!

Compared with the mermaid's tears, the golden hairpin in the pavilion is just a drop in the bucket and not worth mentioning.

Meng Ange frowned and stared at Su Yuejian, as if he wanted to poke a hole in her head.

Su Yue was slightly startled when she saw the tea-making process. It turned out to be such precious mermaid tears.

I don’t know how much effort Xiao Heng put into finding it, but he didn’t even mention it in the letter.

Yuzhu behind him tried hard to suppress the turmoil in her heart.

My goodness, the Regent is so good to these princesses that he gave them such precious things without hesitation.

She felt that it was necessary to study the new pieces of jewelry in the princess's jewelry box carefully when she returned.

Judging from this, the other jewels sent by the Regent must be more than just beautiful than ordinary jewels...

Su Wan was a little confused, but she didn't care. She just felt that Su Yuejian was much more complicated than she usually saw.

But everyone has secrets, and their sisterhood is genuine, and that's enough.

Qinglan bowed her head respectfully. She knew that the Taifu Mansion had never sent any mermaid tears to Su Yuejian, but the master's affairs were not their business.

Xie Jiusi looked at the pearl with deep eyes, then lowered his eyes.

There was only one mermaid tear, and he had sent people to look for it. After much hardship, they finally got some information about its whereabouts, but it was snatched away by the people from Wanbao Pavilion.

However, the Wanbao Pavilion has never had any mermaid tears in its auction items over the years, but today it appeared on Su Yuejian's head...

Xie Jiusi's hand holding the teacup tapped slightly.

"Master, the time has come." Gan He reminded.

Xie Jiusi nodded slightly.

The servants came in one after another with trays and stood in a row.

Gan He walked to the middle and announced loudly, "This year's chess tournament is about to begin. Those who are ready to participate can come forward to get their number plates and register. After getting your plates, please move to the second floor competition area. The rest of you, please go up to the second floor to watch the competition."

In the hall, servants and maids came forward one after another to receive their master's number badges, and then stood up and went to the second floor.

Seeing so many people coming forward to get their badges, Wang Qingyi turned to Firefox and said, "Firefox, go get one too."

Firefox shook his head at her and said, "Miss, why don't you consider it again?"

Wang Qingyi raised her eyebrows slightly. Su Wan looked at her maid's expression and asked, "Sister Wang, how are your chess skills?"

Wang Qingyi thought for a moment and said, "It's okay, but the important thing is to participate. Sister Zhou, Sister Su, Yue'er, aren't you going to sign up?"

Su Yuejian took a sip of tea, smiled and shook her head, "No."

"That's a shame. I was hoping for a chance to compete with Princess Minghua."

A woman's gentle voice was heard, Su Yuejian looked up, and Shen Wenshu came over at some point and smiled gently at her.

Su Yuejian saw that the maid behind her had already received her number plate.

Her eyebrows curved slightly, "Miss Shen, if you want to play chess, you can send me a message anytime, and I will definitely accompany you."

Shen Wenshu nodded slightly.

"Hey, aren't you said to be a talented woman? Why don't you even dare to participate in a chess competition?"

Princess Yilun came over with her maid and Lin Mengran, looking at Su Yuejian with her chin held high, disgust evident on her face.

"What's your business?" Zhou Min asked directly.

Although Meng Angge and Zhou Min were both born to princesses, Zhou Min's mother was Princess Yongqing, born to the empress dowager, while Meng Angge's mother was Princess Jiaping, born to the concubine dowager.

In addition, Princess Jiaping married a fourth-rank official of the Ministry of Rites, and the Marquis of Jingyang's Mansion was indeed a real aristocratic family.

So the identities of the two people are actually quite different.

Looking at Zhou Min's cold eyes, Meng Angge felt deflated and curled his lips.

What's so great about being a tomboy!

"Princess, as the saying goes, no one is perfect. Princess Minghua's talent lies in poetry, but her chess skills are different. You can let others read and learn from books, but you can't play chess without seeing it."

Lin Mengran had a smile on her face, but the mockery in her eyes was not concealed at all.

After she reminded him, Meng Ange remembered that Su Yuejian was blind before, and laughed at her.

"Meng Ran, you are right. I am really confused. How can I let a blind man play chess?"

Lin Mengran glanced at Su Wan again, and then sneered, "As for this merchant family, they have always been full of money, how could they understand these elegant things?"

"Are you two itching for trouble?" Zhou Min's eyes grew even colder.

Meng Ange and Lin Mengran were frightened by her eyes and dared not speak anymore.

After the two men finished laughing wantonly, they were about to leave triumphantly when they saw Su Yuejian suddenly stand up.
