A short night is hard to please! A stunningly handsome prince dotes on her exclusively.

Before long, Lou Shenghan successfully angered the three of them, and Xin Moling sent Hongluan to kick him out, forbidding him from approaching the milk tea shop again. He also sent the gift back to the Lie Wang Mansion.

Meanwhile, a milk tea shop opened on West Street, and the owners were two beautiful, warm, and polite women. This news spread throughout the streets and alleys of Beijing in an instant. Some people came to see them for themselves, while others were curious about what the rumored milk tea tasted like. People lined up to place orders at the shop.

Throughout the day, everyone was almost constantly busy. For lunch and dinner, Xin Moyan specially arranged for Yunxianglou to deliver delicious food, for which the employees were extremely grateful.

Busy until evening, after the last cup of milk tea was sold, Xin Moyan quickly hung up a sign at the door saying it was temporarily closed. Cai Lian and Hua Buyu calculated the day's profits, while the others cleaned up the place.

"Four thousand six hundred and twenty-six," Hua Buyu finished counting the last copper coin, then quickly picked up a fine brush and calculated using modern mathematical division.

"Five hundred and fourteen, Yan Yan, we sold five hundred and fourteen cups of milk tea today!"

"So many? Luckily, we made a little too much of the pearls and taro balls last night. We were thinking that selling 300 cups would be pretty good, but we didn't expect it to exceed that much."

Xin Moyan was quite surprised, after all, this was the first time people in ancient times had ever seen milk tea, and she was worried that business would be slow!

"Exactly! But we won't make much money these few days from the promotion. Once the grand opening promotion is over, we'll definitely be counting money until our hands are sore."

Xin Moling walked over and said gently, "Yan'er, you got up early today and have been busy all day. You must be very tired. Let your brother take you back to the manor to rest!"

"Xin Moling, I've been busy all day too, why didn't you tell me to rest early?"

He glanced up briefly, then said, "I'm worried about Yan'er getting tired, but you, when have you ever wronged yourself?"

This time, Hua Buyu didn't argue with him. Instead, she nodded in agreement, "That's right. If anyone dares to keep me from sleeping, I'll beat them into a pig's head."

After tidying up, the group returned to the General's Mansion in a grand procession. They planned to conduct a trial operation during the day and then arrange staff for the morning and evening shifts once the business stabilized.

For two consecutive days, the tea was the subject of much discussion on the streets and alleys. In addition, Lou Shenghan promoted it several times in the court. Many high-ranking officials and nobles sent people to buy this milk tea that was rumored to be miraculous. The business of Sweet Face and Sweet Words was booming.

Since there were no sealing machines in ancient times, Xin Moyan specially had people improve the oil paper used to wrap the sesame cakes, making it into an ultra-thin version. This was then placed over the bamboo tube and tied tightly with a red silk thread, so that it would not easily spill when packaged, and it would be much cleaner and more hygienic.

Yunxianglou

"Yan Yan, it's rare that there aren't as many guests as the previous days, and Xin Moling has gone to court, so we have some private space to relax here!"

Hua Buyu lay on the chaise lounge, looking utterly dejected. In the past, she hadn't had to do business so personally, and she hadn't been exercising this much in a long time. She was really tired!

Xin Moyan's lips curved into a beautiful smile. "Then let's rest today and go over tomorrow. But, you know what, my back has been aching since yesterday."

"Really? Yan Yan, come here, I'll give you a massage."

She reached out and patted the empty spot on the couch, gesturing for Xin Moyan to come and sit down.

Xin Moyan was about to get up and walk over when a warm current surged through her lower abdomen, and her body froze instantly. It was as if... she had been transported here for a month.

"Yan Yan, what's wrong?"

"No... I think I'm getting my period."

"Ok?"

Hua Buyu hurriedly sat up. Seeing Yan Yan's bewildered expression, she couldn't help but chuckle, "Yan Yan, that expression of yours, is it your first time getting your period since you came here?!"

She nodded, then asked curiously, "Buyu, what was menstruation like in ancient times?"

A moment later, Xin Moyan changed into a new set of clothes, holding a cotton cloth shaped like a hand-washable sanitary napkin in her hand, her expression one of utter disbelief.

"So... sanitary napkins existed in ancient times?"

"In ancient times, there were no sanitary napkins. People would just wrap a piece of cloth with wood ash and make do with it. They didn't care about hygiene at all. This 'Peace of Mind Cloth' was designed by the head of Xixiang Pavilion many years ago. The back is sewn with soft suede. It can't prevent leakage like the plastic film of modern sanitary napkins, but it won't be easily soaked through either. Xixiang Pavilion has branches in all four countries. Every woman can go there to get five 'Peace of Mind Cloths' for free every month. This initiative has made the head of the pavilion very popular among women in all four countries, and Xixiang Pavilion has become famous as a result."

Hua Buyu explained in a rambling manner, her eyebrows raised high, looking somewhat proud and self-satisfied.

"Xiang Pavilion? Silence. You said the pavilion master is so friendly to women, and even designed a sanitary napkin that looks like a sanitary napkin. Could he also be a time traveler?"

"Uh... I think it's possible. If we have the chance in the future, we must get to know that mysterious Pavilion Master properly."

"Yan Yan, don't pay attention to that pavilion master for now. Let's eat first. I've sent someone to the General's Mansion to tell you that your brother will come to Yunxiang Tower to find us after court."

Xin Moyan nodded thoughtfully. After all, she and Buyu could both travel through time, so there might be other time travelers in this world as well.

Then, the two had a big meal in the private room, but halfway through the meal, Xin Moyan felt her stomach hurting more and more, and she wanted to go to the toilet, but she was too lazy to move.

"Buyu, I'm going to the restroom. You rest here for a bit."

Seeing that she didn't look well, Hua Buyu asked worriedly, "Yan Yan, your lips look a little pale. Do you need me to stay with you?"

She shook her head, thinking that she wouldn't have menstrual cramps now that she was in a different body, but to her surprise, the pain was even worse!

After a long time, Xin Moyan carefully moved her feet and slowly walked out of the 'public toilet', her face pale and cold sweat pouring down her forehead.

Summer, stickiness, menstrual cramps, and pooping—what a despairing experience!

She squatted down, not knowing what kind of bone it was, but it was the bone behind her buttocks. The pain made her whole body tremble, and with the pain in her lower abdomen, she dared not move at all. She couldn't muster any strength. Forget it, she decided not to go.

She didn't dare to move too much, so she slowly stood up and went back to her room to lie down for a while.

I want to go back to the modern era! I want ibuprofen so badly!!!

Xin Moyan leaned against the wall as she walked out of the bathroom. Just as she was about to turn the corner to go to her room, her legs suddenly went weak.

hold head high?

Why is it dark?

"Yan'er!"

Just a second before Xin Moyan fainted, she suddenly heard someone call her name. Instantly, she was caught in someone's arms and fell into a cool embrace. She caught a whiff of a refreshing fragrance.
