Moonlit Calamity: The Dragon Girl's Life of Idleness is Broken

"Thank you," he suddenly said to Long Chuqing.

"Hmm, what are you thanking me for? It's so sudden." Long Chuqing was a little puzzled.

"Qingying and Qingyang have both been on the battlefield with me, and can be considered brothers who have gone through thick and thin together. Qingying even took a fatal blow for me and almost died. You saved them today, so I should express my gratitude to you."

After listening, Long Chu said, "Thank you, I accept it, but you still need to pay the consultation fee." Then he smiled.

Xiao Han looked down at her and saw her smiling. He glanced at her a few more times, and Long Chuqing looked up, meeting his gaze. He quickly looked away, but the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. "Remember, we'll settle the bill together later."

After Xiao Han escorted Long Chuqing to Qiushui Pavilion, he went out, and Granny Lin prepared a meal for her.

"I'm really hungry."

Zi Guang asked with concern, "Miss, is Lord Qingying and Lord Qingyang alright?"

Both Ziguang and Granny Lin knew that something had happened to them.

"Okay, that's enough. A few more doses of medicine and I'll be completely fine." Long Chuqing replied to Ziguang while eating.

"That's wonderful! You really have a good idea, young lady!"

Ziguang thought for a moment and continued, "You don't know how worried everyone was when you were unconscious. They called you but you didn't respond, and they even tried to wake you up with acupuncture. Later..." Ziguang realized he had almost let something slip, so he didn't finish his sentence.

"What happened next?" Long Chuqing asked, looking up.

Ziguang dared not speak, but they took her to the yard and fumigate her with a foul odor.

"Later, you woke up when the prince came at noon," she said, then lowered her head guiltily.

Long Chuqing continued eating.

Today, instead of working on the medicinal herbs, Long Chuqing went upstairs to organize the medicines she had prepared over the past few days. There were already plenty of herbs, and with help from others, progress was going well.

The next day, Long Chuqing slept in very late. Today she wore a white wide-sleeved long dress. Her figure was slender and well-proportioned, and the plain white dress made her look even more elegant and refined.

She said she was going out today to stroll around the streets of Beijing. She had been here for more than ten days and still didn't know what color the sky was outside.

Zi Guang helped her comb her hair into a half-updo, with half of her black hair hanging down and tied behind her back with a ribbon. A crystal-clear jade hairpin was pinned to her head.

Her skin was as white as jade, smooth and delicate. She didn't need makeup; the red floral decoration between her eyebrows was already exceptionally eye-catching.

Ziguang said, "You are already stunningly beautiful without any makeup. You are the most beautiful person I have ever seen."

Long Chuqing said, "That's just because you haven't seen many people. The world is vast, there are many people, and naturally, there are many beautiful ones."

Beauty can be an asset, a weapon, but it can also be a fault, a burden.

She didn't care much about her appearance, since she usually transformed into a man to make it easier for her to travel the world.

She was having breakfast and asked Granny Lin to ask Uncle Zhong if there was a carriage available.

Uncle Zhong prepared a carriage for them, and Long Chuqing asked Granny Lin if she wanted to go along.

Granny Lin refused, "No, this servant will not go shopping with you young ladies."

Upon arriving at the entrance, Long Chuqing saw the carriage prepared by Uncle Zhong. It was wide and large, with the brightly lit words "Qin Prince's Mansion" on it. It was really too high-profile, wasn't it?

She asked Uncle Zhong next to her, "Do you have any smaller, more ordinary carriages, without the insignia of the Prince's Mansion?"

"Yes, do you want to sit in the smaller one? This big carriage is more comfortable."

"I want a small one," Long Chuqing answered decisively; she didn't want to be so flashy.

Uncle Zhong didn't say much, so he prepared according to her request: "Wait a moment, I'll go get you another one."

Before long, Uncle Zhong arrived at the gate in a simple carriage.

The coachman put down the foot pedal, and Zi Guang helped her into the carriage.

The carriage left the Qin Prince's Mansion, clattering along the stone-paved street towards Xuanque Avenue.

Long Chuqing instructed the coachman to go to the nearest money exchange first, as she wanted to exchange the banknotes for silver.

Inside the carriage, Long Chuqing sat down by the window. She lifted the curtain and looked out. The streets of the residential area were paved with bluestone slabs, much like those of other dynasties. Once outside the residential area, the flow of people increased, and the streets were bustling with activity, a scene of prosperity and liveliness.

The ancient street was bustling with people, dotted with food stalls, filled with calls of vendors and inquiries, creating a lively and lively atmosphere.

Before long, they arrived at the money exchange, where the owner greeted them, inquired about their purpose, and helped them exchange silver and copper coins.

After leaving the money exchange, they went to Yu Ning Fang, the largest cosmetics shop in the capital.

As expected of the largest building, this three-story building has very elegant store decorations.

As you approach the door, a strong scent of perfume wafts towards you.

At this time, there were already many women in the store choosing cosmetics. When the sales clerks saw that customers had arrived, they went up to greet them.

The saleswoman was very warm and attentive. When she noticed that Long Chuqing had difficulty walking, she invited her to sit down at the table.

She stared intently at Long Chuqing. She had noticed her as soon as she entered; the girl was truly beautiful, with flawless skin.

She even wondered what this girl was doing at their cosmetics shop. Her skin was so good, and she was so pretty, she didn't need to wear any cosmetics at all.

She even wanted to ask what kind of amazing products she used to have such smooth and beautiful skin, and if she could recommend some.

The saleswoman said with a smile, "What would you like, young lady? I'll bring it over for you to choose from in a bit."

The salesperson explained that their store has three floors, and each floor sells different products at different prices.

Yu Ning Fang has three floors. The first floor sells relatively affordable cosmetics, which most women can afford. The first floor is also the busiest, since ordinary people make up the majority of the business.

The second floor sells products of better quality and craftsmanship, and the prices are relatively higher than those on the first floor. The business on the second floor is also very good, as the mid-priced products are affordable for many people.

The third floor sells high-quality cosmetics and skincare products, which are naturally quite expensive and are generally consumed by women from wealthy families. Some people who have high standards for quality are willing to save up and buy them.

The rouge shop was decorated in a quiet and elegant style, yet it was also quite luxurious, making people feel very comfortable. The scent of cosmetics was not pungent.

"Girl, take a look. I can bring you anything that meets your quality requirements."

She brought the ones from the first floor first, but Long Chuqing glanced at them and put them down because they were too rough. She then asked the sales clerk to bring the ones from the second and third floors to look at.

"Bring me all the rouge, lipstick, and eyebrow ink of various colors and let me see them," Long Chuqing said.

Several women in the shop were looking at Long Chuqing, secretly observing her, and some were even gossiping about her.

A girl tugged at her companion's sleeve, "Look over there, that girl sitting there is so beautiful, her skin is so nice, she doesn't even look like she's wearing makeup! I'm so envious, how come she's so good-looking!"

"Yes! I saw her as soon as she came in, but I don't know which family's young lady she is."

One girl said to her companion, "Look at that girl, she's so pretty. Look at the red pattern painted between her eyebrows, it's really beautiful."
