Xingnong came out of the clothing shop, got on the carriage, and went to the study to hand in the script.
Xinghua Study also has branches in major cities throughout the Chu State. She only needs to take the jade token and hand in the script.
The previous storybooks are now being printed in various places and are on sale in Xinghua Bookstore in Beijing, with very good sales.
These days, Xingnong would spend half an hour writing the storybook whenever he had free time. He had just finished the first half of the storybook, totaling 50,000 words. Because printing and transportation were inconvenient in that dynasty, Xingnong handed it to the study in the capital for printing in advance after he had finished writing it, and there was no need to wait until he returned to Futai County to hand it in.
The clothing store and the study are not on the same street.
The study is on Guoxue Street, because the Imperial College and Songya Women's Academy were both built on Guoxue Street, so most of the shops gathered on Guoxue Street are study, antique and other shops that literati and poets like to visit.
When Shen Nan drove his carriage to Guoxue Street, it was the time for the Imperial College to finish classes, and there were many students wearing white Imperial College uniforms walking on the street.
Xingnong accidentally saw Prince Yong'an get on a carriage and leave.
There was nothing strange about this. After school, it was normal for students to return home to have meals.
However, the direction in which the carriage left was not the direction of Princess Changping's mansion. Xingnong thought of Xing Qing saying that he was weird, and also thought of his unusual behavior last night.
Xing Nong couldn't help but said, "Follow him."
Shen Nan immediately understood and followed from a distance in the carriage.
Finally, Prince Yongan's carriage stopped in the slums in the west.
He got off the carriage alone, came to a wonton shop at the entrance of the alley, and sat down.
It was dinner time and this wonton shop was doing pretty good business. All the tables were occupied except the one where he was sitting, as if it had been specially reserved for him.
The stall owner was a woman in her forties. She was very happy to see him. "Sir, would you like a bowl of wontons like usual?"
"Yeah." Prince Yong'an nodded, then glanced at the woman next to the woman without leaving a trace.
"Ping'er, bring a bowl of wontons to the young master."
"Hey~, it's cooked." A beautiful woman with fair skin responded.
Xingnong did not let Chen Nan stop. When the carriage passed by, Xingnong quietly lifted a corner of the curtain and just saw Ping'er blushing as she served a bowl of wontons to Prince Yong'an.
The woman had fair skin, almond eyes, rosy cheeks, and a pretty face. When she put down a bowl of wontons, she secretly glanced at Prince Yong'an with shyness in her eyes.
But she quickly looked away, lowered her head, turned around and hurried away.
Xingnong subconsciously guessed that Prince Yong'an came to this stall that was not suitable for his status to eat wontons because he loved this woman
Xingnong felt that this woman’s big almond-shaped eyes were a bit similar to Xingqing’s.
Could it be that Xing Qing felt that Prince Yongan looked at her in a strange way because Xing Qing's eyes looked similar to those of the woman he loved
Xing Qing’s almond eyes are very beautiful, completely inheriting Shen Ruolan’s almond eyes.
Shen Ruolan and Shen Ruoxi both inherited Gu's almond eyes, which were big and bright, with a beautiful curve and very smart.
Xingnong saw Prince Yong'an look at the woman again when she returned to the stove to continue cooking wontons.
That look didn't seem like admiration, and Xingnong couldn't tell what he felt.
It's a bit weird indeed!
Xing Nong held his chin in thought.
The look in Prince Yongan's eyes seemed like he was not staring at a person, but... a prey
Yes, that’s the feeling!
Is this hunting for beauty
Xingnong didn't take Prince Yong'an's pursuit of beauties seriously.
After all, Xing Qing and Prince Yong'an are half-siblings, so he would never hunt for beauty on Xing Qing. With Chen Nan protecting Xing Qing at night and guarding against him, Xing Nong was still relieved.
As for him eavesdropping and seeing something happen one night, it could just be a coincidence. It had nothing to do with her anyway.
Xing Nong lowered the carriage curtain, and Shen Nan drove the carriage past the stalls, gradually going farther and farther away, and then circled back to the study on Guoxue Street.

Princess Pingyang's Mansion
A maid read aloud: "There are four things a woman should do: one is virtue, two is speech, three is appearance, four is work..."
"Women have four virtues: one is virtue, two is speech, three is appearance, four is work..." Xing Qing followed the nanny to recite the Rules for Women. As soon as she started to recite the first sentence, she felt sleepy and could not help yawning.
The nanny frowned and said, "Princess Funing, didn't I tell you yesterday that women must never do such indecent things?"
Shen Ruolan frowned, feeling a little disappointed. She pushed Xing Qing and said, "What's wrong with you, girl? Didn't you sleep well last night?"
Xing Qing said with a puzzled look on her face: "Yawning and farting are both human instincts, and they are natural things. How can they be considered indecent? Madam, don't you yawn or fart?"
Xing Qing yawned again after she finished speaking.
By the way, she specially invited the princess and the governess to eat the laxative and bowel-soothing porridge that her sister taught her this morning, so why haven’t they reacted yet
My sister heard her complain that learning the rules and virtues of a woman was boring, that she couldn’t burp in front of others, couldn’t yawn in front of others, couldn’t fart in front of others…
My sister gave me a prescription and said that I would fart and burp after eating it!
In this way, if the governess nanny and Princess Changle behaved immorally and disrespectfully in front of him, he would feel embarrassed to teach her!
Mammy: “… … ..”
vulgar!
It's like mud can't be stuck to the wall.
She had taught so many noble ladies, but had never encountered one so difficult to teach.
"Of course you have to endure this? Especially in front of others! You can never do this. It is totally uncultured and undignified! A well-educated person would never do such things." The governess farted loudly as she finished speaking.
Nanny: “… .”
Xing Qing covered her nose and smiled: "So, nanny can fart too! Isn't that considered indecent?"
Changle frowned and subconsciously covered her nose. She was about to say that Nanny was old and different from them, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she couldn't help but burped: "Uh~"
Xing Qing looked at her in surprise: "Changle, you also hiccup? Didn't they say you can't hiccup in front of others?"
Changle blushed, and before he could say anything, he said "Uh~"
I can't control it!
Once the hiccups start, they won’t go away in a short while!
Even if Princess Changle kept her mouth shut, she couldn't stop it.
She was about to leave when a maid came in. She bowed, glanced at Xing Qing and said, "Princess Changle, someone came to ask to see Princess Funing, saying that she is your cousin."
“Uh…” Princess Changle heaved a sigh of relief after hearing that. She burped and immediately said, “Since someone else has come to visit me, I’ll go back first! Uh…”
The nanny also breathed a sigh of relief: "Princess Funing, please receive the guests first!"
After saying that, she ran away quickly!
If possible, she would like to cover her butt!
After the two of them left, Xing Qing said to the maid who delivered the message, "No!"
That’s it, she yawned and went back to sleep!
