After the incident in Fuyunzhu that day, Su Qin seemed to have disappeared. ()
Two days later, Mo Xiang got the news. It turned out that Su Xiangru called Su Qin to the study when he returned home that night, severely reprimanded her, and warned her not to go out before the concubine selection banquet, and to meditate on her past at home. Su Qin originally wanted to use the help of others to humiliate Su Li in public and make her unable to get off the stage, but instead she was teased by Su Li and accidentally angered Dongfang Zhuo. She was already very frightened, and now the door was closed tightly. , staying at home and preparing for the concubine selection banquet.
The next day, Su Xiangru personally reported the reason to the emperor, and begged the emperor to punish him. Although the emperor was displeased with breaking the gift given by the emperor, he did not blame Su Qin too much for his unintentional act. He only ordered him to repair the Fuyun Pearl as soon as possible. .
After Su Li heard this, he sneered in his heart. Su Xiangru had arranged these steps just right. On the surface, he comforted Su Li and prevented Su Qin from causing trouble before the concubine selection banquet, and also prevented Dongfang Zhuo from blaming the prime minister for this matter. And those beads were finally taken away by Dongfang Zhuo. He said he would give it to her after he repaired it.
More than half a month passed in a blink of an eye. Dongfang Zhuo seemed to be very busy and did not come to see her again. Su Li read quietly every day and practiced martial arts as usual at night. Except for the occasional tentative inquiry about her willingness to join Shenmen, everything was as calm as ever, and she was just waiting for the concubine selection banquet.
Mo Xiang, on the other hand, couldn't help but stamp her feet in anger when she saw Su Li doing nothing all day long, neither worrying about the clothes or accessories needed for the banquet nor spending any time preparing for the talent show. Now, even if the two princes treat each other differently, I'm afraid the emperor and queen will not be happy at all!
At noon that day, seeing her wanting to read again after dinner, Mo Xiang finally couldn't hold it back and persuaded: "Miss, King Jing'an has agreed that you can enter the palace to stand for election. Although the decree has not been issued yet, we can at least do it." Get ready, right? Look at your wardrobe, you don’t even have any decent clothes, let alone jewelry. How are you going to enter the palace in a while? "
Su Li blinked, she knew very well in her heart that the original purpose of entering the palace was not to choose a concubine, so why would she bother to worry about these things? But... Mo Xiang reminded her that when Dongfang Zhuo left that day, she had told her to seriously prepare for the candidacy. Now that she thought about it, she should at least make a show of it, otherwise it would also make people suspicious.
. These peaceful and uneventful days are indeed a bit boring. She thought for a moment and smiled: "Oh... what do you think?"
When Mo Xiang saw Su Li's response, she immediately suggested excitedly: "I heard that the custom-made clothes at Nishang Pavilion on Dongshi Street are very unique. Why don't Mo Xiang accompany the lady to go out for a walk?"
Su Li shook his head helplessly, stood up with a smile, the master and servant packed up, took a soft sedan and headed straight to Dongshi Street. ()
As the most prosperous commercial street in Kyoto, Dongshi Street runs through the entire Dongcheng, so it is called Dongshi Street. There are rows of shops on both sides of the street, selling all kinds of goods, so there is a constant flow of people from morning to night. Su Li got off the sedan at the street entrance, told the bearer to wait here, and led Mo Xiang into the crowd.
The master and servant spent more than an hour browsing almost all the clothing and jewelry stores on Dongshi Street. Unknowingly, Mo Xiang was carrying more and more things in her hands, and Su Li felt sore and uncomfortable in her legs. , I felt a little tired and just wanted to find a place to rest as soon as possible. He looked up and saw a teahouse in front of him, and said quickly: "I'm thirsty. Let's go have a cup of tea and rest."
Before entering the door, a flag flag was fluttering in the wind directly opposite the teahouse, with three big words written on it, Tzu Chi Hall.
Su Li's heart suddenly moved. She heard that Tzu Chi Tang is well run and has a wide range of purchasing channels. The headquarters in Beijing also has a variety of rare and exotic medicines as store signs, attracting people from all over the world to come here to buy them. Since they are already at the door, they might as well go and find out. Maybe there is such a thing as a love flower
Su Li told Mo Xiang to wait for her in the teahouse and walked into Tzu Chi Hall alone. I went to the shopkeeper and asked about the love flower. The shopkeeper said that he was helpless. He was not far different from what Jiang Yuan said. Love flower was indeed a unique plant of the Bian royal family. It was extremely difficult to cultivate. It could only be used after the Bian Emperor personally ordered it.
From this point of view, Liu's identity may not be as simple as it seems. How could such a precious thing be used so easily without an important purpose? Su Li stepped out of the door, frowned and breathed a sigh of relief. The hair on her cheeks was blown open a little, revealing a little blush.
.
A compelling gaze fell on her face from above her head. Su Li was immediately alert and raised her head intuitively.
An unusually tall and burly middle-aged man, with a broad face and straight eyebrows, wearing foreign clothes and a strange hairstyle, is located in a private room at the corner of the second floor of the teahouse. His body that was sitting upright has been halfway out of the window, staring. A pair of copper bell-like eyes, with an expression of surprise and confusion on his face.
This person was not acquainted with her, and her eyes only stayed for a moment. Su Li then turned her eyes away indifferently and started to walk away. Suddenly there was a sound of clothes, and a huge black shadow fell from the sky.
This man was tall and burly. He jumped from such a high second floor, but landed silently. His movements were not clumsy at all. He was obviously a martial arts master, and his actions were clearly directed at him! Su Li's eyes couldn't help but darken, and she stepped back, secretly on guard.
The strong man took a big step and stood in front of Su Li. He said loudly in the very awkward Shengguo language: "You, stop!" At the same time, he waved his hand to grab her arm!
Su Li's eyes flashed sharply, and she shouted majestically: "You are so brave!" Her voice was not loud, but the strength she exuded at that moment was intimidating.
The strong man was stunned for a moment and had no time to speak. A master quickly came up behind him. He was dressed like a scholar in civilian clothes. His round eyes were exposed. He stroked his mustache and said with a smile: "Don't be upset, girl. My lord just thinks that the girl looks very similar." I am an old friend, but I lost my sense of proportion in a hurry. Please forgive me." He spoke the language very fluently, and it seemed that he should be a strong man's portable translator.
Su Li said coldly: "Old friend? Judging from your attire, you are not from our Sheng country at all. How can I, this lady, be an old friend with him?"
The strong man's expression changed immediately when he heard this, and he defended stiffly: "They look... so similar!"
Su Li snorted coldly and said: "It's really interesting. There are so many people with similar looks in the world. What evidence do you have to prove that I am your old friend?"
People were coming and going on Dongshi Street, and when they saw a strong foreign man confronting a delicate little girl, a few people who were eager to have fun quickly came over, and soon a circle of people formed.
"Miss!" Mo Xiang saw Su Li being blocked in the street. She was afraid that something might happen to her, so she panicked and squeezed in through the wall, supported her and shouted: "Who are you! How dare you confront her?" Miss Xiangfu is rude?"
