However, listening to the princess's virtuous words one by one, and the prince's response one by one, why did she feel like she was a small pet such as a kitten and puppy they raised?

This feeling made Concubine Mei very uncomfortable.

Not long after the crown prince and the crown princess left, Concubine Mei slammed the pillow to the ground, pounded the quilt and scolded.

In his chest, anger burned brightly.

Qiao Xiaoru, Qiao Xiaoru, that slut, she dares!

The cold water of the lake stretched to the top, and at that moment her hands and feet were cold, her body and mind were cold, and the fear she had never felt before filled her entire soul.

She thought she was going to die.

She had never been so scared, so desperate!

That slut even dared to threaten her......

The most hateful thing is that the crown princess also fell into the well.

What a life-saving benefactor, what a heavy gift thanks! It was obviously her bad idea, but in the end, it became "obey the prince's order" in her mouth.

Concubine Mei understands that she can only pinch her nose and admit this secret loss.

Not only can he no longer mention the truth, but when he sees Qiao Xiaoru in the future, he has to put on a grateful look affectionately.

As long as the princess's heavy gift of "obeying the prince's order" is delivered to the slut in the eldest princess's mansion, this matter is equivalent to a certainty.

What else do you want to tell the prince? Tell the prince that she pushed herself?

Before that, what was the crown prince's order for the princess to give gifts and gratitude? Let the prince slap himself in the mouth?

In this way, it will only annoy the prince.

As a woman who grew up with the prince since she was a child, and was carefully selected by the eldest princess, Concubine Mei can even be said to know him better than the prince himself.

Concubine Mei let out a long sigh of relief and muttered a sneer: "Qiao, I am the future concubine, the imperial concubine, or even- you dare to offend me?" Hmph, why are you! Really when I'm afraid of your threat? You wait......"

The next day, the chief steward of the East Palace personally sent the heavy gift to the eldest princess's mansion.

Because Qiao Xiaoru was also "sick" by diving to save Concubine Mei, she was the chief manager that Lu Zhan saw.

Lu Zhan was very surprised, and when he learned that this was the matter handled by the crown princess, he understood a little.

politely accepted this heavy gift, and went back to tell Qiao Xiaoruyi, Qiao Xiaoru thought about it and couldn't help but smile a little, the princess was interesting, and Concubine Mei was afraid that she had added another layer of anger in her heart at this time, right?

Lu Zhan snorted lightly: "Yesterday's lesson is just the beginning, if she is honest, it will be fine." If she dares to toss again, she will suffer. I'd like to see if my mother and prince choose her or me! ”

Hearing Qiao Xiaoru's laughter.

When the chief manager of the East Palace went back and said that Qiao Xiaoru had also fallen ill because of this incident, the crown prince and the crown princess felt even more uncomfortable.

Especially the prince, how could he misunderstand others like that before? asked the crown princess to take the time to visit in person.

The crown princess smiled and agreed.

Why is Concubine Mei angry? It's a gas sickness.

Originally, she was frightened into the water and was tossed by Qiao Xiaoru like that, but after being rescued on the boat, she learned that the "murderer" had become her life-saving benefactor, and no one could accept this reality!

Concubine Mei, who had just woken up at that time, almost fainted again!

It can be said that from the time she fell into the water to the time she returned to the East Palace, before the prince and the princess left, she has been turned over and over again I don't know how many times she has been angry.

The heart, liver and lungs hurt everywhere, and the pain made the stomach and intestines burn.

Coupled with being frightened, cold, and angry, how can you bear it? That night, he continued to fall into a coma with a high fever, and his body temperature gradually recovered at about dawn.

However, he was really sick, his limbs were weak, he coughed constantly, and he would have a dull pain when he breathed heavily in his chest and diaphragm, and he felt dizzy and dizzy when he was spinning.

Concubine Mei was angry and anxious, but she had to stay in bed to recuperate.

In contrast, Qiao Xiaoru is much luckier, or rather, she is used to being rough and rough in the countryside, and her body is naturally much better than Concubine Mei's.

Therefore, after pretending to lie down for two days, Qiao Xiaoru was still alive again.

The autumn hunting time is not short, and Qiao Xiaoru wants to determine the workshop plan for the production of various beauty and maintenance moisturizing and whitening products before leaving Beijing.

The place was bought by Gu Qingfeng before, at the foot of Yuzhao Peak, twenty miles away in the western suburbs of the capital.

Because the land was flat, it was full of uneven stones, and it was impossible to grow fruit trees or cultivate fields, so it was always deserted.

At that time, Gu Qingfeng looked at the place, it was not far from the water source, it was convenient to draw water regardless of the open and dark roads, and the place was spacious enough, flat and sunny, only one mile away from the official road, and only two miles away from the nearest village.

This is basically in line with Qiao Xiaoru's requirements, so he bought it.

Forty acres of land, plus the land deed, cost a total of three hundred and forty taels.

It is equivalent to the price of buying high-quality fertile land in a place like Suiyun County.

However, this is the capital, so it is not much.

Qiao Xiaoru planned to take a look in person before the autumn hunt, plan and plan, draw a drawing by himself, hire an experienced construction craftsman to help modify and rectify, and determine the drawings, so that Gu Qingfeng could call someone to start work according to the drawings.

At the same time, the various utensils and tools required can also be customized, and all kinds of utensils can be placed in the building when it is built.

When the autumn hunt returns, Qiao Xiaoru can select medicinal materials, spices, and flower farmers, and buy a large number of angelica, licorice, Xinyi, white pine resin, white poria, Du Heng, cloves, white gum, almonds, green wood incense, sweet rosin, tonka, white hibiscus, peony, etc., and when spring begins, it will start to be concocted.

Before that, it was necessary to go to the human tooth and select seven or eight more clever men and women to be responsible for concocting all kinds of ointments, creams, creams, waters, powders, pills, and rouge to be used in the future.

Because almost all the cash silver was reduced to zero and stored in the money village of the Marquis Mansion in Changchun, now the cash silver owned by Qiao Xiaoru and Lu Zhan adds up to less than a thousand taels.

If anyone asks Lu Zhan to invite guests to dinner on any day, I am afraid that one thousand taels will barely be enough to pay the bill. And when I went to the Mulan paddock, I didn't know what would happen, at least I had to prepare more than 100 taels of silver for the next person.

Therefore, at present, the silver for building the workshop is already stretched thin and unable to take it out in a place where everything is expensive in the capital.

happened to take advantage of the two days of "illness" to go through the various congratulatory gifts that I received from the canonization of the knighthood a while ago from beginning to end.

It's a pity that there are too few silver, all kinds of antique jade calligraphy and painting ornaments with auspicious names, etc., these things can not be sold, in case they are seen by the giver, then the fun can be great.
