In the afternoon, everyone split into two groups. Gao Xili and the others went to discuss state affairs while Gao Xiyue and Song Xiaobei went to the streets. They had agreed to meet at the Capital.
When the owner of the duck shop saw the two girls who had helped him solve the problem in the morning, he wanted to get close to them. If he knew how to deal with the ghost-like eggs, he would have more ways to make money. Seeing that they were followed by servant girls and guards, their imposing manner made him shrink back, and he swallowed his words.
Song Xiaobei walked into the bookstore and did not find any books that she was interested in. She went to a few more stores to buy Qi Hui's present. She chatted with Gao Xiyue as they walked and talked about " The Fairy Match."
"Xiaoyue, is your emperor brother good to you? When it's his birthday, bring this story to the stage. This will be more meaningful than any gift. Your brother will be able to feel your sister's feelings.”
"Brother Emperor is good to all of us. I also like acting. But I'm not as capable as my sister. I'm afraid I'll mess things up.”
"Don't be afraid. It doesn't matter if you screw it up. Failure is the mother of success.”
"Sister, why don't we open a big theater in the capital with Fifth Brother and Seventh Brother and perform 'The Butterfly Lovers' and 'The Celestial Beings.' We can make a lot of money. The name of the theater was 'Elixir Yang'.”Gao Xiyue was fascinated by acting and said excitedly.
"That's a great idea. Alright, it's a deal." Song Xiaobei thought, Isn't this similar to a modern cinema? It was really a good way to earn money.
As they walked, they unknowingly arrived at the entrance of 'The Best in the Capital.' The restaurant's decor was exquisite, and the restaurant was bustling with people. There was an endless stream of guests. It indeed lived up to its reputation.
The waiter in the shop warmly led everyone to the private room upstairs. They heard the customers constantly clicking on "The Best in Beijing".”They also ordered a portion, as well as other dishes.
"Miss, please wait a moment. I'll be right there.”The shop assistant was all smiles. Firstly, it was because of their work relationship. Secondly, the two ladies were as beautiful as flowers. It was obvious that they were of noble status and easygoing people. He left the room. After a while, he knocked on the door and came in again. With a troubled expression, he smiled and said,"I'm really sorry, but there's only one serving of 'The Best in the Capital' left. The guest from the Wind Restaurant next door has also ordered this dish. After waiting for an hour, he would immediately send it over to the young miss.”
Gao Xiyue had never received such a cold reception before. She said angrily,"An hour? Wait for a while. I'll watch while others eat. We'll negotiate with the neighbors.”
She pulled Song Xiaobei to the door of the Wind Room, knocked on the door, and pushed it open. There was only a young man inside. He was the Fourth Prince of Xia Country, Leng Xintian.
"Young Master, we've traveled a long way to come here." Gao Xiyue smiled and said,"Can you give us the title of 'One of the Best in the Capital?'”
"I've come from a thousand miles away." Leng Xintian refused. In his eyes, the two pretty girls were nothing more than a dish.
"Have you ever heard of the saying,'A gentleman has the ability to make others happy?'"Gao Xiyue asked patiently.”
Leng Xintian smiled and said,"It's good not to be a gentleman in front of delicious food." How about this, this young master invites the two young ladies to enjoy it together, both sides are beautiful, this method is very good?”
"I don't care. Sister, let's go." Gao Xiyue blushed and glared at him angrily, muttering,""What a bastard!"
The two girls turned to leave. At this moment, the door was pushed open and three men came in. It was obvious that they were master and servant. The master looked somewhat similar to the man in the room. He was Leng AoTian. One of his followers was Dian, and the other was Leng Xin Tian's guard, Tang Shan.
"It's you!" Gao Xiyue and Song Xiaobei both recognized the man in front of them as the man in white from the silver incident.
"It's the two young ladies. Thank you again for speaking up for justice.”Leng Aotian bowed and thanked him. He saw Gao Xiyue was a little unhappy and asked,""May I know why Young Lady is angry? Can you tell me?"
Song Xiaobei told him what had happened. Leng Aotian didn't say anything and gave up the dish. Gao Xiyue proudly made a face at Leng Xintian. Under the influence of Song Xiaobei, she sometimes forgot her identity as a princess.
Back in the private room, Gao Xiyue said happily,""Sister is really good. As the saying goes, good people will be rewarded. This saying is correct. I want to learn from my sister. That person was really too much. He even said 'thousands of miles away.' Is he as far away as us?”
"Xiaoyue, don't be angry."
At this moment, Gao Xili and the others came in. The waiter was serving the dishes. Song Xiaobei couldn't help but laugh when the highlight piece was served.
"It's a blessing in life for me to meet an old friend in a foreign land.”
She gestured for everyone to sit down and demonstrated how to eat. He commented on the shortcomings of the dishes.
"Sister, have you eaten it before?"
"My hometown also has this dish. It's quite famous. It's called Peking Duck.”
"Sister, this roast duck tastes good. Do you eat it often?"
"I ate very little."
"Why? More troublesome than the Three Treasures?"
"The main reason is NoMoney.”
"What do you mean?"
"Everyone, guess."
Everyone in the room was guessing what he meant.
Everyone spoke freely in the Rain Room, while the Wind Room was silent. In the beginning, after Gao Xiyue and the others left, Leng Aotian wanted to say something, but Leng Xintian signaled him to keep quiet. It turned out that the two rooms were blocked by wooden boards and were not soundproof at all. He had heard everything that Song Xiaobei and the others had said after they entered the room. It wasn't that he didn't want to be humble, but he just wanted to tease the two girls on a whim. The communication between him and his Imperial Brother was to dip his fingers in the tea and write a few simple words on the table.
The room in the Rain Room was noisy and lively. Everyone guessed a lot, but Rose guessed right.
"Rose, nice!" Song Xiaobei said with a smile. The remuneration we earned from our work paid for all kinds of expenses, including the expenses of firewood, rice, oil, and salt. We also had to buy daily necessities. There was not much money left. This dish was too expensive. Ordinary people could not afford it and could only eat it occasionally.”
Everyone listened with sad expressions on their faces.
Song Xiaobei chuckled and said,"Don't look at me like that. Why do I feel like I'm in 'The Little Match Girl?'”
"Sister, what is 'The Little Match Girl?”
Song Xiaobei gave a simple explanation to Match and told him the story. The girls 'eyes turned red.
Peng Yi asked the question he had wanted to ask,""Miss can speak foreign language?"
"I don't know if 'No Money' is a foreign language. We call it English. There were many languages in the world that were not convenient to communicate with. English was the international language. Nodding, yes, shaking, NO, come, go.”
Peng Yi nodded excitedly.”
"Then let's go to another country to play. He looked at the blonde-haired, blue-eyed foreigner.”
"Sister, what is a foreigner? Why did he have blonde hair and blue eyes?”
"Our race is different. We have black hair and black eyes. They had yellow hair and blue eyes. They were foreigners, or foreigners for short.‘A year's plan is in spring. When spring comes and the flowers bloom, we set off for an overseas trip.”
"No, the sea is too dangerous. The people of Xia have never been there before.”Gao Xili was frightened and immediately refused.
"Really?" Song Xiaobei looked at Gao Xili and teased him.
"Absolutely not, unless Xiaobei can fly.”It was rare for the Cold King to crack a joke.
" Every time I'm alone, I'm strong. Every time I'm hurt, I don't shed tears. I know that I always have a pair of invisible wings that can fly me past despair…" Song Xiaobei sang as she walked.
Everyone was immersed in the beautiful song.
"Then I'll let you guess what I love you for. Hint. This was a phrase that girls liked to hear.”Song Xiaobei questioned everyone again and suddenly said,""The soundproofing of this room is really good. It was bustling here, but it was quiet beside them. It felt like there was no one around. Could it be that they couldn't wait and left?”
Song Xiaobei's words almost made the Leng brothers choke on their tea, and they quickly covered their mouths with a handkerchief.
After the meal, Gao Xili and his group left the restaurant with satisfaction.
Leng Aotian let the guards sit down. Dian and Tang Shan were flattered and careful. They were also intoxicated by the sound of nature. After a long time, Leng Xin Tian could not help but laugh out loud. They chatted while eating.
"How did Imperial Brother know them?"
Leng Aotian didn't give a clear answer. He only talked about the problem he encountered that day. Leng Xin Tian thought for a while but had no idea.
"Ants and water."
"This must have been thought of by Miss Xiaobei.”Leng Xintian asked as he came to a realization. He felt that she was different from the rest.
Leng Aotian nodded and instructed his younger brother not to be rude to them. He didn't expect her to know about foreigners. She seemed to know foreign languages too. She was really a jewel.
This time, he pretended to be his younger brother's follower because he wanted to understand the state of Yue.
What they didn't expect was that after a day, the two sides would become enemies again.
……
Shangguan Yu's purple brocade cotton robe was accidentally caught by the firewood in the cook's hand and tore. This robe was personally made by Lady Shangguan and Shangguan Yu cherished it very much. The most important thing was that there was a banquet in the palace the next day, and he had no clothes to change into. It was getting late and the shop was closed.
"Yu, don't worry. Xiaoyue and I will buy one for you tomorrow.”Song Xiaobei comforted as she took her size.
The next day, two beautiful women rushed to the clothing store and reported size to the store owner. The shopkeeper introduced them enthusiastically and let the two of them choose from a batch of clothes.
"This one." The two pretty girls took a fancy to the same dress at the same time. The cream-white brocade robe was embroidered with light green bamboo.
The shopkeeper praised the two young ladies for their good taste. Just as he was about to pack it up, someone reached out and grabbed the dress.
Gao Xiyue turned her head and saw that this person was Leng Xintian. "Stinky duck," she blurted out.
"This young master wants this dress.”
"Stinky duck. Not only is he black, but he's also ugly. His legs are short, and pigs are prettier than him. Wouldn't it be a waste to wear such clothes on him?”Gao Xiyue said, feeling a little guilty.
Although Leng Xin Tian was not as tall and handsome as Gao Xili, and was not as refined as Shangguan Yu. In fact, he was quite good-looking. His facial features were outstanding, and his skin color was very healthy. He was a young man full of vitality and sunshine.
"You, you, you…shrew!" Leng Xin Tian was almost speechless. Growing up, he had never heard such vile words.
Song Xiaobei took the opportunity to pay the money, took the clothes, and prepared to leave with Gao Xiyue.
Leng Xintian blocked the door first and completely clashed with the two girls."Either you leave your clothes behind, or you take me down.”
Song Xiaobei didn't want to be entangled with others, so she handed the clothes to Gao Xiyue. She grabbed Leng Xintian's right elbow with her left hand and used her buttocks to press against his waist. She exerted force and threw him over her shoulder beautifully. His movements were elegant and smooth, and he did it in one go. Before Leng Xin Tian could react, he was thrown to the ground. Someone saw him and cheered loudly. The two pretty girls did not even turn their heads and walked far away.
Leng Aotian walked over with a smile on his face. He pulled his younger brother up and the two of them walked out. The shop owner secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
"Imperial brother, you're still laughing. How embarrassing!" Leng Xin Tian had never thought that he would fall into the hands of a woman and lose all his face.
"Fourth brother, thank you. She was really a mystery. No wonder King Leng treated her like a treasure.”
"Royal brother, who is the other woman?”
"Gao Xiyue, the Tenth Princess of Liang Country."
"That shrew is a princess?" Leng Xintian found it unbelievable.
"As long as Song Xiaobei is by my side, anything is possible. Would King Leng say 'unless Xiaobei can fly'?”
"Imperial brother, are you a little tempted to let her enter the palace?”
Leng Ao had never thought about this problem before. Now, he was a little tempted and wanted to treasure this treasure. He didn't know what to do. He had never coaxed a woman before, so he couldn't help but envy King Leng.
"Sister, what kind of kung fu is this?" Gao Xiyue asked excitedly. Teach Xiaoyue."
"This is just a normal self-defense technique against ordinary people. Xiaoyue was a golden branch and jade leaves. There were many experts around her, so she didn't need to learn.”
Gao Xiyue could only give up. When they returned to the posthouse, Shangguan Yu tried on the clothes and Song Xiaobei gave him a thumbs up to show that they fit. Shangguan Yu looked at the woman in front of him and hesitated. In the end, he only said the word 'thank you'.
