When Su Liuer arrived at the backyard of the Prince's Mansion, Jiang Qingwan was tending to her variegated bonsai.
Her sleeves were rolled up, revealing her fair and slender arms.
Holding a small wooden shovel, he piled soil around the plants while instructing Li Dou, who was squatting down, to put in dark, murky fertilizer.
Hearing the thud, Li Dou jumped out alertly.
"Who are you?"
Jiang Qingwan tilted her head and glanced at it.
"The item has been found?"
Su Liuer nodded.
"Found it, come with me now."
Seeing that they knew each other, Li Dou then retreated to Jiang Qingwan's side and continued to squat down.
Jiang Qingwan handed him the wooden shovel.
"Be careful when mixing these ingredients in, don't damage the root."
Infusing spiritual energy can go to extremes, so it's important to be careful to maintain the proper balance.
Cultivating them with mixed nutrients should yield good results.
Lian'er brought over some clean water, washed her hands, and pointed to the pavilion. "Let's go there to cast a divination."
Su Liuer was stunned.
"Aren't you coming with me?"
Jiang Qingwan frowned.
"You don't have anything on you?"
Su Liuer subconsciously reached for her sleeve, but then quickly stopped.
"No."
"Go get it, I'll wait for you." Jiang Qingwan instructed Lian'er to prepare a stove. "Would you like tea or wine?"
Su Liuer choked again.
"You should come with me, I'm in a hurry."
"If you were in such a hurry, why didn't you bring your things?"
Jiang Qingwan narrowed her beautiful eyes, full of suspicion.
Su Liuer, who was usually very good at dealing with people, was left speechless.
She was in a very bad mood.
The master, who was like a god in her heart, actually married this weak woman who didn't even know how to use a sword.
She was still the principal wife.
Now that the imperial edict has been issued and the title of princess has been granted, why should her have to come and invite her if her master wants to see someone?
She felt a kind of irritation from not wanting to see people being affectionate, but being forced to watch by having her eyes pried open and being choked.
“My master wishes to see you, so he requests that you go to Huailou to have your fortune told.”
"I won't see you."
Jiang Qingwan's unwavering refusal drove Su Liuer even more frantic.
"Do you know who my master is? Why is he nowhere to be found?"
Lian'er had already brought over the stove.
Jiang Qingwan said, "Go and fetch the flower tea that Princess Qingrui sent."
After Lian'er left, she looked at Su Liu'er.
"No matter who it is, I will not see them if I do not wish to. I have accepted the hundred taels of gold, and I have promised to perform a divination for you, but I did not say that it had to be at Huai Lou. If you are really in a hurry, you should bring the things over as soon as possible and not delay."
Su Liuer's temper was about to explode. She walked into the pavilion and sat down opposite Jiang Qingwan, placing the things she had taken from her sleeve and the iron needles she had been holding onto the table.
"Let's divine the future."
Jiang Qingwan raised an eyebrow.
"Didn't you say you didn't bring it?"
Su Liuer pursed her lips and remained silent.
Jiang Qingwan suddenly became curious.
"Why did you trick me into going to Huai Lou? And who is your master? Do I know him?"
Su Liuer chuckled twice.
"Let's start the divination. Do you still want gold? I can add two hundred taels."
Jiang Qingwan coughed softly, almost choking on her own vomit.
While taking out a small compass from his purse, he remarked with a sigh, "Does Huai Lou make this much money?"
Although her previous shops were quite profitable, she didn't just casually spend hundreds of taels of gold.
Su Liuer chuckled twice more.
There's a feeling of frustration, like someone has robbed your home, yet you still have to go out of your way to earn money and send it to them.
Jiang Qingwan didn't understand her expression, so she asked Lian'er to bring over paper and pen, and then composed herself to begin divination.
Making comparisons of cross-hexagrams is slightly more complicated.
After she had read all the divination results, she realized that there was no map of the capital or its suburbs in her home.
She handed over the Xuan paper, saying, "I'll tell you how to interpret the hexagram. Can you find the location on the map?"
Looking at the obscure and difficult-to-understand characters she wrote, which were so few that they couldn't even form a sentence, Su Liuer twitched her lips and replied crisply.
"cannot."
Jiang Qingwan also felt that she was putting her in a difficult position.
After all, her master had said that she was a genius in Taoist cultivation, one in ten thousand.
This is a once-in-a-century event.
Naturally, not just anyone could understand her divination book.
But as soon as the imperial edict was issued, chaos erupted outside. Lian'er said that many people wanted to see the true face of this Ninth Prince's Consort, wondering if she was a natural vixen who could bewitch and seduce.
She was too lazy to go out and be watched like a monkey.
After a moment's thought, she stood up and walked out of the pavilion.
She remembered that there was a very detailed map of the capital in Mo Yunhan's bedroom.
It covers a wider and more detailed area than the one hanging in Huai Lou.
"I'm going to the front yard, please wait a moment."
forecourt?
Su Liuer looked at the royal palace.
She has never been here.
Given her status, she wasn't qualified to come.
As if possessed, she also stood up.
"I'll go too."
Jiang Qingwan turned around in surprise, her eyes filled with suspicion.
Su Liuer felt uncomfortable under her gaze and stiffened her neck to make up an excuse.
"What if you run away with a hundred taels of gold?"
Jiang Qingwan found her increasingly strange.
"Since you've found this place, you should know my relationship with Mo Yunhan. The front yard is his territory, and rumors say he's a capricious and ruthless devil. Aren't you afraid he'll chop your head off if he's unhappy with you coming with me?"
Su Liuer turned her face away awkwardly.
"If I don't want to go, I don't want to go. I didn't really want to go anyway."
Jiang Qingwan stared at her for a while longer.
"Your concerns are not unfounded. After all, one hundred taels of gold is no small sum. Let's do it together."
