Just then, the shop door was gently pushed open, and a breeze blew by, bringing a faint scent of flowers.
Everyone's eyes subconsciously turned to the door, only to see the princess appear in the Beauty Pavilion again.
She was still wearing a veil and an exquisite straw hat on her head. Her eyes under the brim of the hat were like twinkling stars in the night sky, revealing a mysterious and moving light.
She stood quietly at the door with a graceful figure, emitting a noble and cold temperament, as if she was out of tune with the bustling environment around her.
She was still wearing a veil, which was like a thin cloud, vaguely covering her face.
She also wore an exquisite hat on her head, with the brim hanging low, covering her face tightly, leaving only a pair of bright eyes exposed, like the twinkling stars in the night sky, revealing a mysterious and moving light.
She walked into the Beauty Pavilion with light steps and graceful posture.
The guests and waiters in the pavilion couldn't help but follow her gaze, attracted by the noble temperament she exuded.
She looked around the store, as if searching for something.
Soon, her eyes locked on Su Huaiyue who was busy, and she walked straight towards Su Huaiyue.
Walking up to Su Huaiyue, she bowed slightly, her voice as soft as the breeze blowing through the leaves, and said, "Madam Wei, I came here today to continue the treatment. I wonder... is it convenient?"
As she spoke, her hands naturally folded together, and then suddenly changed to lightly pinching the handkerchief.
The first one was the palace rule, and the princess obviously didn't react to it.
But fortunately, Su Huaiyue did not notice this.
Su Huaiyue raised her head and saw that it was her. A gentle smile immediately appeared on her face. She nodded and said, "Of course it's convenient. Please follow me, young lady."
As she spoke, Su Huaiyue put down the beauty jars she was organizing, gently made a gesture of invitation, and led the princess inside.
The two were walking one after the other. When they passed by Wei Che, the princess suddenly stopped.
Her eyes seemed to be attracted by a magnet and stayed on Wei Che for a long time.
Those eyes were full of attachment and reluctance, as if hiding endless stories.
She opened her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end nothing came out.
Wei Che noticed the princess's gaze, was slightly stunned, and raised his head in confusion.
His eyes met with the princess's for a moment, and in that moment, he felt an inexplicable familiarity and complex emotion from the princess's eyes.
Before he could think about it carefully, the princess looked away, as if she suddenly came to her senses. A slight blush appeared on her face, and she hurried to catch up with Su Huaiyue. After a while, she reluctantly followed Su Huaiyue away.
Wei Yunrou, who was standing by, saw all of this. The corners of her mouth rose slightly, and a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes.
She tiptoed to Wei Che's side, like a nimble little deer, with light and agile movements.
She reached out and gently patted Wei Che's shoulder. The strength was just right, attracting Wei Che's attention without making him feel uncomfortable.
Then, she tilted her head, blinked playfully, and with a sly smile on her lips, she jokingly said, "Fifth brother, are you attracted to her? Look at your eyes, they're almost glued to her. She's from the capital, and she's so generous. Maybe you can really have a relationship with her."
As she spoke, she gently bumped Wei Che's arm, and the smile on her face became even more intense.
Wei Che was brought back to reality by Wei Yunrou's words. His expression instantly became serious, and a hint of displeasure appeared in his eyes.
He frowned slightly, looking directly at Wei Yunrou, and said seriously, "Yunrou, stop talking nonsense. I just felt that her figure and temperament were somewhat familiar, and I didn't have any other thoughts. This girl is of extraordinary status and her origins are mysterious. We should respect her and must not make random speculations behind her back. If these inappropriate remarks were to get out, it would not only bring us trouble, but also damage the reputation of the Wei family."
His voice was steady and powerful, with unquestionable majesty.
Wei Yunrou had long been accustomed to her fifth brother's seriousness and steadiness, and was not surprised by his serious expression at the moment.
She stuck out her tongue, smiled mischievously, and said with her big eyes rolling around, "Fifth Brother, I know I was wrong. I was just joking. I promise I won't say that again. So don't be so stern."
As she spoke, she reached out and gently tugged at Wei Che's sleeve, a flattering look on her face.
Wei Che looked at Wei Yunrou's quirky appearance, his eyes softened slightly, but his tone remained serious: "I know you are joking, but there are some things that can't be said casually even as a joke. We are in a difficult situation now, so we need to act more cautiously. For this girl, we only do our duty to serve her, and don't delve into other things."
He sighed slightly and reached out to pat Wei Yunrou's head gently.
Wei Yunrou smiled and nodded, saying, "Fifth brother, I'll remember this. Don't worry, I know what's going on."
She winked mischievously again, then turned around and continued doing what she was doing.
Wei Che nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I'm glad to know. We still have things to do, so let's get busy first."
As he spoke, he straightened his clothes, turned his attention to the affairs in the store again, and devoted himself to his work again. However, the familiar shadow in his mind still flashed from time to time.
The afternoon sun lazily sprinkled on the Wei family's courtyard. Wei Ersao sat bored in front of the window of her room, looking out with empty eyes.
She raised her wrist slightly, habitually wanting to ask the maid to make her a pot of the fragrant tea she loved to drink so that she could enjoy this leisurely time.
"Cui'er, go make me a pot of Biluochun tea. It should be freshly picked this year. Be careful with it." Wei Ersao ordered nonchalantly, with a bit of her usual domineering tone in her voice.
The maid Cui'er ran into the room with an empty teapot in her arms, looking troubled. She stammered, "Madam, we're out of Biluochun. We finished it a few days ago and haven't had time to buy more."
Mrs. Wei frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure flashing through her heart. She said, "If you don't have it, go buy some. Can't you even handle such a small matter? Do you want me to go there myself?"
Cui'er bit her lip, her face showing an even more embarrassed expression. Her hand holding the teapot unconsciously tightened, and she whispered, "Madam, it's not that I don't want to buy it, it's really... it's really that we don't have enough money to buy this tea. If you want to drink it, you can only buy a lower-quality tea."
Wei Ersao's face instantly turned gloomy, her eyes filled with anger and unwillingness.
She slammed the table, and the "bang" sound was particularly harsh in the silent room.
