Chapter 171 Be Careful
"Okay, then let's do as the princess says." After hearing this, Xu Qingyan smiled and nodded.
At this time, the women following behind Song Xiao'er began to get anxious. They hurriedly explained, "Princess, don't remember my name! The things sold in your shop are really useful and are a blessing to us women. Since I used the things in your shop, I hate the menstrual belts at home. I go to your shop to buy things every month. I am a loyal customer of your shop, and I don't look down on you. In fact, I admire you very much. Please don't stop me from buying things from your shop!"
"Yes! Princess, me too... me too... I really like the things you sell! Not only me, I also introduced them to my mother, and the girls in my family all like to use them."
"And me...Princess, please don't allow me to..."
At this time, many women stood up to speak for Xu Qingyan. This made Song Xiaoer's face very dark. She originally wanted to use this to laugh at Xu Qingyan and embarrass her, but she didn't expect that she would be praised by a lot of women! Is that thing really that useful? She has never used it before!
When she learned on the first day that Xu Qingyan opened a store to sell this kind of things, she just looked down on her and was full of contempt for Xu Qingyan, so she would not buy anything.
Xu Qingyue and Song Xiaoer had the same idea. She had never used it, but she kept laughing at Xu Qingyan in her heart, hoping to see her embarrassed. But the current situation was obviously not what she wanted.
"Empress Chun has arrived!" Just when Song Xiao'er and the others were extremely angry, the eunuch's sharp voice was heard. Everyone began to stand up and salute, and they saw Concubine Chun, wearing a beautiful red palace dress, walking towards them from a distance in a noble manner.
Concubine Chun enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention. After she sat down at the most honorable seat at the banquet, she glanced at the women present and paused when her gaze fell on Xu Qingyan and the others.
"Why are you all crowded over there?" Concubine Chun asked with a smile.
"Your Majesty, everyone is chatting here." One of the noble ladies broke the awkwardness and explained to Concubine Chun.
Concubine Chun didn't think much about it and asked them to sit down. Her purpose today was no longer Pei Jinyu, so she didn't have time to say anything more to them.
Concubine Chun was chatting and laughing with the wives of officials and unmarried women at the banquet, and soon what happened to Xu Qingyan and the others was forgotten.
Gu Yina was unfamiliar with and disliked the other noble ladies, so she naturally sat with Xu Qingyan and the others. The three of them got along well.
"Ah... I'm sorry! Princess, I didn't mean it. Please spare my life!"
Suddenly, when Gu Yina was not paying attention, a maid who was holding wine lost her balance and twisted her foot, and the wine spilled all over Gu Yina.
Today, Gui Na was wearing a cool, skin-friendly red silk dress. After being soaked by water, the dress clung to her body, outlining her slender figure. Fortunately, her dress was bright red; if it was white, she would have been exposed.
For this reason, Gu Yina inevitably scolded the maid a few words in anger: "You were just carrying water properly, but it spilled on me. How can the maids in this palace be so bad?"
She didn't have the habit of bringing spare clothes when she went out. Now that her clothes were wet, she had to go back home to change. Unfortunately, she hadn't played enough with Xu Qingyan and the others!
"How dare you! Slut, why don't you quickly ask someone to take the princess downstairs and change her into clean clothes!" Concubine Chun looked over here, scolded the maid a few words, and ordered another maid to take Gu Yina downstairs.
When Gu Yina heard that there were clothes to change, she did not refuse and got up and followed them.
Xu Qingyan, who was sitting at the side, frowned warily. [What a familiar plot! Isn't this something that often happens in palace fighting novels? First, wet the woman's clothes, trick her into changing clothes, and then take the opportunity to have someone destroy her innocence! Could it be that Concubine Chun wants Prince Yu to sleep with the princess? Bah! How can a piece of trash like Prince Yu be worthy of my bright and lovely Princess Gui Na! ]
Pei Jinyu, who was standing by, couldn't help but get angry after hearing Xu Qingyan's inner complaints: What? This Concubine Chun is thinking about Gu Yina again! Before, Concubine Chun and Prince Yu always wanted to plot against her with bad intentions. Now that she has been granted marriage to Prince Qin, they are planning to take Princess Louxi again! Prince Yu and Concubine Chun, this disgusting mother and son, are not worthy of the princess! No! She really couldn't stand their disgusting behavior, and she didn't want the princess to fall into the wolf's den.
So, Pei Jinyu looked at Xu Qingyan worriedly and said, "Sister-in-law, will the princess be in danger? After all, this Prince Yu was..."
Pei Jinyu hesitated to speak, thinking that Xu Qingyan must be able to understand what she meant.
Xu Qingyan's eyes turned when she heard this, and she said, "I think so too, so I plan to pretend to go to the bathroom, Jinyu, you stay here to cover for me."
"Okay!" Pei Jinyu nodded and agreed after hearing this.
So, Xu Qingyan quietly left the banquet while Concubine Chun was not paying attention and was looking for other noble ladies to be concubines for Prince Yu. She followed Gu Yina all the way to a remote wing room.
"Princess, the clothes are inside. You can see them on the cabinet as soon as you go in. I'll be waiting for you outside." At the door of the wing room, the maid of Prince Yu's mansion said respectfully.
Gui Na didn't think too much and walked in, leaving the maid from the palace and one of her own maids standing outside.
After the palace's maid waited for the door to be closed, she suddenly pulled out a handkerchief from her body and covered the maid's mouth and nose with it, causing her eyes to roll back and she fainted. Then, she dragged the fainted maid aside.
Xu Qingyan took advantage of this gap and quickly slipped into the house.
"Ah..." Gu Yina was about to scream, but suddenly Xu Qingyan covered her mouth.
"It's me! Don't make any noise! It's dangerous here, follow me!" Xu Qingyan reminded carefully.
After Xu Qingyan helped Gu Yina pick up the clothes on the table, she took her out through the window.
"What is going on?" Gu Yina was taken to a rockery by Xu Qingyan. She quickly changed her clothes and asked in confusion.
"Princess, if you want to know the reason, why not come with me to take a look now?" Xu Qingyan said as she pulled Gu Yina back to the outside of the room and found a secluded place to hide.
"Where is that person? Where did he go? You all should look for him carefully. Could he have been kidnapped?"
When Xu Qingyan and the others arrived, Prince Yu was already searching the room. Instantly, Gu Yina's eyes widened in shock, and she quickly understood the reason.
Suddenly, she gnashed her teeth and said angrily, "What a bastard, Concubine Chun and Prince Yu! How dare they plot against me! They are really birds of a feather with the Sixth Prince! Are they trying to follow the Sixth Prince's old path?"
Xu Qingyan held her back and consoled her, "Princess, don't worry! This time, we don't have evidence, so I'm afraid we can't do anything to Prince Yu. But you have to be on guard against this person in the future."
However, Gui Na's face turned green, and she smiled evilly, "Who said that you can't take revenge without evidence? Just wait, I'll show you what I'm going to do next!"
