Shudu.
After Lu Jingxuan arrived here, he separated from Leng Qingqiu. Leng Qingqiu was too lazy to care what Lu Jingxuan did. She only needed to complete the tasks assigned to her by Pei Yun.
Pei Yun asked Lu Jingxuan to come with her, which made Leng Qingqiu feel a little unhappy, thinking that Pei Yun did not believe in her ability to do things.
Although it was Lu Jingxuan who suggested to come along, Pei Yun said that he didn't really trust her after agreeing, which made Leng Qingqiu feel that she had to prove herself.
How could I not be able to complete such a simple task?
Now Lu Jingxuan doesn't know what to do, so it's just right for me to complete it alone and let the master know that I can do more than just killing people.
Qimeng Clothing Shop.
This is the shop opened by Xiao Zhiruo. Although Leng Qingqiu has never been here, she found out after a little inquiry that the prince's daughter opened a clothing store. This is no secret in Shu.
Moreover, the dresses launched have become very popular in Shudu. When Leng Qingqiu walks on the street, he can see many women wearing horse-faced skirts.
Soon, she arrived outside the Qimeng Clothing Shop. She did not look her original self, but had put on makeup in order not to be recognized.
Otherwise, if he recognized her, he would have guessed that Pei Yun might have returned.
Although I think it is impossible for Xiao Cheng to send the Black Feather Guards to keep an eye on this place, it's better to be cautious. I, Leng Qingqiu, am not a brainless person with big breasts. I will never be careless when I need to be cautious. I haven't been a killer for nothing for all these years.
The clothing shop is very large. Three adjacent shops were connected to form one big store. It was also very lively inside, with a lot of people. Various silks and satins were hung all over the walls, and dozens of ladies were choosing their favorite dresses.
Leng Qingqiu mixed in with these women and quickly scanned the area, but did not see Xiao Zhiruo. There was a house behind the clothing shop, and Leng Qingqiu wanted to go in, but was stopped by a maid.
"Girl, you can't go in the back."
Leng Qingqiu asked, "Is the princess here? I've ordered the horse-faced skirt from you for a month, and it's not ready yet?"
The maid said, "It's no use for you to ask the princess. There are too many people ordering horse-faced skirts now, and the embroiderers are working day and night. What's your number, young lady? I can help you ask about the progress."
Leng Qingqiu deliberately frowned, "I'm in a hurry to go on a long trip, and I don't know when I'll be back. Since you still want to wait, then call out your manager and return my money. I don't want it."
"this……"
It was the first time that the maid saw someone taking off the horse-faced skirt.
The orders for these men and women in Shudu are all scheduled for three months later. No matter how long it takes, they are willing to wait and no one has ever come to cancel their order.
"What? You can't retreat yet. Get out of my way. I'll find your manager."
After Leng Qingqiu finished speaking, she pushed the maid away and walked into the yard at the back.
The courtyard is paved with blue bricks and dotted with a few plum trees, making it look quiet and elegant. There are four side rooms on the left and right, with the words "Embroidery Room" hung on the doors, and many female workers are busy making clothes and dresses inside.
"Young lady, please stay!"
I heard the maid's scream behind me. I never thought that someone would dare to trespass into the clothing shop run by the princess. The back yard is where the embroiderers work, and that is a trade secret.
The method of making the horse-faced skirt cannot be learned by others.
Leng Qingqiu ignored the maid's screams behind her and walked straight towards an embroidery room. Just as she was about to push the door, it opened automatically and a woman walked out. She was about to scold.
Leng Qingqiu's face lit up with joy, and he quickly pulled the woman and said, "Qinghe."
Qing He was stunned. The woman in front of him looked unfamiliar, but he seemed to have seen her somewhere before. However, her voice was familiar. He asked uncertainly, "Miss Leng?"
"It's me."
"Didn't you go on a diplomatic mission to Southern Xinjiang with Lord Junma? Why are you here? And why does your face look different than before?"
Qinghe was a little confused. The Leng Qingqiu in front of her looked somewhat similar to the Leng Qingqiu she knew, but also different. If it weren't for the same voice, she would definitely not recognize him if they walked on the street.
At this time, the maid ran over and Qinghe waved her hand to let her go out.
"Qinghe, hurry back to the mansion and ask the princess to come here. This matter is very important and must not be known to anyone, especially the prince, otherwise the princess' life will be in danger."
Qing He was shocked when she heard Leng Qingqiu's words. She wanted to ask in detail, but Leng Qingqiu said, "Don't ask. This matter is very complicated and cannot be explained in a short time. You just need to go back and tell the princess to bring her here."
Qing He asked, "Is the County Master back too?"
She was also Pei Yun's woman, but a maidservant. Sometimes when Xiao Zhiruo and others could not withstand Pei Yun's firepower, they would pull Qinghe to block it for a while.
Leng Qingqiu nodded, and Qinghe's face lit up. To be honest, she missed Pei Yun very much. Now that she had become a maid, she would never marry anyone else in her life. She could only stay with Pei Yun and serve him well.
Although he didn't know why Leng Qingqiu was so mysterious, she looked very serious and solemn. Besides, it was a matter concerning the princess' life, so Qinghe didn't dare to neglect it.
"I'll go back to the mansion to find the young lady now."
Leng Qingqiu warned again: "Don't let anyone know that I have met you, and don't let anyone know that the county master is back, okay? Otherwise, not only the county master will be in danger, but you will be in danger too."
"Got it. I won't tell anyone."
"Well, go ahead, I'll wait for you here."
Qinghe nodded and went out.
…
Palace.
In the boudoir, Xiao Zhiruo sat alone in front of the window, her chin resting on her hand, staring at the trees outside the window in a daze. She began to miss Pei Yun on the first day he left.
It has been more than a month, but there is still no news. I don’t know how the mission to the Southern Barbarians is progressing. I hope nothing goes wrong.
