Chapter 248 My Sister is Awesome
The voice of a servant clearly reached Doctor Qi's ears. He was also puzzled. The newly opened pharmacy opposite was really strange. The medicine prices were ridiculously high, and they didn't sell the medicine. They only asked people to bring prescriptions to his Baicaotang to get the medicine.
Doctor Qi frowned slightly and thought to himself: There are many pharmacies here, each with its own merits, but this is the first time I've heard of a pharmacy doing things like this.
He thought of the lively lion dance scene in the morning and couldn't help but feel a little more curious.
Doctor Qi shook his head and sighed inwardly: This world is really full of strange things. It is unheard of to open a drugstore without selling medicine. Although he had doubts in his mind, he did not care too much.
At this time, Lan Xiyue closed the pharmacy.
"Yueyue, is it closed already?"
Lan Xiyue wiped the sweat from her forehead. It was too hot and she didn't want to stay any longer. "Well, I won't watch it today."
At this moment, An Yi drove the carriage slowly and stopped in front of the drugstore.
He got off the carriage, walked up to Lan Xiyue, and said respectfully, "Princess, the house has been bought. Would you like to go and take a look now?"
Upon hearing this, Lan Xiyue nodded and said, "Okay, let's go and take a look." As she said that, she walked over and prepared to get on the carriage.
Seeing this, Qian Duoduo said, "Yueyue, I won't go. I have to visit my grandmother for lunch at noon today. She is in her villa outside the city."
Xiaohong, who was standing by, heard this and complained in her heart: "My lady, you finally remembered that you promised the old lady to accompany her today. I thought you had forgotten." However, she did not say this out loud, but just stood aside silently.
Lan Xiyue heard this and looked at the sky: "You don't have a carriage now, it's so hot, how about I give you a ride?"
When Qian Duoduo heard this, her eyes lit up and she smiled instantly, saying, "Yueyue is so nice!" As she said that, she couldn't wait to climb onto the carriage, as if she was afraid that Lan Xiyue would go back on her word.
Lan Xiyue was stunned and speechless, thinking to herself: Sister, you are so rude, I was just being polite! It's so hot, ah!
Qian Duoduo saw that Lan Xiyue hadn't gotten into the carriage yet, so he lifted the curtain and said, "Yueyue, why are you standing there? Get in the carriage."
Lan Xiyue sighed and got on the carriage.
After the group sat down, An Yi drove the carriage along the bluestone road, slowly heading out of the city. On the way, he bought some snacks at a snack shop.
Inside the carriage, Qian Duoduo held Lan Xiyue's arm, resting his head on her shoulder, and said coquettishly, "Yueyue, you are so kind. Not only did you send me to the villa outside the city, but you also bought a lot of cakes for my grandmother."
Lan Xiyue pushed her away in disgust, "It's so hot, stay away from me. I said you were really rude, didn't you see that I was being polite?"
"Hmph! I don't care. It was you who wanted to send me off anyway. Yueyue, you're fine anyway, so just think of it as accompanying me to see grandma."
"Okay, I'll go with you. By the way, Duoduo, does your grandmother live alone in a villa outside the city?"
Qian Duoduo nodded, "Yes, only a few maids around Grandma and Madam Zhou were accompanying her."
Lan Xiyue's eyes flashed with curiosity when she heard this. "Why does your grandmother live in a villa outside the city?"
Qian Duoduo sighed, "It's my father, the one who always fights with his concubines. He's always jealous of each other, and whenever there's something wrong, he goes to my grandmother and asks her to judge. My grandmother is old, how could she stand such a torment? She simply went to her own courtyard outside the city, saying that she wanted to live in peace and quiet, out of sight, out of mind."
"Every family has its own problems!"
Qian Duoduo was a little angry, "Yueyue, why do you think a man would marry so many concubines? You scheme against me all day long, and I scheme against you. It's so annoying."
"Yes, it can only be said that this is the sadness of this era."
"That's right, Yueyue, in our Dongyao Kingdom, only the eldest princess is powerful."
Lan Xiyue was a little confused, "Hmm? Princess?"
Qian Duoduo glanced at Lan Xiyue with some confusion, his tone filled with disbelief, "Yueyue, are you confused by the heat? I've heard a little about the eldest princess's deeds, how could you not know? I heard that the eldest princess kept many concubines in her mansion, all because of her husband... Well, let's not talk about it."
At this point, Qian Duoduo suddenly stood up, but because of the excessive force, her head slammed against the roof of the carriage. "Ah..." She was in so much pain that she saw stars and tears welled up in her eyes, looking very funny.
Seeing this, Lan Xiyue quickly pulled her back to sit down and asked angrily, "Why are you so excited?"
An Yi, who was outside the carriage, heard the shouting from inside and quickly pulled the reins. He asked with concern, "Princess, did something happen inside the carriage?"
Lan Xiyue coughed lightly and replied calmly, "Nothing, just keep driving."
Qian Duoduo covered his forehead, which was hurt from being hit, and said with a grin, "I just remembered it suddenly. Why did that middle-aged man look so familiar to me? It turned out to be the Grand Prince Consort! Tsk tsk, I never thought he would appear in the pharmacy. It turns out that the rumors are true. The Grand Prince Consort is not good."
Lan Xiyue raised her eyebrows slightly, searching the original owner's memory. The eldest princess and the prince consort seemed to have a very good relationship back then. Not long after the marriage, the eldest princess gave birth to a daughter, Nalan Mei. A year later, there were rumors that the prince consort was not good in that aspect, so the eldest princess secretly kept a lover in the princess mansion. Later, she kept the lover openly and indulged in pleasure all day long.
Lan Xiyue frowned slightly, "It's not that the Grand Prince Consort can't do it, but the time is short. I can't let the Princess have her fun, right? Otherwise, where will Princess Nalanmei come from?"
"Ah?" Qian Duoduo didn't understand and was a little confused.
Lan Xiyue couldn't help but chuckle, her tone carrying a hint of amusement: "But, the eldest princess seems to be enjoying it."
Qian Duoduo stared at Lan Xiyue with wide eyes, looking at her incredulously. "Hey! Yueyue, don't you think the Grand Prince Consort is a bit too cowardly again? He can actually tolerate his wife doing such a thing?"
Lan Xiyue shook her head gently and said calmly, "Life is short, just a few decades long, so there's nothing wrong with enjoying life while you can. Men can have three wives and four concubines, so why can't women? Besides, the Nalan Mansion is just a scholarly family with no power or influence. How can they control the eldest princess? Even the emperor and the empress dowager turn a blind eye."
"Yueyue, you are right. The prince consort has no power and influence. Even if he is angry, he can't do anything to the princess. But, Yueyue, you can't do that. You must not have such thoughts! Your future husband is the regent, who has all the power in the world. If you dare to hug him left and right, wow, I feel terrified just thinking about that scene." As she spoke, she shook her body exaggeratedly, as if she had really seen something terrible.
Lan Xiyue glanced at her unhappily, a playful smile curling up at the corner of her mouth: "If he dares to take a concubine, I will divorce him and then hug him left and right. Believe it or not, I, Lan Xiyue, will keep my word."
Qian Duoduo gave her a thumbs up and said, "My sister is awesome."
