Chapter 53: Your Majesty, do you want to try it?
But she didn't dare to compete with the princess.
The eldest princess is not someone who is easy to mess with. Before the regent took charge of the government, it was the eldest princess who served as regent, and she had great power.
Her father is the Minister of Personnel. Although he is in charge of the appointment and assessment of officials, he cannot be compared with the royal family.
I can only hate myself for acting too late.
"Then I'll book for next month."
"Okay, please follow me and pay the deposit."
"Bai Qinghuan, you see the princess bought two sets at a time, why didn't you buy any? Are you short of money? I can give you two bottles."
Bai Qinghuan's mouth twitched: "Thank you Miss Chen for your kindness, I don't need these."
"Yes, you are a person whose engagement was broken off by the royal family. Who are you going to put on makeup for?"
She looked so superior and sympathetic, and Bai Qinghuan almost couldn't maintain her expression.
"Yes, I am naturally not as good as Miss Chen. As the daughter of the Minister of Personnel, she will definitely marry into the royal family in the future. With the rouge from Ningxiang Pavilion, she will definitely make a big splash in the capital."
"That is."
Thinking of the Third Prince, a hint of shyness flashed across Chen Qingrui's eyes. She looked at Bai Qinghuan with proud contempt and followed the maid downstairs.
She must enter the Third Prince's Palace. As for Bai Qinghuan, she is not even worthy of carrying her shoes in the future.
Downstairs, the maid told her that she needed to pay half of the deposit, which was one hundred and fifty taels.
Chen Qingrui felt the pain in her heart. The whole set she had already bought cost three hundred taels of silver. If she paid the deposit, her pocket money for half a year would be gone.
But in order to become more beautiful, she endured it. In the corner downstairs, she looked hatefully at Princess Changle, who had taken someone else's love, and followed the maid to pay the deposit.
After Chen Qingrui left, Princess Changle didn't take it to heart at all. With Chen Qingrui's big-breasted and brainless appearance, even if she married into the royal family, she would either be a stumbling block or a knife in the hands of others, so there was nothing to worry about.
He took out the small bronze mirror and admired his face.
"How's that? Now you won't have to worry about selling your rouge."
"It's all the princess's credit. How about I give you a share of the Ningxiang Pavilion's profits?"
By getting the princess to invest, no one would dare to cause trouble for her Ningxiang Pavilion in the future.
"What did you say? Am I a person who is greedy for money?"
"Your Highness is so noble, of course I don't like it, but I just want to give it to you. Will Your Highness give me the honor?"
Princess Changle certainly understood Bai Qinghuan's meaning and went along with it.
Who would complain about having too much money?
Before leaving, Bai Qinghuan asked Shanhu to spread the word that the daughter of the Minister of Personnel and Princess Changle both had their eyes on the plum blossom rouge from Ningxiang Pavilion, and had even had an unpleasant argument over a few bottles of rouge.
Once this news gets out, Ningxiang Pavilion will instantly become a place where girls in the boudoir will scramble to buy things.
Twelve complete sets of rouge and powder are produced every month, and each set costs three hundred taels, which means three thousand six hundred taels.
Of course, there are also items with different floral scents, such as skin care creams, moisturizers, etc.
Excluding costs, she could earn at least five thousand taels of silver a month.
This is because there are fewer flowers in winter, and in spring, you can have a set of each flower.
This is just one store. If there were more stores, she would definitely count the bills until her hands were sore.
This time Chen Qingrui was lucky and was able to make a reservation for next month. But after Ningxiang Pavilion became famous, she wouldn’t be able to make a reservation for the month after next.
......
Regent's Palace
The Regent felt that the study was getting hotter and hotter. "Xishun, take all the braziers out."
Xishun didn't dare to ask why and just did as he was told.
Even after all the braziers were removed, the Prince Regent still felt extremely hot. He could not bear to read a single word of the memorial in his hand and threw it on the desk in a rage.
"Go to inspect the camp outside Beijing."
Shu Feng hurriedly followed, not knowing what the prince was doing. He was really worried.
They rode through the street at high speed. Shu Feng spotted the Bai family's carriage with his sharp eyes. He had also seen the coachman before.
"Your Majesty, it's Miss Bai."
The Regent suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction Shufeng was looking. Bai Qinghuan happened to lift the curtain of the car and met his eyes.
Bai Qinghuan's eyes seemed calm, but the surprise that burst out when he saw him made the Regent feel like a feather was passing through his heart.
Also, her face seems to be thinner, is it because the injury hasn’t healed yet?
The thought flashed through his mind, and he tightened the reins in his hand. The horse felt the pain and ran faster.
The Regent then turned around and ran towards the city gate. Shu Feng followed closely behind him, but he also felt that the prince's body was not as cold anymore.
Bai Qinghuan's gaze returned to normal when she could no longer see anyone. She had never expected to meet him on the street.
The angle at which she looked at him just now was the one she had practiced in front of the mirror. It was her most beautiful angle.
Fortunately, his eyes were not so indifferent, and she still had some weight in his heart.
In the next few days, Bai Qinghuan went to Dianmo Pavilion every day and sat in Haitang Pavilion for a while.
Today, she held a few green plum blossoms in her hands, inserted them into the porcelain vase one by one, and then trimmed them.
The flower branches are stacked layer upon layer in an orderly manner, and the white porcelain vase sets off the green petals, making them even more delicate and beautiful.
These are the days when Princess Changle picked them from the plum garden in the Princess's Mansion. I hope Her Royal Highness the Princess will not blame me.
There is no way. In this season, it is difficult to find flowers anywhere else except in the greenhouses of the imperial palace.
She picked up the vase, walked through the secret door, came to the Purple Bamboo Pavilion, and placed it on the small table by the window. The sunlight outside the window shone on the pale yellow stamens of the plum blossoms, as if they were coated with a layer of soft golden light, hazy and charming.
"Let's go back home."
Biyun and Ziyan both knew Bai Qinghuan's plan. This Zizhu Pavilion was specially reserved for the Regent.
"Girl, will the Regent come back today?"
"Perhaps."
Let’s take a gamble today.
She thought that at least she was not being too sentimental because she thought he had gone to the bottom of the cliff to save her and carry her back.
To say that he has her in his heart, apart from meeting her on the street, he has not shown any reaction in the past few days.
She has been in Dianmo Pavilion these days, hoping to lure the Regent over.
Back home, she continued to exercise and learned some luck-enhancing techniques from Zhenzhu, as it is always good to have many skills.
If she knew some martial arts, she would at least be able to avoid being framed again in the future.
Zhenzhu teaches very seriously, but learning martial arts depends on talent.
And the girl happens to be someone with almost no talent.
She couldn't say it directly, so she could only teach him the basics in a tactful way.
"Pearl, what do you think of my moves?"
"...The girl is a beginner, and she is already very good."
Bai Qinghuan was a little discouraged. She was indeed not cut out for learning martial arts.
But it is still possible to keep fit.
The dumbbells that Biyun had asked the blacksmith to make were also placed in the inner room. She lifted them a hundred times every day to build up her strength.
She has to control this amount herself. She wants to be strong but not grow fat which affects her beauty.
The image of the King Kong Barbie from her previous life appeared in her mind and she shook her head. She must not become like that.
......
In the Regent's Palace, it was another day when the Prince Regent was unable to approve any memorials.
Outside the door, Shufeng and Xishun were both looking at the sky.
"Ever since Miss Bai left, the sky in the palace has been cloudy."
"Yes, Miss Bai is actually the reincarnation of the sun god."
"Dian Mo Pavilion has been very popular recently. I also want to try the Qiongshan Silver Needle and various dishes there."
Shu Feng smacked his lips, he really wanted to go, that was the recipe that came from Miss Bai.
Before I could drool, the door of the study suddenly opened.
The Regent just stared at Shu Feng and asked, "Did you say that Dian Mo Pavilion has Qiongshan Silver Needle?"
Shu Feng almost choked on his saliva: "Prince...Prince."
"I heard there was. The Qiongshan Silver Needle was a tribute. Miss Bai is really powerful. I don't know where she got it from."
Then he asked tentatively: "Would your Majesty like to try it?"
"lead the way."
