Chapter 539: Deja Vu
"I want to go and accompany her. I will leave at night, but I have to talk to her more." Beifeng thought his question was very strange.
Yan Qingqiu said, "What else do you want to say? You can move your body." Jiyu took out the bottle of medicine that Li Rongsen didn't want from his pocket and handed it to him, saying, "Hey, this is good stuff. It can please women."
"What is it?" Beifeng asked.
Yan Qingqiu was helpless. He believed that the medicine he made was fine, but Li Rongsen said that it was seriously problematic. He had to find another person to try it on to see if they had the same condition as him. Therefore, he wanted to give it to Beifeng to try, saying, "Da Li Wan, good stuff."
Li Rongsen strode to Yan Qingqiu's side, snatched the medicine bottle from his hand, and said, "Stop making trouble, they don't have much time." At the same time, he said to Beifeng, "Go quickly and ignore him."
Bei Feng naturally believed Li Rongsen more, so he turned around and left immediately.
Yan Qingqiu said, "You really are ridiculous! Maybe his situation is different from yours. Do you know how much effort I put into making this medicine? It's all made with the rarest and most precious medicinal ingredients!"
"Can't you just do something serious?" An Yan glanced at him coldly, then said, "Go to the kitchen and tell them to make me a cup of grapefruit tea."
"Got it." Yan Qingqiu had no choice but to go to the kitchen to give instructions.
Li Rongsen said to An Yan, "Are you tired? Go get some sleep. This dinner tonight won't be easy."
"The old man loves this kind of scene the most. I guess he is the happiest one." An Yan said with a chuckle.
At this time, someone came in from outside to report, saying, "Your Highness, someone has come from Huashe Mountain and wants to see Mr. Li."
"Who is coming from Huashe Mountain?" Li Rongsen asked.
"It's the mountain master." said the man.
"Take the mountain master to the Plum Blossom Hall and wait for me. I'll be there right away." Li Rongsen instructed him first, and then said to An Yan, "I've been asking him to help me find medicinal herbs these past few days. Maybe he's found some rare and precious herbs. Let's go take a look first."
"Okay." An Yan nodded, and then went back into the house to busy herself with the things at hand.
After a while, Li Rongsen came in holding a box. He said, "An Yan, take a look at this medicine. Does it look like the acacia grass you saw today?"
An Yan immediately looked at Li Rongsen's hand and saw that it was indeed a red acacia grass. She said, "This is incredible. There is actually such a grass."
"I also found it strange and asked him where he got it. He said that a herbalist accidentally stepped on an unknown flat land and found this kind of grass there," said Li Rongsen.
An Yan was delighted. She had only been missing this one herb, and today she had it. She asked, "Is this the only one?"
"It took a lot of effort to get each one, and it almost cost a life." Li Rongsen said.
"Indeed, this is a rare and precious herb that is very difficult to collect. I thought it was no longer here, but it turned out to be here. It's really interesting." An Yan carefully placed the acacia grass into the box and said, "Ask him where it is and take me to see it."
"He broke his leg and needs to rest for a few days." Li Rongsen gestured for her not to worry and added, "I've just spoken to the mountain owner and asked him to send more people to collect. I'm sure there will be more."
"It's not possible today. It's getting late and not very convenient. How about we go to Flower Snake Mountain together tomorrow to pick them?" An Yan said. She was a little anxious. She just needed this one medicine.
Li Rongsen was thinking, as if he was a little worried, when he heard An Yan say, "Of course I will be careful. It's not safe to let those people pick the herbs. Firstly, they can't save their own lives, and secondly, we're afraid they might damage the herbs. Just one plant is not enough, at least ten plants are needed."
"Okay, I'll go with you." Li Rongsen nodded.
An Yan chuckled. She wanted to quickly clean the medicine cauldron and refine the acacia grass first.
Li Rongsen just stood aside, watching An Yanxin live, with something hidden in his eyes.
As the sky gradually darkened, the old man arranged tonight's dinner in the most magnificent reception building. The three floors were brightly lit, and the main seat was on the second floor.
An Yan changed into a solemn brocade dress, while Li Rongsen wore a robe of the same color as her. Even Yan Qingqiu changed into formal clothes, looking like a prince.
Beifeng and Meidie were also present and sat opposite Ouyang Yude.
Ouyang Yude felt that Xicheng really had endless gold to spend. This high-rise building was extraordinary. Everything that could be covered with gold was covered with it. It was simply magnificent. Fortunately, there were some jade stones to match it, otherwise it would have the temperament of a nouveau riche.
He was the first one to arrive at the table and was currently sizing up Mei Die. She was wearing the most luxurious colorful dress in the North Courtyard today, which made her look fair and gorgeous, giving her an extraordinary charm. No wonder his third brother loved her so much, but her every move lacked some nobility and composure, indicating that she was a girl from an ordinary family.
Suddenly, pleasant music was heard. It turned out that An Yan and Li Rongsen had taken their seats together.
An Yan sat alone in the main seat, while Li Rongsen sat in the deputy seat, not far from An Yan.
Although Xicheng is just a city, its wealth is enough to rival that of a country.
Ouyang Yude stood up and looked at An Yan carefully. He had to admit that her appearance and posture were excellent. Even if all the beauties in his sea country were put together, they would not be enough to look at her alone.
No wonder his brother said that the only woman in the world who could match him was the Lord of West City. Seeing him today, it turned out to be true.
An Yan said, "It is a great pleasure to have friends coming from afar. Mr. Ouyang, please don't be so formal."
"My country Haiguo has wanted to visit the Lord of West City for a long time, but I never had the chance. Today I came here in the name of my younger brother. I came in a hurry and didn't prepare any big gifts, but my brother also has something to give you as a token of our friendship between West City and Haiguo. I hope the Lord of West City will accept it." Ouyang Yude waved his hand as he spoke, and a small box immediately appeared.
He waved his hand again, handed the box to An Yan, and opened it. Inside was a phoenix hairpin with long tassels hanging down, made entirely of pure gold. It was obvious that it was not an ordinary item.
An Yan said, "Thank you for your kindness, Master, but I think you can't just give this hairpin away casually."
"Don't misunderstand, City Lord. This is an old item from a hundred years ago. Although it is an old item, it has a profound meaning." Ouyang Yude said with a faint smile.
Li Rongsen frowned slightly and said, "Tell me about it."
"I heard that a hundred years ago, there was a woman who, despite her humble background, was intelligent and clever, skilled in both literature and martial arts. She easily conquered a kingdom that no man could conquer. She pacified the four directions and established herself as a queen. She specially crafted this phoenix hairpin to symbolize self-reliance and becoming a dominant empress. I think the Lord of West City deserves this hairpin."
"I don't have such ambition." An Yanqing said coldly, and she never cared about power. She even thought that power was also a kind of constraint, and it was unwise to be addicted to it.
"It's just a decoration now, and it's also a small gift from the Sea Country. Please accept it, City Lord." Ouyang Yude just said this.
An Yan felt that this hairpin was very strange. She felt it was very familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere. Was it in a dream, or somewhere else? She really couldn't remember.
That night, she seemed to see it.
"My queen should wear a hairpin like this. Look how beautiful this phoenix is." A man in an imperial dragon robe was putting a phoenix hairpin on An Yan in front of the mirror.
An Yan was a little frightened. She felt that she shouldn't have such a dream. She had never thought about becoming a queen, and she had no experience of being a queen in her previous life. She didn't like this kind of constrained role.
