Li Qingyi shook his head, "I haven't even met my mother, so I don't know."
While they were talking, several people had already arrived at the place and quickly forgot about what happened just now.
The two mainly wanted to accompany Wei Jin'er and only visited a few shops. Wei Jin'er was not interested. Li Qingyi thought for a while and asked Silan to go to Xuandehou Mansion to ask whether his sister Li Miaoran and Chen Zheng's cousin Zhen Zhen next door were there. When you have time, invite them to Bibo Tower for a small gathering.
Bibo Tower is a property bought by the second aunt Ruan Shixin in the capital. It has many pavilions and is extremely elegant. A piece of blue water separates the east and west gardens. In the East Garden, you can enjoy tea and tea, play poems, play music, and play chess. In the West Garden, you can enjoy teapots, horse cranes, and leaf tiles, all of which have separate elegant rooms.
You can eat when you are hungry and sleep when you are sleepy.
You can go in the morning and leave in the evening without even changing places.
In short, it is a place for people to have fun, have fun, chat, and only entertain female guests.
Once it opened, all the noble ladies in the capital were delighted and would visit it from time to time. It is really a wonderful place to forget about worries and pass the time.
Although the rule of only entertaining female guests is quite controversial, it makes people come here to give it a try. After all, this kind of place where men are not allowed to enter, puts women first, and treats men with disdain, cannot be said less, I can only say one thing. nothing.
Just thinking about it makes me feel comfortable.
Princess Yuanheng has never been to Bibo Tower, but the third lady in the mansion, Guo, has been here a long time ago and mentioned it twice.
If Mrs. Wei hadn't been there and had children to worry about, Ms. Guo would probably have played here every day. After all, she was not short of money and she and her husband Wei Shiqian disliked each other. It would be nice to meet.
"Ms. Guo's eyebrows lit up when she mentioned Bibo Tower, which shows that it is a good place, but her tone was very sour. She is also a rich person. They are making money, but she is spending money."
Li Qingyi couldn't help but smile. She also admired her second aunt's business skills. Except for entertainment, women made more money than men everywhere. I don’t know how the second aunt came up with such a gimmick as "only accepting female customers". It seems to be a bit of a pretense of men's disdain, and it has earned enough attention.
The mother and daughter were strolling around and waiting for someone. Soon after, Shia Lan came with Li Miaoran and Zhen Zhen.
"Sister Li!" Zhen Zhen was even more excited than Li Miaoran when she saw Li Qingyi. She rushed towards Li Qingyi as soon as she got off the carriage. Later, due to the presence of Princess Yuanheng, she quickly stopped and pretended to be a good baby, "Zhen'er has seen her before Princess."
Princess Yuanheng had met Mrs. Zhen several times. She nodded with a smile and took off the bracelet and gave it to her as a greeting gift. Zhen Zhen accepted it shyly, "Thank you, Princess, for your love."
Li Miaoran was full of curiosity about this former aunt, and hesitantly saluted her and said hello, but she didn't know how to address her. In the end, she could only hold back the word "Princess".
Princess Yuanheng didn't care, and took off the bracelet on her left hand and put it on her wrist, "Ran'er has grown so big."
"Thank you, thank you, Princess..."
Li Qingyi smiled, introduced them and Wei Jin'er to each other, and then the group went to Bibo Tower.
When they arrived at the door, there stood the young master in brocade robes who had just stepped outside the carriage.
He didn't seem to know the rules of Bibo Tower. The maid who was waiting in front of the door saluted him and said with a smile: "Sir, our Bibo Tower only accepts female guests, I'm really sorry."
"Oh? Only female guests are accepted?" The Jinpao Master retracted his step and did not blame it. He smiled and shook his head, "What a pity. I saw that the facade of this place is quite elegant. It must be a good place, but it is not allowed to enter."
The boy next to him said: "It's really strange. I haven't seen a place where only women can enter."
Mr. Jinpao also asked unwillingly: "Does your boss have any other shops that only men can enter?"
The maid was amused by him, covered her lips and shook her head.
Young Master Jinpao was a little disappointed and turned around to leave when he saw Li Qingyi and the others walking towards them.
It was just a coincidence that Li Qingyi's appearance was unforgettable after we had just met him.
Young Master Jinpao smiled and cupped his hands towards them. Li Qingyi nodded politely to him and led everyone into Bibo Tower.
Li Miaoran asked curiously: "Who is this person?"
Before Li Qingyi could answer, Zhen Zhen said in surprise: "Isn't her mother running to your house every two days? How come you don't know who he is?"
Everyone was curious now.
Li Miaoran asked: "Who is it?"
"Isn't she Princess Zhenbei? That person just now was Gongsun Yi, the eldest son of Prince Zhenbei!"
Li Qingyi was startled and looked at Princess Yuanheng, somewhat doubting that the meeting just now was not a coincidence.
But Gongsun Yi didn't behave like that.
Li Miaoran replied: "Princess Zhenbei has been here a few times, but she didn't bring her son."
Zhen Zhen lowered her voice and said, "I met him once when I went out with my cousins. My cousin said that he was the son of a criminal. Many people avoided him, but he didn't bother others. When I arrived in Beijing, I always walked alone."
Li Miaoran continued: "Really? That's quite self-aware and not annoying."
The two of you said something to each other, as if it was the same thing.
Li Qingyi thought more than they thought, but now is not the time to talk about this, "Let's go in first, we must have a good time today before going back!"
The two little girls cheered a little, their eyes full of excitement. Even Wei Jin'er was infected by them and her expression relaxed a bit.
After all, it was their own property. As soon as Li Qingyi and Li Miaoran entered, the lady in charge recognized them and came forward to receive them personally.
Li Qingyi smiled and said: "You go and do your work, let's take a look around first."
The lady in charge retired and called a maid to follow them, ready to obey orders.
Not far inside, she saw two ladies discussing whether to play horse traps or leaf cards. Zhen Zhen's face suddenly twitched, "Mother? Aunt?"
Mrs. Zhen was startled when she heard the voice. She turned around and saw her little daughter. She was about to ask her why she was here when her younger sister, Madame, the Minister of Rites, stepped forward to salute, "I have seen the princess."
Mrs. Zhen, who hadn't seen her just now, quickly stepped forward to pay her respects.
Princess Yuanheng smiled and said, "You two ladies don't need to be polite."
The two of them were a little surprised to see her gentle expression.
When I met Princess Yuanheng in the past, she always had a straight face and a serious smile. Is she in such a good mood today?
Li Qingyi and others also came forward to say hello. Princess Yuanheng wanted to let the children play freely, so she turned around and said to them: "You guys can go play by yourselves. I'll say a few words to the ladies."
Zhen Zhen greeted her mother and aunt with a smile, and then went to have fun with Li Qingyi and the others.
Mrs. Zhen was a little embarrassed, "This girl of mine is just a skinny monkey..."
Princess Yuanheng was indeed in a good mood and smiled again, "You are still young, so it would be better to be more lively."
"The children left to play by themselves. Princess, why don't you play cards with us to relieve your boredom?"
Princess Yuanheng happily agreed and was about to ask them what they wanted to play when she saw Princess Zhenbei coming in from outside.
