There was a lot of trouble in the court because of Xiao Chen, but he himself took a leisurely stroll around Deji Hall and Qingnang Pharmacy, and bought 5,000 kilograms of Glauber's Salt from each of the two stores.
"I really can't help but spend this money. It seems that after returning to the palace, I have to find more rewards from the ladies. Otherwise, won't the three slaves of my family suffer a big loss?"
On the way back to Fuxiangfang, Xiao Chen couldn't help but sigh.
Although Glauber's Salt is cheap, it cannot handle large quantities.
This 10,000 kilograms also emptied his family fortune.
"Are you done?"
In Fuxiangfang, Zizhu glanced at Xiao Chen and asked.
Xiao Chen nodded, then pointed toward the room, "The princess hasn't come out yet?"
Zizhu smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Not yet, let's go back to the palace when the princess comes out. You are really fooling around. You dare to bring the princess out. If something unexpected happens, can you afford it?"
Is this what I want to bring her out for?
Xiao Chen's face darkened and he said unjustly: "The princess has to come out, can you stop her?"
Listening to Xiao Chen's howling, Zizhu couldn't help but smile.
Xiao Chen looked at the girl's delicate lips and involuntarily smacked his mouth, as if after recollection...
"What are you looking at!"
Zizhu blushed and felt a strange feeling in her body, as if a dog's mouth was gnawing on her face!
"Ahem, last time you took away the secret book of Jianhu Palace, do you know martial arts?"
Xiao Chen coughed lightly and changed the topic.
"Well, as the princess's guard, you naturally have to learn martial arts. Isn't this normal?" Zizhu raised his eyebrows with an unnatural look on his face, but Xiao Chen didn't notice it at this time.
"It's normal... I just want to learn martial arts so that I can save my life. I wonder if my sister can teach me?"
Xiao Chen raised his head and asked with burning eyes.
"You want to practice martial arts?"
Zizhu was a little surprised and looked him up and down, "Kung fu is not that easy to practice. As the governor of Dongchang, you don't have to endure such hardship."
Xiao Chen shook his head, "No! I must practice!"
Being strong and relying on outsiders for protection are completely different things. No matter how powerful you are, if someone else arranges a killer to stab you to death with one blow, who will you ask to reason with?
Especially the job of head of Dongchang...
Everything you do is offensive!
Zizhu looked at him for a long time before nodding, "I can teach you, but you can't tell anyone about this!"
"no problem!"
Xiao Chen readily agreed, and then asked curiously, "Sister, are your kung fu great?"
Zizhu is a little dissatisfied. Didn't you ask me to teach you? Are you disgusted now?
He immediately said: "Then you should find someone else to teach you!"
Xiao Chen hurriedly stepped forward and said as kindly as he could, "No way, it's all my fault. My sister's kung fu is unparalleled in the world, and there are few in the entire Dachu who can be your opponent!"
Zizhu said modestly: "There are still more than a dozen people who are better than me..."
Xiao Chen choked, do you really dare to say that there are only a dozen people in the entire Chu who can beat you? Then why are you still a little maid in the palace?
But he didn't try to expose it.
At least Zizhu's kung fu, in Xiao Chen's opinion, is better than that of Xiang Yichun and others. If she wants to learn martial arts, she is currently the best candidate.
Just then, there was a creak and the door opened.
Ji Yunlan walked out of the room, her face covered with red lip marks, which made Xiao Chen's eyelids jump. Could this princess be a lesbian?
"Sir, we should go back."
Zizhu stepped forward and said softly.
Ji Yunlan did not refuse and nodded, "Okay, let's go back. This brothel is really interesting. We can come here more often in the future!"
Xiao Chen followed, feeling very speechless.
I don't understand what a girl is doing in a brothel. Could she be grinding tofu there?
After the three of them returned to the palace, Xiao Chen separated from them. He said he was going to Dongchang to deal with the group of dandies, but in fact, he turned around and went to Jingluo Palace carrying more than ten kilograms of Glauber's Salt.
…
At the same time, in Jingluo Palace.
Concubine Jing sat lazily on the soft couch. In front of her stood a fourteen or fifteen-year-old woman who was as clear and ethereal as ice and snow.
This woman's appearance is not inferior to that of Concubine Jing, but at this moment she frowned with worry on her face, "Sister, do you really believe what that eunuch said?"
"At this point, I can only choose to believe..."
Concubine Jing sighed, what if she didn't believe she had that kind of relationship with the fake eunuch?
She reached out and grabbed the woman's hand, pleading: "Now that my sister is outside the palace, the only one I can rely on is you, Bai Zhi... Just help my sister this time, okay?"
Bai Zhi looked embarrassed, "It's not that I don't want to help my sister, it's just making ice. This is too weird."
Hearing this, Concubine Jing couldn't help but look downcast.
Xiao Chen said before that she was asked to find an agent outside the palace. She thought about it for a long time and found that the only candidate was this adopted sister whom she had known since childhood.
If Bai Zhi is not willing, Concubine Jing will have no other choice.
Bai Zhi exhaled and persuaded: "I know the difficulties you have in the palace, but I can't believe everyone just because of that..."
Halfway through the words, seeing Concubine Jing still looking sad, Bai Zhi couldn't help but grit her teeth, "Let's do this. If that person can really make ice, I will promise you!"
Concubine Jing turned her head and asked, "Is this true?"
"I would never dare to lie to my sister!"
Bai Zhi nodded solemnly, but in her heart, she only thought these were Concubine Jing's words of relief.
Making ice... How can ice be made by human power?
"Mother, everything is ready. I wonder if you have chosen your agent?"
But at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded, causing Concubine Jing and Bai Zhi to look up at the same time.
At the door of the palace, Xiao Chen slowly walked in with a large bag of things.
"Sister, is this the eunuch you want to cooperate with?"
Bai Zhi frowned, having a bad impression of Xiao Chen.
A eunuch not only failed to report his visit to the imperial concubine, but also broke in without permission. This shows how arrogant he was acting!
Concubine Jing's beautiful eyes first flashed with joy, but it quickly converged and turned into coldness, "Yes, it's this dog slave! Xiao Chenzi, what do you mean when you say everything is ready?"
"Who is this?"
Xiao Chen didn't answer and looked at Bai Zhi carefully.
The face is like a melon seed, with pear dimples between the cheeks, and the whole body has an ethereal temperament of ice and snow, just like a snow lotus.
Tsk... there are so many beautiful women in this palace.
"Close your eyes!"
Concubine Jing glared at the lecher, and then introduced: "This is my adopted sister and the agent I hired, not an outsider."
"agent?"
Xiao Chen was startled, and then a smile appeared on his face. It was naturally pleasing to have such a beautiful woman to cooperate with.
Bai Zhi raised her eyebrows and said coldly: "I haven't agreed yet. If you want to cooperate with me, first... I want to see your ice-making skills!"
