Chapter 178 Bad money
Chaohua wanted to cry bitterly, but she still remembered that the prince was beside her.
She could bear it.
For so many years, this is how I endured it.
She took the initiative to smile at Wei Qiang: "The name is really interesting, I don't know who came up with such a name."
As he asked nonchalantly, the hands hidden in his sleeves kept shaking.
The familiar smell of pickled radish skin, the name of the restaurant hidden deep in memory—is Xiuyue still alive?
Chaohua can only think of this possibility.
If there is only this can of pickled radish skins, it can be called a coincidence, but if you add the name of the restaurant, how can there be such a coincidence?
She doesn't want it to be a coincidence either.
She hoped that sister Xiuyue was still alive.
Among the four of them, Xiuyue is the youngest, and has a pure personality. They all treat Xiuyue as their own sister.
"It's Miss Luo, the beloved daughter of Governor Luo." Wei Qiang gave the answer. Seeing Chaohua's bewildered face, he smiled slightly, "You've been in the palace, haven't you heard of Miss Luo?"
Today he reluctantly agreed to Miss Luo to let her see Yuniang. Having said this, it just happened to let Yuniang understand that troublesome woman.
Chao Hua lowered her eyes to hide her disappointment, and shook her head slightly: "I haven't heard of it."
"She is the most beloved daughter of the Commander of the Jinlin Guard, Commander Luo Dadu, and her actions... are a bit out of the ordinary."
"Extraordinary?" Chaohua somehow thought of the princess.
The princess likes to cook, and likes to ask the cook for advice on cooking skills. At the beginning, some people talked behind her back about the princess being out of line.
"Yeah, she grabs whatever she likes, and she also likes to raise noodles."
"Nursing noodles?" Chao Hua's eyes widened.
The princess is not so out of line!
"Did she also **** the wine shop?" Chao Hua suppressed her nervousness and asked.
Wei Qiang laughed: "That's not true, I heard that she ordered it at a high price. Because there is a good cook, the business of the restaurant is very good."
That's really a lot of money!
Thinking of the price, Wei Qiang couldn't laugh anymore.
He still owes a restaurant five thousand six hundred and twenty taels of silver.
When Chaohua mentioned Wei Qiang's good cook, her thoughts were already churning.
There is a good cook in a restaurant, is it Xiuyue?
She couldn't help thinking this, but couldn't believe it.
What if it is not?
Chaohua subconsciously stroked the gold-encrusted seven-treasure bracelet on her wrist.
For so many years, she has been guarding this bracelet, guarding a slim hope.
Sometimes, she is so desperate that she wants to end this life and go to the princess.
But she was afraid of failing the princess' entrustment.
The princess has never lied. The princess said that this bracelet can be exchanged for the country, and it will definitely be exchanged.
Wei Qiang noticed Chao Hua's movement and grabbed her hand.
Chaohua was taken aback, almost showing something strange.
"Your Highness?"
The man's slender fingers rested on the gold bracelet, making Chao Hua's heart skip a beat.
That day, the prince began to pay attention to this bracelet...
Chaohua was startled and frightened, her fingertips getting colder and colder.
"Yu Niang, Miss Luo also took a fancy to your bracelet."
"Your Highness—" Chao Hua turned pale.
Wei Qiang held her hand tightly and comforted her: "Don't worry, I won't let Miss Luo **** your bracelet."
Chaohua forced a smile: "I am curious how Miss Luo knew about this bracelet since she has never seen me before."
Wei Qiang sighed: "She fell in love with Wei Wen's bracelet."
"The bracelet—"
"Of course it's in Miss Luo's hands."
The things of the princess would rather be cheaper for irrelevant people than for those jackals in the Pingnan Palace.
It's a pity that she didn't have the chance to meet this girl Luo who acted out of line, and she didn't have the chance to confirm whether the cook in a restaurant was Xiuyue.
The East Palace, which countless people envy, is nothing more than a cage to her.
But she couldn't escape, and she couldn't escape.
The identity of Qingyang Princess' maidservant made her only able to protect the bracelet by relying on the crown prince to survive.
"Miss Luo will be visiting the East Palace in the next two days, so go and see her then."
After hearing this, Chao Hua was really taken aback: "Your Highness?"
Wei Qiang had a very headache.
He can't admit it in front of Yu Niang, he can't do anything about a girl.
"Don't think too much, just meet."
"Yes." He bowed his head towards Hua, and didn't ask any more questions.
Time always treats beauties favorably. Although Chaohua is no longer young, her beauty has not diminished a bit.
Wei Qiang looked at her shaving her head and trimming her neck, his heart was shaken, and he held her hand and walked towards the bed.
As the night darkened, Wei Qiang arranged his clothes by Chaohua and left here.
"Choice waiter, do you want to take a bath?"
The palace maid serving Chaohua knew she was used to it, so she came to ask for instructions.
Chao Hua nodded, as if she didn't have the strength to speak, and was supported by two maids to the bathroom.
The whole body was submerged in the steaming wooden barrel, and Chaohua sent the two maids out.
When there were no other people in the room, she plunged into the water, and it took a long time for her head to emerge, panting heavily.
If there is a time when I most want to end this poor life, it is now.
Every time, she can't wait to wash this skin inside and out.
Going out of the barrel, Chao Hua put on a snow-white undershirt and walked into the inner room.
Two maidservants came to wipe her hair with towels.
Chaohua has good hair, thick and black, like the best silk.
A palace maid twisted her hair for her, and said with emotion: "The hair of the servant is really good."
What I didn’t say later is that it’s no wonder that he is favored by the crown prince.
Chaohua knew it without thinking about it, so it was even more disgusting.
"Okay, step back."
"Choice waiter, your hair is not dry yet."
Chaohua disagrees: "It's fine if there is no dripping, it will dry up quickly on such a hot day."
Seeing what she said, the two maidservants saluted and retreated.
The inner room is very quiet.
Chao Huaku sat for a while, opened a hidden compartment from the head of the bed, and took out a small porcelain bottle.
She poured out a pill, swallowed it, thought for a moment and poured out another.
Outside the door, a pair of eyes that had a panoramic view of all this suddenly widened, revealing excitement.
Early the next morning, beside a rockery somewhere, a palace maid handed a pill to another palace maid.
The servant girl who got the pill hurried to report to the princess.
"After being happy with His Highness last night, servant Yuxuan took such a pill?" The Crown Princess stared at a pill that was placed on a handkerchief by the maid, her tone was cold and disgusted.
"Returning to the princess, Cui Hong, who was serving Yu Xuan, saw it with her own eyes."
"Nurse Gui, take this pill to Doctor Wang for examination, and see how effective it is."
"yes."
The maid who stared at Chao Hua's move finally got something for the Crown Princess, and she was in a good mood.
Wei Qiang was in a much worse mood.
"What, the available cash is still short of one thousand taels?" Early in the morning, after hearing the report from his confidant **** Dou Ren, Wei Qiang felt a thunderbolt hit his head.
Dou Ren laughed dryly: "Return to Your Highness, the difference is one thousand one hundred taels..."
Wei Qiang was silent for a moment, and said: "Pick a piece of high-quality jade pendant that does not violate the regulations, and send it to Miss Luo together with the bank note."
"Yes." Dou Ren quietly left the palace with the jade pendant and bank notes.
Good morning. I have to clarify a huge misunderstanding. There is no update this month, but a rewarded update. At most, two at most, no more.
