Husband is extremely regent

Chapter 172
"Queen Mother, the princess sneaked away while no one was paying attention."

Aunt Liu went out for a while and came back: "In order to avoid accidents, I will bring someone to bring her back immediately, lest she talk nonsense."

"Let her go, there will be no storms." The Queen Mother smiled disapprovingly, "No one will listen to her, let alone believe her."

"In case the princess meets Lu Xu, Lu Xu has a heart..."

"When we meet, we will meet. The Ai family has not met that Lu Xu for a long time."

When the Empress Dowager mentioned that Lu Xu, there was indescribable pride and amazement in her eyes, as if it was her most proud masterpiece.

Aunt Liu didn't quite understand what Lu Xu meant, and the Queen Mother didn't explain it to her, because people never realized that the most powerful enemy is another self.

A quiet corner of the palace.

Princess Chang'an stared at Lu Xu and said, "Lu Xu, believe me...she is a lunatic, she will drag you to hell together."

"I am her hell." Lu Xu replied calmly.

Originally thought that Princess Chang'an would provide useful information, but in the end she just madly asked her to help kill the Queen Mother.

Princess Chang'an saw that Lu Xu was about to leave, so she dragged her lame leg and stopped in front of her, saying, "My princess tells you a secret. The queen mother is afraid that you will assassinate her, so she has been wearing the precious clothes given by the mysterious man. It is said that this treasure It is not easy for you to kill her without a knife or a gun."

"Except for you... there is no hope for the Queen Mother to die."

Lu Xu smiled indifferently, took a step to the side, and brushed past Princess Chang'an.

Princess Chang'an looked at Lu Xu's back and took a deep breath: "Lu Xu, you will pay the price for your arrogance, in the past...and in the future."

"Miss Ben has the ability to be arrogant."

Lu Xu couldn't leave without turning his head, went out of the palace gate and got into the carriage.

Perhaps she didn't expect that she would come out so early, or go away because of something, Gu Qi and Suzaku were not guarding outside the carriage.

Lu Xu felt a little cold, poured a cup of hot water to drink, but found that the water was cold, and then noticed that there were no sparks in the stove, it was really a leak in the house and it was raining all night.

Recalling the incident in the court, Lu Xu felt that he was a little hasty, thought for a while and said to himself: "Forget it, believe it or not, the emperor and the others are not in a hurry for me. What does Nanli's life and death have to do with me?"

Thinking of the empress's words and attitude, a trace of sarcasm unconsciously curled up at the corner of her mouth.

Forget it, every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, remembering that they are still arrogant and have three families, Lu Xu began to agree with Lao Zhang and Lao Song to leave home to practice.

While thinking wildly, the curtain was lifted...

Suzaku came in from the outside with a basket, and was surprised when she saw her inside: "Miss came out, I thought the court meeting would end at noon."

"The court meeting didn't end, I was driven out of the court hall." Lu Xu yawned: "You came back just in time, I was sleepy and took a nap, you put me in the wind, don't let anyone disturb you."

"Hey miss, don't rush to sleep, the stove is off, and the car is still cold."

While adding charcoal to the stove, Suzaku said: "The spare frost charcoal in the car is used up, and the servant has returned with a basket, so I will light up the stove."

Lu Xu yawned: "Forget it, today's court meeting won't be over for a while, let's take a stroll around the city first, and come back to pick up sir when it's about the same time."

"Where do you want to go, Miss?"

Hearing that he was going to take a stroll, Suzaku immediately became interested.

Lu Xu thought for a while and said, "It's not that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, we should also add some jewelry to the head."

"The house is almost full of jewelry and heads that are rewarded every year in the palace. If Miss spends money on buying them, Qingluan will say that you are prodigal again."

"I don't like what is rewarded in the palace." Lu Xu said indifferently: "Besides, apart from the things that are rewarded in the palace, who usually loves them? We are going to pick them now, not for expensive ones, but for styles. Chic jewelry buy."

"Who would dare to wear the jewelry you bought before? The store will definitely not sell you."

"Wearing a veiled hat, who can tell who I am." Regardless of Suzaku's reminder, Lu Xu said coldly, "My lady is in a bad mood today, why do you care about other people's moods?"

"Whoever makes the lady angry needs to spend money to buy happiness."

Suzaku guessed who Lu Xu had met when he came out, and he couldn't offend someone, otherwise he wouldn't sulk for no reason.

Lu Xu talked about the empress, Suzaku sighed and said: "The stove is already on fire, the servants will drive the cart to the place where money is spent, spend a small amount of money to calm down, and harmony can make money."

"Let's go, spend the money."

Suzaku left the palace in a carriage and headed for the prosperous East City.

Although there are not as many vendors in the East Market as there are in the South Market, the shops are all very grand and luxurious, and the people who come and go are either rich or expensive.

Lu Xu covered his face with a veil, put on a veiled cap, and changed into a purple cloak. He changed out of his own sachet and put on the sachet that Fanxing usually used.

"Miss, is it too late?"

In order to spend money for shopping, the lady really worked hard, so she changed her appearance.

Lu Xu threw her a veil and said, "You have to block it too. What if you meet someone you know and I don't recognize you first?"

Suzaku had no choice but to cover her face, and said in a low voice, "Miss, as soon as I cover my face, I feel like I'm on a mission. I only need a sword in my hand, and the weather is not right."

"You've only performed a few missions since you followed me." Lu Xu got off the carriage and glanced at the nearby shops, pointing to the jewelry store directly in front of him and said, "Go to that one."

"Huating Square." Suzaku glanced at the store name and asked, "Miss, why did you choose this one?"

"Mrs. Zhang likes things from this house." Lu Xu said, holding up the hem of his skirt and walked forward: "I bought the jewelry she likes, so she has no jewelry to wear."

"If Mrs. Zhang finds out, wouldn't she come to your door to scold you?"

"It's okay, we have Dabai."

Suzaku immediately gained confidence when he heard this, since Dabai went up to the gate of the garden, no one dared to approach rashly.

Lu Xu leisurely walked into Huatingfang, and said to the shopkeeper without even looking at it, "What jewelry did Mrs. Zhang buy from you, and give me a copy as it is."

Suddenly hearing the hoarse voice, Suzaku was startled. The young lady spent a lot of money in order to anger Mrs. Zhang. She heard that the shopkeeper didn't respond for a long time, and then she heard Lu Xu continue to urge: "I look down on this girl who has just arrived in the capital, or Worried that this girl has no money to pay the bill."

"Miss misunderstood, how can a villain look down on miss just because she first arrived in the capital?"

The shopkeeper is also a person with eyesight, and she knows that she is a lady from a wealthy family based on Lu Xu's attire, so naturally she can't miss a big customer.

Quickly explained: "The place under the emperor's feet is no different than other places. The villain is worried that if he meets Zhang Shaofu on an important occasion, he will be laughed at if his jewelry hits his head, and he will cause trouble for his family. Why are you bothering?"

"The head can be bumped by jewelry, but the face can't be bumped." Lu Xu thought for a while and said, "As long as you don't bump into Miss Lu, I am not afraid of hitting anyone."

"I didn't expect Miss Lu Xu to hear Miss Lu Xu's good name when she first arrived in the capital." The shopkeeper said with a smile on his face, "Miss, don't worry, Miss Lu Xu's headgear and clothes are all made in the palace, and they will never be compared with outsiders." Repeat."

"The shopkeeper is right." Lu Xu said with a smile: "I don't buy hair masks and jewelry for myself, but to give them to my girlfriends back home in Haicheng."

"It's so good, the villain will get the lady's jewelry and hair mask right away, please wait a moment." The shopkeeper was naturally happy when he heard Lu Xu's words, and hurriedly fetched the whole set of gold inlaid jade head mask.

Suzaku followed to pay the bill, and when she came back, holding a box, she saw Lu Xu playing with a step shaker.

On the top is a bead flower woven with pearls, and below are twelve slender pearl tassels, which look elegant and very attractive.

"If Miss likes it, let's wrap it up together."

"Okay, wrap it up."

Lu Xu put Bu Yao back into the jewelry box.

Suzaku tossed another piece of silver to the shopkeeper and said, "My young lady has taken a fancy to it, wrap it up quickly.

The shopkeeper held the silver, hesitated to put it back into Suzaku's hand and said: "Miss is really discerning. Although this pearl walker is not expensive, its style and workmanship are unique. It's just that a lady took it and sold it yesterday. If there is an accident, some money will be exchanged for subsidies."

"This kind of thing happens from time to time, so it's not a big problem." Lu Xu said disapprovingly, "Ms. Ben said that she likes simple and elegant things, and this swing won my heart."

"Pawning and selling jewelry is indeed a common thing. Qi Jiqi came here again this morning, holding his hands tightly like the young lady, saying that these things are her mother's relics, which were stolen by her stepmother and sold. She originally wanted to redeem them. Yes, it’s just that I didn’t have enough money in a hurry to go out, so I entrusted the villain to keep it for me, and I’ll redeem it when I get back home.”

"So that's how it is." Lu Xu said indifferently: "Since I'm just a child, I won't embarrass the shopkeeper. There are still other items in the store. Let me have a look at them."

"What is a single product?" The shopkeeper asked strangely.

"A unique thing is a single item."

Lu Xu said without hesitation: "This way there will be no collision with jewelry."

The shopkeeper said softly, as if thinking of something: "According to the young lady, there is indeed such a thing in the shop."

"Please take it from the shopkeeper and have a look."

Lu Xu found a seat and sat down, with an attitude of waiting and waiting.

The shopkeeper immediately ordered someone to order tea: "Miss, try the tea in the store first, and the villain will go get something right away."

Lu Xu nodded his head slightly, sipped his tea and slowly looked at the jewelry in the store, and thoughtfully said: "Suzaku, I think it's good to make jewelry as a single product, if the shopkeeper doesn't want to do it, let's open a jewelry store like this , no matter what kind of jewelry, only one piece, what do you think?"

"First come, first served?" Suzaku became interested when he heard that.

"The one with the highest price wins." Lu Xu lazily said, "How can a unique thing be sold in an ordinary way?"

"What is an unusual method?" Suzaku asked curiously, Lu Xu smiled mysteriously and said, "It's meaningless to say it now, let's talk about it when the store opens."

"Last time, you took over the rouge shop opened by Jinguo in Kyoto. Didn't you let Qingluan take it over? On top of their original prescription, coupled with Miss's new ideas, the rouge shop's business is even more prosperous than before, but the slaves prefer Miss. The name of the shop is Huanyan.

Lu Xu took a sip of the tea, frowned and said, "I chose this name because I hope everyone likes the original self, not the face modified with rouge and gouache."

"Miss, what you said is very contradictory." Suzaku joked: "Miss opened a shop to do the rouge business, but persuaded people to like the appearance of her cleansed, don't you think it is very contradictory."

Lu Xu smiled lightly and said: "Liking the original self makes people confident, and confident people are more attractive, and if you add rouge and gouache, you will be dazzling."

"If it is paired with the jewelry designed by the young lady herself, it will not be able to compete with Miss Lu Xu, the number one beauty in the Nanli country." Suzaku deliberately teased Lu Xu: "If you hang this sentence on the door, the business will definitely go to a higher level. "

Lu Xu pretended to be angry and slapped her on the back of the hand: "I'll make a set of jewelry for myself first, wear it and go outside to see the effect."

"Miss looks good, and it looks good wearing a wooden hairpin." After Suzaku finished speaking, she saw the shopkeeper approaching with a big cloth bag, and said in surprise, "The shopkeeper is holding it. Maybe it's a phoenix crown used for marriage."

I thought that the shopkeeper said that there was one thing, but he didn't say that it was a jewelry head.

Lu Xu put down the teacup, the shopkeeper opened the cloth bag, took out a pipa and said, "This pipa was originally owned by Mrs. Su, a national champion. Mrs. Su was deaf because of illness and was living in poverty. Taste?"

"Miss Su Guoshouben knows that the pipa she used is a single product."

Lu Xu picked up the pipa to test the sound, adjusted the strings and played a series of melodies, which surprised the shopkeeper so much that he couldn't close his mouth.

After regaining consciousness, the shopkeeper immediately said: "Miss's pipa is not inferior to that of Su Guo's master, but you can use it without humiliating Xinyue. Why don't you ask the girl to accept Xinyue."

"You won't get rewarded for no merit, the shopkeeper's kindness, I absolutely dare not accept it." Lu Xu hastily declined, "The new moon is a priceless thing, and I am willing to barter, exchange the same precious thing with the shopkeeper , what does the shopkeeper think?"

"It's… okay."

The shopkeeper hesitated, but agreed to Lu Xu's request.

Lu Xu said to Suzaku: "Bring me my tea set, and ask the shopkeeper's eyes to see if it's worth changing for a pipa."

Xinyue is not only a pipa used by Su Guoshou, but also a famous qin that has been handed down since ancient times. It has been more than 1000 years, and the pipa is not only not bad, but its tone is getting better and better.

Lu Xu fell in love with it as soon as he got started, but he didn't want to take things from others for nothing, so he thought of a way to exchange them.

Suzaku put down the box in response, went back to the carriage and took a set of tea sets and said, "Master, you must have never seen a tea set made of blue ceramics before."

"ceramics!"

The shopkeeper looked at Lu Xu in shock.

Lu Xu smiled lightly and said, "To be exact, it's called azure glaze, which is fired by a secret method."

Glancing at the shopkeeper's surprised expression, Lu Xu said indifferently: "The world dare not say anything, Nanli is the only one in the present, I wonder if I can exchange Xinyue."

The shopkeeper couldn't put it down for the azure tea set, Wen Fang immediately smiled and said: "The unique crescent moon, in exchange for this one azure glaze, the villain is willing to exchange it with the young lady."

"Very good."

Lu Xu also couldn't put it down for the pipa, so he walked outside holding the pipa.

When I walked out of the door, I passed by a woman, and I heard a familiar voice: "Mr. Shopkeeper, the little girl has all the money, and return my mother's belongings to me."
