The emperor broke the contract again today

Chapter 119
Shiqi didn't ask her where she was going, she seemed to trust Yun Xiyan very much, and followed her obediently.

This kind of trust made Yun Xiyan feel even more guilty, and took her all the way out of the house, to a beautifully decorated store in the downtown area.

Seeing all kinds of beautiful clothes and fabrics inside, Shiqi understood Yun Xiyan's thoughts, "Does the fourth imperial concubine want me to work here?"

"Yes." Yun Xiyan replied casually, pulling her straight towards the store.

From the first day she crossed over, she thought about opening her own store, and even did market research, that's when she met Ye Haoqing.Later, because of marriage with Ye Haoyu and other reasons, the plan to open a store was temporarily shelved.

After she attended the palace banquet that time, she saw that the narrow-sleeved Hanfu was very popular among noble women, so she came up with the idea of ​​opening a shop again.

She would provide some clothes patterns, and Shixia would make samples according to them, and then hand them to the embroiderers below to do the same.

Due to the unique style and exquisite workmanship, it attracted a lot of customers at the beginning, and gradually even those aristocratic women were attracted, so Yun Xiyan hit the iron while the iron was hot, and launched a high-end customized version for the aristocrats, no matter in terms of material selection or workmanship. are more sophisticated.

The business in the store is also getting better and better. Although the scale is small, it is still her private property after all.Shixia was always in charge of the store before, but she has been away for the past few days, so I don't know what's going on in the store.

As soon as she walked into the store, a woman dressed in the special service of the store came up to entertain her enthusiastically. This was cultivated by her according to the modern service model. Because she rarely came to the store, these waiters did not know her.

Seeing that these people did not get lazy because of Shi Xia's absence, Yun Xiyan nodded in satisfaction. It seems that Shi Xia is still very good at management.

While listening to the waiter's enthusiastic introduction, he was checking the quality of the clothes. When he looked up, he saw a woman in a water-green dress, looking down at the ledger, coming out of the back hall.

"Shi Xia." Yun Xiyan yelled in surprise. This girl disappeared for so many days without saying hello. She was still worried that something would happen to Shi Xia. to her.

Shi Xia, who was looking down at the account book, heard the shout and looked up blankly. Seeing Yun Xiyan, she was obviously also taken aback. After a few seconds, she realized it and stepped forward to salute.

Yun Xiyan gave her a strange look, Shi Xia was spoiled by her and had always been the most unruly in front of her, why did she suddenly want to salute today?She just said that she hadn't seen her for too long, and didn't think much about it, "Where did Shixia go these days? Why did she disappear without saying hello? I didn't go back to the house first when I came back, I was still worried about you."

"Oh, I went back to my hometown because I had something to do, and I just came back this morning. I was thinking about the situation of the clothing store, so I came here first." Shi Xia replied a little unnaturally.

"Home? Didn't your parents die long ago?" Yun Xiyan was puzzled.

"Uh... During the days when Miss went to Northern Xinjiang, my uncle came to look for me from my hometown. I received a letter from my hometown a few days ago saying that something happened. I was in a hurry and didn't have time to tell Miss. I left first. "

"Do you need help?" Yun Xiyan asked with concern. Since she came here, Shi Xia is her closest and most trusted person. She has always treated Shi Xia as her younger sister.

"Thank you for your concern, Miss. It's all right now. That's right. Why did Miss come here suddenly?"

"I'll send you a talent." Yun Xiyan smiled and pulled Shi Qi who had been obediently following behind her.

Shi Xia turned her head to look at Shi Qi, looked up and down, there was a flash of light in her originally soft eyes, and it was too late to be caught, she nodded and replied, "Shi Xia will take good care of her."

After finishing speaking, he beckoned for someone to come over and took Shiqi down.

Yun Xiyan gave Shi Xia a weird look again, "Shi Xia, is there something wrong with you?"

"No, no."

"Then why do I think you're weird?" Yun Xiyan frowned at her.

"Maybe it's because I've been busy running around recently and I'm a little tired." Shi Xia forced a smile.

Yun Xiyan nodded, and after asking about the profit of the store, she found out that although the clothing store is small, but because of the frequent patronage of noble women, it has earned nearly 5 taels this year.Yun Xiyan thought for a while, left 1 taels of working capital in the store, and took away the remaining 4 taels of bank notes. Shi Xia obediently took the bank notes and handed them to Yun Xiyan respectfully. Didn't ask much.

Yun Xiyan collected the banknotes. For some reason, she always felt that Shi Xia was weird when they met this time.

It seems that he has a lot of birth with her, and he seems to be more mature and stable.

In the past, Shixia always liked to cling to her. All day long, Miss Long, Miss Short, also likes to cry, strong curiosity, and worry about her when there is a little trouble, so she is more willing to pamper her, Treat her as a younger sister, not as a maid, and Shi Xia has never been separated from her master and servant.

But the current Shixia, no matter how she looks, behaves, or speaks, she is very respectful to her. Seeing her take so much money, she didn't even ask what she was doing. This is really not in line with Shixia's curiosity. strong character.

If it wasn't for the fact that her voice and smile hadn't changed at all, she would almost have thought it was a different person.

Suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, could it be said that someone also time-traveled to Shi Xia?Otherwise, how to explain these changes in Shixia?The more Yun Xiyan thought about it, the more she felt it was possible. If so, wouldn't it mean that she had a compatriot who traveled through time?This thought was like a seed that took root in her heart.

"Hello!" Yun Xiyan suddenly stretched out her hand and shouted at Shi Xia.

Shi Xia was obviously taken aback. After a long while, she looked at her suspiciously and asked, "What did Miss say?"

"Oh, it's nothing, Shi Xia, do you want to go back with me?" Yun Xiyan asked, the surprise and doubt in Shi Xia's eyes were not fake, could it be that she was overthinking?Did Shixia mature after working in a tailor shop?

"No, I've been away for a few days, and there are still many things to deal with in the store, so I won't go back for the time being."

Yun Xiyan walked out of the store thoughtfully, looking at the bustling streets of Lancheng outside, Yun Xiyan felt as if she had passed away, as if she had returned to the time when she had just crossed over and went shopping with Shixia for the first time scenario.

At that time, she was still full of curiosity and novelty about everything. It was also that time when she met Ye Haoqing. At that time, she still only wanted to live her own life well. How could she have thought that there would be these things behind? Thrilling experience and emotional entanglement.

Returning to the mansion feeling lost, the small courtyard was deserted.

As soon as Yun Xiyan stepped into the room, she saw a delicate and eye-catching red box on the table.

Ever since she was brought back by the queen mother and had a cold war with Ye Haoyu, those servants seemed to have decided that she would fall out of favor, who else would send things to her room?

He reached out to pick it up, and just about to open it, he saw Qingyu walking in from the outside, and asked casually, "Qingyu, who sent this?"

Qingyu looked at her, bit her lips and said, "This is from the Crown Princess."

"Crown Princess?" Yun Xiyan raised her eyebrows, what the hell was Lin Aoxue trying to do.

When I opened the box, I saw a pink camellia in the box, and a red invitation card under the camellia.

After opening it, it probably means that the princess will hold a tea party in the palace tomorrow, and will invite all the princes and concubines, as well as noble ladies from Lancheng, to participate. I hope Yun Xiyan can attend tomorrow.

Yun Xiyan's expression did not show any displeasure, but Qingyu obviously had her own worries, watching Yun Xiyan from the side and said cautiously, "If the Fourth Imperial Concubine doesn't want to go, you don't have to participate."

"Go, why don't I go? Not only am I going, but I also have to dress up." Yun Xiyan sneered, but she wanted to see what the hell Lin Aoxue was up to.If she wanted to take advantage of this incident and unite with everyone to suppress her, then she would let Lin Aoxue know that she, Yun Xiyan, is not easy to mess with.

Qingyu was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say, but she looked at Yun Xiyan with worry in her eyes.

The matter of Yun Xiyan being punished by the empress dowager was not made public, but which one of those prince concubines and noble women was not human, and seeing what the empress dowager meant, they deliberately wanted to suppress the four empress dowagers, so they did not block the news about it. Many people have already known.

She was afraid that after Yun Xiyan left, she would be bullied and ridiculed by those people. The fourth prince was in a cold war with the fourth imperial concubine. If the fourth imperial concubine was really bullied, no one would be able to stand up for her.

Yun Xiyan didn't have any worries about this, and asked Qingyu to wash and dress her early the next morning.

Wearing a veil skirt painted with tender pink lotus, two snow-white arms are looming under the pink veil, and a red gold lace bracelet inlaid with sapphires is on the wrist, which makes the wrist even more white.

The jet-black green silk is twisted into a fairy-looking bun, and on it is a phoenix hairpin inlaid with sapphires inlaid with sapphires, which is the same series as the bracelet. Several blue gemstones are randomly dotted on it, swaying in the hair.

Unlike the previous simple and elegant, Yun Xiyan looked noble and charming.

Qingyu looked at Yun Xiyan in the mirror in astonishment, and said with a smile, "The fourth imperial concubine is so beautiful, if the fourth prince is here, he will definitely be fascinated by the imperial concubine."

The smile on Yun Xiyan's face faded, everyone said that a woman is someone who pleases herself, but who is she dressing up for now?

A bitterness flashed in my heart, I got up and said lightly, "Let's go."

Qingyu stuck out her tongue, and accompanied Yun Xiyan out of the mansion.

Generally, after a prince gets married, he will move out of the palace and have his own mansion, but because of his status as a prince, he has always lived in the palace.

They changed to the carriage in the palace at the gate of the palace, and stopped directly in front of Hanguang Palace where the prince lived.

Before getting out of the car, I heard the singing of warblers and swallows at the gate of Hanguang Palace, it was very lively.

Qingyu helped Yun Xiyan get out of the carriage.

"Hey, who is this? With such a thick skin, he steals other people's husbands and dares to come out to meet people. I really don't know how to write the word shame."
