old queen

Chapter 160

After asking the peddler the price, she casually put her hand into the purse, and her face turned pale.

Throwing the money to the peddler quickly, she walked forward in two steps in three steps, finally caught up with the two people in front, stopped them, and stretched out the claws of a few cute sugar figures on the side of the road, saying with a bitter face: "Madam, I can't buy any more. You've already spent almost all your money."

"Ah? So fast?" Blinking, Mu Mingchun withdrew his paws towards Tang Ren, and whispered in surprise.

She remembered that when she went out, she specially brought a lot of money, just to make herself able to squander it!
"You don't even look at how many things you bought!" Li Qingwan shook her head and said with a serious face, "From the time you left the barracks until now, you've been shopping all the way, buying something interesting and delicious when you see it, Buy whatever you see that you think will be used in the future, buy this, buy that, it’s been half an hour, and I haven’t seen you let go of that stall. I see, if you continue to buy, you’ll go back later , we have to ask the emperor to order someone to set up a tent for you to store these sundries!"

"Uh, is it that serious?"

Embarrassed by her harsh words, Mu Mingchun looked back and found that the ten soldiers who followed them were holding several large and small boxes in their hands.

It was supposed to follow her to keep her safe.Good thing now, he has become her royal porter.

Mu Mingchun really felt ashamed now.

Although I was like this in the past, when I made money, I went out to play casually, and I came to be as happy as I could be.Anyway, for her, money spent can be earned back, but happiness can't.

Therefore, she always buys what she likes when she sees it, and never thinks too deeply.

However, now I am at the border.

During this period of time, I saw a lot of displaced border people and knew that most of them were suffering from the war.

On the other hand, as the empress of a country, I live such a comfortable life and spend so much money...

She felt ashamed herself.

"I was wrong." She lowered her raised hands and lowered her head incidentally, she said apologetically.

"Ma'am, it's good that you know your mistake." Seeing that she was sincerely repentant, the serious expression on Li Qingwan's face softened a little, and she said softly, "It's not too late to make up for it. You should stop now, save some money, and you will be fine." Save the emperor some burden."

"Okay!" Mu Mingchun nodded, and he really couldn't buy it anymore.

Raising her eyes, she saw a big signboard of "Tong Ji" not far away, and she was startled——

The Tong family has expanded their business territory to the border?
It's amazing.

I just don’t know if the tea and pastries here are as delicious as those in Beijing.

Having said that, since she came to the border, she hasn't tasted the delicacies of the capital for a long time!

Then he turned around and said to the two girls: "I'm tired after walking for so long. Let's go and have some tea and have a rest!"

"Yes."

Li Qingwan and Liu Yingge hurriedly said, supporting her on one left and one on the right, and the three of them walked slowly towards the teahouse.

After entering the teahouse, seeing a few people dressed in decent attire, a clever waiter came to greet them and sent them directly to the small private room on the second floor.

The three of them went in and waited for Mu Mingchun to sit down before Li Qingwan came out and said to the ten people standing outside: "Put your things inside and watch outside."

"Yes."

Ten human beings came in one file at a time, piled up the big and small boxes in their hands to the height of a hill, then strode out, divided into two sides and stood at the door.

Ten tall, strong and healthy men, all of whom were soldiers, stood together, full of oppressive force.

The waiter in the shop seemed to be oppressed too, and he didn't dare to make a sound.

He swallowed his saliva when all ten people had gone out and couldn't see him anymore. He carefully looked towards Mu Mingchun and asked in a low voice, "Madam, what would you like to drink?"

"You can serve us whatever tea is the best! A few more of your best pastries in your shop, and that's it." Mu Mingchun said in a bored manner as he picked up a small teacup on the table and played with it.

"okay!"

The waiter hurriedly nodded, turned around and planned to go out.

"By the way, when preparing refreshments, don't forget to also prepare one for the ten people outside. They are with us." Facing the back of the shop waiter, Mu Mingchun said again.

"No problem!" There was a pause in the footsteps, the waiter turned around and smiled, and said loudly, "Madam, please wait a moment, it will be ready in a while."

"Ah."

Mu Mingchun nodded and let him go.

The door of the private room was closed, and there were only three of them in the room.

Putting down the cup, and stroking his stomach that was already as big as a ripe watermelon with both hands, Mu Mingchun smiled and asked softly: "Yingge, Qingwan, you have been in the frontier for a while, are you used to the life here?"

"Get used to it!" Liu Yingge nodded hurriedly and said loudly.

Li Qingwan gave her a white look, and said coolly: "You have been traveling with your father since you were young, and you are very adaptable. Even if you are thrown into the deep mountains and old forests, you must be able to get out alive. Now it is just a frontier, and you will naturally die soon. I can get used to it."

"Hehehe." Not paying attention to her slightly contemptuous words, Liu Yingge chuckled and said softly, "Anyway, I've almost gotten used to it on the third day here."

Then, he turned to Mu Mingchun and asked softly, "Madam, how about you? Are you still used to it?"

"Me?" Mu Mingchun smiled lightly, nodded and said, "It's not bad! The people here are simple and simple. Although there are more men in the barracks, they speak straight to the point without beating around the bush. It's easier to get along with those people in the capital who play tricks all day long. There are many. Moreover, the land here is sparsely populated, the scenery is good, the air is clear, and I live comfortably!"

"Since you are comfortable, madam, that's fine. We don't care." Li Qingwan also smiled and said softly.

Before he could say a few words, he heard a light knock on the door.

"Ma'am, tea and pastries are here!"

Afterwards, the waiter in the shop shouted enthusiastically.

"Come in!" Li Qingwan shut up and said to the outside world.

"Yes." With their permission, the shop waiter pushed the door in with a plate, and carefully arranged the plate full of things on the table.

Rewarding him with a piece of silver the size of a fingernail, Li Qingwan waved: "You can go."

"Thank you ma'am!" After receiving the silver, he couldn't help but the waiter nodded and bowed hurriedly, and said repeatedly, "The little one has stepped back, you take it slowly. If you have any orders, just call the young one."

"Got it." Li Qingwan waved his hand and said calmly.

At the moment when the waiter in Li Qingwan's Dafa shop left, Liu Yingge picked up the teapot, brought Mu Mingchun a cup of tea, put it in front of her, and said softly, "Ma'am, drink some tea first!"

"Yeah." Mu Mingchun nodded, took the teacup, "you drink too."

"Okay." Liu Ying sang, and poured a glass for Li Qingwan and herself.

Pick up the teacup, uncover the lid, and smell the tea——

Well, not bad, refreshing, refreshing, not bad.It was Biluochun.

Use the tea lid to remove the froth, bring it to his mouth and take a sip, savoring it carefully, Mu Mingchun's expression suddenly changed slightly.

This tea...

I don't know why, but the feeling of reaching the mouth made her feel a little weird.

Quickly took out the handkerchief and spit out the tea in his mouth.

"Ma'am, what's the matter? Is the tea not to your liking?"

Seeing her like this, Liu Yingge's expression also changed, and she hurriedly asked.

"No." Mu Mingchun shook his head, and said softly, "Yingge, take a sip of this tea and see how it tastes?"

"Yes." Liu Yingge said, picked up the quilt in front of her and took a big gulp.

Immediately, she had a relaxed and happy expression, smiling all over her face, and praised loudly: It's delicious!This tea is really fragrant, even more fragrant than the ones I sang in the capital! "

"Really?" Frowning slightly, Mu Mingchun turned to Li Qingwan again, and said softly, "Qingwan, take a bite of pastry."

"Yes."

Li Qingwan said, twisting a piece of pastry into his mouth.

"How does it taste?" Mu Mingchun asked hurriedly.

Li Qingwan nodded, and said in a low voice: "It's delicious. It's crispy and delicious, and it melts in your mouth. It tastes better than what I ate in the capital."

"is it?"

Hearing this, Mu Mingchun frowned even tighter, and Mu Mingchun's face gradually became serious.

"Ma'am, what's wrong?"

With her complexion, her mood became a lot heavier, Li Qingwan asked hurriedly.

Mu Mingchun didn't answer, but looked at them, and hurriedly asked: "Have you swallowed the tea and pastries?"

"Swallow it." The two said in unison.

An anxious expression appeared on his face for a moment, and Mu Mingchun said sharply: "You two silly girls, I told you to taste it, but I didn't tell you to swallow it!"

Uh……

If you taste it and don't swallow it, do you spit it out like her?
The two were scolded in a fog.

After looking at each other, Liu Yingge asked softly, "Ma'am, is there anything wrong with the tea and pastries?"

"I don't know for the time being, it's just my suspicion right now. However, there should be a result soon." Mu Mingchun said, looking back and forth at their faces.

Seeing this from her, the two of them immediately had a bad feeling in their hearts.

Li Qingwan moved his mouth, just about to say something, but immediately felt a strong sense of dizziness.

As soon as her eyes went dark, she fell headfirst on the table and passed out.

"Sister Qingwan—"

Seeing this, she was shocked, and Liu Yingge yelled hastily.

But before she could finish her sentence, a strong dizziness also hit her, and she also fell limply on the table.

Then, just listen outside 'plop! ''thump! 'The sound is endless.

When it was his own bodyguards who were also drugged.

It turned out that there was a problem!

Moreover, the medicinal power does not seem to be weak.

Looking at the two fallen girls in front of him, Mu Mingchun nodded, thinking to himself.

Then, the person who gave the medicine should also come over!

Taking a deep breath, she sat up straight and waited for someone to come.

Anyway, her own people were also overwhelmed by the medicine, and she was the only one left in the group who was a big belly woman.If you want to run and have nowhere to run, why not stay here and treat it as an adventure!
