The Beloved in the Palm

Chapter 63 The King and Miss Xue

Prince Xuan was so generous that Xue Qingyin felt embarrassed.

She said in a tender voice: "Actually, I borrowed your name the other day, otherwise my father would be angry and might beat me up."

"He beat you?" Prince Xuan's eyes moved slightly.

It seemed that he extracted these three words from this sentence.

Xue Qingyin said lazily: "Didn't he slip away before he could beat me?"

Du Hongxue couldn't help laughing outside: "Good slip!"

Xue Qingyin asked: "Where are we going to meet Liu Xiuyuan?"

Prince Xuan moved his lips: "Lingxiu Pavilion."

"This name sounds familiar."

Du Hongxue interrupted outside: "How can it not sound familiar? This is the Xue family's property, Miss Xue, don't you remember it?"

Xue Qingyin smiled: "So he went to take care of our family's business."

Du Hongxue said: "The water should not flow to outsiders."

Xue Qingyin paused.

I thought to myself that I just fooled the servants and said "outsiders", so why are you saying that too?

After asking where they were going, Xue Qingyin began to think about another question: "I came out in a hurry, and I didn't bring Mu Li with me, and I didn't bring any servants. If others saw it, I'm afraid they would talk about it."

Du Hongxue said again: "It doesn't matter if there are no servants. Today we can be your servants."

Hearing this, Xue Qingyin leaned against the car window and smiled: "Then I will be bold enough to accept it." It was indeed not polite at all.

Du Hongxue and others used to be in the army, and they just liked such straightforward people.

He smiled again: "It doesn't matter if you don't bring Mu Li."

Xue Qingyin: "Huh?"

King Xuan casually opened a short box at his feet.

Xue Qingyin thought that thing was used to pad his feet.

As soon as the box was opened, the things inside were immediately revealed.

It was a Mu Li.

The jade-colored gauze was hung below, which was a common style.

But when Xue Qingyin leaned over to pick it up, she only heard the sound of jade jingling.

Now she looked at the full appearance of the Muli carefully.

It turned out that in addition to the light gauze, it was also strung with pearls and jade with gold thread.

The pearls were round and radiant.

The jade was transparent and white as fat.

It was luxurious but not frivolous.

Xue Qingyin couldn't help but say it was amazing!

"The people in His Royal Highness Xuan Wang's mansion are really thoughtful." Xue Qingyin said as she grabbed the Muli and put it on her head.

"Why are the people in the mansion thoughtful?" Du Hongxue asked.

Xue Qingyin tilted her head: "Did His Royal Highness prepare it himself?"

Such a small thing doesn't make sense.

But in a flash, she thought again... Such a Muli covered with pearls and jade, which is expensive, seems to be really no one dares to prepare such a Muli without the instruction of King Xuan.

Before Du Hongxue could speak again, Xue Qingyin sighed and said, "Now I owe your Highness more and more."

After that, she said quickly, "Today I will treat your Highness to Paoyougao."

"How can it be considered an invitation if the lady treats guests in her own store?" Du Hongxue said again.

"That's not in her own store." Xue Qingyin opened the curtain.

The carriage was heading to the East Market at this time, and there were many restaurants and shops along the way.

"Stop here." Xue Qingyin said.

The carriage stopped as she said.

Xue Qingyin thought that the coachman in the Xuanwang Mansion listened to her.

At this time, she touched the purse she brought with her.

Took out a few loose coins from it, and handed it out through the window: "Two Paoyougao."

The people on the stall stared at Du Hongxue's dress in horror, swallowed their saliva, and then picked up two Paoyougao, wrapped them and handed them out.

"Be careful of the heat, my dear." He said, lowering his head to look at the hand that was stretched out.

Snow-white, dazzling.

He dared not look at it any more, and raised his eyes carefully, only to see the muli on the woman's head, with the gold thread on it faintly shining.

And she was sitting beside him, and could only glimpse her side face.

This made the stall owner vaguely remember that he had seen His Royal Highness Xuan Wang victoriously that day...

This is...Xuan Wang? !

The boss thought vaguely.

The woman took the oil cake and quickly gave one to the "Xuan Wang" beside her.

"The shell is crispy and the inside is sweet and soft. Your Highness, please try it." Xue Qingyin said.

Xuan Wang lowered his head and actually took a bite.

He asked: "Is this a thank you gift?"

After buying two, the Xue family girl even took one for herself.

"Well." Xue Qingyin asked: "Is it sweet?"

Xuan Wang: "...Sweet."

He doesn't like sweet food.

Xue Qingyin said, "What does your Highness lack? Nothing. Whatever I give you as a thank you gift is just icing on the cake, it's really bland."

Is this the excuse why she only gave flowers in the past few times?

The King raised his eyebrows calmly.

"But this bite of sweetness is unique, so I will give it to your Highness. I hope your Highness will drink honey every day from now on, without any worries." Xue Qingyin said that without blushing at all.

As she spoke, she lowered her head and took a bite of the oil cake, thinking, it's delicious, I will dig this boss to the farm one day.

So she stuck her head out and said, "Tomorrow I will send someone to invite the boss to my house for a chat."

The boss widened his eyes, agreed repeatedly in disbelief, and then watched them go away.

Du Hongxue asked: "What did you talk about with this guy?"

"How much money would it cost to invite him to the farm to make this fried oil cake?" Xue Qingyin paused and asked him: "Have you eaten this in the mansion?"

"No." Du Hongxue shook his head.

King Xuan seemed to see what Xue Qingyin was thinking, and said, "There is none in the palace either."

"That's good." Xue Qingyin smiled with satisfaction.

Du Hongxue reacted: "So Miss Xue also did business while she was here?"

Xue Qingyin asked, "Is it not possible?"

"Of course it is possible." But... Du Hongxue thought to himself that he had never seen a woman who was with His Royal Highness King Xuan and still had the mind to think about these things.

So Miss Xue is different from them.

Du Hongxue sighed in his heart.

"I just borrowed your name, thank you." Xue Qingyin's voice sounded again.

"Where did you borrow it?" Du Hongxue wondered.

Xue Qingyin said, "The people at the stall saw your dress, and vaguely saw the person sitting in the carriage, and naturally guessed that your identity was either rich or noble. I invited him again, and he naturally did not refuse at all."

Du Hongxue understood.

But this name borrowing is so light that the person being borrowed will never be unhappy, but will only think that she is smart and likable.

The balance in this... is really just right.

The carriage continued to move forward.

Xue Qingyin bought some more food along the way.

Most of them bought two portions and gave one portion to King Xuan.

King Xuan tasted them one by one, but he would not say whether they were delicious or not.

Du Hongxue looked a little envious and couldn't help asking: "How does Miss Xue know so many delicious things?"

Xue Qingyin thought to herself, of course, it was because last time, He Songning, the sucker, bought her all the way along the way.

Next time she goes to Xishi, she must think of an excuse to let He Songning, the sucker, go with her.

It's too much of a loss for her to pay for it herself, so it's more comfortable to get He Songning to buy it for her.

She thought so in her heart, but she said: "Oh, my brother likes to buy these things for me. After eating a lot, he naturally knows where the best food is."

Du Hongxue was puzzled.

Really? It sounds like the relationship between the siblings is pretty good. But last time Fang Chengzhong said that he ran into Miss Xue and his brother at the farm and they were at loggerheads.

Xue Qingyin thought to herself that I would not leave any handle for He Songning outside.

He Songning is too vindictive.

It's okay to scold him in front of him, but it's too risky to scold him in front of others.

While eating and drinking, they finally arrived at the Lingxiu Pavilion.

Xue Qingyin jumped off the carriage first and couldn't help but burp lightly.

Before King Xuan came down, they all heard a scolding.

"Get out!"

Two burly waiters came out of the Lingxiu Pavilion.

Under their pushing, a thin, disheveled and dirty man fell outside the threshold.

"You won't listen to anything I say. Is this the place you should be?" the waiter scolded.

The man stood up, but his back seemed straight: "I told you a long time ago that I have an appointment here, why don't you let me in?"

"Well, why bother talking to him anymore? The master's people will be here soon. Isn't it unlucky to see these things at the door?" A man who looked like a shopkeeper came out with a sullen face.

"How come I didn't know that the master sent someone?" Xue Qingyin interrupted.

The shopkeeper didn't recognize her, so he said: "May I ask who this noble man is?"

Before Xue Qingyin answered.

Another carriage approached, and the one driving the carriage was a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man looked very familiar.

Isn't this the housekeeper of the Xue family?

Xue Qingyin raised her eyebrows and said.

The housekeeper Xue jumped out of the car, and the shopkeeper of course saw it. His face changed immediately, and he said in a deep voice: "Hurry, clean up, the master's people are here!"

The housekeeper Xue opened the curtain of the carriage, and a young girl came out from it.

"This is our second Miss Xue." Steward Xue said before turning around.

Her father specially sent a steward to support her, and Xue Qinghe's nervousness dissipated a lot, and even her headache was gone.

But when she came down, she saw... Xue Qingyin first!

At this time, the steward naturally noticed it, and the smile on his face froze, and his tone was weird: "... Why is the eldest, the eldest lady here?"

"Also?" Xue Qingyin tilted her head, "This word is used very well."

She said, but no longer looked at them.

Instead, she turned her eyes to the embarrassed man who was driven out, and asked politely with a bow: "Are you Mr. Liu?"

"I am Liu Xiuyuan, do you recognize me?" The man was surprised, and raised his hand to brush the hair on his face.

Liu Xiuyuan.

Such a familiar name. The shopkeeper thought.

Xue Qinghe usually reads a lot, so she reacted immediately: "Liu Xiuyuan, the sage of calligraphy?"

Hearing her honorific, the man's face suddenly turned cold and he said: "What sage of calligraphy?"

Seeing that he dared to treat the host so well, the shopkeeper also said coldly: "Second Miss, take a closer look, does he look like the sage of calligraphy you mentioned? He looks more like a beggar."

Xue Qingyin glanced at the shopkeeper and said: "I have an appointment with Mr. Liu."

The shopkeeper and housekeeper Xue's expressions suddenly became strange.

Xue Qingyin was speechless. Oh, I forgot that women can't meet with men alone now. That's called a private meeting.

At this time, on the carriage behind her.

The man stretched out his hand and slowly rolled up the curtain, saying in a cold tone: "It's me and Miss Xue who have an appointment with him."

The curtain was indigo brocade.

The man's fingers were bent, and the knuckles that hooked the curtain were powerful and noble.
