After the Cultivation and Weaving Festival, the new robes cut that day were sent to remote and barren land by the Ministry of Households. This good thing that benefits the people is naturally worthy of praise, but for the people of Lijing City, it is not this thing that deserves the most attention, but two other things.

One of them is that Su Wanxiang and Shang Sisi even created an original embroidery method. This kind of thing has never happened after Bai Suxuan, and people are full of curiosity about this novel embroidery method. All of a sudden, women in and out of Gyeonggi started a trend of learning one-sided double-picture embroidery.

The other thing is the marriage between King Anling Yan Su and Su Wanxiang. Emperor Qing personally promised the marriage in the presence of his ministers at the Cultivation and Weaving Festival, and the next day he sent the chief eunuch Li Ying to Su Qing's mansion to make a formal order. Since Su Wanxiang's wish at Cianguan Green Parasol Mountain has not yet expired, the marriage was scheduled for three months later, which is August. As for the marriage between Shang Sisi and Nie Ren, Shang Chuchu and Qin Feifan, because it involves Yunshao Country, the date has not been set yet. The marriage of Yan Su and Su Wanxiang came from behind and settled before them.

The news came out after Li Ying arrived at Su Mansion to declare an order. Because the person involved, Yan Su, had a great reputation in Lijing City, this marriage spread very quickly. Before long, even the children in the streets and alleys of Lijing City knew about it.

People's attention to this matter is beyond imagination, so when Qin Jiu chooses rouge hairpin ring at the rouge shop in Xishi, he can hear people talking about it from time to time.

It seems impossible to say that there is no feeling in my heart. People are not plants, even if they are cold and heartbroken, sometimes they still feel uncomfortable.

"Unexpectedly, it was King Anling and Miss Su who booked a kiss. Why didn't I hear that King Anling liked Miss Su before, I only knew that King Yan liked Miss Su." A woman in pink chose rouge while lowering her. Said the voice.

The green-dressed woman next to her smiled: "Yes, I didn't know it before. However, since King Anling has booked a kiss with Miss Su, he must have liked Miss Su very much. After all, it has been more than three years since Miss Bai had an accident. Now, he must have come out of that relationship, and I am also happy for King Anling, and hope that the emperor will not destroy them this time."

The powder-clothed woman joked: "Don't you like King Anling, he married someone else, are you happy for him?"

The green-clothed woman blushed, looked around, glanced at Qin Jiu, stretched out her finger to pinch the pink-clothed woman's arm, and said in a low voice: "You keep your voice down and see if I don't tear your mouth."

The pink-clothed woman curled her lips, "I like King Yan for what I'm afraid of, and I'm not afraid that people will know."

The green-clothed woman smiled: "Then why don't you ask the matchmaker to go, maybe King Yan will marry you."

"What nonsense are you talking about, how can a woman go to ask for a kiss." The pink-dressed woman tried to pinch the green-dressed woman, and the two laughed together.

Speaking of Yan Su and Su Wanxiang's marriage so much attention, the main reason is Yan Yu. There are more people who know that Yan Yu likes Su Wanxiang than they know that Yan Su likes Su Wanxiang. After all, it's hard to know Yan Yu's high-profile affection during the last Yuan Festival.

Qin Jiu chose three boxes of rouge powder and two boxes of lipstick. When she woke up this morning, she felt that her face was getting paler. If she didn't cover her face with rouge, she would be noticed sooner or later. The shopkeeper wrapped the rouge, the loquat paid the money, and stepped forward to take the rouge.

This rouge shop is located in the West Market. To say that the most prosperous street in Lijing City is Tianmen Street. Looking at it, there are restaurants and inns, pearl agate, gold and silver shops, but the busiest place in Lijing City is not Tianmen Street. It's the West Market.

Stepping into the West Market, those big restaurants and inns are gradually disappearing. The painting and calligraphy shops, cloth shops, pastry shops, rouge gouache shops and small toy shops are dizzying. The fragrance of rouge gouache and the sweet scent of pastries fill the air. There is a smell of late spring.

Qin Jiu left the rouge shop and turned to the Jinji pastry shop across the street. This pastry shop is well-known in Lijing City, and the treasurer Jinda makes excellent pastries, so this shop is very prosperous. Back then, even she and Princess Zhaoping in the deep palace heard about the reputation of this shop and bought it several times in disguise. Qin Jiu's favorite is the lotus cake in this shop. It is said that the method is very complicated, and the royal kitchen in the palace can't make it.

I haven't eaten it for many years. The sweet hibiscus scent, pale red color and hibiscus flower-shaped pastries are the food that Qin Jiu cannot resist. But Zhaoping disliked it because she said it tasted strange.

Loquat looked at the sky and asked: "Why hasn't Princess Zhaoping come yet?"

Qin Jiu smiled slightly, "Since Follower Cai said that Princess Zhaoping will go out of the palace to buy cakes today, she will definitely come, and we will wait."

Qin Jiu stood outside the Jinji Pastry Shop, recalling the taste of hibiscus cake. She wondered if she wanted to buy something else, pretending to have been shopping in the West Market for a long time. At this moment, she suddenly saw a curvy girl. The figure flashed in the pastry shop. She turned around quickly and turned to the painting and calligraphy shop on the side.

Qin Jiu pretended to admire a painting in the shop, but from the corner of his eyes, he swept towards the pastry shop. After a while, saw Su Wanxiang Yunyu Su skirt curled up from the Jinji pastry shop, accompanied by the two maids. Came out.

The two maids were holding two boxes of pastries in their hands. Qin Jiu's gaze swept over Su Wanxiang before focusing on the Biyi maid who followed her.

This maid Qin Jiu recognized Cui Lan. She was the one who tried to assassinate Shang Chuchu in the Moon Villa of Jiuman Mountain's royal courtyard that day. However, during the trial by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Cui Lan reversed the case. Later, this Cui Lan was issued from the palace, and was later met and taken in by Su Wanxiang. Since then, he has followed Su Wanxiang. Cui Lan has a high martial arts skill and has since become Su Wanxiang's effective maid and guard.

"Girl, do you like this painting?" The shopkeeper of the calligraphy and painting shop said ambiguously.

Qin Jiu's thoughts were not on painting at all. He was just looking at the movement outside by watching the calligraphy and painting. At this time, when asked by the shopkeeper, he nodded and said: "I like it very much. Please help me put it away, and the shopkeeper can take the loquat."

Loquat looked at Qin Jiu with a weird look, but Qin Jiu didn't care because her attention was still outside.

A magnificent chariot came slowly, and several men's maids were riding on the tall horse, surrounded by the chariot. The pearl curtain in front of the carriage was half-dangling, golden tassels were flying in the wind, and a graceful figure was vaguely seen inside. The car stopped in front of the Jinji Pastry Shop, and Princess Zhaoping, dressed in men's clothing, walked slowly down.

In the past, when Zhaoping and her pretended to go out, it was quite low-key. They were always afraid that others would know their identities and see that they were women pretending to be men. They were afraid that news of their going out would reach Emperor Qing and Empress Bai.

I don't want to think that after a few years, Princess Zhaoping changed her previous style and became high-profile. Speaking of which, Zhaoping does not live in the deep palace now, although he has been married, after all, he is married and lives in his own house, so Emperor Qing must not care about it.

There were a lot of people on the street, but Princess Zhaoping appeared in such a big formation, and the hustle and bustle of the crowd immediately aroused a commotion and dodged one side. But Su Wanxiang saw Zhaoping and came forward to give a salute.

Princess Zhaoping glanced at Su Wanxiang indifferently, and walked past her to Jinji Pastry Shop, but when she passed by Su Wanxiang's two maids, she suddenly stopped.

Qin Jiu looked a little surprised when he saw Princess Zhaoping's gaze glance over the pastry box that Su Wanxiang had bought.

"Girl, do you see any other favorite paintings?" the shopkeeper of the calligraphy and painting shop asked with a smile.

Qin Jiu smiled and said, "Thank you for the shopkeeper, I will look at it again."

The shopkeeper made a business and was in a good mood. You know, the painting that Qin Jiu just bought is very valuable. He led Qin Jiu to sit on a chair and spread the paintings and calligraphy in the store on the table for Qin Jiu to watch.

Su Wanxiang and Princess Zhaoping exchanged greetings for a while, and then left in a carriage. Princess Zhaoping entered the Jinji Pastry Shop. After a while, Princess Zhaoping and several menswear maids holding pastry boxes walked out of the shop.

Seeing that the time had come, Qin Jiu walked out of the calligraphy and painting shop, pretending to meet Princess Zhaoping by chance, and bowed slightly.

"I didn't expect to meet the princess here. Did the princess come here to buy cakes?" Qin Jiu asked with a slight smile.

Princess Zhaoping first saw Qin Jiu for a moment, and then smiled faintly: "What a coincidence, I just met Miss Su, and now I met Jiuye again. I'm here to buy sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, and Jiuye also came to buy pastries. ?"

"I'm here to buy rouge gouache. I accidentally found a painting, so I bought it too." Qin Jiu went around Qiubo and motioned to Loquat to open the painting he had just bought in the calligraphy and painting shop to Princess Zhaoping.

Loquat had always followed Qin Jiu's words, but this time he did not know why, holding the scroll without blinking, it seemed that he did not see Qin Jiu's wink.

Qin Jiu frowned, but Princess Zhaoping didn't intend to watch the painting.

"Princess, that day you said you wanted a sachet full of worry-free flowers. I don’t know what color the princess wants. I met the princess here today. I know that there is a shop that has very good fabrics. Far away, can the princess go with me to select fabrics when I have time?"

Princess Zhaoping smiled and said: "Ninth Master is polite, Si Zhifang should have a lot of fabrics, but I made Ninth Master bother to choose in the shop. That's it, so good."

At the moment, Qin Jiu and Zhaoping crossed the street together and walked to the end of the West Market. There is an alley here with cloth shops outside. However, inside the alley is a place where ordinary people live, with rough bricks and shaved tiles. Extremely shabby.

Qin Jiu led Princess Zhaoping into a fabric shop, and chose a lake-green fabric. This color fabric was paired with golden worry-free flowers, and the embroidery must be extremely elegant. When the two came out of the cloth shop and passed the alley, they saw that the alley was full of people, which was extremely lively.

－－－－－－Off-topic －－－－－－

This chapter may be a little difficult to understand. It looks like this. Explain that Qin Jiu deliberately met Zhaoping in order to lead him to the entrance of the alley. This is a game for Yan Min. It will be clear in the next chapter.

Thank you for your patience. kisses.
