Chapter 24 A Wealthy Woman

Prince's Palace, Liu Goblet Courtyard.

Qu Waner shook the tea lid with a gloomy face, and the tea cover made a gentle friction sound on the teacup.

The room was silent, and the little maids were trembling, and no one dared to say anything. Even Green Pearl held her breath, afraid of gasping thickly, which shocked Qu Waner.

After a long time, the tea in the cup has gradually cooled down and is no longer steaming. Qu Waner closed the teacup and pushed it to the table: "Are you sure she entered the 'Heyuan'? Are you not mistaken?

"No, how dare I make a mistake? Sister Xiaolian is indeed going in the direction of Heyuan. Lvzhu breathed a sigh of relief, took two steps forward, stopped close to Qu Waner's side, and said respectfully, "Sister Xiaolian has always served the prince. Only the closest people around the prince are qualified to go to the lotus garden. It's also a coincidence today. In the morning, when I was in the big kitchen, I met Xiaolian's sister who asked for black soup, so I casually asked. Unexpectedly, Xiaolian said that it was Princess Cheng who was thirsty for enjoying flowers in the lotus garden.

"Hmm, didn't you say yesterday that the bitch was injured by the prince? Why did you go to Heyuan to enjoy flowers again today? Qu Waner's face was gloomy, and her eyes pricked the green beads like a needle.

Lvzhu shook. She was just a little maid in the royal palace. How could she know what the prince was thinking? However, at this time, she did not dare to refute, so she had to continue to say, "What the maidservant said yesterday was also true. Didn't the Empress also ask the bodyguard yesterday? As for how Princess Cheng went to the lotus garden to enjoy the flowers today, I don't know what's going on. The maidservant just listened to Xiaolian's sister and quickly came to report it to the Empress. Why don't you come and ask the prince to come and try?"

"Hmm!" Qu Waner snorted coldly. She was usually used to believe in green beads, and naturally she did not doubt her loyalty. She was just angry that Cheng Zifei could appreciate flowers in the lotus garden! That yard, before she entered the door, knew that it was a forbidden place for the king of Qi's mansion. Except for the prince and a few people who serve close to him, no one can go in. Otherwise, you can only get in and out!

After marrying to the Prince of Qi, she also acted coquettishly to Murong Xiuyuan, but Murong Xiuyuan never agreed to her request. Instead, he solemnly warned her not to approach Heyuan at will, otherwise she would bear the consequences! If you really want to see and appreciate the lotus, you can raise a few lotus plants in the pool of the goblet courtyard, but she is not allowed to transplant from the lotus garden.

Now the bitch of Cheng Zifei has not been favored by the prince for more than half a year and was beaten, but suddenly sent to Heyuan to recover! How can she not be jealous or angry?

Qu Waner knows Murong Xiuyuan's means too well. On the surface, he treats himself gently and considerately, but in essence, when did he not do everything he can to please him before he stay overnight? Murong Xiuyuan always gives you a sweet date after slap. But women, who can beat Murong Xiuyuan's gentle offensive?

Qu Wan'er bit her silver teeth secretly, but she was still unwilling. She disdains the beautiful scenery of Heyuan, but she is worried that Murong Xiuyuan will fake and fall in love with Cheng Zifei! That woman, a calamity face, is a little more touching than herself. If she hadn't been dodging, she was completely petite and couldn't get into Murong Xiuyuan's eyes, I'm afraid she would have become the most favored woman in the Prince of Qi's Mansion!

Now Cheng Zifei is injured, coupled with the face of the country, coupled with the cherished weakness, I'm afraid Murong Xiuyuan will see it in his heart, right?

Qu Waner thought for a moment, patted the table and stood up, swept her wide sleeves to the teacup, and splashed water on the table with a bang.

Several little maids in the room trembled and cried in their hearts: I don't know what the side concubine is going to lose her temper. Don't point it to yourself. Lvzhu knew that Qu Waner had made up her mind and wanted the prince to come over. She hurried forward to hold the teacup and gently asked Qu Waner for instructions: "Mother, what excuse do you use to invite the prince?"

"What do you think?" Qu Waner was really not angry, but her eyes were still gloomy.

"How about saying that the Empress is not feeling well and can't eat? The prince cherishes his mother and should come here. Green Pearl carefully looked at Qu Wan'er's expression and speculated. Or is the mother tired of lying in ** and remembering herself, and the maidservants dare not stop her?"

"Okay, just say one. Just invite the prince, and you can invite him." Qu Waner shook her hand unhappily and walked back to ** lying down. If Murong Xiu comes far away, she will naturally pretend to be sick. It is impossible for her to get out of bed after just one day. Although this move can invite the prince, it is always ** lying down, but it is also boring.

Green Pearl took the order and ordered the little maid to clean up the table when she left yesterday. He slipped to the small kitchen and asked him to prepare the dishes that the prince liked. If Murong Xiuyuan is happy, he may also have lunch with Qu Waner.

Murong Xiuyuan was annoyed with Cheng Zifei's mouth, and he came outside to report Qu Wan'er's big maid for a visit. A Cheng Zifei didn't agree with her, so she simply went to Qu Waner to find some comfort.

Waiting for Lvzhu to say any excuse, Murong Xiuyuan waved his hand and ordered Black Hawk: "I'll give it to you over there. The food and drink can't be deducted, but she can't do it if she wants to come out. Ask her, do you still want to see Minger? Ming'er also hates that old witch! I will help her hold Ming'er for three days at most. If she still doesn't want to say it, I have to tell Ming'er.

"Yes." The black eagle nodded and looked at the green bead when he turned around and went out.

Lvzhu's heart trembled. This person's eyes were so scary, even more frightening than when the prince's face was straight!

When Murong Xiuyuan spoke, she naturally dared not interrupt. At this moment, when I saw the black eagle leaving, I crisply reported, "Your Majesty, the side concubine..."

Before she opened her mouth, she was interrupted by Murong Xiuyuan. "Well, I know. Go back and tell Wan'er first that I will eat at her place this afternoon. Let her be good and don't be petty."

"Yes." Green Pearl lowered her head happily and bowed away. The task was completed so smoothly that the lady will definitely have a reward when she goes back.

----

In Heyuan, Cheng Zifei and Sima Tu have been staring for a long time.

Both of them were hungry. After the wind swept away the remnants of the food, they acted separately and turned the whole golden house up and down, left and right, but no water beads were found.

Think about it, it is impossible for the water beads to be directly stuffed there. It should be in a small box or other utensils. But in this yellow room, there is nothing else but yellow things! In the dark cabinet at the head of the bed, under the small table in front of the bed, in front of the dressing table, and even under the bed... Every place where something may be hidden has been turned over by them, except gold!

A table full of all kinds of complex gold jewelry and golden faces. Even in the dark box under the bed, there are rows of heavy and dazzling gold ingots and small gold bricks! It seems that the original owner of this lotus garden is a woman who loves money and gold!

But where did she hide the water beads?

Cheng Zifei and Sima Tu looked at each other in the face of a table of gold jewelry.

Although Cheng Zifei has no idea about the conversion of ancient coins, she also knows that in ancient times, no matter which country, gold is the main currency. She really doesn't know how much gold can be worth, but she can imagine that it must be a lot of money!

Sima Tu was surprised, but he didn't expect that someone would accumulate wealth more than his master! Looking at the piled up on the table, isn't that a superior production process? And all of them are made of ten pieces of red gold! How much is it worth? They have far exceeded the value of gold itself! If these things fall into the hands of the master, they will definitely produce more money!

He suddenly thought, if he couldn't find the water beads and took back this pile of red gold jewelry, could he also win the master's favor?

What does the water beads look like? Isn't it just a name, not the appearance of beads? Cheng Zifei casually picked up a golden handpin and asked Sima Tu. Now, she really doubts whether the water bead is a bead or not? If it is a bead, then according to its miraculous effect, is there a specific environment to preserve it?

There are often martial arts novels and fantasy movies in the previous life. Those treasures that multiply people's skills must always have their own mysterious powers! They always stay in a specific environment, waiting for predestined people to find out, and even some babies have a certain spirituality to choose their own masters.

"This..." Sima Tu scratched his head embarrassedly, looked at a pile of gold and sighed, "I don't know. Master only told me that Shui Lingzhu was the treasure of Wen's water system, and then the senior brother threw me here. No one told me anything else. If the water bead is not a bead, what can it be? I remember that the senior sister clearly said that the five spiritual beads in the world are similar!"

Cheng Zifei threw down the pincer in her hand in disappointment and continued to remind him to recall other clues: "So, did your sister tell you what kind of bead it is? Where is it possible to be hidden?

Sima Tu shook his head and leaned against the table and recalled, "That's what my senior sister said a long time ago. I haven't seen my senior sister for a long time, otherwise I can ask her for help in the exam. This time, my brother brought Yandu. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he clapped his hands and smiled, "I remember that my brother once said something when he took me to the hotel. At that time, I didn't quite understand it. Now think about it, maybe the water beads are hidden in the water!"

"Oh, what did your brother say?" Is it really the same as her? Are water beads also treasures with spiritual things? Cheng Zifei smiled secretly.

"My brother said, 'Water spirit pearl is the most precious treasure in the world. Like you who can't water, it's not easy to find it, but you can find a way to find it.' Cheng Cheng, my brother said that I can't find it if I don't know water. Is the water beads hidden in the water? How can we get it to come to us?" Sima Tu stood up with an excited face and grabbed Cheng Zifei's sleeve, and his eyes were full of surprise.
