Chapter 36 Auntie, I want to be a queen

Chang'an City is still bustling with activity.

The Spring Flower Banquet had just begun to take off, and the good news that General Yun Lie had conquered Wutong Mountain spread quickly.

The early morning sunlight shone into the house. Yun Xihe slowly opened his eyes and stretched out comfortably.

"Miss, why did you wake up so early? It's still early, don't you want to take a nap?"

Yun Xihe sat up, with a rare softness between his cold brows and eyes, "I'm not going to sleep anymore. I'll take you out shopping today."

"Really?" Xiaoli was stunned, her face full of disbelief.

She has a lively and smart temperament, but the previous young lady always followed the rules of a noble lady, never leaving the front door or stepping outside the second door. As a maid, she had no chance to experience the prosperity outside.

When Yun Xihe saw her like this, the smile on his face deepened, "Of course it's true. The Spring Flower Banquet is coming soon. Although your lady has prepared clothes, doesn't she also need to buy some makeup and jewelry?"

"Yes!" Xiaoli was beaming with joy, and the movements of her hands became more agile.

After dinner, Yun Xihe took the two maids out and went out. She really needed a pair of jewelry that matched her flowing skirt.

In Nuanying Courtyard, Aunt Wang had already asked her maid Xiaoxiang to keep an eye on the news of Chunhe Courtyard. When she learned that Yun Xihe had left the house, she immediately said to Yun Ying'er, "Ying'er, you should be ready.

"

"Auntie, Ying'er listens to you..."

Yun Xihe got on the carriage, opened the curtain and looked at the spring scenery. Every tree and plant made her feel so comfortable, "Do you know which jewelry shop is the best in the capital?"

"My servant knows that there is Fei Pavilion! I heard that the most fashionable hairpins and hairpins in Chang'an City are all made by his skilled craftsmen."

Although Xiaoli doesn't go out often, she talks about these things very clearly.

"Go to Youfei Pavilion first."

Yun Xi and Hong Lip opened their mouths slightly and gave a faint order through the car curtain.

In just one cup of tea, the carriage stopped at the door of the store. Seeing the three masters and servants coming out of the car, who were dressed in extraordinary clothes, the clerk in the store hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Miss, are you here to choose jewelry? Go inside and invite them."

"Hmm? Take out all the latest styles and show them to me."

Yun Xihe looked around on the first floor. Although the shape was unique, the material was only average, and there was nothing that particularly impressed her.

When the waiter heard this, his eyes lit up, it seemed that this was a big customer!

"Yes, yes, Miss, you are here to invite me."

The waiter led the way and welcomed Yun Xihe to a flower hall in the backyard. There were also many jewelry placed here. At first glance, they were all shiny and moist, and were much higher quality than those displayed in the shop.

She caught sight of a Bu Yao at a glance.

That step is made of gold filigree as a hollow butterfly, with quivering butterfly wings. Below the step is a pearl the size of a grain of rice, which is luxurious and dignified, as if it has her name written on it.

"This one..."

Yun Xihe's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but take a step forward, wanting to pick up the step and appreciate it. But before his hand could touch it, he heard a soft female voice, "Take that step and let me

have a look."

That voice sounded both happy and angry, making people feel like their hearts melted.

Yun Xihe paused for a moment, then looked back and saw a young woman dressed equally delicately, commanding the clerks in the store very naturally.

"Xincheng County Lord is polite."

She recognized that this was Wei Feifei, the youngest daughter of the Wei Kang family in Zhongshu Ling, the companion of Princess Anyi. She was loved by the emperor because of her intelligence and well-behaved nature, and was granted the title of Princess of Xincheng County.

"Who is it? It turns out to be Sister Xihe! You don't have to be polite." Wei Feifei hurriedly turned aside to avoid her greeting and raised his hand to help her stand up.

In Chang'an City, no one knew that the eldest daughter of the Zhenguo General's Mansion was Yun Xihe.

Naturally, Wei Feifei had often heard of Yun Xihe's reputation, and knew very well that she was the future crown princess. Therefore, although her status was higher than hers, she still behaved very respectfully.

With a sweet smile on her face, she asked tentatively, "Just now, I saw that Sister Xihe is interested in Bu Yao?"

"The county lord spoke first, so it's naturally yours." Yun Xihe knew why she was showing kindness to him, but was unwilling to accept it. She refused lightly.

"Sister Xihe, this step is indeed beautiful, but I look at it and it matches your temperament even more." Wei Feifei pretended to give in again.

It's just a step, there is really no need to give way.

Yun Xihe could see that Wei Feifei really liked that Bu Yao, but she also wanted to sell herself a favor, so he said, "My daughter appreciates the kindness of the county master. The county master has outstanding vision and is so generous."

, I can’t take someone’s love away from me.”

Wei Feifei is young after all. Her daughter, who is sixteen or seventeen years old, is at the age where she loves to be coquettish and pretty. Seeing Yun Xihe's polite rejection, she couldn't hide her little thoughts, "Sister Xihe, then I

You're welcome."

The waiter who was waiting on the side was also a good person. When he saw this, he held Na Bu in front of Wei Fei Fei and said, "County Master, there is a mirror over there, you can try it."

The maid quickly shook the step on her head and tried it.

"Miss, you are beautiful, you will look good wearing this step!" The guy just said nice things.

Wei Feifei looked at herself in the mirror, delicate and pretty, and became more and more satisfied. She even turned around and asked Yun Xihe, "Sister Xihe, what do you think?"

Yun Xihe looked at it, wearing that luxurious and dignified Bu Yao on the pretty and delicate Wei Fei Fei's head, it was like a child secretly wearing an adult's clothes. Not only did it not fit, but it also took away the aura that was all over her body.

They were all suppressed.

But seeing that she liked her so much, Yun Xihe didn't say anything. He raised the corners of his lips slightly and said lightly, "I match you very well."

Wei Feifei couldn't stop the smile on her face.

Yun Xihe looked away. This step was gone. She could always look at something else.

She glanced around and saw a hollow-carved peony hairpin with tiny rubies dotted in the middle of the flower's stamens, which looked lifelike.

"How about this one?" Yun Xihe held it in his hair and compared it.

"It looks good!" Xiaoli nodded desperately. Although this hairpin is not as gorgeous as the one just now, it looks more dignified and luxurious, and it matches the lady's flowing skirt very well.

"Then this one..."

Yun Xihe was about to hand the hairpin to the waiter in the store to pay the bill, but Wei Feifei, who had finished trying the step wave, suddenly said, "Sister Xihe, I like the hairpin in your hand too! Can you?

let me try!"

"You like this one too?"

A trace of interest flashed in Yun Xi and Feng's eyes, and they handed the hairpin to her, "Then I'll give it a try to you."

The maid immediately stepped forward and took the hairpin, took it off neatly, pinned the hairpin in her bun, and held the mirror to show her, "County Lord, what do you think?"

Wei Feifei still smiled innocently and brightly. She turned around and asked, "Sister Xihe, what are you looking at?"

Yun Xihe's expression was indifferent and his smile was innocent, but that didn't mean he was really innocent. How could a person who was praised by the emperor himself for being smart and well-behaved be so ignorant of the world and take away the things he likes one after another?
