Ci Jinzhi Chapter 104

  Xin You hesitated for a moment, then raised her foot and walked over.

  I have already met King Qing and Princess Zhaoyang, and I am close to meeting another prince.

   "Minnv met His Royal Highness King Xiu."

  In Daxia, python robes will be given to some courtiers, but only the royal family can embroider python patterns on the upper.

  Xiu Wang's eyes revealed surprise: "Have you seen Xiao Wang?"

   "It's the first time for a civilian girl to meet His Royal Highness King Xiu."

  Xiu Wang followed Xin You's eyes to see the toes of the shoes exposed under the hem of the clothes, and couldn't help laughing: "You are the owner of Qingsong Bookstore, Miss Kou?"

   "Minnv is right."

  Xiu Wang looked at this face that was somewhat similar to the eldest princess, and his eyes were as deep as a deep pool: "I heard that "Painted Skin" by your bookstore is very beautiful, Xiao Wang came to buy a set."

  Xin You immediately told Liu Zhou: "Go get a set of painted skins."

  As "Painted Skin" became a topic of conversation in the capital, many people who didn't read the script would join in the fun and buy it back, and the upper part of "Painted Skin" became a hot seller again. Shopkeeper Hu simply asked people to wrap part of the first volume and the second volume together with a waist seal, so as to facilitate customers who bought the whole volume at the same time.

  Liu Zhou brought "Painted Skin" and handed it to King Xiu with both hands.

  Xin You noticed that compared to King Qing's strict guarding when he traveled, King Xiu was much more casual, and those who didn't know thought it was just the son of an ordinary rich family.

   King Xiu took the book, and the attendants who followed him took out the money.

   "His Royal Highness Xiu Wang can come to the small shop, the small shop is full of splendor, how can he accept His Royal Highness's money." Xin You said politely.

  Xiu Wang's expression turned serious: "It's only natural to pay for buying things. If Miss Kou doesn't accept money, Xiao Wang will be embarrassed to come here in the future."

  Xin You heard what King Xiu said, and didn't hold back.

  Xiu Wang wandered around in the study hall, stopped in front of a bookshelf, and picked up a book of travel notes.

  Xin You's eyes flickered slightly.

   That's the travel notes that Mr. He read halfway through.

  Xiu Wang looked through it quietly, and didn't intend to leave for a while. Xin You couldn't keep staring at it like this, so she went to the counter and sat down silently.

  With Xiu Wang, the big Buddha, it is inconvenient for shopkeeper Hu to make plans, and stare at Xin You.

  Footsteps came from the door again, and a vermilion figure walked in.

   The moment he saw the person coming, Liu Zhou's first reaction was to jump up suddenly, blocking the direction of the row of bookshelves.

   "Master He, you are here." The boy lowered his voice unconsciously.

  He Qingxiao nodded slightly, looked past Liu Zhou, and saw King Xiu.

   King Xiu also looked over.

  The eyes of the two collided, and the atmosphere was weird for a moment.

   King Xiu put down the book and walked out.

   "His Royal Highness Xiu Wang." He Qingxiao greeted first.

  Different from King Qing's arrogance, King Xiu was much more polite to He Qingxiao: "I didn't expect Mr. He to come to buy books."

  The corners of Liu Zhou's mouth twitched, thinking that you have misunderstood.

  Xin You could see that the two of them didn't expect to meet each other, and the scene was awkward to maintain.

   Just as she was about to say something, there was another movement at the door.

   Several eyes looked at the door together.

  Three men came in this time, all young. The leader was thin and not tall, with a fair face and reserved eyes.

   This reserve turned to surprise when he saw King Xiu.

   King Xiu was also taken aback.

   Among the three people who came in, the one who walked ahead was actually the servant of Concubine Shu's palace.

  There are so many people in the palace, even if they have lived in the palace, they don't know too many people. But it's different in Concubine Shu's palace, it's hard for others not to remember any palace servants who can come to serve Concubine Shu, this Xiao Mingzi is one of them.

  Xiao Mingzi was debating whether to say hello, but when he saw King Xiu look away, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

  The empress did not let him go outside to buy books with great fanfare.

   "Where's the shopkeeper?" Xiao Mingzi looked around, and was stunned again when he saw He Qingxiao in Jinlinwei's costume.

  What's going on with this bookstore?

   Fortunately, shopkeeper Hu greeted him at this time: "Do you want to buy books, honored guest?"

   "Nonsense, why don't you buy books and come to the bookstore?" Xiao Mingzi said casually, realizing that Xiu Wang and the others were still there, he restrained himself slightly, "Cough, is there "Painted Skin?"

   "Yes, will the customer buy the lower part or the whole book?"

   "The whole book."

   Shopkeeper Hu winked, and Shitou quickly brought a set of "Painted Skin".

  Xiao Mingzi motioned for the person who came to take it, and said with a smile, "One set is not enough, let's take two more sets."

  The book that both the Empress and Prince Qing wanted to read, he had to read it anyway, and after reading it, he could resell it to other palace people and earn some pocket money.

  Shitou brought two more books.

  Xiao Mingzi's eyes fell on Xin You's face. He originally wanted to say a few words, but thinking about the people present, he decided to forget it.

   "Let's go." Xiao Mingzi raised his chin, turned and left with his attendant holding the book.

   King Xiu also has no intention of staying any longer.

   "Master He chooses slowly."

   After greeting He Qingxiao, King Xiu looked at Xin You: "Miss Kou, Xiao Wang is leaving."

   "His Royal Highness, walk slowly."

  Xin You sent King Xiu out of the house, and when he turned back, he saw Shopkeeper Hu thinking about it again. Liu Zhou looked relaxed and tidied up the bookshelf. Shitou served He Qingxiao a cup of tea, and went about his own business.

  As for He Qingxiao, he was drinking slowly from a teacup.

  Xin You was silent.

   These people really don't treat Mr. He as an outsider.

  Seeing Xin You coming in, He Qingxiao walked over.

   "The story of Miss Kou's rescue spread, and more and more guests came."

  Because of the status of Princess Zhaoyang, this guest refers to people like Xiuwang.

  Xin You heard He Qingxiao's reminder, and asked directly: "Are the three people who just arrived from the palace?"

  In addition to judging from the other party's appearance, the moment Xin You saw Xiao Mingzi, a picture appeared in front of her eyes.

   It was obviously in a palace, with many brocade curtains and a gorgeous dome. The fair young man who came to buy "Painted Skin" held the book respectfully in front of a beautiful woman in palace attire.

  I don't know what the young man said, but the beauty in the palace costume with a smile on her mouth was furious, and raised a book and slammed it on his face.

  The young man fell to his knees with a plop, and blood oozed from the crevices of his fingers covering his face.

  The scene ended here, and Xin You was deeply impressed by the hostility on the beauty's face.

  He Qingxiao took a deep look at Xin You.

  Miss Kou is really sharp.

   "Yes, they belong to Hanfu Palace, which is the bedroom of King Qing's biological mother Concubine Shu."

  Xin You bent her lips, her smile was not warm: "I didn't expect that the empress in the palace would also read folk tales."

  The servant brought "Painted Skin" back to the palace, what did he say that would make Concubine Shu so furious?

  Seeing that Xin You was lost in thought, He Qingxiao didn't bother any more, and silently walked to the familiar bookshelf, reaching out to the familiar place, only to find that the unfinished travel notes had changed places.

  He Qingxiao was silent for a while, picked up the travel journal, walked to the counter, and put the book on the counter.

  Liu Zhou has greeted countless guests recently, paying bills, collecting money, and giving change are so neat, he didn't realize what Mr. He was going to do for a while.

  He Qingxiao:?
