I sell morning tea in ancient times

Tao Zhiyun suddenly realized that she had been seeing Qi Yi all the time recently.

This day, she was resting in the lobby after finishing her work, talking to Aunt Xiufang who was sitting at the counter, and inadvertently turned her head and saw Qi Yi again.He seemed to feel Tao Zhiyun's gaze, raised his eyes slightly, and looked at her with a smile.

Qi Yi is as gentle as jade, and as elegant as bamboo. He just sat quietly in the corner of the lobby, wearing a white uniform, with a smile on his handsome face, like the first ray of warm wind in spring, or like a summer breeze. The stars covering the entire sky at night make people's hearts beat and dazzled.

Tao Zhiyun's face turned red all of a sudden.She nodded to Qi Yi, then turned her head quickly, leaving him with a round head.

The smile on his face deepened, and the wives and ladies who were watching him quietly couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.

The cold and soft fingertips lightly touched Tao Zhiyun's cheeks. Aunt Xiufang still had melancholy on her brows, but her eyes were slightly bent, and she laughed softly, "Miss' cheeks are red and hot."

Tao Zhiyun said in a panic, "I've had enough rest, and I'm going back to East Kitchen."

Aunt Xiufang was amused in her heart, but the melancholy between her brows was somewhat washed away.She looked at Tao Zhiyun's flustered back, and turned her head to Qi Yi who was looking at Tao Zhiyun with a smile, and a guess arose in her heart.

Just as she was thinking about something, she suddenly heard familiar footsteps, looked up and saw Li Rui striding in.

Her brows and eyes froze instantly, and even the remaining melancholy froze, she lowered her head again, and looked at the ledger in her hand again.

Li Rui skillfully found a seat and sat down. After ordering tea, he looked at Aunt Xiufang with tangled and doubtful eyes from time to time as before.

She obviously doesn't look like Qin Han at all.Different looks, different temperaments.Qinhan is as delicate and beautiful as a lotus, and her intelligence is stronger; her appearance is more elegant, and her temperament is gentle and gentle.But for some reason, he always sees Qin Han's shadow on her body.

Qin Han.He said the name silently, feeling a dull pain in his heart.

three days later.

Early in the morning, Meteor hurriedly asked Tao Zhiyun for leave.

When Meteor was on leave, Aunt Xiufang gave her a suspicious look.

Soon it was evening.It was extremely dark tonight, the moon was completely covered by dark clouds, and the stars were quietly hidden. The last few remaining cold winds were blowing unwillingly, bringing a bit of chill.

Aunt Xiufang took out the jade pendant hidden under the pillow.Under the candlelight, the jade pendant became more and more translucent, and the familiar lines of hibiscus on it brought back many memories for her.She looked at the dancing and flickering candles, her eyes flickering.Finally, her right hand slowly formed a fist, holding the jade pendant firmly in her hand.

After a while, she stood up, opened the door and walked out.

"Du, dun, dun," a soothing and rhythmic knock sounded on the door, attracting the attention of Tao Zhiyun who was reading a book at the desk.

It's so late, who will come to her?

Tao Zhiyun was puzzled and got up to open the door.

The door opened, revealing a beautiful face.Aunt Xiufang lowered her eyebrows slightly, but she had a gentle smile on her face.

"Miss."

"Why is aunt here?" Tao Zhiyun's eyes showed surprise, she turned sideways and let Aunt Xiufang in, "It's very cold outside the room, aunt come in quickly to avoid the cold."

Aunt Xiufang didn't dare to look at Tao Zhiyun, she just nodded with a smile and walked into the room.

Tao Zhiyun was puzzled while closing the door.Strange, why does she feel that her aunt is acting weird tonight?

She closed the door and turned around, a snow-white veil came towards her.Caught off guard, she smelled a faint fragrance, her mind suddenly became dizzy, and her body became weak.She was shocked, and tried to open her eyes wide, looking at Aunt Xiufang.

Aunt Xiufang supported her, her eyes were shining brightly.

"I'm sorry." Tao Zhiyun only heard these three words, and then completely passed out.

Aunt Xiufang helped Tao Zhiyun to sit by the bed, and quietly listened to the sound of fighting outside.

After a long while, the silence outside was restored again.

"Du, Du, Du," there was another knock on the door, but this time the person in charge of the room was Aunt Xiufang.

"Come in." Aunt Xiufang said coldly.

A man wearing night clothes and covering his whole body tightly came in.He kneeled neatly on the ground and said respectfully: "Miss, those hidden guards who are not unconscious have all been dealt with."

"Yes." Aunt Xiufang, that is, Zhao Qinhan nodded.

He said again: "Do you want to get rid of the maid in the next room?"

"No!" When she met the man's astonished gaze, she realized that she had overreacted a bit, and then slowed down her tone, saying: "She is the princess's personal maid, so take her with you and continue to serve the princess on the road. Wouldn't it be more appropriate?"

Her voice became cold again, "Don't forget, the princess is going to the north to be the mistress of the Xie family. Do you dare to touch her maid?"

The man was sweating profusely on his forehead, lowered his head even lower, and said repeatedly: "I don't dare."

"Okay, don't do unnecessary things, pack up and get ready to leave the city."

"Yes!"

At the gate of the city, the guard was drowsy, when he suddenly saw a group of people approaching, he stood up straight and shouted sharply: "Who is coming? The gate is closed, no one can enter!"

"Keep your dog eyes wide open, the Dingyuan General's Mansion is acting on the emperor's order, and you dare to stop it? Don't you want the head of the Xiangshang?!" The leader took out a token and directly confronted the guards.

The commander of the guard hurriedly stepped forward to take the token and inspected it carefully. Seeing that it was indeed the signboard of General Dingyuan's Mansion, he hurriedly pulled away the guard blocking the way, nodded and bowed his head, and said, "The subordinates are ignorant, and they almost missed my lord's business. Please calm down, my lord, please calm down, my lord."

"What are you doing in a daze, why don't you open the city gate!" He turned his head and shouted angrily.

"Yes!"

"Drive!" A group of people ran out of the city generously.

The guard next to the commander leaned over to the commander and said in a low voice: "Boss, there is still a carriage inside, really don't you want to check?"

"The signboard of the Dingyuan General's Mansion still keeps saying that the emperor is on his body. If you are not afraid of death, you can check it." The commander cursed.

"What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you close the city gate?" Seeing that the troops from the Dingyuan General's Mansion had all left the city, the commander directly vented his anger on the guards with the nodding and bowing just now.

The guards dared not speak out, but lowered their eyebrows and responded in unison: "Yes!"

"You actually let us out of the city without even checking. The token of Dingyuan General's Mansion is different." Mr. Cai said to the man beside him with a smile.

The man next to him was wearing armor, with an ordinary face, but his voice was like jade, "It's easy to use this time."

Mr. Cai stroked his neatly trimmed beard, and said with a smile, "General Dingyuan really gave birth to a good daughter." As soon as this happened, Yan Yujin, that dog thief, would definitely be at odds with General Dingyuan, and even had a crush on Dingyuan. The general's mansion started.At that time, Ms. Ji's persuasion may be the last straw for General Dingyuan to completely fall for Xie's family.

The man next to Mr. Cai is Xie Yuanjiu after his disguise.He heard what Mr. Cai meant, and the smile in his eyes deepened.He didn't expect that the move he made unintentionally at the beginning would have such a big effect.

"Where's the princess?"

"I'm resting in the carriage, and the young lady is accompanying the princess." The head guard stepped forward and replied.

Xie Yuanjiu smiled and nodded.

"Your Majesty, what about His Majesty and the Empress in the capital..." the chief guard said hesitantly.They kidnapped Tao Zhiyun like this, Tao Ang and his wife probably hated Xie's family to death.

"There are no more Her Majesty and Empress in the capital city. Yan Yujin murdered Her Majesty and Empress and set fire to the entire Marquis of Shunchang. The princess was afraid and sought shelter from the Xie family. In order to protect the princess, we left the capital in a hurry." Mr. Cai smiled meaningfully.

Xie Yuanjiu nodded lightly, with a smile on his face.

The head guard turned his head, and sure enough, he saw a little red light in the distance in the darkness.

That is the direction of Shunchang Hou Mansion.
