Quick Wear: The paranoid beauty grabs the waist and spoils her

Chapter 377 How to Compete with His Peerless Charm 22

Xiao Mingyu had just met Ji Qingchen, and after the homework assessment was over, he was anxious to find Nan Xiang.

Unexpectedly, this time, I came up empty-handed.

At this time, Nan Xiang left the palace as soon as dawn broke.

Thanks to the token that Ji Qingchen gave her a few days ago, she had been trapped in the palace all these years and had never stepped out of the palace. Full of curiosity, she left the palace with the token under the pretext of shopping.

The five-year-old boy was very depressed because he didn't see the person he wanted to see.

Since Nan Xiang was transferred to Fengyi Palace, Xiao Mingyu had only met her once. Afterwards, she was sent to the Imperial College by Ji Qingchen to study, and he had been busy for many days.

As soon as he had some free time, he prepared some small toys and wanted to play with Nan Xiang, and at the same time praise his uncle to her.

In the eyes of outsiders, the Fourth Prince is young and dignified, but in front of Nan Xiang, he is much more lively and cheerful.

Not finding Nanxiang, Xiao Mingyu was listless and called Xiao Anzi to ask:

"How has Xiaonan been doing in Fengyi Palace these days?"

Xiao Anzi answered respectfully: "Xiao Nanzi is conscientious and careful in his work, smart and down-to-earth, and has a good personality. Everyone likes him. Even the Queen Mother treats him with special favor, giving him books and testing his homework yesterday..."

Hearing this, Xiao Mingyu couldn't help but wonder, when did his beautiful sister and uncle become so close?

Thinking of this, the young boy's originally cold lips slightly raised, and he signaled his personal attendant to reward Xiao Anzi some silver, and then returned to the main hall of Fengyi Palace to find Ji Qingchen.

Arriving at the main hall, Xiao Mingyu saw Liu Han standing at the door and asked, "Aunt Liu Han, is the Queen Mother here?"

Liu Han smiled and shook her head: "Sorry, Your Highness, the Queen has left the palace."

Xiao Mingyu was slightly stunned. He had just finished testing his homework, and he was leaving the palace so soon?

He also wanted to ask his uncle about things related to Xiao Nan... The young boy was full of distress.

Seeing this, Liu Han hurriedly comforted him, "Your Highness, the Queen is out on business and will be back soon."

Xiao Mingyu responded: "Oh."

Suddenly, an idea came to him. Xiao Nanzi left the palace early in the morning, and his uncle also went out.

So, it is very likely that they will meet each other, right? Could it be that my uncle is interested in my beautiful sister?

Xiao Mingyu returned to the main hall of Fengyi Palace again and asked many eunuchs for information, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

He is busy with his studies on weekdays, so it is difficult for him to find a suitable person for his uncle. Alas, it is really too difficult.

Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better after I met a beautiful sister.

Liu Han looked at her own prince, who was sometimes happy and sometimes sad, and sighed helplessly:

"If you are tired, please rest early."

Xiao Mingyu finally came back to his senses, responded, found an excuse and hurried away, even his earlobes slightly red.

Liu Han saw it all but did not expose it. She just guarded the main hall diligently.

On the other side, Nan Xiang had already arrived at the bustling streets of the imperial capital.

Since she fled to the capital five years ago and entered the palace by chance, she has never left the palace since then. This is the first time in five years.

Everything outside the palace was indescribably new and strange.

On the busy streets, the crowds are bustling, shops are lined up, stalls and vendors can be seen everywhere, and all kinds of hawking sounds are heard one after another.

"Hot steamed buns, thin skin and big fillings, two for one copper coin!"

The uncle selling buns was shouting at the top of his voice, the steamer in his hand was steaming, the aroma went straight into Nan Xiang's nose.

She couldn't help swallowing, remembering the taste she had eaten in her hometown, so she bought two buns.

Going further ahead, there is a small stall selling jewelry.

The stall owner was a kind-looking lady holding a jade hairpin, smiling and soliciting the girls passing by:

"Girls, look at this hairpin, it's so shiny, it will definitely make you look prettier when you wear it!"

There was a dazzling array of jewellery on the stall, made of gold, silver and jade, sparkling in the sunlight, attracting Nan Xiang to stop and watch for a long time.

Nan Xiang walked and stopped along the way, eating as she walked, and had long forgotten about shopping.

She came out with several elderly maids. Those maids knew the reason why she left the palace, so they did not let her get involved in the shopping. They only asked her to meet them one hundred steps to the left of the palace gate at the beginning of the evening hour.

Nan Xiang agreed readily. Once she left the palace, she felt much more relaxed. She strolled around and bought things she liked. The money in her purse was enough for her to spend.

Originally, she was planning to use her own small treasury, but Sun Fuyu found an excuse to reward her with a bag of silver, saying it was a reward for passing the assessment, which was reasonable.

Soon it was noon and the sun was a little hot. Nan Xiang avoided crowded places and followed her memory to a wonton stall.

The stall owner was a skilled lady. When she saw her coming, she smiled and said, "Little girl, would you like a bowl of wontons?"

The sister-in-law did not recognize that the young man in front of her was the child she had treated to a bowl of wontons for when she first came to the capital five years ago. But Nan Xiang had always kept the memory in her heart.

She nodded hurriedly, and soon, a bowl of steaming wontons was brought to her.

The soup was delicious, the wontons had thin skin and tender fillings, Nan Xiang ate heartily, the familiar taste made her feel even better. After eating, she put a tael of silver on the table as a way to repay the kindness of the past.

When the eldest sister-in-law was packing up, she saw the silver and thought she had given too much, a hundred times the price. But she couldn't find the person, so she had to keep the matter in mind.

After filling his stomach, Nan Xiang came to the beggars’ gathering place in the capital according to the information he had heard before.

There was a mixed crowd here, with ragged beggars lying or sitting in all directions, occupying every corner of the street.

Nan Xiang took a deep breath, mustered up the courage to walk towards an old beggar who looked relatively kind, squatted down, and asked softly:

"Old man, I want to ask you something. How much do you know about the Duke of Wei's Mansion?"

The old beggar raised his cloudy eyes and looked at her, with a look of caution, and spoke hesitantly:

"What are you doing asking about the Duke of Wei's Mansion, little kid?"

Nan Xiang's heart tightened, and she quickly took out a few copper coins and handed them over: "Old man, please be kind, I have something important to tell you."

The old beggar didn't take it, so Nan Xiang put another ounce of silver in it. The old beggar hurriedly took it, weighed it for a few times, and then slowly spoke:

"You are such a sensible kid. You finally found the right person to ask an old beggar about the Duke of Wei's Mansion. Back then, the niece of my friend's uncle's neighbor worked for the Duke of Wei's wife..."

Nan Xiang pricked up her ears and paid full attention, not missing a single word he said.
