Ji Ling Xue and Mo Xiang followed the hand in the bag to its owner, Ru Ge who had appeared from nowhere grabbed a handful of puffed rice in his mouth, very seriously tasting it: "It really is fragrant, I've seen such things before, I didn't expect it to taste so good."

 

Mo Xiang remained silent over Ru Ge's food critic, when there was something tasty he would appear, was this person a dog? What's more, that was something his master had brought, he as a subordinate, had the cheek to  eat with her mistress? He didn't know any respect at all.

 

Just as Mo Xiang very much wanted to spurn Ru Ge's rudeness, Ji Ling Xue opened her mouth: "Since you like it, I'll give this bag to you, boss another kilo."

 

The old man rarely met such a straightforward customer, he immediately scooped and weighed a kilo passing it to Mo Xiang, Mo Xiang paid the silvers carrying the large bag of puffed rice she followed behind Ji Ling Xue, Ru Ge walked to the left of Ji Ling Xue encouraging her to buy things.

 

Mo Xiang stared at Ru Ge's back curling her lips: "Ru Ge, if you want to buy something just buy it yourself, why are you dragging mistress along with you."

 

Ru Ge turned his head to stick his tongue out at Mo Xiang: "Because I didn't bring any money."

 

Mo Xiang rolled her eyes to the sky, feeling the urge to cough up blood.

 

Ji Ling Xue said: "Mo Xiang, do you have something you want to buy, today this older sister will pay."

 

Two red clouds appeared on Mo Xiang's cheeks, she was no longer jealous of Ru Ge, "How is that proper..."

 

Ji Ling Xue looked Mo Xiang up and down, "I'll buy you some rouge and powder, a young lady should dress up properly, you can't waste your youth..." Then I'll find you a good family to marry into.

 

Seeing Mo Xiang look shyly, Ji Ling Xue plainly didn't say the rest, seeing there was a woman's shop nearby, she pulled Mo Xiang inside.

 

On the other side, Xiao Yi Chen saw they had reached the west city gate, he got the driver to stop, having alighted from the carriage he stood in front of the carriage behind, "Xue Er, we've arrived at the west city gate, where is the restaurant you spoke of?"

 

It was quiet inside the carriage, a moment later Ji Yu Qing raised the curtain giving Xiao Yi Chen an apologetic smile, "Prince, older sister isn't in the carriage, not long after we had left, older sister said her stomach hurt, she left the carriage with Mo Xiang, she ought to be back at the residence by now."

 

Ji Yu Qing was afraid Xiao Yi Chen wouldn't believe her, and made the driver and Zi Ye testify.

 

Ji Ling Xue really said she had a stomach ache, and had gotten off the carriage, as for whether she had returned to the residence they didn't know.

 

Xiao Yi Chen's complexion turned cold having heard what was said, Ji Yu Qing tugged on Xiao Yi Chen's arm saying: "This concubine has also been to the restaurant prince speaks off, this concubine will take prince there, the location of that restaurant is a little remote, but the food they make is really delicious."

 

Xiao Yi Chen nodded, a little angry, he had been abandoned by Ji Ling Xue again, last time he had accompanied Ji Ling Xue for a walk, that woman had thrown up over his clothes then disappeared after leaving him in the clothes store.

 

This time she had intentionally done the same again, what was she doing now?

 

This time Xiao Yi Chen really misunderstood Ji Ling Xue, Ji Ling Xue had only wanted to get off the carriage to buy some puffed rice then continue on her way, unfortunately Ji Yu Qing immediately left her behind, she only had two legs she couldn't catch up to the speed of a four legged horse.

 

Xiao Yi Chen stood at the front of Qingfengyashe looking at the bold cursive calligraphy sign frowning, "Qingfengyashe" seemed very familiar, he seemed to have seen it somewhere...

 

Bai Mo said: "This restaurant truly opened in a remote location, the name is actually very elegant, I wonder if the food is as good as you said, I will have a great meal today."

 

Ji Yu Qing hurriedly interrupt: "Certainly, older sister and I came across here on our way to the marriage temple, that day the restaurant had just opened, the waiter said if we could write a poem, there would be a twenty percent discount."

 

Without Ji Ling Xue stealing her limelight, Ji Yu Qing felt very free, she hooked onto Xiao Yi Chen's arm, leaning her head against his shoulder, looking cute and helpless.

 

Hearing movement outside, Xiao Si and the others came out in greeting, enthusiastically welcoming them into the best private room, handing over a complete menu with pictures.

 

Appreciating the surroundings, looking at the signature dishes on the menu, Bai Mo said: "Give us each signature dish."

 

Xiao Si nodded, taking the menu he was about to leave, Xiao Yi Chen suddenly called after him: "Waiter, who is your boss, can they give recommendation perhaps?"

 

Xiao Si awkwardly scratched his head, Ji Ling Xue said, they couldn't tell anyone she was the boss behind the scenes, thus he said: "I'm sorry, this servant is only a worker, I have not seen our boss."

 

Bai Mo raised his eyebrow suddenly finding it interesting, "Oh, this boss is very mysterious, your restaurant is doing so well, yet the boss won't show their face."

 

No matter how Bai Mo and Xiao Yi Chen made inquiries, Xiao Si continuously pretended to be stupid.

 

Seeing that nothing could be gained, Xiao Yi Chen could only drop the subject.

 

Bai Mo said: "Yi Chen, why are you suddenly so interested in this restaurant's owner?"

 

Xiao Yi Chen smiled but said nothing. When was he interested in this restaurant's owner, he was only interested in the large gold lettered sign outside, that was an imperial calligraphy, maybe he knew the owner of this restaurant.

 

The food arrived very quickly, eating the familiar dishes, Xiao Yi Chen's train of thought was a little derailed. He remembered as a child, Ji Ling Xue always presented delicacies in front of him: "Yi Chen gege, I made these cakes myself, have a taste, how does it taste like?"

 

Bai Mo praised endlessly: "This restaurant's food is really good, Yi Chen what do you think?"

 

Xiao Yi Chen gave a grunt, this tasted the same as what he had in the palace, could it be that retired chef opened this place? 

 

Suddenly, Ji Yu Qing screeched, "Ya, a hair."

 

Xiao Yi Chen returned to his senses, he saw Ji Yu Qing take out a strand of hair from the plate of food in front of her, like she was looking at a flower.

 

Ji Yu Qing said: "Prince take a look, there's a hair in the food, it's so dirty." 

 

Xiao Yi Chen frowned, calling for Xiao Si, Xiao Si innocently said: "Two gentlemen, in order to make sure the food is hygienic, our chef has to wear a hat and mask, there's no way for hair to fall into the dishes, maybe there's a misunderstanding somewhere."

 

Ji Yu Qing was anxious, those words meant she had deliberately put the hair in the dish to frame them?

 

"Imperial concubine." Zi Ye uttered, pointing at Ji Yu Qing's head, "Your hair..."

Ji Yu Qing raised her hand to her head in confusion, she shrieked the next moment, there were four or five strands in her hand.

 

Ji Yu Qing stared at the hairs in her hand wide eyed, not daring to believe it, she...how could she be losing hair?

 

The entire incident made Xiao Yi Chen lose his appetite, on top of that Ji Ling Xue had left without saying goodbye, Xiao Yi Chen held back anger, after paying the bill, he hopped onto a horse leaving first, leaving Ji Yu Qing and Mo Bai to look at each other in dismay outside the restaurant.

 

On the other side, Ji Ling Xue, Ru Ge and Mo Xiang walked from the start of the street to the end, each of them holding large and small bundles.

 

Ru Ge held the snacks that he liked the most, and there was a new sword, Mo Xiang held a pair of exquisite embroidered shoes and several bolts of new fabrics in her arms.

 

Ji Ling Xue was empty handed, there wasn't anything she wanted.

 

Mo Xiang was weak at the knees from the walking, struggling to follow after Ji Ling Xue, "Mistress, how are we going to go back with so much stuff?" If they were to walk to the residence, her pair of legs would be maimed.

 

At this moment she admired Ji Ling Xue's energy, Ru Ge was a martial artist, this was nothing to him.

 

Ji Ling Xue rubbed her stomach saying: "I'm a little hungry, let's eat then return to the prince's residence."

 

When Ji Ling Xue and Mo Xiang returned to the residence in a hired carriage, they came across an angry Xiao Yi Chen sitting in the living room waiting for her.

 

After Ji Ling Xue ordered Mo Xiang to put the things into the room, she sat on the chair opposite Xiao Yi Chen, raising a cup of tea to her lips, "Was prince happy to go sightseeing with younger sister today?"

 

A hot anger raged in Xiao Yi Chen's eyes, "This prince isn't the same as you, shopping so happily."

 

He knew Ji Ling Xue had not been shopping by herself, there was a mysterious expert, he had investigated that person's background, but was unable to find anything.

 

Ji Ling Xue innocently shrugged her shoulders, "Prince you're wrongly accusing me, I could only go shopping because of that younger sister of mine."

 

If Jing Yu Qing had not ordered the driver to leave, why would she have gone shopping, she had thought Xiao Yi Chen would have discovered her disappearance along the way, in the end she had overestimated him.

 

Xiao Yi Chen stood up walking to Ji Ling Xue's side, suddenly pulling her up, staring into her eyes: "Ji Ling Xue..." He treated her well over and over, why was this woman always avoiding him.

 

Ji Ling Xue couldn't understand the gloominess in the other person's eyes.

 

Xiao Yi Chen lowered his head, his nose was about to touch Ji Ling Xue's nose, after a while he said: "Ji Ling Xue, you hate this prince so much?"

 

"Ah?" Ji Ling Xue was dazed.

 

It was at that moment, a person hurried in through the door, loudly saying: "Prince not good!"

 

Ji Ling Xue and Xiao Yi Chen both turned to look at the same time, Zi Ye knelt on the floor panting, looking pale, it seemed something serious had happened.

 

Xiao Yi Chen said: "What?"

 

Zi Ye raised her head to look at Xiao Yi Chen's expression, quickly saying: "It's imperial concubine..." She was a little hesitant, not sure how to say it in such a situation. 

 

A glimmer flashed through Ji Ling Xue's eyes, saying to Xiao Yi Chen: "Prince, something seemed to have happened to younger sister, go take a look." Maybe she needs you to comfort her.

 

Xiao Yi Chen grabbed hold of Ji Ling Xue's hand, preventing her from slipping away, "Let's go take a look together."

 

Ji Ling Xue rolled her eyes, she didn't want to see Ji Yu Qing at all.

 

Zi Ye watched Xiao Yi Chen and Ji Ling Xue leave first, then did she get up and follow.

 

A heart wrenching cry came from Ji Yu Qing's room: "How can this be...how can this be...how can I become so unsightly..."

 

While Xiao Yi Chen pulled Ji Ling Xue along, Ji Yu Qing was holding her face in suffering, her long hair draping over her shoulders, the pearl hairpins shattered on the floor.

 

Ji Yu Qing had just thrown the copper mirror onto the floor, hearing footsteps she raised her head, on seeing Xiao Yi Chen she was elated then flustered, reaching around she looked for something: "Prince...don't come over...you can't see me like this..."

 

That's when Xiao Yi Chen saw the bald patch on Ji Yu Qing's head, it looked very ugly, very comical.
