Chapter 16 The slave family thanks the prince for the reward.

After Lu Chen left the main courtyard, he was about to go to the courtyard of the two sisters of the Zhou family. At this time, he saw Mu Zixuan taking Wang Qingci to the backyard of the palace.

Lu Chen was a little curious, why did Mu Zixuan bring this woman here?

He frowned, maybe Wang Qingci wanted to get close to him, so he found some excuse to deceive Mu Zixuan.

This is not okay!

If this woman is here for him, there will be no problem at all.

But if Wang Qingci hurt Mu Zixuan in the process, it would be troublesome. Now Mu Zixuan is pregnant again.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen quickly followed.

When Lu Chen entered the backyard, the maid Xiaorou was about to make tea. Lu Chen immediately stopped her and said, "Xiaorou, use this leaf to make tea later."

Having said this, Lu Chen handed the leaf in his hand to Xiaorou.

Xiaorou didn't think much about it, after all, she was just a maid.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After handing the dragon and phoenix tree leaves to Xiaorou, Lu Chen immediately entered the backyard.

After seeing Lu Chen, Wang Qingci felt very happy and finally found a chance to get close to King Bei.

Of course, she had no intention of attacking Bei Wang now.

The main reason why she approached Bei Wang this time was to show off her face in front of Bei Wang, so that he could remember her and deepen his impression of her.

She was not sure if the rumored grandmaster had left Bei Wang. If he took action at this time, it was very likely that she would not be able to leave Bei Wang's Mansion.

At this time, Wang Qingci immediately stood up from the stone bench, saluted and said, "The daughter of the people comes to see the prince!"

Mu Zixuan saw Lu Chen running here and asked curiously: "My lord, why didn't you go to your sister's place?"

Although Lu Chen had already eaten up Xiaoxiao and Youyou, today was the wedding banquet day after all, and he still had to go through the process, but Lu Chen came here.

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, we'll talk about it later in the evening."

Having said this, Lu Chen looked at Wang Qingci in front of him. Wang Qingci's whole body exuded a charming fragrance. He was really a foxy girl.

Lu Chen then asked: "Who are you?"

Wang Qingci immediately introduced himself: "Back to your lord, I am the oiran of Baihua House."

Mu Zixuan added at this time: "Your Majesty, after seeing the effect of soap, Miss Wang plans to order a batch of soap from us."

Lu Chen said: "Oh, so that's it."

"Then you can continue talking and don't worry about me."

Having said this, Lu Chen walked to the edge of the pavilion and sat down.

At this time, Xiaorou entered the courtyard carrying the brewed dragon and phoenix tea.

Xiaorou poured each of them a cup of dragon and phoenix tea.

At this time, Wang Qingci continued to say to Mu Zixuan: "Princess, our Baihualou has ordered a large quantity of soap. I wonder how long it will take for the palace to make it?"

Wang Qingci's attention was not on Mu Zixuan at all, but she didn't dare to go too far at this time, so she had to pretend to talk. (っ◔◡◔)っ

Mu Zixuan asked: "How many do you need?"

Wang Qingci replied: "One thousand yuan."

Mu Zixuan was a little surprised. This was the first time the palace had received such a large order.

"so much?"

Wang Qingci smiled and then explained: "Our girls in Baihualou have a lot of clothes, and they need to be washed every day. In order to clean these clothes, Baihualou needs to go outside the city to buy a lot of bath beans every day."

Mu Zixuan thought about it and felt that it made sense.

After all, this is a land of fireworks, and the clothes worn by those prostitutes must be clean, so it is normal to consume soap.

So, can Baihualou become a big customer of Wangfu in the future?

Just when Mu Zixuan was happy about the first big order from the palace, she noticed that Lu Chen's eyes were scanning Wang Qingci's body not far from the pavilion.

Mu Zixuan instantly understood why Lu Chen appeared here. It turned out that he was here for Wang Qingci.

However, Mu Zixuan didn't think anything of it. It was well known that Lu Chen liked beauty.

Wang Qingci is the oiran of Baihua House. He looks so enchanting, so it's normal for Lu Chen to be tempted.

At this time, Wang Qingci picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea.

After drinking this, Wang Qingci suddenly felt a refreshing feeling rush into his heart, and Wang Qingci was stunned for a moment.

Then he asked: "Princess, where does the tea in your palace come from?"

Mu Zixuan was a little confused when she heard this sudden question. She never expected that Wang Qingci would suddenly change the topic to tea.

Then Mu Zixuan curiously picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip. Mu Zixuan immediately understood why Wang Qingci suddenly asked about tea.

Mu Zixuan turned to look at the maid aside, "Xiaorou, what kind of tea are you making? Why have I never drank this kind of tea?"

Before Xiaorou could answer, Lu Chen, who was not far away, took the initiative and said, "My dear concubine, do you still remember the tree planted in my main courtyard?"

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Mu Zixuan instantly thought of the tree that Lu Chen had carefully taken care of recently.

She had always been curious about why Lu Chen was so interested in that tree. It turned out that it was a special tea tree.

Mu Zixuan asked at this time: "Your Majesty, is the tea in this teapot made from leaves picked from that tree?"

Lu Chen nodded and said, "Yes."

Having said this, Lu Chen's eyes fell in front of Wang Qingci and asked with a smile: "Miss Wang, how do you like this tea?"

Wang Qingci replied: "It is fragrant, sweet and refreshing. My family has never drunk such magical tea."

Lu Chen said: "Since Miss Wang likes it, I will ask my servants to pick some fresh tea leaves and bring them back to you."

Wang Qingci thought to herself that it seemed that King Bei planned to use this tea to please her. According to this process, it would not be long before King Bei became her guest, and her mission was almost completed.

Thinking of this, Wang Qingci showed a charming smile and said, "I would like to thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

Lu Chen said to Xiaorou at this time: "Xiaorou, go to the tree that I water often and pick two taels of fresh tea leaves for Miss Wang to take back."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Then Xiaorou left the backyard and went to the main courtyard to pick tea leaves.

Afterwards, Wang Qingci and Mu Zixuan continued to discuss soap matters.

After confirming the delivery date, Wang Qingci left the palace with the leaves of the dragon and phoenix tree that Xiaorou had just picked.

Mu Zixuan saw Lu Chen's eyes staring at Wang Qingci's back, so she walked to sit next to Lu Chen and said, "My lord, if you like Miss Wang, I can have someone go to Baihua House to buy her." Come down and let her serve the prince, Miss Wang should still be innocent."

Mu Zixuan is relatively open-minded when it comes to women, and she has no intention of being jealous.

Hearing this, Lu Chen came back to his senses. He put his big hands around Mu Zixuan's waist, then picked her up with force and let her sit on his lap.

Then Lu Chen whispered in Mu Zixuan's ear: "My dear concubine, do you really think she is just an ordinary oiran?"

Lu Chen planned to tell her Wang Qingci's true identity directly. After all, Wang Qingci, a woman, had ulterior motives for him.

If she was allowed to have excessive contact with Mu Zixuan, it might be detrimental to Mu Zixuan. It would be better to tell Mu Zixuan her true identity and let Mu Zixuan guard against her.
