Female-male sex: Salted fish forced to rise to prominence

Chapter 220 Drinking Tea

Chen Manli felt suffocated by Qin Yuehua's words. She glanced at her half-sister beside her and complained unhappily: "Hmph! It's all your fault for insisting on dragging me out of the house to choose some crappy gift. You made me suffer like this. It's really unlucky."

Chen Qingqing, the concubine's younger sister, lowered her head slightly and softly advised, "Don't be angry, Third Sister. It's all my fault. Let's go find the gifts quickly so we don't miss anything."

After saying this, he carefully raised his eyes to glance at his elder sister's expression.

Chen Manli snorted lightly, turned around and walked towards an antique shop with a quaint atmosphere, and her maid Bihe followed closely behind her.

The concubine sister Chen Qingqing also hurriedly followed them with her maid.

After entering the store, Chen Qingqing and others were dazzled by the dazzling array of porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, as well as various antiques and treasures. Fortunately, their goal of this trip was very clear - to find an exquisite and gorgeous vase.

After careful selection, the two walked out of the antique shop satisfied.

However, at this moment, another ragged, disheveled little beggar appeared from nowhere, stretched out his hand timidly to ask them for money.

Where did so many little beggars come from? Chen Manli couldn't help but frown.

Seeing this, the maid Bihe was afraid that the young lady would blame her for not being helpful, and she felt very annoyed. She raised her eyebrows and shouted angrily: "Get out! Get out! Don't get in the way here."

The shout was like thunder, frightening the little beggar so much that he trembled all over and stepped back repeatedly, and even fell to the ground accidentally.

But no one expected that Chen Manli, who had been impatient just now, suddenly squatted down, with concern in her eyes, and asked the little beggar softly: "Little brother, are you okay? Are you hurt?" As she spoke, she reached out and gently helped the little beggar up, and carefully checked whether he was injured.

After seeing that the little beggar was not seriously injured, Chen Manli took out a few small coins from her purse and put them into the little beggar's hand.

The little beggar obviously didn't expect to receive such care and charity. He was stunned at first, then a surprised smile broke out on his face. He hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, miss, thank you, miss..." Before he finished speaking, he grabbed a few silver coins and ran away like a frightened little rabbit.

Behind her, her younger sister Chen Qingqing was puzzled by her elder sister's behavior. What had happened to her? Didn't she just dislike these beggars?

But before she could come up with an answer, she saw a handsome young man dismounting from his horse and walking towards her elder sister, leading the horse.

Prince Zhou Yao looked at the woman in front of him and greeted her happily: "Miss Chen, what a coincidence, we meet again."

Chen Manli then slowly stood up and looked up at the man in front of her.

In fact, she had already seen Prince Zhou's horse a long time ago, otherwise she would not have bothered to pay attention to these little beggars.

So Chen Manli also smiled, her big eyes blinking, and she showed an expression of surprise. Looking at the man in front of her, she tilted her head and asked cheerfully with an innocent look: "Prince, why are you here? Are you here to buy something too?"

Prince Zhou Yao looked at the woman in front of him, who was wearing an exquisite pink dress. After just a few days of not seeing her, she seemed to have become more beautiful and lively. The moment he saw her, it seemed as if all the worries in his heart were immediately reduced.

What's more, he had just seen her good deeds from afar. She was so beautiful, and he didn't expect that she had such a kind heart.

Prince Zhou Yao couldn't help but feel even more favorable towards the woman in front of him.

So he replied: "I do want to buy some things, but I don't know where to find them."

Seeing him say this, Chen Manli immediately suggested: "It is normal for the prince to be unfamiliar with various places since he has just arrived in the capital. If the prince does not mind, I can show you the way to whatever you want to buy."

Prince Zhou Yao looked at Chen Manli closely and invited her: "We have been walking around for a long time and I am a little thirsty. Why don't we go to a teahouse for a cup of tea? Miss Chen, would you be so kind as to come?"

Chen Manli was more than happy to do so. This was a rare opportunity for them to get along with each other. She bowed to Prince Zhou and suppressed the excitement in her heart. Then she said, "Thank you very much for your invitation, Prince Zhou." Then she looked up and looked at the man in front of her with her eyes as clear as autumn water.

The atmosphere between the two people looking at each other was as if they couldn't see anyone else.

But the concubine sister Chen Qingqing didn't want to go. No matter whether this person was the prince or anyone else, he was an outsider.

So she had no sense of existence, so she could only lower her head and bow to the prince Zhou Yao, and said: "Greetings, Prince."

Prince Zhou Yao then noticed the woman next to Miss Chen. She seemed younger than Miss Chen and should be Miss Chen's sister, so he said: "No need to be so polite."

Chen Qingqing whispered in Chen Manli's ear: "Sister, I have something else to do, so I'll go back home first."

Chen Manli was really hoping that she would leave as soon as possible, so she waved her hand and said, "Go ahead."

So the fourth lady Chen Qingqing left with her maid Xiaoyun.

After walking for a distance, the maid Xiaoyun said: "Miss, when did the third lady meet Prince Zhou?"

Chen Qingqing was also puzzled, and she said: "I don't know either."

The maid Xiaoyun said enviously, "The Third Miss is really having the best of both worlds. She already has General Bai's admiration, and now she has Prince Zhou as well. And the way Prince Zhou looked at the Third Miss just now was very unusual."

However, Chen Qingqing scolded in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense in the future, be careful of what you say." She also saw it, but did not want to stir up trouble.

The maid Xiaoyun finally fell silent. She hugged the vase tightly in her arms and replied: "Yes, Miss."

Xiaoyun thought, the young lady is always like this, living so carefully and cautiously.

On the other side, Prince Zhou Yao brought Chen Manli to a nearby teahouse, and was then led directly by the waiter into a quiet private room on the second floor.

As soon as the two of them sat down, the waiter asked enthusiastically: "Dear guests, what kind of tea would you like to order?"

Prince Zhou Yao asked: "What do you have here?"

The waiter replied: "There are Longjing before the rain, Biluochun...", and listed a bunch of tea names.

Zhou Yao ordered: "Just serve the best tea from your teahouse, and some of your signature cakes and side dishes."

The waiter said, "Okay, sir," and then went out, closing the door considerately.

Zhou Yao looked at the woman in front of him and asked with concern: "Ms. Chen, is there any other pastry you would like to eat?"

Chen Manli smiled coquettishly and said: "I seldom go out, and I don't know what the pastries outside taste like, so this is good enough."

After hearing this, Prince Zhou Yao admired her even more. He felt that Bi Nu was worthy of being a girl from a wealthy family and she knew the rules.

Tea and pastries were served quickly.

Chen Manli carefully took the teacup and took a sip. She commented: "The tea has a rich aroma, it's good tea."

Prince Zhou Yao also tasted it and said: "It is indeed good."

Zhou Yao brought a plate of beautiful and exquisite pastries closer to Chen Manli. He looked at Chen Manli straight and said, "Miss Chen, try this pastry again."

Jin Chuan, the servant behind him, saw that the young master was so considerate to a woman. Is he really in love with him?

"Thank you, Prince," Chen Manli took a piece of cake shyly, took a bite, then smiled sweetly and said, "It's delicious."

Zhou Yao also smiled and said: "As long as Miss Chen likes it."

Chen Manli was afraid that the atmosphere would become dull, so she tried to find some topics to start a conversation. She opened her eyes wide and asked, "What are you here to buy today, Prince?"

In fact, Zhou Yao took his servant Jin Chuan to the racecourse today to look for the magic medicine, but he returned disappointed with nothing in his hands.

But when facing the woman in front of him, he was more eager to talk. He answered vaguely: "Someone needs something I have, but I accidentally lost it. But I need him to give me this thing. What should I do?"

Chen Manli asked doubtfully: "Can't you find another one like it for him?"

Zhou Yao sighed and said, "There is only one in the world."

Chen Manli thought about it, and then she said: "Since there is only one in the world, and the other party has never seen it, then whatever you give to him, he will think it should be like that, right?"

Prince Zhou Yao felt that what Miss Chen said in front of him made a lot of sense. Even if he gave them another pill, they would not know and would not be able to do anything to him. After all, he could not control who took the medicine and what effect it had.

Zhou Yao felt that this solved a big problem in his mind, so he said happily: "Miss Chen is really my benefactor."

Chen Manli also smiled sweetly and said: "It would be great if I could help the prince."
