Chapter 493 Visiting the Flower House
Zhou Jushan looked puzzled: "Does your Majesty have any good ideas?"
Emperor Qingning was excited: "While it is still early, summon the General of the Cavalry to me."
Seeing the cakes brought by Zhou Jushan, Emperor Qingning remembered that it was most reassuring to send the General of the Cavalry! After all, Hou Xiaoxiao was living in the palace now and could serve as a hostage.
Although the General of Cavalry is old, he still has combat experience. What's more, General Bai's eldest son and second son are both military generals. Although they have not had experience in the Northwest Expedition, their strength is there. And with General Bai, who has fought on the battlefield for most of his life, in charge, there should be no problem.
Zhou Jushan's eyebrows moved when he heard this: "Yes! I will do it right away!"
This is a really good choice of candidate, it hits the spot for both parties.

In the afternoon.
Zhaowang Mansion, Songheyuan where Jiang Lili and Xin Che lived.
Jiang Lili sat in front of the dressing table, her chin resting on her hands, her arms lazily resting on the table, allowing her personal maid Lingzhi to do whatever she wanted.
Lingzhi was recruited by Hou Xiaoxiao. She has excellent makeup and styling skills and is multi-talented. Jiang Lili has become much more cheerful and lively after playing with Lingzhi in Prince Zhao's mansion these days.
Lingzhi's fingertips passed through Jiang Lili's black hair: "Princess, your hair is so nice, black and shiny."
Jiang Lili was a little dazed when she heard Lingzhi's praise. As expected, she was in a good mental state after not working, and even her hair quality improved!
She touched her thick black hair. Who would have thought that she was still troubled by hair loss and baldness before she traveled through time?
[Didi Didi——]
On the group chat page in Jiang Lili's mind, Guan Yue's messages popped up one by one.
【@Guan Yue: Li Li, you have to dress up nicely this time and don’t embarrass me! 】
【@江麗麗: Isn't it just to go out for a meal and play mahjong? Is it necessary to dress up so elaborately? I am getting calluses in my ears from your repeated repetition of this. 】
Jiang Lili was originally planning to let her personal maid take care of her casually, just to be able to go out decently, but she couldn't stand Guan Yue's bombardment and changed her mind and said to the maid: "You should help me to be the most..."
【@Guan Yue: It’s different, it’s different. This is Xiao Xiao’s most high-end club. Now she has entered the palace to monitor the dog emperor and the old woman. She asked me to take charge and watch over it. I will definitely keep the place under control.】
【@江麗麗: If you want to calm down the situation, why don't you just bring your group of powerful escorts into the venue? Who in the capital doesn't know the name of your Yuelai Escort Agency? 】
【@关悦: This won’t work. It will make the atmosphere tense and the customer experience worse. Who will come? I promised Xiaoxiao that I can’t let her down. During his absence, Feiyue Tower will do better and better! 】
Jiang Lili's eyebrows jumped when she heard the name Feiyue Tower: [Is this high-end club you are talking about a decent place? I am still wearing a wedding ring on my hand. I am married. Don't make any mistakes for me and let Xin Che misunderstand that I went out to have fun. ]
【@Guan Yue: Of course we are serious! We are law-abiding citizens who traveled from the 21st century! 】
Lingzhi spent half an hour carefully doing Jiang Lili's makeup. After half an hour, she excitedly pulled Jiang Lili around in front of the dressing mirror to admire her masterpiece.
"A beauty should dress up well, so as not to waste her beauty!"
Jiang Lili was wearing a crimson silk cloud skirt with a wide hem. When she turned around, she looked like a hibiscus flower in full bloom. A plum blossom hairpin was inserted in her bun, making her look bright and charming.
Lingzhi stared at Jiang Lili for a long time, still not satisfied, and murmured in praise:
"Princess, if you go out wearing this, you will definitely be the focus of everyone wherever you go."
"You are so skillful!"
Jiang Lili pinched Lingzhi's face.
Lingzhi was dazzled by the shining diamond wedding ring on Jiang Lili's ring finger and couldn't help but sigh: "Princess, the gem on your hand is so beautiful."
"Isn't this a pair with the jeweled ring on the prince's hand?"
Jiang Lili nodded: "Yes, this is called diamond, also called diamond."
Lingzhi couldn't believe her ears when she heard Jiang Lili's words: "Ah, this is a diamond, why is it different from the diamonds I know?"
In ancient China, diamonds were not widely used as ornaments, but because of their hardness, they were used as tools for cutting jade, and were called Kunwu Swords. Craftsmen also used diamonds to repair porcelain. And the diamonds used as tools were generally broken diamonds.
Diamonds are rare in the Dasheng area, difficult to mine, and the quality of the deposits is generally not very high. The people of Dasheng have never seen such exquisite large diamonds.
"This one is much more beautiful and brilliant. It's so big and so shiny. It's completely different from any diamond I know!"
Lingzhi sighed, "I think it's more dazzling and beautiful than the emerald that Princess Jin once auctioned at a sky-high price."
Jiang Lili brushed her wedding ring with her fingers and said softly, "Because it was dug from far away, and it took a long time to select. It is a very thoughtful gift."
As soon as Lingzhi heard it, she knew it was a gift from the prince, and her face looked as if she was touched.
She carefully checked Li Li's clothes again, and then said, "The carriage is ready at the southeast gate. Princess, please go quickly and don't miss the time."
"Okay." Jiang Lili lifted her skirt and prepared to go out. After taking a few steps, she suddenly turned around and asked, "Where is the prince now?"
Jiang Lili Jiang Lili vaguely remembered that the person next to her got up before dawn this morning.
Lingzhi thought for a moment, "This morning when the prince left, he told me that he had to go out of the house to do some business and go to the outskirts of Beijing. He might not come back in the evening. He asked you not to wait for him."
"I see." Jiang Lili thought to himself that it didn't matter if he returned home later today. It had been a long time since he and Guan Yue had a good reunion. "Then I'm leaving!"
Jiang Lili hurried out of the house and got on the carriage prepared by Guan Yue. The carriage took him all the way to Zhuque Street, the most prosperous street in the capital.
The carriage stopped steadily in front of Feiyue Tower.
Feiyue Tower has a total of seven floors, and it stands out like a crane among chickens even on the bustling Suzaku Street.
"Princess, please wait in the car for a moment."
After saying something to Jiang Lili, the coachman jumped off the carriage and walked to a couple in uniform crimson clothes standing at the entrance of Feiyue Tower.
These two people were obviously the "welcomers" of Feiyue Tower. They both wore fox masks on their faces and had dignified postures, looking very mysterious.
The driver said something to the two of them, and the masked woman turned and went into Feiyue Tower. After a while, she came out with a wooden tray in her hand, which was covered with a red cloth.
