Liu Yun suddenly remembered that when he was in Beiyan in the past years, the people sent by the emperor to visit the sixth prince all had a string of hibiscus and nine rings on their bodies.
This nine-ringed knot is very common and does not arouse suspicion. The only difference is that the last knot is not engraved with a hibiscus flower, but a lotus called water hibiscus. The crimson pink color on the lotus petals is neither jade nor jade.
Jue's true color is not dyed with pigment, but filled with pink crystal powder. It is such an ingenious craftsmanship that it is really difficult to detect it unless you are intentional about it.
"Miss, do you want to see him?"
"That's why he came." Ling Zihan took out her handkerchief, wiped the sugar residue on her hands, and threw it to Liu Yun.
Liuyun lowered his head and glanced at the handkerchief. A touch of excitement flashed through his eyes, and it passed by in an instant, but it was not revealed at all on his face. She turned her hand and put the silk into her cuffs, but the corners of her taut mouth quietly turned up in a slight arc.
At this time, a quiet cry suddenly came from the crowd, "Miss, Sister Liuyun, come quickly, this is so difficult!"
With this shout, most of the eyes turned towards Ling Zihan and the others. The market stall that was lively a second ago suddenly became quiet. The people who were still crowded around her hurriedly backed away, muttering something to each other.
.
The small vendor standing in front of Jinghao was relatively bold. He looked at Ling Zihan secretly, and without saying a word, he respectfully handed all the bamboo rings in his hand to Jinghao, bowed and said tremblingly:
"These...these belong to girls, girls, look at them!"
"so much?"
"Yes, it's to honor the demon...the third lady!"
Jinghao heard the word "demon" clearly, but she didn't point it out. She turned around with a smile and looked at Ling Zihan who was walking towards her, handed her the bamboo ring in her hand, pointed at the small vendor and said: "Miss
, I just threw more than fifty bamboo rings with those children, and none of them hit."
Ling Zihan glanced at the gadgets on the ground. It turned out to be a stall for making rings. She turned her eyes and glanced at the child who was watching her from a distance and dared not approach her. She shook the bamboo ring and said lightly: "This bamboo ring
The rings have been tampered with, and even if you throw a thousand of them, none of them will hit."
"Oh, it turns out it's you who caused the trouble!" Jinghao pointed at the vendor and glared at him. "Do you have any conscience? You actually used such despicable means to defraud the children of their money!" As she said,
I glanced at the group of children who had been defrauded of their pocket money. The innocent children didn't have as complex ideas as adults. They all agreed with Jinghao and pointed at the vendors and scolded them.
The vendor hurriedly cried out that he was wronged, but with a guilty conscience handed over the colorful tassel that Jinghao had always wanted to wear.
"Wait a minute, since you didn't say anything about manipulation, how can my girl want your things?" As soon as Ling Zihan spoke, the vendor was stunned. He raised his head and glanced at her, then lowered his head tremblingly.
I bowed down respectfully, but I was cursing in my heart, "witch, you are ruining my business!"
Ling Zihan paced in front of the stall, looked around at the things on the ground, tightened her hand holding the bamboo ring slightly, and continued: "Then use the fairest method, you can give me as many of these things as you can get."
How much. How!”
After hearing this, the vendor, who was a little weak-limbed, thought about it and asked her to vote. Even if all the bamboo rings in her hand were thrown, she would not win. When the time comes, let's see how this witch comes to Taiwan!
He stepped aside and made a looking gesture towards Ling Zihan. Seeing that she threw the first bamboo ring and missed, he snickered unconsciously, but his eyes quietly turned to Ling Zihan's face. He looked around her.
The two maids were both as beautiful as flowers, each with their own merits. He couldn't help but feel itchy in his heart, wondering how he could take off the veil of this enchantress and see her beauty. He heard from his little cousin who worked in the outer courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion that this
The enchantress is of heavenly beauty, even more beautiful than the courtesan of the Cuihong Mansion...
"Ah! Big sister is so awesome, big sister is so awesome..." A burst of children's cheers passed through his ears, and the vendor was so shocked that he came back to his senses. When he looked down, his mouth suddenly opened and his chin almost dropped to the ground.
Except for a few bamboo rings scattered in front of her eyes, the others were all on various trinkets, each with a few on them. Looking at Ling Zihan again, the bamboo rings on her hand were gone. Could it be that
Everything on this ground is her...
"Jinghao, take what you like and give the rest to these children! It's getting late, it's time for us to go to incense." Turning around, Ling Zihan walked through the crowds on both sides indifferently without stopping at all.
She stepped out of the way and slowly climbed up the stairs.
Jinghao, who was lagging behind, glared at the vendor proudly, picked up the colorful necklace on the ground, whispered a few words to the group of children, then picked up the large and small bags in his hands and chased after Ling Zihan.
Behind him, among the group of children robbing the vendors, there was only a thin boy of 12 or 13 years old, standing in the crowd with his hands behind his back. He looked at the fiery figure walking up the stairs, raised the corners of his mouth, and his eyes were firm and eager.

The staircase in front of the main hall of Xihua Temple has nine hundred and ninety-nine levels, also known as the Heavenly Stairs.
Ling Zihan walked halfway when she suddenly stopped and glanced at the dense and green cypress trees on the left and right. Jing Hao, who was panting, thought she was tired and quickly asked, "Miss, do you want to hire a sedan?"
Although the stairs to heaven are very long, most people who come to offer incense, no matter how rich or noble they are, will walk up to show their sincerity. Occasionally, some people will fall down due to exhaustion, so it is easiest to worry about the sedan chair halfway.
"Miss, what's wrong?" Liu Yun looked around vigilantly and put his hands gently on her waist. She was a martial arts practitioner, and she knew from Ling Zihan's peaceful aura that she was not tired.
Ling Zihan patted her hand gently, looked up, and whispered: "Come out!"
"Haha, the Prime Minister's daughter is indeed extraordinary." A figure floated over and landed in front of Ling Zihan. She was dressed in green and had a jade crown, and her scattered black hair was in sharp contrast to her green mandarin. Under her mandarin, there was a piece of clothing.
The green straight train is embroidered with asparagus bamboo, and a nine-ring hibiscus knot is tied around the waist.
"It's you again! You..." Jinghao pointed at the man with an unhappy look in her eyes. She recognized that this man was the one who flirted with Ling Xiu.
"Don't worry, girl. I'm not a bad person. I'm just entrusted by someone to take your young lady to meet someone." After saying that, he turned to Ling Zihan and gestured to the side, "Miss, look, the sedan has been prepared.
Got off."
"Do you think I will go? Su Jiajun, the person you entrusted me with didn't tell you. If I don't go, just knock me unconscious and drag me away! If not, go back and tell your master that I am just a little girl and don't understand anything."
"As she said that, her hand was already pressing on the jade flute suggestively.
Don’t understand? I’m afraid you understand best!
Su Jiajun smiled meaningfully. It was not surprising that she knew her name and who the person she was entrusting was. She casually handed over her hand: "I understand how different the third lady is. But my master also guessed that
The lady looks ugly, so I specially asked me to give this to the lady."
He took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Ling Zihan, "The Lord said that Miss can read it slowly. He is not in a hurry to get the answer."
As soon as he finished speaking, the green figure flashed and disappeared before his eyes, hiding in the green trees and leaving.
