Tonight, I forgot to put on makeup

The Hualingyuan General Manager will give twenty taels of silver to the masters of each pavilion every month. In fact, it means that most people in Hualingyuan rely on the wealth sent by their own country to make a living.

Murong Qiqi has no backing in Nanmu Kingdom. Every time the property sent by Nanmu Kingdom is kept by Murong Susu, and she will distribute it.

It is conceivable that in this case, how much money can be paid to her Wuchen Pavilion?

Murong Susu was afraid that she would starve to death in Wuchen Pavilion.

"Don't there be twenty-two months of money this month? Why is it used so quickly?" She blinked and looked at Cui'er with anticipation.

Cui'er pursed her lips and said helplessly: "Although Cui'er's family is poor, she will not cheat the princess' money."

The main reason is that the Seventh Princess is too poor, and even if she cheats, she doesn't even have a few cents. She doesn't even see this amount of money.

"Princess, you spent more than a dozen silvers on the street this month, and all of them were contributed to rouge and water powder." She would never forget this kind of thing.

Murong Qiqi didn't say anything, but in fact he had already remembered it. Murong Qiqi was indeed too ignorant in the past. Apart from rouge and water powder, he didn't even care about what he had eaten or drunk.

After a moment of silence, she said, "It means, we can't even afford to eat?"

"That's not that there is rice and grain in the rice jar. In order to make it easier, the princess doesn't eat much, so the rice and grain distributed this month is still stored." But it's only limited to rice and grain. She said: "As long as we only eat vegetarian food for every meal in the future, and wait until the manager sends meat to the next level before cooking meat, we can barely get through this month."

"Eat vegetarian food!" No, no, this is definitely not a life that people live. If you don't eat meat, you will not be able to bear it even if you only have one meal.

"Princess……"

"Are there a few hills behind this palace?" Qiqi suddenly asked.

"There are a few hills, but..." Cui'er looked at her and said in surprise: "What does the princess want to do?"

"I don't do anything, but suddenly I remember that there might be some wild vegetables there." She stood up and walked towards the closet, "You go back to your room first, I'm going to rest."

"What wild vegetables? That's a royal place, and most people are not allowed to go around." In particular, there is an amazing person living there. The Seventh Princess wanted to go there to pick wild vegetables. Is her head broken or she heard it wrong?

Cui'er rubbed her eyebrows and said calmly: "If the princess is still sleepy, then take a break early. I will take some jewelry to pawn tomorrow and buy some meat for the princess."

She could see that the Seventh Princess is now a vegetarian who doesn't want to eat vegetarian food.

"Okay." Qiqi replied casually. When Cui'er left the room, she took out the oldest set of clothes from the closet, walked to the door and locked the door, picked up scissors, cut off the excess decorations of the clothes, and let the whole clothes return to the simplest form.

After changing into a light dress, she felt that even she was too quick to move. She walked to the table, gently blew out the candlelight, and then came to the window and carefully turned out.

She is an action-oriented person. She will act immediately when she decides what she wants to do. Even Cui'er is afraid that she will not expect that the truth is that she said she wants to pick wild vegetables.

But one thing is fake. What she is looking for is not wild vegetables, and she is not interested in vegetarian food. There must be many rare herbs in several mountains in the back mountain. As long as you get some and sell them to the drugstore on the street, you can always get some money back.

Eating vegetarian food every day is even more terrible than killing her life. She has made every effort to eat meat.

I walked so fast that I forgot the most important thing. Tonight, she didn't put on makeup...

The guards in Hualingyuan were very relaxed, with only one or two guards patrolling, and the back door was the place where heavy troops were guarding, so she naturally did not dare to touch them. As for the two guards in the front door, they took a nap all day long to let the water go, which was useless.

However, Qiqi did not walk through the back door tonight or go out through the front door. Instead, he took the lead by the high wall and quickly slipped out by the trunk of the big tree beside him.

The palace is very big, really big, and I dare not pass through the palace, so I can only escape the palace walls and rush to the back mountain.

After leaving for at least an hour, when Qiqi arrived at the foot of the first mountain in the back mountain, the night was already dark.

After rubbing her slightly sore legs, she took a deep breath, avoided the guards guarding the foot of the mountain, slipped in through the path beside her, and in a blink of an eye, she opened a long distance from the guards below.

This is not a palace, and the guards are not strict. Except for a little guard at the foot of the mountain, there will be no guards on the mountain.

But I once heard that Prince Nan likes to live in the mountains and often doesn't want to go back to the palace and spends his days in the mountains all day. Qiqi knew that a certain mountain here must be particularly tightly guarded. As long as he avoids the mountain range, no one will stop him from going anywhere.

Although she saw a lot of herbs on the road along the way, she did not rush to pick the herbs off at the beginning with the purpose of exploring the way, but she was so full of strength that she walked around the forest.

As expected, from the west of the palace, a solemn atmosphere was obviously lingering on the hillside of the second mountain, which should be where Prince Nan lived.

According to legend, Prince Nan has been sick since he was a child, so recuperating in such deep mountains is indeed a good thing, but it is a bit sad that a king lived here for a long time.

I think this prince knew that his destiny would not last long, so he would waste his time on cultivating his mind and cultivating his nature.

Go away from the mountain range, Qiqi rushed in the opposite direction, and soon reached the top of another mountain.

I saw a lot of herbs along the way, but not many of them are of high value, so I am afraid they all grow on cliffs.

She took a deep breath and rushed to the edge of the cliff. With the faint moonlight, she really saw a few ambergris growing on the cliff.

Ambergris, also known as ambergris ginseng, is used for liver and kidney deficiency, restlessness, insomnia and dreams. It is a good thing to calm the mind and condense qi. Qiqi doesn’t know what it is worth on the market, but he knows that as long as you pull a few plants back, it will be no difficulty to support yourself.

She tied the bag tightly around her waist, tore the skirts and tied them to her legs, feeling more relaxed, so she climbed up the steep stone wall and carefully slid downwards.

After finally removing two ambergris plants, she looked at the third and last plant growing on the steeper cliff. She hesitated for a moment, weighed the physical strength and endurance she needed in the past, and then made up her mind to crawl down.

After a stick of incense, the third ambergris plant fell into her cloth bag.

She looked up at the top of the cliff, took a deep breath, and crawled up carefully again.

Just as I was about to climb to the top of the cliff, a low voice suddenly sounded softly: "There is another plant underneath, which is higher than the three plants in your cloth bag combined."

This sound scared Murong Qiqi very much. His feet slipped and he fell straight to the bottom of the cliff.

The man who spoke obviously did not expect that the other party would be so scared by him. If he knew that she was guilty of coming here to get medicine, he would probably not speak to scare her.

Seeing the woman below falling straight down, his face calmed down, and suddenly he tapped his feet and jumped gently, and he also chased her off the cliff.

Although Qiqi was so scared that she fell off the cliff, she did not give up. Instead, she focused her mind and paid attention to the surrounding environment along the way. She finally saw a rock growing everywhere, so she quickly went over and climbed up.

The rock slid from her palm. Although she still couldn't save herself, the falling force finally slowed down a little.

In just a few minutes, a man in white clothes had already come to her side, snatched her wrist with his big palm, and lit his feet twice on the stone wall. The two of them magically rushed to the top of the cliff.

But Murong Qiqi suddenly shouted: "Wait, stop."

Stop... The man in white frowned slightly, lowered his eyes and looked at her little face slightly red because of her strength. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

At this time, she was not scared and screamed, but calmly asked him to stop. Is this woman too slow or so courageous?

I didn't know what flashed in my eyes, but suddenly there was a little prank in my heart. He relaxed his hand and Qiqi, who had lost his traction, immediately slipped down.

However, Qiqi was prepared this time. The moment he let go of herself, she tightly clamped on the protruding stones. Even though she still couldn't stop it, she stopped herself quickly.

"Thank you." After giving a thank you word, she didn't even raise her head a little, and quickly groped to the other end of the cliff.

The fourth ambergris plant has thick stems and leaves, full and juicy. As the man said, it is even more valuable than the combined three plants just now.

She happily packed the ambergris, then turned around and smiled happily at the man in white who was still hanging on the stone wall, "You have a good attitude, thank you."

This smile seemed so plain and innocent under the faint moonlight, with bright eyes and kind eyes, delicate eyebrows, red lips and verdant nose. The small and straight nose bridge made the world lose its lust.

It is really rare for an ordinary woman who collects herbs to be so beautiful.

But the man in white did not stop for her. Seeing that she had begun to steadily climb up, he no longer hesitated, and a few light points under his feet, he stood firmly on the top of the cliff in a blink of an eye.

Qiqi was a little regretful. He should have asked him to help him. It was not difficult to help her get up with such good martial arts skills.

After finally climbing to the top of the cliff, Qiqi collapsed on the grass and thorned his limbs, and he was so tired that he had only the strength to breathe.

I thought the man in white was a royal family just now and would wait here to question him, but after coming up, I didn't see him. Fortunately, maybe he was just like her, just a treasure hunter.

However, judging from his extraordinary demeanor, even if he can't see his face clearly, he knows that he is definitely not from an ordinary family. Such a person is not rich, so he should not get involved with him.

After resting for a while, she got up and used the moonlight to explore the foot of the mountain.

Although I only harvested four ambergris tonight, it is not difficult to eat meat and drink wine for the rest of the month with these four herbs alone.
