Su Yiqing was resting in a small attic by the lake at this time.

When Lu Teng entered the attic, she saw Su Yiqing sitting by the window and playing the chess game again, so she went forward and bowed, and asked, "Princess, the new chef has made a few desserts. Do you want to try it?"

Although Su Yiqing doesn't eat sweets often and never says she likes it, careful people can always observe it. Therefore, the chefs recruited by the royal palace are good at all kinds of novel snacks, so Lu Teng came in and asked.

"No, I don't want to eat it now." Su Yiqing only ate the good things she likes when she is calm or happy, and will not eat it when she is in a bad mood, so as not to think of her mood when she tastes her favorite snacks in the future.

At this time, she couldn't say she was in a bad mood. She just didn't want to eat too many sweets. She had to restrain herself. After eating too much, she wouldn't feel delicious. Then she thought about it and said, "Make me a cup of Pu'er tea."

She doesn't like drinking tea, but she likes to smell the fragrance of tea. The lingering fragrance can make people feel relaxed.

"Yes." Lu Teng retreated and soon brought a cup of tea. She understood the princess' likes and knew that the princess did not pay attention to the time of cooking tea, but liked to smell the tea fragrance. She brought a cup first, and then found another maid who she was good at, and then cooked it on a red stove and simmered it slowly.

After putting down the teacup, Lu Teng said, "Princess, when I came in just now, Madam Xin said that Haitang was coming and wanted to meet the princess. I wonder if the princess wants to see her?"

"Haitang, what are she doing?" Su Yiqing felt instinctively that Haitang was not like Liu'er, and she often came to pay tribute to her if she had nothing to do.

Lu Teng replied: "It is probably because Mrs. Quan Si’s tea shop has a bad business, and she is a little worried. What should she do if the tea shop collapses?"

Su Yiqing frowned and looked up at Lu Teng, "Has Mrs. Quan Si's tea shop business always been good? Why did it suddenly go bad?"

Lu Teng explained, "It's such a princess. The reason why Mrs. Quan Si's tea shop is good is that in addition to Mrs. Quan Si's favorites of the powerful and nobles in Yancheng is more convenient for her to purchase tea with our princesses... But recently, I haven't followed this business, such as salt tea, and there are heavy taxes. There are various checkpoints along the way. It's very expensive for people who don't care about purchasing goods. Some new teas can't be bought even if they have money, so the business is naturally bad."

Su Yiqing looked at Green Teng and said nothing.

Lu Teng said again: "This is what the prince means. Since Mrs. Quan does not want to have too much involvement with Prince Ding's Mansion, let her live it well by herself."

I knew this was what Lian Yufeng meant. He seemed to be a little vengeful. That day, he said he should teach Mrs. Quan a lesson. She didn't listen, and he made a decision without authorization.

"Actually, the prince didn't say what to do, he just expressed some meaning, all of which were the intentions of the people below." Lu Teng was afraid that Su Yiqing would be unhappy, so he hurriedly explained for Lian Yufeng.

"Okay, I understand." Su Yiqing didn't want to pursue the matter. Even Yufeng did this, it was impossible to say that it was wrong. Mrs. Quan Si was afraid that something would implicate her in the Ding Mansion, so she completely drew a clear line and let Mrs. Quan Si measure the gains and losses by herself. If Mrs. Quan Si thought it would be OK, then she would let her go.

But this begonia... Su Yiqing sighed secretly, helping others to the end, but where is the bottom? She only sighed for a moment that day. Perhaps due to her previous habits, she didn't want a young woman like Haitang to stay in the Ding Palace for the rest of her life, so that the palace would be more purified and less.

But no one can guarantee that Haitang will be smooth sailing after going out, and life will be more comfortable than Dingwang Mansion. At least there is no need to worry about three meals a day in Dingwang Mansion, and there is no need to do anything. Now that I am going out, I work and earn money by myself, and I need money for every needle and thread. I feel a little insecure to work for others, and I naturally worry about some troubles.

"If the princess doesn't meet Haitang, I will send her away." Lu Teng asked after observing her expression.

"Forget it, let her come in." Su Yiqing wanted to hear what this begonia was going to say.

After a short time together, she felt that this begonia was not like the kind of person who was unreasonable and asked for this and that, perhaps when he went out of the Ding Palace, he had to rely on himself for everything. For a weak woman like her who was helpless and unreliable, she was indeed a little embarrassed.

Su Yiqing was not kind-hearted, but she thought about herself back then. When she was wandering alone, she was also very confused. She could understand Haitang's anxiety.

Lu Teng retreated, came to the corner gate, saw Haitang waiting, and said, "The princess said she wanted to see you."

Haitang suddenly showed joy on his face and kept thanking Green Vine. While leading Haitang out, Green Vine said, "Miss Haitang, I want to remind you that in front of the princess, you should be careful when speaking. The princess is kind-hearted, and you should be content. Don't bother the princess with a little bit of trivial matters."

"Yes, I know." Haitang Nuonuo agreed.

Green Teng didn't expect Haitang to listen. If she really wanted to persuade her in one or two words, Haitang wouldn't just come here, but as a maid, she still needs to remind her what she should remind her.

It’s just that sometimes it’s not convenient to say too much, so as not to dare to say a word in front of the princess later. After the princess asked, it seemed that it was hers.

After leading Haitang into the small attic by the lake, Haitang saw Su Yiqing and saluted in a regular manner, "The civilian girl has met the princess."

Su Yiqing nodded and said, "No need to be polite, just sit down."

"The young lady dares not sit in front of the princess." Haitang didn't dare to sit with Princess Ding. She knew her identity. People like her were not worthy. To be polite, they must not take it seriously.

"Sit down, you are no longer a singer in the royal palace, nor a servant, so it is inconvenient to speak while standing." Su Yiqing said lightly, "I don't like me sitting very much, people talking while standing."

Speaking of this, Haitang had to sit down as he said.

Su Yiqing said: "I won't say anything politely. I've heard Lu Teng say just now. Are you worried that Mrs. Quan Si's tea shop has a bad business and will not be settled in the future, right?"

"It's just a private girl who caused trouble for the princess, but she is the only one... it's unimaginable." Haitang also knew that it was so troublesome, and she felt a little ashamed and couldn't help but lower her head.

"It is natural for you to worry." Su Yiqing said, and said again: "I don't know much about this tea shop business, but I want to ask you, since you are worried, what are your plans if the tea shop really collapses? Have you ever thought about it?"

Su Yiqing is a kind of temptation. If this crabapple is the kind who doesn't think about anything and just wants to live a lifetime with others' arrangements, then forget it. Find a place for her in the palace villa and do some simple living for a lifetime. She has no idleness for a stranger's life.

Even the biological parents cannot make arrangements for their children in fact, let alone her.

"Yes, I have thought about it." Haitang was glad that he had thought of this question before, otherwise the princess would have asked it now, and it would be a bit troublesome if she had nothing to say.

After thinking about it, Haitang said, "Remember, I think so. I have no other skills and have never done anything else. I have some experience in working in Mrs. Quan Si’s tea shop. I think if Mrs. Quan Si’s tea shop really can’t be opened, I want to open a smaller tea shop myself."

"Oh, this is a solution, but it is not that easy for a woman to open a store alone. Have you ever thought about it?" Su Yiqing was satisfied with Haitang's answer. Whether it is feasible or not, at least Haitang had thought about it, and not everything was waiting for someone else to arrange it.

"I thought about it. It is impossible for me, a woman, to do big business, so I open a small tea shop and do some neighbors' business, and the location is near Xue Niang's house..." Haitang slowly explained his previous plans one by one.

Although she was eager to tell Princess Ding about General Shao’s wife, she knew that some things were unhurried, and there was Lu Teng beside her and she had to find a suitable opportunity to avoid Lu Teng and tell Princess Ding alone.

"This idea is very good." Su Yiqing nodded. Although the plan had many loopholes, it was not impossible. Finally, Haitang was a little brainy. Women who knew how to use their brains usually couldn't make any mistakes.

Haitang smiled embarrassedly and said, "It's just the princess. After all, I have been taken care of by Mrs. Quan for so long. Now seeing the tea shop like this, Mrs. Quan is frowning all day long, and I can't help but feel a little worried. I heard..."

Speaking of this, Haitang stopped, seemed a little worried, and couldn't help but glance at the green vine standing aside to serve.

"Lu Vine, go and change two cups of hot tea." Su Yiqing saw Haitang's concerns and ordered Green Vine.

Green Vine responded and stepped back gently.

Su Yiqing then said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Haitang still did not tell General Shao’s wife about it all at once, but continued: “I heard from the shopkeeper of the tea shop that Mrs. Quan Si offended the prince’s house, so… the business of this tea shop is not good… Princess, please don’t get me wrong. I just… I just think Mrs. Quan Si is a good person. If there is any misunderstanding.”

Haitang was a little nervous, and his words were inevitably incoherent.

"Actually, there is nothing to misunderstand." Su Yiqing smiled and said, "This is just Mrs. Quan Si's own choice. You may not know that outsiders seem to be very glorious when they see Prince Ding's Mansion, but in fact there are many things, and there are many involvement in all aspects. Mrs. Quan Si is a little worried and wants to avoid it."

Haitang was still a little confused and looked at Su Yiqing and didn't know what to ask.

Su Yiqing said: "After all, Mrs. Quan Si and I are relatives, so I won't deliberately make things difficult for Mrs. Quan Si. So you want to open a store by yourself or continue to work in the tea shop. The business of this tea shop is a little bad, and it won't be so good for a while. Of course, if you want to do your own business, I can help you. Xue Niang and the others are living a good life now. It's not easy for you to open a store by a woman. You can cooperate with Xue Niang and the others and take care of each other."

"Princess..." Haitang was a little reluctant to speak, and then looked around, looking very cautious.

"Is there anything else?" Su Yiqing was a little surprised by Haitang's behavior. She had a sense of intuition. She seemed to have something important to Haitang, and said, "If you have something to say, we are the only one here."

This was to suggest that no one eavesdropped. Haitang blushed a little, for his petty family, and then said: "It's such a princess... You asked about General Shao's wife last time..."

Speaking of this, Haitang stopped again.

Su Yiqing's heart moved and said, "Did you say anything last time?"

"No...no." Haitang stammered, "I'm just worried that what I said last time would cause trouble to General Shao's wife?"

"Do you think it's OK?" Su Yiqing asked back.

Haitang could hear what Princess Ding meant. Princess Ding was actually asking her if she would use the information she asked from her to be detrimental to General Shao’s wife.

"The young lady thinks that the princess is not that kind of person." Haitang said with certainty. A few days ago, she was not sure, but now she is sure, because General Shao also said that she would seek help from Princess Ding. This means that the princess and General Shao have a friendship. Since General Shao can trust the princess, what should she have to doubt?

"If you are so sure, you wouldn't have asked this." Su Yiqing smiled, "This is your purpose today, or are you worried about this these days?"

She was still wondering just now that from her previous understanding of Haitang, she was not like the kind of person who was more and more eager to do so. Why did she hurried over when she encountered a little difficulty?

It seems that what happened just now is just a reason. The most important purpose of this begonia is to ask about Dujuan. The exact life is to be sure, and she will not be detrimental to Dujuan.

"The young woman may not be so sure, but yesterday she was very sure that the princess would not harm General Shao's wife." Haitang sincerely said his heart.

"Why is that?" Su Yiqing didn't know why Haitang asked this, but she felt that she shouldn't have asked this.

Haitang gritted his teeth and pressed his voice to the lowest point, "Because the young lady met General Shao's wife yesterday."

"What?" Su Yiqing was shocked. She didn't expect that Haitang could actually see Dujuan, which means that Dujuan was still hidden in a place in Yancheng.

After being surprised, Su Yiqing slowly calmed down and looked at Haitang and stopped talking.

She couldn't see Haitang's intention clearly for a moment, so what if she saw Du Juan? Why did this Haitang come to tell her about this news? Is it because she wanted to use this news to get any benefits from her? If so, she misreaded this Haitang. It is not advisable for someone who can betray others for some benefit.

Haitang didn't guess what Su Yiqing was thinking, and just whispered: "General Shao's situation is very dangerous. She wants to leave the city. She heard that the people of the people knew the Ding Prince's Mansion and wanted the people of the people to bring a message to the princess. Ask the princess if she could help?"

Su Yiqing was stunned again. She didn't expect Du Juan to ask her for help. They didn't seem to have that friendship. After a moment of silence, she asked: "Have you told her what you told me about General Shao's past?"
