Chapter 153 Hard to Buy
As soon as the news of Mingyuzhai was released, the women of each family rushed to get in. The door of Mingyuzhai was crowded with servants sent by each family to buy makeup powder, blocking the entrance of Mingyuzhai so tightly that no one could get in.
"Everyone, don't crowd, come one by one!"
The servant of Mingyuzhai was shouting, trying hard to maintain order, but unfortunately his words were useless. The people at the door were still in chaos, and some even started quarreling.
“I was here first!”
"Who do you think you are? Our wife is the wife of the Minister of Personnel!"
……
Su Qingyu came out from the back door. When she got on the carriage, she saw a commotion at the entrance of Mingyuzhai. She patted her chest and said, "Luckily Gui Wan informed Mingyuzhai in advance, otherwise I wouldn't be able to buy it today."
"The princess is so kind to the young lady."
"Yes, Gui Wan treats me very well." Su Qingyu murmured.
As soon as the Su Mansion's carriage left Mingyuzhai, the Mingyuzhai's steward came out and said loudly, "Everyone, go back. The new makeup powder has sold out. Please come back next time!"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar among the people at the door.
"When will the goods be available?"
"No way! My wife will definitely scold me if I don't buy it today!"
"Please be more flexible."
……
Suddenly, the entrance to Mingyuzhai became even more chaotic. The servants and stewards at the door were completely overwhelmed. "Hurry up and ask the master to come over and ask what to do next."
These were servants from wealthy families, not people they could afford to offend.
Shi Lingyue sat in the attic, watching the scene below. The servant immediately came up to her and asked. Shi Lingyue put down the teacup in her hand and said calmly, "Then go down."
The people at the door watched Shi Lingyue walk out of the building, and suddenly everyone fell silent.
"Everyone, please be patient. This powder was recently produced, so there isn't much left. If you want more, please come back in seven days. We'll have new rouge available soon."
"There will be another batch of goods every seven days. You can come back then."
With Shi Lingyue's words, everyone quieted down and left Mingyuzhai in an orderly manner. Mingyuzhai's new makeup powder became famous overnight, and everyone in the capital knew that it was a collaboration between Yu Guiwan and Mingyuzhai.
What's more, medicinal herbs for beautifying and nourishing the skin are added to it. Which woman doesn't love beauty? Therefore, this makeup powder sells particularly well, and the price is even getting higher and higher. If you want to buy it with a gold ingot, you can only go to Mingyuzhai. The other ways to buy it are more expensive than each other.
The entire capital knew about this news, so naturally the imperial palace was no exception.
Even Xie Zhiyi, who was in solitary confinement, got the news and sent people out of the palace to buy it several times but all came back empty-handed. Xie Zhiyi was so angry that he cursed Yu Guiwan several times behind his back.
Xie Zhiyi sat on the swing, swinging and looking at the sky boredly.
Only half a month had passed, and she still had to stay in this hall for another half a month. She felt that she would be bored to death if she continued like this.
"Go and tell my mother that I was wrong and ask her to let me go." Xie Zhiyi waved to a maid and gave an order.
"Now you know it was wrong?"
A woman in gorgeous palace clothing walked towards Xie Zhiyi. Seeing Xie Zhiyi sitting like this, she scolded him, "Yong'an, standing has its own posture, sitting has its own way. What are you doing like this?"
The Queen originally thought that locking her up for half a month would help her to be more restrained, but now it seems that it is of no use to her at all.
When Xie Zhiyi heard this, he immediately stood up straight, "Mother."
"Tomorrow the palace will hold a flower-viewing banquet to choose a husband for you. If you want to go out, this is your only choice." The queen looked at Xie Zhiyi with a stern face, and her tone did not allow anyone to refuse.
"I'm not going!"
When Xie Zhiyi heard about this, he immediately got furious.
She could agree to any other request, but she would never agree to this one!
"If you don't want to go, then you should stay here for me. Come out when you have figured it out." The queen didn't waste any more words with her. After she finished speaking, she immediately took the palace maid away.
"Mother, I will go."
When Xie Zhi saw that his mother was not joking, he immediately agreed.
Anyway, she doesn't like any of the men in the capital. She thought to herself, "When the enemy comes, the army will fight, and when the water comes, the earth will cover it. I will leave this palace first. It's better than being locked up forever."
When the Queen heard this, she smiled with satisfaction and said, "Your new clothes are ready, and I have asked someone to make your favorite jewelry for you. They will be delivered to you later. You must look beautiful tomorrow."
The queen gave some more instructions before leaving with her people.
As soon as the Queen left, a maid entered Xie Zhiyi's palace. "Your servant greets Her Royal Highness. My eldest princess knows that you love things from Ming Yu Zhai the most. Thinking of tomorrow's banquet, she specially asked me to bring you some makeup powder."
As he spoke, two brocade boxes were placed in front of Xie Zhiyi.
When she opened it, she looked delighted and asked, "Is this the latest new product?" You know, she had asked people to buy it several times but failed to buy it, and now there were two boxes in front of her.
"To answer your question, Princess, this is a new product. The eldest princess finally bought a few boxes and specially asked me to deliver it to you. Tomorrow you will be able to outshine all the other beauties at the banquet."
"Then I will not be polite. Go back and tell my aunt that I am here. I will come to pay my respects to her at her mansion another day."
Xie Zhiyi immediately waved his hand and asked the maid to take the reward silver to the maid who was running errands in front of him.

This time, the Queen invited some of the most prominent figures in the capital, so naturally, Yu Guiwan had to invite them. Yu Guiwan had just received the invitation sent by the Queen.
As soon as Yu Guiwan saw the content of the post, he understood what the Queen was planning to do. The last marriage was ruined by Princess Yong'an, and this time she invited many female relatives and unmarried young men from various families.
I guess she's going to choose a husband for Xie Zhiyi. I wonder which young man the Queen has her eyes on.
Yu Guiwan didn't think it was a big deal. After all, she was just there to make up the numbers and it didn't concern her. But Xie Sui's face darkened after reading the post. He was still frightened by the banquet hosted by the Queen last time.
"Go and tell them that the princess is not feeling well and will not be going."
Xie Sui spoke up for Yu Guiwan. Fuqiu was about to go out to answer her when Yu Guiwan called her back. "Fuqiu, you're not allowed to go. Go prepare the clothes you'll wear when you enter the palace tomorrow."
"Alright, Princess Yong'an, how dare you bully me now? Don't worry, I know what's going on." Yu Guiwan pinched Xie Sui's fingers and said with a look of assurance. She lowered her eyes, already making up her mind.
