Chapter 76 The girl is definitely not a common person
Several little beggars nodded at the same time, obviously agreeing with Yuanbao's words.
"Brother Bao, why do you think the girl wants to help us? We have no relationship with her." Another little beggar muttered in a low voice.
He has been begging for so many years, but he has never met such a good person.
Yuanbao had never encountered this before. He lowered his brows and thought for a moment before saying, "Maybe it's just because the girl is kind-hearted and feels sorry for us."
Another person said, "Why would we beggars want to do this? We should repay those who feed us."
Yuan Bao nodded and said, "That's right, the girl is beautiful and likes to be alone. She might be in danger someday. That will be the time for us to repay her."
The eyes of the little coal balls suddenly lit up. Their usual repetitive begging life suddenly had a goal, which was to protect the girl.
Song Youan was waiting quietly in the side hall, but the servant just now did not tell him clearly how long he would have to wait here.
Just leave the perfume and go?
It also made her seem impolite, after all, it was Miss Li who posted the message for her specifically.
The tea on the table gradually cooled down. When a maid came in to replace it for her, she caught up with her and asked, "May I ask what your young lady is busy with? How long will I have to wait?"
The little maid said, "Miss, please be patient. My young lady is currently learning etiquette from the palace tutor. There are set times for this, and she must study for the full time."
"The palace maid?"
Song Youan thought of the costume dramas she had watched. The girls who learned etiquette from the palace maids were all preparing to enter the palace to serve the emperor.
The maid smiled meaningfully, nodded, and left without saying anything more.
Song Youan could probably guess something. She had met Miss Li twice. She was gentle and generous, with a gentle temperament. She was very outstanding among many noble ladies.
In addition, she was the legitimate daughter of Duke Su, so it was not surprising that she entered the palace as a concubine.
She continued to wait obediently. About half an hour later, footsteps were heard outside the side hall.
"Miss Song, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
Li Chuyou was wearing a fruit orange dress today. Although the color was bright, it could not hide her fair skin and beautiful appearance.
Song Youan stood up and saluted: "Hello, Miss."
Li Chuyou asked Song Youan to sit down and talk, while she half leaned on the soft couch in the main seat and relaxed her neck. She said helplessly, "I've been standing for several hours, and my body is stiff. I won't be so formal with Miss Song."
As soon as she finished speaking, the maid beside her took the initiative to step forward and massage her shoulders.
Thinking back to when she first met Li Chuyou and Zhu Ling, she was more nervous facing Zhu Ling, but Li Chuyou gave her a much more friendly feeling.
But now, in just one month, the feeling has completely changed.
She could face Zhu Ling casually and calmly, but she felt a little restrained and uncomfortable with Li Chuyou at this time.
This might be related to the fact that she was going to enter the palace as a concubine, but Song Youan didn't think too much about it.
She took out the perfume she had prepared and told Li Chuyou in detail that she had prepared the perfume for him.
Li Chuyou smiled slightly when she heard this and said, "Miss Song, there's no need to be so polite. Perfume is a precious commodity in Kyoto these days. I've already received a bottle from you on behalf of my mother, so how can I ask for another one for free?"
"I want to express my gratitude to you, young lady. Please accept it." Song Youan said softly.
Li Chuyou looked at her and seemed to be hesitant to speak, but she stopped again after glancing at the servants in the room.
After hesitating for a moment, she raised her hand and ordered, "You go down first."
Upon hearing this, several maids bowed and took their leave. Song Youan looked at Li Chuyou with some confusion.
She smiled gently, slowly sat up straight on the soft seat, and then said, "If you want to say thank you, it should be me who should thank you, young lady."
"Thank me?" Song Youan was stunned, puzzled. "Why do you say that, Miss?"
Li Chuyou's pretty face actually blushed slightly at this moment. She lowered her eyes shyly and said slowly, "That day, I sprayed the perfume you gave to my mother and went into the palace to see the Queen Mother. The fragrance of the perfume emanated from my body, leaving a scent everywhere I passed. It just so happened that the Emperor was also in Yongning Palace that day. For the first time in all these years, he set his eyes on me seriously..."
Having said this, Li Chuyou felt extremely embarrassed and stopped talking immediately.
She raised her eyes in panic, her eyes like a deer's, mixed with a little panic: "I said something out of turn, miss, can you pretend you didn't hear it?"
Song Youan smiled sweetly and nodded in agreement: "Don't worry, Miss, I didn't hear anything."
This level of words is enough to make a rich young lady blush and her heart beat fast? For a girl from the new century like her, it is really too plain.
Don’t understand, but respect.
Li Chuyou calmed his throbbing heart and said softly, "Anyway, thank you for the perfume, young lady. I know that perfume has become popular among the young ladies of various mansions, but I am the first person in the eyes of the emperor, and that is enough."
"It is my honor to be able to do my best to help the young lady." Song Youan said.
Li Chuyou looked outside the door and called out softly, "Yu'er."
Yu'er, the personal maid, walked in gracefully and heard Li Chuyou say, "Go and get the golden corset that the emperor gave me."
"Yes."
Song Youan was a little frightened, having already seen through Li Chuyou's intention.
"Miss, that was a gift from the emperor to you. I cannot accept it." Song Youan said hurriedly.
What good luck did she have today? She just received a box of jewelry from the wife of the Marquis of Fuyang, and the next moment, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Su was going to give her a golden corset given by the emperor.
Li Chuyou just smiled without saying anything, as if he had already made up his mind.
After a while, Yu'er came back holding the golden corset. Song Youan only took a glance and was almost blinded by it.
The specific material is still unknown, but the large area of pure gold totems and red and blue sapphires inlaid on the waist are dazzling enough.
Such a corset must be paired with an extremely luxurious shawl to complement each other. How could a common merchant like me afford such an expensive gift?
"Miss, this is too valuable. I dare not accept it."
That’s right, she didn’t dare to accept it.
"There's nothing I'm afraid of." Li Chuyou regained his usual calm demeanor and looked at Song Youan and said, "Miss Song may feel that with your current status, this golden corset is of little use to you other than for viewing."
"But I know that Miss Song is definitely not an ordinary person. One day, you will need it."
Song Youan was slightly stunned, and seeing that Li Chuyou was serious, it was obvious that he was not joking.
"Thank you, Miss, for giving such a precious thing to me." Song Youan seemed to be touched by Li Chuyou's attitude and words, and she did not refuse anymore.
Li Chuyou smiled comfortably upon seeing this: "I told you, it's not Miss Song who's thanking me, it's me who's thanking you. Besides, this isn't a reward, it's a gift!"
