Today is the third day Darlene and Catherine returned to the capital, and it is also a very important day, because the goods brought back from Xiyang City will start selling tomorrow, and today is the last day of preparation.
Now Darlene is busy in the store. Except for the first day of rest, she devotes herself wholeheartedly to the preparations for the sale of the goods. She must prepare for a blockbuster in the capital. Although there is an amazing capital of perfume, but She also doesn't want to make a big mistake.
"Put it lightly, it doesn't matter if you slow down, don't drop things."
"Put this on the shelf over there, yes, put it further there, and put the rest in the cabinet below, it will be convenient for shipment tomorrow."
"Stop, this shelf is broken, replace it quickly, be careful, the opening tomorrow is very important, and many nobles will come over."
Darlene's crisp voice sounded again and again in the shop, directing the actions of the guys, managing everything in an orderly manner, without panic at all.
Tomorrow is really a big test for Darlene. If she makes a mistake, those nobles or jealous merchants will find excuses to attack her. After all, the items sold tomorrow are too amazing.
"Ta Tata..."
Footsteps could be heard outside the shop, and then a familiar voice sounded, "Dalena, I'm here, open the door quickly."
"Bang bang bang!"
"Really... the Duke let her out so quickly to be mischievous?" Darlene rolled her eyes. The voice belonged to Catherine. Did she hear that Catherine was shut up at home by the Duke to think about it?Why did you go out so soon?
"Here we come!" Darlene opened the door herself.
"Gag!"
The door opened, she stared blankly at the two figures behind Catherine, and immediately gave a noble salute, "Meet Princess Lucy."
"Dalena, long time no see." Princess Lucy smiled lightly.
"Please come in!" Darlene stepped aside immediately, her blue eyes secretly staring at Catherine.
"Yes, go in quickly, there are a lot of good things inside." Catherine hurriedly pushed Princess Lucy into the shop, and stuck out her tongue when she passed by Darlene.
Princess Lucy came to look for her today, and it was because of this that she was able to escape from the Duke's mansion. Her father knew about her illness that day, and she was locked up for several days and was not allowed to go out.
"You go out secretly without telling me." Princess Lucy complained as she walked. She went to see Catherine today just to ask where the two of them have been these days.
"Please follow me to the backyard." Darlene led the way, and Princess Lucy came to the door herself, so she had to accompany her no matter what.
The four came to the backyard of the store. Catherine, Darlene, and Princess Lucy found a place to sit, while the leopard-eared girl stood leaning against the wall.
"Miss Jones, come and sit down too." Darlene invited the standing lady with leopard ears, "There is still room here."
"No." Jones said coldly.
"Don't call her Darlene, that's the way Jones is."
Princess Lucy said softly, she knew why Jones didn't sit down. In Jones' words, when danger comes, the reaction time of standing is one second faster than sitting.
"Yeah!" Darlene nodded without forcing, opened a box on the table, took out two packs of milk tea from it, tore open the two packs and poured them into hot water pots, and poured them separately for everyone present. Had a glass.
This milk tea drink was given to her by Ms. Nicole. She gave her a total of five packs. She left one pack for her father and drank two packs on the way. Now there are only the last two packs left.
"..." Catherine scratched her cheek embarrassingly. She also received five packs of milk tea drinks, but she couldn't help but drank them all on the way.
"Smells so good, what is this?" Princess Lucy raised her pretty nose, looking at the white drink in the glass in surprise.
"Milk tea is a new type of drink, it's delicious." Catherine introduced with a smile on the corner of her mouth, picked up the ceramic cup and blew on it, and took a sip.
The taste of milk and sweetness are very light. Because of the lot of water, she also made it like this when she was on the boat. A large pot of milk tea can last for half a day for two people.
"Oh?" Princess Lucy also picked up the ceramic cup and blew carefully. After taking a sip, her golden eyes sparkled, and she immediately turned her head and shouted to the Leopard-eared lady, "Jones, come and drink milk tea, this is very good drink."
"..." Looking into Princess Lucy's expectant eyes, Jones stepped over to pick up a cup of milk tea, took a sip, and then stood back with the cup.
"Hee hee..." Princess Lucy laughed and drank the milk tea when she saw the behavior of Bao Er Niang, which made Jones not put down the cup, which shows that she also likes this drink very much.
"Isn't it delicious?" Catherine chuckled lightly, as if I was right.
"Well, it's really delicious, where can I buy this?" Princess Lucy asked curiously, she liked the light sweetness very much.
"Not for sale yet." Darlene put down the ceramic cup and said softly, "Probably won't be available until next year."
"Next year?" Princess Lucy's golden eyes flickered, and she asked, "Is this milk tea the place you got when you went out?"
"Yes." Darlene nodded. There is nothing to hide. As soon as the goods are sold tomorrow, Xiyang City will definitely be exposed. There are quite a few people who have been to Xiyang City.
"That's it." Princess Lucy nodded, and didn't ask where it was. The place that can produce such drinks must be kept secret.
"A city in a remote part of the western land is called Xiyang City, where the milk tea comes from." Darlene said indifferently.
"Huh?" Princess Lucy looked at Darlene in surprise, and asked in confusion, "Aren't you keeping this place a secret?"
"It can't be guaranteed, and many people will know about it soon." Darlene shook her head, picked up the ceramic cup and took a sip.
"That's it." Princess Lucy nodded, paused, and said shyly, "Today I'm here to say goodbye to you."
"Huh?" Catherine and Darlene stared blankly at Princess Lucy.
"Lucy, what do you mean?" Catherine quickly grabbed Princess Lucy's hand, and the two were cousins by blood.
Chapter 0416 Take the throne and become queen?
"It's just that I've stayed in the capital for too long, and I want to go out for a stroll and find inspiration for a new novel." Princess Lucy shook her head, a strand of blond hair fell from her forehead, covering half of her right eye.
"Huh? But it's winter now?" Catherine was astonished, she fixed her eyes on the smiling Princess Lucy, and asked in confusion, "Didn't you always choose spring and autumn when you left the royal city? Why do you think of going out in winter this year?"
She used to go out with Princess Lucy to relax, that is, to several cities near the capital, and the two seasons were spring and autumn.
"It's not that I have left the royal city in winter before, and this time I want to see the winter scenery of other cities." Princess Lucy said softly, pulling her blond hair behind her ears.
"Is that so?" Catherine frowned. She always felt that Lucy had something to do, so she chose to go out in winter.
"Of course...otherwise what else is there?" Princess Lucy pursed her lips slightly, she had no choice but to leave.
If she didn't leave, her father would force her to leave, and the battle for the throne became more and more cruel.
The king of England is not in good health, and rumors have spread all over the city. Many nobles and well-informed businessmen know about it, and only Catherine and Darlene, who have just returned to the capital for two or three days, don't know about it.
The eldest prince Lucia and the second prince Greener have been fighting fiercely recently. Many nobles stood in line one after another, and almost drew their swords to cut each other. Many small nobles died. They were all eliminated in the exchange of benefits. of.
"..." Darlene looked at Lucy, who had a sad and slightly relaxed face, and couldn't help frowning. Her blue eyes scanned the surroundings, and paused on the Leopard-Er Niang.
Something was wrong, she immediately thought of something wrong, Darlene narrowed her green eyes slightly, and said flatly, "Princess Lucy, will the King of England agree to you leaving the royal city in winter?"
"Well... the father has already agreed." Princess Lucy was slightly stunned, and her face flashed a little unnaturally.
"..." Darlene raised her eyebrows, recalling what happened in the capital in her mind, which actually caused the most beloved princess of the King of England to leave the capital in winter.
