Her earlobes grew numb, and she stared at the man in the mirror, dazed for a moment.

It wasn't until a sharp pain in her earlobes that she suddenly realized the needle had pierced her earlobe.

It hurt, but not as much as she'd imagined.

"Wan Xi, bring the hemostatic powder over." The man spoke.

Wan Xi quickly passed it over.

The man took out the needle and beads of blood started to appear on Yun Qixi's earlobe. He used a clean silk cloth to absorb the blood drops and sprinkled the medicinal powder on her earlobe.

"Alright."

Yun Qixi saw in the copper mirror that the man was staring at her earlobes, her lips curled up into a smile, as though she was very satisfied with her own masterpiece.

Yun Qixi felt that her earlobes were burning. She stood up and started to size up the man.

His tall body was wrapped in an exquisite white cloth, and on his waist hung an exquisite jade pendant along with a jade flute.

Yun Qixi guessed that the flute music just now should have been emitted by this jade flute.

"Miss, please remember not to touch the water these few days."

As the man spoke, he had a pair of long and narrow eyes that carried a faint warm smile. As his gaze turned, it added a bit of seductive charm to it.

What a devilish man! She was so beautiful that even women would be jealous of her.

Apologies, Yun Qixi coughed lightly and looked down.

"Thank you, mm …"

Seeing how difficult it was for her to say anything, the man smiled faintly and said, "If Miss has something to say, please say it."

Yun Qixi finally lifted her eyes, looked straight at her beautiful face, and said with difficulty, "I have a presumptuous request."

The man continued to stare at her with a smile, his face as warm as jade, waiting for her next words.

"If someone asks, can you say that you hit this ear hole as well?" Yun Qixi pointed to her left ear.

Yun Qixi was afraid that he would not agree, and immediately said: "I will pay you double the salary."

Hearing this, the man's smile became wider and wider. His almond-shaped eyes had gained a lot of charm, and even his voice was filled with charm.

"It is my honor to be able to punch a girl's ear holes today."

As he spoke, the man's slender fingers took out a stalk of tea from the jar. He stepped forward and stuck a stalk of tea into the second ear hole of her left ear.

"Three days later, the girl will come over. I'll let you have a look."

Yun Qixi's ears burned once more as she nodded her head and took out some silver and handed it over.

However, the man did not extend his hand to receive it, and smiled, "I have already said before, it is my honor to be able to punch a girl's ear holes today. Furthermore, since young lady has taken a fancy to these two earrings, I shall give them to young lady.

"How can that be?" Wouldn't it be a waste to go bankrupt doing business like this?

Yun Qixi insisted on placing the silver on the table. The man laughed helplessly and sighed.

"Being acquainted with a girl is a type of fate. There's no need for a girl to be like this."

Yun Qixi laughed heartily, "There's no need to send me off. I'll come back to buy things in the future, just give me a discount. Also, you must remember that you were the one who hit these two ear holes. " She was worried and stressed again.

The man's brows slightly raised as he smiled and nodded his head.

"Of course."

Thinking that the Qiao Er might be returning soon, Yun Qixi left the Agarwood Pavillion. As expected, the Qiao Er was already waiting there, looking around anxiously.

Inside the Agarwood Pavillion, Wan Xi could not help but be curious, "Young Master, why …"

The man looked through the bead curtain at Yun Qixi and Qiao Er leaving, smiling faintly.

"If I'm not mistaken, she should be a Miss Er of the National Duke Palace, which means she will become a Crown Princess in the future."

"Miss Er Yun?" Wan Xi frowned, "Was it Young Master who had specially painted her with a jewellery pattern, Miss Er Yun?"

The man nodded.

"Young master, if you say it like that, Wan Xi has some impression of you, but why doesn't Miss Er Yun seem to recognize you?"

The man chuckled as his long and narrow almond-shaped eyes narrowed with a tinge of profoundness.

"Because she isn't her at all."

"Miss Er, all the steamed buns at the east of the city have been sold out." Qiao Er felt a bit disheartened with her empty hands.

"It doesn't matter."

After resolving a major matter, Yun Qixi felt extremely relaxed.

"Isn't Miss Er hungry?" Qiao Er did not understand.

Yun Qixi seized Qiao Er's shoulders, "If you don't have any buns, we can go eat something else." As she spoke, she saw the steaming wonton on the street that was coming out of the pot.

"Miss, how about a bowl of wontons?" Seeing how Yun Qixi was drooling, the old man who was cooking wontons greeted him warmly.

"Sure." Yun Qixi laughed as she walked over.

Qiao Er frowned, "Miss Er, are you going to eat here? "Isn't that good?"

The Miss Er was the princess of the Duke's Palace. How could the future Crown Princess eat things from these roadside stalls?

However, Yun Qixi had already pulled her to sit down, and looked expectantly at the pot that was emitting hot air, her voice was light and joyful.

"What's wrong with that? "Let me tell you, the real delicacies are in the people, you don't understand."

One sentence without understanding made Qiao Er a little depressed, Miss Er did understand more and more, and she also understood more and more.

Seeing that Yun Qixi was patting his ears from time to time, Qiao Er was surprised, "Miss Er, your ears?"

Yun Qixi raised her chin proudly, "The Agarwood Pavillion people helped me punch my ear holes just now."

"Why did the Miss Er punch out two ear holes?" Qiao Er did not understand.

Yun Qixi laughed, "What's the point of this, I just like it. It's called a feature, you don't understand."

Qiao Er was very gloomy.

"I heard that the Miss Er who died in the National Duke Palace a few days ago suddenly came to life."

At a nearby table, gossips were suddenly heard.
