The Imperial Peasant Girl is Both Enigmatic and Dashing – Chapter 147

Chapter 147: Spending a Fortune

Xingqing was a little excited, finally going to the toilet!

The opportunity has finally arrived!

Sister taught her to personally make a few super salty snacks for her to eat, then she’ll drink a lot of water. Afterwards, first visit the fabric shop, then the cosmetics shop, then by the time they reach the silver shop, she’ll almost be bursting!

It really is like this!

Sister is really too smart!

At this time, the shopkeeper brought up a lot of jewelry. She smiled and said: “Princess Funing, where is Princess Changle?”

“She went to the toilet.”

The shopkeeper smiled and said: “Then Princess Funing can take a look first and see if there’s anything you like. This set is our shop’s treasure. The jadeite on it is imperial green…”

Saying this, the shopkeeper opened an exquisite jewelry box.

Xingqing: “No need to look. Younger Sister Changle told me to pick whatever I like. She’s very good to me. I want all of these. Just send them directly to Star Garden and charge it to Younger Sister Changle’s account.”

Xingqing calculated in her heart, these added up should be… she wasn’t very good at math.

Her calculation skills aren’t as good as her sister’s. Xingqing slowly calculated in her heart.

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, Star Garden?

That’s the residence of His Highness the Crown Prince!

This Treasure Pavilion belongs to His Highness the Crown Prince.

I heard that the master has a girl he’s interested in, and she’s living in Star Garden. Could it be this one?

She became even more respectful and said: “Yes, I’ll wrap them up and send them over right away. Treasure Pavilion has even better jewelry, would the Princess like to pick some out?”

Xingqing nodded: “The best ones, you can send them directly to Star Garden together. Bring some more up, I also want to give Younger Sister Changle a gift.”

“Okay! Please wait a moment, Princess.” This time, she respectfully took away all the jewelry boxes on the table, bowed, and then retreated.

Princess Changle returned from the toilet and saw that the previous jewelry had been taken away, and the newly brought up ones weren’t as good as the previous ones.

The price of a set was around one hundred taels.

She breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on her face: “Sister, did you not like the previous ones?”

Xingqing shook her head and only said: “Changle, take a look and see what you like, I’ll give it to you!”

Princess Changle smiled and said: “What are you talking about, Sister! Today is me giving you things. If Sister can’t choose, I’ll choose for Sister!”

So Princess Changle generously picked out two more sets and said to the shopkeeper: “Charge it all to my account!”

She buys jewelry every month, all of which are directly charged to her account and then settled at the end of the month.

“Yes! Princess Changle is so good to Princess Funing!” The shopkeeper praised.

Xingqing said with an embarrassed look: “I’ve spent so much silver, making you spend a fortune!”

It should be around ten thousand taels, right?

Princess Changle affectionately took Xingqing’s arm: “What’s the big deal? What’s mine is Sister’s! Sister, let’s go! Let’s go to a restaurant. I heard that Welcome Guest Restaurant has new dishes, they’re delicious, but it’s very hard to get a seat there. It’s still early, let’s go early and get a spot.”

The shopkeeper respectfully escorted the two out.

Princess Changle felt that the shopkeeper’s attitude was much more respectful than usual and was puzzled, but she couldn’t figure it out. She guessed it was because she was in a good mood!

The two got into the carriage and headed for the nearby Welcome Guest Restaurant.

Xingnong and Chu Tiankuo went out in a carriage. When they passed by Welcome Guest Restaurant, they happened to see Xingqing and Princess Changle, as well as a few other women standing outside the restaurant. The women were curtseying to Princess Changle. It looked like they had met by chance outside the restaurant.

Xingnong saw Zhou Yingying, Shen Mingzhu, and the woman she didn’t recognize that day.

Later, Songbai told her that she was Liang Qingyun, the daughter of the Prime Minister.

Zhou Yingying and Shen Mingzhu were able to see the Second Prince, it must have been Zhang Ruohua who asked Liang Qingyun to make the connection.

Both of them are famous talented women in the capital.

Zhang Ruohua is famous for formations, while Liang Qingyun is proficient in all kinds of arts, especially playing the zither.

Today, the few of them are gathered together again, probably to meet with the Second Prince.

Although they agreed not to meet today, just in case.

Xingnong was worried that the Second Prince might have some bad intentions after seeing Xingqing, after all, she clearly heard that he was interested in Shen Mingzhu that day.

It can be seen that he’s a lecher.

Xingnong said: “Senior Brother, let’s go to Welcome Guest Restaurant first.”

Chu Tiankuo naturally had no objections: “Okay.”

After the last time, and Shen Nan just came by, the shopkeeper saw Xingnong and knew which private room she wanted, so he immediately personally led her to that private room.

Shen Nan knew that Xingnong had arrived. He came to the private room and said to Xingnong: “I just saw the servant of the Heir Apparent of Prince Xiang of Zhao Kingdom. They are currently staying in the Tian Zi Number One Room at Welcome Guest Restaurant.”

The Heir Apparent of Prince Xiang of Zhao Kingdom had once been an envoy to Jin Kingdom. Shen Nan had seen the Heir Apparent’s servant while he was by Shen Hanyu’s side.

Shen Nan knows that Xingqing was bestowed the title of Princess for the purpose of marrying into Zhao Kingdom.

For this reason, he felt quite contemptuous of Chu Kingdom!

Xingnong frowned, “They arrived so soon? Didn’t they say they wouldn’t arrive for a few more days?”

She originally wanted to take Xingqing back to Futai County before the Zhao Kingdom envoy arrived.

Chu Tiankuo said: “The main group will arrive in a few days. He probably left the group and came ahead of time.”

Xingnong nodded, it seems that the time to go back has to be postponed for a few more days.

Forget it, let’s listen to what the people on the other side are saying first.

Xingnong and Songbai pressed their ears against the wall.

Chu Tiankuo pressed on the acupoint beside Xingnong’s ear, transmitting internal energy to her.
