A girl wearing a blush pink embroidered skirt flashed past Chu Miaoer's eyes, and doubts arose in her heart.
"she?"
Although she is wearing a veil, there is no mistaking her charming eyes.
Why did she come to Xiling alone?
Who did you come with?
Chu Miao'er couldn't help but feel doubtful. She took a step forward and found that she was still held in Fu Yunqi's hand.
She looked at the man who was about to disappear from her sight, frowned slightly, and had an idea, and quickly said: "Fourth Master, buy me a candy man."
Fu Yunchi looked at her in disbelief.
"You want a candy man?"
She nodded firmly.
"If you want to eat, buy it yourself."
"..."
"There are so many people. It's really troublesome to wait for me here."
Seeing him walking towards the shop, Chu Miaoer immediately turned around, holding her skirt in both hands and running quickly towards the figure.
You have to hurry up before Fu Yunqi finds out.
"Stay!"
Chu Miaoer whispered.
The woman was obviously frightened by this sound. She turned around suddenly, subconsciously holding the veil with her flawless hands, and her eyes were filled with fear.
"Second sister?!"
The breeze rolled up her veil, and Chu Miaoer finally saw her face clearly.
When I see her again, she is still stunningly beautiful, her eyes are moving, and she is charming to all living beings.
"Who did you come to Xiling with? Don't tell me you came by yourself."
Chu Xianxue's long eyelashes flickered and she frowned slightly. She was a little anxious but did not respond.
Seeing that Chu Xianxue hesitated to speak, she knew that she was meddling in her own business, so she didn't want to pursue it any further and was about to turn around and leave.
"Second sister!"
After Chu Xianxue hesitated again and again, she mustered up the courage to hold Chu Miao'er who turned around.
She said hurriedly: "Yes, it's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He said that the Shangsi Festival in Xiling is unmatched by Kyoto, so he brought me here to play."
"What about others?"
"The emperor asked him to return to the city for a banquet. Didn't the second sister see him?"
Naturally, I saw him and sat there happily.
Seeing her nodding, Chu Xianxue continued: "He asked me to wait here and take me back to Kyoto."
"...you already?"
At first glance, Chu Xianxue was so frightened by her question that her facial muscles tensed up. Then her head began to shake rapidly, the hosta in her bun shook violently, and her voice was slightly hoarse and nervous.
"No, no! Although Xue'er and His Highness the Crown Prince are in love, there is no physical relationship. The second sister must not secretly guess!"
Chu Miaoer reached out and brushed away her fingers that were pinching his sleeve. His expression was the same as before, still calm and indifferent.
"The second sister must keep it a secret for me. If the eldest sister and father find out, they will think more about it!"
The beauty is indeed a beauty, even the frightened one looks so beautiful.
When she heard this, she just nodded slightly and said calmly: "I don't like to meddle in other people's business the most in my life. I just want to advise you, don't let the Empress and Master Chu's intentions for you go to waste."
After saying that, he didn't care whether she could understand or not, and turned around to look for Fu Yunqi.
After running for a few steps, Chu Miaoer saw him at a glance.
Among such a chaotic crowd in the market, her naturally noble and elegant temperament stood out. Chu Miaoer couldn't help but stop and take a few more glances.
?Holding a candy man in his hand?
Chu Miaoer couldn't help covering her mouth and laughed, her eyes like bright moons. She watched him walking towards her, and when she got closer, she realized that he had a very solemn look on his face, and he put the candy man into her hand with displeasure.
Seeing this, Chu Miaoer just thought that he was unhappy because she ran around and kept him waiting for a long time.
She looked at him and explained seriously: "I just wanted to see if there were any novel objects over there, so I couldn't help but go over and take a closer look."
Fu Yunchi let out a slight "hmm" from his nose, ignored her, and walked away.
"Fourth Master?"
He didn't respond to my calls several times, and he didn't even look at the novel items he shared with me.
Too bad, are you angry?
After thinking about it, I decided to tell the truth. It was a family matter and there was nothing wrong with it.
Gently pulling off his neat sleeves, Chu Miao'er pulled him to a place with fewer people, cleared his throat and said, "I just saw Chu Xianxue, so I followed him."
Fu Yunqi finally glanced down at her, but his expression was still unhappy.
"She came with the prince. At first I was wondering that she didn't want to be a good fourth princess and only wanted to marry the one she liked. Unexpectedly," Chu Miao'er sneered: "She has high standards."
"The prince is well-read in poetry and books, and he is honest and kind. He should not be someone who only cares about superficial appearance."
"..."
Does this mean that Chu Xianxue has nothing but skin and no brains?
Looking up and seeing his clear jawline, Chu Miaoer thought to herself: This man is really damaged.
"Since she can get away for herself and push you out to replace her, you don't have to worry about the situation of the sisters at all. Besides," Fu Yunqi said slowly with a deep expression, "Besides, if she becomes the Crown Princess, she will be more powerful in the Chu Mansion.
The Duke's position in the court will be more stable."
After hearing this, Chu Miaoer felt that what he said was very reasonable, and she would not pursue the matter further, treating it as a minor incident.
At this time, Fu Yunqi's steps were brisk, and he would look sideways at the woman beside him from time to time. His previous gloomy look was gone, the corners of his mouth were raised, and his eyes were particularly gentle.
Tingfeng had already investigated clearly what happened between Chu Xianxue and the prince. That day at Yunwu Villa, when he heard the queen say that Chu Xianxue was missing, he wondered if she would suspect that he was abducted by him. Fortunately, she was still alive.
A little sober.
Although he had known for a long time that her relationship with the Chu family was weak, Fu Yunchi still did not dare to take risks. Just now he recognized Chu Xianxue at a glance and felt unhappy when she saw her pushing him away.
If she deliberately hid it from herself, it would mean that she was at odds with the Chu Mansion on the surface, but in reality she was being used by the Chu Mansion and working for the Duke of Chu. If she could be honest with herself, she would really have nothing to do with the Duke of Chu.
The bet he made on her paid off.
"Fourth Master, what are you doing here?"
Chu Miaoer let him lead her to the door of the shop. She looked up at the exquisite plaque and couldn't guess what he was bringing her here for. Aren't the royal clothes exquisite enough? She still wanted to experience the experience of ordinary people.
clothing to wear?
"If you're in a good mood, I'll treat you to whatever you want."
"...No, I quite like my clothes."
The shopkeeper was also a shrewd man. He glanced at the two of them and saw that they were dressed in low-key and luxurious clothes and had extraordinary bearings. He knew at a glance that they were either rich or noble. He came forward to greet them with a flattering smile, nodded and bowed.
"I wonder what you two nobles want to see?"
Fu Yunqi obviously didn't want to talk to him anymore and stood with his hands behind his back.
"My wife can't think of what to buy at the moment, so pack up all the new arrivals," he looked at Chu Miao'er with a smile and said, "When we go back, we can choose slowly."
The shopkeeper was obviously taken aback by the rich and powerful tone. There were many rich and powerful people in Xiling. This was the first time in his entire life that he had seen such a person.
"this……"
Seeing the embarrassed look on the shopkeeper's face, Chu Miao'er sighed and looked around. She was really shocked by the dazzling array of fabrics in the shop, with no less than a hundred colors. The largest clothing store in Dongling only had dozens of colors.
She slowly stretched out her hand and felt the touch of the fabric with her fingertips. She did not expect that this clothing store in Xiling could be comparable to the palace clothing.
"I want this."
When the shopkeeper saw it, he smiled so hard that his eyes turned into deep folds, and he quickly said: "Madam, you have really good taste. This is the newly arrived Yun brocade in our store. Just like your temperament, it is low-key and elegant, but at first glance, you can tell that you are a member of the aristocracy!"
By the way! It just so happens that our store has made a ready-made garment, can I give it to you, madam, to try on?"
Chu Miaoer was delighted and nodded in agreement.
Seeing the finished product, such an elegant fabric was made into a pale white folded flower and moonflower skirt, which showed an extraordinary temperament. The shopkeeper also has a good sense of aesthetics.
Chu Miaoer was led into the "fitting room" by the maids in the store, and allowed them to take off her clothes.
"Do you have mine?"
The shopkeeper was stunned for a long time when he was asked. He didn't react for a long time and asked stupidly: "You mean?"
Fu Yunqi coughed slightly, feeling a little embarrassed.
"It's the same style as Madam, is it available?"
The shopkeeper understood now and immediately responded: "Yes, yes."
"I want the same kind of fabric."
"Master, please wait a moment."
The shopkeeper quickly picked up a piece of ready-made clothing and presented it with both hands, smiling from ear to ear.
Looking at the clothes in the shopkeeper's hands, Fu Yunchi curled his lips quietly and followed the waiter slowly into another "fitting room".
When Chu Miaoer came out, she happened to meet Fu Yunqi coming out of the back room. The shopkeeper was diligently helping him adjust his waistband. When their eyes met, both of them were amazed.
Ancient couple costumes? He is really scheming.
"Ouch! This dress is as if it was tailor-made for Madam. Madam is originally stunning, but now she is even more like a fairy from heaven! I need to watch Madam more closely. If someone looks at her with such a beautiful face,
Let’s go…”
Chu Miaoer was dumbfounded by what he said and quickly interrupted him.
"Okay, shopkeeper, wrap it up."
The shopkeeper's mouth felt as if it had been smeared with honey, and his fingers were nimbly playing with the abacus. He was fooling around and settling accounts without missing a moment. He deserved the prosperous business of the shop.
"Put this on too."
Fu Yunqi pointed to a pair of exquisite white jade earrings. The earrings were inlaid with gold and the hollows were carved with magnolia petals. They were small and delicate, and really complemented the moonflower skirt.
"That's great, Master!"
The shopkeeper was so happy that he quickly fiddled with the beads in his hand and told the waiter to pack them carefully.
Seeing that he could not stop it, Chu Miaoer said softly, "Fourth Master, there are too many jewelry in the house."
"You bought a hosta for Miss Huyin, so you must buy a pair of earrings for yourself to look good," Fu Yunchi joked, "This is the first time I've seen you with too much jewelry."
Chu Miao'er was left speechless, and then she thought: You don't have to pay for it yourself. If you want to do something in the future, you can exchange it for silver. It can also be regarded as your own little treasury.
"Master, the total is three hundred and eighty taels of silver."
Ordinary people in the Kingdom of Jin only earn eighty taels of hard work throughout the year. When she was a young lady in the Chu Mansion, her monthly income was only twenty two taels. When she became a princess, she only earned fifty taels. This shopkeeper is clearly
Seeing their lavish spending, they slaughtered them like lambs.
Fu Yunqi took off the jade pendant from his waist and placed it on the counter. His movements were smooth and elegant, with a sense of nobility.
"Someone will pick it up later."
When he first saw this thing, the shopkeeper suppressed the shock in his heart and responded quickly: "I know, Master!"
The shopkeeper quickly picked up the jade pendant and looked at it carefully.
This is a white jade round carving of the Pisces jade pendant, which is extremely rare. Even the fish eyes, gills and pelvic fins are all carved lifelike. How can such delicate things be owned by ordinary people?
