It was obviously none of Li Yu's business, and it could even be said that he was also a victim, but he saw that the responsibility was on himself. His broad-mindedness was evident, and Concubine Xian couldn't help but secretly praise him.
"That imperial sister of yours." Concubine Xian shook her head and sighed, "You treat her as your sister, but she treats you as your enemy. Fortunately, God has eyes and the emperor is wise."
"The imperial concubine is right, God is watching what you do. It's getting late. I'll go talk to the eldest brother another day."
"Okay, brothers just need to move around more."
Li Yu stepped aside: "Your Majesty, please."
"Your Highness, please."
The two looked at each other and smiled before parting ways.
Looking at Concubine Xian's back, Li Yu thought to himself, when it comes to what happened in the palace, the one who knew the most was Concubine Xian. She was his father's first woman, and she was his old friend when he was still the prince.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in Li Yu's mind. In fact, there was someone who knew more than Concubine Xian, and he almost forgot about him.
With an idea in mind, Li Yu turned around and walked towards Yongtai Palace.
The next day, Ruan Mianmian got up and heard that Zhou Yuning had gone to the embroidery workshop. She said that she had never been to the embroidery workshop since it opened.
With nothing to do, Ruan Mianmian took Jiu'er out of the house, thinking of having a casual stroll and then going to the embroidery workshop to find her mother before returning to the house together.
After walking around a lot on the street, Ruan Mianmian bought a windmill and held it in her hands. The cold winter wind was blowing, and the windmill in her hand was spinning around, which made the little breast dumpling very happy.
Jiu'er and Ruan Mianmian were next to her, watching her waving the windmill in her hand and blowing it clumsily with her mouth from time to time. Seeing her childlike innocence, she couldn't help but feel happy.
Ruan Mianmian walked into Guining Embroidery Shop with a giggle. She felt something was wrong as soon as she entered the door.
The laughter stopped suddenly, and Jiu'er, who was following Ruan Mianmian, opened his eyes wide.
Zhou Yunning retreated to the side in panic, and the store clerk huddled in a corner to protect her.
At this moment, there was a little girl with her back to the door, pulling hard on the wedding dress hanging on the rack. Next to her were several maids, and four guards with swords drawn.
"Stop!" Ruan Mianmian roared.
The girl let go of her hand and turned around sharply. It turned out to be Li Minghui. Ruan Mianmian frowned. It was really a narrow road for enemies to meet, and they met someone they didn't want to meet so quickly.
"You little doll looks familiar." Princess Minghui looked at Ruan Mianmian and quickly remembered, "You are the little doll who was on the second floor of the teahouse when I came to Beijing yesterday."
"Yes, it's me." Ruan Mianmian said calmly, "Princess Minghui, what are you doing?"
Li Minghui did not answer, but the maid next to her shouted: "How dare you not kneel down when you see the princess, but you dare to speak rudely, you are so rude."
"Bold!" Jiu'er shouted sharply, the sound so loud that it made people's ears buzz.
Ruan Mianmian was very satisfied. Sister Jiuer's momentum immediately suppressed her.
"My princess will not kneel down when she sees the Holy Master. Who has the dignity to accept her kneeling down?" Jiu'er said coldly.
Hearing this, the maid next to Princess Minghui couldn't help but turn pale. Apparently she didn't expect that such a little baby was actually a princess, and she was a princess who could meet the emperor without kneeling.
The princess who refuses to kneel before driving? Li Minghui quickly realized: "You are Ruan Mianmian."
"Yes, I am Ruan Mianmian." Ruan Mianmian's face was full of sarcasm, "Is Princess Minghui getting married? If you like something, I can give you one."
"These are wedding clothes." Li Minghui was stunned for a moment.
Immediately, Li Minghui pulled off the wedding dress from the shelf, took it in her hand and looked at it carefully before throwing it to the ground.
Zhou Yunning and the waiters in the store couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise, but Li Minghui deliberately raised her foot and stepped on it twice. When she stepped away, there were two black footprints on the red wedding dress on the ground.
Staring at Ruan Mianmian arrogantly, Li Minghui looked sarcastic and completely provocative.
Ruan Mianmian said neither humble nor overbearing: "Fifty thousand taels, I wonder if Princess Minghui will give you cash or banknotes?"
"What fifty thousand taels?" Li Minghui looked confused.
"The wedding dress you are wearing is fifty thousand taels." Ruan Mianmian pointed.
"Just fifty thousand taels for this rag?" Li Minghui put her hands on her waist, "Ruan Mianmian, do you think I'm easy to bully?"
"Shopkeeper, tell this princess from southern Xinjiang how much silver is this wedding dress worth?"
Zhou Yunning saw Jiu'er behind Ruan Mianmian winking at her, and she walked out steadily.
After taking a deep breath, Zhou Yunning said: "Yes, the original price of this wedding dress was fifty-eight thousand taels. Considering that the princess came all the way, the embroidery shop charged fifty thousand taels without making any profit.
Bar."
"This is a shady store. Come on, please confiscate this store." Li Minghui blurted out in anger.
Li Minghui gave the order, and just as the four guards were about to take action, Jiu'er's figure was as fast as lightning.
A pair of four and nine children did not take each other to heart at all. With just a few moves, the four guards fell to the ground. The four maids were so frightened that they huddled together to protect Li Minghui.
"You are useless." Li Minghui glared at Jiu'er angrily and then turned to Ruan Mianmian, "What do you want?"
"Not so good? Give me money." Ruan Mianmian said with a smile: "Princess Minghui may have forgotten that this is the capital, not southern Xinjiang."
Li Minghui's heart skipped a beat. Her father had warned her not to cause trouble when she came to Beijing this time. What she said at that time was exactly what Ruan Mianmian said at this moment: "The capital city is not as good as southern Xinjiang."
"Ruan Mianmian, you are using your power to bully others. You are running a black shop. There are no clothes in the world that cost fifty thousand taels of silver."
"Princess Minghui is ignorant. Go and ask, who doesn't know that the wedding dresses in this embroidery shop are all custom-made, and each piece is unique. Fifty thousand taels of silver is not expensive, and there are even more expensive ones.
"
"It's just a piece of clothing. Even if it looks better, it's definitely not worth fifty thousand taels of silver. Stop bluffing me, I don't believe it."
"If you look at the gold and silver threads used in embroidery, they are all made of real gold and silver. Moreover, if you look at the superb embroidery skills, it would take a group of embroiderers working day and night to complete such a piece."
This one is cheaper, and it only has a few gems inlaid with it. If it had more gems inlaid, it would be much more than this price."
Zhou Yunning lowered her head slightly to hide her uneasiness. Ruan Mianmian said that this wedding dress was too high, and it was obvious that she was trying to fool Princess Minghui. However, the gold and silver threads were not fake, and the inlaid gems were also fake.
Li Minghui was attracted by the exquisite embroidery on the wedding dress. She knew that the dress must be valuable, but she never expected it to be so expensive.
Seeing Li Minghui's expression changing again and again, Ruan Mianmian raised her voice: "Does Princess Minghui want to default on her debt?"
"Hey, Ruan Mianmian, why are you meddling in the matter between me and the shopkeeper of the embroidery shop?" Li Minghui finally came to his senses.
