Chen Jingxi took his men out of the palace early in the morning. The day after tomorrow was Chu Jinghuai's birthday. Because Concubine Chen died on the day he was born, he had not celebrated his birthday in all these years.

Chen Jingxi wanted to give him a special birthday. After making up her mind, she took Chunmei and Hanyu to the busiest street market in the capital.

Walking on the bustling streets and visiting several stores without finding anything suitable, Chen Jingxi couldn't help feeling distressed. She didn't know what gift to give.

Chunmei saw Chen Jingxi's distressed look and asked, "Princess, what do you want to buy?"

Chen Jingxi hesitated for a moment before saying, "I want to buy a birthday present for Chu Jinghuai."

Chunmei laughed and said, "Princess, do you really need to run around looking for gifts for the prince? There's nothing we don't have in the palace's storehouse!"

Chen Jingxi shook her head slightly. "Those things in the warehouse could be gifts, but they lack the thoughtfulness. And this is my first birthday celebration for him, so I have to prepare well."

As they were talking, Chen Jingxi suddenly saw a shop not far ahead. There was a sign hanging at the door that read "Ruyifang". She was moved and pulled the two of them inside.

The dazzling array of goods in the store was dazzling. Chen Jingxi carefully selected them and finally her eyes fell on a jade bracelet.

The bracelet was emerald green all over and transparent in color, and it was obvious that it was worth a lot of money.

Chen Jingxi picked up the jade bracelet and put it on her wrist. She looked at it and was very satisfied.

"Shopkeeper, how much is this bracelet?"

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper stepped forward, his face beaming with joy. "Madam, you have excellent taste. This bracelet is called the 'Exquisite Jade Bracelet' and is the most valuable asset in our shop. It's worth six thousand five hundred taels."

Chen Jingxi nodded and was about to tell Chunmei to pay when she suddenly heard a shout from behind her: "Princess Su!"

Chen Jingxi turned around and looked, and the smile on her face faded a little in an instant.

Ye Nandie seemed unaware of Chen Jingxi's change, and continued to smile: "What a coincidence! I didn't expect to meet the princess here."

She looked around and asked, "Princess, are you alone?"

Chen Jingxi put on a smile and said, "Chunmei, Hanyu, I'm here to meet Madam Ouyang."

"Greetings, Madam Ouyang." Was Madam Ouyang blind? Didn't she see that there were two living people standing next to the princess?

Ye Nandie simply ignored them both, "Princess, are you going to buy a bracelet?"

Chen Jingxi didn't reply to her.

Ye Nandie turned to Shopkeeper Bai and said, "Shopkeeper Bai, this is Princess Su."

Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Bai hurriedly bowed and said, "I was blind and didn't recognize Mount Tai. I beg Princess Su to forgive me."

Chen Jingxi smiled: "No problem."

Ye Nandie continued, "Shopkeeper Bai, this bracelet will be registered in my name."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Thank you, Madam Ouyang."

"It's just a bracelet. This Ruyifang is the property of my Ouyang family. If Princess Su needs anything else, please feel free to choose."

Without saying a word, Chen Jingxi pointed at the glittering gold, silver and jewelry on the counter and said, "Boss, please pack all these for me."

Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Bai looked at Ye Nandie in surprise. Ye Nandie looked calm and nodded, saying, "Just do as Princess Su said and wrap them up."

Chen Jingxi chuckled inwardly, thinking it was a jerk not to take advantage of a bargain. "Please pack it up, boss. I'll send someone to pick it up later."

Shopkeeper Bai was speechless. How could Princess Su have the nerve to take so many things for free? This was the first time he had seen such a shameless person.

Chen Jingxi said with a forced smile, "Thank you Madam Ouyang for your generosity today. We'll meet again another day. Goodbye."

Ye Nandie quickly said, "Wait a minute, it's rare for the princess to visit, could you please do me the honor of having a cup of tea?"

Chen Jingxi thought to himself, what is Ye Nandie up to? She is giving away gold and silver jewelry and inviting him to drink tea.

Well, considering she spent so much money on me, I will listen to what she has to say. "In that case, Madam Ouyang, please come in."

The two of them sat down in the private room, and Ye Nandie ordered the servants to serve the best tea.

"I wonder how Princess Su has time to come shopping today?" Ye Nandie asked first.

"I felt bored at home, so I came out for a walk." Chen Jingxi took a sip of tea and answered with a smile.

Ye Nandie smiled slightly, "Princess, you are in such a good mood. Speaking of which, Jing Huai was deprived of his military power because of you. I'm sure you don't know what this means to him."

"Mrs. Ouyang is trying to tell me that I am more important than his military power, right?"

Ye Nandie choked with anger. She didn't expect Chen Jingxi to say that. "You don't understand him at all."

Chen Jingxi didn't bother thinking about it, "Yes, yes, yes."

"You have no right to stand beside him."

"Yes, yes, yes."

"I am the one who loves him the most."

"Yes, yes, yes."

Seeing Chen Jingxi's agreement, Ye Nandie's tone became sharp, "If you know what's good for you, leave him quickly."

"I don't agree with what you said. Why should I leave him? Why shouldn't I be the Princess Su? Why should I give up this noble status? As long as I am the Princess Su, I can enjoy wealth and glory. Such a life is wonderful."

Ye Nandie looked at her with a hint of disdain in her eyes. It turned out that she was reluctant to give up the wealth and splendor of Prince Su's Mansion.

As long as the problem can be solved with money, it is not a problem. Now, besides money, she still cares about money.

So, she said coldly: "Tell me, what do you want in order to leave Jing Huai?"

Chen Jingxi smiled secretly in his heart. The famous scene is coming, right? The sponsor who will spend the money is here, right?

The more Chen Jingxi thought about it, the happier she became, and she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Ye Nandie looked at her somewhat crazy smile and frowned: "What are you laughing at?"

Chen Jingxi waved her hand: "Sorry, I just thought of something funny."

Ye Nandie immediately asked, "What's the matter?"

Chen Jingxi said, "When I was little, I often imagined a domineering young man falling in love with me. His parents disagreed, and in order to get me to leave him, his mother asked me to make conditions. At that time, I thought, if I asked for a mountain of gold and silver, would they be able to give it to me?"

After saying this, she laughed again, as if she was recalling that beautiful fantasy.

Ye Nandie: “???” So she is that woman?

"But now it seems, Madam Ouyang, that you can help me realize my childhood dream."

Ye Nandie's expression changed slightly. She didn't want to be Chu Jinghuai's mother. "You...what do you mean?"

"My meaning is very simple, Madam Ouyang, if you really want me to leave Chu Jinghuai, then it depends on your sincerity."

Ye Nandie's heart sank. She knew that the woman in front of her was far more complicated than she had imagined. She took a deep breath and tried to remain calm. "What do you want?"

Chen Jingxi smiled lightly, a sly glint in her eyes. "Mrs. Ouyang should know the answer to this question better than I do."
