"The market is open today, new comics are out!"
"Comics? What are comics?"
"You wouldn't know, would you? Miss Hu's storybooks always sell out!"

Chapter 84: Evil Smile
The eldest princess was slapped in the face in public and was so angry that she was fuming, but she had to pretend to be proud on the surface.
She walked over proudly and stopped Mu Qing: "Just because you caught my attention, you want to leave? It's not that easy."
Hu Xiner complained silently in her heart, who wants to get your attention?
Mu Qing said calmly, "Excuse me, young lady, what can I do for you?"
The eldest princess waved her hand and said, "Come here, bring the things over!"
In the blink of an eye, several large boxes were neatly put away.
Xiaolan also put on a proud yet arrogant smile, and stretched out her slender hand. As a maid in the princess's mansion, she ignored the words and expressions on his face.
With such fair and delicate hands, some people would believe that they belonged to a rich lady.
She opened the first box and said, "This is a thousand taels of gold. It's pocket money for Master Lu."
"Wow!" The onlookers were immediately dazzled by the golden light.
One tael of gold is equal to ten taels of silver, which means there are a full ten thousand taels of silver here!
Enough for everyone present to have food and clothing for generations to come!
However, these are just pocket money given by the eldest princess to Mu Qing!
Apart from exclamations, no one spoke, because they were all shocked by the financial resources and speechless!
And they all thought that with just these ten thousand taels of silver, Boss Hu would lose completely!
However, when such a large sum of money was given away, not only did the eldest princess not blink an eye, Xiaolan didn't even pause and opened the second box nonchalantly.
"This is a box of jewels for the eldest son to wear on a daily basis!"
Every piece of jewelry in the box is worthy of being regarded as a family heirloom!
"The first box contains calligraphy and paintings. Our eldest princess said that Mr. Lu is a man of elegance and refinement. These calligraphy and paintings are all works by famous artists and are priceless."
Xiaolan looked at everyone present. In the eyes of the onlookers, her arrogant attitude was no longer as annoying as before, but rather the confidence of a rich woman!
Although she was just a maidservant beside the eldest princess, the precious items she handled were far more than what these common people would see in their entire lives combined.
This is the royal family. Even a dog of the royal family is a hundred times more noble than a commoner.
Seeing everyone gasping in shock, the eldest princess regained her pride.
She chuckled softly: "Lu Yunjue, as long as you follow me, all these are just a drop in the bucket."
"What...what do you mean?" Hu Xiner swallowed and admitted that she was also dazzled by these things.
"Hu Xin'er, I admit that you are a woman with great vision, but I'm sorry, the person you met was me, the eldest princess."
The princess looked at Mu Qing and said in a tone of a domineering CEO: "Being my man is an honor for all men in the world."
Hu Xiner silently opened her hands, trying to protect her handsome husband.
Mu Qing shook her head: "Princess, I don't know who Lu Yunjue you are talking about, and I am already married."
"Don't try to play tricks in front of me. Tell me, will you come with me right away or come to my room tonight?" The eldest princess had an expression that said, "I see through you, man."
Mu Qing was completely unmoved and said coldly, "You've got the wrong person."
The eldest princess's domineering expression froze on her face.
The maid Xiaolan watched the two walk away and stamped her feet in anger: "Princess, these two are really too presumptuous. Should we teach them a lesson?"
"Oh, no need." The princess curled her lips in a devilish smile, "It's getting more and more interesting."
"Hmph! The Princess is such a good person, yet that Lu Yunjue dares to put on airs. He's truly blind!" Xiao Lan said angrily, "I feel so sorry for you."
The eldest princess gave Xiaolan a wicked look that made her blush and lower her head: "I'm sorry, Princess. I've been willful again."
"I can tolerate your little willfulness." The princess said, and then looked in the direction where Mu Qing left.
Just as Xiaolan said, no one can resist such an outstanding and domineering woman like her. Lu Yunjue just doesn't want to admit that he has fallen in love with her uncontrollably.
Oh, sooner or later, Lu Yunjue and his young lady will discover her good qualities and go back to the palace with her obediently.
As they walked along the street, Hu Xin'er complained helplessly, "How did you end up provoking such a person?"
"Who made me look like Lu Yunjue?" Mu Qing said calmly, "My lady, please don't wrongly accuse me. I only provoked you."
"You're so smooth-talking." Hu Xin'er said angrily.
When they got home, they sat down at the table and just started eating when the eldest princess swaggered in.
Xiaolan followed closely behind, her eyes darting around as she surveyed the courtyard. "This place is so small and shabby, it's completely devoid of any charm. It's simply tacky!"
Wow, they both followed me!
Hu Xin'er put down her chopsticks: "Princess, what are you doing here?"
"All under heaven belongs to the king. Can't I come here?" The eldest princess stared at Mu Qing and answered casually.
"This is our home, please get out right now!" Hu Xin'er refused to listen to her words, "Otherwise I'll kick you out."
Unexpectedly, the eldest princess ignored her directly, walked to the table and sat down. Xiaolan also snorted at her proudly.
"Is this the dish you cooked?" The eldest princess looked at Mu Qing. "Man, how many surprises do you have that I don't know about?"
Mu Qing was as cold as ice: "Whether it is or not, it is not for you to eat."
"Naughty." The eldest princess raised her index finger. "Don't challenge my self-control, which I am so proud of."
Xiaolan quickly picked up some food for the eldest princess: "Princess, this is your favorite eggplant. Master Lu is really thoughtful."
Hu Xin'er and Mu Qing looked at each other, and surprisingly, neither of them had anything to say.
The princess took a bite of the eggplant and immediately praised Mu Qing without reservation: "Lu Yunjue, I didn't expect your cooking to be so delicious! You fled to this remote village just to learn, why are you cooking for me?"
Xiaolan immediately agreed: "Mr. Lu, don't be angry with the princess anymore. She has lowered herself to coax you."
Mu Qing clenched his fists: "Please be careful with your words!"
This man was prone to throwing tantrums, and the princess was no longer surprised by it. She assumed in her heart that this was just Mu Qing's shy behavior.
In her heart, the people pursuing her line up from the Forbidden City to the frontier, and no man can resist her charm.
She looked at Mu Qing deeply: "I have understood your intention."
Just as Mu Qing was about to speak, she extended her index finger again: "Shh!"
She took a sip of the soup and said, "This winter melon soup is exactly the same as the one made by the imperial chef in the palace."
Hu Xiner couldn't stand it any longer and said, "Princess, this is loofah soup."
The eldest princess ate another bite of meat silently: "This bowl of stir-fried lamb has a unique flavor!"
Hu Xin'er's face darkened: "This is pork."
She didn't know the difference between grains, but she insisted on showing off in front of Mu Qing, causing a lot of jokes during the meal.
