After lying down for a while, Qi Yunxiao, still in high spirits, turned over and asked, "Wife, shall we do it again?"

Shen Qingyu silently pinched a bit of skin on his waist and twisted it ninety degrees.

Qi Yunxiao grimaced and let out a muffled groan.

Shen Qingyu: "..."

There are people outside!

This guy has absolutely no shame!

Qi Yunxiao threatened in a low voice, "If you don't give it to me, I'll shout..."

Shen Qingyu: "..."

After daybreak, the boxes were all intact. The guards loaded them onto the cart, and Shen Qingyu simply didn't bother to return them.

Since I'll only open the box when I need it anyway, I might as well just carry the stones and keep going for safety's sake.

Chen San was still worried and looked at Qi Yunxiao: "Sir, should we check it?"

Qi Yunxiao said calmly, "No need, let's just go."

So the carriage set off again.

Two days later, the carriage entered the capital of Xia.

The Xia Kingdom's king, who was in his thirties, received Qi Yunxiao, but Shen Qingyu did not participate at all.

She went shopping with a princess who had been arranged by the King of Xia to receive her.

Shen Qingyu was very curious about the things that Daqi didn't have, and enthusiastically touched them all.

Seeing how unsophisticated Princess Qingyu of Daqi seemed, Princess Handan couldn't help but look down on her, so she asked again, "Princess Qingyu, now that you've looked at the fabrics, would you like to look at anything else?"

Shen Qingyu nodded: "Of course I want to see the face powder, spices, and jewelry."

Okay, women will like these things, so let's go.

Xia Kingdom is located by the sea, and among the jewelry and precious stones here, pearls are much cheaper than in Daqi, while various gemstones are much more expensive.

Shen Qingyu touched all the exquisite pearl jewelry pieces, once again displaying her "naive and unsophisticated" demeanor.

After looking at pearl jewelry, Shen Qingyu bought a few items, then went to look at face powder and perfumes...

After half a day of shopping, Princess Handan's legs were about to give out, and Shen Qingyu had also bought quite a few things.

After getting tired of shopping, the two went to a restaurant, where all kinds of seafood and prawns were served in a continuous stream.

Shen Qingyu reached for the plate again...

Hearing the notification sounds from the virtual store, Shen Qingyu felt very satisfied: she could eat seafood again when she went back.

No, I need to go to the seafood market later and add some seafood ingredients to the online store.

Princess Handan: "...Princess Qingyu, why don't we rest for a while? I'm really..."

My legs are all swollen!

Shen Qingyu then suddenly realized, "Then why don't you rest first, Princess, and I'll go with the guards?"

With her body transformed by the spiritual spring water, how could her stamina compare to that of a young lady from a noble family?

Princess Han Dan: "..."

He was ordered to accompany them, but he backed down first. If His Majesty blames him, how embarrassing will that be?

Princess Handan gritted her teeth: "Princess Qingyu, please wait a moment, I'll find someone else to keep you company."

The next girl arrived, dressed in a neat, narrow-sleeved riding outfit, a whip in her hand. As soon as she entered, she shouted, "Handan, what did you call me here for?"

Princess Handan's eyes lit up, as if she had seen a savior: "Jiaoyue, come quickly! You're strong, you can accompany Princess Qingyu for a stroll..."

Then Princess Handan began to introduce the two parties.

When Li Jiaoyue learned that the extremely beautiful and alluring woman in front of her was actually the wife of the Vice Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies of the Great Qi Dynasty, she was also very surprised: "Princess Qingyu, you are so beautiful!"

Shen Qingyu had little resistance to girls with such straightforward personalities, and immediately smiled.

"You are very beautiful too."

Seeing her reminded me of Yuqiao. It's a pity that Yuqiao is pregnant, and the Qian family keeps a close watch on her, not letting her out. I haven't seen her for quite some time.

Princess Handan finally got rid of Shen Qingyu and watched Li Jiaoyue and Shen Qingyu leave the restaurant with a relaxed expression.

The maid looked at her with concern and asked her to take off her shoes and socks so she could see them.

As a result, after taking off my shoes and socks, I actually got two or three blisters!

The maid was dumbfounded: How could this Princess Qingyu walk so fast? Could she be from a military family, like Miss Li, who also practices martial arts?

Princess Handan looked at the three blisters on her delicate feet, feeling both pain and heartache. She couldn't help but grit her teeth and say, "This country bumpkin can really walk!"

"Huh?" The maid was taken aback.

The handsome Vice Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies of the Great Qi Dynasty actually married a country woman.

What... what's going on?

Princess Handan glared at the maid: "What 'ah'? Although she is the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Wei's mansion in the Great Qi Kingdom, she grew up in the countryside since she was a child. No wonder she has a pair of iron feet and looks like she has never seen the world before!"

"Ah?" the maid exclaimed again.

Princess Handan was successfully amused by the maid's expression and chuckled, "You're surprised too, aren't you? So, one's background really doesn't determine one's temperament. Did you see how petty she was today? She even had to touch a plate of fish!"

Shen Qingyu was already at the fish market at this time.

Because it's not far from the sea, the fish market here has a lot of live seafood, as well as some dead but still relatively fresh sea fish.

Shen Qingyu even saw a large, golden yellow croaker.

She once again demonstrated her principle of not missing anything she passed by, and touched them all.

Fish, shrimp, shellfish, kelp, seaweed...

You can't miss any of them!

Li Jiaoyue assumed that Shen Qingyu was from the inland and had never seen these things from the sea, so she enthusiastically introduced them to her.

Shen Qingyu gave a perfunctory reply while her hands kept moving, and soon she had touched them all.

When several enormous hawksbill turtle shells appeared before her eyes, Shen Qingyu was stunned!
