Why would the masters who can send large sums of money to Tianwu Capital care about these few taels of silver?

After eating until their mouths were full of oil, they started to visit Tianwu's clothing, jewelry, cosmetics shops, and teahouses of all sizes.

Only when they actually entered the shop did they realize that all the Tianwu goods that had amazed them when they had seen them in Tianlang Capital before were now out of season here!

Look, this green leaf fabric is not available in Tianlang.

And this skirt with big red flowers was something Tianlang had never seen before.

As for the various shaped powders and lip glosses that are exquisitely packaged in petal-shaped porcelain boxes, Sirius has not yet launched them on the market.

The shopkeeper smiled sweetly: "These are the latest styles and colors. Do you like any of them?"

The young ladies from Tianlang's noble families nodded like chickens pecking at rice: "I like it! I like them all... pack them all for me!"

There were also young ladies from aristocratic families who thought about the day when they would return to Tianlang: "How long will it take for the new styles to be supplied to Tianlang's shop?"

The shopkeeper said immediately: "The stores in Tianwu Capital will put the products on the shelves for a month before distributing them to the towns in Tianwu."

"What about Sirius? How long will it take?"

"After the goods have been distributed in Tianwu Town for a month, a portion of them will be supplied to neighboring countries such as Tianlang, Nan'an and Tatar..."

The shopkeeper was full of pride when he said this.

There were some merchants in Tianwu Capital who often traveled outside, specializing in the purchasing business of cosmetics, jewelry, and clothing, and they made a lot of money.

This was impossible in the past!

When Tianlang's wives and daughters heard this, they were all disappointed: Tianlang had to wait two months to see the same beautiful new material?

They want to have it right now!

After suffering a great deal of stimulation, the lady took the young masters and ladies home and finally started to think about serious matters.

Now that we are here, the next thing we should do is to follow the original plan and find out about the situation in Tianwu Capital, the situation in Yingchun Academy, and determine the issue of children's schooling.

After being baptized by the food street and exquisite jewelry and clothing, the children were conquered by the prosperity of this place and expressed their willingness to study (live) in Yingchun Academy (which they had not even seen its shadow).

The ladies from the noble families also wanted to stay here, but they knew that it was impossible.

Their husbands are still in Tianlang. If they dare not go back for a long time, they will have no place at home when they go back.

However, thinking back to the bustling and prosperous Tianwu capital city they had seen during the hundred days, the ladies secretly decided that they must try their best to keep the children in Tianwu capital city.

Let them also feel how the young masters and young ladies of Tianwu's noble families live...

Hearing that Tianwu did not have the custom of "the younger brother inherits the wife after the elder brother's death, and the son inherits the wife after the father's death", they also wanted their son and daughter to have a good marriage and live a good life in the future.

The eldest princess has also returned. Once she is settled, I will go visit her and ask about the latest situation here...

But they don't know that their wishes are likely to be dashed.

Because as soon as Qi Rongrong entered the capital, she was sent to her former home.

The house that had once been emptied (sold) was now covered with soft and comfortable bedding and cushions, but all the ornaments were gone.

Qi Rongrong stared at the empty Duobao Pavilion in a daze.

The person who was ordered to come out and settle the Grand Princess was Fu Chenan's personal guard.

"His Royal Highness said that the eldest princess brought back many rare treasures, and they are afraid that there is not enough space for them, so I will not bring those crude things to pollute your eyes..."

Qi Rongrong's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly smiled: "It's okay, I'm just tired from the journey..."

"…His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is busy with official duties, so please ask Your Royal Highness the Grand Princess to settle down first. The Crown Prince will come to see you when he is done…"

The maids helped to pack up the things skillfully, but Qi Rongrong suddenly found that all the guards had been replaced and they were all unfamiliar faces.

These were the people who had followed her all the way to Tianlang and back from Tianlang. She could even call out many of them by name!

She called the maid over and asked in a panic, "Why were the guards replaced?"

The nanny lowered her eyes and answered respectfully, "His Royal Highness said that the previous guards had traveled a long distance and were exhausted, so he asked them to change shifts and go back to rest."

"These guards were transferred from the palace..."

Qi Rongrong's heart grew even colder.

Originally, she thought that since she had gone to Tianlang, as time passed, the past would be over.

But today's situation clearly reminded her that things are not over.

Crown Prince Fu Chenan was angry and had not yet forgiven himself.

She suddenly felt a little panic: she gave birth to two sons, one was the emperor and the other was the prince, who would be the future emperor.

But from the current point of view, both sons are resentful of themselves...

Qi Rongrong raised her foot to go outside, but was stopped by the guard at the door.

Qi Rongrong explained in surprise: "I've been sitting in the car for so long, I want to go out for a walk."

The guard's tone was respectful but cold: "Reporting to the Grand Princess, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ordered that there are too many people outside. For safety reasons, please do not go out recently."

It's a polite statement, but it doesn't leave any room for maneuver.

Qi Rongrong stood at the door, stunned.

So, she is restricted from traveling?

She turned back in fear and looked at the nanny who had been with her for more than a year: "What is the prince going to do to me?"

The nanny responded respectfully: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince is worried about your safety, please don't think too much..."

How could she not think too much?

But obviously, she had neither the ability nor the qualifications to resist.

Under the persuasion of the nanny, she changed clothes, ate and slept like a puppet.

Qi Rongrong was dreaming.

In the dream, I felt like I was tied up and sitting in a magnificent palace.

She couldn't move or speak. She watched helplessly as people bowed to her and served her delicacies from the land and fine clothes, but she couldn't move.

She watched helplessly as these things were brought to her, and she stuffed them into her mouth, but they tasted bland, and her body was wrapped tighter and tighter in her gorgeous clothes...

She struggled hard and ran out after breaking free. She lost her shoes. Fog rose up around her and in the fog she could hear a child crying miserably: "Mom! Don't leave!"

"Mom! I will be obedient..."

"An'er!" Qi Rongrong woke up in shock, sweating profusely. She then realized that she had wrapped the quilt tightly, but her feet had kicked out of the quilt.

No wonder my body feels like it’s tied up and my feet are cold…

She pushed the quilt aside in fear and stood up. The nanny brought her a cup of warm tea and said, "Your Highness, are you in a nightmare? Do you need a doctor?"

Qi Rongrong shook her head: "No need..."

As soon as I said this, I realized my throat was hoarse and painful: Did I catch a cold?

As soon as the eldest princess returned to Tianwu Capital, she fell ill.

The ladies of noble families who came with Tianlang all wanted to see her, but they were told that "the Grand Princess needs to rest during her illness and will not see outsiders."

Qi Rongrong lay in bed, sick and unable to get out of bed. She drank medicine every day, and no one came to visit her. She finally confirmed that she was under house arrest.

Why?

When I was collecting my things before, no one seemed angry?

Even Xuer said that he could accept it?

He also encouraged himself to bring all the treasures and antiques back to Tianwu.

Could it be that... Xuer already knew that she would be placed under house arrest as soon as she returned?

Did the two brothers discuss this beforehand?

I am the only one who was kept in the dark? And I am still smug about it?

Qi Rongrong's eyes were dull, she just kept crying: "Mammy, did I do something wrong?"

"What did I do wrong?"

The nanny lowered her eyes and said respectfully, "Your Highness is the biological mother of the Crown Prince and His Majesty, how could she be wrong?"

"Your Highness is always right."
