I need money to buy more rice and flour.

So, whatever you think this ring is worth, that's what you'll give!

Although Chu Lingqing was a princess and did not concern herself with court affairs, she was not someone who knew nothing.

Right now, the drought isn't just affecting Jianzhou Prefecture in the Great Chu Kingdom; many other places are experiencing abnormal weather conditions.

Putting everything else aside, in the capital city alone, it has been two months since a single drop of rain has fallen.

And this year's temperature is also a bit higher than in previous years.

She was very pleased to hear what Mrs. Qiao said.

Her eldest cousin-in-law had a generous dowry.

Since Mr. Qiao has said so, the price certainly won't be cheap.

Therefore, she tilted her head and looked at Song Zhiyi.

“Since you say so, if I were to lower my voice, I would be disregarding the lives of the people.”

In that case, I will pay two thousand taels of silver for this item.

Besides the fact that these are high-quality goods, I also wanted to do something for the people of Jianzhou Prefecture.

If you agree, I'll have the servants go back and get the money right now!

The reason Song Zhiyi offered such a high price was indeed due to the influence of Qiao's words.

When she asked about the price, she was actually thinking of five hundred taels.

After thinking about it, I realized that this item was rare, so the price could be higher, but it couldn't exceed eight hundred taels.

However, after hearing what Qiao said, she wanted to do something for those people.

In her view, doing more good deeds within one's capacity is never wrong!

"Two, two thousand taels?"

Mrs. Qiao was stunned. She never imagined that a ring could sell for two thousand taels of silver.

Even if Linglong Pavilion takes 30% now, she will still have 1,400 taels in her hands.

She has only sold one item so far; there are still several items left in the brocade box.

If they sell them all, what will the Qiao family have to worry about next?

Thinking this, after Song Zhiyi nodded, she glanced at Chu Lingqing again.

Finally, to Chu Lingqing's utter bewilderment, she stood up and said:

"Sixth Princess, Madam Song, please wait a moment. I have some things that I need to go back to the inn to get."

"Please wait for me for about fifteen minutes."

Of the things Chi Yu gave her, she only brought two gemstones, two bracelets, and a ring with her today.

Since this item can fetch such a high price in the capital, she decided to put the entire set of jewelry up for sale as well.

She had originally planned to keep it and sell it when she returned to Jinling.

It appears that the sixth princess is wearing only one set.

However, the Sixth Princess's outfit was pink and white, while hers was sea blue.

I imagine that set could sell for at least two or three thousand taels!

With that in mind, after Chu Lingqing agreed with a puzzled look on her face, she left her mother there to keep her company while she and her father hurried to the inn.

Fortunately, their residence was not far from Linglong Pavilion.

It won't take them more than 15 minutes to go out and come back.

After the door to the Orchid Hall closed again, Madam Qiao took a few deep breaths before taking out the item hidden in her sleeve pocket.

This is a small brocade box, wrapped in silk.

She opened the brocade box, and saw Chu Lingqing's eyes widen in surprise.

"This, this..."

The set she's wearing is said to be a royal item from an alternate story.

They even said it was a one-of-a-kind item in the world.

Why is the Qiao family's place like this now?

Although the colors are different, the texture looks exactly the same.
