Chapter 516 You don’t want to default on your debt, do you?
"I heard that the new Zhiyun brocade from Zhiyun Textile is very good. I also asked someone to buy some material to make winter clothes, but it hasn't been made yet."
When the Sixth Princess talked about Zhiyunfang, she kept praising it: "My favorite thing is the color of Zhiyunjin. I think the light purple one is so beautiful. It's a pity that it's out of stock."
The Sixth Princess looked regretful.
Xiao Jiuyue said, "Your Highness likes it. I'll have someone give it to you tomorrow."
"Really?" The Sixth Princess' eyes sparkled as she looked at Xiao Jiuyue and said, "Sister Xiao, Zhiyunfang is different from other shops. It doesn't look at your status; you have to queue up based on your ability. Go early. This taro purple Zhiyun brocade is the most sought-after. I heard the queue has already reached over 100. I wonder if I'll be able to buy one when the next batch arrives."
"I have some in my house. It's enough to make clothes for you." Xiao Jiuyue chuckled. When the merchant sent the fabric, he specially left a lot of taro purple brocade for her.
"Sister Xiao, you are so nice." The Sixth Princess caught up with Xiao Jiuyue and praised her.
Du Ting twitched his lips, thinking disdainfully: "Isn't it just a piece of material? What's there to be proud of?"
"We'll come back in three hours and see who has the most prey." Du Ting jumped on her horse and couldn't wait to go hunting. She had to win five hundred taels of silver!
"Wait a minute, Miss Du, we have to hand over the silver first, so that no one will cheat." Xiao Jiuyue said, and directly took out a silver note of five hundred taels and placed it on the tray.
The Sixth Princess's banknotes had been prepared long ago. As a princess, Princess Mu Xi could afford five hundred taels of silver. Now, only Du Ting was missing.
Du Ting paused as she gripped the reins. She pulled the corners of her mouth together and said with a smile, "Miss Xiao, you are too judgmental. I, Du Ting, can still afford the five hundred taels of silver, and I will not default on my debt."
"Miss Du, don't be angry. I didn't say you couldn't afford it. It was just a sense of ceremony. This money will be handed over to Miss Gao, Miss Feng, and Miss Jiang for safekeeping."
Xiao Jiuyue explained with a smile.
The Sixth Princess also said, "Miss Du, even if you don't trust Sister Xiao, you can't distrust Miss Gao, Miss Feng, and Miss Jiang, right?" No matter whether it is Miss Gao from the Minister of Rites's Mansion, Miss Feng Yin from the Censor's Family, or Miss Jiang from the Duke of Jiang's Mansion, all of them are daughters of aristocratic families.
As soon as the Sixth Princess finished speaking, Miss Jiang took the initiative to speak, "Don't worry, Miss Du. Even if Miss Xiao didn't ask, we would have asked. Now, the only thing left is Miss Du's prize."
"I don't mean to distrust you ladies." Du Ting hurriedly explained. She was not afraid of offending Xiao Jiuyue, but if she offended the others, especially Miss Jiang, how would she live in the future?
"Mingyue, why haven't you done what I just told you to do yet?" Du Ting scolded the maid Mingyue and directly put all the blame on the maid Mingyue.
Mingyue was so frightened by the shout that she knelt down immediately: "Miss..." She hesitated. Du Ting knew very well that she was just here for hunting, so why would she bring so much silver?
Du Ting was so focused on winning money that he completely forgot about the rules and didn't even think about borrowing some silver. This caused Mingyue to kneel down and say, "The silver is in the tent, why don't you go get it?"
Du Ting winked at Mingyue, telling her that this girl had better be smart, otherwise he would not stay with her.
"Yes, I'll get it now." Mingyue immediately understood what Du Ting meant. If she went to find the young master now, the young master must have brought so much silver.
"I'm sorry, this girl has become less and less smart at work recently, and she's wasting everyone's time." Du Ting put the blame on the maid in a few words.
As for whether everyone believes it or not, no one knows.
"Your Highness, shall we set off?" Xiao Jiuyue asked the Sixth Princess beside him.
The Sixth Princess nodded and said to Princess Mu Xi, "Princess Mu Xi, we will know the outcome in three hours!"
After saying this, the Sixth Princess squeezed the horse's belly, pulled the reins and started galloping!
Xiao Jiuyue looked at her back and sighed. Being a princess is not easy. The more noble your status is, the more you have to bear. She is obviously still a thirteen or fourteen-year-old junior high school student.
"drive!"
Princess Mu Xi rode her horse very fast, so fast that Xiao Jiuyue was simply stunned. She turned sideways to avoid the dust. Behind her was Du Ting who was following in the dust. It seemed that she really wanted to win!
After the dust settled a little, Xiao Jiuyue rode her horse and galloped over. This time when she went hunting, she didn't bring any maids with her. Just a few of them went into the woods to hunt!
This is the royal hunting ground. There are no large wild beasts in the hunting ground in the north, which is enough for the female members to have fun.
Unfortunately, Yurong and Tingwu were not interested in any of this.
Xiao Jiuyue originally wanted to bring Xiao Yurong and Xiao Tingwu with her, but unfortunately, neither of the sisters was interested and tried to hide whenever possible.
"Sister Xiao, when we hunt the first wild rabbit, we will roast it." The excited voice of the Sixth Princess came. When Xiao Jiuyue arrived, the Sixth Princess's arrow was already on the string.
Soon, the arrow left the bowstring and flew away. The Sixth Princess's excited voice was heard: "Hit!"
There were many guards in the hunting grounds, who were specifically there to pick up game for them. The Sixth Princess looked at the pheasant the guards had picked up and said with disdain, "Why is it a pheasant? I thought it was a hare."
"The roasted pheasant tastes good too." Xiao Jiuyue smiled and approached, praising him, "Your Highness is a great archer, taking first place. It seems I have to work harder."
"Sister Xiao, it's okay. If you don't have enough when the time comes, I'll give you some." The Sixth Princess said in a low voice.
The Sixth Princess still had a bit of baby fat on her face, and her adorable appearance made her want to pinch her. She said, "No need, we each rely on our own strength, and we will definitely be able to defeat Princess Mu Xi when the time comes!"
As soon as Xiao Jiuyue finished speaking, he heard Mu Xi's excited voice coming from not far away, and saw from afar that the guard was holding up a wild rabbit!
"Hmph, we can't let her win. We can't lose face for our Nanyue!" The Sixth Princess didn't want to eat anymore, so she rode her horse to look for prey again.
Xiao Jiuyue took an arrow from the quiver. It was time for her to test the results!
'Swoosh' 'Swoosh' 'Swoosh'
Xiao Jiuyue was lucky and immediately took a fancy to a few pheasants. After a few arrows, he hit two pheasants in succession.
"Unfortunately, another one ran away." Xiao Jiuyue touched her bow. The angle was a little off and the speed was a little slow.
If Donggui were here, I'm afraid that one wouldn't be able to escape!
"Sister Xiao, you, you are so awesome!" The Sixth Princess originally wanted to help Xiao Jiuyue, but at this moment, the Sixth Princess was eager to fight, and she wanted to work harder.
"Your Highness is really amazing. This is the third prey, right?" Xiao Jiuyue chuckled. Perhaps it was to make everyone more happy hunting. She felt that there were a lot of prey in this forest.
