Jing Huaian had no choice but to follow.
Now the sky was gradually getting dark, but there were still many people on the streets of the capital. Many people saw Yuchi Xi and greeted her.
"Your Highness, have you had your meal yet? If not, you can come to our house to eat!"
“Come to my house and eat!!”
"Come to my house for dinner, little princess!"
"Little Princess, whose house would you like to go to for dinner?"
Yuchi Feng pointed at himself and said, "What about me? What about me? Aren't you going to invite me?"
"Ah, isn't this His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince? Then, Your Royal Highness, would you like to come over for dinner?"
"I've eaten it!" Yuchi Feng smiled happily.
All he wants is the feeling of being cared about!
Yuchi Xi also nodded, "I've eaten it too!"
"Thank you for your kindness!"
The people waved their hands and said, "It's nothing. If you want to eat next time, you can come anytime!"
"Oh, His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince is also here, he's always with the Little Princess!"
"Okay!" The two nodded obediently. No matter how many times Jing Huaiyu saw it, he still felt that the little princess was truly popular among the people!
The three of them ran and played along the street, and gradually came to a street that was not often visited. This was a place with willows and smoke.
Yuchi Xi looked at the red lanterns and was about to pull Yuchi Feng away when he heard a noise coming from the front.
"I've already told you, your lamp is useless!"
"What the hell are you making? We want a lamp that lights up just by lighting it!"
"Your lamp is falling down, who wants it?"
The little girl fell to the ground after being pushed. Her palms instantly turned red, and there were faint traces of blood. She quickly got up and picked up her lamp, crying aggrievedly, "This is the last lamp my grandfather made before he died. Grandpa said it was a very good lamp!"
"This lamp is really beautiful. Please, let me hang it on your tallest building!"
“Please!”
"I'll let it go just this once, just this once is enough!"
"You silly girl, do you know how expensive our highest floor is? If your lamp burns out the tiles on our building, can you afford the compensation?" The madam said coldly, "Just light this broken lamp anywhere else!"
"How can you push someone?"
Yuchi Xi and a few others ran over. Yuchi Xi helped the little girl up. Yuchi Feng stood in front of them, hands on hips, glaring at the madam angrily.
The madam knew Yuchi Xi, and her expression immediately brightened.
"Your Highness, this must be the Eighth Prince, right?"
"What a misunderstanding!"
The madam laughed and covered her mouth with a handkerchief. "This girl came to our shop and said she wanted to hang some lamp her grandfather made on the tiles of our top floor and light it up. How can we do that?"
"That's so unlucky!"
"Besides, the tiles we use in that building are all made of glass. If they burn, can she afford to pay for it?"
"This... I am just running a small business, I really don't dare let her do anything wrong!"
People had begun to gather around, and many of them felt that she had done nothing wrong after hearing what she said.
"There's no such thing as a losing business, and she didn't do anything wrong!"
"She said her grandfather passed away. It's normal for people in this line of work to have some taboos!"
"That's right, those are glazed tiles. If they really burn, how can this little girl afford to pay for it? Speaking of which, this madam is still thinking about her!"
…
Yuchi Feng puffed up his cheeks angrily, "No matter what, you shouldn't have pushed anyone. You've hurt her!"
"You apologize to her!"
The madam rolled her eyes inwardly, but she was a resilient woman. "Oh, little girl, I'm so sorry. I was a little too strong just now."
"I didn't mean to do that."
The little girl hugged the lamp and cried silently. She bit her lower lip, shook her head, and said in a choked voice, "I don't blame you."
"I'm forcing you."
Yuchi Xi saw the sadness in her eyes and turned to look at the madam. "Tell me, how much does it cost to hang it there? I'll pay for it."
"Let her hang up."
Madam: "This..."
Wouldn’t this be a good deal?
"Fifty taels of silver!"
The madam opened her mouth loudly, and the little girl's eyes widened with fear. "I won't hang up anymore, I won't hang up anymore!"
That’s fifty taels of silver!
Selling her wouldn't be enough!
She should go to her grandfather's grave and repent!
Blame her for not being able to fulfill her grandfather's wish.
Yuchi Xi nodded, took out the banknote and handed it to her, "Okay."
"Can we let her hang up?"
The madam took the money and said with a smile, "Sure, sure! Of course you can!"
The little girl looked at Yuchi Xi, but before she could say anything, Yuchi Xi pulled her up and said, "Isn't this what you wanted to do?"
"Go!"
She leaned over to the little girl's ear and said, "I gave her all the money. She won't be happy to give it back to me."
"If you don't go, the money will be wasted!"
When the little girl heard this, she hurriedly followed the madam inside. Yuchi Xi and others also wanted to see the excitement, so they followed in.
The madam greeted them with a smile and sent someone to take the girl to the top floor.
Although it is said to be the tallest floor, it is actually only seven stories high. A lot of effort was put into building this floor.
Yuchi Xi and others were waiting downstairs, wanting to see what her lamp looked like.
