Chapter 525: Door-to-door delivery
"Puchi, hahahaha..." Meng Chifei laughed out loud at Ji Rong's childish words.
She patted Ji Rong's head and teased, "I'm eleven years older than you. Why should I marry a chick like you who hasn't even grown all his hair yet?"
"Hmph, I'm already a ten-year-old kid, not a chicken." Ji Rong put his hands on his hips in anger.
"And why can't we get married?! The emperor's grandfather had concubines who were twenty years younger than him, and we are only eleven years younger, um..." Meng Chifei covered Ji Rong's mouth with his hand to stop him from talking nonsense.
I'm going to die.
Can the emperor talk about things casually?
He deserved to have his head chopped off.
Oh, right.
Ji Rong is of royal blood, and he is the only one who will be beheaded!

After Gu Saisai returned to the Prince Consort's Mansion, she originally wanted to go directly to her mother, the Princess, to complain.
Unfortunately, the eldest princess went out for something.
Gu Saisai could only stay at home, waiting anxiously.
'Jingminglou' may deliver the goods to your door at any time, and Gu Saisai is very annoyed now.
Just when she was getting impatient, the eldest princess finally returned.
Gu Saisai immediately rushed over and started to act like a spoiled child: "Mother, my daughter has been wronged, you have to stand up for her..."
Princess Ji Wuxia was heartbroken. She hugged her beloved and comforted her: "Who is the blind person who provoked my little princess? Tell me, and I will avenge her."
Gu Saisai sobbed, "Really? Mother, will you really avenge me?"
"Of course it's true. When has mother ever said anything wrong to you?" the eldest princess assured.
Gu Saisai finally burst into laughter and complained to the elders: "It's too simple!
She conspired with Wen Yan to set me up, using a Guanyin statue and a glass chandelier to defraud me of three hundred thousand taels of silver."
"What!" The eldest princess couldn't help but raise her voice, "Three hundred thousand taels! Although your parents are not short of money, they can't let people take advantage of them like fools!"
"So, mother, we can't let Taisu succeed. You must teach them a profound lesson."
The eldest princess already had a plan in mind: "They are just a few yellow-haired maids. Don't worry, mother promises to help you vent your anger."
As soon as she finished speaking, the housekeeper of the Gu Mansion came hurriedly to report: "Your Highness, outside... a group of people came outside, saying they are here to deliver the Glazed Guanyin."
"I haven't even gone to look for them yet, but they came to my door!" The eldest princess sneered.
He whispered a few words to the nanny beside him.
"Yes." The nanny took the order and left.
The princess then ordered the housekeeper: "Go and call them in."
The butler looked embarrassed and did not leave.
The eldest princess frowned slightly: "What else do you want?"
The housekeeper then said truthfully, "They said that Your Highness, please go to the gate to inspect it in person."
Gu Saisai immediately looked at the eldest princess: "Mother..."
"What are you afraid of?" The eldest princess flung her sleeves and said, "Let's go. I'll go out and meet them myself."
When the princess brought Gu Saisai to the gate of the mansion, she saw the people crowded inside and outside, and she felt a darkness before her eyes.
Are they on guard and deliberately attracting so many people to put pressure on others?
Haha, the method is really childish!
Gu Saisai was angry and was about to ask the servants to drive the man away.
Then I heard a commotion at the back of the crowd.
Soon, the crowd parted and a group of Acropolis Guards walked in.
The leader was Ji Chengyuan.
And the team he leads today is not simple either.
They were all children of powerful people in the capital, who came to the Acropolis Camp for training.
"Your Highness the Princess." Ji Chengyuan bowed to the Princess first.
The princess opened her mouth, intending to expose Ji Chengyuan's identity, but remembering the emperor's instructions, she had to change her words angrily, "Little Chief Yuan, what are you doing here at the gate of my mansion with so many people?"
Ji Chengyuan's businesslike attitude: "A large number of people gathered here, and I was worried about a fight, so I brought people over.
What happened at the Prince Consort's Mansion?"
The eldest princess wanted to get away with it casually.
Wen Yan said first: "It was Princess Jinghe who bought our store's treasure. We are grateful and sent it to you with a grand ceremony.
As for these common people, perhaps they wanted to take this opportunity to see how beautiful the glass Guanyin statue really is! "
"So that's how it is." Ji Chengyuan nodded with an understanding look on his face, but he had no intention of driving the people away.
Wen Yan then looked towards Gu Sai and said, "Your Highness, we have delivered the glass Guanyin statue. Please inspect it in person."
At her signal.
Someone immediately brought in an octagonal table and a shelf.
Meng Chifei walked forward, opened the box, and took something out.
Princess Jinghe stopped them: "Wen Yan, Meng Chifei, what are you doing?"
"Glass is fragile, so of course I'll inspect it in person with Princess Jinghe. After confirming everything is fine, I'll sign the acceptance form."
"First, ask someone to carry the things into the mansion. Go inside and sit down and have a cup of tea. It won't be too late to inspect them slowly later." Gu Saisai said.
My mother has already ordered someone to tamper with the road surface.
Once they step on the mechanisms, they will fall down with the boxes.
Just like Wen Yan said, glass is fragile.
The Guanyin statue and the chandelier were both broken, and I hadn’t signed for them yet, so the transaction was not completed.
Not only do they not have to be taken advantage of, they may even be able to take the opportunity to claim compensation and make another profit.
"I thought that Princess Jinghe was kind-hearted and would definitely be willing to let the people admire this rare treasure!" Wen Yan quickly apologized and bowed.
“I’m sorry, my lady.
I thought that letting the people see it would not damage the Guanyin statue. Since you are kind and generous, you will definitely be willing to share the joy with the people.
It turns out that I made a presumptuous assumption and misunderstood you..."
Wen Yan has said so much.
If she refused to let the people see her again, these petty-minded poor people would spread the word about her pettiness tomorrow.
She could only force a dry laugh. "That's not true. I just think it's a little too shabby for this street, and disrespectful to the Buddha."
"Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva saves people from suffering and never cares about these material things. Could it be that Princess Jinghe doesn't like them?" Meng Chifei added.
"You..." Does Princess Jinghe dare to say that she doesn't like it?
Before she could even force out a dry laugh, Wen Yan had already brought people to hang the chandelier on the shelf.
Wen Yan also took out many candles, lit them and placed them on the candlesticks.
Because it was daytime, the chandelier was not very dazzling.
But it still caused the onlookers to cheer.
at the same time.
Meng Chifei also placed the glazed Guanyin on the Eight Immortals table.
The Eight Immortals table is covered with satin. Sunlight shines on it and the light is reflected onto the glazed Guanyin, making the entire Guanyin statue seem to be emitting light.
The originally noisy street suddenly became quiet.
Everyone held their breath and looked at the glass Guanyin statue.
Staring intently.
After a few breaths.
A seven-colored rainbow suddenly appeared above the Glazed Guanyin.
Ji Rong, a child, spoke without restraint. He pointed at the rainbow and said loudly, "Look, there is holy light on the Bodhisattva's head!"
