Thinking that Chaoge was not short of money and it would be too awkward to thank someone for saving her life, Princess Bi Chen thought of buying Master Xiao's jewelry for Chaoge.
Who knew that after waiting for a long time, the servant finally came back, but what he waited for was this result. Princess Bi Chen was naturally very disappointed.
"Concubine Qing and the Prime Minister's wife also came with their female relatives. Princess Lina also brought a group of young ladies from official families. They took all the jewelry to look at."
"Is Master Xiao's still there?"
"It's gone now. I don't know who bought it."
Hearing this, Princess Bi Chen was even more disappointed!
"Forget it. Then go get some new jewelry. There are hundreds of them. It's impossible for them to buy them all. Just bring thirty pieces to this princess."
Hearing this, the waiter had no choice but to retreat.
In the next room, Princess Lina learned that Master Xiao's jewelry had already been taken, and her already bad mood became even worse.
"Could it be that you hid it and wanted to give it to others?"
Zhong Qin looked at the servant who came to report, and her face immediately turned cold, and she said with dissatisfaction.
"How dare I deceive the princess and the ladies? I don't have the right to do that. Under normal circumstances, first come first served. It's normal for other nobles to buy first. After all, this batch of jewelry arrived at noon."
"What! You don't want to give up even one piece? What do you mean? If you can, let them buy them all!"
Suddenly, the voice of Princess Bi Chen from next door rang out in a high pitch. Zhong Qin and the others who were making things difficult for the servant couldn't help but change their expressions slightly!
"Could it be Princess Bichen?"
Qiu Yuanyuan looked at Princess Lina, who looked unwell, and murmured softly.
Hearing this, Princess Lina glanced at the maid beside her. The maid understood what she meant and immediately walked out of the next box.
"Reporting to the princess, it is indeed Princess Bi Chen, and the woman who seduced Prince Mo on the painted boat that day."
"What! She's here too? I didn't expect this woman to know Princess Bi Chen? Who is she? When did this woman appear in the capital?"
Qiu Yuanyuan looked surprised, but Princess Kelina was not surprised at all.
She knew at the auction that the two had a close relationship. Although Princess Bi Chen was a princess, she usually did not confide in the noble ladies of the capital, nor did they play together. She didn't know why she would play with such a vixen.
To be honest, Princess Lina had already had evil thoughts at this time! No matter who it was, as long as they dared to have a crush on Jun Yumo, she would hate them!
Among the many noble ladies in the capital, everyone knows their relationship with Jun Yumo. If there is anyone who really does not know what is good for him, then it means that he is not giving face to her and the Prince Liang'an's Mansion!
"Princess, this is a good opportunity. Wait, I will show everyone a good show later!"
After Qiu Yuanyuan finished speaking, thinking about Princess Lina's attitude towards her before, she suddenly thought of a way to please her. She said mysteriously, and then walked out of the box with her maid.
After a while, Princess Bi Chen, who was eating cakes next door, suddenly covered her stomach and frowned.
"Sister Yun, I think I have a stomachache. Please wait for me."
Seeing Princess Bi Chen keep eating after entering the box, she suddenly covered her stomach, which showed that she had stomach problems. Chaoge shook his head helplessly.
After Princess Bi Chen left, Chaoge thought that since Princess Bi Chen came to choose her dowry, she should also prepare some gifts for her. Since the servant didn't bring any, she would go downstairs first to see if there were any old models that were also outstanding.
The servant downstairs saw Chaoge and greeted him warmly. Chaoge asked the servant directly to bring out the best headwear in their shop.
"The best headpiece! Miss, our Chengbaozhai does have the best headpiece in the capital. It just arrived this afternoon. We originally had three sets, but two have been bought. Only one is left. It is made of imperial green jadeite. The color is a bit old-fashioned, but it is absolutely precious."
"No problem. The more valuable it is, the more it can be passed down. If you can't wear it at this age, it's good to save it for when you're older."
Hearing this, the servant hurriedly invited Chaoge to sit on the armchair beside him. After a while, he and a few servants brought the set of imperial green jadeite headdress.
Not to mention the head ornaments, just the box that contained the head ornaments looked extremely exquisite at first glance. Looking at the servants acting so cautiously, Chaoge became even more curious about how valuable the head ornaments were.
One of the servants held the box carefully with both hands, and the other servant also opened the lock carefully and slowly opened the lid. When Chaoge saw the exquisitely crafted imperial green jadeite headpiece inside, he was indeed amazed!
“How do you sell this?”
Although this headpiece is very delicate and elegant, it is indeed a bit old-fashioned. This pattern and design would be difficult to pull off if you are under 50 years old.
But when Chaoge gave something as a gift, she naturally only wanted to know how expensive it was. After checking the quality of the jadeite, she immediately asked the servant about it.
"My lady, this headpiece is inlaid with 30 jades, of all sizes. It also comes with matching earrings, necklaces, bracelets, bangles, and rings. The price is naturally not low."
"I know, you can just quote directly."
"Two hundred thousand taels of silver."
Chaoge!
Two hundred thousand taels of silver is indeed very expensive to buy a set of jewelry!
But she is not short of money, and if this set of jewelry is not worth hundreds of thousands, she would not give it to Princess Bi Chen at all since she cannot wear it now.
“No discount?”
"Hahaha! If you can't afford it, don't pretend to be rich. You came to this Cheng Bao Zhai to buy jewelry and actually asked if there is a discount? Are you trying to make us laugh to death?"
Even though Chaoge was rich, she was not a sucker. She was just asking casually. If she could save a few hundred taels and give some benefits to the servants at home, it would be better than giving it to outsiders.
But who knew that as soon as she opened her mouth, she would be laughed at by all of them!
Looking back, Chaoge didn't know the person who was laughing at him, so he didn't intend to pay any attention to him. He just turned his head and continued to look at the servant.
Seeing Chaoge looking at him seriously, the servant holding the box smiled awkwardly, "Miss, our Chengbaozhai does not have the rule of discounts. It's all fixed prices, and we never bargain."
"Oh, this is my first time here, I don't know much, so wrap it up for me..."
"Xiao Chen, hurry up, the Prime Minister's wife has decided to buy that imperial green headpiece, give it to me!"
Unexpectedly, before Chaoge could finish his words, a servant suddenly rushed down from the upstairs, and while happily rushing towards the servant Xiao Chen who was holding the box, he stretched out his hand to snatch the box.
Seeing the servant suddenly appearing and trying to steal his business, Xiao Chen immediately covered the box and naturally was unwilling to let go!
