Princess Danyang glanced at her, her eyes filled with displeasure, and her tone turned cold: "What are you standing there for? Sit down."
Meng Zhao was a little confused by her sudden mood, but she didn't dare to ask any questions and obediently sat down to the side.
"My mother told me to thank you for saving me."
"Your Highness is too kind. It was nothing more than a small favor. I am not worthy of your thanks."
Princess Danyang snorted coldly, her tone tinged with displeasure: "What do you mean by 'a small favor'? If you hadn't intervened in time that day, I'm afraid I would have already... Hmph, anyway, you saved me, so I'll thank you."
After saying that, she knocked on the carriage door, and the woman who had led the way earlier bowed and placed a box on the table. Meng Zhao saw the box and thought it looked familiar, but she didn't dare to recognize it. Then she heard Princess Danyang say, "This is the most popular 'renewal gift box' right now. Countless noble ladies in the capital are scrambling to buy it but haven't been able to get one. Today, I'll give you a set."
Meng Zhao first looked at Princess Danyang, then at the gift box on the table, her expression somewhat blank. Princess Danyang saw her like that and said disdainfully, "I bet you, a country bumpkin, have never seen anything good. Any one of these items could buy the whole outfit you're wearing."
Meng Zhao looked down and realized that she was dressed rather plainly for convenience when going out, but she had worn a few hair ornaments. She couldn't be that shabby, could she? So she asked, "Princess Danyang, how much silver did you spend on these?"
Princess Danyang frowned. "How would I know? Anyway, it's very expensive."
Meng Zhao found it somewhat amusing. If she were to reveal now that she was the owner of the Treasure Pavilion, the princess would probably be angry. But if she kept it a secret, she would be even angrier if she found out later. Hesitating, Meng Zhao opened the gift box, but then sensed something was amiss.
The exterior design and internal compartments of the gift box were almost identical to the revamped gift box in her shop, but the contents inside were somewhat different, especially the eyebrow pencil, which was of a very different thickness. Meng Zhao quickly pulled the item inside to take a look.
Seeing her so eager, the Princess of Danyang became even more disdainful. "I suppose you've never seen these things before and don't know how to use them!" But seeing how anxious Meng Zhao was, she still kindly said, "The items in the Treasure Pavilion all have an instruction manual. Take them back and take a look, and you'll be able to learn how to use them."
After saying that, she reached out to rummage through the items, but after a couple of searches, she found nothing. At that moment, she realized that this thing was somewhat different from the things she usually used, and her face immediately turned bright red.
"This, this, this... Damn it, how dare you deceive this princess!"
