Chapter 9
"Xiaoyue, do you like this dress?"
"like!"
Yi Luoyue raised his hand to call the shopkeeper over and gave him a subtle look. The shopkeeper immediately understood and pretended not to know the master.
"If you like it, you can go to the inner room to try it out."
"Take it down."
After a while, Xiaoyueer, who had changed her clothes, ran to Yi Luoyue and turned around in circles.
"Sister, does it look good?"
Her eyes lit up.
"Of course she's pretty! Just like a fairy, Xiaoyue will definitely be a great beauty when she grows up. She will charm many people."
"Thank you, sister is prettier, as pretty as my mother." Yue'er's eyes lit up with joy.
"Really?"
"Yeah, Daddy always says that Mom and I are the most beautiful people in the world!"
After saying that, she started spinning happily again. Her wide skirt drew a big circle, and Xiaoyue looked like a dancing butterfly.
Daddy? She wasn't referring to her unreliable adoptive father. If Xiaoyue was an orphan, why didn't she seem sad when her parents were mentioned?
"Sister, this one is also very beautiful."
"Do you like it? If you like it, you can try it again."
"Really? Okay!" She picked it up and was about to take a closer look at it when a person suddenly appeared beside her and reached out to grab the skirt from her hand.
"What are you doing?" She suddenly took a few steps back, one hand still tightly grasping her skirt. Following the hand holding the skirt, she looked up and saw a girl in green, about her own age, trying to pull the skirt away from her.
"Hey! This is the one I saw first, don't you feel ashamed to steal something?" After a brief look, Xiaoyue once again confirmed that her beauty was rare in the world, except for her mother. Although the other person was dressed in gorgeous and exquisite clothes, and it was obvious that they were worth a lot of money, her beauty was enough to make up for everything.
Humph! Lose to me!
"You are not worthy! Ugly girl, let me go and I will spare your life." The girl glanced at Xiaoyue'er with disdain and arrogance.
"Hey! What a big mouth!" Xiaoyue sneered.
"If your eyes are not good, go get them treated. If they can't be cured, don't go out. It's not your fault that you're blind. The fault is that you're blind and don't know it. You... you look like this, and you still have the nerve to call me ugly?" Humph! Don't think you're right just because you speak louder. If someone is ugly and has a bad heart, you can tell at a glance that he's not a good person.
"How dare you talk to me like that!" The girl in green's face turned extremely ugly when she heard that.
"Am I wrong? You're the ugliest among all the people here. Not only are you ugly, but you're also so unreasonable. Do you understand the principle of first come first served? I saw it first, so even if you want to see it, you should wait until I've seen it first!"
At this moment, except for them, all other guests in the Nishang Pavilion had been scared away by the green-dressed girl's shouting and cursing.
Looking at the little girl who was snatching the dress from Xiaoyue'er, there was a hint of arrogance between her brows, which showed that she had been born into a life of luxury. The style of her clothes showed that she should be a lady from a wealthy family, not to mention that she was accompanied by maids and guards.
The shopkeeper of Nishang Pavilion quietly came to Yi Luoyue's side and spoke softly in a voice that no one else could hear.
"These two are the virtuous king's son and princess."
"Yeah. Do they come here often?"
"I don't come here often, but whenever I do, I always cause trouble."
"How dare you! You dare to snatch things from this princess? Do you know who my father is?
"That's weird, why should I know?"
"How dare you! My father is a virtuous king. How dare you snatch something from me? Believe it or not, I will have you killed."
"Believe... I believe you wouldn't dare to kill me." A wise king? Just kidding, she had never seen anyone more powerful than her father, with the exception of her mother of course.
"You little bitch, I'm going to beat you to death." After saying that, he stretched out his hand and slapped Xiaoyue'er in the face, determined to teach her a lesson.
"Bai Die." As Yi Luoyue called out, Bai Die grabbed Yi Tianya's wrist.
"Let me go, you slut, I tell you to let go."
"Let my sister go." When Yi Tianhao saw his sister being captured, he immediately signaled the guards to rescue her. The guards who received the order immediately drew their swords and pointed them at Yi Luoyue and others.
"You...you...you guys, catch her quickly, I'm going to kill her." Yi Tianya shouted at the guards behind her.
"Bai Die, let her go."
"yes."
Yi Luoyue stood up and came in front of Xiaoyueer and Yi Tianya.
"Both of you let go." Xiao Yue'er let go of her hands obediently, and Yi Tianya also let go of her clothes under Yi Luoyue's intimidating gaze. Yi Luoyue took the clothes and handed them to Bai Die.
"Is that what your father taught you? That's a bit of a royal etiquette."
"How dare you! Who are you? What qualifications do you have to criticize me?"
"Don't worry about who I am. I'm making this clear today. Even if your father were here, he wouldn't say no if I wanted to discipline you."
"Tianya, stop talking." Yi Tianhao, who had been watching from the side, pulled Yi Tianya over. After all, he was a few years older than Yi Tianya and often followed the wise king, so he had his own vision.
Judging by their attire, could they be daughters of some aristocratic family? However, my sister and I generally recognize the daughters of the aristocratic families in Yidu, and we've never seen these two before, so it's very likely they're from out of town. I heard from my father that royal family members from the other four Yi tribes will be attending Aunt Yue's birthday banquet soon. If they are, they'll cause such a scene that they're afraid my father will punish them if they return home.
"Brother! What are you doing?" Yi Tianya tried to shake off her brother's hand relentlessly.
"Tianya, stop making trouble. Don't you just want this dress? Brother will buy you one."
"Miss, my sister likes this dress very much. Can you give it to her?" It sounded like a negotiation, but the tone was still condescending.
"Why must others give up the things she likes? What's the logic behind this?" Xiaoyue pouted. Her mother once said that as long as she was right, she could argue back no matter who it was.
"How about we offer five times the price? Five times is enough for you to buy several sets of clothes." Although Yi Tianhao is young, he knows that things that can be solved with money are not a problem.
"elder brother!"
"Princess, please listen to the prince." The maidservant serving Yi Tianya persuaded Yi Tianya who was still in a bad mood.
"Okay, I'm not an unreasonable person. Ten times, if you offer ten times, I'll give it to you." Xiaoyue said with her head held high and chest puffed out.
"Xiao Yue'er, don't you like it too?" This little girl is no worse than herself at cheating people out of money.
"I like it. That's why they have to pay ten times as much." Tsk, she didn't even think about it. She was her mother's daughter. Her mother was so good at making money, so her daughter would certainly not be bad. Besides, the Nishang Pavilion was originally her mother's property. She was just trying to make more money for her own shop.
"Okay, ten times is ten times."
"Come here, bring the banknotes."
Yi Luoyue signaled the shopkeeper to collect the money and pack the clothes.
"No." Xiaoyue glanced at the shopkeeper who took the banknote.
"What's wrong? Isn't it ten times what you said?" Yi Tianya roared angrily.
"Ten times is for me, and you have to pay for the clothes separately."
"You! Don't go too far!"
"What? You can't afford it? Forget it if you can't afford it." Humph, who's afraid of who.
"Give me money." Yi Tianhao clenched his fists.
"Hmph, brother, shall we go?"
Holding the clothes packed by the shopkeeper, Yi Tianya got angry at Yi Tianhao when she got outside the store.
"Brother, why did you stop me from teaching that little bastard a lesson?"
"Didn't Father tell me to stop causing trouble for him outside recently?"
"Are lowly servants like them worthy? No, I'm still very angry. No matter what, I must teach them a lesson." Yi Tianya was still unyielding.
"Don't worry, leave it to me, I will make them pay the price."
"You, wait for them to come out, follow them, and see where they live and who they are?" Yi Tianhao ordered a guard outside the door.
"Yes, Prince."
Watching Yi Tianhao and Yi Tianya depart, I'd heard before that my eldest brother's two children were arrogant and domineering, and seeing them today was indeed true. This was because Shu Fei doted on them so much, and even Shu Fei's maternal family, the relatives of the eldest prince's wife, also doted on them. They were only given the titles of Crown Prince and Princess, yet they were so arrogant. If my eldest brother ascended to the throne, who knew how much more arrogant they would be.
"Sister, this is for you." Xiaoyue handed the banknote to Yi Luoyue as if she were presenting a treasure.
"You got this, what are you doing with it?"
"Just think of it as money to buy clothes." Really, she is still so young, it is not appropriate for her to take so much money.
"You! You little bastard."
"Boss, pack up all the floral dresses in the store that she can wear."
"Here, shopkeeper, all for you." Xiaoyue stuffed all the banknotes into the hands of the shopkeeper of Nishang Pavilion.
"This?" The shopkeeper glanced at the host.
"Keep it."
"Then you two take a seat for a moment. I'll go pack the young lady's clothes."
"Bai Die, go get the carriage and put all the food and clothes on it."
"Yes, miss."
The shopkeeper rummaged around the store and packed more than twenty sets of clothes. Since the owner had said so, he had to pack them all, even if he didn't have enough money.
After all the items were loaded into the car, it seemed that it was almost time for dinner. Since Xiaoyue'er's family had not come yet, they probably would not come here. Could it be that they still hadn't realized that the child was missing?
"Won't your adoptive father worry about you?"
Xiaoyue smiled innocently and shook her head at her.
"Xiao Yue'er, where do you live?" Her elegant brows wrinkled into a few small wrinkles. It seemed that she was hoping her family would come to find her, but it would probably be faster to send her back.
"I don't know the address, but I know the name of the city and how to get there."
"Whose mansion is this?"
"Princess's Mansion." The little girl obviously didn't think there was anything wrong.
"Princess's Mansion!" Yi Luoyue and Bai Die looked at each other. How come she didn't know that there was such a child in her family?
"Uh...next to the princess's mansion."
Next to the princess's mansion...it seems that there is only the residence of the Prince of Xiyi left?
"Xiao Yue'er, what's your godfather's name?" Yi Luoyue had an indescribable strange feeling.
"Gong Yuchen, my father's name is Gong Yuchen."
