Chapter 812 Princess Jiajin’s Gift
This statement may be misinterpreted in some ways.
The maids beside the eldest princess couldn't help but frown.
The eldest princess naturally felt that something was wrong and quickly stretched out her hand to wave, "That's not what I meant..."
But before the princess finished her words, Shang Zhi had already reached out his hand again and bowed to her: "I know what the princess meant, but Wanwan did not come with you this time."
After Shang Zhi finished speaking, he saw the joy on the eldest princess' face, which seemed to be blown away in an instant and disappeared without a trace.
The eyes that were as bright as stars just now dimmed in an instant.
Seeing her like this, Shang Zhi felt quite emotional. No wonder Wanwan was so concerned about her relatives in the palace.
They are also so attentive to Wanwan.
"Princess, don't worry. The Royal Concubine and Princess Yong'an are doing fine now." Shang Zhi naturally knew that in order to prevent unrest in Yong'an County, the news of the Royal Concubine's poisoning had not been spread.
He also knew the folk tradition of reporting good news but not sorrow.
"However, Princess Yong'an and the Imperial Concubine have more important things to do in Yong'an County, so they did not come together this time."
"Princess Yong'an sent me here this time to ask the Queen Mother something."
The eldest princess nodded, put away the disappointment on her face, and resumed her elegant demeanor as a princess.
"Since Master Shang is going to the palace to look for the Empress Dowager, why don't you come with me?"
Shang Zhi looked towards the palace gate, but still couldn't see the guard. He then looked at the princess in front of him and nodded in response: "In that case, thank you, princess."
After arriving at the palace, even Shang Zhi, who had always been unruly, became much more calm.
Wanwan was right. This entire palace gave people a very depressing feeling. As soon as he entered the palace walls, even his mood became a little low.
The most important thing now is to complete the task assigned to him by Wanwan as soon as possible.
He turned his head and looked at Princess Jiajin behind him. Although Shang Zhi was also traveling in the mortal world, he rarely had any interactions with the common people. However, he had also learned a lot during this period of time.
He knew that there were certain rules in this world. For example, when he met the daughter of the eldest princess, he should show some respect.
Thinking of the few spirit beads he had won from somewhere else in his purse, he took one out, turned around, took a step back, and handed it to Princess Jiajin.
The eldest princess looked at Shang Zhi who suddenly made such a move in front of her, and hurried forward to stop him: "Mr. Shang, you are too polite."
Shang Zhi smiled and shook his head: "Actually, when I came here, Wanwan gave me a gift and asked me to bring it to Princess Jiajin. But I was in a hurry and forgot about it. Although this thing is not expensive, it can be played with."
This spiritual pearl is not a rare thing for Shang Zhi.
Anyway, there were probably a dozen or so spirit beads in his pocket, all of which he had won in bets with disciples from other sects. It was just their game.
But he knew in his heart that this thing must be different for mortals.
The eldest princess naturally knew that this was Shang Zhi and Wanwan’s intention, so she no longer refused.
And now Jia Jin is holding the spirit pearl in his hand and he likes it very much.
Although the eldest princess didn't know what Shang Zhi gave Jia Jin, she saw that the pearl was round and smooth, and even emitted a soft glow.
It looks like something extraordinary.
The princess was not wrong. This spiritual pearl could be used to increase the speed of cultivation even in the world of immortal cultivation.
But for mortals, the effect of this spiritual pearl is not like this.
If a mortal wears it for a long time, it can also improve the person's physique and make her stronger.
If the spiritual power of the spirit beads is slightly stronger, they can automatically trigger the protective power when mortals encounter danger.
The eldest princess naturally didn't know all this, and Shang Zhi didn't say much. He just took two steps and then stopped to give a few instructions.
"Princess, if you have time, you can make this bead and let the princess wear it. I think it will be of some benefit."
Although he didn't care, he thought about the many good things in the palace, so he was worried that the eldest princess would "waste resources".
Shang Zhi's words were vague, but the eldest princess kept them in her heart. She didn't know why, but she always felt an inexplicable sense of trust in Ji Rong and Shang Zhi.
Moreover, the last time I heard from my fourth brother, when they were in Dali Kingdom, Master Mingze was also very humble in front of the two of them.
Perhaps their level of cultivation is even higher than that of Master Mingze.
The eldest princess nodded and said, "Thank you, Master Shang."
After returning home, she will definitely find a reliable craftsman to polish it carefully.
Shang Zhi followed the eldest princess into the palace. Perhaps because Shang Zhi was by her side, the eldest princess no longer rode in the sedan chair. The sedan chair just swayed behind her.
Ever since her aunt left the palace, the eldest princess has mostly traveled in a sedan chair when entering the palace.
And we all went straight to the Palace of Honor, but I haven't seen the scenery inside the palace for a long time.
The few of them walked forward in silence. Although the eldest princess wanted to ask about Wanwan, when the words came to her lips, she didn't know what to ask.
She knew that with her aunt's ability, even if she lived alone with Wanwan in Yong'an County, she would be able to live a very smooth life.
He had not taken a few steps when he ran into Meng Quande, who was beside his father and was jogging towards the palace gate.
"Greetings to the eldest princess, greetings to Master Shang." He had never thought that Master Shang would actually run into the eldest princess. "His Majesty heard that Master Shang had returned to the palace, so he specially asked this old servant to take Master Shang to Yu's study."
The eldest princess glanced sideways at Shang Zhi, knowing that her father also attached great importance to Master Shang Ding. She thought that Ding also wanted to know something about Wanwan.
Since her aunt left the palace, the eldest princess heard that her father rarely went to the harem. Even if he went, he mostly visited Concubine Lan to comfort her for the hard work of managing the harem.
Even several new concubines who entered the palace were neglected by their father.
Because of this, the Empress Dowager became anxious and angry several times.
Seeing Meng Quande coming in person, the eldest princess said nothing more, but just smiled and nodded: "I happened to meet Mr. Shang at the palace gate, and heard that he came to look for the Empress Dowager, so I invited him to go with us."
"If the emperor wants to see Master Shang, then I will go and pay my respects to the Empress Dowager, and Master Shang can do as he pleases."
Shang Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly. He was actually unwilling to meet the Emperor of Great Chu.
I always feel that this mortal emperor is very fickle, and having so many concubines in the harem is a betrayal to Wanwan's mother.
