Chapter 43 Who Borrowed Whose Light
"Greetings, Lady Wen Shu."
Nangong Yu was very polite and bowed to her.
But before Pu Qiongzhi could continue talking to her, the other party turned around and left.
Pu Qiongzhi looked at her back with some surprise, not knowing why.
Gongsun Ying came over at some point and asked, "You're being ignored, aren't you?"
"Greetings, Her Royal Highness the Princess." Pu Qiongzhi saluted.
Gongsun Ying touched his chin and said, "Nangong Yu has a very arrogant personality."
"Don't look at her lonely life, but deep down, she still looks down on your splendor!"
"What's that?" Pu Qiongzhi was surprised.
"They dislike you being a merchant, and they dislike us being money-minded and vulgar." Gongsun Ying explained, shaking his head.
Pu Qiongzhi nodded slightly. "Yes, it's a bit vulgar. But this girl is also a talented woman, right?"
"Right. I heard that she knows the laws by heart. If she were a man, she would definitely be a good material for being a censor!" Gongsun Ying said quietly, his emotions unclear.
Pu Qiongzhi looked at Nangong Yu, who was alone in a secluded corner admiring the cranes, and asked, "Why is she so lonely?"
"We'll talk about it later." Gongsun Ying caught a glimpse of someone approaching and turned away.
Fang Miaozhu, wearing a green dress, bowed to Pu Qiongzhi and said, "My dear lady, it's been a long time since we last met."
"Miss Fang looks so pretty today. She is indeed better than her teacher." Pu Qiongzhi said with a double entendre, praising her clothes.
She had chosen this for Fang Miaozhuo and showed it off to her when she came to the store, selling it to her at almost cost price.
Pu Qiongzhi was naturally very satisfied with her own vision.
"Thank you, my lady. Your elegance is truly extraordinary, and the rest pale in comparison."
Pu Qiongzhi smiled and did not comment on what she said.
After several months of separation, Fang Miaozhu also learned to compliment others, and it is true that a man is loved even after three days of absence.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Fang Miaozhu hesitated for a while before saying, "I offended you before at the manor. I apologize to you again."
"What happened on the farm? I have forgotten it a long time ago." Pu Qiongzhi saw that she wanted to reconcile, so she was willing to let her.
Fang Miaozhu felt a little relieved when she heard her say that, but she became alert again.
Pu Qiongzhi was a vengeful person and not someone who was easy to talk to. However, saving face was enough.
"I sincerely want to apologize to you, my lady, and have specially prepared a gift for you. I hope you can accept it." As she spoke, she took out an exquisitely crafted doll.
Pu Qiongzhi almost lost control, but luckily she always managed to hold the doll in her arms. She took the doll and said, "Wow! It's so exquisite!"
"What's the difference between this and a real doll? It's so pretty! Miss Fang is so thoughtful."
As she spoke, she turned around to show it to Concubine Ru.
Nangong Han naturally wouldn't refuse her this favor, but she also really liked the doll.
"Where did you get this? It's so delicately made, and the eyes are so bright!" She couldn't hide her love in her voice.
Pu Qiongzhi saw that her expression was not fake, so she turned around and asked, "Miss Fang, this... may I lend you a flower to offer to the Buddha?"
"Of course you can. The gift given to Madam Gong is hers, and she can deal with it as she pleases! It's a blessing for her to be liked by the Imperial Concubine!" Fang Miaozhu was also very sensible, and she raised her voice a little to make sure that everyone around could hear it.
Everyone's attention was drawn to the movement here.
Even if they don't pay attention to Fang Miaozhu, they have to take care of Concubine Ru, after all, she is the top priority.
Pu Qiongzhi saw that everyone was looking over here, so she asked with a lingering look, "Where did Miss Fang buy this doll? I want to buy one for myself too."
"If you like it, I can make another one for you. This is a collaboration between me and a shop called "Playwrights". It specializes in selling all kinds of dolls and puppets. The shop is in the south of the city." Fang Miaozhu immediately turned into an advertiser and started promoting it.
Pu Qiongzhi was very pleased to see that she spared no effort to increase the popularity of the shop.
It was worth it for her to accompany her to set up the stage and perform, with Fang Miaozhu always at her beck and call. She was just waiting to see how much money she could get in the future!
Fang Miaozhu was secretly delighted that today was so smooth. She used Pu Qiongzhi to sell the doll.
She thought that it was because Pu Qiongzhi had some kind of halo, so as long as what she thought in her heart would not hinder the other party, she could also benefit from it and borrow this halo.
But she could never have imagined that all this was a process that Pu Qiongzhi had already anticipated.
Not to mention all the preparation, even the poetry meeting was intended by Pu Qiongzhi to promote the products in her shop.
She stood next to the noble and imposing Concubine Ru, dressed in plain clothes, which made her look pitiful, but without any delicate or artificial demeanor, which was just right.
Many ladies of high rank were attracted by her outfit and prepared to go back to Pu's shop to take a look.
They had become accustomed to the fact that whenever Lady Wen Shu appeared in public, she would wear Pu's new products.
After understanding this routine, everyone can see the effect in advance from Pu Qiongzhi.
Moreover, Pu’s shop has other styles, so there is no need to pick up the styles and patterns left over from Pu Qiongzhi.
In this way, everyone is naturally willing to pay money to buy it.
"This Ru Guifei..." Gongsun Ying whispered in Pu Qiongzhi's ear, asking her, "Did you help her up?"
"Well. After all, we are a family, and we all want to live a better life." Pu Qiongzhi said,
Gongsun Ying curled his lips and said, "Thank goodness for my brother's health, it's really not easy for him to have a child at this age."
"Your Majesty is in good health. This is a good thing that the whole country should celebrate!" Pu Qiongzhi said this with genuine joy in her tone.
Gongsun Ying's eyes widened slightly, and he looked at Pu Qiongzhi in surprise, "I didn't expect you to have such a heart."
"Let's not talk about that. Those storytellers you found only tell clichés... The teacher taught us all these stories in school. I've heard them so many times that my ears are callused!"
"It's okay. We'll find a solution soon." Pu Qiongzhi looked at Fang Miaozhu and Pei Wanqing with a smile.
Gongsun Ying got a headache seeing her mysterious look.
Well, here she comes again. She never speaks properly at this time!
…
This was the first time Pei Wanqing looked Fang Miaozhu in the eye.
In all her memories of her previous life, there was no such person.
She just heard the conversation between the other party and Pu Qiongzhi.
In other words, it was surprising enough that she, a merchant woman with no background or identity, could enter the palace and participate in a poetry meeting.
If such a woman appeared in the past, Pei Wanqing would at most be interested.
But now that the talent show is approaching, such a brilliant woman is nothing more than a sparrow who wants to fly to the branch!
Pei Wanqing stepped forward and started chatting with Fang Miaozhu, "I've never met this sister before?"
"Princess Jiaoyang doesn't know yet, right? This is the owner of Yuelai Inn." Princess Roujia saw the hustle and bustle here and quickly joined in, fearing that the world would not be in chaos.
