Chapter 451 Crying
After Chu Mingyu got the drawings that Jiang Tangtang gave her, she quickly found a glass workshop to place an order, and then found someone to rush to make the cabinet frame.
Soon, the uniquely shaped glass cabinet was put on the shelves of Jiuxia Silver Shop.
In the transparent glass cabinet, there are sparkling gold and silver jewelry, the scene is so shocking.
Mu Wanning fell in love with it at first sight and wanted to move the entire silver building back to the Dayao Palace.
The staff at Jiuxia Silver Shop were all professionally trained and had seen a lot of big events. They weren't surprised by Mu Wanning's demand to buy an entire cabinet of jewelry.
The waiter showed his standard eight teeth at the corners of his mouth, "Sir, these jewels are worth a total of 33,000 taels of gold."
The palace maids who were following nearby changed their expressions when they heard the number of 33,000 taels of gold.
The princess was pampered and might not know what 33,000 taels of gold meant, but she knew it very well.
They came to Daming this time to do something important.
There were many places to spend money, and at that time, a boat was hit by a whale on the sea, and a lot of things were lost.
She asked to buy something worth tens of thousands of taels of gold. He was really afraid that His Majesty would spoil the princess to his head, so he agreed to buy it for the princess.
Cold sweat broke out on his back, and he hesitated whether to remind His Majesty.
Fortunately, Mu Yuchong is not confused.
They were dressed as businessmen this time. Businessmen have money, but ordinary businessmen would never buy such expensive things without blinking an eye.
He frowned slightly, revealing a hint of displeasure as he asked, "Why is it so expensive? Are you deliberately raising the price because we're merchants from out of town?"
Mu Yuchong had been an emperor for many years, and there was a sense of power between his eyebrows. Even though he was deliberately restraining himself to pretend to be a businessman, the small movement of his frown just now still made the young man's heart tremble.
However, he quickly regained his composure and explained with a smile, "Sir, we run our shop honestly, but we would never do such a thing. It's really because you've taken a fancy to this item, which is our treasure."
As he spoke, he took out the gem-studded headpiece from the counter and carefully showed it to the few people, saying, "Sir, please look at the gems on this headpiece.
This is no ordinary gem, it is the finest gem, cut using magical techniques. In the entire country, only our Jiuxia Silver Shop has such a gem.
We only have one headpiece inlaid with such a gemstone in our Jiuxia Silver Shop."
Mu Yuchong looked carefully at the waiter's expression.
Judging from his actions and tone, it seemed like this was really happening, and not someone was deliberately using this to find out their identities.
His gaze returned to the diamond on his head. "Are you saying this was cut using immortal techniques?"
The waiter said with some pride, "Indeed, this gem was cut by our Immortal Emperor himself! Handcrafted by the Immortal Emperor, and cut using immortal techniques, such an exquisite gem must be priceless. You can buy it back as a family heirloom for only a few tens of thousands of taels of gold. It's truly worth every penny."
Mu Yuchong narrowed his eyes. "Since it was made by the Immortal Emperor himself, it should be carefully preserved, right? Why is it being sold here? Isn't this disrespectful to the Immortal Emperor?"
Faced with Mu Yuchong's obvious difficulty, the waiter did not panic, "I guess this guest has just arrived from another country, right? You don't know that our Immortal Emperor is different from ordinary emperors..."
So the guy talked about how Jiang Tangtang was humble and how he cared about people's livelihood.
The guy said a lot of good things about Jiang Tangtang.
This is a common problem among many common people. They like Jiang Tangtang as the emperor from the bottom of their hearts, and once they start saying good things about Jiang Tangtang, they can't stop.
Although this would help him get more information, as a fellow emperor, Mu Yuchong felt inexplicably jealous and unhappy when he heard people praising another emperor like this.
He had visited the people in disguise before, but he had never heard the people praise him like this.
He believed that he was no worse than Jiang Tangtang, the newly appointed emperor.
At the beginning, he just wanted to occupy this vast land for the sake of profit.
But now, he felt deeply curious about this emperor whom he had never met.
What kind of emperor was it that made the people praise him so highly?
Mu Wanning was so happy to see that her father didn't buy her jewelry, but instead talked about another woman with a clerk.
She angrily yelled at the waiter, "Why are you talking so much nonsense, young man? We're here to buy jewelry, not to listen to your bragging! I'm so fed up. Okay, I don't want it anymore."
After saying that, she raised her hand, pushed the jewelry on the display case, turned around and rushed out.
As she moved, a fine headpiece fell to the ground.
Mu Yuchong didn't care about the fallen headgear and chased out quickly, leaving his followers to deal with it.
The palace maid looked like she wanted to cry but had no tears.
Now that’s good, I have to buy it even if I don’t want to.
Finally, the palace maid sent someone back to the ship, carrying two large boxes full of silver, and bought the headdress.
Before the silver was brought over, the palace people were kept in the shop.
No one would go shopping with several boxes of silver, so they naturally didn't bring any.
He broke someone else's things, and the gems on them were shining brightly, the brightest they had ever seen. It looked really precious, and it didn't seem like he was deliberately trying to cheat them.
In the end, I had no choice but to admit defeat and pay the money.
On the other side, Mu Wanning burst into tears after rushing out of the silver shop. She didn't know why she was crying.
But when she thought of her father's focused and serious eyes when he listened to the waiter talking about that damn empress, she felt sour and wanted to cry.
When Mu Yuchong chased out, he saw his daughter running around without a care in the world, and was about to be hit by a galloping horse. His heart almost jumped out of his chest.
At this time, he didn't care about revealing his identity, and he didn't expect that there were secret guards accompanying them. Even if he didn't take action, the secret guards would protect his daughter and prevent her from getting hurt.
He rushed over, pulled Mu Wanning away, and avoided the galloping horses.
Mu Yuchong wanted to scold his daughter, only to find that her face was covered with tears. "Why are you crying?"
Mu Wanning couldn't explain why she was crying. She just felt a soreness in her chest. She hated the way her father looked at other women.
But she couldn't say it.
She even felt vaguely that what she was doing was wrong. She buried her head in her father's arms and cried even harder.
Mu Yuchong just thought that his daughter was frightened and couldn't bear to blame her for being reckless.
He patted her back repeatedly and comforted her, "Don't cry, I won't punish you. Don't run around again next time. You're almost looking for a consort, why are you still acting like a child, so reckless?"
Mu Wanning cried even harder.
