Chapter 25
"You big jerk." Rong Rong muttered to herself as she sat in the carriage, which looked ordinary on the outside but was luxurious on the inside, her face covered by a veil.
She clearly went to vent her anger on Prince Yu and wanted to leave, but instead, Prince Yu took advantage of her.
Ha, she says she doesn't get close to women, but in her eyes she's clearly an old pervert.
Rong Rong fiercely tore at the handkerchief in her hand, imagining that she was tearing apart the Prince Yu himself.
People who practice martial arts are amazing, they have such great stamina!
"I see you're not very satisfied with his strong physique, sexy pecs, and eight-pack abs, are you?" 666 asked sourly.
Rong Rong's body stiffened abruptly, and with a ripping sound, she finally tore the handkerchief in two.
"Hmph!" 666 crossed her arms, her heart filled with overwhelming jealousy.
"Your Highness, would you like to eat pig's trotters?" The maid Qingluo's voice suddenly came from outside the carriage.
Rong Rong was stunned, and then burst into tears, "You still want to eat Prince Yu? You bad person!" After saying that, she twisted her little body, waving her tears, and rushed into the small dark room.
"Sigh?" Rong Rong sighed helplessly. After experiencing the feeling of being in love for the first time, Rong Rong experienced the sweet troubles of raising a pet.
Sure enough, joining the Quick Transmigration Bureau was the right decision. A few months ago, she could never have imagined that her life would change so much.
Rong Rong smiled and instructed the carriage, "Go and take a look at the Treasure Pavilion."
The car remained silent for a short while before slowly coming to a stop.
"Your Highness, we have arrived."
Qingluo lifted the curtain, and Rongrong was helped down from the carriage. As soon as she entered the shop, the shopkeeper greeted her with a big smile.
Although the shopkeeper didn't know the identities of the group in front of him, his long experience in judging people told him that this group was no ordinary people.
Especially the veiled woman at the head of the group; her eyes alone could captivate anyone, not to mention her figure, demeanor, and the mysterious face beneath the veil.
Needless to say, she must be a top-tier beauty. Such a stunning beauty, regardless of her background, is bound to have an extraordinary future.
Beauty and attractiveness are also important assets for a person.
Rong Rong didn't pay much attention to the shopkeeper's attitude, and the servants who accompanied her were already used to being treated with care.
"Take my princess to the third floor for a look," Qingluo said first, and the shopkeeper immediately beamed with joy.
The third floor is a private area for distinguished guests to purchase jewelry. It consists of individual private rooms, each with a beaded curtain hanging at the entrance to prevent outsiders from seeing inside.
The waiter will bring the jewelry that the VIP wants to a private room for the VIP to choose and try on.
Of course, the jewelry that can be delivered to the third floor are all the store's prized possessions, which are not easily displayed outside, and their prices are naturally quite high.
Distinguished guests who come to the third floor cannot leave without spending hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.
The shopkeeper seemed to have already foreseen his soaring sales for the day. He courteously arranged for Rong Rong to sit down in a private room and immediately called for the waiter to quickly bring over the shop's prized items.
The bewildered shopkeeper didn't realize until he left the private room that the maid had called out to the princess.
Princess? Which prince's princess? The shopkeeper looked up in deep thought, unable to guess.
If he knew that she was Princess Yu, he would probably be trembling with shock and overjoyed, because he would be the first person in the entire capital and even the entire Daqian to see Princess Yu.
Rong Rong, who was in the private room, was dazzled by the jewelry in front of her.
She had always known that the craftsmanship of ancient artisans was extraordinary, but she never expected it to be so exquisite. Any one of the pieces displayed here could be displayed in a modern national museum.
She had only come out as an excuse to advance the mission, but at this moment Rong Rong had truly fallen in love with these jewels and was delighted that she had chosen to come to the Treasure Pavilion.
Although she can't take the things with her, it's still a pleasure to appreciate them.
Rong Rong looked at this and tried on that jewelry, while the waiter had long been chased out of the private room by the clever maids. Now only a few maids were left, watching Rong Rong, who was trying on jewelry, with fascination.
Help! I'm swooning over the princess's beauty every day!
Just as Rong Rong was having a great time, she suddenly heard loud talking from next door.
"Have you heard? Du Shaofeng, the eldest son of Vice Minister Du, has been ennobled as a marquis. This young marquis, barely twenty years old, is the first person in the history of the Great Gan Dynasty to achieve this!"
"I heard my mother mention that the former fool suddenly recovered and even became a marquis. Master Kongji is indeed worthy of his reputation."
"Did your mother only mention Du Shaofeng being granted a marquisate? Did she not mention anything else? Like... arranging a marriage between you and Marquis Du?"
No sooner had these words been spoken than a soft pounding sound was heard, accompanied by a series of pleas for mercy and giggles.
"I was wrong, I was wrong, I won't tease you anymore."
"Hmph, I don't believe your mother didn't have that plan!"
The two women laughed and joked for a while, then a deep sigh rang out.
"So what if he does? Everyone knows that Lord Du brought back an orphan girl. It's said that the two have been together day and night for a long time. Lord Du treats people very differently."
"Could it be that Lord Du would marry an orphan?"
"What's impossible? Lord Du is a favorite of the emperor, and his power is so great that only Prince Yu can barely suppress him. What does Lord Du want to do? Can the Du family really control him?"
"That's true."
"Huh? Lord Du had a wife before his accident. She ran away because she thought he was a fool. Do you think she regrets it? If she hadn't run away, she would be the Lady of the Marquis now!"
"Hehe." This was followed by bursts of laughter.
"If it were me, I'd regret it terribly!"
"That's for sure."
"By the way, who was that woman again?"
"She seems to be the daughter of the Rong family in Qinghe, what's her name, Rong Rong!"
......
Rong Rong didn't pay attention to what the two said after that. After her name came out of their mouths, the private room where Rong Rong was was instantly filled with a suffocating silence.
Because Rong Rong had been pretending to have amnesia, Prince Yu deliberately concealed her past marriage with Du Shaofeng from her. Unexpectedly, it was exposed by someone.
Qingluo and the maids didn't dare to breathe. They quickly knelt on the ground, heads bowed like quails, not daring to move, their bodies trembling slightly.
They were afraid of Rong Rong's anger, and even more afraid that Prince Yu would kill them if he found out everything.
The secret that Prince Yu specifically instructed to be kept was discovered by the Princess. How could these servants, who had not taken precautions, possibly survive?
At that moment, it felt as if the air had been sucked out instantly, as if a huge boulder was pressing down on me.
Time passed slowly; what seemed like only a few seconds to Rong Rong felt like several years to Qing Luo and the others.
Finally, Rong Rong's soft and warm voice rang out in the private room, "Get up quickly, don't be afraid, you will be alright."
It was salvation, it was heavenly music; on this day, the maids seemed to have seen a true goddess...
Unable to find an opportunity to get close to the male lead, Rong Rong returned to the palace in a sullen mood.
That evening, Prince Yu, who had finished his duties in court and came to have dinner with Rongrong, immediately noticed her worried expression.
Prince Yu remained calm and continued to gently and attentively serve Rong Rong food. After Rong Rong had finished eating, Prince Yu left the room.
Immediately afterwards, Prince Yu summoned his guards and asked what Rong Rong had encountered after leaving the manor that day.
And so, the matter that Rong Rong wanted to keep hidden and not mention to herself unexpectedly reached the ears of Prince Yu, while she was still unaware of it.
