Chapter 189: Old and faded? Falling out of favor?
the next day.
Xiao Jin looked radiant and went to court in a happy and satisfied mood.
An hour passed.
Yuntang held her waist, climbed onto the carriage, and immediately lay down on the soft pillow, calling Qinglan to rub her waist.
She gritted her teeth in anger, Xiao Jin is so shameless!
She tickled him, and he got even more aggressive!
Bite him, more exciting!
She clearly shouted "No", but Xiao Jin deliberately covered her mouth and then pretended to be innocent and said he didn't hear it.
Fuck you!
Yuntang deeply suspected that Xiao Jin wanted her to stay in bed and sleep until he came home from court.
That’s a nice thought!
Yuntang's eyes were full of pride and satisfaction.
He thought to himself: She is no longer the Yuntang from five years ago, who was frail and weak and couldn’t get up even if pushed down.
She has traveled far and wide, gained experience and honed herself, and now her physical strength and energy are excellent!
Not only can she get up, she can also go out!
Xiao Jin had no intention of trapping her in bed.
Yinlian reported softly, "Princess, we've arrived at Babaozhai."
"Okay, wait a minute." Yuntang sat up and stretched his body to stretch his muscles. He could hear the crackling sound of bones in his ears.
Qinglan was terrified: "Princess, are you okay?"
"You rubbed me all the way, I feel much better now! Let's go." Yuntang picked up the weft hat and put it on. The lavender veil fell down, covering her face.
Babaozhai is as luxurious and lively as it once was.
The shop opposite was still being renovated and cleaned. As soon as Yuntang walked in, Madam Xu and Aunt Dong came out to greet her.
Xu Yan brought a stool and said, "Aunt Tang, please sit down."
"Xu Yan, be good." Yun Tang smiled and touched Xu Yan's head.
Xu Yan leaned over to look behind her, but didn't find anyone, and his eyes became a little lonely.
"Are you looking for the baby? She and Dan'er have entered the palace."
Yuntang smiled and said, "When the baby comes back, you can come to the Regent's Palace to play with her."
"Well, thank you Aunt Tang."
"Yan'er, don't be rude. You must address her as princess." Madam Xu frowned and corrected her son.
Yun Tang raised his hand to interrupt her, "Madam Xu, there's no need for this. No matter who I am, our relationship remains the same, and I will keep my promise to you."
Yuntang raised the corner of his mouth and gestured to her: "Come with me."
Madam Xu was touched. She took a deep breath and gave Xu Yan some instructions, then followed Yuntang to the Babaozhai across the street.
In Babaozhai, even the maids and waiters were dressed in brocade clothes, looking bright and beautiful.
Madam Xu wore a coarse linen dress, but she didn't seem to be ashamed. She straightened her back, her face, weathered by the frost of time, calm. One could vaguely tell she had been well-educated.
"Princess." The proprietress of Babaozhai came out excitedly with a bright smile.
She wanted to salute, but Yuntang stopped her with a gesture.
The proprietress wisely lowered her voice and flattered, "It's been five years since we last met, Princess. You're even more beautiful than you were yesterday. Your beauty is unmatched!"
Yun Tang smiled and turned around to introduce: "Boss, this is Madam Xu."
Upon hearing this, the proprietress looked at Madam Xu with a burning gleam in her eyes!
She excitedly stepped forward and grabbed Madam Xu's hand, "I've heard of your fame for a long time! Today I finally have the honor of meeting you, Master!"
Madam Xu blushed, "No, no, no! I'm just a woman, how can I be worthy of the title of Master?"
"You are the Master!"
The proprietress was firm, her eyes blazing as she stared at her. "Ever since you sent your hand-crafted jewelry to Babaozhai six months ago, it's been a hot topic among the noble ladies of Kyoto!"
“Every piece was sold at a sky-high price!”
"The Prime Minister's wife and the old princess were urging me the other day, asking when Master Golden Butterfly's new jewelry will go on sale."
Hearing this, Madam Xu looked at Yuntang in embarrassment.
Yun Tang smiled and said, "Boss, the jewelry made by Madam Xu will no longer be sold at Babaozhai. Look, the Golden Butterfly Jewelry Shop across the street is opening in a few days. Boss, please take care of it."
The proprietress is also a very versatile and smart person.
Without saying a word, she patted her chest and promised, "Princess, please rest assured! I'll take care of it!"
Everyone in Kyoto knew that Babaozhai was the Regent's business. With the support of the proprietress of Babaozhai, the jewelry store was open for business.
What's more, the reputation of Golden Butterfly has long been spread. There is no need to worry about business.
Yuntang was very proud.
She's leveraging Xiao Jin's influence to make a killing! So cool!
"Madam Xu, let me take you around. You can find some inspiration at Babaozhai."
"good."
Seeing they had something to say, the proprietress tactfully chose not to follow them, but she cautiously and cleverly watched from a distance, ready to step forward and listen to Yuntang's instructions at any time.
Babaozhai is very large and luxurious.
Madam Xu had no interest in watching. She kept looking at Yuntang, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.
"Madam Xu, I treat you as a friend, so just say whatever you want to say."
"Princess, why are you helping me?"
Yun Tang paused, raised his hand to push aside the weft cap, and looked at her with complicated eyes: "You... look a lot like my mother."
Madam Xu was confused.
She couldn't believe her ears. Didn't they just say they were friends? How could they become like women so quickly?
"Well, don't get me wrong. I mean your experience is very similar to my mother's."
After Yun Tang finished explaining, his eyes turned cold: "I can't stand seeing a scumbag and a vicious woman enjoying such a glorious life! And you, the original wife, can only flee to the border with your child and live in misery."
Madam Xu's eyes instantly turned red and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Don't cry! You are my cash cow, I have to protect you!"
Yun Tang smiled and comforted her, "I'm the Regent Princess. It's easy to help you get revenge! Just one sentence can make this scumbag and this vicious woman kneel down and beg for mercy!"
"Bah! What regent princess? She's already old and out of favor!"
An arrogant and domineering female voice came from not far away.
Yuntang paused, Madam Xu glared angrily and clenched her fists, and they all turned their heads to look.
There was a group of beautiful girls who were choosing jewelry and talking arrogantly as if no one was around.
The girl in a goose yellow skirt has a pretty and elegant appearance, and a temper as proud as a swan, looking up at people.
She continued, "She's already given birth to two children. What charm can she still have? The Prince Regent must be disgusted with her and have no interest in her at all!"
"A man as majestic and powerful as the Regent deserves a beauty!"
She proudly gestured with her hairpin, "My father and brother told me there's going to be a banquet in the palace the day after tomorrow. I must dress beautifully so the regent will take a liking to me!"
The blue-dressed girl next to her advised her, "The Prince Regent already has a princess, so you can only be a concubine if you marry into the family."
"How short-sighted!" The girl rolled her eyes. "Everyone in Kyoto knows that the young emperor is a puppet, and the regent could ascend the throne at any moment! If I enter the palace, I'll be the imperial concubine in the future!"
"If I could be favored exclusively, who knows, the Regent might even make me his queen!"
She was daydreaming and grinning from ear to ear.
Another young woman in green couldn't help but retort, "Du Fang'er, stop dreaming! With the royalists around, the Regent may not be able to sit on the throne."
What are the Royalists?
Yuntang frowned when he heard this.
Madam Xu thought she was angry, and she felt sorry for her. She immediately rolled up her sleeves and rushed over. "Pa——"
