Chapter 243 Princess Yongqing leaves the palace

Princess Yongqing felt suffocated in the palace and felt that she was going to get sick. Since the emperor

's sister-in-law didn't come to the palace to see her, she would find a way to leave the palace to see the emperor's sister-in-law. After making up her mind, she pestered her mother to leave the palace to see the emperor's sister-in-law. Queen Song was also worried about her daughter-in-law who had not been seen for a long time, so she agreed after thinking about it.

Princess Yongqing went to the Empress Li Xianfei, who held the power in the harem, to beg to leave the palace to visit the emperor's sister-in-law to relax. Unexpectedly, Empress Li Xianfei agreed without hesitation, and smiled and asked Yongqing to take a message to the Princess of Qin, saying that the queen missed her too, and asked the Princess of Qin to come to the palace to play when she was free.

Yongqing was as excited as a bird that had been locked in a cage for a long time and finally flew out of the cage. He left the palace with two palace maids and Concubine Li Xian's warrant.

After checking the warrant, the eunuchs let her go. Princess Yongqing, who was walking out of the palace, looked up at the white clouds in the sky and exhaled, "The clouds outside the palace are whiter and softer!" The personal maid

Wanting smiled and said, "Princess, the white clouds you see inside and outside the palace are the same."

Another maid Hui'er smiled and said, "It's the same cloud, but the mood you have when you look at it is different, and the clouds in your eyes are also different." Princess Yongqing

nodded in agreement, "That's what I mean. Let's go and find the emperor's sister-in-law." After that, she got into the carriage escorted by four guards.

Not caring about the cold wind, Princess Yongqing ordered the cotton curtains to be lifted and the windows that were locked shut to be opened. With her head pressed against the car window, she was enjoying the bustle of the street.

The bustling crowds, the constant shouting of vendors, the vendors carrying red candied haws and reed stems, the steamed bun shops with steam rising from the door, the shops with various plaques, the noblemen riding tall horses, the three young girls walking hand in hand...

Princess Yongqing's eyes were not enough, and she was envious when she looked at the backs of the three girls. She was deeply touched by what the emperor's sister-in-law said: freedom is the happiest thing.

Princess Yongqing, who was full of expectations and longing, was almost depressed to death. Butler Zhao who came to greet her told her that the Princess of Qin had been living in a workshop on a farm outside the city, busy with business matters, and had not returned to the Prince of Qin's mansion for a long time.

Princess Yongqing, who was depressed and almost crying, left helplessly. She finally came out for a trip, but she didn't want to go back to the palace. The maid Wanting suggested, "Princess, we finally came out for a trip, let's go to the East Market!"

This was exactly what Princess Yongqing wanted. She closed the windows and told the coachman, and the carriage turned around and headed for the East Market. She made up her mind that it was the way back to the palace anyway, so she would not go back to the palace until dark. After getting

off the carriage in front of a golden building in the East Market, Princess Yongqing walked into the golden building with two close-fitting maids.

The first floor was full of cheap and ordinary goods. Princess Yongqing went straight to the third floor. Although she didn't have much money, she couldn't buy cheap jewelry because of her status.

The third floor was the VIP area, and it received the wives of high-ranking officials and wealthy families. The waiters had a warm smile with humility. Those who could come here were the nobles they couldn't afford to offend.

"Miss, you came at the right time. Our store has launched several new boutiques, all of which are finely crafted and novel. Would you like to take a look?"

The waiters on the third floor were all old employees with excellent eyesight. They saw that although this customer was unfamiliar, her temperament was definitely that of a noble lady of unparalleled status. The two maids beside her were also of extraordinary temperament and well-mannered. They were definitely not cultivated by a small family or a wealthy merchant family.

"Take it out and have a look!" Princess Yongqing said.

The set of ruby-inlaid headpieces on the fine red velvet in the tray was gorgeous and noble, attracting Princess Yongqing's attention. "Shopkeeper, how much is this set of ruby ​​​​shakes?"

The noble visit was replaced by the shopkeeper's reception. The shopkeeper in his fifties said respectfully with a professional smile on his face: "Reporting to this lady, this set of ruby ​​headpieces is a new model of our store. The design is unique and the workmanship is fine. The price is 16,000 taels of silver."

: "Sixteen thousand taels?" Princess Yongqing took a breath, "Too expensive, I can't afford it."

The shopkeeper's humble smile disappeared immediately, and a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes, "Miss, there are no cheap goods on the third floor. If you want to buy cheap jewelry, you'd better move to the first floor!"

The man's contempt and contempt were hanging on his face, and the palace maid Wanting was unwilling. Her pretty face turned cold, "Shopkeeper, how can you talk? My lady is of unparalleled status, and you want us to buy those cheap jewelry on the first floor?"

The shopkeeper curled his lips, "Those cheap jewelry on the first floor are much better than those on the street stalls outside, but I'm afraid you can't afford it."

: "How dare you! You really look down on others. Is there a businessman like you?" Wanting scolded angrily.

: "Okay, okay! Wanting, we finally come out to go shopping, don't be so idle! Let's go somewhere else." Princess Yongqing stopped Wanting magnanimously.

Wanting reluctantly suppressed her anger, "Yes! Miss, let's go somewhere else to buy jewelry, and not get angry with this dog-eyed servant."

This golden building is the property of the Shi family. The shopkeeper is used to taking advantage of the power of the people. Seeing that the maid of this poor lady actually scolded her dog servant, the shopkeeper who is the dog servant of the Shi family couldn't help but get angry. : "How can you talk like that? Your poor pockets are jingling. Can you just enter this golden building?"

: "Dog slave! Do you want to be beaten?" The palace maid Hui'er couldn't help getting angry.

"Oh! Isn't this Princess Yongqing? Why did you come out of the palace to visit the Golden Tower?"

A sweet voice rang out, and two graceful ladies lifted the pearl curtain of the partition, greeted Princess Yongqing with a smile, and came forward to bow.

Princess Yongqing recognized the people and said, "No need to be polite, Miss Luo, Miss Li, I'm just strolling around. Are you here to buy jewelry?"

The shopkeeper was so scared that he fell to his knees with a "thump" and kowtowed to beg for mercy, "Princess, I have no knowledge of Mount Tai. I have offended you with my words. Please spare my life!..."

Luo Ruixue looked at him coldly and said, "You are a dog servant who has no knowledge of Mount Tai. You dare to be disrespectful to Princess Yongqing. You are really asking for death." "

That's right! You dare to offend the princess. Is your head tired of carrying it?" Li Jiaqi, the concubine of Li Jieke, the Minister of Industry, also scolded angrily.

The shopkeeper kowtowed repeatedly, and his forehead was bleeding. He begged for mercy again and again.

Princess Yongqing waved her hands generously, "Forget it, why bother with a servant? Miss Luo, Miss Li, you continue to pick things, I'll go out for a walk."

Luo Ruixue stepped forward and held Princess Yongqing's hand affectionately, "Princess Yongqing, you don't leave the palace easily, it's not easy to see you. Today we have a chance, and we have nothing else to do, so I'll accompany you to stroll around the East Market?"

Li Jiaqi also said affectionately, "Yes! Princess, anyway, we have nothing else to do, so I'll accompany you to stroll around the streets to prevent you from being offended by some blind servants."

Seeing the two people's intimate attitude, the lonely Princess Yongqing nodded, "Okay! Then I'll trouble you two."

Luo Ruixue wanted to buy the set of ruby ​​inlaid headpiece and give it to Princess Yongqing.

Princess Yongqing was very principled in this regard and said she didn't want anything, so Luo Ruixue could only give up helplessly.

The three young girls chattered and laughed all the way, strolled through various shops, had tea and rest in the teahouse, bought all kinds of snacks on the street to satisfy their appetite, and had a special delicacy at the most upscale restaurant for lunch. It was not until it was almost dark that they said goodbye to each other and went home. Before leaving

, Princess Yongqing asked them to come to the palace to play with her when they were free, and Luo Ruixue and Li Jiaqi smiled and agreed.

Then, the two of them would go to the palace together every now and then to chat and play with Princess Yongqing. They were both girls of similar age, and after three or five times, Princess Yongqing, who was lonely in the deep palace, had two good friends.
