Chu Weiyue stood in front of the stall, selecting carefully and earnestly.
The stalls sold rouge and powder in beautiful colours, as well as shades similar to contour powder.
Compared with those in Beijing, the variety here is more complete.
There is also a light fragrance, and you can tell at a glance that it is purely handmade with no additives.
Just when Chu Weiyue was picking with great interest, a well-dressed young man from a wealthy family came up behind her.
Looking at Chu Weiyue's beautiful profile, I couldn't help swallowing.
He took out a fan, unfolded it, and fanned it gently, revealing a gentle and elegant smile.
Because his fan had a fragrance, Chu Weiyue couldn't help but look to the side.
The man was so close to her that the two of them almost bumped into each other.
She couldn't help but take a step back and glared at him coldly.
"Don't you have eyes when you walk? It's so wide here, why do you have to get close to me?"
Chu Weiyue put his hands on his waist and pointed at his nose in a show of power.
People like this are obviously scum at first glance.
He looked like a rich young man in terms of his dress, but his smile was vulgar.
Especially the action of deliberately getting closer to me just now, it was clearly an opportunity to take advantage of me.
If she hadn't reacted strongly just now, he would have definitely pressed the issue further.
The man looked Chu Weiyue up and down and could tell that her accent was from another place.
So he became bolder and lifted his fan to flick Chu Weiyue's chin.
"You are quite fierce, little girl, but I like your fierce look. Why don't you accompany me to the inn next door? This young master has plenty of money."
He took out a thick stack of silver bills from his pocket and tried to put it into Chu Weiyue's hands.
Chu Weiyue rolled his eyes in dissatisfaction. Since he was willing to pay, let him spend the money today!
She grabbed the banknotes and threw them toward the sky.
"Everyone hurry up and grab it, this young master is generous and will give us rewards. Let's go to the inn with him and sit down. He will give us more money..."
These people squatted on the ground in a swarm and began to scramble for the banknotes, some even tore the banknotes in half.
The man was shaking with anger and clenched his fists.
Pointing at Chu Weiyue's nose, he scolded her harshly, "You woman are really ungrateful. This young master invited you in a nice way, but you refused to accept my toast."
"That can't be helped. I have a problem. I don't like to eat anything but I like to drink wine!"
"Okay, in that case, don't blame me for being rude. You must come back with me today."
His actions were quite brutal. He grabbed Chu Weiyue's wrist and was about to take her away.
Chu Weiyue's rage instantly reached the top of his head, and he slapped him hard in the face several times.
He picked up a few eggs nearby and smashed them on his head.
The man had no time to defend himself and his head was covered with fishy and sticky eggs.
She was originally wearing an exquisite white robe, but now it was dirty and looked disgusting.
"You are such a hottie, do you really think that I can't do anything to you today?"
He called over a few of his men nearby, and they stood in front of Chu Weiyue, blocking her way.
Chu Weiyue didn't want to provoke this kind of local bully.
When she saw that the people took the money, none of them dared to run away, but instead returned all the banknotes to him.
From this we can see that his status and position are definitely extraordinary.
However, no matter how domineering and overbearing he is, he can never be higher-ranking than himself.
Chu Weiyue held his head high with arrogance, not taking him seriously at all.
"There's no way I can go with you today. I advise you to be careful and not to fail to recognize the great man. Otherwise, you will only bring disaster upon yourself."
This made the man laugh instantly. "Hearing what you said, I feel like you have another identity. Could it be that you are the Queen?"
The men burst into laughter and treated it as a complete joke.
Chu Weiyue ignored them and took out a jade pendant.
"Look carefully, I am the Ninth Prince's princess! This jade pendant belongs to him, you should all recognize it."
Anyone who is a member of the royal family will have something that symbolizes their status, and every prince has one of these jade pendants.
When she was in the capital, she saw someone selling the same shape at a stall.
So she didn't believe that this young man from a wealthy family would not recognize this object since ordinary people could recognize it.
After a moment's pause, the man suddenly burst into laughter, and the people around him burst into laughter as well.
Chu Weiyue frowned depressedly.
What's wrong with these people? Are they not afraid even if she reveals her identity? Are they really so arrogant?
The man held his stomach with his hands and laughed, pointing at Chu Weiyue's nose and clicking his tongue.
"Do you think she is a princess? How can she be the princess of the Ninth Prince? Even if the Ninth Prince really came here with the princess, she can't be a woman as unruly and willful as you.
To be honest, I once played Cuju with the Ninth Prince, and my father even drank with him. We are not friends, but we are acquaintances. His mother is the younger sister of my mother's cousin..."
The relationship he described was complicated and Chu Weiyue had no idea, but it was just a relationship.
She was so disgusted that she almost vomited. "How dare you say such a thing? Don't you know that the Ninth Prince just got married and was assigned to the fiefdom of Jiangnan? We came here for one dollar, and I am his legitimate wife, Chu Weiyue!"
Chu Weiyue held his head high and chest out, and announced his identity openly.
She had just said it, but the man didn't believe it.
Even if she said it ten times, they still didn't believe it, but laughed even more arrogantly.
One of them took out an identical jade pendant.
"You are like this, but you still want to be my princess. Do you believe that I am the emperor? The emperor also has this jade pendant, and mine is exactly the same as the emperor's. Am I the emperor?"
"What a joke! If you want to buy this kind of jade pendant, you can buy many similar ones with one tael of silver. Don't think you can pretend to be a princess just because you have this kind of thing. Don't even consider your own worth."
…
These people were very vicious and wanted to press Chu Weiyue to the ground and rub her.
This time, Chu Weiyue had met his match.
It's true that when a scholar meets a soldier, he can't explain himself clearly!
She didn't intend to reason with them. Since they didn't believe her, there was no way they would let her go.
At a time like this, the most important thing is to protect yourself first, and then settle the score with them later.
Just when Chu Weiyue wanted to turn around and leave, they grabbed her arms and the man hugged her with wild laughter.
"Why are you leaving, my little beauty? Let me hold you tight. I'll take you home later and let you be my concubine... Don't worry, I'm the most caring person and will definitely make you want to die..."
The other men followed suit and helped to take Chu Weiyue away.
Chu Weiyue's face turned red. If she was caught by them, the consequences would be disastrous!
