A young girl stepped forward excitedly, "Mom, this is the set! Wait, where did the other things go?"
The girl looked at the empty glass platform and turned to the waiter who had brought them up, asking, "Where are the things here?"
"Please wait a moment, esteemed guest." The waiter remembered that the jade ornament was still here when he went downstairs, so how did it suddenly disappear?
The waiter looked around and saw another waiter holding a large, exquisite box, standing in front of the counter, ready to process the payment.
"I'm so sorry, esteemed guest, that set has already been sold. Would you like to take a look at some other options?" the waiter said apologetically to Xu Yingying.
"Bought it? Didn't you just say it was still there?" Xu Yingying frowned slightly. That set of jade ornaments was the most beautiful. What other set here could compare to it?
"When I went downstairs just now, the items were indeed still here, but they have now been bought by another distinguished customer," the waiter said apologetically, pointing to the group of people paying over there.
Xu Yingying glanced at the waiter, then looked at the people over there. She felt that one of the figures looked familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before.
"Mom, wait a moment, I'll go talk to him and see if we can have that set of things." Xu Yingying said, and walked towards the counter.
My sister has always loved jade jewelry, and she's had her eye on this set for a long time. If it weren't for my sister's return this time, my mother would never have agreed to let her come and buy it. She's determined to get this set of jade jewelry.
"Hello, excuse me..." Before Xu Yingying could finish speaking, she saw the man in front of her turn around, and it turned out to be the Prince of Nanqing.
"This humble woman greets the Prince of Nanqing." Xu Yingying was taken aback at first, then bowed to He Liufeng.
Madam Xu, who was on the other side, naturally noticed the situation here. Upon hearing her daughter's voice, she came over and bowed to He Liufeng when she saw him, saying, "This humble woman greets the Prince of Nanqing."
"Madam Xu, Miss Xu, no need for formalities." He Liufeng raised his hand slightly, not expecting that the wife and daughter of Grand Tutor Xu would also come here to buy things.
Xu Yingying and Madam Xu stood up. Xu Yingying glanced at the waiter standing next to He Liufeng and the box in his hand.
"Your Highness, does this box contain the set of jade ornaments that were kept over there?" Xu Yingying asked tentatively. It wasn't that she was being too direct, but rather that if she didn't speak up, He Liufeng would simply pay and take it away.
He Liufeng looked in the direction Xu Yingying pointed, and there was the jade ornament he had just taken.
"yes."
"Your Highness, would you be willing to give me this set of jade ornaments?"
"Yingying!" Madam Xu was surprised that her daughter was so bold as to snatch something that the Prince of Nanqing had his eye on, and immediately scolded her in a low voice.
“No, I’ve already bought this set.” He Liufeng shook his head. First come, first served. He didn’t snatch it from someone else, so why should he give it to someone else?
After He Liufeng finished speaking, he looked at the person behind the counter.
The man didn't recognize the Prince of Nanqing at all. But when someone called out the name of the man in front of him, he immediately said, "Your Highness, this set will cost two thousand five hundred taels of silver."
Two thousand five hundred taels was not a small sum, but He Liufeng didn't care. He took out a silver note from his pocket, handed it to the person in front of him, and then turned and left.
Xu Yingying and Madam Xu were left standing there.
Xu Yingying stared at He Liufeng's back, extremely annoyed. "It's all my fault. If I had saved up enough money earlier, this set of jade ornaments wouldn't have been bought by someone else."
"It's alright, Yingying, let's look at other things. There must be other beautiful jade ornaments here. We can buy them for your sister." Madam Xu didn't expect that the item Xu Yingying had her eye on would be bought by someone else so coincidentally, and that person was none other than the Prince of Nanqing.
“But that set is the prettiest and most suitable for you, sister.” Xu Yingying pouted.
"Let's look at the others," Mrs. Xu said with a smile, comforting her daughter.
The waiter immediately spoke up, "Madam, Miss, why don't you take a look at this set? This set of jade ornaments is also extremely beautiful."
The mother and daughter could only look at other sets, but after looking around, Xu Yingying still felt that none of them could compare to the one they had just seen. However, that set had already been sold, so the two of them had to choose another set before leaving.
He Liufeng was carrying his belongings and was heading towards the post station when he ran into Ren Nuanyun on the way.
"Your Highness? This humble woman greets Your Highness." Ren Nuanyun bowed to He Liufeng, slightly bending her knees and lowering her eyes, revealing her fair profile and slender neck at just the right moment.
Ren Nuanyun was wearing a white dress again today, with her hair styled in a simple bun, adorned only with a white jade hairpin.
A gentle breeze blew by, causing Ren Nuanyun's skirt to flutter slightly. Combined with her current appearance, she looked both delicate and stubborn, refined yet aloof.
"Get up." Unexpectedly, He Liufeng only glanced at Ren Nuanyun casually before walking past her and leaving.
Ren Nuanyun stood up, intending to turn around and look at He Liufeng, but she couldn't even see He Liufeng's back.
Ren Nuanyun was furious. She had gone to great lengths to find out He Liufeng's plans for the day and had even changed her clothes to come and bump into him. But she never expected that he would leave without even looking at her.
A fierce glint flashed in Ren Nuanyun's eyes. It seemed that the task of winning over He Liufeng would not be completed for the time being. How infuriating.
Chunyi shise glanced at Ren Nuanyun, then lowered her head again. She didn't know why Ren Nuanyun had come out today, or even come here.
However, thinking about the banquet tonight, Ren Nuanyun had another idea.
Autumn days always pass quickly; in the blink of an eye, it's evening.
Qingdai helped Qu Qingxi change into the princess's attire. The deep purple long dress was the perfect thickness, and she wore a set of purple hair accessories. Qu Qingxi then carefully did her makeup.
After tidying everything up, Qu Qingxi stood up. There was no full-length mirror here, only a bronze mirror about the size of a computer screen. Qu Qingxi asked Qingdai to hold the mirror, and then she lifted her skirt and turned around in front of the mirror.
Seeing the person in the mirror spinning around with her, Qu Qingxi was very satisfied. The original owner of the body had a very good foundation, and her appearance and figure were no worse than her own in modern times.
Previously, she had been unable to get enough to eat and was often blamed, resulting in malnutrition, a weak physique, and a sallow complexion. Fortunately, Qu Qingxi has fully recovered during this period.
With her supple skin, sparkling eyes, and moist red lips, she was breathtakingly beautiful to behold.
"Your Highness, you are becoming more and more beautiful." Qingdai looked at Qu Qingxi in front of her with eyes full of admiration. She had seen many noble ladies in the capital, but she had never seen anyone like the princess before.
Qingdai felt that if she were a man, she would definitely fall in love with the princess.
