Chapter 294 Prince Yu’s Thoughts
The corners of Song Ci's mouth twitched, and he looked really annoying, but who could blame him for being Prince Yu? He had a good father, so he could do whatever he wanted.
Finally, after careful selection, the two of them finally chose a pair of jade bracelets. Prince Yu finally forgave himself, put away the fan, and knocked on the table. "These bracelets are quite good. Compared with those inferior things before, they are much more pleasing to the eye."
Song Ci didn't mind the other party's words, "Boss, how much is this bracelet?"
The shopkeeper was about to speak when he saw Prince Yu looking at him with a smile. He smoothly discounted the price at his lips and said, "This bracelet is destined to be with you, young lady. In that case, I'll give you one hundred and fifty taels. You can take it with you."
When he said this, Song Ci seemed to see the shopkeeper's bleeding heart. He swallowed hard and handed over one hundred and eighty taels. "Shopkeeper, you have to take it. We have been choosing for a long time and have delayed your other business. And you are very satisfied with this bracelet."
The shopkeeper's eyes were filled with tears instantly. What a good person! This girl is such a good person!
There are still many good people in this world, unlike someone...
He was about to glare at Prince Yu, but the other party seemed to be waiting for him. He turned his head and met those peach blossom eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. The shopkeeper immediately put on his signature smile and said, "You two distinguished guests have good taste."
Prince Yu then waved his fan, followed Song Ci and walked away.
Song Ci's carriage broke down, and the coachman was responsible for taking the carriage back for repairs. Prince Yu offered to take her back, and Song Ci agreed without hesitation.
It was already late, and she had just offended the ruthless Mrs. Pei, so it was better to be cautious.
Wanxiang helped her walk up, and when they entered the carriage, they felt it was even more gorgeous than anything they had seen before.
Prince Yu smiled proudly and said, "Why, my carriage is quite nice, isn't it? Miss Song is so fascinated by it."
I really like Song Dynasty porcelain, but I still feel a little embarrassed when it is exposed. Who doesn’t like gorgeous and beautiful things!
She had lived her life over again, and she had already figured it out: if she made others suffer, she couldn't make herself suffer. Otherwise, why would she live her life over again?
"Prince Yu's carriage is indeed luxurious."
"It's okay, it only cost four hundred taels...it's not a lot of money."
Song Ci felt so nauseous when he heard this. Just four hundred taels? ? He knew that an ordinary person couldn't earn that much money in a lifetime!
"I do have some business skills. I own quite a few businesses, all of which I earned myself."
"Did you earn it yourself?" Song Ci suddenly became interested and discussed business with Prince Yu again. Needless to say, as a powerful person, Prince Yu knew much more news than Song Ci and Zhang Baiwan. For example, recently there was a flood in the court because the road from the south to the north was very difficult this year. He had prepared silver early and had people transport various things that the powerful people liked to sell at high prices.
This made Song Ci look at him with a higher opinion. It was better to make money from the powerful than from the common people. If he made money by relying on food, the things that the common people relied on for survival, Song Ci would immediately ask to get off for these gorgeous carriages.
The two of them continued their discussion until they were almost at the Song family residence, when Prince Yu casually mentioned, "I think Miss Song has also met my sister today?"
"Yes."
"She told you that her mother wanted to choose a prince consort for her."
"Princess Le Yi did mention it."
Prince Yu raised his eyebrows, as if with deep meaning, "Mother is not only looking after her. With the Crown Prince's wedding, Mother has also begun to prepare for my own wedding."
Just when Song Ci was about to ask what this matter had to do with her, she met Prince Yu's pair of sparkling peach blossom eyes. These eyes were so affectionate that they could even look at a dog, but the other party seemed unaware of it and stared at Song Ci with burning eyes.
Just when she was about to feel uncomfortable being looked at, Prince Yu suddenly laughed and said, "Just now, I saw that Miss Song seemed to be in a dilemma. It seems difficult to choose between the Pei family or the rising star, Master Lin."
Song Ci was silent for a while, then said, "I haven't thought about getting married yet."
Prince Yu raised his eyebrows, but did not really believe it. These two men were good husbands that were hard to find in the capital, and now they were placed in front of Song Ci for her to choose. Why did she still look embarrassed?
Could it be that they all look down on it?
His heartbeat suddenly quickened a bit, and he said in a nonchalant tone, "Since Miss Song doesn't like them, then, what do you think of me?"
Song Ci was startled by his face suddenly approaching her and stepped back, pressing her body tightly against the carriage behind her.
Wanxiang protected her and said, "Prince Yu, I'm afraid this is not appropriate."
Prince Yu didn't look at her, but continued to stare at Song Ci.
"Prince Yu is of noble status and is highly regarded by the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine. Naturally, he can act freely and unrestrainedly. However, I am an ordinary woman. If people knew that Prince Yu was joking like this, I'm afraid that in a few days, I would be hated by many people."
Prince Yu was slightly startled, and quickly said, "I'm sorry for being rude." His expression was serious, unlike his previous contemptuous tone, and his tone was sincere.
But he did make Song Ci angry, and she didn't say another word to him until they got off the carriage.
"He has already gone far away, Your Highness Prince Yu. I cannot understand why Your Highness did this today. Could it be that he really has a crush on Miss Song?"
The attendant beside him spoke, and Prince Yu's peach blossom eyes suddenly dimmed a little. "Why can't I be attracted to her? She is much better than those ladies from the capital. She is not as boastful as them, always talking about rules. Nor is she like them, scheming to get close to me, hoping to become Prince Yu's concubine and bring glory to the family."
The attendant was silent.
"Let's go."
"But Your Highness, I can see that Master Pei also likes Miss Song. If he knew, would he still help you?" The servant expressed his concerns.
After a while, a snort came from Prince Yu's carriage. "Could it be that without Pei Ji, I will definitely lose to that fool, the Crown Prince? Even without him, I will still get what I want."
The attendant nodded and smiled apologetically, "Yes, yes, but Your Highness, Master Pei is now in front of the Emperor..."
"You mean, I have to act according to Pei Ji's mood." His peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a dangerous light.
The attendant hurriedly denied it three times, "No, that's not the case. Your Highness has misunderstood."
He waved his fan and said, "Then tell me what you mean."
"Marriage between a man and a woman must be mutually consensual. Besides, Miss Song is good in every way except her family background... Your Highness Prince Yu, do you think the Imperial Concubine will agree to her becoming your legal wife?"
Prince Yu's handsome brows knitted tightly together, "I can let her be a concubine for the time being, and then make new arrangements when I ascend to that position."
The attendant didn't say anything. He was thinking about Song Ci's style of doing things. Would such a person be willing to be just a concubine?
