"Whether they are worthy or not is not for them to decide, nor is it something you should worry about. His Highness the Crown Prince will surely handle things well."
A pregnant woman's mood can directly affect the baby's health, and He Jiu Niang didn't want the Crown Princess to overthink it, so she patiently advised her.
The Crown Princess knew that what she was doing was not good, but when she was pregnant, her mood was easily affected, and she just couldn't control her discomfort.
More than anything, she lacked self-confidence. After becoming pregnant, she gained weight and didn't look as good as before. Meanwhile, her husband was about to become the ruler of a country and would have many more and better choices. Would he still be devoted to her?
Seeing her like this, He Jiuniang guessed what was going on and asked, "Has His Highness the Crown Prince not come to see you for several days?"
Speaking of this, the Crown Princess paused, her expression growing increasingly grim. This was the reason for her anxiety.
"Your Highness has been very busy lately..."
As a wife, she could understand her husband. It hadn't been easy for the Crown Prince to get to this point, and he worried about all sorts of things every day. She could understand why he didn't come home to sleep.
But she was pregnant, and understanding was one thing, feeling upset was another.
"His Highness has indeed had a lot to deal with lately. Once he's finished with these few days, you must punish him properly!"
Actually, He Jiuniang wanted to say that no matter how busy she was, she couldn't neglect her pregnant wife. However, saying those words would only make the Crown Princess feel worse, so she changed her words.
In this era, it wasn't easy for a man to reach the position of crown prince; he still needed to be slowly trained.
The Crown Princess couldn't help but laugh and asked, "How should I punish you?"
"Isn't that your skill?"
As he spoke, he winked at her, instantly improving the Crown Princess's mood.
Fortunately, the Crown Prince still cared about the Crown Princess. Just then, a young eunuch came over and brought a bowl of milk syrup.
"Your Highness, His Highness the Crown Prince is worried that the hot weather and Your Highness, being pregnant, are feeling unwell. He has ordered me to bring Your Highness a bowl of drink to cool you down."
After speaking to the Crown Princess, the young eunuch added, "I didn't know Madam Lu was here too. This servant will go and prepare a bowl for her."
He Jiuniang smiled at the Crown Princess and said, "No need, I'm going back soon. Just take good care of Her Highness."
"yes."
The young eunuch withdrew, and He Jiuniang teased with a smile, "Look, although His Highness the Crown Prince didn't come, he still cares about Your Highness. I believe he will handle Princess Xiteng's matter properly, so don't worry too much."
The Crown Princess was indeed comforted, and she smiled somewhat embarrassedly, feeling that she had been a little pretentious.
Seeing that her mood had improved, He Jiuniang stayed with her for a while before leaving the palace. On the way, she saw a jewelry shop opening, which looked quite lively. She thought that Lu Laoda also wanted to open a gold and silver jewelry shop, so she went in to join in the fun and maybe she could give Lu Laoda some advice.
Originally, she just wanted to join in the fun, but after entering, she found that many of the styles were very nice, and He Jiuniang couldn't help but take a look. She instantly wanted to buy a few sets.
The coronation ceremony requires formal attire, and with so many women in the family, it's time to change into some beautiful and valuable jewelry.
He Jiuniang successfully found an excuse to spend money. She kept picking and choosing from the crowd, and had everyone pack their things. She was incredibly extravagant, with a young waiter following her around to provide real-time explanations.
"Madam, we have a set of our store's prized possessions, adorned entirely with sea pearls. It would be very suitable for you. Would you like to take a look?"
Seeing that He Jiuniang was not short of money and was also very beautiful, able to pull off any kind of jewelry, the young shopkeeper smiled and made recommendations.
If it were anything else, He Jiuniang wouldn't be very interested, but as soon as she heard it was Haizhu, she immediately became excited. She really liked Haizhu and often wore several pieces with Haizhu elements. If this set was really beautiful, she wouldn't mind adding it to her collection.
Isn't the point of making so much money to be able to buy whatever you want?
The young shop assistant respectfully led He Jiuniang to see the shop's prized possession. What could be called the shop's prized possession was naturally not just small jewelry, but a complete set, containing everything imaginable.
They are round and glossy. In this era, there is no technology or ruthless work, so these are all genuine products.
He Jiuniang fell in love with it at first sight. She picked up a few items and tried them on herself, and they were indeed very suitable.
"Okay, wrap this one up for me too."
He Jiuniang was very straightforward and didn't even ask the price.
It's alright. If it's too expensive, I'll get another prescription for the Crown Prince of Dongting tomorrow. It'll be quick.
"Alright! Madam is so generous! Since you bought so much, I can give you a discount..."
"Wait! I want this set of pearl jewelry!"
The young waiter was being very attentive when he was interrupted halfway through his sentence. He turned to look at the woman walking towards him, and his smile became somewhat forced.
"Miss, I'm so sorry, this set of jewelry has already been bought by this lady."
The boss told them that the most important thing in doing business is integrity, and that they must not disappoint their customers.
Besides, this lady bought so much; she might repurchase in the future. She's a big customer, and we can't afford to offend her easily.
"It's your good fortune that our princess has taken a liking to your things. Hurry up and wrap them up, what are you talking nonsense for!"
The maidservant beside the woman stepped forward and launched into a tirade, making no attempt to conceal her mistress's identity, which could be considered a form of showing off.
Sure enough, upon hearing the word "princess," people gathered around, looking at the group of people dressed in strange clothes and whispering among themselves.
The clothing of each country is different. During this period, envoys from the three countries have come, and the people have seen many strange costumes, but they have never seen anything as flamboyant as Princess Xiteng.
He Jiuniang naturally saw Xi Teng and her group. She never expected to be so unlucky. She had just mentioned Princess Xi Teng in the palace, and then she ran into them as soon as she left the palace.
She couldn't help but roll her eyes; what bad luck.
“Miss, it really won’t work. This set of jewelry has been bought by this lady. Please don’t make things difficult for me.”
The young man tried his best to put on a smile, determined to protect the important client no matter what.
Unless a major client agrees to relinquish the rights, one must not waver.
"I'll take this set of headdresses. Go and look at some others."
Princess Kaya of Xiteng took the initiative to walk up to He Jiuniang, adopting a superior attitude.
She didn't know He Jiuniang, but seeing how beautiful He Jiuniang was made her feel very uncomfortable. In Xiteng, she was the most beautiful princess and was loved by everyone since she was a child. So choosing her for a marriage alliance was a way to show Xiteng's sincerity to Beiyan.
She represented peace in Xiteng, so she didn't think there was anything wrong with a marriage alliance; in fact, she was proud of it.
Having been pampered since childhood, she naturally didn't know what restraint was, and thought that coming to Beiyan meant she could do whatever she wanted, just like she did in Xiteng.
He Jiuniang looked at her and asked, "Are all the people of Xiteng as shameless as you?"
