Chapter 509 Extra - A Prosperous Era
Chen Ci looked down at her and saw a bright and radiant face on her small face.
It was completely different from the formulaic, respectful smile that was always on his face before.
Tsk.
This girl has two faces.
...
Tang Ming quickly harnessed the carriage and moved all the gifts onto it.
Chen Ci and Shu Tong entered the carriage one after the other. Looking at the gray plush carpet and soft cushions on the chairs in the huge carriage, Shu Tong sighed, "Indeed, the rented carriage is not in the same league as the prince's carriage."
This is clearly the difference between a Maserati and an elderly mobility scooter.
Seeing her looking around with great interest, Chen Ci raised an eyebrow: "From now on, you can directly order a carriage when you go out. The Crown Prince's residence is not so poor that it cannot afford to send a carriage."
Shu Tong smiled and replied, "Yes. I've got it."
She looked down at the soft carpet beneath her feet and thought, "If I were to go out in a perfectly respectable manner, then of course I could be given a car. The problem is that this matter cannot be resolved simply by virtue of my status as a courtesan."
For a lady of the Crown Prince's residence to go out and take on private jobs to earn money, it would be a small matter if word got out that she would be laughed at, but she might even be accused of disgracing the royal family.
Sitting comfortably in the carriage, all Shu Tong could hear were the lively sounds of the streets outside the window, making her feel restless and eager to join in.
So, while Chen Ci was resting with his eyes closed, she gently lifted the carriage curtain to look outside.
The area is bustling with people, with leisurely traffic, numerous shops, and orderly streets.
It truly is a scene of prosperity.
However, in her memory, in order to promote the development of the relationship between the male and female protagonists, a rather serious plague seemed to have occurred in the suburbs of the capital.
The original female lead, a female doctor, offered a good remedy to save people from suffering. Afterwards, the male lead looked at her differently, and their relationship progressed more and more smoothly.
Shu Tong pursed her lips slightly. She was not a female doctor at the moment, and she didn't even know the most basic knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine.
If a plague were to actually break out, she probably wouldn't have the same talent as the original female lead.
Let's just hope that the plot has changed due to various uncertainties.
Otherwise, only ordinary people would suffer.
Chen Ci crossed his arms and watched as her expression changed from joy to confusion. Following her gaze, he saw the car passing by Taibai Tower.
Chen Ci lightly twirled her fingers. Could it be that she was thinking of her "Brother Ye" Ye Zhiyuan?
Judging by the timeline, the investigation results should arrive in the next couple of days. He wanted to see what kind of connection she had with Ye Zhiyuan.
Chen Ci coughed lightly, and Shu Tong quickly lowered the carriage curtain, sat up straight, and explained softly, "I heard a commotion outside the window and took a look, and it was indeed a lively scene."
Chen Ci nodded, his gaze sweeping over her face: "In a while, Uncle Wang will be organizing a sports meet at his villa in the suburbs of Beijing. It will be a lively and exciting event, and Shu Liangyuan will probably get to see even more grand occasions."
Shu Tong was taken aback: "Can I go too?"
“Of course, our Crown Prince’s residence also has projects. Tang Ming is the captain of the Cuju team.” Chen Ci looked at her with a half-smile: “You and the Crown Princess will both be going to attend the ceremony.”
Shu Tong's mind raced. If she was to attend the ceremony as a relative, would she be unable to appear at the preparation site?
Otherwise, wouldn't we be easily exposed?
She tucked the outline of etiquette into her sleeve.
It seems this matter needs further consideration.
Thinking of Bai Jin who had grown wings and flown away, Shu Tong sighed softly.
Chen Ci keenly noticed this subtle movement, and the corners of his lips curled up: "What's wrong? Liangyuan seems a little unhappy? Does she not want to go to the sports meet?"
