Chapter 192 Goodbye Qi Wanyin

Su Jingyao shifted her gaze to the woman who was speaking. She was startled at first, then became slightly puzzled.

"Princess?"

She murmured softly, her brows unconsciously knitted together, and she looked at it carefully for a long time.

Finally, Su Jingyao seemed to suddenly realize and recognized the person in front of her.

Princess Minghui?

The tenth princess, who was raised by the Queen Mother, is only thirteen years old this year.

After Su Jingyao became the empress in her previous life, she only met Princess Minghui a few times and did not have a deep impression of her.

Chu Yinxue's face looked a little bad because of Princess Minghui's words.

She has always been the one showing off in front of others, but today a princess came and snatched the jewelry she liked. How could she feel good about it?

But no matter how uncomfortable Su Jingyao and Chu Yinxue felt, the princess's noble status was clearly there.

The two of them bowed slightly in tacit understanding.

"Your servant Su Jingyao\/Chu Yinxue has met the princess."

"Get up."

Princess Minghui came over, took Chu Yinxue's hand, and looked at the bracelet carefully.

After Su Jingyao stood up, she was surprised to find that there was someone following Princess Minghui.

It's Qi Wanyin? !

Su Jingyao instantly recalled this person and sorted out the timeline in her mind.

At that time, my father taught the princes in the palace, and my brother also went to the palace, and thus got to know Qi Wanyin.

Later, when my brother learned that Qi Wanyin was in love with Jun Zechen, he resolutely decided to go abroad to study.

Qi Wanyin was rejected after Jun Zechen returned from the battle, which means that Qi Wanyin now admires Jun Zechen, and after Jun Zechen returns from the frontier, the empress will arrange a marriage for them.

At that time, the Queen Mother wanted Jun Zechen to take care of her cousin because her brother died in the war and Qi Wanyin had always liked Jun Zechen.

However, the queen really looked down on Qi Wanyin's background and would never let Qi Wanyin marry Jun Zechen as the crown princess.

Princess Minghui was raised by the Empress since she was young, so it was natural for the two of them to travel together on the Flower Festival today.

Chu Yinxue knew Princess Minghui. When she saw her eyes fixed on her bracelet, her face instantly wrinkled like the wrinkles of a bun, and her dissatisfaction was about to overflow.

"Princess Minghui, if you liked this bracelet, why did the boss sell it to us?"

As Chu Yinxue spoke, she turned her wrist and pulled her hand out of the princess's.

She was not afraid of this princess. Even if she was a princess, so what? Could she just steal other people's things?

"I just came to this store a while ago, and I just want to go shopping in other stores and come back to buy something later."

The princess raised her head with a haughty look, and the angle of her chin seemed to highlight her innate dignity.

The shopkeeper who followed next to him was already sweating profusely.

"Miss Chu, Miss Su, I'm sorry, I don't understand why the princess wants to come back to buy something else. How about you take a look at other bracelets?"

The shopkeeper bent even lower, his voice was flattering, and he looked humble, obviously frightened by the princess's power.

Su Jingyao looked at the shopkeeper's fearful expression and couldn't help feeling helpless.

This is also the reason why Su Jingyao wanted to be the queen and the empress dowager when she first came to this world.

In this era, imperial power is supreme, and no one can easily challenge it.

Even though she was just a little princess, the young ladies from the aristocratic families could not act unruly in front of her.

A single charge of disrespect for the royal family could result in beheading.

"Treasurer, have you received the banknote?"

Su Jingyao asked back in a cold tone.

The shopkeeper's answer seemed a little hesitant, and his eyes flickered.

"I accepted it, but... I can return it to Miss Su."

After hearing the answer, Su Jingyao turned around and faced the princess.

"Princess, since I have already bought this bracelet, it is indeed mine. If you really like it, I can sell it to you."

As she spoke, Su Jingyao had a smile on her face and a calm look.

Chu Yinxue couldn't control herself and wanted to say something. Why should her bracelet be forced to be sold because of the princess?

Su Jingyao gave Chu Yinxue a look, asking her to stay calm.

Princess Minghui originally brought Qi Wanyin out because she wanted to show off in front of Qi Wanyin.

No matter how Qi Wanyin tries to please her mother, she is nothing more than a nameless bastard.

In the palace, her jewellery and dresses were carefully prepared by the Fashion Bureau and were always of excellent quality.

This time when she went out, whatever she saw that she liked, she wanted to buy it, and Qi Wanyin could only follow her like a little follower.

This greatly satisfied Princess Minghui's vanity.

Who let Qi Wanyin study with these princesses, yet she became the best in everything. And don’t think she doesn’t know that Qi Wanyin likes the crown prince.

I came across this jewelry store while strolling around today. I didn't expect some of the nice-looking things to be so expensive.

It was just a jade bracelet, but it cost 800 taels. It took her half a year to save up 800 taels.

After leaving the jewelry store, Princess Minghui felt extremely uncomfortable because of Qi Wanyin's feigned silence, and she felt that she was being ridiculed.

It seemed as if Qi Wanyin was laughing at her in her heart: So what if she’s a princess? She still can’t even afford a bracelet.

Princess Minghui then brought Qi Wanyin back to the jewelry store, but she never expected that the bracelet had already been bought.

She, a princess, had to hesitate before buying this bracelet. Which young lady in the capital city could be so generous?

In order to find out the truth, Princess Minghui naturally wanted to see it with her own eyes. She thought that if the other party was interested, he should obediently hand over the bracelet with both hands.

But Miss Su actually asked her to buy it back. She had absolutely no sense at all!

Princess Minghui's beautiful eyebrows were twisted by anger, and her eyes revealed an undisguised arrogance.

"Tell me, how much are you going to sell for?"

Princess Minghui looked so arrogant as if she was sure that Su Jingyao would bow her head obediently.

She didn't dare sell it to Su Jingyao at the original price even if it was half the price, she would not give Su Jingyao a good face.

"Princess Minghui, I bought this bracelet for 800 taels. We should never do business at a loss. Since you are a princess, I think you are not short of money."

"Princess, can you let me, a little girl, earn some money? I won't ask for too much. How about 1,000 taels?"

Su Jingyao was neither humble nor arrogant, and still had a faint smile on her face.

Princess Minghui's pupils suddenly widened.

She, what is she saying!

"you!"

Princess Minghui pointed her finger at Su Jingyao, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

Should I refute her that 1,000 taels is too expensive? But wouldn't that make her look poor? That's too cheap!

Or use the princess' power as a threat to snatch the bracelet away?

But Su Jingyao is the daughter of Minister Su, and Chu Yinxue next to her is also the daughter of the Minister of Personnel.

If she snatched the bracelet of a high-ranking official's daughter in public, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing if her father, the emperor and her mother heard about it? She would also be scolded.

Qi Wanyin, who was standing aside, lowered her head, looked submissive, and stood quietly behind Princess Minghui.

Princess Minghui was full of pride, and she had become accustomed to it during her years in the palace.

This time Princess Minghui brought her out to show off, but she actually didn't care. She even felt happy to be able to go out for a stroll.

I don’t know when the prince cousin will come back from outside the Great Wall.

He turned a deaf ear to the quarrel between Princess Minghui and the two young ladies.

Su Jingyao looked at Princess Minghui innocently, blinking her eyes, "What's wrong with the princess?"

"Do you think you no longer like this bracelet after Miss Chu wears it?"

"In fact, I think the bracelet, the treasure of this store, is the most suitable for a princess, don't you think, shopkeeper?"

"Why don't you show the princess your treasure? If Miss Chu's bracelet is resold, it will only be second-hand, and it is not worthy of a princess."

The shopkeeper immediately understood what Su Jingyao meant and nodded hurriedly.

"Yes, Princess. This purple jadeite bar in our store is rich in color and matches the color of your dress today."

The shopkeeper smiled and spoke flatteringly as he hurried to another display cabinet, took out the bracelet, held it in his hands and handed it to the princess for her to view.

"Princess, the original price of this purple jade bracelet is 1500 taels. If you want it, our store can sell it to you for 1300 taels. Please see..."

Princess Minghui bit her back teeth, which made a clattering sound and her cheeks bulged slightly.

Su Jingyao and the boss are just singing the same tune!

"Her blue jade is second-hand, so I don't like it. Even if your purple jade is the treasure of the store, so what? I'm not in a good mood today, so I won't buy it."

"Qi Wanyin, let's go back to the palace."

Princess Minghui angrily flicked her sleeves and turned around.

When he turned around, he glared at Su Jingyao fiercely with a strong sense of threat.

Just wait for this princess, Minghui is not the kind of person who will suffer loss, huh!

Before Qi Wanyin followed Princess Minghui, she couldn't help but look at Su Jingyao curiously, with a hint of inquiry in her eyes.

This Miss Su is not very old, but she is very eloquent.

After Princess Minghui left, Chu Yinxue's dissatisfaction was still clearly visible on her face.

She curled her lips and complained in a low voice.

"What's wrong with her being a princess? Both of us have good family backgrounds. If she dares to snatch the bracelet from my hand so brazenly, it would be a shame for her to lose face as a princess."

Chu Yinxue couldn't stand a smiling tiger like Ye Yaqin, nor could she stand a princess who used her status to oppress her.

She is afraid of no one.

Su Jingyao shook her head. The little girl was very scary when she became vain.

Chu Yinxue seemed so arrogant and domineering when she first entered the palace, but unfortunately, this kind of personality did not last long in the palace.
