The two left Miaoyu Pavilion.
Mu Chenshuang looked at Fu Junheng and asked, "Can you get the head of Miaoyu Pavilion to change his mind?"
The shopkeeper just said that this piece of red jade is worth ten thousand gold pieces, and the other party has already paid a prepayment of a thousand gold pieces. Even people in the palace are not all able to come up with so much money, which shows that the other party must be of noble status.
Even though Miaoyu Pavilion is the largest jewelry store in the entire capital, it is still just a shop. If it breaks the agreement and transfers this red jade stone to someone else, wouldn't that offend the powerful and influential?
"It's rare to find something you like, so how can you let it slip by?"
Mu Chenshuang suddenly felt used to his sweet words and teased him, "In that case, why don't you just buy the whole street?"
Fu Junheng turned to look at her, and in response to her teasing, he replied with utmost seriousness: "If you come with me, not only a street, but the entire Shengjing, whatever you want is yours."
Mu Chenshuang lowered her eyelids slightly, looked straight ahead, and said calmly, "I don't like living under the favor of others."
Going with him now seems so unrealistic.
But when that time actually came, she was able to face his departure calmly and without any emotional turmoil.
Fu Junheng withdrew his gaze, a cryptic smile curving his lips, and said softly, "What if I like it later?"
Mu Chenshuang did not respond to his words.
Afterwards, Fu Junheng took Mu Chenshuang to a restaurant for a meal. Just as the two were leaving, they ran into someone.
Jing Sha looked at the two of them and took the initiative to greet them: "Crown Prince Junheng, Princess Weiyang, what a coincidence to meet you two here."
Mu Chenshuang glanced at the mirrored gauze and replied calmly, "Indeed, a coincidence."
Fu Junheng was about to leave with Mu Chenshuang.
Jing Sha suddenly said, "Princess Weiyang, there are some things I'd like to discuss with you privately."
Mu Chenshuang stopped and turned to look at her.
Inside a private room of the restaurant.
"It seems that Princess Weiyang and Crown Prince Junheng are already together."
Mu Chenshuang's pupils trembled slightly as she looked at her with calm, unwavering eyes. For a moment, she didn't know how to deny Jing Sha's words.
"There are many interpretations of being together. Princess Mirror Veil is with me now, isn't she?"
Jing Sha smiled, and her deep-set eyes and brows appeared exceptionally exotic and captivating.
"Your intentions are so obvious, why does Princess Weiyang need to deny it?"
"Is this what Princess Mirror Veil wanted to discuss with me alone?"
"Of course not. I went to the Prime Minister's residence today, but I still didn't see him. I know he has deep feelings for you, Princess Weiyang. In his eyes, apart from you, he can't see any other woman he has any different feelings for."
"But since Princess Weiyang has chosen Crown Prince Junheng, why not just be frank with General Shen and make it clear to him so he'll give up on her? If things remain unclear and he keeps thinking there's still a glimmer of hope, Princess Weiyang's actions would be unbecoming of a woman."
Mu Chenshuang's eyes darkened. "Princess Jingsha, don't you think it's impolite of you to put such a big label on me for no reason? How do you know I haven't talked to him about it? Besides, some people can't be completely cut off with just a few words. If you don't even understand him as a person, how can you talk about liking him or pursuing him?"
She had hinted to Shen Nanzhi that she was no longer the person she used to be, and that their relationship would never return to what it once was.
But she admits that she can't bring herself to say anything harsh or cruel to him right now.
Jing Sha's expression changed slightly. Indeed, Shen Nanzhi couldn't possibly be unaware of the rumors about Mu Chenshuang and Fu Junheng, but he could still pretend he knew nothing.
"Instead of talking to me, Princess Mirror Veil should think about how to understand him."
After Mu Chenshuang finished speaking, she got up to leave.
Suddenly, Jing Sha spoke up, "Princess Weiyang, what do you think I should do? He's avoiding me now, so how am I supposed to understand him?"
His tone carried a hint of sadness.
As a princess, she could have any man she wanted, and she had countless suitors. She never gave them a second glance until Shen Nanzhi appeared, like a god saving her. For the first time, she fell in love with a man, abandoning all her dignity to pursue him, traveling thousands of miles to the Central Plains, only to receive his indifferent response. How could she accept this?
these days.
She would wait for him at places he always passed by, but after seeing him a few times, he deliberately avoided her, and she could hardly see him at all.
Mu Chenshuang paused.
All that could be heard was Jing Sha's pleading voice: "Please help me, because I don't know how much longer I can stay in the Central Plains."
