The Concubine Strikes Back: The Marquis Insists on Me to Be His Wife

After hearing the news, several women hurried to register. They looked so anxious, as if they would miss the opportunity and would not be able to buy it at all if they were a step slower.

Su Qing was so happy when she saw this that she could hardly contain herself. After all, who would complain about making too much money? She had expected it to be extremely popular, but she had never thought it would be so popular.

"Xiao Qing, I'm really tired and want to go back and rest first." Princess Shaohua saw that the matter had been resolved, and the crowds and noise here were giving her a headache, and she really didn't want to stay any longer.

"Princess, please follow me to the Marquis' Mansion! Today, my maid Shui Lian has carefully prepared pearl meatballs and the sweet and delicious peach blossom cake, and I have also prepared a new milk tea. It's almost time for lunch, so please follow me!"

"That sounds great. I'm feeling a little hungry right now, so go with you. But when we pass by Baohezhai, remember to buy two roast chickens. Their roast chicken is the most delicious in the entire Shangjing City!"

"How come I didn't know that? Fortunately, the princess told me. Then let's buy a few more."

Princess Shaohua shook her head gently. "You don't know that in his family, each person is limited to buying two per day. Even when my brother came, the same rule still applies. He knows everyone from his boss to the wives and maids of other families."

Su Qing was shocked after hearing this. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be such a thing as purchase restrictions in ancient times! Could it be that their boss was also a person who traveled through time? Although she was confused, she didn't show it on her face.

"Then the princess can buy two, and I can buy two too, right?" Su Qing opened her eyes full of expectation and asked Princess Shaohua eagerly.

Su Qing and Princess Shaohua got on the beautifully decorated carriage and drove slowly towards the Marquis' Mansion.

Along the way, the two of them laughed and talked happily, talking about all kinds of novel and interesting things in the capital. Their laughter was as clear as silver bells, adding a lot of liveliness to this slightly dull journey.

Soon, the carriage stopped steadily at the bustling entrance of Baohezhai. Su Qing and Princess Shaohua stepped down from the carriage lightly and walked into Baohezhai side by side.

The shop was crowded with customers, and business was booming.

The boss had sharp eyes and spotted Princess Shaohua at a glance, and hurriedly ran over to pay his respects in fear and trepidation.

The princess explained her purpose with a smile, but the boss looked embarrassed and said helplessly: "Princess, I am so sorry! There are only a few roast chickens left today. I really can't meet your request of two each. You and this lady can only buy one each."

After hearing this, Su Qing hurriedly said, "Then let's have one each. After all, we can have a taste of this famous delicacy in the capital.

After buying the roast chicken, the two of them returned to the carriage carrying the roast chicken. Along the way, the breeze blew gently, and the whole carriage was filled with the smell of roast chicken, which made Su Qing's stomach growl.

As soon as I entered the mansion, a faint floral fragrance came to my face like a soft veil. The fragrance seemed to penetrate into my heart and lungs, making me feel relaxed and happy.

"Xiao Qing, what kind of flowers did you plant? Why are they so sweet?" Princess Shaohua couldn't help but close her eyes and took two deep breaths. Her face was full of intoxicated expression, as if she wanted to imprint the fragrance of the flowers deeply in her heart.

Su Qing was embarrassed, thinking to herself: It must be the Jin princess who did this! But she couldn't get angry at this moment.

"Let's have lunch first, and then go enjoy the view." Su Qing suppressed her unhappiness and tried to keep her tone calm, not wanting Princess Shaohua to notice anything unusual.

Shuilian and Ling'er had already carefully prepared a sumptuous lunch. The table was filled with dishes that were delicious and tasty.

Su Qing asked Princess Shaohua to sit down first, and then she served the food to Princess Shaohua herself with elegant and meticulous movements.

"Princess, please try it first to see if this dish suits your taste." Su Qing said with a smile, her eyes full of expectation, hoping to get Princess Shaohua's approval.

"Hmm~~~ These pearl meatballs are really sweet. Your maid's cooking skills are comparable to those of the royal chef in the palace! Not bad, not bad." Princess Shaohua tasted the pearl meatballs and couldn't help but praise them repeatedly. Her eyes were full of surprise and satisfaction, and her joyful expression was as if she was in a wonderful feast.

Just as the princess was enjoying her meal, an inopportune voice suddenly rang out.

"There are guests in our house today, why didn't you call me, sister?" The Princess of the Kingdom of Jin walked in hurriedly with big strides and a bit of anger on her face.

Since Princess Shaohua was there, Su Qing did not want to cause any trouble, so she said to Princess Jin Guo, "This is Princess Shaohua!" There was a hint of reminder and suggestion in her tone, hoping that Princess Jin Guo would restrain herself.

Princess Jin Guo did not take Princess Shao Hua seriously. She just glanced at her casually and thought to herself: We are both princesses, so we are all the same.

"Princess Shaohua? It's a nice title. We are all princesses, so there is no need to be restrained. Please buy me a set of bowls and chopsticks!" After saying that, Princess Jin Guo sat down by herself, as if it was a matter of course.

Su Qing and Princess Shaohua were startled at first, and looked at each other with confusion and surprise in their eyes. Could it be that in their Jin Kingdom, anyone could dine with the princess? This kind of rude and presumptuous behavior was really unbelievable.

Su Qing saw this scene, although she was dissatisfied in her heart, she still remained calm on the surface, looked at Princess Shaohua and asked: "Princess, do you agree?"

Princess Shaohua frowned slightly, but did not get angry. She did not want to embarrass Su Qing, so she nodded and agreed. Then she said calmly, "Then let's go together."

Princess Jin was very dissatisfied after hearing this. She felt that she needed others' approval just to have a meal? This was simply nonsense.

Su Qing ordered Shui Lian to buy a set of bowls and chopsticks for Princess Jin.

Princess Jin picked up the chopsticks without hesitation and started eating.

The three of them continued to eat, but the atmosphere became a little strange. Princess Jin ate by herself and commented on the dishes from time to time.

"This dish is too salty, and that dish is too bland." Princess Jin muttered.

Su Qing's anger grew stronger, but she still suppressed it and said, "If the princess doesn't like it, I'll ask the chef to improve it next time."

At this time, Princess Shaohua put down her chopsticks and retorted: "Princess, don't be so picky."

When Princess Jin heard this, she said, "I thought the food here would be satisfactory, but now it seems that it is just so-so."
