Chapter 106: Trick Her First

Xiao Zhengxuan nodded slightly, expressing his agreement: "Yes, what the princess said is very true."

Then, I put down my hand, gently placed the jade bracelet in a box beside me, and then pushed it slightly in the direction of Xu Ruoli.

"Boss, are there any other styles here? I want to compare them again. Hey, that purple jade bracelet is also good!" After saying that, I picked up the purple jade bracelet and looked at it carefully.

At this moment, Xu Ruoli said, "Boss, please wrap this white jade bracelet for me too!"

Hearing this, I pretended to be surprised, and quickly stretched out my hand to touch the box, and said angrily: "It was obviously me who saw that bracelet first!"

However, Xu Ruoli did not give in at all. She raised her voice and retorted, "The princess did not express her intention to buy this bracelet just now!"

I snorted, rolled my eyes at her in disdain, and said sarcastically, "Hmph, can you afford it?" Then I turned to look at the shopkeeper and asked him how much silver he wanted for this white jade bracelet.

"This only costs two hundred taels of silver." The shopkeeper narrowed his eyes, put a flattering smile on his face, and said to Xu Ruoli.

I looked at her provocatively and sneered, "Humph, can you afford it? One is three thousand taels, and the other is two hundred taels."

At this moment, she took out a large stack of banknotes from her bosom without any hurry, slammed them on the counter, and said to the shopkeeper Jin with a firm look in her eyes: "I was in a hurry to go out today. Here are 500 taels of silver. I will send someone to deliver the remaining silver in an hour. Please prepare these two bracelets in the meantime, and you can hand them over to me directly when the time comes."

Upon seeing this, Shopkeeper Jin nodded and bowed, quickly picked up the banknotes on the table, and said repeatedly: "Hey, okay, okay~"

Xu Ruoli turned her head and looked at me with contempt, then snorted. Then she turned her gaze to Xiao Zhengxuan and said tenderly, "Brother Xuan, Li'er has other things to deal with, so I'll go first."

Xiao Zhengxuan nodded slightly and responded: "Yeah."

Shopkeeper Jin immediately walked out of the counter to see her out and said with a smile: "Young lady, please walk slowly~"

I gave the shopkeeper who came in the opposite direction a sly smile and said teasingly, "How is it? This business should have made a lot of money!"

Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Jin smiled brightly, hurried into the store and bowed to me, saying gratefully, "Oh, thank you so much, Princess! To be honest, this jade bracelet has not been sold for a long time! I didn't expect that today, when Princess came, it was so easy to sell it... Oh, Princess is so amazing!"

Hearing this, I couldn't help but burst out laughing, and then said to the shopkeeper proudly, "It's actually a coincidence! You can close the store after you get the remaining payment! Why don't you go out and have some fun? I'm sure the income from this order should be enough to equal the turnover of our store for three or four days, right?"

Shopkeeper Jin nodded quickly and said, "Yes! Yes, yes! Thank you, Your Majesty and Princess!"

"Oh, this bracelet is so beautiful~ Zhengxuan, look, it's even more dazzling in the sunlight~" I raised my arm excitedly and showed him the bracelet.

Xiao Zhengxuan also came over to take a closer look, nodded and praised: "Yes, it is true. I didn't expect that this craftsman's craftsmanship is so exquisite that he can create such a lifelike work."

Then he said, "Hey, why is it that the princess is not wearing the precious flower gold bracelet that I gave her before?"

"Ah! I think the gold bracelet is too valuable. I don't dare to wear it on any important occasions, for fear of breaking it." I answered honestly.

"Oh? What about the bracelet your mother gave you, and the jewelry in your dowry? I have never seen the princess wear or use them." Xiao Zhengxuan continued to ask, and I could hear something wrong in his tone.

"Oh, I haven't had the time to take a closer look at the dowry. Anyway, they are all my things, so I'll put them in our warehouse first. I've asked Xiang'er and Jinxiu to count them. I'll take a look when I'm free." I explained quickly.

While thinking about how to coax him, I continued, "But that Baoxianghua gold bracelet is, after all, the first bracelet given to me by the prince. It has a very special meaning. How can I bear to wear it easily~" As I spoke, I secretly raised my eyes to observe Xiao Zhengxuan's expression.

Hearing what I said, Xiao Zhengxuan's face looked better, and he smiled and said to me, "Since it's a gift to the princess, just wear it. If it gets damaged, I'll order another one."

I couldn't help but sigh: What a rich man!

I secretly felt delighted in my heart, but on the surface I pretended to be reserved, deliberately clamped my throat, and said tenderly: "Then Xiaoxu would like to thank His Majesty~"

When Xiao Zhengxuan heard my voice, his body trembled slightly and said, "Princess can return to normal."

Princess, please be careful on the steps. " After that, he carefully supported me and walked into the building together.

As soon as we stepped into the teahouse, the enthusiastic waiter came up to us and asked us what we would like to order.

Xiao Zhengxuan turned to look at me and asked gently, "Wang... uh, what kind of tea does Xiaoxu like to drink?"

I replied, "Flower tea, any flower will do, as long as it smells nice."

Xiao Zhengxuan nodded, then he raised his eyelids, looked at the waiter, and added: "I want the most fragrant flower tea, and some of your signature snacks."

The waiter at the teahouse quickly responded, "Okay, sir, please wait a moment." Before he finished speaking, he turned and left, preparing to serve us the food.

Soon, while enjoying the delicious snacks, I curiously asked Xiao Zhengxuan: "Has the youngest son of the Fu family been found?"

Xiao Zhengxuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and replied: "As expected by the princess, the youngest son of the Fu family was found in a famous brothel in a hostile country."

I was so surprised that I almost spit out the snack in my mouth. I asked with wide eyes, "What? It's such a big deal! Oh, how embarrassing! Then...did you bring the person back?"

Xiao Zhengxuan nodded gently, sighed, and said, "I brought it back. It should reach the imperial city in a few days. But my father has already known about this."

"Oh, he really caused a lot of trouble for the Prime Minister!" I said with a sigh.

"Yes, so this morning in the court, Prime Minister Fu reported to the emperor that he wanted to retire and return home." Xiao Zhengxuan responded.

"Oh? I see... He did this based on calculations, right? I hope the emperor can let him off?" I muttered in a low voice.

"Well, the emperor took into consideration that he is a veteran of three dynasties, so he decided to show leniency and give his family a way out. There shouldn't be any more accidents in the future." After Xiao Zhengxuan finished speaking, he also picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and took a bite.
