Chapter 89 Daily Life of a Worker

Hearing the news, Xiao Zhengchen felt relieved. He heaved a sigh of relief, sat down slowly and said, "Oh, that's great..." His heart, which had been tense all the time, finally relaxed at this moment.

"In that case, Your Majesty, I and others will take our leave first. The Queen has specifically instructed us to report the princess' condition to her in detail after we return." Imperial Doctor Xue stepped forward and bowed to Xiao Zhengxuan.

"Thank you, imperial doctors." Xiao Zhengxuan slowly stood up and bowed deeply to the three imperial doctors in front of him to express his gratitude.

"Your Highness is too polite. This is our duty." The imperial doctors hurriedly returned the greeting.

At this time, Xiao Zhengchen on the side said: "Brother, I am also ready to return to the palace. Now that sister-in-law and Miss Ling'er are safe and sound, I am relieved."

"Okay, you go. Say hello to my father and mother for me, and tell her that I will take good care of the princess, so she can rest assured." Xiao Zhengxuan patted his brother's shoulder.

"Don't worry, my royal brother. Chen'er will definitely convey your message. I'll be leaving first." Xiao Zhengchen nodded with a smile, and then followed the three imperial doctors out of the palace gate.

A few days later, when we had recovered, Leilei and I were finally able to go to work at the silk shop.

"Oh, the two girls are here! I heard from Uncle Li that you were both sick a few days ago! Are you okay now?" Shopkeeper Xu squeezed out of the crowd and walked quickly towards us.

"Okay, okay, but we've been so vegetarian these past few days that we've lost our energy. We're not even allowed to eat delicious food." I complained to Shopkeeper Xu.

"Of course you have to avoid certain foods when you're sick, but to be honest, you two girls seem to have lost a lot of weight..." Shopkeeper Xu quickly handed us the candy.

I looked around and saw customers coming and going: "Business seems to be good at the moment!" I said to Shopkeeper Xu as I got closer.

"Oh, it's really good! These days, many young ladies come to Miss Ling'er to try on clothes!" Shopkeeper Xu said with a smile.

"How is Mr. Ye doing these days?" I stood on tiptoes and looked at Ye Lan who was surrounded by the crowd.

"Master Ye comes here every day, and is busy from morning to night like everyone else. When he gets tired of playing the piano, he comes to sell clothes. It's true that Master Ye is not only handsome, but also speaks softly. Now he has a lot of experience in selling clothes!" After saying this, Shopkeeper Xu nodded with satisfaction and stroked his beard.

"By the way, ladies, please follow me~" The shopkeeper had a strange expression on his face and lowered his voice to lead us to a small warehouse at the back.

"Come, come, Princess, Miss Ling'er, come and look over here!" Shopkeeper Xu led us to a table with two boxes on it.

He stretched out his hand and slowly opened the lid of the box. In an instant, a dazzling silver light appeared - the box was filled with heavy gold and silver ingots!

I was so shocked that I suddenly looked up at the shopkeeper and asked in disbelief, "Are you trying to tell me that these are last month's wages?"

Shopkeeper Xu smiled happily and nodded repeatedly, saying, "That's right!"

Then, he turned his gaze to Lei Lei and said with a smile: "Miss Ling'er has one too. The box next to it belongs to you!"

Lei Lei was filled with surprise and hurriedly opened another box. She saw the silver light inside and couldn't help but screamed: "Oh my God! There is even a share for me! This is the first time I have seen so much silver. How much is it?"

The shopkeeper looked at Lei Lei holding the silver and examining it over and over again as if she had found a treasure, and said softly, "Haha, of course I have to give it to you. Miss Ling'er sold a lot of clothes last month. Here is a total of twenty taels."

"Oh my god, I've been here for so long, and I finally see the silver I earned with my own eyes. It's unbelievable." Leilei carefully placed the silver ingots one by one, then looked up at me with curiosity, "How much do you have? Let me see." As she spoke, she couldn't wait to lean over to my box.

When she saw the gold in my box, Leilei's eyes widened and she shouted in surprise: "How come you have gold here!" Before she finished speaking, she reached out, grabbed a gold ingot and was about to put it into her mouth.

"Hahaha, the princess thinks that too much silver is inconvenient to carry, so this time she exchanged all the money she saved last time for gold ingots." Shopkeeper Xu looked at Ling'er's actions and couldn't help laughing.

"Well, gold is more beautiful in comparison~" Leilei returned the gold ingot in her hand to me with a reluctant look, but there was still a hint of reluctance in her eyes.

"Oh, you've already left tooth marks on it. I don't want it. I'd rather just give it to you!" I said with a smile on my face, teasing her intentionally.

"Really?" Before she finished speaking, she reached out to the box where I put the gold ingots, as fast as lightning. I quickly leaned forward, pressed the box tightly with my whole body, and shouted loudly: "Don't even think about it! Be careful not to break your teeth!"

"(ˉ▽ ̄~) Tsk~~! You actually predicted it!" Lei Lei muttered, then put the gold ingot into her own small box and quickly closed the lid.

Then he turned to Shopkeeper Xu and said, "Shopkeeper, I'm going to go entertain the guests first. I hope I can exchange a lot of gold ingots by the end of this month!"

"Hahahaha, okay, okay, go quickly. But Miss Ling'er, is this box heavy? Can you carry it by yourself?" Shopkeeper Xu asked with a big laugh.

"Of course no problem! Now I feel full of strength~" She patted the box proudly, walked out of the door with her head held high and chest puffed out.

As the time came to 3 p.m., the number of customers in the store gradually decreased, and we finally got a chance to catch our breath.

Lei Lei was slumped in a chair, pouring herself a cup of tea while mumbling, "Oh, my illness has caused me to feel even weaker."

Ye Lan at the side also echoed: "Now there are many more customers in the store than before Miss Ling'er fell ill. I don't think it may be due to her health. Even I am a little overwhelmed!" After saying that, he shook his head, picked up a clean cloth and carefully wiped his piano.

"Hahaha, if this goes on, we'll probably have to hire more people!" I said with a smile, looking at the shopkeeper who was sorting the cloth.

"That's right. I will post the notice tomorrow morning. And next year, many candidates who passed the provincial examination will come to the imperial city to take part in the spring examination. At that time, we will definitely increase the customer flow." Shopkeeper Xu responded.

"Spring Examination? Eh? I have a good idea!" I suddenly opened my eyes wide with excitement and looked at Lei Lei, "I can draw some auspicious patterns, such as: winning the first prize in the imperial examination and carp leaping over the dragon gate, and weave them into cloth to sell!"

"Well, you really can take advantage of any popularity!" She said to me with a smile.

"Boss! I will draw some patterns for you when I come back. I will trouble you to go to the weaving workshop and place an order with them. Also, don't forget to register our designs." I reminded the boss seriously.

"Well, you can rest assured. The clothing styles we designed have already been registered with the government, and we also have backup copies here." The shopkeeper responded confidently.

At this moment, Xiao Zhengxuan suddenly walked into the store, looking at our busy scene like a war, with a slight smile on his face. "Since everything is arranged, is the princess willing to go back to the palace with me?" He said in a low voice, staring at me with some resentment.

When everyone saw Xiao Zhengxuan appear, they immediately knelt down and saluted, shouting in unison: "Greetings, Your Majesty~"

"Get up quickly! There's no need to be so formal here~" Xiao Zhengxuan said as he slowly walked towards me. His eyes stayed on me the whole time, but he didn't speak a word.

"Hey, Leilei, look, the prince is here. Now we don't have to carry the box back!" I turned my head and winked at Leilei mischievously.

"Your Highness, you've arrived just in time. Come on, come on, help us move our things." I unceremoniously pulled Xiao Zhengxuan into the small warehouse. Then I forced the heavy box into his hands, and then turned around and handed him Lei Lei's box as well.

Looking at Xiao Zhengxuan in front of me holding two boxes without saying a word, standing straight and motionless, I couldn't help but chuckle.

Sitting in the carriage with nothing to do, I suddenly remembered something and said, "Your Highness, a few days ago, Chen Qingyue asked someone to send me a letter. The letter mentioned that she passed her father's test and can really go to war with her father this time!"

As I was talking, I was trying to recall the letter Yue'er wrote to me. Her words revealed her excitement about being able to go on the expedition with the army.

When I mentioned this, Xiao Zhengxuan nodded quickly: "Yes, I heard that they will set off soon. Today I also saw Huo Zixuan report to the military camp."

I nodded gently and responded, "Well, I hope they can all return safely this time." After all, swords and knives are blind on the battlefield, and one might encounter unexpected events if one is not careful, which is really worrying.

As if seeing the worry in my heart, Xiao Zhengxuan comforted me, "Don't worry, this battle won't be too difficult. With General Chen personally commanding, plus Huo Zixuan himself is quite capable, and this Chen Qingyue is said to be no less capable than Huo Zixuan. Letting them go together this time is just an opportunity to train these two young juniors."

After hearing what he said, I felt a little relieved, but I still couldn't help but pray silently in my heart, hoping that everything would go well and everyone would be safe.

"Eh? Where is Prime Minister Fu's beloved son?" He suddenly remembered this matter and quickly turned to ask Xiao Zhengxuan who was standing beside him.

"We set off yesterday." Xiao Zhengxuan replied in a calm tone.

Hearing this, Lei Lei and I looked at each other in tacit understanding, and then both breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, that's great, now that he's gone, the Prime Minister should be more restrained, after all, his precious son is still in the hands of the Emperor."

"Well, ever since the Prime Minister learned that Huo Zixuan followed General Chen to the war, he has known everything. Now he rarely interferes in the court." Xiao Zhengxuan said with a slight smile.

"I guess as long as he behaves himself and doesn't do anything stupid, he will be able to return home peacefully and retire peacefully." I looked at Lei Lei and said meaningfully.

At this time, Xiao Zhengxuan reminded again: "Today, the Queen Mother specially sent someone to deliver a dress to you. Go back and try it on later. If there is anything that doesn't fit, you can ask them to modify it."

"Oh, okay, okay, I'll go try it with you later. By the way, have you tried the prince's dress?" I asked curiously.

Xiao Zhengxuan smiled slightly and said softly: "I have tried it, the size and style are suitable, there is no problem."

At this time, Lei Lei beside her suddenly sighed: "Time flies! Your wedding day will be in a few days! Oh~ I haven't decided what to wear on that day!"

Seeing her anxious look, he asked doubtfully, "Didn't you tell Uncle Li about this a few days ago?"

Lei Lei made a bitter face, shook her head helplessly, and said in a crying voice: "I forgot... What should I do?"

I quickly comforted her: "Don't worry, don't worry. Go to Uncle Li early tomorrow morning and ask him to help you pick out some festive colored fabrics, and then hurry up and make a new dress. If you really don't have time, you can pick out something brighter from our ready-made clothes."

"Oh! If it weren't for me, how could you and Cui'er be poisoned together? Many things have been delayed in the past few days." Whenever I think about it, I always feel guilty.

Lei Lei moved towards me, sat beside me and comforted me, "Don't talk nonsense. How can this matter be related to you? It's obvious that you are also a victim!"

"Princess and Miss Leilei can rest assured. I have ordered a thorough investigation of everyone in the palace, and I will ensure that you are safe in the future." Xiao Zhengxuan looked at us seriously and said.

"This incident actually has nothing to do with the people behind the two maids. It was purely driven by greed that led them astray and got deeper and deeper into trouble." I shook my head and sighed helplessly, lamenting the fragility of human nature.

"You can't guard against it!" Lei Lei suddenly imitated the tone of the character in the skit and said this. Her tone and demeanor were so lifelike that it made people laugh. I was amused by her sudden performance and laughed so hard that the laughter echoed in the air.

Xiao Zhengxuan on the side was completely confused. He looked at us blankly, as if he didn't understand what was going on. Seeing his expression, I laughed even more happily.

After a long while, I managed to stop laughing and said to Xiao Zhengxuan, "Your Highness, you don't know that we have many very interesting crosstalks and skits! When you have the chance to go back with us in the future, you must enjoy them! When the time comes, I will make up all the wonderful programs for you!"
