Gu Zhiyin and Fu Yunyao entered the Golden Tower together.

The Jinlou is the Yuxiang Pavilion, the most popular Jinlou in the capital among dignitaries. Every piece of jewelry and head ornament inside is exquisite and gorgeous, but the prices are also shockingly expensive.

But it still attracts people.

Because the jewelry from Yuxiangge cannot be bought just by having money.

It is like wearing jewelry from Yuxiangge, not only because of its exquisite style, but also represents a superior status.

After all, those who can afford the jewelry here are either rich or noble.

Some time ago, Wen brought Gu Zhiyin here to buy a lot of jewelry.

As soon as you enter the door, you will be greeted by the golden and magnificent atmosphere, and the air of grandeur is everywhere.

When the shopkeeper saw Fu Yunyao, he hurriedly came forward to greet her respectfully.

"I pay my respects to the princess."

The waiter in the shop may not recognize every customer who comes, but the shopkeeper definitely knows the identity of every customer who comes into the store and remembers it firmly in his mind.

But the last time Wen brought Gu Zhiyin here, the shopkeeper was not there, so he was a little unfamiliar with Gu Zhiyin. He looked at Gu Zhiyin and smiled humbly, "Who is this lady?"

"Princess Ming." Fu Yunyao said.

The shopkeeper was startled and bowed deeply.

"Meet the Princess of Ming County."

For the common people, they do not understand the differences between the nobles in the capital. All those with titles and status are nobles whom they dare not marry.

"Where is the lady who just came in?" Fu Yunyao asked the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper said: "In the wing room, please come this way, Princess."

The shopkeeper invited the two men to go up to the second floor and pushed open the door of one of the rooms.

Yuxiang Pavilion hired a lot of maids to serve the ladies who came to choose.

At this moment, on a carved square table in the room were trays filled with a dazzling array of various jewellery, which were dazzling.

Pei Shuyan was all smiles.

Gu Zhiyin glanced at the jewelry on the table and said to Fu Yunyao with a smile, "Last time my mother and I came to choose jewelry, we didn't dare to ask people to bring so many. Look at how generous Miss Pei is. The table is almost full. The Pei family is indeed worthy of being a wealthy family. Even if we are a royal palace, we are still not as good as her."

Fu Yunyao was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then she echoed: "That's right, even though the noble families look glorious on the surface, they may not be as wealthy as Miss Pei."

"Ms. Pei, are these all what you like and want to buy?" Gu Zhiyin blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at her with great envy.

Pei Shuyan held a hairpin in one hand and wanted to say no, but her pride made her unwilling to lose face in front of Gu Zhiyin and Fu Yunyao, so she said, "Take a look first. If there is something that catches my eye, I will buy it. My Pei family lacks everything except money."

"Ah? You don't like any of these jewels? Shopkeeper, don't you have anything better?" Gu Zhiyin asked the shopkeeper.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he hurriedly said with a smile: "To reply to the Princess, of course there is."

Gu Zhiyin: “Bring them all up for Miss Pei to choose from. If they are really exquisite and gorgeous, Miss Pei will be able to buy them all with her financial resources.”

The shopkeeper responded hurriedly, "Yes, Princess, Princess and Miss Pei, please wait a moment, I will bring it over right away."

Oh, big business.

"Sister, do you like any of these jewelry?" Gu Zhiyin asked Fu Yunyao again.

Fu Yunyao couldn't keep up with her train of thought. She was thinking about how to respond when she heard Gu Zhiyin say, "Forget it, forget it. We've already bought jewelry some time ago. We can't buy more even if we like it. Just take a look. After all, we are not like Miss Pei, who was born in a wealthy family and doesn't hesitate when buying things."

Fu Yunyao was confused: "..."

Gu Zhiyin pulled her to sit aside and looked at Pei Shuyan with an expression that said, "Take your time to choose, there's no rush."

Fu Yunyao moved her red lips, then remained silent.

Pei Shuyan's face looked a little ugly. Gu Zhiyin was clearly complimenting her, but for some reason she felt suffocated, as if her chest was stuffed with cotton, making her feel uncomfortable.

At this time, the shopkeeper's joyful laughter was heard from outside, followed by several waiters and maids filing in, each holding a box in their hands.

"Put them all down, be careful!" the shopkeeper said to everyone, and then said to Pei Shuyan with a smile on his face: "Miss Pei, take your time to choose."

After saying that, the shopkeeper led everyone out.

"Princess, Miss Pei is a guest. Madam asked the princess to entertain Miss Pei well. If Miss Pei likes anything, the princess will naturally give it to her."

At this time, a maid standing behind Pei Shuyan said to Fu Yunyao with a smile.

Gu Zhiyin lowered his eyes upon hearing this, hiding the coldness in his eyes.

Haha, it turns out it’s more than just accompanying you shopping.

The wife of Marquis Xing'an actually asked Fu Yunyao to buy things for Pei Shuyan. She was flattering a merchant woman to such an extent. There was definitely something wrong.

Even if Pei Shuyan has no shortage of money.

Fu Yunyao's face couldn't help but darken.

"Could Miss Pei be a princess of the royal family who has been exposed?" Gu Zhiyin looked at the old woman who was speaking with an expressionless face.

She was the confidant of the wife of Marquis Xing'an, and her surname was Yao.

"Princess, please be careful with your words. The royal bloodline must not be confused." Mother Yao said with fear in her eyes.

Pei Shuyan also said with a pale face: "Princess, you are talking nonsense like this, aren't you afraid of causing trouble with your words?"

If this news gets out, all nine generations of the Pei family will be killed.

"If that's not the case, then what right does Miss Pei have to ask the princess to accompany you shopping and playing? That's not enough. The princess has to pay for everything Miss Pei likes." Gu Zhiyin looked at the two of them indifferently and said.

Both Mother Yao and Pei Shuyan were choked by these words.

Why?

Of course, it was because the Pei family had a relationship with the third prince and was almost as wealthy as a country.

The Ji family lacks money and power, so they want to win over the Pei family.

The Pei family's identity cannot be changed. If they want to squeeze into the circle of aristocratic families in the capital, they can only change their family background, and marriage is the fastest way.

With Pei Shuyan's identity, even if she had a relationship with the third prince, it would be impossible for her to marry into a noble family as a wife. At most, she could be a concubine.

The Ji family was willing to marry him as a concubine, which made the Pei family excited.

But the Crown Prince's wife is Princess Minghua, who has a noble status. The Ji family does not dare to marry Pei Shuyan easily for fear of being criticized.

So Lady Xing'an used her status as a mother-in-law to put pressure on Fu Yunyao while thinking of a countermeasure.

It would be best if Fu Yunyao was smart and sensible enough to take the initiative to arrange for Ji Yuanwen to marry Pei Shuyan as his second wife.

But Mother Yao and Pei Shuyan knew all these things tacitly, but they didn't dare to say them out loud.

Pei Shuyan gritted her teeth secretly, with a smile on her face, and said: "Princess and Princess, please don't misunderstand. Madam Ji and my mother hit it off right away, so she treated me like her own child. That's why I wanted you to take care of me more. I definitely didn't mean to embarrass you. Even if you want to buy me some jewelry, I will never accept it. I troubled you to accompany me, so I should be the one giving it to you."

Gu Zhiyin showed a look of sudden enlightenment: "Is that so."
