I became a concubine in the palace and cured my master's hidden disease.

Lin Yan's enthusiasm was chilled as if by a basin of ice water, and she suddenly felt that she seemed to have left a bad impression in her heart.

Come to think of it, I am now openly trying to steal her man and I also want to leave a good impression on her. How could I have such naive thoughts?

Lin Yan shook her head. It was over. She would be killed by Zhao Yuan today. She had been planning for so long. Suddenly, she collapsed. She wanted to kill Zhao Yuan, but now she didn't dare to do that.

She followed them obediently and properly, acting as a supporting maid.

Zhao Yuan was the first to sit on the most luxurious chair, and Mu Shirley also sat on a luxurious chair next to her. The shopkeeper immediately brought two cups of premium pearl milk tea.

Lin Yan had never thought that her family's milk tea had become an item for entertaining VIPs. She was feeling disappointed just now, but immediately became a little proud again.

Mu Xueli was not in a good mood to choose jewelry now, and she kept looking at this legendary concubine.

It's just a man's thing, I have never taken it seriously, let alone a dying man. Today is the last day of the bet that has shocked the whole city!

From just now, to when she entered the door, until now, the concubine's behavior has been very well-behaved. Of course, if you ignore the fact that she was helped down from the carriage by the prince himself, there is no need for me to target her now.

But it was because the prince personally helped her down that she could not tolerate it, even if she was a dying person! She had planned for a long time and finally waited for her to take the throne. Just when she was about to reap the fruits, a Cheng Yaojin suddenly appeared and plucked her golden fruits.

You can tolerate your uncle, you can’t tolerate your aunt, but you must tolerate your sister.

She really wanted to slap the concubine's daughter of the Minister of Rites like she did last time. The wedding date was approaching, and she absolutely could not cause trouble again for a favored concubine.

She is just a concubine, a man's toy. Even if she doesn't die now, I can slowly deal with her after I enter the mansion.

Although there were many braziers in the room, the people serving inside still felt a cold chill blowing in their faces.

The clever waiter had already retreated, and in order to ease the atmosphere, the shopkeeper no longer tested the buyer's bottom line. He gritted his teeth and took out an exquisite gold and emerald phoenix hairpin and placed it on the large nanmu wooden table in front of Mu Shirley.

The moment the red satin cloth covering the plate was removed, everyone present's eyes were drawn to it.

"So beautiful! It can be described as exquisitely crafted!" Lin Yan watched the phoenix hairpin glowing, and tried to control her body and keep steady. She pinched her thigh hard, fearing that she would be embarrassed if she rushed forward impulsively and insisted on taking a closer look.

I have mixed feelings. It should have belonged to me, but who can blame me for my bad luck? I happened to run into my mortal enemy and my boss! Now I can only peek.

“Look, Miss Mu, this is a masterpiece that Master Lu spent three months to create, Feng Ao Jiu Tian!

The peacock feather above was selected from 100 peacocks, and it will change color under the sunlight.

The two emeralds on the eyes are pure and crystal clear, the best of the best. The phoenix is ​​lifelike, and every detail is carefully selected, and it is exquisitely crafted!" The shopkeeper, who is worthy of being an old fox, recommended it to Mu Shirley.

Of course, Mu Xueli was deeply impressed by the phoenix hairpin, but judging from the shopkeeper's tone, he would not be cheap, as she didn't have much money in her pocket.

She just took a greedy look at the phoenix hairpin and lowered her head pretending to be shy.

The shopkeeper was also a very good person. He immediately placed the tray in front of Prince Rui with a smile.

Zhao Yuan picked up the phoenix hairpin and spun it in the air. A ray of sunlight shone through the bright tiles on the roof and illuminated the hairpin.

The phoenix hairpin, shining with golden light, leaped into the air just like the life you injected into me, making the entire hall dazzling in an instant.

"It's worthy of Master Lu's craftsmanship!" Zhao Yuan couldn't help but praise from the bottom of his heart, and then gently put the phoenix hairpin back.

Although I have no feelings for my fiancée Mu Xueli, it would be fine if the price was not expensive. But is it expensive? Forget it. I don't know how many months she can live in the palace. It would be a pity to give her such a good thing.

The shopkeeper awkwardly put the phoenix hairpin back in front of Mu Xueli. This engaged couple was so interesting, and he couldn't afford to offend either of them, so he just had to wait and see for now!

Zhao Yuan lowered his head and drank his pearl milk tea, treating himself as an invisible person from beginning to end.

Mu Xueli was embarrassed. Her personal maid Xiangling was quite perceptive and said with a smile, "The shopkeeper just talked about the beauty of the phoenix hairpin here without telling us the price. Is he trying to give it to my young lady as a favor?"

"Miss Xiangling, you are joking! It's my fault. If it was mine, I would give it to you. The key is that this thing does not belong to me, and I am not qualified to give it to you.

The price is not expensive, only 53,000 taels will be enough!"

Mu Xueli gasped when she heard the price. Fifty-three thousand taels was not expensive. It was a good thing he could afford it.

The reason I came here this time was to buy a lotus hairpin worth several hundred taels to show off, and a few cheap gold or jade bracelets to reward my concubines.

This money was saved by my aunt for a long time, and she gave it to me secretly last night.

Lin Yan's legs and feet were shaking, and she almost knelt down to the shopkeeper. It turned out that after selling pearl milk tea for three days, she only had enough to buy a phoenix hairpin. If she had known earlier, she would have opened a jewelry store, where she could sell one piece to support herself for a year, and she wouldn't have to work so hard, and it would be clean and decent.

Zhao Yuan's hand holding the teacup trembled a bit. As far as he knew, this jewelry store was secretly under the name of the second brother.

In the past, I bought a few thousand points here, but I thought it was too expensive. A phoenix hairpin costs fifty-three thousand taels. I don’t know how much money the second brother has saved. No wonder he dared to casually bet on the life and death of his concubine and spent tens of thousands!

Comparing yourself to others will only make you angry! I wonder if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows this!

The shopkeeper no longer looked at Mu Xueli, but turned his eyes to Prince Rui.

Prince Rui felt the shopkeeper's gaze and said, "I came here today just to browse around, not to buy anything. Don't look at me like that. If Miss Mu likes it, just buy it. I will never compete with her for it."

Just a few simple words pushed Mu Xueli into the abyss. I am your soon-to-be-married daughter-in-law, how can you be so disrespectful to me!

You really divided it clearly, didn't you? I didn't want you to grab it, but I wanted you to grab it. Can't you just rush to pay for it?

Isn't it normal for a fiancé to give his fiancée a decent headdress?

"Haha!" The shopkeeper stopped asking about Mu Xueli. If a concubine's daughter had not been married to Prince Rui, who would know her? He was ready to put the phoenix hairpin away quickly.

"Wait!" A woman with her hair tied up in a bun, a peony jade hairpin inserted diagonally in her hair, and a bunch of all kinds of glittering gold and silver jewels, matching earrings on her ears, and a string of three-layer azure beads around her neck; all ten fingers were covered with gold-inlaid gems, as well as rings made of jade, tortoise shell and other materials.

She wore a sky blue silk plain dress with crabapple embroidery inside and a lavender seven-layer brocade silk gauze dress outside.

There was a light blue ribbon hanging from her waist, and a lavender-colored exquisite purse was also inlaid with gold and silver thread dodder patterns. She was about 1.7 meters tall and weighed 200 kilograms. She looked wealthy from the inside out.

"What a mobile jewelry vault!" Lin Yan couldn't help but mutter in her heart.

"Madam Dingguo! Distinguished guest, distinguished guest, please serve our little prince some premium pearl milk tea!" The shopkeeper greeted them warmly in order to ease the awkward atmosphere.

The wife of Duke Dingguo first bowed politely to Prince Rui. Prince Rui stood up and bowed in return, and Mu Shirley also stood up and bowed to the wife of Duke Dingguo.

“I didn’t expect to see Prince Rui and the future Princess Rui, Miss Mu, here today!” Lady Dingguo said with a smile as she walked to the large golden nanmu table.

"The wife of Duke Dingguo was just joking. She just happened to pass by and ran into Miss Mu by chance!" Prince Rui explained.

"Why, neither of you like this phoenix hairpin?" Lady Dingguo returned the topic to the phoenix hairpin. She looked down on Mu Xueli from the bottom of her heart, who was of a very low birth.

Even if she was his own illegitimate son, he would not agree to marry her. She was so petty and unpresentable! She was such a naive woman that she dared to risk her life to marry into the Rui Palace just to get close to the rich and powerful.

Now the noble ladies in Beijing are talking about Mu Xueli, thinking that she is a fool, and they all decided not to deal with her if they can. They held various banquets and tried to exclude her to avoid losing her status.

"That's not the case. It's the best of the best. It's just that I'm a bit short of money!" Zhao Yuan said calmly.

"Prince Rui, are you making fun of this old woman?" The lady of Duke Dingguo's mansion picked up the phoenix hairpin and examined it from left to right. There was no flaw at all. She imagined her daughter wearing it when she got married and could not help laughing.

"How can I compare with you, Madam Dingguo, who is so wealthy? This time when the eighth prince went out of the palace to build a mansion, my father allocated him an extra 100,000 taels of silver! It is so that he can marry your daughter Mingzhu in a grand manner." Zhao Yuan teased as he looked at the wife of Duke Dingguo with a satisfied look on her face.

"That's the great grace of His Majesty!" The wife of Duke Dingguo stood up and bowed in the direction of the imperial palace.

"Since you don't want to buy it, I won't be polite!" The wife of Duke Dingguo really liked this phoenix hairpin and signaled the shopkeeper to pack it up with her eyes.

Prince Rui was well-known in the circle for being stingy. She knew this more or less from her husband, so she didn't plan to talk to him much.

The shopkeeper was grinning from ear to ear! He packed it up quickly. He took out a one meter square box from somewhere and opened it with a smile.

A set of accessories were neatly arranged inside, including hairpins, hairpins, combs, earrings, necklaces, silver armlets with Karma pestle patterns, and bracelets, all made of precious materials such as pearls, jade, gold, ivory, and tortoise shells, with intricate engraving, hollowing, and coiling techniques.

"So beautiful!" This was the exclamation that everyone present couldn't help but utter.

...............................

"Take a look, is there anything you like?" The shopkeeper gave everyone a cunning look and asked the question knowingly.

"I do like it, but you don't want to give it to us, do you?" Zhao Yuan also teased, imitating Xiang Ling's words.

“Prince Rui, you are joking. This is a small business and I am just a worker. As you can see from this set of jewelry, every material is of the finest quality and carefully selected, and the workmanship is extremely fine!…” Before the shopkeeper Huang Po could finish boasting about her products.

"Name a price?" The wife of Duke Dingguo interrupted the shopkeeper's chattering arrogantly.

"No deception, three hundred thousand taels!"

Today he finally opened his eyes. The second son was the one who was the best at making money. Zhao Yuan really wanted to pull the Crown Prince over. The hole in the Ministry of Revenue could be solved by Wanfuzhai. No wonder the second son was so unconvinced that the Crown Prince was sitting below the chair.

The wife of Duke Dingguo couldn't help but frown, thought silently for a while, and nodded!

Lin Yan stood aside with eyes wide open, watching quietly, simply thinking that the woman in front of her was so rich! When could she be so arrogant?

Mu Xueli stood aside with envy. Ever since the wife of Duke Dingguo came in, she had no right to sit down.

It seems that Mingzhu's wedding is going to be a grand affair. The two of them are getting married on the same day. A rough estimate shows that this wedding would cost tens of millions of taels of silver, and a ten-mile long red make-up is definitely a must.

What about me? I can only describe myself as shabby. My father only earns a few thousand taels a year, and after the household expenses, there is very little money left for me as a dowry.

In addition, since she was still a concubine's daughter, the resources she could use on herself were even more limited, and this was when she was going to marry into the Rui Palace.

Daddy finally decided to give me a dowry of 3,000 taels. When the two are compared, it's like heaven and earth. I really want to find a place to hide.

I don't know how the Imperial Astronomical Observatory calculated it, but they insisted on arranging the wedding of the two on the same day. Should I go to the palace and cry to Concubine De, and get some reward or change the wedding date?

"Shopkeeper, ask your Master Lu to come to my house tomorrow. I need to make some custom orders. I just happened to pass by today and came in to take a look!" Lady Dingguo looked up at the shopkeeper and said coldly.

The shopkeeper was unusually happy, with a big smile on his face, and nodded in agreement.

"Prince Rui, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. Please take your time to choose!" Lady Dingguo stood up, raised her eyes and smiled as she bowed to Zhao Yuan.

"Yes!" Zhao Yuan simply stood up and bowed.

The shopkeeper once again performed magic and took out a box that was one meter square and placed it on the large nanmu table.

"Prince Rui, Miss Mu, I have some fine products here, you can take your time to choose."

Mu Shirley could only step forward awkwardly. She no longer had the courage to buy anything.

Her fiancé obviously didn't want to buy anything for her, and it would seem too shabby if she only bought something worth a few hundred taels in front of him.
