The princess traveled through time for a year to help the prince build his kingdom and then left

The "Golden Branch Hairpin" was produced two days later.

He Fugui specifically asked his staff to place this product in the most conspicuous place on the second floor, and assigned someone to look after it and explain it.

In the bright display cabinet, the "Golden Branch Hairpin" sparkles with dazzling light and exudes an atmosphere of wealth.

The delicate texture and smooth surface refract colorful light, which is dazzling. Every detail shows the exquisite craftsmanship and unique design.

It lies quietly in the display cabinet, waiting for the appreciation and selection of the right person.

Shopkeeper He sent someone to the Prime Minister's Mansion early in the morning to inform Qi Siyue.

When Qi Siyue heard that the Gold and Silver Shop had launched a new product, she was very interested and came that morning.

Shopkeeper He warmly invited Qi Siyue to the second floor.

Qi Siyue fell in love with the "Golden Branch Hairpin" the first time she saw it.

After listening to Shopkeeper He's introduction and seeing the noble aura emanating from this hairpin, Qi Siyue felt that it was very suitable for her identity as a Crown Princess.

"How much is this? I want it."

Qi Siyue asked Chuntao to take out the purse.

Shopkeeper He hurried forward to explain:

"Ms. Qi, our boss said that this model was designed by a mysterious customer and he asked our shop to sell it to the highest bidder within three days."

Qi Siyue smiled disapprovingly:

"I'll give you 100 taels."

Shopkeeper He bent over with a smile on his face:

"Miss Qi, there are already four people who have offered higher prices than you, and the highest one is 500 taels."

"Who is it? Who dares to snatch things from our young lady?"

Chuntao said loudly.

Shopkeeper He smiled and said, "The one who has made the highest bid so far is Miss Qin from the General's Mansion."

"What?" Chuntao looked at her young lady.

Qi Siyue didn't expect that Qin Rubing also liked this hairpin.

She asked Shopkeeper He, "Are you sure this is the only one of its kind?"

"Exactly. This is a custom piece. The client only commissioned us to make one."

"If you buy it, it will definitely be unique in the entire imperial capital."

Qi Siyue hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll give you one thousand taels."

"okay!"

Shopkeeper He accepted the advance payment of 1000 taels and reminded Qi Siyue that the bidding would end at sunset on the third day.

The afternoon of the third day.

Qi Siyue came to the Gold and Silver Building again and went straight to the second floor.

She really likes this "Golden Branch Hairpin" very much.

She was about to become the most distinguished woman in the imperial capital. Accordingly, she had to have the best things.

"Manager He, can I take it away?"

Shopkeeper He came over with a nod and a bow.

"Miss Qi, it's like this. Miss Qin just came again. She has already paid 2000 taels in advance."

"what?!"

Qin Rubing must have done it on purpose, trying to snatch it from me.

Qi Siyue was so angry that she couldn't speak.

She liked this hairpin so much that she was planning to wear it to attend the lake party tomorrow.

"Shopkeeper!"

Shopkeeper He hurried forward.

"I'll give you 2100 taels."

Qi Siyue turned around and said to Chuntao: "Hurry back home and get another 1100 taels of silver."

Shopkeeper He smiled with curved eyebrows:

"Miss Qi, if no one offers a higher price than you before sunset, this hairpin will be yours."

Seeing that it would be sunset in an hour, Qi Siyue simply waited in the store.

Chuntao quickly brought the cash.

2100 taels of silver were first deposited in the store.

After a while, Zhuxiang and Yeyi, who were beside Qin Rubing, came over.

"Shopkeeper, our young lady asked us to come and get the hairpin."

Shopkeeper He said hurriedly: "Miss Qin's offer is no longer the highest."

"Oh? Is there anyone taller?"

Shopkeeper He pointed at Miss Qi and said, "This lady has the highest bid."

Qi Siyue raised her head proudly.

Zhuxiang bowed to Miss Qi.

"Thank you, Miss Qi."

Qi Siyue didn't understand what she meant and was too lazy to pay attention to her.

The shopkeeper asked Zhuxiang, "Will your lady raise the price?"

Zhu Xiang said simply: "We will not participate in the bidding."

Shopkeeper He gave Zhuxiang the 2000 taels of silver that Qin Rubing had paid in advance.

After Zhuxiang took the money, she had no intention of leaving.

She and Ye Yi still stood aside quietly, as if waiting for something.

Finally, the sun set.

Qi Siyue let out a sigh of relief.

Shopkeeper He asked someone to pack up the "Golden Branch Hairpin" and Chuntao took it.

Before going downstairs, Chuntao saw Zhuxiang still not leaving, and couldn't help asking:

"My young lady has already bought the hairpin. What are you waiting for here?"

"Wait for the money to be divided!" Zhuxiang said with a smile.

"Share the money, what money?"

Chuntao looked at Qi Siyue suspiciously.

Qi Siyue was also very curious and deliberately slowed down her pace as she went down the stairs.

All I could hear was Manager He fiddling with the abacus and calculating.

“制作成本200两，售出2100两，净赚1900两。三七开，七成是1330两。之前预付了100两定金。总共给你1430两。”

"Okay!" Zhuxiang agreed loudly.

what? !

Qi Siyue was startled and turned around and went upstairs.

She pointed at Zhuxiang angrily and said, "What are you doing?"

Ye Yi held a big knife and stood in front of Zhuxiang.

Zhuxiang hurriedly hugged the purse tightly to her chest.

She poked her head out from behind Ye Yi and said, "Miss Qi, you are the daughter of a prime minister, are you trying to rob me?"

Qi Siyue's hands were shaking with anger.

"That was my money, how did it end up in your pockets?"

Shopkeeper He hurried forward.

"Ms. Qi, calm down. This hairpin was designed by Miss Qin. Miss Qin is the client."

"We agreed in advance that the split would be 70% and 30%."

What was there that Qi Siyue didn't understand at this time? She was tricked by Qin Rubing.

The Gold and Silver House was the most famous jewelry store in the imperial capital. She didn't want to offend it, so she could only glare at Zhuxiang and walk away.

After getting on the carriage, she said viciously:

"Qin Rubing, just wait, you will have a hard time tomorrow."

Prince's Mansion.

When Chu Tianxing heard that Qi Siyue was tricked by Qin Rubing when she went to the gold and silver shop to buy jewelry, he felt annoyed.

"Why did she go and provoke Qin Rubing again? Doesn't she know that a little impatience can ruin a big plan?"

After Chu Tianxing and Li Shilin confirmed the relevant details again and again, they were still not at ease, so they called Li Yong and sent him to disguise himself as a boatman, and personally gave him some instructions.

It was past midnight, but Chu Tianxing was still not sleepy.

He felt a little reluctant to leave Qin Rubing.

But he was never a man of indecision.

He knew what he should do.

He never let his mother down.

Concubine Qi had already planted her ambitions deep in his heart.

His mother was not made queen, but as long as he could become emperor, his mother would be the empress dowager.

If it weren't for the powerful family influence of the Qi family, Chu Tianxing really had some doubts about whether Qi Siyue was suitable to be the Crown Princess.

Qi Siyue was proud of her proficiency in music, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child. She was born into a noble family and was both talented and beautiful. Chu Tianxing once believed that she was the model of a mother of the country.

A series of events that have happened recently have forced him to look at Qin Rubing, who is calm, decisive, resolute and resourceful, with new respect.

It would be great if a woman like this could become his helper.

What a pity, tomorrow is her death anniversary.
