Female supremacy: The journey of a pregnant princess to the top
Chapter 5 Choosing a Gift
In the following days, Jiang Lingyue went to the academy on time. She got up in the morning to study cultural courses, did physical training in the afternoon, and returned home in the evening to meditate alone to cultivate her spiritual power.
Every day is busy and fulfilling. In the blink of an eye, five days have passed and it is the college's day off.
It had been several days since then, and she still had no free time to visit the capital city of Fengqi. But when her day off came, she could no longer suppress the urge to go shopping.
In this world, cultivation resources are purchased with spirit stones, but daily necessities such as food, clothing, housing and transportation are still traded with gold, silver and money.
As the most useless ninth princess in the royal family, she received very few spirit stones every month, but a lot of gold, silver and other money.
At dawn, Jiang Lingyue went out with her personal maid Chuntao and headed straight for the South Street Market, the most prosperous market in the capital.
There were bursts of shouting and hawking sounds coming from the streets and alleys, one after another, it was so lively!
The streets are lined with all kinds of utensils and supplies: exquisite porcelain, gorgeous silks, practical farm tools... and those creative handmade gadgets that are hard to put down.
Wherever you look, you will see a dazzling array of colorful fruits and vegetables, exuding enticing aroma; and the snacks with a variety of flavors are even more mouth-watering, like a feast for your taste buds.
She strolled through the place, savoring the food and admiring the bustling scene, and couldn't help but think of the scene in "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" that she had seen in her previous life. Everything in front of her was so similar, as if the famous painting was vividly presented in front of her.
She was intoxicated in this picturesque atmosphere, feeling extremely happy. She ate while walking and unknowingly bought many of her favorite items.
Passing by a ready-made clothing store, they went in and took a look around. Jiang Lingyue was dazzled by the beautiful clothes of various styles.
But she resisted the urge to buy any because she set a small goal for herself regarding beautiful clothes: she would not buy new clothes until she succeeded in losing weight.
After a while, they arrived in front of a luxurious pavilion on the street. A plaque on the door read "Treasure Pavilion". Jiang Lingyue and his group walked in with great interest.
There are quite a lot of items inside. On the rows of shelves and display cabinets, there are all kinds of precious rouge and powder, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings.
Jiang Lingyue saw a display case filled with a dazzling array of jade products, and couldn't help but think of Master Wen who had helped her in the academy. At that time, she was in a hurry and could only thank him verbally, so this time she could choose a gift as a thank you.
After carefully comparing them for a long time, she still couldn't tell the quality of the jade and could only choose based on her feelings. In the end, she chose several styles but couldn't make up her mind and fell into a dilemma.
Upon seeing this, the proprietress immediately stepped forward to promote her products, praising them to the skies and wanting her to buy them all.
"Ninth Princess likes jade?" Just as he was hesitating, a hearty voice came from the door.
She looked up and saw a pair of beautiful twin girls who looked to be in their twenties walking towards her.
The one wearing dark green clothes is the sixth princess Jiang Lingxiang, who has dual spiritual roots of wood and fire at the lower level of the earth rank, and the one wearing a light green dress is the seventh princess Jiang Lingqiao, who has dual spiritual roots of wood and water at the lower level of the earth rank. The actual age of the two is just over 100 years old, and their cultivation is in the late stage of foundation building.
"Just take a look." Jiang Lingyue nodded in response, "Sixth sister, Seventh sister, are you interested too?"
"These things all look the same to me." The Sixth Princess waved her hand nonchalantly, "But Seventh Sister is more knowledgeable."
The Seventh Princess was a little surprised. Why did Old Nine, who was only interested in eating before, suddenly want to choose jade? But it wouldn't hurt to help her take a look.
"Have you taken a fancy to any of those?" The Seventh Princess looked up and looked at them. "For yourself or as a gift?"
"Giving it away."
"Male?" A hint of interest flashed in the seventh princess' eyes.
"Ahem, um, a friend." Jiang Lingyue was a little embarrassed.
Hearing the affirmative answer, the Seventh Princess saw that she was at a loss, so she smiled and stopped asking questions. Instead, she picked up the jade pendant and examined it carefully.
"This piece has obvious traces of human intervention, this piece of jade is a bit rough, and this one has an impure color..."
After a round of selection, only two jade pendants were left, which happened to be the two she originally liked the most. It seems that although she doesn't know much about jade, her intuition is good.
After thanking him, Jiang Lingyue bought both jade pendants. It's rare to find something you like, so you should give one to someone else and keep one for yourself.
"I'm going to go over there and take a look at the new calligraphy and paintings." The Seventh Princess muttered as she walked, "I wonder if I can find something that the Second Princess will like."
"My eldest sister helped me out last time. I came here to pick out a gift, but I don't know what to choose." The Sixth Princess was scratching her head in worry.
"Sixth sister, don't worry too much." Jiang Lingyue said, "No matter what you give, as long as it's from your heart, I believe that the eldest sister will like it."
"Really?" The Sixth Princess suddenly realized. "Then I'll turn around again."
Seeing that the two princesses were busy, Jiang Lingyue stopped bothering them.
She randomly picked out some jewelry, put everything into a storage bag, and then left with her maid.
The two walked out of the Treasure Pavilion and turned the corner. Suddenly, they heard a burst of noise coming from afar. Looking over, they saw many common people gathered in front of the main gate of the capital government, talking and pointing.
"Chun Tao, let's go over and take a look." Jiang Lingyue turned around and ordered.
"As you command!" Chun Tao perked up. "There are many people ahead, so please be careful, Your Highness."
Then they walked forward.
