After traveling through time, I became a princess in ancient times

"My dear guests, are you satisfied with this room?" the waiter asked softly, with a hint of anticipation on his face.

Xia Yurou looked around and nodded with satisfaction: "Thank you, little brother, this place is great."

The waiter left the room and went downstairs to continue greeting customers, while Xia Yurou gently helped Ren Chenxi to lie down on the bed.

She moved gently, afraid to touch his wound.

After settling Ren Chenxi down, Xia Yurou sat beside the bed and looked at him quietly.

The sunlight shone obliquely on his face, illuminating his handsome features and slightly closed eyes.

She couldn't help but fall into deep thought, her heart filled with confusion about this unknown world and worry about Ren Chenxi.

Xia Yurou walked to the window and opened it. A gust of fresh air blew in, mixed with the faint scent of flowers coming from afar.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm her inner turmoil.

Outside the window, there are endless pedestrians on the street and the hawkers’ cries one after another, forming a prosperous and vibrant picture.

However, all this seemed inconsistent with her mood at the moment, and she could not take her eyes off Ren Chenxi.

Xia Yurou still thought that she should find a doctor to treat him first, so she went downstairs to ask the shopkeeper if there was a skilled doctor nearby.

When the shopkeeper heard Xia Yurou's description, he immediately recommended a doctor who was quite famous in the city to her.

She found the clinic according to the shopkeeper's instructions. The inside was filled with the aroma of medicine and there was only an older doctor taking the patient's pulse.

After Xia Yurou explained her purpose to him, the doctor quickly took the medical box and followed her back to Yuelai Inn.

Arriving at the room on the second floor, the doctor carefully examined Ren Chenxi's injuries and pulse, and said, "This young man is safe, but there is some smoke left in his body that caused him to be unconscious. I will prescribe some detoxifying medicine for him, and with acupuncture, I believe he will wake up soon."

Afterwards, Xia Yurou paid the medical bills and sent the doctor away, then carefully fed the detoxifying medicine to Ren Chenxi.

His brows relaxed slightly, as if he felt the coolness of the medicine.

After feeding the medicine, Xia Yurou sat by the bed and stared at Ren Chenxi's peaceful sleeping face, her heart filled with anxiety and uneasiness.

She got up, gently covered him with the quilt, and then went downstairs.

The inn was bustling with people, and the waiter was busy shuttling between the tables and chairs, serving tea and water to the guests.

Xia Yurou walked to the counter and asked softly, "Boss, where is this place?"

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper stopped what he was doing and looked at Xia Yurou suspiciously: "Miss, this is Longyang City, why are you..."

Longyang City?

Xia Yurou's heart sank suddenly. There was no record of Longyang City in the history she had learned.

She took a deep breath and tried to keep herself calm: "What year is it now? What dynasty?"

The shopkeeper scratched his head, feeling unfamiliar with these words: "Girl, our Longyang City has been the capital of the Dragon Kingdom since ancient times."

Xia Yurou's heart trembled as she realized that she might have really come to a completely unfamiliar world.

She knew very well that she might not be able to go back, but although the money she had could provide for her food and clothing temporarily, she still needed to think long-term.

"Boss, is there a pawnshop in this city?"

"Girl, the pawnshop is just over the east gate of the city. Go out and walk east. You will see it after two streets."

Back in the room, Xia Yurou gently opened her bag, picked out a few pieces of jewelry that she didn't like very much and wrapped them with a clean cloth.

These jewelries are old items from the Tang Dynasty that Xia Yurou brought from the modern era, and now they have become her life-saving straw in this strange world.

Xia Yurou walked out of the inn, the sunlight shone obliquely on her face, and the breeze brought a hint of coolness.

She walked eastward along the street, with shops lined up on both sides and a constant stream of pedestrians.

After walking two streets, an ancient shop came into view. On the lintel hung a plaque, and a gilded word "Dang" swayed gently in the wind.

Xia Yurou walked into the store. The light inside was dim and a stale smell filled the air.

She looked around and saw that the room was filled with all kinds of items, ranging from antique jade to gold and silver jewelry.

An old man was sitting behind the counter, holding a yellowed book in his hands, quietly looking at Xia Yurou who walked in.

She walked to the counter and gently placed the package in her hand on the table.

"Boss, I want to pawn these pieces of jewelry."

The boss put down the book in his hand and reached out to open the package.

As the package was unfolded, several pieces of jewelry with warm colors and exquisite carvings came into view.

His eyes focused, and he secretly admired that although these jewels were not for royal use, they were definitely not ordinary people's things.

Then, the boss picked up one of the jade pendants and rubbed it carefully in his hand, feeling its cool and delicate touch.

"Girl, although these jewelry of yours are exquisitely crafted, they are not worth much. How do you think I will give you this amount?"

As he spoke, he stretched out two fingers, indicating two hundred taels of silver coins.

Xia Yurou frowned slightly. She naturally knew that the value of the jewelry was far more than two hundred taels of silver coins.

Seeing the boss's embarrassed look, she couldn't help but sneer in her heart, and tried to keep herself calm: "Boss, you are also a person who knows the value of things. Although these items are not from the palace, they are also made by famous people. Your two hundred taels of silver coins are a bit too stingy, aren't they?"

A gleam of light flashed in the boss's eyes. He gently put down the jade pendant in his hand and tapped his fingers on the table, as if thinking about something.

After a moment, he showed an embarrassment on his face, and said in a tentative voice, "Girl, to be honest, business has been slow recently, and my pawnshop is barely able to survive. Two hundred taels of silver is the highest price I can offer. Other pawnshops will only give you less."

Upon hearing this, Xia Yurou picked up the package in disappointment and turned around to leave.

Seeing that the duck in his mouth was about to fly away, the boss could no longer sit still, and immediately stood up and shouted: "Wait a minute, girl, we can still discuss the price."

When Xia Yurou heard what he said, she stopped and tilted her head slightly, with a questioning look in her eyes.

The boss walked quickly to her side, his tone full of sincerity: "Girl, how about I add another hundred taels of silver coins?"

Xia Yurou's heart moved, and she turned around and looked directly at the boss. This might be the highest price he could offer.

"Okay, let's do as the boss says."

After completing the transaction, Xia Yurou returned to the inn carrying the heavy silver coins.

Although her steps were light, each step was loaded with heavy thoughts.

When he returned to the room, a faint herbal scent wafted into his nose. It was the calming medicine that the innkeeper's wife had prepared for Ren Chenxi.
