The shopkeeper said with some pride, "The phoenix crown that Princess Mingzhu wore when she got married was also made by our master craftsman."

"The master craftsman said that the craftsmanship of these two headpieces is similar."

The shopkeeper said this with a wink, implying that buying this crown would be equivalent to wearing the same phoenix crown as Princess Mingzhu.

Just think about it, how respectable that would be.

Qian Fengping was still rational, cleared his throat and asked.

"Shopkeeper, how much is this?"

The shopkeeper stretched out five fingers and gestured at her twice.

Fang Nanzhi swallowed and said, "Five hundred taels?"

"Five thousand taels." The shopkeeper said firmly.

Qian Fengping took her daughter and left.

Five thousand taels. Even if you sell her and her daughter together, they are not worth that much.

All the savings we have accumulated over the years have been used to help my second brother get married, and now our family is really poor.

"Don't go, madam. This crown is five thousand taels for others, but if this young lady wants it, I won't take a penny."

The shopkeeper quickly stopped the man.

The mother and daughter stopped now. Qian Fengping looked at her daughter, a little surprised.

Although her daughter is lively and cute and loved by everyone, her face is not worth five thousand taels just by showing it to others.

Fang Nanzhi also stretched out his hand and pointed at his nose.

"I?"

The shopkeeper nodded with a smile, his eyes sweeping calmly over the little girl's waist.

"Just based on this jade pendant on you, I would give you the entire store, not to mention our most valuable treasure."

Fang Nanzhi lowered his head and touched the jade pendant, feeling a little surprised.

This was a gift from the prince. She has always used it as a token to enter and exit the palace. She didn't expect that someone outside the palace would recognize it?

Something is wrong. Not everyone can recognize the prince's token, right?

When he looked up again and saw the shopkeeper's kind smile, Fang Nanzhi felt that he had other intentions.

Could it be that he wants to please the prince through her?

"Forget it, I don't want it." The little girl waved her hand and was about to leave.

The shopkeeper's smile almost fell, and he quickly trotted to catch up.

"Oh, young lady, are you dissatisfied with that crown? If you don't like this one, there are many more in the store for you to choose from."

The nicer the shopkeeper's attitude, the more cautious Fang Nanzhi became.

At this moment, a gentle female voice sounded from the second floor.

"Boss, I want that headgear."

The three people who were entangled subconsciously turned around.

I saw a woman coming down the stairs. She was wearing a light blue plain dress, a wooden hairpin on her head, with a delicate face and a somewhat distant look.

She was followed by an old nanny and several maids.

His whole temperament exudes an extraordinary aura.

The woman's gaze fell on Fang Nanzhi without any concealment. There was scrutiny and nostalgia in her eyes, as if she was looking at some old friend through her.

"I'm sorry, Princess Mingzhu, but this young lady chose the tiara first."

The shopkeeper smiled and saluted two steps forward.

Fang Nanzhi was shocked. This shopkeeper was so bold.

In order to please the Crown Prince, would he rather offend Princess Mingzhu?

Fang Nanzhi saluted with neither arrogance nor servility: "Your humble servant greets Princess Mingzhu. My mother and I do not agree on this crown. Please make your decision, Princess."

Qian Fengping also followed suit and saluted.

The mother and daughter had only one thought in their minds: she was worthy of being a royal princess, and she gave off an otherworldly feeling just by standing there.

After hearing what Fang Nanzhi said, the shopkeeper couldn't insist and could only pack up the store's treasure himself.

The eldest princess didn't even look at him, but just raised her hand slightly.

The old nanny behind her came out and handed the box to Fang Nanzhi with both hands.

"Doctor Fang, my princess and you are destined to meet. This is our first meeting, so consider this phoenix crown as a greeting gift."

Fang Nanzhi was a little surprised.

She had no impression of Princess Mingzhu.

Giving her such an expensive gift the first time you meet her?

Fang Nanzhi felt that she didn't check the almanac before going out today, and maybe today would be a good day for fortune. Why did everyone want to give her something?

She did not reach out to take the box, but looked at Princess Mingzhu without changing her expression.

"I appreciate the princess's kindness, but the phoenix crown is too valuable for me to bear."

The nanny was still hunched over and didn't get up.

The eldest princess said with a deeper meaning, "No matter how beautiful the jewelry is, it is just a dead object. What is valuable is always people, and Miss Fang is precious in this way."

What does it mean?

Fang Nanzhi felt uneasy.

My father once said that even if a pie falls from the sky, there is a trap underneath the pie.

Before she could refuse, the eldest princess spoke again: "Miss Fang, you have done a great service in treating the Crown Prince. I am his aunt, and I should reward you."

Fang Nanzhi frowned slightly.

The task of saving the prince was mainly done by the master, and the emperor has already given him a reward.

The Princess will appreciate it again...

She hesitated for a moment, then reached out to take the box.

"Your humble servant thanks the Princess."

There was no way. In terms of status, the eldest princess was the monarch and she was a subject. If she refused the reward from the superior, it would be a disrespect to him.

Princess Mingzhu nodded slightly, seeming satisfied with her tact, and then left with her people.

After everyone left, Qian Fengping looked at the box worriedly, as if it were a hot potato.

"Go back and talk to your father and second uncle and see how to deal with it."

Fang Nanzhi nodded obediently.

Princess Mingzhu doesn't seem to have any malicious intentions, but it's also quite puzzling.

Princess Mingzhu was helped into the carriage and couldn't help but be distracted.

They look so similar. This girl's eyes are 70% similar to that man's, even more like him than her daughter's.

Her personality is exactly the same as that man's sister.

"Miss Fang has been to the palace many times. Has she met the emperor?"

she asked softly.

"I've met him several times." The nanny said respectfully.

"Did my royal brother notice anything?"

Mammy shook her head.

"Probably not. I haven't heard that the palace has investigated this matter. Princess, you can rest assured. It happened too long ago and most of the people involved are dead. I'm afraid no one would think about it that way."

Princess Mingzhu looked off into the distance and said, "But those who knew him back then might have some doubts."

She smiled bitterly.

During this period, she had someone check Fang Nanzhi's background.

My biological mother fled to Mushan Village and died early.

"We have to pave the way for this little girl. We can't let the things of the previous generation affect her path." Princess Mingzhu's eyes became firm.

The nanny hesitated and asked, "Princess, do you want to recognize Miss Fang?"

Princess Mingzhu shook her head.

What identity should be used to recognize each other?

Relatives or enemies?

Fang Nanzhi knew nothing about Princess Mingzhu's dilemma. She and her mother were about to leave, but the shopkeeper tried to stop her with an expression that looked like he was about to cry.

"Miss Fang, why don't you take another look? We still have a lot of jewelry. It's a rare opportunity for you to come to our store. If I can't treat you well, I will have to explain to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Fang Nanzhi paused.

"Do you know the prince?"
