Female-male sex: Salted fish forced to rise to prominence

In the spacious and bright hall, Shopkeeper Huang carefully reached out and lifted the heavy curtain covering the wall, then opened the latch with ease and slowly pushed open the door that looked ordinary but actually held a secret.

As the crack in the door gradually widened, a breath of fresh air blew in, as if unveiling a mysterious world. It turned out that there was a whole new world behind this wall!

After passing through the doorway, a hidden secret door appeared before his eyes. Shopkeeper Huang walked into the secret door with steady steps, and there was a small and exquisite courtyard inside.

The courtyard is surrounded by various exotic flowers and plants, emitting bursts of fragrance. At the back of the courtyard, there are several antique rooms, giving people a sense of tranquility and peace.

After walking a few steps further, the view suddenly opened up. A towering tree, like a giant green umbrella, stood proudly beneath the scorching sun. Its dense branches and leaves intertwined, creating a cool and pleasant shade.

Beneath this green shade stood an exquisite chair carved from fine jade. At that moment, a middle-aged man with an elegant demeanor sat leisurely and contentedly on the chair, his posture as graceful as a jade tree in the wind, a delight to the eye.

He extended one slender jade-like finger, steadily holding a finely crafted blue and white porcelain cup. With his other hand, he gently pinched the tea lid and elegantly skimmed off the white foam floating on the surface of the tea.

Then, he tilted his head back slightly and took a sip of the freshly roasted Rain-Predawn Longjing tea that had just been delivered all the way from Jiangnan. Instantly, an expression of immense satisfaction and contentment crossed his face.

Behind the man stood two burly and imposing guards—Anhuo and Yueren. At their waists each wore an incredibly sharp sword, its scabbard inlaid with dazzling gems, gleaming with a dazzling light.

The two men had expressionless faces and sharp eyes. They remained highly vigilant at all times to protect their master's safety.

At this time, Shopkeeper Huang quickly stepped forward, bowed deeply to the distinguished man, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, everything has been properly handled according to your instructions.

Su Yu is indeed extremely intelligent and clever. Not only did she successfully help the store sell a jade pendant at a high price, but she also cleverly avoided angering Princess Ronghua.

After saying this, Shopkeeper Huang quietly waited for the prince's response, secretly speculating in his heart what might happen next.

"Then send a few people to keep an eye on him," Li Ruize gave the order.

Although Manager Huang was puzzled as to why his master would send someone to follow an ordinary teenager, he was a good and obedient servant, so he still respectfully replied "yes".

Shopkeeper Huang added: "However, Su Yu bought all the black jade you brought back from the north. That thing has been there for a long time and no one has mentioned it. It's very strange that he bought so much at once."

Li Ruize, who was drinking tea, paused when he heard this. That was when he led troops to support General Bai Lao and fight against the Huns in the north two years ago, and they won a victory.

On his way back, he accidentally discovered a piece of jade on a mountain. The jade was completely black in color. He thought it was interesting and ordered people to dig some up and bring it back.

Unexpectedly, it was left in the store for a long time without anyone paying attention to it.

He glanced at the shopkeeper with his narrow and long almond-shaped eyes and said jokingly: "Maybe he and I are destined to be together. We both like these things."

On the other side of the luxurious carriage, two pretty girls in yellow and pink sat side by side. In the opposite row sat four charming maids.

This carriage was clearly unique, being pulled by two horses, and its body was both spacious and long. The interior was also fully equipped with everything from food and daily necessities.

The interior of the car is covered with a layer of lush, soft and comfortable carpet, and even the seats are carefully crafted into soft cushions and equipped with pillows that fit the waist curve. In this way, passengers can enjoy the ultimate comfort experience.

At this moment, the distinguished Princess Ronghua, with a face full of joy, handed an exquisite box to Chen Manli, who was sitting upright beside her. "Sister Manli, take it quickly! This is your jade pendant."

Fortunately, that fat guy has some good sense. If he dares to continue raising the price, this princess will definitely send someone to teach him a lesson! "The words revealed an unquestionable royal majesty.

However, facing the princess's kind gift, Chen Manli seemed a little uneasy. She quickly held up her hands and said, "No, princess! You spent such a huge amount of money to buy this jade pendant. I am truly unworthy of it! How dare I easily accept such a generous gift?"

As she spoke, Chen Manli's eyes revealed a hint of timidity, as if she was very embarrassed to accept such a valuable gift.

Princess Ronghua waved her hand with great dignity, raised her head proudly and said, "This princess doesn't care about this little bit of silver. We are close friends, there is no distinction between you and me."

Chen Manli was deeply moved. She looked at Princess Ronghua with tearful eyes and said, "The princess is so good to me. She is truly a beautiful and kind person."

Furong, the princess's personal maid sitting opposite her, lowered her head and rolled her eyes silently when she heard this.

I thought that every time the daughter of the Chen family in the Shangshu Mansion asked my princess to go out, she would buy some expensive things. At first, she would act as if she didn't have enough money, and then my master would pay the bill.

If Miss Chen said a few more nice words, her princess would just give it to her. Every time she did this, she never returned the gift. She doesn't look like a noble daughter raised in a wealthy family at all. She is really petty.

She also mentioned it to the princess in a subtle way, but unfortunately, her princess was simple-minded and just said that these were just small amounts of money and that good friends shouldn't care about so many things.

She had no choice. She couldn't go past her master and tell the princess about it. It was really frustrating.

Her other personal maid, Jasmine, had a blank expression and a cold face, as if she was not interested in the excuses of these little girls. Her only goal was to protect the princess's safety.

Chen Manli, on the other hand, was secretly complaining in her heart that this stupid princess was almost the same as Su Yu. No wonder she was able to let Su Yu get away unscathed. It was such a waste of her extremely noble status.

But thinking that if I could find this piece of high-quality jade and give it to my father, he would definitely be happy. Then, if I let my mother talk to him, maybe he would agree to come and arrange the marriage between her and Su Yu.

Princess Ronghua smiled even more after hearing what Chen Manli said. She loved to hear Sister Manli praise her the most. Sister Manli was pretty and cute, and was also a famous talented woman. She was a very respected aristocratic woman in their circle in the capital.

Although she was of noble status and was always surrounded by people who flattered her, none of them was as considerate as Sister Manli, and her words were so soothing, which was exactly what she wanted.

Princess Ronghua smiled happily, took a piece of crispy candy on the plate on the coffee table, took a bite, and found it crispy and fragrant, with a layer of fried soybean powder inside. It was very delicious. She ate it with a look of satisfaction and finished it in just a few bites.

She picked up another piece and handed it to Chen Manli: "Sister Manli, try it quickly. This crispy candy is coated with soybean powder inside. It tastes delicious."

Chen Manli didn't like such sweet candies, but she couldn't refuse, so she had to take it and take a bite.

"My Lady, you are right. It is indeed delicious. I want to buy some for you to try." She said this with an expression of liking the candy very much and finished it in a few bites.

Princess Ronghua felt that Sister Manli was really her close friend. Whenever she bought these cakes home, her mother would always say they were too sweet and she didn't like them, and her father would never even try them.

Sister Manli has the same taste as her, she is really her good sister.

So she generously took out a bag of yellow grease-wrapped crispy candies from the small drawer under the coffee table and handed it to Chen Manli, saying, "Don't be polite, just take what's given to you."

The words that Chen Manli wanted to refuse were stuck in her throat, unable to come out or in, so she could only accept it obediently.
