The next day, Zhao Yuanqing went to Zuixiangfeng for inspection and found Cui Hao, Zhao Baozhu, and Cui Hao's sister, Cui Yi.

When Zhao Yuanqing saw Cui Yi, he was filled with hatred. Cui Yi pretended to be as gentle as a chrysanthemum, but in fact he was greedy, vain, and mean.

In his previous life, Cui Yi asked Zhao Yuanqing for many things, but he always mocked and ridiculed Zhao Yuanqing. Later, he helped Liuli become Cui Hao's concubine, torturing Zhao Yuanqing terribly.

In this life, it is Zhao Baozhu who marries into the Cui family. Now it’s time to watch a good show.

Zhao Baozhu's face had not fully healed yet, and she was wearing a veil. The three people stood in front of the frankincense, apparently wanting to buy it.

Zhao Baozhu was in a very bad mood. Ever since the Peony Garden, she and Cui Hao had been tied together, and everyone thought they would get married in the future.

Since then, Zhao Baozhu has had more frequent contact with the Cui family, especially Cui Hao's sister Cui Yi, whom she would go shopping with every now and then.

Being with her future sister-in-law, Zhao Baozhu certainly wasn't stingy. She always paid for everything, but it happened so often that Zhao Baozhu couldn't stand it anymore! This Cui Yi was simply taking advantage of her and acting like she deserved it. If it weren't for Cui Hao's face, she would have turned against him long ago!

The same thing happened today. Cui Hao and Cui Yi asked her to go shopping, and Zhao Baozhu knew that she would have to pay again.

Sure enough, Cui Yi stood in front of Su Hexiang and didn't move, wanting to buy it.

Suhaxiang is very expensive, one tael costs fifty gold coins, and this piece costs at least three or four taels, at least two hundred gold coins. Zhao Baozhu is not willing to spend this money on her.

Cui Yi said, "Princess Rongchang, what do you think of this frankincense?"

"not so good."

Cui Yi was unhappy, "Brother, what do you think?"

Cui Hao knew exactly what his sister meant. She just wanted this spice. Of course their family couldn't afford it. But they had Zhao Baozhu, and they would soon be a family. What was wrong with buying something for his sister?

"I think it's good, Baozhu. It's rare for Yi'er to like something."

Zhao Baozhu rolled her eyes. "Don't say that. Your sister likes so many things. Yesterday she liked the Tongchun hairpin from Yingcui Pavilion, the day before yesterday she liked the Helan inkstone from Zangwen Valley, and the day before that she liked the Fengxian skirt from Deyifang. There's nothing she doesn't like!"

Cui Yi said with tears in her eyes, "Brother, it's all my fault. I made the princess unhappy...嘤嘤嘤..."

Zhao Baozhu was extremely annoyed and growled in a low voice, "I didn't scold you, why are you crying? It's as if I bullied you!"

Cui Hao was also unhappy. Zhao Baozhu was too disrespectful to him. Was she disgusted with her sister spending her money?

But he was always good at pretending. Although he was angry in his heart, he acted as calm as the breeze and bright moon. "Baozhu, Yi'er was indeed wrong. Forget it, let's go back."

Cui Yi said, "Brother, Princess Shanzhen is really generous. If I wanted this frankincense, she would definitely buy it for me without blinking an eye!"

Cui Hao shouted, "Yier, shut up! Baozhu, Yier is confused, ignore her."

Zhao Baozhu's competitive spirit was aroused. How could she not be better than Zhao Yuanqing? It was just a little storax, right? She could afford it too!

"Just a little bit of styrax, buy it."

Cui Hao and Cui Yi's eyes met and separated immediately. No matter whether it was Princess Shanzhen or Princess Rongchang, as long as they fell into the trap of love, they would be manipulated by these brothers and sisters.

Cui Yi smiled happily and took the frankincense, several incense burners and incense balls. After the final calculation, the total amount was 280 gold.

Zhao Baozhu paid the bill, turned around and saw Zhao Yuanqing, and said to her, "Zhao Baozhu, you and Cui Hao are really together? Congratulations!"

Zhao Baozhu said proudly, "Yes, it's a pity that someone is blind and can't recognize gold inlaid with jade. I can only blame myself."

"Haha, Zhao Baozhu, when you cry in the future, don't blame yourself for being blind."

"Why are you here?"

"That's ridiculous. This is my shop, of course I can be here."

Zhao Baozhu said in disbelief, "Is this your shop?"

"Of course, you don't know?"

Zhao Baozhu really didn't know. She had been recuperating in the palace a few days ago. She came out for a walk only after her face felt better these days. She heard that a spice shop had opened here and the business was extremely booming. She didn't expect it to be Zhao Yuanqing's.

Zhao Baozhu was deeply jealous. When had Zhao Yuanqing been able to open such a large spice shop? How could she do that?

"What's so great about it? It's just a spice shop!"

"Of course it's amazing, Zhao Baozhu, why don't you come and buy it too?"

Zhao Baozhu felt humiliated and said to Cui Yi, "Let's not buy it. Let's go!"

Cui Yi screamed, "No!"

Cui Hao held Zhao Baozhu's hand and said, "Baozhu, don't act willfully in front of so many people."

Zhao Baozhu was furious. She had never had a good temper, and she had already reached her limit. She shook off Cui Hao's hand and said, "If you don't leave, I will!"

She left angrily.

Cui Hao shook his head, looking helpless, and said to Zhao Yuanqing, "Princess Shanzhen, you are kind-hearted. It's a pity that we are not destined to be together."

Seeing him acting like a romantic, Zhao Yuanqing felt sick. Did this guy think he still liked him? Did he want to be beaten?

"Cui Hao, are the ten strokes ready?"

Cui Hao shuddered, bowed and left.

Cui Yi didn't follow them. She smiled and said, "Princess, I didn't expect that this spice shop was opened by you. I want..."

"No, you don't want it! I won't give you anything!"

Cui Yi said without giving up, "Princess, I can say a few good words for you in front of my brother. As long as my brother doesn't get married, you have a chance."

"Cui Yi, no matter what you say, I won't give you anything! You have to return everything I gave you!"

Cui Yi panicked, "How can a princess like you take back something you gave away?"

"I'll give it to you if I want it, and I'll take it if you want it! If you don't return it, I'll spread the word everywhere and see how your Cui family can still maintain their dignity!"

"you!"

Cui Yi stormed off, and Zhao Yuanqing chased him to the door, shouting, "Hurry back and pack your things! If you're missing anything, I'll ruin your reputation!"

Zhao Yuanqing looked at their backs from a distance and frowned slightly. What happened to Cui Hao's right foot? Why did it look a little lame?

After returning to the Princess's Mansion, Zhao Yuanqing ordered Wen Xing, "Give me a complete list of the things I gave to the Cui family. I want them all back."

"Yes, princess."

"Someone, go check Cui Hao's leg. Which doctor treated him?"

"Yes."

Someone quickly reported back, "Princess, Cui Hao was treated by the Imperial Physician Zhou Quanming, the chief physician of the Imperial Medical Bureau. Princess Rongchang's face was also treated by Imperial Physician Zhou."

"understood."

Zhao Yuanqing thought about it for a while and quickly figured out the problem. Concubine Hui found the imperial physician Zhou, so Cui Hao's leg was also somewhat damaged by her. Otherwise, according to Zhou Quanming's medical skills, Cui Hao's leg would have been more than that.

What was Concubine Hui thinking about letting her daughter marry a lame man? But thinking about Zhao Baozhu's face, Zhao Yuanqing understood. One with a rotten face and the other with a lame leg, they were a perfect match. Concubine Hui was really cruel. No wonder she won in her previous life.

After a while, Wen Xing came over with a booklet, "Princess, I've compiled the list of things for the Cui family."

Zhao Yuanqing took it and took a look. Wow, there were dozens of pages, with everything they needed to eat, wear, and wear. There were also many rare books of calligraphy and paintings by famous artists, which were all what the Cui family wanted and Zhao Yuanqing had found for them.

"Meng Jiu, bring a few old women who know how to curse and go to the Cui family's gate to ask for something from me. Remember, the harsher the curses, the better!"

"Yes!"
