The abandoned concubine who transmigrated woke up shouting "Long live the widow!"

Startled by Runyue's words, Lixia immediately put down her chopsticks and knelt on the ground. "Miss, I'm sorry! Please don't be angry. She's young and can't speak properly. I'll take her away in a bit!"

"Alright, I didn't mind. I understand what she meant; it was just that she used the wrong words. We can teach her slowly!" Jingxue put down the bowl in her hand, stood up, and helped Lixia up.

"Thank you, Miss! Runyue, quickly apologize to Miss!" Lixia pulled the somewhat bewildered Runyue.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, Your Highness! I misspoke again."

Jingxue sat back down. "Alright, let's eat! I have something nice to give you later!"

Li Xia, being somewhat knowledgeable, saw what Jing Xue had taken out and her eyes lit up. She exclaimed, "Miss, this is a good thing!"

"I've decided to sell these in our shop, what do you think?"

"Really? That's wonderful! The shop next door belongs to the Duke of Anguo's family, which is the Empress Dowager's maternal family. Their heir, Prince Qin, travels all over the country, so his shop always has novel and interesting goods!"

"Miss, this shop doesn't have these items, that's great! They say scarcity increases value, they're sure to sell very well! Is that all?"

"Of course, there will be more than just this. There will be new products in the future, but the three of you must keep your mouths shut about the source of the goods. No matter who asks, say you don't know or have no comment! Got it?"

The three of them nodded in unison.

Meanwhile, Ye Muchen returned to Lingyun Pavilion and immediately sent someone to summon his two generals and a strategist to the palace for a meeting.

That evening, after his three subordinates left, Ye Muchen was not sleepy. He stretched his body and strolled out of the courtyard.

The group discussed it for an afternoon, but he wasn't satisfied with any of the proposed solutions!

It's getting cold soon, so even if the plan is feasible, it won't be implemented until next spring!

If only my cousin Qin Jing were back, he might be able to help me out of my current predicament.

Since returning to the capital, although he disliked the intrigue and backstabbing in the court, he had been working hard to learn and adapt in order to help his emperor brother!

Just like how he didn't want to get married at all, but he couldn't disobey his father's decree.

Seeing that her brother, the emperor, was taking in one woman after another whom he did not like in order to balance the power of various factions in the court.

As a member of the royal family, I also bear an inescapable responsibility!

The next day, when Jingxue opened her eyes, she saw Runyue standing in front of her bed with a washbasin in her hand, and a little myna bird was standing on her head!

"My God, my Grandma, so early in the morning!" Jingxue's voice was sticky as she lay on the pillow.

"Your Highness, I'm here to serve you, and I won't charge you!"

"It's free! It's free!"

Jingxue "..."

You don't want money, you want my life!

After washing up, Jingxue wanted to try out the cosmetics she had taken out yesterday. She couldn't recommend them to customers without trying them herself.

As I was applying foundation, Runyue next to me said, "Your Highness, it turns out that beautiful people are made up!"

Jingxue: Can I say that I am not?

"Miss, your lips are so beautiful, unlike Widow Li from our village, whose lips are as red as if she ate a dead child!"

Jingxue: Is your village called "Widow Village"?

On second thought, with years of war, it's normal to have many widows. Sigh!

After having breakfast, Xiaoman went to the steward and asked for a carriage.

At the entrance of the Prince's mansion, the steward saw the four people carrying packages approaching and bowed to Jingxue, "Your Highness, would you like to take a few attendants with you when you leave the mansion?"

"No need for attendants, one coachman will suffice!" Jingxue said, then leaped onto the carriage.

The following leap month, after putting the package in her hand on the carriage, climbed onto the carriage without any regard for appearances, using both hands and feet.

Butler: This new girl is really not like a girl!

To be honest, this was Jingxue's first time going out since she transmigrated. Last time she went to the palace with Ye Muchen, she didn't see anything. This time, she took the initiative to lift the carriage curtain and look outside.

"Your Highness, why do you look so naive?" The silly boy is back online.

Li Xia has basically given up on treatment and doesn't want to talk about her younger sister anymore!

The further you walk, the more pedestrians and shops appear on the street. There are teahouses, taverns, pawnshops, workshops...

The local customs in Beiye are relatively open; as long as men and women other than spouses are not alone in a room, no one will say anything!

"Stop the car!" Jingxue said.

"What's wrong, Miss?" Li Xia asked, puzzled.

"I'd like to get off and walk around a bit more, it's inconvenient to stay in the car. But your things are a bit heavy, aren't they? Why don't you ride in the car?"

Li Xia: Miss, you're making us feel so bad! How can the master walk while the servants ride in a carriage!

"It's alright, Miss, I'm strong!" Runyue finally realized how her cousin addressed her mistress. She picked up the two larger packages, one in each hand, and jumped off the carriage.

Jingxue instructed the coachman to return.

Li Xia pointed ahead and said, "Miss, we'll be at our general store in about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. We have three stores on West Street."

Looking at the street scene ahead, Jingxue sighed, "This is what life is all about!"

Today she wore a light blue silk dress and light makeup. Her skin was, needless to say, as delicate and smooth as porcelain. Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her long eyelashes fluttered wildly, and her cherry lips were pink and moist.

The three girls got used to it and didn't think much of it, but it still attracted a lot of attention from passersby!

"Lixia, how do you plan to sell these things?" Jingxue asked.

"Miss, most shops that have received new stock put up a sign at the door and send a clerk to call out to them!"

Jingxue nodded. In this era without internet media, this was the most direct and effective method.

"How about we go with the price I set this morning?" Jingxue turned to look at Lixia.

Li Xia looked at the price list and, to be honest, it was a bit high. But considering that the goods the young lady had brought out were indeed of good quality, she said, "Miss, let's try selling them! If it really doesn't work, we can lower the price a bit. After all, our mirror can see even the fine hairs on your face clearly, and I used the toothbrush this morning. It's much better than those made of pig bristles!"

Jingxue ordered a dressing mirror for 500 coins, a toothbrush for 60 coins, and a bar of soap for 100 coins. She paid 20 times the price she paid in her spatial dimension.

When they arrived at the general store, the shopkeeper's surname was He, and there were two young apprentices, about 15 or 6 years old. Li Xia told them that there was also a cook in the backyard, who was Shopkeeper He's wife.

In the original owner's dowry shop, including the servants on the estate, all had life contracts, which was also a clever move by the original owner's mother.

She knows her own daughter very well; she's practically oblivious to everything else!

Servants with death contracts are easier to manage. Those with living contracts can be redeemed, but those with death contracts cannot. Once they escape, they become runaway slaves and are immediately executed if caught!

Jingxue didn't want to interfere too much; Lixia was capable, and she didn't want to restrict her!
