The Flourishing Era of Female Merchants

Yan Bing blushed slightly, "This is all thanks to Mi'er."

As she spoke, she glanced gratefully at Anmi beside her.

"Yes, thank you so much, Miss Anmi. You've gone to great lengths for our Bing'er." The eldest young mistress is quite adept at playing both sides. In the future, this Miss Anmi will be the Princess Consort of Bohai. Now that the Marquis of Jin's mansion has produced a Princess Consort of Qin and is close to the Princess Consort of Bohai, this is a good thing for both the Marquis of Jin's mansion and her husband who is an official in the court!

“Young Madam, what are you saying? Bing’er embroidered all of these clothes herself. I only played a supporting role.” An Mi said softly, walked up to Yan Bing, and looked her up and down. “Bing’er is so beautiful. If Fifth Brother saw you, he probably wouldn’t be able to wait until tomorrow. He’s eager to marry you.”

An Mi's teasing revealed a tenderness in the face of Yan Bing, who was once the domineering bandit leader of Lingfeng Pass. Yan Bing frowned and stomped her foot playfully, "Mi'er said that you should get married soon, and then I won't hold back when I tease you."

An Mi was slightly taken aback, and for a moment, her face turned completely red. A month later, time seemed to have passed very quickly!

Just then, a maid rushed in from outside the door. The eldest young mistress saw this and frowned. "What's wrong? What's the matter that you're in such a hurry?"

The maidservant hurriedly said, "Young Madam, the Crown Prince's Consort... the Crown Prince's Consort has arrived at the manor. The steward has asked her to wait in the main hall..."

"Binger?"

Before the maid could finish speaking, a woman's voice came from nearby, getting closer and closer, "Is this Bing'er's residence? It's quite elegant; someone who didn't know better might think it was the residence of a young lady from a wealthy family!"

A single sentence already carried hostility. The voice entered the room, and Yan Bing, the eldest young mistress, and even An Mi couldn't help but frown. Wasn't that the voice of the eldest prince's wife?

She probably wouldn't have come here for no reason!

Seeing her imposing manner, everyone knew she had no good intentions. With this thought in mind, everyone became more wary. In a moment, Sima Yan arrived at the door, her luxurious attire exuding an air of dominance. She slightly raised her chin, glanced around the room, and when she saw An Mi, her eyes showed a strange glint. "Heh! What a coincidence, Mi'er is here too!"

When An Mi's name was called, she looked up and met her superior Ma Yan's sharp eyes, a smile naturally appearing on her lips. "Yes, the Crown Princess Consort is here too, what a coincidence!"

Although Anmi's tone was gentle, she was not intimidated by Sima Yan's domineering aura. Instead, her calm and composed demeanor gave her an air of unwavering charm.

Sima Yan frowned, wanting to slap away that faint smile, but then she thought of something and changed her mind. She turned her gaze to Yan Bing, who looked even more radiantly beautiful than usual in her bright red wedding dress. Even when she was looking at her warily, her face was still captivating.

Yan Bing is going to marry the King of Qin, who is the man she loves!

Even a blind man could see that the King of Qin was exceptionally devoted to Yan Bing. He had been busy preparing for the wedding and had put in a lot of effort. But what about her wedding? Thinking of the triumphant smile on the King of Qin's face that she had seen a few days ago, Sima Yan felt as if a huge stone was blocking her heart. The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt.

If only Qinglan had treated her with the same care back then! If only he had put in even a little effort, she would have been the happiest and most fulfilled bride in the world. But…

In his heart, there was only peace!

Sima Yan's hands suddenly clenched into fists, as if she wanted to crush something. Her fierce expression sent a chill down the spines of onlookers, who thought the Crown Princess was about to explode in anger. However, she gradually calmed down.

The young mistress gradually breathed a sigh of relief, only to see Sima Yan approaching Yan Bing step by step.

Yan Bing was also on high alert. She didn't care whether she was the Crown Prince's Consort or not. If she dared to have any wicked thoughts, Yan Bing would definitely not let her get away with it!

Sima Yan also noticed Yan Bing's intense coldness, looked her up and down, and slowly said, "Bing'er looks stunning in this outfit. The King of Qin is very lucky."

Unexpectedly, Sima Yan's words were a compliment, which surprised Yan Bing. For a moment, she didn't know how to respond. Sima Yan chuckled and gave the maid behind her a wink, "Bring the things up!"

Everyone's gaze followed Sima Yan as she presented something covered by a large red silk cloth, secretly wondering what it was and what tricks Sima Yan was up to!

Even the eldest young mistress knew that this Crown Prince's wife had no good intentions and almost married her off to that vice minister's foolish son!

Under everyone's gaze, Sima Yan reached out and tore open the red silk. In the next instant, a phoenix crown was revealed to everyone. Its exquisite design made people's eyes light up in amazement. Even An Mi couldn't help but admire it when she saw the phoenix crown.

This is truly a wonderful item. However, she was more concerned about Sima Yan's intentions in bringing this phoenix crown here.

An Mi glanced at Sima Yan, and after her initial surprise, the eldest young mistress softly said, "The Crown Princess is..."

Sima Yan glanced at everyone, then at the phoenix crown, and chuckled, "This phoenix crown is a gift for Bing'er's wedding."

"Was it a gift from Sima Yan?" Yan Bing instinctively refused, "The Crown Princess is too kind. My Marquis Jin's mansion has no shortage of phoenix crowns!"

Even if she hadn't prepared her phoenix coronet and wedding gown, she still wouldn't accept the gift from Sima Yan, even if she didn't use the phoenix coronet!

The weasel was offering New Year's greetings to the chicken, but it had no good intentions!

Yan Bing's tone was clearly unpleasant. In the past, Sima Yan would have been furious, but today she still had a smile on her face. "Bing'er, why are you so angry? You are very lucky. Even I envy you."

Yan Bing frowned, and the eldest young mistress asked kindly, "Your Highness, what do you mean by that?"

Sima Yan raised her chin and looked at Yan Bing, whose face was gloomy. "Bing'er, I know you're still holding a grudge about some things, but those are all things of the past, aren't they? Besides, back then, wasn't I thinking about your happiness too?"

"Ha! I should thank the Crown Princess for her kindness." Yan Bing sneered. For her happiness? For her happiness, so, she's trying to marry her off to a fool?

That's incredibly kind of you!

Sima Yan frowned slightly, still not reacting to Yan Bing's cold words. Instead, she chuckled and said, "After tomorrow, you will be the Princess Consort of Qin, and we will be sisters-in-law. We are both royal daughters-in-law, so why should we say such formal and distant things between us?"
