Chapter 115 Was it he who gave the Crown Princess the conch pearl?
Suddenly hearing a familiar surname, Mu Lianzhi glanced to her side unconsciously. At this moment, the woman was shaking a pearl hairpin in one hand, with a bag of snacks in her arms, and her body was twisted sideways, half facing away from her.
But the woman was wearing a neat red dress, her hair style was obviously different from that of the Chiyan Country, and her decorations were also very ethnic ropes and heavy silver tassels. Mu Lianzhi knew who she was instantly.
Princess Zhan Xinyue of Silla.
Looking back again, he saw Beitang Yi and Yingfeng standing at the door of the store. Yingfeng was holding a few red boxes in his hands, obviously he had just made some purchases. The two of them were whispering to each other about something. Beitang Yi had a cold face and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry.
He is back?
Their eyes met, and Mu Lianzhi's eyes brightened for a moment, but when he caught a glimpse of the red shadow beside him, his eyes unconsciously dimmed a little.
Was he accompanying the princess out shopping?
I guess you’ve been busy with this these days and haven’t had any free time?
Suddenly, Mu Lianzhi thought of what Ling Yuchi had said before, that the Princess of Silla seemed to be interested in him. Seeing how familiar the two of them were, she felt a pang in her heart.
At this moment, Zhan Xinyue looked away and saw her:
"Hey, aren't you the dancing lady that day? You are here too! What a coincidence! I heard you are a widow?"
Mu Lianzhi was stunned by the woman's bright smile. Before she could react, a familiar male voice sounded unhappily:
"Princess, please watch your words."
"Oh~"
Princess Xinyue looked back and forth at the two of them. Although she didn't know what she said was inappropriate, she probably realized that her words might have offended someone. She blinked her big eyes and lowered her head a little:
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean any harm!"
"My brother, we like you very much. You are very beautiful and you dance very well. If you have a chance, please teach me. We can learn from each other."
"Sister, you won't blame me, will you?"
Her mouth was like a machine gun, and without waiting for Mu Lianzhi to answer, she pointed at the jade bracelet in her hand and said to herself:
"Do you like this? Then I'll buy it for you as an apology!"
"Sister, you can't blame me~"
"Boss, how much is it?"
Then, without waiting for the boss to answer, she turned around and rushed towards Beitang Yi:
"I want to compensate her, you pay."
"Your emperor asked you to take care of me, so you can't complain about the price this time."
"I just bought more and you pushed and blocked everything. You are so small..."
Before the word "stingy" came out of his mouth, Beitang Yi's eyes moved back. Yingfeng didn't even ask, he took out the banknotes and put them on the table. Then, Princess Xinyue was stunned, her eyes almost rolled out of her head:
"Is it very cheap? Why are you so generous this time?"
Then, she pointed at the banknotes on the table, with a look of disbelief and confusion on her face:
"Isn't this a silver note?"
It should be more expensive!
Why were you so quick to pay this time?
"Princess, you've just returned and you've already bought a carriage full of junk. It's almost full."
"You are going to compensate someone else for the things you bought, and they are worth more than the money. I am responsible for your safety, and of course I have to take your face into consideration.
"Also, this jade bracelet is full of green, which is very beautiful. I also like it very much."
Looking at Mu Lianzhi, Beitang Yi's eyes softened unconsciously, and he even pointed out the word "green" deliberately. He did not dare to linger for too long, and soon, he set his sights on another jade bracelet:
"There is another one. If the princess likes it, she can buy it herself."
"Is that right?"
Zhan Xinyue scratched her head dizzily, feeling that something was not right. She opened the box and looked at the jade bracelet inside, but she just shook her head:
"I don't like fragile things."
Then, she shook the pearl hairpin in her hand again:
"Boss, what is this? How much is it?"
Pointing at the pink conch pearl in the center of the pearl hairpin, Zhan Xinyue looked curious and interested:
“Is there any more of this?”
When he saw Beitang Yi and heard that it was the princess, the boss almost bowed his head to the ground, bowed, and replied respectfully:
"The princess has a keen eye. This is a conch pearl, and it is a rare pink color. It is smooth, round, and has bright flame patterns. These are usually used by the royal family and are rarely seen among the common people. One is extremely rare."
"I haven't seen the shop many times in these years."
"This hairpin is made of pearls and jasper, with small pear blossoms that are lifelike and elegant in color. The conch pearls are the finishing touch, and the other elements do not overshadow the main theme. It is very noble and far superior to other combinations of agate and tourmaline."
"Princess, if you like it, you can take it away. It's not expensive, only five hundred taels."
The boss looked sincere, and Princess Silla gestured but curled her lips:
"is it?"
"You're not trying to fool me because I don't know how to do it! I saw the Crown Princess wearing a string of pink beads on her hand, they don't seem to be that rare!"
"You're selling it to me for five hundred taels for just one?"
"You're so stingy. This bag of delicious snacks of mine is only fifty cents. You can buy a candy store with just one of them, right?"
"Don't take advantage of me because I'm a stranger and don't know anything. I'm bringing people from your Chiyan Nation with me~"
"Still an official!"
With her chin raised, she stretched out her hand and pointed in the direction of Beitang Yi behind her, shaking the pearl hairpin, and it was unclear whether she liked it or not.
Hearing this, the shopkeeper almost peed himself:
"Princess, even if you give me ten heads, I would not dare to deceive you and Master Beitang. This, this is already the cost price. This hairpin is made of gold."
Comparing the gold hairpin with conch pearls with the honey twisted dough sticks sold all over the street, they are just not on the same level!
Where can I go to seek justice for this?
The shopkeeper is more wronged than Dou E.
"Humph!"
After shaking it again, the Princess of Silla neither said yes nor no, but just poked the conch pearl at the center of the flower and muttered:
"Is it so precious? Your princess seems to like it very much and is really rich. She wears such a big string casually, and they are all this color, brighter than this. She must have a lot of them, right?"
"Here... our shop is naturally not comparable to the Prime Minister's Mansion, let alone the Crown Prince's Mansion. The Crown Princess's favorite things are naturally excellent, and the value is also known to Master Beitang. Our shop is absolutely fair to everyone."
After swallowing his saliva with an embarrassed look on his face, the shop owner looked at Beitang Yi after replying.
The relationship between Beitang Yi and the Crown Princess was almost known to everyone, not to mention that he had also collected a lot of conch pearls from him. No, to be more precise, he asked him to help collect them, and he picked out a lot of them.
But the shop owner didn't dare to say it. At this moment, he was afraid that he would lose his head if he said something wrong.
His sneaky little move almost pissed Beitang Yi off to death. It was already annoying enough that the princess kept mentioning the conch pearl and the Crown Princess, and now he got in on the action.
It was hard for Mu Lianzhi not to notice, and her inquiring eyes glanced over intentionally or unintentionally:
Why are these two flirting with each other!
Could it be that the conch pearl in the Crown Princess's hand was actually given by him?
