Chapter 13 Attending the Banquet at the Princess’s Mansion Mingyi asked Fanshuang to take the gold bricks to the bank, exchange them for silver notes, and then hand them over to the grain shop owner who had been given to her by King Jiyang, and asked him to follow her earlier instructions.
After having a matter on her mind, Mingyi's mood was just like the weather today, with clear , Shopkeeper Xu of the grain shop turned around and looked for Prince Jiyang. After presenting the two huge banknotes, he said worriedly, "Your Majesty, the princess has given us instructions to collect grain from all over the south of the Yangtze River. Harvest as much as you can. I have already advised the princess. Harvesting too much grain will cost a lot of money, and transportation will cost a lot of money. Storage is also a big trouble. If it cannot be sold, it will become old grain. If it breaks down, I will lose all my money. But the princess insisted on going her own way. I thought that since the prince has told me, I have to take responsibility, so I had to evade it and said that the money on the cabinet was not enough. Who knows, in just a few days, the princess would After giving me so much money, she also said that she had chosen a location for the warehouse and was looking for someone to repair it. When the grain we bought is shipped back to Wangjing, the warehouse will be ready... Your Majesty, what do you think we should do? I really have no choice!"
Shopkeeper Xu spread his hands, his face full of sorrow.
Unexpectedly, King Jiyang glanced at the two banknotes and said "Wow" in surprise, "So much money? My good daughter can actually save private money better than me. It's amazing!"
Shopkeeper Xu: "..." My prince, since you didn't give me this money, isn't the point where the princess got such a large sum of money?Aren't you afraid that your daughter will go astray? King Jiyang was really not afraid. Instead, he continued to praise, and the more he praised, the more proud he became, "I invested such a large amount of money as soon as I said I would invest. I am decisive in killing and courageous. Why worry about not being able to achieve great things? She is indeed my Fu Yusheng's daughter!"
Shopkeeper Xu's forehead twitched twice, and finally he couldn't help but said with trembling lips, "Your Majesty, this matter..."
King Jiyang raised his hand to interrupt him, "When I brought you to the princess that day, I already said that since the grain store has been given to the princess, she will be your boss from now on. The matter of the grain store She has the final say and I won't interfere anymore."
"But, Your Majesty, if this is a loss..." It's not a matter of one or two dollars, it's such a big sum of money. No matter how much you spoil your daughter, you can't do this...
"It's a loss! It's her money, and she doesn't feel sorry for her. Why should I feel sorry for her?" Shopkeeper Xu wanted to say something more, but King Jiyang interrupted her impatiently, "Okay, let's just let it go." She practices her skills. If she really loses, won't she still have me as her father? Don't think that my good girl has no one to rely on, there is someone behind her!"
Shopkeeper Xu failed to dissuade him, and was so choked by King Jiyang that he felt stuffy and left the palace with a slumped face.
Mingyi didn't know this at all. She was busy preparing with Fanshuang and Weiyu to attend Princess Rongyang's birthday banquet tomorrow.
Yes, Mingyi received the invitation from the eldest princess's mansion as she wished a few days ago, and her birthday gift has been framed and prepared, but at this moment, she still feels a little nervous.
Speaking of which, she hasn't seen her mother for quite some time. I wonder if she is okay?
"Princess?" Fan Shuang raised her voice slightly. Seeing that Mingyi had come to her senses, she smiled and handed over the dress in her hand, "Princess, what do you think of this outfit?"
Gao also makes several dresses for Fu Mingyi every season, but Fu Mingyi doesn't like to go out, so most of them are homely His Majesty's imperial edict conferring marriage and canonization was issued, Gao expected that Mingyi would have to go out to socialize. It happened that the palace had rewarded a lot of new clothing materials for the season along with the edict of marriage, so she hurriedly gave Mingyi Yi made several new clothes for going out to dinner parties.
Mingyi looked at Fan Shuang's outfit and nodded, "Not bad!" In the dream, when she was still Li Fengjiao, she was particularly interested in these outfits. She always wanted to win the house at every banquet, but now she is not interested at all. nor. "It's the best if you don't be disrespectful and don't look at others!"
"Then why don't you do a bun with the clouds? That should be the best match..." Mingyi happened to be sitting in front of the dressing table. Weiyu said while playing with Mingyi's hair, not wanting to meet Mingyi's eyes in the mirror. , she suddenly thought of something, and her expression suddenly changed, "Princess Princess..."
Mingyi somewhat understood that it must have been due to Fu Mingyi's temperament in the past. He was usually timid and had low self-esteem, so he would not go out to banquets easily. Even if he really couldn't avoid going out, he would like to hide himself behind his thick changes in these days were most clearly seen by those who were waiting close by her, so Wei Yu could forget her form for a lifted her thick bangs from her forehead and looked into the mirror. The girl in the mirror also looked back at was the first time she looked at Fu Mingyi and her own face so with the stunning Li Fengjiao, Fu Mingyi's face is naturally not that beautiful, but it is not ugly complexion is fair and delicate, her eyes are as clear as a stream of autumn water, and there is a small cinnabar mole under her right eye, which is so pure and pleasant.
"Okay, let's do it with a bun!"
Wei Yu was startled, remembering that the princess' temperament had changed over the past few days, and felt that it was natural, so she became happy, "Yes!"
Beauty has a bad fate. Sometimes, beauty is not a gift, but a curse. But in this life, she is not Li Fengjiao. She will not let herself fall into an unbearable situation, nor will she let Li Fengjiao make the same mistake girl in the mirror looked back at Mingyi, the light in her eyes forming a rock-like determination.
Early the next morning, Mingyi really dressed up and went to the eldest princess's mansion with Gao.
When Mrs. Gao saw Mingyi dressed up brightly, her previous dejection disappeared. After being stunned, she was very happy, "That's right, a little girl's home should be so bright."
Mingyi pursed her lips and smiled, lowering her head to pretend to be shy. She was given a marriage to Xue Lin. If she is still as cowardly as before and cannot stand up, not only the Prince of Jiyang, but also Xue Lin will be embarrassed.
The eldest princess's mansion is close to the imperial city. Although they are both members of the same clan, the Jiyang palace is not close to the imperial city, so it took a lot of time to get to the eldest princess's mansion.
It was not too late for the mother and daughter to go out, but when they arrived outside the eldest princess's house, there was still a commotion of carriages and horses, and the door was packed with guests.
"It's different after all." Gao sighed as he lifted the curtain of the car and looked at it.
There is no clear explanation of what is different, but Mingyi naturally knows Chongning only had one half-sister, the eldest princess Rongyang, and he had no children at his knees. He only had one adult son, the prince, who was still weak, so he always treated the eldest princess and Li Fengjiao with the Sacred Heart is, haven't the dignitaries of Wangjing City sharpened their heads and gone to the eldest princess's mansion? When she was still Li Fengjiao, Mingyi was not less fawned over, but the feeling of falling from the clouds into the mud was not pleasant. The blood, tears and devastation engraved in her heart made her shudder when she looked at such excitement at the moment.
Maybe seeing something wrong with her expression, Mrs. Gao held her hand tightly, stared at her and shouted, "Jiaojiao!"
Mingyi met her eyes, raised her lips and smiled. On the other end, a person came up to her with a smile, "Princess Jiyang and Princess Yun'an have finally arrived. Her Royal Highness the Princess and our Princess have both said, It’s been a while.”
The voice is familiar. Aunt Jade is the powerful maid beside the eldest princess. She is the personal maid chosen by the Queen Mother for her daughter. She grew up with the eldest princess. They are called masters and servants. They are more affectionate than sisters. Li Fengjiao always calls her Aunt Jade. of.
Unexpectedly, the eldest princess actually sent Aunt Jade to greet Gao and herself, which gave them a lot of face.
