The foolish prince counterattacks the concubine

Chapter 20

The other courtyard is deeply summery, and the fragrance of flowers penetrates the curtain edge.

Xi Rao woke up in the morning filled with the fragrance of flowers, it was another new day, she smiled slightly, raised the curtain, her feet had just landed on the ground.Vanilla walked in with the wash water.

Xiang Cao put the wooden basin away before walking in, picked up the clothes she prepared last night and put them on Xi Rao.Standing in front of her, flicking those cumbersome belts neatly.

It is indeed more comfortable to have a maid. Xilao enjoys it very much. The main reason is that the ancient clothes are too complicated. Now someone tidies up for her, which saves her trouble.

Vanilla tied the moon-white soft smoke belt around her right abdomen to form a bow, and said while doing the work in hand: "Miss, the second and third misses in the mansion just went out. Go to the street to choose a return gift for the imperial concubine. Miss, do you want to give a return gift too?"

Mu Xirao pursed the corners of her lips lightly, and looked down at Xiangcao. Although she was a little younger, she still had a clever mind. It seemed that it was right to keep her.

"Well, then I will go to the street to choose a gift for my mother later. You don't have to follow me, let you go home and see your family for half a day off."

"Ah, really! Thank you miss, thank you miss." Vanilla smiled, showing a row of neat teeth, and bowed to Mu Xirao gratefully.

Mu Xirao smiled gently, warm like golden sunlight.Vanilla looked a little dazed, if her young lady didn't have that birthmark on her face, she must be right.

"Xirao, are you in the house? Xirao..." A faint voice pierced through the yard, when Mu Xirao heard it, it was actually Mu Chuchu, and hurried out of the room to greet her.

"Sister, why are you here? Aren't you afraid that the aunt will find out?" Xi Rao looked around, really afraid that the willow branch would suddenly jump out, pointing at herself with her hands on her hips and cursing.

Mu Chuchu smiled sweetly, leaned closer and whispered back: "My mother went out of the house with my second aunt, it should be nothing if I come to you. I think the weather is good today, so I want to go shopping with you. You're getting married soon, and my sister wants to buy you some dowry."

"Sister, you don't need it, it's too wasteful. Are you afraid you won't be able to marry into the palace?" Mu Xirao refused with a smile, and then told Xiangcao to go home to visit relatives first.

Only then did Mu Xirao and Mu Chuchu leave the house and went to the street.One person ate a hot spicy wonton at a street stall, and then wandered around.

"Elder sister, what do you think I should buy as a gift for the imperial concubine or empress? The imperial palace is full of rare treasures, and I am a poor man, so how can I give you any precious things?" The two walked in the crowd arm in arm. She is graceful and elegant, especially Mu Chuchu, although she is twenty-two, but her fat is like jade, her beautiful eyes flow, she is just like a goddess descending from a fairy to the mortal world.

Although Mu Xirao has exquisite facial features and smooth and delicate skin, after all, there is a birthmark on her face, which affects the overall beauty.But the elegant temperament on his body still can't help making people stop a little more.

"This one, let's choose something real. After all, it's strange to see jewels, and ordinary people's things may be in her eyes." Mu Chuchu thought for a moment, and walked into a jewelry store with her on her arm.

"This one is not bad, it suits you better." Mu Chuchu put a tasseled gold step rocker on Xirao's head, and the moon-yellow Rieger Begonia flowers spread out, revealing a sense of agility.A few hanging flowers made of rhinestones hang down behind the petals. When the body moves, it sways slightly, making a small collision sound, which is crisp and pleasant.

Xi Rao stretched out her hand, and lightly touched the golden step on her head, showing a beautiful arc: "If it looks good, then I'll buy it. I think this one is pretty good, you can try it on."

As Xi Rao spoke, she inserted a hairpin made of pearls into the bun, and nodded in satisfaction.He took out the broken silver from his sleeve and gave it to the boss.The two talked and laughed intimately all the way, and walked into an antique shop.

"Boss, can you make a price for this ancient painting?" Mu Yuwei's voice came from inside the room.

Mu Xirao was taken aback, she didn't expect to meet Mu Yuwei again.This is really a natural fate, it's not that enemies don't meet each other!

Mu Chuchu just glanced at it lightly, pretending not to recognize it, and chose a gift with Xirao on her own.

Mu Yuwei held a pair of landscape paintings in her hands. From the chemical dye ink, it could be seen that it was made by a famous artist, so it could be seen that it should be a masterpiece of a famous painter.

Mu Yuwei was still following Mu Ruyi, and Mo Hanling was also by her side.The few people were peaceful and peaceful.

Xi Rao curled her lips into a sneer, could it be that Mu Yuwei dared to take Mu Ruyi to go out shopping with Mo Hanling after the incident yesterday at the Taifu's mansion, it seemed that she was determined enough not to be robbed of the limelight by Mu Ruyi .

Xi Rao didn't go up to say hello either, and followed Chu Chu to choose items.

"This is the treasure of my store. Seeing that the lady really likes this painting, I will sell it to the lady at a lower price. 500 taels of silver. If you like it, you can take it."

"500 taels?" Mu Yuwei and Mu Ruyi couldn't help exclaiming, and stared at the boss with wide eyes.

Mu Yuwei couldn't help but gasped, 500 taels was equivalent to her pocket money for two years.Isn't it just a painting? As for asking such a sky-high price?
"Boss, let's go for less. I really want to buy it. Can it be less, 300 taels, 300 taels?" Mu Yuwei gritted her teeth, 300 taels is her maximum limit.The imperial concubine likes to collect calligraphy and paintings the most, in order to please her future mother-in-law.Mu Yuwei can only go shopping.

When the boss heard it, his face turned dark immediately, and his tone became unfriendly: "You actually want to take 500 taels of calligraphy and painting for 300 taels, why don't you just snatch them back. 450 taels, just one price!"

Mu Yuwei froze on the spot in embarrassment, and turned her head to look at Mo Hanling pitifully.

Mo Hanling touched the famous painting with his hand, looked at it carefully before saying: "Boss, this painting is 400 taels, and this king bought it. It's just that I don't have that much money with me, so let her take this painting away." .Tomorrow you will send someone to my Prince Ling's Mansion to fetch the silver."

When the boss heard that these people came to lie to him about the famous painting, he said viciously, and interrupted Mo Hanling's words mercilessly: "Take it away as you say, you get both money and goods. The money is delivered with one hand. I am a businessman, but I can't afford such a large loss-making business. If you really buy it, you can take the money. Don't use the banner of the prince to cheat things!"

"How do you talk, old man? Open your dog eyes and see, this is the prince of the imperial concubine, the dignified second prince. You are not afraid of treason when you say this!" Seeing Mo Hanling being bullied, Mu Yuwei froze. He slapped his hand on the table and shouted arrogantly.

Mu Chuchu frowned slightly, this younger sister was really used to being arrogant and domineering, she kept shaking her head lightly, but she didn't want to meddle in her affairs.
