"There is also this set of pomegranate flower gold inlaid jade head and face, and this pair of wings and flying steps are also very beautiful. Which one do you think is better?"
Wu Qilan happily selected her favorite accessories. These items will be part of her dowry in the future, so she must choose them carefully.
Su Ruowei's face turned pale slightly. If you look carefully, you can see the corners of Su Ruowei's eyes were red, obviously she had cried.
"Miss, are you okay?"
Dongyu supported his young lady and shouted in a worried voice.
Today, when the young lady heard the news that the third prince had been granted a marriage by His Majesty, she smashed three sets of tea sets, hid in her room and cried non-stop, and ordered them not to tell the madam.
Dong Yu was so anxious that she calmed down after Qiu Yue came out and said something to the young lady.
It happened that Miss Wu's family came to the door at this time, saying that she wanted to go out with her to buy some jewelry.
The young lady and Miss Wu Qilan usually have a very good relationship, but today when she learned that Miss Wu came to visit, her smile became very strange.
When he took a closer look, the young lady returned to normal and went out with Miss Wu.
"Miss, if you feel unwell, let's go back."
Although Dong Yu is Su Ruowei's confidant, there are some things that Su Ruowei didn't tell Dong Yu, so Dong Yu doesn't know. Su Ruowei is not feeling unwell, but angry and jealous.
"I'm fine."
Su Ruowei looked at Wu Qilan, whose face was full of happiness and sweetness, and she wanted to tear her in half.
The position of Princess Wu Qilan should have been hers! !
The third prince had already told her through Qiuyue that he and Wu Qilan would do such a thing in the princess mansion because they were drugged and he accidentally fell into the trap.
The other party's methods were so clever that even the imperial physician in the palace didn't find any problems.
For the sake of royal dignity, the Queen Mother pushed the matter to two lazy servants of the Princess Mansion, who were beaten to death.
Although the Queen Mother did not find out who did it, fortunately, the Queen Mother did not delve into why he appeared in the princess mansion so coincidentally, and their plot to plot against Su Qianxi was hidden for the time being.
Regarding the love potion, Shen Jinchuan guessed that it was Wu Qilan who did it.
After all, the timing of Wu Qilan's appearance was too coincidental, and Wu Qilan liked him and had expressed her feelings to him, but he rejected her.
Now that the matter has come to the attention of the Queen Mother, and because the love potion has not been found, the marriage was granted for the sake of royal dignity.
When Su Ruowei thought that Wu Qilan had used despicable means to take away what should have been hers, her heart was filled with hatred.
Now that Wu Qilan was still showing off in front of her, Su Ruowei almost couldn't keep the expression on her face.
"Ruowei, why don't you give me any advice?"
Wu Qilan talked to herself for a long time, but did not wait for Su Ruowei's answer, and frowned strangely.
Didn't you agree to accompany her to choose jewelry?
Su Ruowei didn't say a word.
If she didn't make some suggestions, how could she let herself choose?
Then why should I ask Su Ruowei to come with me?
Su Ruowei smiled reluctantly, "I just think they are all pretty good. I don't know which one to choose for you."
"Yeah, I think they're pretty good too."
After receiving Su Ruowei's affirmation, Wu Qilan instantly smiled, picked up the bronze mirror handed over by the shopkeeper, and put the hairpin on her head to see the effect.
"Wu Qilan is quite good at killing people and killing people."
Su Qianxi was selecting jewelry five steps away. She couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth when she figured out why Wu Qilan and Su Ruowei were here.
Wu Qilan didn't know that Su Ruowei also loved Shen Jinchuan, and at the moment she just wanted to share her joy with her friends.
Little did she know that the more she showed off, the stronger Su Ruowei wanted to tear her apart.
This plastic sisterhood is really interesting.
"Hey, who do I think you are? Isn't this Wu Qilan who was caught in public at the princess banquet?"
At this moment, a woman with her hair full of pearls and dazzling clothes walked in and mocked Wu Qilan as soon as she opened her mouth.
"Why do you have the nerve to go out? If I were you, I would hang myself with a piece of white silk to avoid damaging the family's reputation."
"Who is this?"
Su Qianxi looked at the person in front of her who was so angry that Wu Qilan turned pale after just a few words, and curiously asked Qingzhu who the other party was.
I have never seen this person in my previous life, so I don’t recognize him.
"This is Miss Sheng's family. His father is the royal merchant designated by His Majesty."
Qingzhu took a look and whispered in Su Qianxi's ear.
"The law stipulates that in order to prevent someone from staying in this position for a long time and developing thoughts that they shouldn't have, the royal merchants are usually replaced every five years. Even if they do well, they can be re-elected once at most, which is ten years. "
"But Miss Sheng's father is a business genius. Your Majesty has repeatedly praised Mr. Sheng's business skills. This year has been the 27th year that the Sheng family has served as an imperial merchant."
From this point of view, it is not difficult to see how much money Master Sheng can make to make His Majesty make exceptions again and again.
"The relationship between the Wu family and the Sheng family is not good. This can be traced back to the tenth year when the Sheng family became an imperial merchant."
"Originally, according to regulations, the Master of the Sheng family had to step down as an imperial merchant. Wu Qilan's father was eyeing this position and wanted to arrange for his own person to take the position, so he made a lot of preparations."
"Who would have thought that after the Master of the Sheng family came to the palace and had a conversation with His Majesty, His Majesty made an exception and allowed the Sheng family to continue to serve as imperial merchants. The Wu family's wishful thinking was gone, so naturally they would bear the grudge against the Sheng family."
"Because the two parents have a bad relationship, Miss Wu and Miss Sheng have been fighting fiercely since they were sensible."
"The position of Huangshang is big or small. Your Majesty makes an exception. Do the courtiers have no objection?"
Su Qianxi asked curiously.
"There is no way. Two-thirds of the royal treasury is collected from taxes, and one-third is earned by the Sheng family."
"It's not that the courtiers don't have opinions, but they don't dare to have opinions."
"His Majesty said that he can ask Master Sheng to step down from his position as an imperial merchant at any time. As long as the ministers can find someone who can make money as well as Master Sheng, he will replace him immediately."
But if officials can find such a person, why should they keep using rules?
"I see."
Su Qianxi raised her lips and smiled, looking at the Miss Sheng family standing at the door with interest on her face.
Why didn't she meet such an interesting person in her previous life?
"Sheng Ruyue, shut up!!"
Wu Qilan shouted to Sheng Ruyue.
Because of Sheng Ruyue's words, the guests in the room all pointed at her. When had she ever been wronged like this?
"Why, you are so angry that you have the ability to refute me."
Sheng Ruyue looked at Wu Qilan jumping up and down in anger, raised the corner of her mouth, and said contemptuously, "I forgot, you can't refute me, after all, many people saw this with their own eyes."
