Jinyuyuan.
Cheng Jingyu stood in the yard and looked up at the plaque in her yard.
Rumor has it that this was given by Xiao Shenggao himself and was written by his own hand.
Chunhua approached from behind and looked at the plaque with her princess's eyes for a while. Her neck was sore but she couldn't see the flower.
"Princess, what are you looking at?"
Cheng Jingyu pinched her neck and sighed regretfully: "Gold and jade? It would be great to have gold and jade, but this princess is short of money."
She has been thinking about money like crazy recently.
Chunhua looked at the numerous antiques placed on the table in the room, including porcelain, beads, jade and hand-carved items.
After following Cheng Jingyu around the antique street for two or three days, this is what I gained.
After buying these back, the princess owed a large sum of money to an outside bank.
She was scared to death at the beginning but now she is numb: "Didn't you say that those things can be turned into money? How? Prince Zhou will arrive in Kyoto tomorrow."
Today the emperor issued a decree asking the princess to dress up and enter the palace to accompany her tomorrow.
"These can't even earn 110,000 taels. Chunhua, does my father have a jadeite and gold-plated Ruyi in his house?" Cheng Jingyu looked for allies.
Chunhua covered her mouth and looked around in panic: "Princess, you don't want to--you can't. The Marquis will arrive in Kyoto soon. If he finds out that his treasure is gone, you will be beaten to death!"
It is true that the Marquis said he loved the princess, but the princess had done something wrong, and he would not be merciful in a fight.
Unless the princess is crazy, how dare she plan to go after the Marquis!
"Why don't I just pay back the money to my dad? He won't come back a few times a year, so it's a waste."
After making up her mind, Cheng Jingyu went to 'borrow' the green Ruyi that day and placed an IOU on the spot.
The housekeeper followed her, worried to death: "Princess, what do you want with this?"
This green Ruyi is not an ordinary thing. The Dongzhu embedded in it is said to have come from the East China Sea and is priceless.
Cheng Jingyu touched Lu Ruyi's body and said coldly, "Isn't it that the Crown Prince of Zhou is coming over? I don't have any gifts to give, so I borrow flowers to offer to the Buddha. My father will understand me."
All this she did was for Fu Yanci!
In the future he will be the overlord, and this little green Ruyi will mean nothing at all.
The housekeeper dared not speak out in anger, and did not dare to stop the young master.
Cheng Jingyu took Lu Ruyi to the most famous antique shop in Kyoto: Yuxiaoji.
Unlike those stalls in the antique street that have mixed authenticity, everything in Yuxiaoji is priceless.
When Cheng Jingyu took Lu Ruyi in her arms, the shopkeeper's eyes immediately lit up.
In the end, Cheng Jingyu successfully exchanged 150,000 taels of silver notes from the store and reached an agreement with the shopkeeper——
"In two days, this princess will bring someone to buy this Green Ruyi. You will ask for 300,000 taels, but you have to give me another 75,000 taels in addition to the 150,000. This business is worth your three Month’s profit has been made, right?”
The shopkeeper was so confused that she said, "Is there anyone who really wants to buy three hundred thousand taels?"
No matter how valuable this green Ruyi is, he can only resell it for 200,000 taels. Did Princess Cheng really not cheat him?
"Don't worry, he will buy it, but you have to pretend you don't know me, and you must remember it!"
After repeatedly explaining, Cheng Jingyu left Yuxiaoji and hurriedly paid the money for the house.
All the dust has settled and the land deed is in hand.
But now is not the time to give it to Fu Yanci. If she wants to give it to Fu Yanci, she must arrange it properly and surprise him.
After returning to the Hou Mansion, Cheng Jingyu suddenly thought: "What is Cheng Jiaojiao busy with?"
Chunhua saw that she was a good person, but he was not as optimistic as she was. He frowned sadly: "What else can I do? I must be thinking about how to have a private meeting with the prince!"
No, Xiao Heng is grounded.
According to Cheng Jiaojiao's character, she must be blamed for Xiao Heng's grounding.
Moreover, Xiao Shenggao had already informed the prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty's visit to Kyoto, and even directly ordered her to come to the palace to accompany him. The purpose was self-evident.
Cheng Jiaojiao is jealous, and she doesn't want to see her be so proud of herself, so she will definitely do some nasty things.
Now, those who are silent are either trying to cause trouble or plotting to cause trouble.
Cheng Jingyu thought for a while and whispered something in Chunhua's ear.
After Chunhua heard this, she ran away quickly.
The next day arrived in the blink of an eye.
Cheng Jingyu was still sleepy when she was picked up to put on makeup.
It wasn't until she put on her princess crown and the jingling of golden steps and jingle bells that she woke up.
She applied rouge and her red lips appeared.
The person in the bronze mirror was only fifteen, looking like a young man, even his pupils were clear.
Chunhua and several maids dressing up sighed: "Princess, you are so beautiful!"
Cheng Jingyu didn't often dress up, and she never wore her gorgeous clothes even once. Even when there was important business in the palace, she kept it simple in order not to compete for the spotlight of the queen and princess.
Today I put on full makeup.
Even the shiny earlobes were stained with rouge by the maids.
Cheng Jingyu was already good-looking, and no one in Kyoto knew it. Although the eldest daughter of the Chenghou family had a bad temper, her appearance was indeed outstanding.
Otherwise, none of the people who hated her would have called Cheng Jingyu ugly.
Now she actually wants to use this body to welcome the Prince of Zhou.
"Then Prince Zhou is really lucky. When he sees our princess, he falls under her skirt!"
"Yes, His Majesty has also made up his mind to ask our princess to marry this time. Otherwise, why would he order the princess to dress up and attend?"
Seeing that Cheng Jingyu was not very happy, Chunhua waved her hand and said, "Go, go, he must marry her? Our princess hasn't even nodded yet."
"But, if Prince Zhou really likes him..."
"Won't."
Cheng Jingyu suddenly interrupted: "No."
Her words shocked everyone, and they didn't know how the princess could be so sure.
A young waiter asked directly: "Why? The princess's appearance makes even women bow when they see her."
Cheng Jingyu sneered slightly in her heart, but said no more.
Chunhua pinned a goose-yellow hairpin to her temple, which made her face look like snow even more.
"Will Your Highness Fu go today?" Cheng Jingyu asked, staring at herself in the mirror.
Chunhua put down the comb: "Let's go. His Majesty also issued an order for him to go, and the prince actually lifted his restraint in advance and asked him to accompany him."
Cheng Jingyu was not surprised. It was impossible to defeat Xiao Heng based on what happened last time.
And she could guess Xiao Shenggao's thoughts.
Asking Fu Yan to resign is nothing more than asking him to serve as a hostage to see the grand scene of Xi Chu welcoming princes from other countries, so that he can see the difference between guests and hostages.
After all, it was to humiliate him.
The purpose of asking Xiao Heng to go was just to let him see Nie Wenxun and himself, so as to stop the idea of relying on the Cheng family.
All in all, kill three birds with one stone.
As soon as Cheng Jingyu went out, she saw Cheng Jiaojiao, also wearing a pink pleated Ruyi moon skirt, walking towards her with delicate makeup.
"Sister, I heard that my sister is going to see Prince Zhou today. Can you take your sister to see the world too?"
