Princess Consort Is No Pushover

Yun Ruoyue glanced at Feng'er, "Feng'er, I suspect that you took Chu Xuanchen's money. Tell me, how many benefits did he give you, and you actually started to speak for him?"

Feng'er's face turned pale with fright, and she quickly shook her head, "No, ma'am, the prince didn't give me any favors at all. I just said that because I hope you and him will have a good life."

"Live a good life? Is he the kind of man who lives a good life? By the way, it will be New Year's Eve in two days, and the princes and princesses of all the houses will go to the palace to participate in the night banquet. I heard from Princess Zhao that everyone should prepare gifts for him. Your Majesty, tell me, what kind of gift should I prepare?" Yun Ruoyue said.

Feng'er thought for a while and said, "Delicates from mountains and seas? Silk and satin? Gold, silver and jade? Peerless medicine?"

Yun Ruoyue said: "Not to mention that your concubine is poor, she doesn't have these things at all, even if I have money, I can't give them away. Who is the emperor? Is he short of gold and silver treasures? Does he have any good things? I've seen it before, he won't pay attention to any treasure I give you."

Besides, she is a small money fanatic, but she is reluctant to spend money to buy treasures to send to the emperor.

Not to mention that she doesn't have a small treasury, even the money from Prince Li's Mansion cannot be wasted casually.

Sending treasures to the emperor, a small amount of money can't buy any good treasures at all, you have to spend a lot of money to afford treasures.

But wouldn't that be too wasteful?

There are many people richer than her in this world, even if she gritted her teeth and sold herself to buy a treasure, it might not be as valuable as a feather from others.

It seems that this matter of gift giving must be considered in a long-term way. She has to plan carefully in order to give something new and not be ashamed.

Feng'er saw that the empress was frowning about giving gifts, so she comforted: "Empress, in fact, you don't have to worry about giving gifts, our prince will definitely give a big gift on behalf of Prince Li's mansion, you don't have to give gifts."

"No, I heard from Princess Zhao that although there are gifts from the palace, it is best for the princesses of each palace to give the same gift to show respect for the royal family. Of course it's okay if you don't give it, but you will definitely be given it." People despise and look down on me, I don't want to be despised." Especially that Su Changxiao.

Yun Ruoyue heard that Su Changxiao spent a lot of money early on to collect rare treasures from the people, hoping to show off at the palace banquet.

With Su Changxiao's personality, if he saw her leave empty-handed at that time, he would definitely despise her.

No, she still has to go for a walk on the street to see if she can find something precious and inexpensive.

-

Thinking of this, Yun Ruoyue took Feng'er out of Prince Li's mansion and took to the streets.

Since Yun Ruoyue traveled here, she seldom goes shopping, and now that the streets are busy during the Chinese New Year, she also wants to join in the fun.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the common people go to the streets to buy new year's goods, and the streets are full of people, shoulder to shoulder, very lively.

Soon, Yun Ruoyue and Feng'er came to the busiest street in Shengjing City - Xihua Street.

There are many shops on both sides of the street, and there are many small vendors selling things on both sides of the street. They sell their own rouge powder, gold and silver jewelry, candied haws, clay figurines, sugar figurines, various vegetables and fruits, folk snacks, etc. Yun Ruoyue is very happy.

Sometimes she bought bunches of candied haws, and sometimes she sat on a street corner and ate a bowl of wontons or glutinous rice balls. When she saw strange sugar figurines, she also bought some and asked Feng'er to take them.
