Chapter 308 Such a Banquet
"Hey, have you heard about that? Princess Han is going to host a grand banquet, and I'm afraid it will be filled with jewels and precious stones!"
"By the way, I heard there's a rare treasure auction going on. Did you receive the gold-stamped invitation?"
"Oh my god, that's right! When I received it, my hands were shaking like a sieve."
"Do you think Princess Han got the wrong script? How come even 'female machos' like us who have worked hard in the business world are invited to join the noble banquet?"
"Yes, yes, I was confused too! I thought we were just small talk after dinner, but I never thought we could get into this high-end and classy circle. It's such a novel experience!"
On the street, these business ladies who are usually shrewd and capable now look like contestants about to take part in a beauty pageant. They walk in groups of three or five, arm in arm, with a little excitement and nervousness in their steps.
Their eyes sparkled with curiosity and anticipation about the unknown, as if they were not shopping but on a grand treasure hunt.
"We have to choose carefully. For tomorrow's party, we must not only dress nicely, but also carefully select accessories and gifts. We must not let them down!"
"Yes, I don't want to be the 'forgotten corner' at the banquet. I have to let the whole capital know that we, the wives of merchants, can also hold up our own place!"
"Haha, you're right! We must not only be beautiful, but also beautiful with personality, beautiful enough to make people unable to take their eyes away! When the time comes, we will have a 'merchant women's turnaround' and let those noble ladies see what 'low-key luxury with connotation' means!"
These women are usually busy with their business and rarely have the opportunity to go shopping leisurely.
At this moment, it feels like I’ve returned to my teenage years, and I’m full of interest in every product.
While choosing, they did not forget to joke with each other. The laughter filled the whole street, attracting the attention of passers-by.
The banquet hosted by Princess Han was really popular before it even started, and even these merchant wives became so extraordinary.
The next day, Liu Jingshu's event named "Spring Blooming Banquet" kicked off with a bang.
This is not a banquet at all, it's simply a large-scale acting show by the Beijing nobility where "they don't look at the monk's face, they look at the emperor's face"!
Although the guests privately sneered at the "Princess Han" who jumped into the palace from the ridge of the field, they were calculating in their hearts like an abacus.
Is a peasant girl worthy enough to dance with us noblemen?
Not to mention that she also carries the embarrassing label of "being captured on the battlefield", which makes her the king of jokes.
But the world is so treacherous and changeable.
Like the wild flowers that suddenly pop up in spring, their vitality is so tenacious that it is astonishing.
The gossip circulating among the people lately is flying more everywhere than willow catkins in spring.
The old emperor actually gave all his personal bodyguards, the legendary Shadow Guards, to King Han!
This move was like giving wings to Prince Han, allowing him to instantly be on par with the Second Prince, the Ninth Prince, and the Fifteenth Prince, becoming a dark horse in the battle for the throne.
Now, the weather in the capital city is even more lively.
The four princes each hold a large army in their hands. They are like four exotic flowers, vying for beauty on the stage of power. They are just short of singing "I am the emperor, who am I afraid of?"
As a result, those noble ladies who usually looked down on others put on their most gentle smiles, dressed up carefully as if they were participating in a beauty pageant, and carried "treasures" that could dazzle people's eyes.
Look, each of these treasures has been treasured for many years.
Pearls from the South China Sea, sable furs from the North, thousand-year-old jade, and rare treasures from the Western Regions.
I'm afraid he would like to move all his family wealth here just to make himself known at this banquet, and at the same time test the winds to see which prince will be the future true emperor.
The ladies' laughter and flattery were heard one after another, mixed with some gossip discussions that were difficult to distinguish between true and false.
However, when the first merchant woman slowly stepped into the venue, stepping on the glittering "Road of Wealth" (actually, the light reflected from her jewel-studded shoes on the smooth floor), the noise in the venue suddenly stopped.
The only background music was the crisp sound of her heavy gold chain and gems colliding with each other.
Then, a burst of laughter came like a tide, but it was not as pure as ordinary laughter. It was more like some complex emotions intertwined in the ladies' hearts, and it erupted into an awkward and ironic resonance.
Liu Jingshu, the legendary Princess Han, dressed in a simple yet elegant dress (of course, in the eyes of the ladies it might just be "too plain"), slowly walked to the stage, ready to host this "unique" banquet.
Her eyes flashed with determination and indifference to the criticism around her.
The ladies' inner laughter was like flies buzzing in the summer afternoon, but it failed to shake her at all.
Liu Jingshu was aware of these invisible taunts, but she just smiled slightly, with a hint of confidence in her smile.
She chose to hold the banquet at this time not to become a laughing stock among the ladies, but because she had more far-reaching plans.
Raise money!
Yes, she wants to raise funds through crowdfunding, and then use the money raised to expand the "Beauty and Smile Shop" that is popular all over the city (at least in her heart), so that beauty and laughter can spread to every corner.
She wants to use an unprecedented way to make these ladies, who are as proud as peacocks in their daily lives, willingly become her "sugar daddies" and "living signs".
“Dear ladies, are you tired of the monotonous luxurious life?
Do you want to find resonance and laughter in your soul while taking care of your skin?
Then, please allow me, Liu Jingshu, to take you on an unprecedented expansion journey of 'Beauty Smile Shop'!"
The women didn't take it seriously at all. When Liu Jingshu put out a shelf, their eyes almost popped out.
