Traveling through the ancient times

Several people stayed in the farm until the evening, then packed up their things and returned to the mansion before the city gates closed.

After staying in Kyoto for a few days, Chuchuhua and her husband decided to return to Qunan. Since they had both graduated from the academy, they were going to go back to their hometown in Yangshan Town after returning to Qunan. So they agreed to buy some Kyoto specialties to bring back.

During the day, the streets and alleys of Kyoto City were bustling with people. Before Jiang Ruixue went out, she asked Nanny Du and found out that there was a place called Xia Nan Street, next to Shang Nan Street, that specialized in selling local specialties.

Nanny Du naturally wanted to go with them, but was persuaded by Jiang Ruixue. There were still many matters of all sizes in the prince's mansion that needed Nanny Du's care, and it would be inappropriate to trouble her further, so the two of them asked the coachman to take them directly to Xia Nan Street.

The shops here are basically single storefronts, and each one sells different things, including specialties from Dongyi Country as well as some items from other neighboring countries.

The two of them were in high spirits and visited various shops one by one, finding many novel things in them. After walking down the street, Mingyue and Hualing were full of things, and Chushouhua and the other two also had quite a few things in their hands.

They returned to the street corner, put all the things they had found into the carriage, and walked up South Street. Jiang Ruixue wanted to buy some jewelry for her mother, and Nianchuhua also wanted to see if there was anything suitable for her mother.

Several people came to Diancui Tower. As soon as they walked in, they heard a familiar voice coming from behind them, "Hey, isn't this the young lady from the country farmer's family? Is Diancui Tower also a place you can come to?"

After Princess Changning finished speaking, she looked up and down at Nian Chuhua with disdain.

"Dian Cui Lou is open for business, the princess can come, why can't I come." Chushulhua was speechless, this is a common drama among brainless white lotuses.

"Who am I? Who are you? Are you worthy to be compared with me? I advise you to get out early. The things in Dian Cui Tower are very valuable. If Miss Nian breaks or destroys them, you can't afford the compensation." After Princess Changning finished speaking, she covered her mouth and laughed.

"Why does the princess have to use her power to pressure others? Whether or not you can afford to compensate for the things is not something you need to worry about. Besides, the things in Dian Cui Lou are not made of tofu. How can they be easily damaged or broken?"

Nchu Hua just wanted to roll her eyes. If you are angry with Lu Mingqian, go find him. Why are you throwing a tantrum in front of me?

"How dare you speak to the princess like that and not kneel down when you see her." Princess Changning's maid saw that Nianchuhua didn't take her master seriously, so she scolded him. "Come here, teach this lowly person how to be polite."

The maids and servants behind came forward upon hearing the noise. Princess Changning did not say anything to stop them, but looked at Nian Chuhua leisurely, waiting for her to kneel down and beg for mercy.

Hua Ling was about to pull out the whip. Since these people dared to approach her young lady, she would definitely treat them to a meal of fried meat with a long whip.

The clear and bright days in the dark were also waiting for an opportunity to act.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Jiang Ruixue hurried forward and stood in front of Nian Chuhua, "Why is the princess so embarrassed? My two sisters just entered Dian Cui Tower, and it seems that we did not offend the princess."

When Princess Changning saw Jiang Ruixue speaking up for Nianchuhua, she said unhappily, "Miss Jiang, this is a matter between me and this lowly person. Miss Jiang had better not interfere. Besides, Miss Jiang is the niece of the Imperial Concubine. How can she call this lowly person her sister? Isn't this lowering her status and slapping the Imperial Concubine in the face?"

Jiang Ruixue was also angry when she saw Princess Changning actually brought up the Imperial Concubine. "What is a lowly person? The ruler of our dynasty is diligent in government and loves the people. He puts the people first. All people under heaven are the ruler's subjects.

Farmers work hard all day long, paying taxes to the country and filling the treasury, so that the foundation of the country can be stable. The king is respectful to the wise and humble, and he even went to the fields to discuss mulberry planting with farmers. May I ask the princess, why are the people so lowly? "

Jiang Ruixue couldn't stand these young ladies from wealthy families. They ate the food grown by farmers and yet looked down on the farmers as lowly.

Princess Changning saw that Jiang Ruixue was using the status of king to pressure her, but she was powerless to refute. If she said that the people were inferior, wouldn't that be going against the king?

Princess Changning was speechless. She walked over to grab the maid who had painted Nianchu, but she was in a dilemma.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper of Diancuilou hurried out to smooth things over. "Ladies, calm down and let's talk it over. Princess, the clerk has brought the jewelry you ordered. Please go upstairs and take a look. Are you satisfied?"

Princess Changning didn't know how to back down, so she followed the shopkeeper's instructions and said, "Okay, I'll go take a look now." After saying that, she turned around and went upstairs.

Jiang Ruixue saw that Princess Changning wanted to just leave like that, "Princess, wait a minute!"

Princess Changning, who had just turned around, was furious. She didn't even bother to argue with them, so what else did they want?

Princess Changning turned around and looked at Jiang Ruixue expressionlessly, "Miss Jiang, what else do you want?"

"The princess has offended Chu Hua, please apologize to her."

What? Princess Changning thought she had heard wrongly. Jiang Ruixue dared to ask her to apologize to this lowly person? Where did she get the courage?

"Miss Jiang, are you planning to keep holding on to this matter?" Princess Changning asked Jiang Ruixue with gritted teeth.

"As the saying goes, the emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people. The princess did something wrong, so she should apologize." Jiang Ruixue said as a matter of course.

Princess Changning refused to apologize and stood there in a dilemma.

Seeing this, Nianchuhua pulled Jiang Ruixue's sleeve and whispered, "Ruixue, forget it!"

It's not that Chu Shuhua doesn't want Princess Changning to apologize to her, but she herself doesn't have the ability to do so. If Jiang Ruixue stands up for her, she will definitely create a feud with Princess Changning, and Princess Changning will definitely cause trouble for Jiang Ruixue in the future, which she doesn't want to see.

Forget it, in front of power, you have to bow your head when you need to...

The shopkeeper saw that the early spring paintings seemed to be loosening up, so he smiled and bowed to persuade them, and stretched out his hand to invite them, "Ladies, our store has just put on some new styles. Please come this way, ladies. I will show you some to choose from and see if you like them!"

Seeing this, Nianchuhua pulled Jiang Ruixue and followed the shopkeeper to the counter nearby.

Princess Changning breathed a sigh of relief, gave Nian Chuhua a look that said "you're smart", snorted, and turned to go upstairs.

Princess Changning just couldn't stand the fact that Lu Mingqian treated Nian Chuhua differently, so she wanted to make trouble for her. However, she didn't want to have any unpleasantness with Jiang Ruixue. After all, Jiang Ruixue was the imperial concubine's niece. If the matter got out of hand, it would not be good for their Mingyuan Marquis Mansion.

She might even make her father unhappy because of this, and then he would punish her and ground her. Wouldn't she have even less chance to see Brother Qian? Brother Qian was not often in Kyoto, and he finally came back. She couldn't lose the big picture because of the small one.

The shopkeeper took out all the latest styles of the past few days and placed them in front of the two of them. "Ladies, these are the latest styles. Do you like any of them?"

Nian Chuhua took Jiang Ruixue to look at the jewelry on the tray. Jiang Ruixue took a fancy to a pair of earrings, and Nian Chuhua picked out a pair of hairpins and a pair of earrings, both of which were suitable for her mother. They paid the money, and after that incident, they had no intention of shopping anymore, so they went home.
