Chapter 1728: Chapter 1725: Princess Rongyue
She wasnât very patient, but brimming with confidence.
Yet it was precisely this nature that made the young miss, who was initially skeptical, immediately believe what she said.
Although Li Chunâer had a somewhat poor temper and was rather forceful, she undeniably bought the best things, and her taste in admiration was truly beyond doubt.
âAlright, Iâll go take a look.â
Instantly, quite a few young misses followed her downstairs.
The number of people around Zhang Lingâer instantly diminished, leaving only four or five attendants who didnât dare leave and offend her at this moment.
âHow can you believe what Li Chunâer says? Sheâs clearly doing it on purpose.â
âDoing what on purpose?â At this moment, the voice of Princess Rongyue suddenly sounded.
âPrincess!â Upon seeing her, Zhang Lingâer, as if sheâd found a savior, hurried forward and said flatteringly, âPrincess, when did you arrive?â
âJust now. What were you talking about? Where did they all go? Wasnât it said that Bailan Pavilion released new clothes today?â As the granddaughter of the Emperor Xuanmingâs uncle, Princess Rongyue was highly favored in the Imperial Palace.
Just because she looked very similar to Emperor Xuanming, he had shown her special favor since childhood.
As a titled noblewoman of the capital, even Zhang Lingâer and Li Chunâer didnât have her distinguished status.
Li Chunâer saw Princess Rongyue and, for once, didnât speak; she was in a good mood, confident that Zhang Lingâer couldnât persuade her.
âI was discussing with Miss Li whose clothes look better. In my view, while Miss Liâs clothes look good, they canât be the best, because you, Princess, havenât taken yours out yet.â Zhang Lingâer subtly stirred the pot.
Li Chunâer was not the type to stand still and let herself be spoken about without retorting: âI say, Zhang Lingâer, donât you have any shame? Unable to match my clothes, you drag the princess in as a cover. Do you think the princess will believe your nonsense?â
Zhang Lingâerâs smile seemed a bit forced as she glanced at Princess Rongyue, hesitant to speak.
âLi Chunâerâs clothes do indeed look good.â Princess Rongyue couldnât help but step forward and touch her clothes.
Li Chunâer, having been praised, boasted even more: âOf course, they definitely look much better than Zhang Lingâerâs. Donât you agree, Princess?â
Princess Rongyue, fond of beautiful things, seriously compared the outfits of the two upon hearing this.
Zhang Lingâer, seeing that Princess Rongyueâs focus had shifted, quickly spoke up, âUm, Princess, my outfit isnât the best from Bailan Pavilion, nor was I comparing it to hers.â
âLi Chunâer, if your clothes look good, they do, but why do you have to come over and bully me?â
âWhen you mocked me before, why didnât you call it bullying?â Li Chunâer was losing her patience: âSo only youâre allowed to speak, and Iâm not allowed to fight back?â
At this moment, Princess Rongyue spoke up with a rather fair evaluation: âIt is indeed Li Chunâerâs clothes that look better. Her fabric is superior, and yours doesnât compare.â
Just then, the shopkeeper from Bailan Pavilion came over, and upon hearing this, almost turned dark with anger. Were it anyone else, he would certainly not hold back, but it was Princess Rongyue.
The shopkeeper hurriedly squeezed over with a flattering smile: âPrincess, Iâve brought your custom-made outfit. Would you like to take a look?â
âAlright, let me take a look.â Princess Rongyue, seeing the new clothes of the two, felt some anticipation and turned to follow the shopkeeper inside.
Seeing the purple clothes behind the screen, her expectation was suddenly dampened. She frowned: âIs this what I ordered?â
