Yun Ruoyue glanced at Feng'er, "Feng'er, I suspect you have accepted money from Chu Xuanchen. 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, my dear, the prince has not given me any benefit at all. I just hope you can live a good life with him, that's why I said this."
"Live a good life? Is he the kind of man who lives a good life? By the way, it's New Year's Eve in two days. Princes and princesses from all over the country will go to the palace to attend the banquet. I heard from Princess Zhao that everyone should prepare gifts for them.
Your Majesty, tell me, what kind of gift should I prepare?" Yun Ruoyue said.
Feng'er thought for a moment and said: "Delicacies from mountains and seas? Silk and satin? Gold, silver and jade? Unparalleled elixirs?"
Yun Ruoyue said: "Not to mention that your princess is very poor and doesn't have these things at all. Even if I have money, I can't give these away. Who is the emperor? Is he someone who is short of gold and silver? Doesn't he have any good things?
I’ve seen it before, he won’t take it seriously even if I give him any treasure.”
Besides, she was a little money-lover and was reluctant to spend money to buy treasures for the emperor.
Not to mention that she doesn't have a small treasury of her own, even if it is the money from Prince Li's Mansion, it cannot be wasted casually.
A small amount of money cannot buy a good treasure as a gift to the emperor. You have to spend a lot of money to afford the treasure.
But, wouldn’t this be too wasteful?
There are many people in the world who are richer than her. Even if she grits her teeth and sells herself to buy a treasure, it might not be as valuable as one of their feathers.
It seems that this gift-giving matter must be considered in a long-term way. She must give something new and not be embarrassed. She must plan carefully.
Seeing that the empress was worried about giving gifts, Feng'er comforted her and said: "Empress, actually you don't have to worry about giving gifts. Our prince will definitely send a big gift on behalf of Prince Li's palace. You don't have to give gifts."
mark("zhong");
"No, I heard from Princess Zhao that although the palace gives gifts, it is best for the princesses in each palace to give the same gift to show respect for the royal family. Of course it is okay if you don't give it, but it will definitely be given.
People despise and look down on me, but I don’t want to be despised by others.” Especially Su Changxiao.
Yun Ruoyue heard that Su Changxiao had spent a lot of money early on to collect rare treasures from the people, hoping to make a splash at the palace banquet.
Based on Su Changxiao's personality, if he saw her leaving empty-handed, he would definitely despise her.
No, she still had to walk around the streets to see if she could find any precious treasures that didn't cost much.

Thinking of this, Yun Ruoyue took Feng'er out of Prince Li's Mansion and took to the streets.
Yun Ruoyue has rarely gone shopping since she traveled here. Now that the New Year is approaching, the streets are busy and she wants to join in the fun.
The New Year is coming soon, and people are going to the streets to buy new year's goods. People are coming and going on the streets, and it is 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. There are many small vendors selling things on both sides of the street. They sell their own rouge gouache, gold and silver jewelry, candied haws, clay figures, sugar figures, various vegetables and fruits, folk snacks, etc. You can see it.
The clouds are like the moon, which makes me happy.
Sometimes she would buy skewers of candied haws, and sometimes she would sit on the street corner and eat a bowl of wontons or glutinous rice balls. When she saw the weird candy figures, she also bought some and asked Feng'er to hold them.
