Xia Yan has been following me leisurely, while Pang Yi is always paying attention to the movements around him. From his feeling, it seems that everyone on the street wants to assassinate me.
I stopped at a jade shop: "This is it! You guys wait outside!"
Pang Yi looked around for a while and said, "Master, please hurry up!"
When the boss saw me coming in, he hurriedly greeted me with a smile on his face: "Sir, come in and take a look, the store has just arrived with new products!"
I nodded and glanced around. Women are always better at shopping than men. There is no doubt about this. I spotted a safety lock in the cabinet at a glance.
The best mutton-fat jade has a charming water color all over its body. This is the best type of jade. Moreover, this lock has a good meaning, which means safe entry and exit. I hope Xia Yan will always be safe and sound with this.
I asked the boss to take it out: "Wrap this for me!"
"Sir, this piece of jade is not cheap!" the boss reminded seriously.
"How much?"
"A piece of gold!"
My anus suddenly tightened, do you want that much?
"Young Master is a decent man, and the items he selected are the treasures of our store. This safety lock is quite old, and anyone who knows the goods will know it at a glance!" the boss persuaded me tirelessly.
Of course I knew it was a good thing, but I didn’t have that much money. Even if it was the best thing, I couldn’t afford it. I was a little discouraged and prepared to look around again. When I walked to the door, I saw Xia Yan staring at a place in a daze.
I was looking at a father and son on the street. The son was crying and wanted to eat candied haws. The father didn't give it to him, so the son rolled on the ground and got all dirty. The father had no choice but to sigh, pick up the son and buy one.
Candied haws.
The father and son were dressed simply, and they were not rich people. Maybe they bought candied haws, which would be one less dish in the family's dinner. When I saw this, I pulled back suddenly.
When the boss saw me coming back, he smiled happily and said, "Young master, have you decided to buy?"
I took out the dagger my father gave me from my boot, slapped it on the table and said, "Boss, do you think this dagger is worth an ingot of gold?"
There is a goose egg-sized gemstone inlaid at the bottom of the dagger handle. It is estimated that you can buy several pieces of this jade.
The boss was drooling and looked at my dagger over and over: "It's worth it, it's worth it... Man, hurry up and help this young man wrap up the jade!"
"Get me a nice box!"
"Okay, okay, I'll get the young master a mahogany box!"
After saying that, he quickly put the dagger in his chest as if he was afraid that I would regret it. The boss didn't show up until I left.
Holding the mahogany box, I left with satisfaction.
After returning to the palace, I secretly hid the box under Xia Yan's bed and planned to talk about it on his birthday!
The next day when I went to court, Xiao Junzi hurried over and said: "The king is not good, the king is not good!"
"What are you so worried about?"
"Concubine Xian took all the concubines to Panlong Palace!"
Concubine Xian? My eyes tightened and I paused for a while. What tricks does she want to play?
"Let's go and have a look!"
Leaving everything behind, Xiao Junzi and I returned to Panlong Palace.
As soon as I entered the door, I could smell the tangy smell of fragrant powder. All concubines of high rank were present. When they saw me coming, everyone hurriedly saluted.
"Get up!" I made a gesture.
"Your Majesty!" Concubine Xian looked cautious when she saw me.
"What's going on?" I asked.
"I suspect that Changting is a spy sent by Anguo!"
