Rainbow Brocade Workshop was one of the silk shops run by Murong Shanglei. These few days, because the Crown Prince was going to choose a consort, the business in the workshop was surprisingly good. Many high-quality silks were out of stock.
"Husband, we earned a lot of money today.”The one who spoke was Shang Lei's beloved wife, Pang Linglong, who was also the accountant. Because her family had been in business for generations, she had been influenced since she was young and had a good business mind. She was her husband's most capable wife.
The accounts were clear. Pang Linglong looked at the number that kept rising and felt incredulous."Husband, when the Crown Prince chooses his wife, isn't he only choosing one? Why does it seem like all the young women are preparing to marry the Crown Prince?”
"Which woman doesn't want to become a phoenix?”Shang Lei said to his wife," Choosing a crown princess from all over the country. Whether it's from the common people or the government, there will naturally be more women participating. It's no wonder that our silk business is not doing well."”
"What's so good about marrying the Crown Prince as his concubine? I've heard Shang Jun mention that the current Crown Prince is a cold and arrogant man, so how could those mortal flowers catch his eye? In the end, wouldn't it be a waste of time?"
"That being said, wealth and glory are too attractive. Just watch, more people will come to buy our brocade in the next few days.”Shang Lei told his wife.
Pang Linglong was not like any other woman. She was straightforward and shrewd, yet gentle. She had her own ideas."What's the use of such an illusion? She might as well find a man who doted on her, give birth to a few cute babies, and live a peaceful and happy life.”
Their beloved son, Feifan, was already six years old. He was very cute.
"Linglong, that's just what we think." Murong Shanglei smiled. You hope to be in love with me until our hair turns white. Even if our days are poor, we can still live happily. However, not all women have the same thoughts as you. Most of them want to have a life of luxurious clothes and delicious food. The Crown Prince's character was not important to them. What was important was the life behind him. He represented power and endless wealth.”
"Even though I have never entered the palace, I can tell with my feet that life in the palace must not be easy. Although our Crown Prince is young, promising, and very powerful.”As she spoke, she suddenly realized a fact."Husband, is Sister Yan 'er also going to enter the palace to participate? She was so special. It would be troublesome if the Crown Prince took a fancy to her.”
Pang Linglong had only seen the true face of her husband's sister once. However, it was this one and only time that left a deep impression on her. She remembered that when she first married into the Murong family, she thought that her husband's younger sister covered her face with a veil because she was ugly, so she was too embarrassed to ask. Until one day, she saw Yan 'er practicing her sword in the garden. Her veil was hooked by several branches. When she took off her veil and looked at her otherworldly beauty, she could not believe that there was such a beautiful person in the world. Her strange fragrance and strange illness were also slowly discovered by her.
"That's right. As her elder brother, I understand her personality very well. She wouldn't want to be the crown prince's consort, not to mention that she has a strange illness.”Shang Lei said.
"Although she has no intention of doing so," Pang Linglong said worriedly,"she is still in the process of choosing a concubine. The Emperor's orders cannot be disobeyed." If the Crown Prince saw her true face, it would be impossible for him not to be moved. However, the strange illness on her body would not allow men to get close to her.”
"Linglong, you don't have to worry too much. Yan 'er is talented and will have a way to solve it.”
"Your sister is the smartest woman I've ever seen.”Exquisite praised.
"You're not bad either." Shang Lei hugged his wife and left a kiss on her forehead."Why don't we go back to the residence today?”They did not stay in the Murong Residence for long, and would only return home to visit after some time.
"Alright, Feifan must miss them too.”Pang Linglong snuggled in her husband's arms.
Miss Rong Ya Pavilion, are you really going to disguise yourself and participate in the Crown Princess Consort's selection?”Qingfeng asked as he combed her hair. Last time, she was the one who helped the young miss put on her disguise.
"There's no better way now.”Qingcheng said.
"Miss, no matter how you change your appearance, your eyes are still clear and beautiful.”Qing Feng spoke the truth. This was one of the flaws of the disguise technique. No matter how one tried to hide their true appearance, their eyes would still look the same.
"This is unavoidable. Qingfeng, you should know what I'm thinking. The palace is not a place I want to stay. Even if I wanted to, how could my strange illness be tolerated in the palace? He would probably be locked up as an alien. I don't want my family to be burdened by me.”
"Miss, Qingfeng knows your helplessness better than anyone else. Miss, you're really too beautiful. It's a pity that your strange illness has dragged you down.”Qing Feng felt sorry for his miss.
"No man is perfect." Qingcheng could only say this.
As she spoke, Ming Yue walked into the young lady's room.""Young Miss, Eldest Young Master and Young Madam have returned to the residence. Old Master wants you to go over.”
"Big brother is back. Alright, I'll go over immediately.”Qingcheng put the veil back on her face and went downstairs.
In the reception hall, Shang Lei and his wife had greeted their parents and were asking about their well-being.
"Father, Mother, how have you been recently?”Pang Linglong asked.
"We're all fine." "The Crown Prince is going to choose a concubine these few days. I think Caijin Square must be very busy, right?"”
"Yes, I earned quite a bit of silver." "Shang Lei and I are somewhat worried when we think about the possibility of Sister Yan 'er participating in the consort selection," said Pang Linglong.”
Murong Youdao was teasing his eldest grandson."Little Treasure, you've grown taller and heavier.”
Grandfather, I miss you so much." Feifan pestered him,"I've learned a few new words."”
"Oh? Quick, write it down for Grandpa." Murong Youdao laughed happily.
The grandfather and grandson walked to the desk, where the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone were complete. Feifan wrote stroke by stroke as Murong Youdao watched with a smile.
"Father, Teacher Feifan often praises him for being smart. His handwriting is getting better and better.”"I've been busy recently, so I rarely come to visit. I hope you don't mind." Murong Shanglei said.”
"How can that be? Don't treat me as an outsider!”"You've taught Little Treasure well, so we're not worried. However, your father is worried about Yan 'er."”
"Does she have an idea?" Shang Lei asked.
"Thank you for your concern, Big Brother!" Qingcheng stepped forward.”Then, she bowed and said,"Yan 'er greets Big Brother and Sister-in-law. How are you?"”
"Yan 'er, you're here." "Have you decided to enter the palace?" Pang Linglong walked to Qingcheng's side.”
Qingcheng told him her plan.
"This is too much for you." Pang Linglong sighed.
Although they didn't meet often, the friendship between them was enviable.
"Auntie, Little Treasure greets Auntie!”Feifan put down his brush and walked forward to bow to Qingcheng. He suddenly said,""Auntie, you smell so good."
"That's right, Yan 'er. Even children can smell the fragrance on your body. I'm afraid that those people will keep you in the palace because of this reason.”Shang Lei said worriedly.
"I can try my best not to let the fragrance spread out. I'll be extra careful on the day of the preliminary selection.”
"Yan 'er's matter is not a small matter. It concerns the entire Murong Clan. I hope everything will go smoothly.”Murong Youdao said.
