My Lord, please respect yourself. I am the wife of a marquis.

Chapter 159 After all, I have returned to Beijing, so I have to go back to the palace to take a look

Soldiers were not allowed to enter the capital, so Xiao Yunjin asked most of them to go back and left another part disguised as ordinary guards to follow.

When Prince Jin returned to the capital, he naturally brought with him some grandeur. Even if he only kept a part of it, it was enough to intimidate. The first thing he did when he arrived in the capital was to go straight to Linglang Pavilion.

A group of people surrounded Linglang Pavilion, and the people who were buying things inside ran around in fear. Xiao Yunjin strode in. The guards who followed him were very observant. After Xiao Yunjin stopped, they immediately brought a chair.

Xiao Yunjin sat there with his arms and legs spread out, not saying a word, and watched people running out in a panic.

The shopkeeper came out trembling, "Your Majesty...Your Majesty, please forgive me."

The guard stepped forward and kicked him, "Who do you think you are? Let your boss come out."

The shopkeeper let out a loud cry, then quickly closed his mouth, held his stomach, struggled to get up, and went to contact his boss.

The boss came very quickly. He was fat, and the fat on his belly was shaking when he ran. He knelt on the ground as soon as he arrived. He was obviously more perceptive than the shopkeeper. "I greet Prince Jin. What are your instructions? I will do my best to serve you."

Xiao Yunjin sat on a chair, casually took out something from his arms, and threw it to the ground. With a bang, it broke into pieces.

"A few days ago, I asked my servants to come to your place to buy something, but you actually used this broken thing to fool me. It seems like you are tired of living."

The fat boss looked at the pool of emerald green powder on the ground and was unable to react for a moment, so he wondered what the prince had bought from him.

The fat boss dared not get angry or say anything, he just fell to the ground and admitted his mistake, "I know I was wrong, I was blind and didn't recognize the great man." The fat boss only dared to raise half of his body and said to the shopkeeper behind him, "Stupid thing, why don't you quickly take out all the jade in the store for the prince to choose."

The poor shopkeeper, who had just kneeled down holding his stomach, got up again and said, "As you command, as you command."

All the finest jade pendants from Linglang Pavilion were brought up, filling the entire room with a dazzling array of items.

The fat boss raised his head cautiously and said, "Your Majesty, please choose whatever you want. This will be my apology to you."

Xiao Yunjin snorted coldly, "You sound like I want to bully you. How come I need your money for the things I bought?"

"I dare not, I dare not, that's not what I meant." In the middle of winter, the fat boss' forehead was covered with cold sweat. He had just taken over Linglang Pavilion and had no idea how he had offended this gentleman. "It's really... I just bought this store. I wonder what you want to buy?"

"So, you think I'm here to blackmail you." Xiao Yunjin's fingers tapped lightly on the armrest. "I just bought something, and you're changing it now. What's wrong? Do you think I'm playing a trick on you?"

“Your Highness, please forgive me. Your Highness, please forgive me. I definitely did not mean that.” Even if the fat boss was stupid, he knew that the former boss had offended the prince, otherwise how could Linglang Pavilion, which had the best status, be transferred to him.

In his heart, he lit a candle for his friend. At this time, it is better for me to die than for my friend to die. "Linglang Pavilion was bought from the brother of the wife of Marquis Jian'an."

If you don’t speak up at this time, you will die. Fat Boss has no burden in selling people. “Everything I said is true. Even if they are selling fake goods, it is them who did it.”

Xiao Yunjin was satisfied. This man was quite sensible. "Get up!"

The fat boss then dared to wipe the sweat from his forehead. He took out a pink handkerchief from his arms, wiped his fat face with it, put on an ingratiating smile, and then tremblingly got up.

If he could find some clues, Xiao Yunjin would be able to follow the thread to get to the bottom of the matter. At this moment, he felt a little better. Looking at the dazzling array of jadeite and jade wares, he suddenly remembered that he had never bought anything for Su Muxi.

He stood up and started to choose in a good mood. Su Muxi had a bright appearance and red was the color that suited her best. He picked up a gold hairpin inlaid with rubies, thinking that she would look good in it.

But then he shook his head and said, "No, this tassel is too long and will easily get tangled in the hair."

Xiao Yunjin picked and chose but was never satisfied. The fat boss was a man with a keen eye. Seeing that all the things Xiao Yunjin picked were for women, he thought they must be prepared for the princess. Everyone in the capital knew that good days were coming for Princess Jin.

Prince Jin is back, and the child she is pregnant with is not a posthumous child, but a little prince. His biological father is Prince Huaiyang, and his husband is a prince who has made great contributions in supporting the northwest.

"Your Highness, if you are choosing for your wife, you can take a look at the ones here." Seeing that Xiao Yunjin picked only brightly colored ones, the fat boss probably guessed his preference.

"This is a gift for someone, I think it's for Ying Xin." Although the fat boss had just taken over Linglang Pavilion, he started out as a jewellery dealer before taking over. "My family has a complete set of ancestral gold and jade jewellery, each one is exquisite."

At this moment, Xiao Yunjin felt that this fat boss was very likable, "Let me see it."

"Then Your Majesty, please take a look first. If you like any of them, ask the shopkeeper to pack them up. The items in Linglang Pavilion are all unique and are especially popular with the ladies. When the ladies attend banquets in the future, they will definitely outshine all the other beauties."

The fat boss was scared to death today, but then he felt that this was an opportunity. After all, a small character like him didn't have many chances to meet a noble person. If he could serve Prince Jin well today, it would be a blessing in disguise.

The fat boss first satisfied Xiao Yunjin's curiosity, and then instructed the shopkeeper to write down everything Xiao Yunjin liked and send it directly to his house when the time comes.

The shopkeeper held his stomach and nodded, and the fat boss then went to the warehouse to get the jewelry with peace of mind.

Xiao Yunjin saw everything and took out the gold hairpin inlaid with rubies again. What the fat boss said just now was very right. Although Su Muxi didn't often wear this kind of tassel hairpin, it was not absolute.

On Old Lady An’s birthday, she wore a princess-grade dress that was very beautiful and also inlaid with rubies.

Xiao Yunjin picked out two more jade hairpins, one was completely snow-white, shaped like a crescent moon and very translucent, and the other had a light pink hue and had a few peach blossoms carved on it, just like the peach forest where they met.

After selecting these, the fat boss came back, followed by several people, each of whom had a brocade box in his arms. "Your Highness, please take a look." As he said this, he opened the brocade boxes one by one.

Against the backdrop of gold silk and satin, the set of ruby ​​jewelry was dazzling and gorgeous. It was really beautiful. There were nine brocade boxes and ninety-nine pieces of jewelry, from hairpins and rings to accessories, all of which were exquisite and skillful.

The fat boss said proudly: "This set of jewelry is a family heirloom, made by my grandfather himself. The rubies are of the same color and material, and there are just enough to make ninety-nine pieces of jewelry, which means longevity."

"The prince likes it."

I like it. Of course I like it. This set really suits Su Muxi. "How much silver?"

The fat boss pursed his lips and said, "One hundred thousand taels of gold."

Xiao Yunjin didn't even stutter, "Wrap it up."

The guard who had just moved the chair came forward and placed a stack of silver bills in the fat boss's hand, then called on the guard with steady hands to come over and take the box.

Xiao Yunjin was full of anger when he came, but was happy when he left. A large group of people followed him, and he was holding a dozen brocade boxes in his hands. This grand occasion attracted countless people to stop and watch.

The news soon reached the emperor's ears.

Xiao Yunjin didn't care about all this. He took the things and went to Prince Jin's Mansion. After all, he had returned to the capital, so he had to go back to the palace to check on his pregnant princess. After all, he had to show some concern for her.
