Liu Yunxiang asked Shopkeeper Hu to pick out some pieces of silk and satin, and when he walked to the door of the main room, he heard Mrs. Murong roaring.

"If your second sister hadn't asked you to do so, how could you have married the King of England, and how could you have achieved the status you have today! Now it's just asking you to help your second sister, and you are so pushy! What a shame for us. disappointment!"

"At that time, the King of England was just the eighth prince who was not favored. She didn't like this marriage so she pushed it to me! At that time, I was already engaged, but it was you, mother, who canceled the marriage for me and forced me to marry Ying. It belongs to the king!" Murong Zhixi shouted.

"You! You are so shameless, how dare you disobey me!"

"My daughter just refuses to accept it!"

"presumptuous!"

"Mother, I always listen to you and father, but I don't agree with this matter!"

"The original plan was that when the third prince returned to the capital from the south, he would marry your second sister as his concubine, but who knew he... he died there, and your second sister's marriage was abandoned. She is the chief assistant The legitimate daughter of the palace cannot marry anyone at will, let alone marry down. Your father and I just want you to give the King of England a chance to marry your second sister in accordance with the previous engagement. Your second sister loves you so much that she will not compete with you for the position of the main concubine, but will only be a side concubine. And we are not only doing it for her, but also for you. The King of England will return to Beijing soon, and you are pregnant with Liujia, which is very inconvenient. Instead of letting those cheap guys take advantage of the opportunity, it is better to persuade him to marry your second sister, which can also help you stabilize your position as the main wife. After you give birth, if you are a brother, your sister will be able to help you in many ways." Mrs. Murong He suppressed his anger and said sincerely.

Murong Zhiqing snorted, "You still don't agree. Don't forget, you are only in my mother's name. You are just a concubine, and I am the legitimate wife. I will not compete with you for the position of the main wife. I care about the relationship between sisters. Besides, it doesn’t matter if you don’t agree. As long as my father speaks, whether the King of England can disagree or not, I will be happy if she is the main concubine or the side concubine!"

Murong Zhixi was extremely angry. It was obvious that her mother was silent and she was speechless. She didn't know how to reply.

When Liu Yunxiang heard this, he deliberately turned around and shouted to Shopkeeper Hu: "Here comes the brocade. It's the most suitable time to make clothes."

Because of her voice, the place became silent.

Only then did Liu Yunxiang come in with tea. As soon as he entered the door, he smiled and said: "I have kept you three waiting for a long time. Let's try our Darong's Huangshan Maojian first. The high mountains and clouds produce good tea. This pot uses the best quality Maojian." , this amount of tea costs more than 100 taels."

After saying that, she poured a cup of tea for Mrs. Murong and pushed it in front of her.

When Madam Murong heard the 100 taels, her face darkened. These words were clearly a reference to the 100 taels given to her as a thank you gift.

Murong Zhiqing sneered and said: "What kind of crappy tea? One pot costs 100 taels. You really think we have no knowledge!"

Liu Yunxiang still smiled and poured a glass for Murong Zhiqing.

"This tea was sent to the palace, but you two may have never drank it."

As soon as these words came out, Murong Zhiqing couldn't help laughing, because this meant that this was still tribute tea. Of course she had never drunk tribute tea, but Liu Yunxiang used it to entertain guests.

At this moment, she somewhat believed that Liu Yunxiang was really rich.

Liu Yunxiang poured another glass for Murong Zhixi and said: "When I was pregnant, I had to remember to be angry. It would be bad if I got pregnant. The same goes for the princess. The King of England is out there, and he will always be thinking about you. I am thinking about you." The child in your womb.”

Murong Zhixi glanced at her mother and saw a trace of fear and regret flashing across her face after hearing this.

Yes, the King of England is her source of confidence.

She smiled and said: "Yes, when I returned to Beijing, His Royal Highness the King of England warned me a lot, for fear that something would happen to me and the child in my belly."

Madam Murong coughed dryly and said to Liu Yunxiang, "Miss Liu, is this your Nanhonglou silk and satin?"

Liu Yunxiang asked the guys to come forward, lined up in a row, pointed at the silks and satins and said: "Yes, the silks and satins in our Nanhonglou are all shipped from Darong Jiangnan, and these colors are also the new styles of that year."

It's a good day. The place where the waiters are standing happens to be under the sun. The light shines on the silk and satin, which is filled with stars and lights. It is smooth and bright, and it is so dazzling that it is difficult to look directly at it.

Madam Murong's face showed a look of astonishment. Da Rong's silk was famous all over the world. It was said that it was so radiant that when worn on her body, it was like being covered with moonlight. Now it seems that it is indeed well-deserved.

She really wanted to go up and touch it, but in front of someone as lowly as Liu Yunxiang, she had to maintain a superior attitude and not let her feel that she had never seen the world.

"Since you have saved Zhixi, I will take care of your business and give me two horses."

"Mother!" Murong Zhiqing frowned, "Let's go to Huashang Zhai to buy it. I want to buy this junk thing to make clothes. I will wear it on the Hundred Flowers Festival so that people will know that I bought it in such a lowly place. Bu, they are going to laugh me to death!"

Murong Zhixi said displeasedly: "This Nanhonglou is not a lowly place, and the silks and satins here are no worse than anywhere else!"

"Oh, your background as a concubine is indeed suitable for this place. You can buy it here, and my mother and I will go to Huashangzhai!"

With that said, Murong Zhiqing picked up Mrs. Murong and walked out.

Madam Murong really liked these pieces of silk and satin. As she walked, she turned back to Liu Yunxiang and said, "Shopkeeper Liu, please send two pieces to my house for me to wear as regular clothes in private."

Liu Yunxiang smiled and said, "Madam, I'm afraid not."

"Why not?"

"Our rule at Nanhonglou is that customers who want to buy our silk and satin should send proof of identity. After we verify it, we will send invitation letters to some distinguished guests, so that they can come to our Nanhonglou to buy silk and satin."

Madam Murong blinked and thought for a moment before she understood what she meant. She immediately said angrily: "You mean that I am not qualified enough to buy your Nanhonglou clothes?"

"I'm just talking about my Nanhonglou rules. If your wife doesn't like it, just don't buy it."

"Haha, I think highly of you Nan Honglou, but you favor Qiao instead. Forget it, your silks and satins are nothing more than that. They are really not worthy of our status."

After saying that, Madam Murong and Murong Zhiqing left angrily.

After they left, Murong Zhixi burst into laughter.

"Yunxiang, you are so powerful. I always suffer from their reputation."

Liu Yunxiang pulled Murong Zhixi to sit down and said: "You, you are the Princess of England now, they should respect you, how can you suffer!"

Murong Zhixi sighed, "I am a concubine. My aunt passed away just after I was born. I have been raised by my mother since I was a child. She has not treated me poorly, but she is not as good as my own. I respect her, love her, and listen to her in everything. Yeah, I’ve been used to it since I was a child, and I don’t know how to resist.”

"You must not agree to what your mother mentioned!"

When Murong Zhixi heard this, her eyes slowly turned red, "These days, everyone has been persuading me to agree, saying that my parents are also doing it for my own good, saying that I should give in to my eldest sister. Even the maids around me are persuading me, as if I have too many It’s like you don’t know what’s good and what’s good, but you are the only one who understands my thoughts and fights the injustice for me.”

Liu Yunxiang held Murong Zhixi's hand, "Then I'm so good to you, so do me a favor!"

Murong Zhixi nodded quickly, "Okay!"

"In exchange, I will vent your anger on your behalf so that they will not dare to look down upon you again!"

"Yeah, deal!"
