Transmigrated Empresses (Male and Female)

Chapter 254

"I believe you."

Chou Qian looked at them: "Zi Mo, is everything alright with the Ninth Prince? Su Gu, it's very important for you to familiarize yourself with your duties as a new appointee. Your Majesty, please handle the matter we discussed last time as soon as possible, or it will be too late."

Qian Qing said in a sinister tone, "No need for the Prime Minister to worry, I know what I'm doing."

Zi Mo turned around and went to the kitchen to cook, pretending not to hear what he had heard.

Su Gu was thick-skinned. He sat down and stared directly at Chou Qian, ignoring what outsiders might say.

I looked at them; they were really idle. One of them handed me a broom and pointed to the mess outside, saying, "Go sweep it up, don't stand there in the way."

The transvestite studied it for a moment: "Ziyi, how do you use this?"

Qianqing and Chouqian, each holding a tool, stared at each other. Qianqing frowned, while Chouqian remained composed. But I still felt there was a higher chance they'd go out and fight with brooms in hand.

...

I walked in the middle of the road, with a little grass behind my back, my eyes looking at the sky.

"Without fragrance or towering height, you are a little grass unknown to anyone, never lonely, never troubled. Look at my companions, they are everywhere."

"Young master, where are you going?"

"Just wandering around."

"If you are alright, young master, I suggest you go back."

"Who said it's nothing? Showing off is something!" A celebrity like me should be out more often so everyone can get to know me. "Blue skies and white clouds... how much are the grapes?"

"One copper coin at a time."

"So expensive!" I don't know the market price.

Little Grass tugged at me from behind: "Young master, the price is very reasonable."

That makes sense! "Let's see if it works."

"this……"

Xiao Cao tossed down two copper coins and took two skewers: "Young master, please try them."

I popped a piece into my mouth and nodded, "Delicious, thank you for the treat, Little Grass."

Little Grass remained unfazed, holding the grapes and following me.

"The water flows gently by, a jade hand raises the whip, the horse gallops, the moon rises above the willow branches... Uncle, how much are the straw sandals?"

He held up one finger.

My eyes widened: "One hundred taels!"

Xiao Cao continued, "Yi Wen. He can't speak."

I picked up a pair: "Are they made of grass?" There are so many unscrupulous merchants these days who use the "all-natural" label to scam money.

My uncle smiled, his white teeth seeming to say: It's grass.

I pointed at the grass and asked, "Doesn't it look like you?"

Xiao Cao said, "They are straw sandals. Uncle has been selling shoes here for more than ten years."

"Really? Buy one for Chou Qian."

"It's a pair."

"So smart, I'll give you a chance to show off. Now, pay up."

I kicked on my shoes and continued my ostentatious stroll: "A rosy-cheeked beauty, delicate willow-leaf eyebrows, sorrowful thoughts, needle and thread embroidered on a purse, longing in her heart..." I looked up at the plaque above the door—Rouge Green. A good name, I'll go in and take a look.

"Lord Shen? Please come in."

"Pick the best ones and recommend them to me." I'll buy some for Lu Susu and my mother; my generosity is unmatched.

"Yes, yes." The waiter ushered out the big boss, whose round body curled into a ball: "Lord Shen, it is truly an honor for our humble establishment to serve such an important person as you..."

"Stop talking nonsense! Look at the stuff."

He took out the rouge and face powder from the bottom of the box and respectfully handed it to me. "Lord Shen, this is the most popular rouge and face powder this year. Due to the famine, the shops are all out of stock. I specially kept two boxes for you. I wonder if you are satisfied?"

I sniffed it and examined its color—very good, a top-quality product.

"How much silver?"

He held up one finger, and based on my recent shopping experience, I said, "One coin?"

His chubby face contorted into an orange shape as he said, "One thousand taels."

"What! You'd rather eat me! You're trying to trick me, aren't you?!" I'm not complaining.

"My lord, Miss Su of the capital uses rouge from our shop. Our rouge is second to none, and the price is reasonable..."

"Who do you think will use it?"

“Miss Su from the capital…” he said blankly.

I said, "How do you know she used it? Have you seen it? Did you dare to spy on Princess Su?"
