Baili Jia Jue asked again, “How expensive do you want it to be?”
Helian Wei Wei counted according to the currency of the ancient times. It is now summer, there’s no need for any fur coats, so a robe with normal fabric might need about 10 silver, the most expensive one not exceeding 50 silver. Thinking that 70 silver should be enough, she said, “Approximately 70 silver, I don’t mind if the price is more than that.” As she was trying to prove that she was rich, she placed more emphasis on the last part of her sentence.
Baili Jia Jue raised an eyebrow and said, “You can’t buy a bottoming shirt with 70 silver.”
The corners of Helian Wei Wei’s lips twitched, “Er… I was talking about a whole set.”
Baili Jia Jue looked at her for a while and frowned, “I didn’t know that you were this poor.”
Helian Wei Wei: … That was already the most expensive one!
Most ladies from aristocratic families would spend about 50 silver on their best clothing.
Why is it that when she’s around a certain prince, she would always feel like someone who was previously living under a rock and got rich suddenly?
Someone quickly tell her that this much be a misconception!
Baili Jia Jue looked at her, “If you need more money in the future, get it from Shadow. Later, try whatever it is that I pick for you.”
Is he being disgusted at her clothes now?
Helian Wei Wei want to explain herself.
But the way that he looked at her was like he was looking at a street cat, and that made her unable to explain herself.
She even started to doubt herself as to whether she’s really poor…
Luckily, there are still people that are normal.
Shadow said in a small voice while standing beside her, “His Highness is used to using good things since he was young.”
The things that he uses are not just good, they are probably the best in the whole world.
Helian Wei Wei always knew that this man was brought up with a silver spoon in his mouth, so she didn’t mind it that much.
Shadow prepared the best carriage. He walked to the front of the carriage, placed his finger on his left arm and politely bowed at Helian Wei Wei and Baili Jia Jue.
Ever since a certain prince announced his identity, there was no need for any notice of absence anymore.
The teachers even wanted to line up to see him off.
He was already the student that the teachers already cracked their heads over, now that he revealed his identity, the teachers only felt more troubled. This was because they would not dare to control a student like this.
Even if Baili Jia Jue did not reveal his identity, just one look from him would urge the teachers to pass out leaves of absence to him.
Even Eunuch Sun had purposely come from the palace after hearing that Baili Jia Jue was going to take Helian Wei Wei shopping. He met them at the foot of the mountain.
He looked at Baili Jia Jue with his watery eyes throughout the trip, thinking that His Highness is finally accompanying a girl to go shopping. If this was in the past, Eunuch Sun would not even dare to think about it.
This is all thanks to Miss, oh no, he should call her Princess Consort now.
As expected of the Princess Consort!
So when Helian Wei Wei stepped down from the carriage, Eunuch Sun gave her a whole stack of money and said: “Princess Consort, do buy more. If this is not enough, I have more. I will be waiting out here, just take your time shopping with His Highness.”
Helian Wei Wei looked at the money in her hand, every one of them was 100 silver and there were about 70 to 80 pieces of it… According to this amount, she really is not wealthy enough.
Baili Jia Jue seems to be very familiar with this. To him, money is like white paper, there’s no difference between the two.
On this point, Helian Wei Wei is still impressed with a certain prince as he is able to look at money as if it was nothing.
She would never be able to do it. The colour of money was her favourite.
As Helian Wei Wei blew at the money in her hands, she looked very much like a ruffian. She would return anything that’s left after she’s done.
Although she, Helian Wei Wei liked to have money, but she won’t take advantage of anyone.
Of course the money should not be the main point now, instead she would be focusing on whether the clothes are comfortable and pretty or not…
“Let’s go.” Baili Jia Jue brushed his robe, his voice as still as ever. He emptied a hand and held her close to him.
Helian Wei Wei went along with it. She didn’t forget that Eunuch Sun is still watching behind them, later he must report back to the Retired Emperor, so a show of their affection is sometimes necessary.
As she was thinking about this, she looked back and Helian Wei Wei saw Eunuch Sun gesturing ‘all the best’ to her with both his hands raised. She almost wanted to put a hand to her forehead and sigh.
But the place that Baili Jia Jue brought her to was unexpectedly quite good, just by the decoration of the hall, she could have guessed it. Plus the moment they stepped inside, bamboos were swaying and added on to the serene atmosphere.
Helian Wei Wei raised her eyes and saw four golden letters on the horizontal sign: “Fabric of The Royal Family”.
Baili Jia Jue brought her inside. The lady master seemed to know him, and after seeing him, there was a glimmer in her eyes, “Your servant was quite shocked when she was informed by Shadow. I did not think that Master would really come.”
Master, not His Highness?
It seems like this fabric shop is actually owned by Baili Jia Jue.
Helian Wei Wei smiled, no wonder the people of the War Dragon Empire always said that the Third Prince is the best and that his riches beat that of a country.
This fabric shop was more delicate than all others, even the clothes worn by the master was that of fine Hangzhou silk.
It wasn’t as if Helian Wei Wei had been completely living under a rock, so she naturally recognised what good things were.
“This must be the Princess Consort.” The master looked at her for once. Originally she wanted to say something like how she was as pretty as a flower, but after looking at her face, she can only say something else, “Your servant welcomes the Princess Consort.”
Helian Wei Wei waved her hand, “There’s no such need for such formality out here. I want to choose a robe, what do you recommend?”
The master looked at Helian Wei Wei again and said, “The Princess Consort has a very nice figure, there will be nothing that will look unflattering you.”
The master was speaking the truth. Aside from the Princess Consort’s face, her figure was indeed one of the best.
Of course Helian Wei Wei knew about all these. When she first arrived here, she felt that the body’s previous owner must have thought that she was too young to have all these mature features, that’s why she was slightly humpbacked, making her breasts retract instead.
She adjusted it accordingly. Since she’s still a young lady, there’s nothing bad in drinking more milk.
As they were speaking, Baili Jia Jue chose one of the nightgowns. It was made of white silk, and the sleeves were wide wings. It was soft and beautiful, and at the same time it showcased freedom and carried a sense of glamour.
Helian Wei Wei thought that it looked good too, but, “I’m here to get long robes…”
Baili Jia Jue did not say anything and looked at her silently. Those penetrative eyes were glinting with warning.
She almost forgot that she was now someone who did not have good taste. Everything should go according to a certain prince’s choice!
“I’ll go try it.” She quite liked this style, and the robe looked alright, so Helian Wei Wei took the pyjamas, and was led into the shop by the master…
