Chapter 98 Participate in the Competition

Chushi Weiming felt angry as Grand Mentor Liu let a servant take the gift, and asked him to put it in the warehouse. Grand Mentor Liu dared to humiliate him in front of servants!

Imperial concubine Xiao was also unhappy!

Upon seeing this, Mrs. Liu walked to Chushi Weiming and said, "Give it to me!"

She took the gift from Chushi Weiming.

Imperial concubine Xiao looked less severe, and she said with a smile, "Mr. Liu, I came here today for these two children. You see..."

"Huh, I think the Third Prince discussed with you already. That's impossible!" Grand Mentor Liu turned around and said coldly. He was very dissatisfied with the Third Prince's behavior just now.

After listening to this, imperial concubine Xiao said, "Yiyi is a good girl. I like her very much. We will do as you said, but..."

"What?" Grand Mentor Liu asked coldly.

Imperial concubine Xiao looked at people standing in the room. Grand Mentor Liu understood her implication and said to others, "You all go out first!"

"My Lord..." Mrs. Liu said, holding Mr. Liu's hand with worry.

Mr. Liu patted her hand gently, beckoning her to rest assured.

After others left, Grand Mentor Liu sat down and said, "Go ahead!"

"You know that His Majesty has recently investigated whether officials are forming cliques. If they get married now, His Majesty will doubt our purpose and investigate in secret!" imperial concubine Xiao expressed her concerns.

After hearing this, Grand Mentor Liu frowned slightly and asked, "Then what's your plan next?"

"Yiyi will be his legal wife. After His Majesty removes his doubts, I will ask for his permission for their marriage. What do you think?" imperial concubine Xiao said and looked at Grand Mentor Liu.

Grand Mentor Liu thought for a moment and felt what she said was reasonable. He said, "Give me an exact time!"

"You can be assured. I will ask for His Majesty's permission as soon as the investigation is over!" Imperial concubine Xiao said hurriedly.

Grand Mentor Liu sighed. He had to accept the idea, so he said, "Then we will do as you said!"

"I knew you're a considerate person." Seeing Mrs. Liu agreed, imperial concubine Xiao said with a smile.

Grand Mentor Liu ignored her flatter and reminded, "I hope you remember what you said today."

The case was settled.

...

As Yang Zijin had expected, Honored Consort Li went to Woman Flower within a few days.

Baihe saw that a lady came in with maids following her. The lady was elegant and graceful in a gorgeous dress. Baihe greeted and asked, "Madam, this way, please."

"Mind your behavior! This is Honored Consort Li. Take your products here!" A maid behind Honored Consort Li said loudly.

Hearing this, Baihe was stunned. The woman standing in front of her was Honored Consort Li! She knelt quickly, "Your Highness, please forgive me. I didn't know it's you. Please forgive me!"

Other people in the shop were also surprised! They didn't expect that Honored Consort Li would come to this small shop. They all kept silent.

Honored Consort Li said to the maid, "Xinyi, step back!"

"Yes, Your Highness." Xinyi lowered her head and stepped behind Honored Consort Li.

Honored Consort Li then smiled and said to Baihe, who was kneeling on the ground, "Get up. You don't need to be so reserved. I don't want to disturb you."

Although she said that, no one dared to ignore her!

"Are there Sleeping Beauty masks for sale?" Honored Consort Li asked Baihe.

At this time, Xian, who finished his work, heard the sounds outside and walked out of the shop. He asked Wen Lan, "Who is this person?"

"It's Honored Consort Li. His Majesty loved her the most. She came here to buy Sleeping Beauty masks." Wen Lan whispered.

After hearing this, Xian frowned. How could Honored Consort Li know that there were masks for sale here? Could it be the infanta?

Thinking of this, Xian stepped forward and said, "I don't know Your Highness is arriving here. Please forgive us for the slight. Baihe, go and bring samples of each series of Sleeping Beauty masks here!"

Baihe hurried to the shelf, and Wen Lan stepped forward to help!

"Your Highness, there are many noises here. Please move to the inside." Xian said with a gesture of invitation.

Honored Consort Li felt that Xian was a considerate person! She nodded and entered the shop.

Baihe put the Sleeping Beauty masks on a plate and entered the room. Wen Lan put them all in front of Honored Consort Li.

Honored Consort Li took a closer look at the functions of these masks and thought for a moment. Then she said, "These two."

She showed them to Wen Lan.

Xian quickly said, "Go and prepare similar masks!"

After listening to this, Wen Lan went out and packed a few boxes of the Sleeping Beauty masks selected by Honored Consort Li and handed them to Xinyi.

When Yang Zijin arrived at the market, she heard that Honored Consort Li went to Woman Flower to buy products.

After listening, Yang Zijin grinned. She didn't expect that Honored Consort Li would be so quick. It seemed that it happened just now, so she walked faster towards Woman Flower, lest the girls felt scared!

Entering the shop, Yang Zijin asked Zhou Ji, who was sitting beside the door to see a patient, "Has Honored Consort Li gone?"

"Your Highness, she is in the shop." Zhou Ji got up and pointed to the room inside.

Yang Zijin walked into the room.

"Your Highness, we are greatly honored by your gracious presence. Please forgive us for the slight."

Seeing Yang Zijin coming in, Honored Consort Li said, "Not at all. These people are very thoughtful."

"If Your Highness needs anything in the future, just let the maid come over and let me know. I will send the products to the palace for you!" Yang Zijin saw what the maid holding in her hand behind Honored Consort Li and said.

Honored Consort Li smiled and said, "Then I will count on you!"

"It's my pleasure." Yang Zijin said with a smile.

Honored Consort Li said, "I have been out of the palace for a long time. It's time to go back now. If you are free, remember to visit Empress Dowager. I heard her talking about you last time!"

"Then please send a message to my grandmother and tell her that I will visit her after I finish my work!" Hearing what Honored Consort Li said, Yang Zijin realized that she hasn't gone to the palace for a long time.

Honored Consort Li smiled and nodded. Then she called Xinyi.

Xinyi quickly took out the money and put it on the table.

Yang Zijin didn't say anything after seeing that. The masks she gave to Honored Consort Li last time were made of Saussurea, which was extremely expensive. This time she took many boxes of the masks. People used masks frequently, and masks were expensive. If she didn't receive the money this time, it would be even harder to ask for money in the future. She was not willing to lose money!

Honored Consort Li stood up, "Then I'm leaving now."

"Please take care." People in the room all walked out. After Honored Consort Li walked out of the shop, they were relieved.

"Your Highness, why did Honored Consort Li come suddenly?" Wen Lan asked.

Baihe patted her chest and said, "I was scared to death."

Yang Zijin smiled and said, "Perhaps someone in the palace heard our shop and told it to her."

Wen Lan and Baihe nodded with doubts.

The fact that Honored Consort Li came to buy masks in Woman Flower widely spread. Every day, many women come to buy masks, and of course, some come to buy clothes.

Soon Woman Flower became famous in the city!

Yang Zijin had to ask Xian to find some people to crush medicinal herbs. Some medicinal herbs were bought from out of the city!

Seeing that everything was going on in an orderly manner, Yang Zijin took a deep breath.

In the backyard of Blossoming Peach, Yang Zijin tasted tea leisurely. It suddenly hit her that she hasn't been to her elder brother's martial club for a long time. She wondered what her elder brother was doing.

So, she got up and wanted to have a look.

As the martial club was not far from Blossoming Peach, Yang Zijin went there on foot.

Outside the martial club, she heard sounds from the inside.

As soon as she entered the hall, she heard her elder brother's voice.

"Keep your back straight and lift it upper. Right."

"You, be faster!"

Yang Zijin walked quickly to Pei Moning, "Brother."

Pei Moning saw Yang Zijin and turned to these disciples, "It's time for free practice."

Then he came to Yang Zijin, "Oh! You're free now. I thought you have forgotten me!"

"How could it be? I've just been a little busy in recent days. Now I'm free, so I come over immediately!" Yang Zijin said.

Listening to that, Pei Moning gently patted Yang Zijin's head. He said, "You always have your reasons! Let's go to the backyard."

"Brother, why are you let them train so urgently!" Yang Zijin asked.

Pei Moning said as he walked forward, "The largest martial club, Weizhen Martial Club, will hold a competition between various martial clubs. The top three will have the opportunity to get a book. The book is a record of a quick way of refining their skills. Disciples in Weizhen Martial Club are more skillful than disciples in other martial clubs for the book."

"Then why is Weizhen Martial Club willing to take it as a reward for the competition?" Yang Zijin asked.

Pei Moning smiled, "We also thought of the reason. Maybe they think that they won't lose, and this book won't be left out!"

"Since everyone knows that the disciples in Weizhen Martial Club are much stronger, then why do they still want to participate in the competition?" Yang Zijin frowned and continued to ask.

After hearing this, Pei Moning explained, "You know, people like to gamble. Every curator wants to try. Accidents may happen. If you win, Weizhen Martial Club will offer the book according to the agreement. If you lose, it doesn't matter. You can still learn something from each other!"
