A wild suitor has appeared!
Later that day I went to a room that has various portraits of myself. Among the other portraits inside the room was of me and my mother out in the gardens late at night.
In the middle of the room laid a neat formation that has four pillars that hold high-graded magical beast cores, this allows the formation to teleport the individual to the destined location. A wave of nausea washed over me, placing my hand over my mouth I stumbled out of the formation and panted.
A maid cleaning up the formation room jumped in fright by my sudden appearance "M-my lady welcome to the seamstress shop" the maid lowered her form in a bow "how're the dresses designs going?" I asked toward the maid who fumbled over her words with a bright red face.
"T-they are going well your highness" she stuttered with a flushed face "Bring me to the wardrobe where the finished product is" order the maid she humbly bowed and took m to the backroom where many different types of victorian styles of dresses and suits.
I even design a few hanfu goth versions, it is a little bit more extreme on what most are used to seeing, they have certain animals embroidery onto them as well as formations around the cuffs of the sleeves.
Overall they look more amazing than I could've hoped for "how many more days do you think we will need till we are ready to start displaying our brand?" the maid lowered her head in thought "I don't have clue your highness maybe we should ask your seamstresses?" the red-faced maid suggested.
"Great idea, go and tell them I am here" feeling ecstatic about my sketches coming to life I walked over to a crate and busted it open, inside the create is fifteen medium-sized iron ores. Picking up one I closed my eyes and let my moon essence flow into the orb inside my mind I picture making a whole snake jewelry set; opening my eyes in my hands were of what I have imagined.
A few pairs of footsteps enter the room, turning my head to see who it is four humbly dressed, seamstress curtsy "Humble servants greet princess Qaihong Gho" the spoke simulationly. A small smile curled up onto my features "sorry for disturbing you from your work, how many more days do you gals need?" asking this question they looked at each other before they dared to reply back.
"Your highness we need one more month to finish the clothing brand you've designed" the old seamstress stated in a cool tone, nodding my head I proceeded with my next question. Holding out my new jewelry to them "Do you have any dresses that will match these?" a mischief glint passed through all of the seamstress's eyes.
Unknown to me, I have just brought hell onto myself that day… Three days later I walked out of the seamstress shop wearing a black and white hanfu and those snake jewelry. I feel nothing but pain, every step sent niddle like shot up my legs.
The common folk and noblewomen alike stopped in their tracks casting looks my way and whispering to their friends or servants. Despite feeling my whole body weathering in pure agony I kept on walking through the town to help promote my brand.
Looking through other shops windows I just hummed thoughtlessly and continued on my 'adventure' while I put my full attention on the food products to take home with me earlier a husky male voice called me from behind.
Pushing a strand of my hair behind my ear I turn to look to see who it was that was calling my name, a grayed-robed teenage boy with black hair that shines under the sunlight caught my attention.
"Yang Zhenfen is that you?" calling out the merchant son he walked over "I didn't expect your highness To hear me" he stated with an aloof expression, smiling innocently at him I grab a hold onto his arm.
His whole body stiffens up like a log "Yang Zhenfen how about we have our date today while I am inside the city?" I suggested in a sweet tone, he looked deeply into my eyes as if he was trying to find something within them.
Gazing back into his black eyes with a hint of green I swear I saw the abyss looking back at me "It would be my pleasure your highness" he stated after his prolonged silence. Before he swept me away I bought bulks of vegetables and rice praying that this would hopefully keep my people fed this winter.
He took me to a restaurant nearby where a scholarly young man greeted us and brought us up to the second floor where an elderly man greets us. Once we were seated I took the look at the menu and frowned deeply 'how come everything on here is seafood?' placing the menu down I looked towards my date who whisper into the elderly man's ear.
"What are you ordering miss?" the elderly gentleman asked "I'll have the deep-fried fish special" I replied with a thin smile. He lowered his head in a bow and head out of the room "your highness what's something about you that we common folk don't know?" he got straight down to the questioning.
Raising an eyebrow at him I sighed "I hate seafood but I am willing to try the ones I haven't eaten before" replying with this answer his eyes widen slightly before going back to that sharp seductive look he usually had.
"Next time I'll bring you to a different place" he stated in a flat tone, after our 'meal' we left the restaurant and headed back out to the market to go window shopping or shopping. A rock seller who sat on a blanket with rocks of various sizes caught my attention.
Enhancing my vision various letters appeared above them "moonstone, sapphire, ruby, diamonds and gold" I turn my attention towards the seller and asked "good sir how much are you selling these rocks for?" the young man blinked at me stupidly.
"Two copper a rock and 3 copper for cutting the rock" he stated simply, a hum of amusement made me remember I wasn't alone. Looking back at my suitor "you don't mind if I do a bit of a gamble right?" I asked making sure he was alright with me doing this.
He nodded his head without another word and let me do my thing, I picked out almost every rock and paid him for his services, resulting in me getting four pieces of gold, six sapphires, and three pink diamonds.
Putting my stuff away my date patiently brought me to our next destination "I thought that your highness would like to look at jewelry like other noble girls do" he commented, a sheepish smile made its way onto my face.
I subconsciously touched my masked eyes feeling a bit flustered at being called out "I am not like those nobles women. I have my lands to take into consideration" I stated with a light pout, facing my head away from him.
I ran off once more to another vendor that has herbs that would consider "useless" but Angel has told me about these herbs before its an important ingredient that I will need for when I go to get my pet.
They look like normal daisies but the key difference is the silver lining on the stem of the flower and unlike daisies, these flowers have thorns like roses. Giddy I asked "Sir can I buy all of these?" I asked the vendor, his lips twitched for a moment "Young miss these flowers are worth ten silvers" he stated, a frown appeared on my beautiful features.
"Bailing can you not lie in front of me to someone I know?" Yang Zhenfen's voice turned ten degrees colder than it was when he spoke with me. The vendor known as Bailing grimace "young monster, Yang. I didn't realize you were here" Bailing stated in a rush.
Yang Zhenfen scoffed "I'll give you 30 copper coins for the flowers" Zhengfen stated the price he is willing to pay, Bailing looked baffled "that's daylight robbery!" Bailing retorted. Yang Zhenfen scoffed again "fine have it your way, I'll pay 40 copper coins for these flowers" he place his two palms onto the vendor's table with a scowl on his handsome features.
Bailing wrapped up the moon daisies into a nice moon daisy bouquet and passed them to me, Yang Zhenfen paid for them and walked back to me linking his arm into mine so he won't lose me again.
After that, he walked me to my seamstress shop "I hope you enjoy our date, your highness, later I'll have a gift sent over here" Yang Zhenfen bowed before leaving as quickly as he came. With high spirits, I entered my shop and bid everyone goodbye to head back into the teleportation formation.
