...... under General Chu What does that mean?

Mu Qing's eyes changed slightly, Chu Xuanling would actually use this excuse to protect her, but he didn't mean to return the jade pendant at all, what the hell was going on?

She wanted to ask the adjutant about the jade pendant, but she was worried that the matter would get out, so she nodded and didn't say anything.

"I don't know what it means...... Since you know I'm here, why don't you give me back that jade pendant, it's hard to ......"

On the other hand, he thought that his young lady had misunderstood what Chu Xuanling meant, so he was a little apprehensive in his heart, and hurriedly opened his mouth to persuade him.

"Miss, it must be that the general is worried that too many people will know about this matter, so it is difficult to find someone to send it over, but you are in the prince's mansion, and it is not good for him to come over directly, so it is delayed, have you forgotten, the general has always been cold to you."

Xin'er's words were actually for Mu Qing's good, so she didn't care much about it, just smiled and nodded.

Then she looked around the shop, and saw that there was nothing wrong, and just as she was about to leave, she heard a sound of swaggering outside.

"Hey, that's what you two are doing here? Give me all your best hairpins, which are to be bought for our young lady. ”

Mu Qing was right behind with his heart, and the people outside couldn't see inside.

I saw the loud maid standing there, waiting for the two maids in the shop to bring her hairpins and other things.

The maid sisters in the store, one named Cuicui and the other named Ling'er, both of them were very dissatisfied, but they couldn't disobey this customer, so they had to look at each other and send the hairpin over.

"What are these things, our young lady saw that your shop's business was very good, so she said she wanted to come, but you look down on our young lady, and you actually fooled us with these goods that can't be put on the table!"

The maid's words obviously angered the quick-tempered Cuicui, and she went up to reason with someone, when an elegant and beautiful voice came from outside.

"You don't have to argue with people, forget how they taught you in the first place?"

This voice made Mu Qing feel very familiar, and after looking at it, he saw the person clearly.

It turned out to be Shen Shuang'er, she was afraid that she didn't come here to buy things in person, she must have heard that the owner of this shop was Mu Qing, so she deliberately came to find fault.

"Originally, this was not the jewelry for us noble girls, but I heard that the sister-in-law in the family has often mentioned it recently, so let's see what kind of shop it is, I didn't expect it, just pick one and go back to Chunxue."

The maid named Chunxue smiled and snorted disdainfully at Cuicui and Ling'er.

"Heh, it's just worthless stuff, that's it!"

After saying that, she casually picked up a hairpin, dropped the broken silver on the table, and then turned to leave.

Seeing this, Mu Qing evoked a sneer, and he didn't plan to hide it anymore, so he stepped out, and a light smile instantly appeared on his face.

Cuicui and Ling'er were overjoyed when they saw their master come out, and then leaned over to salute.

"Three Imperial Concubines!"

Shen Shuang'er over there just wanted to buy a hairpin to go back, as a capital to laugh at Mu Qing in the future, but she didn't expect Mu Qing to be in the store, because she had always pretended to be gentle outside, so she also politely saluted Mu Qing.

"I've seen the Three Imperial Concubines, how could the Three Imperial Concubines be here."

"Hmph, I asked knowingly."

Xin'er whispered, but was stopped by Mu Qing's eyes.

"Naturally, it's because this shop is mine, and for so many days, the news in the capital has spread all over the city, doesn't Miss Shen know about this matter?"

Do you know that this matter is naturally not Mu Qing's final say, but in the past few days, it has been rumored all over the capital that this shop is the shop of the third imperial concubine, could it be that Shen Shuang'er doesn't know?

Mu Qing has always looked down on this kind of person, if he dislikes her, it is better to target her happily, so that he can be more comfortable, make small movements behind his back, and then pretend to be very innocent, and be a little white lotus.

"The Third Imperial Concubine has wronged me, I really don't know about this matter, but I don't know why the Third Imperial Concubine does this kind of business? If I'm not mistaken, the material used for this hairpin is not the best, and we noble ladies will not wear it, I look at the color of the hairpin you wear on weekdays, the third princess......"

Shen Shuang'er looked at the hairpin on Mu Qing's head with an inquiring gaze, and the ladies and ladies who came and went around had already noticed the movement here, and they all gathered around, watching the excitement around.

"What is this, why is there a stir in the store, I remember that this shop was opened by the third imperial concubine, and someone actually made trouble?"

"Originally, I didn't believe it, how could the ladies and ladies of those big families open this kind of shop, but I didn't expect the young lady of the Shen family to say that these three imperial concubines are wearing those hairpins with poor color."

"Yes, I heard that the third imperial concubine Niangniang's background is not good, she is just the second daughter of a fourth-grade official family, and it stands to reason that she can't marry the third prince's ......"

The people around talked a lot, obviously being led astray by Shen Shuang'er, and they all thought that the hairpin on Mu Qing's head was of poor color, and even began to question the origin of the third imperial concubine.

"How can you say such things at will, the jewelry our mother wears is a fine hairpin, you ......"

Xin'er saw that her mother was misunderstood, so she hurriedly stepped forward to theorize.

"Heart, don't be rude!"

Mu Qing pulled Xin'er, she knew that Xin'er was a warm-hearted maid and was very loyal to herself.

But this Shen Shuang'er is very scheming, she said this not just to make people think that the hairpin on Mu Qing's head is fake.

If Mu Qing defended himself, these people would doubt their purpose in opening this shop.

An imperial concubine with a hairpin on her head that can be worth dozens of taels or a hundred taels of silver would actually open this small shop with a hairpin of only one or two silver?

"Miss Shen has a strict family education and doesn't go out often, so she naturally doesn't know, but she can't underestimate these things."

With that, she took a very intricately carved golden hairpin on the table and placed it in front of her.

"For example, this hairpin, if it is carved with pure gold, the silver bird here is not easy to put in, only with silver to carve, and then the rest of the part is plated with gold, this will look good, in other words, my shop is just a good look, with those expensive materials is really not necessary."

Mu Qing said that the head was the Tao, and he had words, not like casual nonsense at all, at least Shen Shuang'er couldn't think of anything to refute, and Mu Qing also moved the emperor out.

She put down the hairpin in her hand, her posture was calm, and she looked a little bit of everyone's demeanor.

"And Miss Shen, the saint has been advocating to be frugal in the past few years, and I opened this shop just to follow the will of the saint.

Mu Qing's words threw the spearhead on Shen Shuang'er's body again, she said that this hairpin is something that can't be put on the table, even if it hits the face of the person who bought these hairpins, it can be regarded as offending people.

"You...... I didn't say that, the third imperial concubine, it's just that wearing such a hairpin to meet guests is not suitable for my Shen family's identity, so I just said so, if there is any offense, please understand. ”

Shen Shuang'er opened her mouth to defend a few words, and when she saw that there were more and more people talking around her, she said sorry and left the shop.

In the current form, if you continue to entangle, you must be the one who suffers.

"She's finally gone, miss, why does Miss Shen always target you so much, we haven't provoked Miss Shen."

Looking at Shen Shuang'er's back, her heart showed a trace of doubt.

"You're still young, so naturally you can't see it." Mu Qing's original age was not much different from Xin'er, but it was not against the peace to say such things in front of Xin'er.

"You should know that this young lady of the Shen family has been a childhood sweetheart with the three princes since she was a child, and everyone knows what kind of thoughts she has about the three princes."

"But Miss, the third prince's current concubine is you, no matter how much this Miss Shen likes the third prince, can she still marry and become a side concubine?"

Mu Qing's identity is definitely not as good as Shen Shuang'er, so it is impossible to marry Shen Shuang'er to the third prince as a side concubine.

"The slave maid has always wondered why Miss Shen didn't ask the saint for marriage in the first place."

Mu Qing didn't say it, but the reality is clear.

Before the three princes could be said to be terminally ill and there was no cure, no matter how much Shen Shuang'er liked the three princes, he would not bet on the happiness of his life.

That's why there is a saying that he married the third prince Chongxi.

But Shen Shuang'er didn't expect that Bailichen was really getting better day by day, so he started thinking again.

It is because of this that Mu Qing can't look down on Shen Shuang'er, otherwise she would still be willing to give way to her lover.

Because, her purpose is only money, she just wants to be an emotionless rich woman.

"Alright, the farce is over, now let's go back."

Mu Qing couldn't come out and show his face for too long, so as not to continue to be criticized, so after Shen Shuang'er left, he pulled Xin'er and went back.

This farce also spread among the people of the capital, and even reached the ears of the emperor.

He did advocate that the royal family should be frugal a few days ago, but he didn't expect this Shen Shuang'er to say this kind of remarks on the street, and it was even regarded as a joke by the people after dinner.

For this matter, the emperor also beat Prime Minister Shen Cheng hard.

"The next time you talk outside, you have to pay attention, my father was almost reprimanded by the saint in the court today, but fortunately, the saint was afraid of my face, so I was left to talk alone, otherwise in the future, among the civil and military officials, how can my Shen family be able to hold up their heads."

After Prime Minister Shen Cheng went home, he called Shen Shuang'er out, obviously a little annoyed.

"What are you doing to reprimand Shuang'er, it's not all the lowly Third Imperial Concubine, if it weren't for the Qin Tianjian astrology saying that it was the lucky star of the Three Princes, the Three Princes would definitely marry our Shuang'er, how could you get that little slut's turn."

Mrs. Shen protected her daughter and was very dissatisfied with Prime Minister Shen's words.

Shen Shuang'er behind her only didn't speak, but the expression on her face didn't look good.

Mu Qing in the past, wasn't that like this......
