Long Live the Empress

Chapter 174: The Royal Palace

In a prosperous area of ​​the capital, a spice shop called Yuningxiang opened.

On that day, all the royal nobles in the capital came to congratulate and show their support, and the gift boxes they presented were piled high.

Those young ladies from aristocratic families also came here because of its reputation. They all knew that the owner of this shop was Rong Cheng, the golden bachelor of the capital, so they dressed up beautifully and followed their fathers to the shop to buy things.

As the boss, Rong Cheng is extremely busy. Not only does he have to greet people who come to give gifts, but he also has to receive customers who come to the store to consume. Rong Cheng is exhausted at the end of the day.

The shopkeeper's name was Luo Cai, and just as his name suggested, he was a shrewd, capable, and money-making middle-aged man. When Luo Cai put the account book for the day in front of Rong Cheng, Rong Cheng's fatigue was swept away.

On this day alone, Yu Ningxiang's profit reached 20,000 taels!

Rong Cheng returned to Prince Rong's Mansion excitedly and told Prince Rong and the Princess about his spice shop.

Prince Rong and the princess pretended to know nothing and praised Rong Cheng highly.

When the family was having dinner, Rong Cheng suddenly thought that he should tell Yue Jinghao about this to make her happy too! So he sent a servant to bring the good news to Yue Jinghao.

Prince Rong and Princess looked at each other and finally understood why Rong Cheng's temperament had changed so drastically...

After Rong Cheng left, Princess Rong said worriedly, "The eldest daughter of the Yue family was once divorced by the crown prince. How could our Cheng'er fall in love with a woman like that? A while ago, people were saying that the eldest daughter of the Yue family stayed out all night and met with men in private... How could a woman like that enter our palace?"

Prince Rong, however, looked indifferent, "I think that what you hear is not as good as what you see! Why don't we take a good look at Yue Jinghao on the day of the winter banquet, and then make plans!"

"No! I can't wait until that time! I will send out an invitation tomorrow, inviting Yue Jing to come over for a chat!" After Princess Rong wrote the invitation herself, she went to rest with peace of mind.

The next day

The women of the Yue Mansion were paying their respects to the old lady when they saw a servant coming in with an invitation.

"Madam, the Rong Palace has sent an invitation to the eldest lady!"

The old lady's originally impatient face suddenly brightened up. She took the gold-embossed invitation and signaled Aunt Zhang to give the visitor some silver.

"Jing'er, take a look!"

Yue Jinghao stood up and took the invitation. When she opened it, she saw that it was Princess Rong who invited her...

Yue Jinghong's eyes were filled with sourness. "It's so early in the morning, and Prince Rong's Mansion has sent out an invitation. Big sister is really proud!"

"Jinghong!" The old lady called Yue Jinghong's name, and Yue Jinghong wiped the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief and stopped talking.

"Jing'er, since Princess Rong has invited you, you should go back and prepare quickly! Don't be impolite!" The old lady said this in order for Yue Jing to behave well in front of Princess Rong and not ruin the reputation of the Yue family because of those rumors.

How could Yue Jinghao not understand the meaning of the old lady's words? So she stood up, bowed and left.

Yue Yuyan felt indescribable jealousy when she saw Yue Jinghao holding the golden invitation.

Although Rong Cheng is not a prince, he is the first person after the prince! Moreover, Rong Cheng is the only male in the Rong Palace. Whoever marries into the Rong Palace will be the one in power!

Why do others have such a good life, but I can only live such a humble life...

Four princes!

Thinking of Wei Zilin, Yue Yuyan seemed to have found a life-saving straw. No matter how good Rong Cheng was or how noble his status was, he still had to pay respects to the prince, right? She had to recover quickly and find a reason to ask the fourth prince out...
