Chapter 209: Noble Lady Yao's Promotion
"Of course I made the money from selling things. You don't think I was robbing people, do you?"
Tang Xijing: "...I think you look like this kind of person."
Tang Xici was too embarrassed to say it out loud, and rubbed the tip of his nose: "Lolo, I have always believed in you."
Everyone: “…” So fake.
Tang Xiluo: “…” Her stern and serious elder brother has also changed.
-
About ten days passed, and Tang Xiluo had been busy opening a store. She did not buy land, but rented a store so that she could open it quickly.
Today she finally had a rare break. The little girl lay on the chaise longue, happily reading the storybook.
"Princess, there is news from the palace that Concubine Yao has been promoted to Concubine Yao."
Tang Xiluo was silent for two seconds, then nodded, "Got it, you can step back."
At this moment, all the concubines in the harem were shocked. She was actually promoted!
Concubine Zhao gnashed her teeth, "It actually works? Could it really be magic water? What tricks do these two sisters have?"
As soon as Concubine Yao was promoted, she came to see Tang Xirou happily.
"Greetings to Sister Shi Fei."
"Get up."
Tang Xirou looked at her with some surprise. If her sister had not entered the palace, she would not have come to her place.
Why did you come here alone today for the first time?
"Congratulations, Sister Yao Jieyu."
Yao Jieyu smiled charmingly, "This is all thanks to the magic water sold by Princess Chen."
It was indeed good to be promoted by the emperor. She might as well be happy that she had really become whiter and more beautiful. She now looked in the mirror more often every day.
"You're welcome. You paid a lot of money for it."
Yao Jieyu's face was full of gratitude, and her eyes were full of admiration when she looked at Tang Xirou.
She did not think of keeping such a good thing for herself, but allowed it to be sold. Empress Shi Fei was very broad-minded.
"Of course I have to thank you, Sister Shi Fei. If you hadn't told me this news, I might not have known it."
Tang Xirou covered her mouth and smiled, "You're welcome, sister."
Concubine Yao waved her hand and the maid brought in two small boxes.
"To express my gratitude, here are two bracelets, one for you, my sister, and one for Princess Chen. I hope you two don't mind."
Tang Xirou was stunned, then quickly shook her head, "No, no, sister Yao Jieyu, what are you doing? You bought the magic water with your own money, you don't need to thank us..."
Instead, she and her sister were the ones who tricked them, and she felt a little guilty about it. Fortunately, her sister's magic water really worked, so she didn't feel particularly guilty.
Yao Jieyu pouted and said coquettishly, "Sister, please accept it. I thank you from the bottom of my heart."
Tang Xirou had no choice but to nod and say, "Thank you, sister."
Yao Jieyu blinked, then leaned in closer and whispered, "When can Princess Chen buy another bottle?"
She felt that she needed to use it all over her body, and just using it on her face was not enough, but she only had one bottle now, and she was reluctant to use it all over her body.
Tang Xirou: “…” She knew that she couldn’t just be thanking her.
"Ahem, Princess Chen didn't tell me... It depends on luck in this kind of thing."
Yao Jieyu felt a little disappointed, but she soon cheered up.
"If there is such a good thing next time, you must tell me, sister."
Tang Xirou nodded, "Okay, okay, I will definitely tell you next time."
After getting the accurate answer, Concubine Yao turned around and returned to her palace with satisfaction.
Tang Xirou finally breathed a sigh of relief. This Concubine Yao was really too difficult to deal with.
Just when she was about to rest for a while, another concubine came to report at the door.
Afterwards, a large number of people came one after another. As expected, they all came to inquire about the magic water. Some also came to see the effects. After all, they had been using it for so long, and they were curious and wanted to see whether it was real or not.
"Greetings to Sister Shi Fei."
"Everyone, get up. Why are all the sisters here?"
Everyone looked at each other, but when they looked up and saw Tang Xirou, they were all stunned. She was so beautiful! She had really changed so much! It was really so magical. It had only been a few days?! Such a big change had happened. If she could continue to use it like this...
"Sister Shi Fei, we sisters all want to ask, when will Princess Chen be able to sell another bottle of magic water?"
"Yes, yes, good things should be shared by everyone. We will pay a higher price for it."
Tang Xirou twitched her lips. Just as she had imagined, they all came to inquire about the magic water.
"Princess Chen didn't tell me when it would be available again. This kind of precious thing is hard to come by, as rare and precious as a priceless treasure. It's not something you can just get if you want it..."
Everyone felt lost unconsciously. It was gone?
They all began to regret that they should have bought the magic water no matter what.
Now, they are willing to buy but don’t have it anymore.
At that time, a bottle of magic water cost twelve boxes of gold, silver and jewelry. They could still afford it if they gritted their teeth. They were all from families of high-ranking officials for generations, so they could afford to spend some money, but they couldn't make it too obvious.
If they had known that it really had such great effects, they would have bought it even if it was fifteen boxes!
Tang Xirou couldn't say anything final, after all, her sister had other plans for the future.
"But that doesn't mean there are no more. Mine is the first bottle, and Yao Jieyu bought the second bottle. If there is one, there will be two, maybe there will be three."
When the concubines heard this, they immediately saw hope again.
"Great."
"Sister Shi Fei, please don't forget to remind us when the time comes."
"Yes, yes, be sure to remind us."
In fact, everyone wanted Tang Xirou to remind them privately, but there were too many people here and they were too embarrassed to speak up.
Tang Xirou nodded, "But this thing is hard to come by. I'm afraid I'll have to pay a higher price next time. After all, this kind of thing is limited..."
"what?!"
"Is this stuff limited? Find the materials and make another bottle!"
Tang Xirou shook her head in an unfathomable manner, "My second sister heard from the medicine seller that this medicine requires a special material, but there is very little of it left..."
The concubines were all worried, because they knew that the later they went, the less chance they would have to buy the magic water.
If there is another chance, they must seize this opportunity! Who knows which bottle is the last one?
Some of them have already started to regret that they should have competed with Concubine Yao again at that time. Maybe they would be the ones who were promoted now.
