Nan Yan had a rule that women were not allowed to show their faces. When they went out, they had to cover their face with a veil, revealing only their eyes.
Although Shangguan Wan didn't really like him, she had no choice but to follow the customs of the country. Coupled with her face which had become red and swollen due to the allergy symptoms these days, this custom gave her the convenience to cover her blemishes.
The trip was quicker than he expected, so Nangong Yu didn't rush to bring her into the palace. The group stayed at an inn in the Southern Yan City.
It seemed that girls all liked to shop, and foxes were no exception.
Unfortunately, although his man was the ruler of a country, he didn't bring much money with him on this trip. The journey was made with the help of local government officials.
In the end, Nangong Yu was still a pauper.
At this time, they should have entered the palace and sought the 'protection' of their father-in-law, the Emperor of South Yan. But Nangong Yu gave them a very good reason: ”In order to not expose any flaws, you have to thoroughly understand the information regarding South Yan in the next few days.”
Shangguan Wan expressed her certainty. As the princess of Nanyan, she couldn't possibly know nothing about her home country. It wasn't appropriate to ask Rui Xiang about this sort of thing.
There was still a man who wanted to please a beautiful woman. This time, Nangong Yu was very generous.
”This jade pendant can sell for at least a thousand silver taels.”
A certain woman accepted it with a smile and rushed into the pawnshop without a word of thanks.
Nangong Yu could only sigh with emotion, ”Only women and villains are hard to raise.”
Lin Lin wanted to say something, but she decided to keep her mouth shut. The late emperor had bestowed this jade pendant to her, so giving it to the empress was truly a pity.
It was a pity, but the most important thing was that one was willing to fight while the other was willing to accept it. It was a perfect match.
In a moment, Shangguan Wan came out of the pawnshop. She was overjoyed, holding a stack of banknotes in her hand, and laughed boldly, ”Guess how much I sold it for? Three thousand taels! Go! I'll treat you guys to something nice to eat! ”
She had never felt bad for spending the emperor's money, so she treated it as a salary for being the empress.
A word quickly flashed through Nangong Yu's mind — Wasteland wench.
Unsurprisingly, the four of them arrived at the restaurant where the South Yan business was flourishing.
The reason why this restaurant's business was so good was because its owner, when talking about boss, had to mention a legendary figure in the imperial court — the King Rui.
King Rui was the younger brother of the Emperor. For many years, he had been loyal and patriotic. Everyone knew this.
The owner of this Consonance Pavilion was none other than the son of King Rui, Mingjin.
The people in charge of the restaurant were all top chefs, and the system of paying the bills was also very unique.
