I am a prince in Zhutian Films

Chapter 64 Encounter while shopping
"Third brother."

Li Chengzong was standing at the gate of the palace. From a distance he saw his younger brother Li Chengping stretching his neck and waving at him.

Then Li Chengping shrank his head into the carriage, and after a moment, he jumped out of the carriage and ran directly towards the palace.

Looking at the younger brother who was running closer, Li Chengzong joked, "You didn't sneak out today, did you?"

"certainly not."

"How's your martial arts training going lately?"

A few days ago, Li Chengping sneaked out of the palace again and was caught by him. Seeing that he was too energetic, Li Chengzong gave his self-created martial arts to his younger brother and also told Concubine Liu about it.

As for whether Li Chengping would practice or not, and whether Concubine Liu would take it seriously, Li Chengzong never paid attention to it afterwards. However, judging from the little brother's current expression, Concubine Liu should take it very seriously.

"Third brother, you have caused me so much trouble. Now, in addition to studying, I also have to practice martial arts. I can't wake up every day. You have to compensate me."

It was just a joke, but Concubine Liu got off the carriage and heard it, and hit her son on the head.

"The ninth-grade technique is something that money can't buy. How dare you blame your third brother? Are you looking for trouble again?"

Li Chengping shrank his neck and dared not speak.

After teaching her son a lesson, Concubine Liu said a little embarrassedly: "Zong'er, your martial arts book, I..."

Li Chengzong interrupted, "It's okay, it's just a set of exercises, the Liu family can also practice it."

Since Concubine Liu knew that it was a ninth-grade martial art, she must have had someone see it, and the person she could find was naturally a member of the Liu family.

"Thank you, Zong'er. Aunt Liu won't be polite to you. If you have anything to do in the future, just tell this kid."

Saying that he had instructed Li Chengping was actually equivalent to saying that he could contact the Liu family if he had any problems.

Li Chengzong understood what Concubine Liu meant, but with his status, he couldn't even use his uncle's family, so how could he possibly trouble the Liu family?

"Xiao Si is my biological brother. Aunt Liu, you are being too polite."

After some polite exchanges, Concubine Liu and her son entered the palace with Li Chengzong.

Before I even entered the hall of the palace, I heard laughter coming from inside. It was obvious that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law got along well.

Seeing Li Chengzong leading Concubine Liu and her son into the house, Si Lili, whose face still had traces of tears, immediately stood up and saluted, saying, "Greetings, Concubine Liu."

Looking at Si Lili, the smiling Concubine Liu froze her smile instantly. She turned to look at Qin Yu and asked in surprise: "She...she...is she Sister Xu's daughter?"

They were all daughters of famous families in Kyoto back then, and the Liu and Xu families were very close. If Si Lili's father hadn't intervened, the eldest daughter of the Xu family would have married the eldest son of the Liu family.

Qin Yu was not surprised that Concubine Liu recognized Si Lili. He nodded and said nothing.

Concubine Liu stared at Si Lili in a daze for a while before turning to look at Li Chengzong and asked, "Zong'er, does His Majesty know about this?"

"The old man knows."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Concubine Liu patted her chest in fear, walked quickly to Si Lili, and took her hand, her hands shaking with excitement.

"It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive. If you encounter difficulties in the future, go to the Liu family, understand?"

Looking at his mother's expression, Li Chengping rolled his eyes and reminded her, "Mom, Third Sister-in-law is taken care of by Third Brother, so you should just forget about it, Liu Family."

"That's true."

Concubine Liu was stunned for a moment, then she remembered that Si Lili was taken care of by Li Chengzong, so she really didn't need the Liu family. Then she thought of her son's words, and slapped him directly, saying angrily: "What do you mean by your Liu family? You have half of the Liu family's blood in you."

Li Chengping: "..."

He really couldn't refute this, nor did he dare to refute it, otherwise he would get beaten.

"You, don't always tie."

Hearing this, Li Chengping immediately smiled and said, "Aunt Qin is still the best. Aunt Qin, when are we leaving?"

"Go? Where to?" Li Chengzong asked.

"Let's go shopping in Kyoto. Aunt Qin is here today to take my third sister-in-law to Kyoto to shop."

It turned out that Qin Yu had previously discussed with Concubine Liu and the others about what gift to give. The three card-playing friends all put forward many suggestions, but in the end Concubine Shu said that the things we talked about might not be liked by young girls.

Therefore, Qin Yu finally decided to let Si Lili make the choice herself. She also took the opportunity to visit Kyoto, which she had not visited for many years. She then invited Concubine Liu and others, and even sent someone to the Imperial Study to ask for an imperial decree.

Li Chengzong didn't like shopping, but seeing that everyone was in high spirits, he didn't want to spoil the fun, so he had to follow them.

Then the group went straight to Zhenbaozhai.

Zhenbaosai is the most famous jade shop in Kyoto. Whether it is jade or gold jewelry, they are all made in a very grand and exquisite way, and are very popular among the noble ladies in Kyoto.

Therefore, the shopkeeper had already developed a pair of sharp eyes.

Seeing Li Chengzong and his party coming in, the shopkeeper immediately hunched over and walked over with a smile on his face.

"Dear guests, what would you like to see? Our shop has just received a batch of fine jade..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Chengzong interrupted and said, "No need for you to introduce, just follow me."

Qin Yu also agreed with her son's words. She was also annoyed by people around her who kept introducing things, which made her seem like she had no taste, so she added: "Well, find two people to follow you. Go and take out the stock in your store. Get the best."

It seems that I have met a big customer today.

The shopkeeper's face lit up with joy, and he immediately bowed and responded. He quickly called two beautiful young ladies over and went to the back to get the stock.

Qin Yu asked Si Lili to choose by herself. Si Lili politely picked out a few pieces, which made Qin Yu very dissatisfied and decided to do it herself.

After walking around, Qin Yu pointed at the things in the store and said, "Take out this... this... these." Seeing that the things he picked out were not the most expensive, but not cheap either, the maid immediately flattered him.

"Madam, you have a very good eye. These are especially in line with the lady's temperament."

Qin Yu smiled awkwardly and asked, "Do these all fit my daughter-in-law's temperament?"

"Yes, it is particularly in line with the temperament of the young lady."

"Does it really match?"

Qin Yu asked the people around him somewhat unconfidently.

Ning Cairen smiled and said, "If you want to ask me whether the weapon is good or not, I can still tell you about it. But this thing... forget it, I don't understand it."

Concubine Liu shook her head: "Looks a bit old."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yu seemed to have found a like-minded person, and immediately nodded and said, "Well, I also think it's a bit old-fashioned. I don't want these things. Pack up the rest for me."

Now it was the maid's turn to feel embarrassed, but she was also shocked by Qin Yu's generosity. This was equivalent to emptying out most of their treasure pavilion. Which noble lady could be so generous?

Afterwards, the shopkeeper came over with some top-quality raw jade, and she knew which family the lady belonged to.

It turned out to be royal!

Because there were too many things, they were sent directly to Prince Ding's Palace by the Treasure Pavilion.

Although the items were very valuable, the Treasure Pavilion did not dare to do anything about it. After all, Li Chengzong's reputation was still very scary.

After leaving the Treasure Pavilion, the group finally truly toured Kyoto.

Looking here and there, several women went into a silk shop.

This time it's Si Lili's turn to perform.

While selecting fabrics, she praised the three elders in various ways, making Qin Yu, Concubine Liu and Concubine Ning smile from ear to ear.

Li Chengping, who was somewhat tired from shopping, was unwilling to go in. He sat at the door without any image, eating snacks bought from the street, listening to the laughter coming from inside, and looking inside from time to time.

Li Chengzong sat on the stool beside him to accompany him. Seeing him looking inside from time to time, he asked curiously, "What are you looking at? If you want to see it, go in and take a look."

Li Chengping shook his head and suddenly said, "Third brother, I beg you for a favor."

"explain."

"Can you find me a woman who is like my sister-in-law?"

"what?"

李承平往里看了一眼，笑道：“你看啊，如果我娶一个像嫂子一样的妻子，我娘肯定天天开心得不行，以后就不会总因为一点小事揍我了，我是不是很聪明？”

Li Chengzong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "It's quite smart."

Li Chengping laughed happily, but then he felt a little embarrassed. He poked Li Chengzong with his hand and said in a low voice, "Third brother, don't tell anyone else about this!"

Just as Li Chengzong was about to speak, a voice came over.

"Hey, third cousin, cousin, why are you here?"

Li Chengping looked up and saw three women standing in front of him. Since he didn't know the other two, he just smiled as a greeting, and then said to Lin Wan'er, "Cousin, my third brother and I are here with my mother and the others to buy things."

"Meet the Third and Fourth Princes."

Li Chengzong looked up at Fan Ruoruo and Ye Linger who were bowing and was a little surprised. He didn't expect that he would run into the heroine and two important female supporting roles while shopping.

However, he had no intention of speaking and just waved his hand.

"Third cousin, cousin, let's go in first."

Li Chengzong hummed and said, "It's fate that we met. My mother and her friends are also choosing fabrics. If you like any of them, you can add them to my account."

Lin Wan'er didn't bother to be polite with Li Chengzong and said with a smile, "Thank you, third cousin."

"Go."

As soon as the three women entered the room, Li Chengping took a look inside and asked in a low voice, "Third brother, is the one in red Ye Ling'er from the Ye family?"

No way, love comes so quickly?
If he remembered correctly, Ye Ling'er was their future sister-in-law.

Li Chengzong couldn't help but joked: "Why, are you interested?"

Li Chengping shook his head: "How is that possible?"

"Then why did you ask her?"

Li Chengping said with a strange look on his face: "You must know that the Ye family wants to marry Ye Ling'er to you."

Li Chengzong was stunned, "How do you know?"

"I heard from Xu Wei that many famous students in the Imperial College know about it, and I also heard that Ye Ling'er has a good impression of you."

After Li Chengping finished speaking, he looked at his third brother's indifferent expression and asked curiously, "Third brother, why don't you go in and take a look?"

"What are you looking at?"

"If the Ye family asks the emperor for permission to marry you, he will definitely agree. Then Ye Ling'er will be your principal wife. You won't be afraid that she will embarrass your third sister-in-law."

Li Chengping suddenly felt that his third brother's brain was not working well sometimes, and he couldn't even understand such a simple thing.
