The little princess was torn, and the demon emperor patched her up

Chapter 191: Ergou's daily love words to the little princess
It is autumn now, and the mountains and rivers are tranquil.

Shang Bingjiu was walking on the mountain road carrying a box on his back.

Xiao Baojing sat in the box and happily opened the box, which was filled with candied haws.

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Shang Bing was drunk and ate her candied haws, which he bought as compensation to her.

The girl picked up a string and ate it with relish.

She is a fairy, she is not afraid of cavities and it doesn’t matter how much sweets she eats.

While eating the candied haws, she asked curiously, "By the way, why do you like being a peddler?"

She discovered that Shang Bingjiu liked to buy some miscellaneous little things at the market, such as rouge, powder, needles and thread, and candies, and then take them to the deep mountains and forests to sell them. Sometimes she sold them to people in remote villages, and sometimes she sold them to mountain monsters.

Shang Bingjiu put his hands in his pockets and smiled: "Don't you think my basket looks like a treasure chest?"

"It's quite similar..."

There are all kinds of things in it, and you can always find new things by flipping through it. It is the most popular among children and girls. Every time I go to a remote village, I will be surrounded by villagers. You buy a piece of cloth and I buy a silver hairpin, and they will be sold out quickly.

Shang Bingjiu's voice was gentle and clear: "You used to like the peddler very much."

Xiao Baojing recalled carefully and remembered an incident that happened a long time ago.

At that time, she was still a small orange tree outside the Colosseum. Although she had her own consciousness, her skills were too shallow to cultivate into a human being.

But she loves beauty.

What she liked most was to stare at the little human girls passing by, looking at their lifted skirts and their delicate buns.

She envied them and wanted to be like them.

Sometimes peddlers would stop by her tree with their loads on their shoulders, and the girls would rush over to look at the novelties in the baskets. They would use silver ingots and banknotes to buy beautiful cloth and embroidered shoes, boxes of exquisite and delicious cakes and candies, and some girls would buy bronze mirrors with strange patterns and odd-shaped mohelos.

Xiao Baojing watched them try on the pearl hairpins with envy, and stared at the basket with curiosity.

Those baskets were not big, but they seemed to be able to hold a lot of treasures.

As the girls were looking through the baskets, she also spotted a pink ribbon.

She thought that if she tied this ribbon around her branches, she would become the most beautiful orange tree in the world!

At that time, she didn't understand the rules of the world. Seeing that the little girls were using silver bills one by one, she tentatively exchanged her own leaves for ribbons.

But when she threw many leaves to the peddler, he ignored her completely.

Xiao Baojing guessed that maybe he didn't like green leaves, so he threw many yellow leaves to him.

As a result, the peddler threw away her leaves in disgust and walked away with his basket of goods.

Xiao Baojing is so angry!

In the years that followed, peddlers carrying their loads on their shoulders came to rest under her tree.

But without exception, they all refused to take her leaves!
It was not until she had practiced for a longer time that she realized that silver notes and leaves were different. Silver notes were the currency unit used in the world and could be exchanged for various commodities, while leaves could be found everywhere and were worthless.

Thinking back to the innocent and stupid past, Xiao Baojing couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

Shang Bingjiu said with a smile: "They don't like your leaves, but I do. The little princess can use leaves and orange flowers to exchange for many treasures from me. To me, the little princess's leaves and orange flowers are more valuable currencies than gold and silver ingots."

Xiao Baojing held the box full of candied haws, his cheeks blushing with embarrassment.

She whispered: "You always say sweet words to coax me, you are so mean!"
