Chapter 232 Li Chengqian's Thoughts!

Xiao Ruoying and Princess Yuzhang also entered the supermarket to look around.

Xiao Ruoying also noticed that other items were also in high demand; watermelons and lychees were sold out instantly.

Their eyes were red, and they were ready to fight over anything.

"Hiss!" Xiao Ruoying felt a little scared.

"Lychees were also available in the Tang Dynasty, but the production area was far from Chang'an City. In the past, no amount of money could buy them; they were as valuable as gold."

"As for watermelons, they weren't originally available in the Tang Dynasty, making them perfect for this season. They're very popular, and many wealthy families and merchants in Chang'an are fond of them."

The implication is that there is no shortage of wealthy people here.

Although these things are not cheap, they are really nothing to these people.

"Since business is so good, why not open more stores?" Xiao Ruoying also knew that this place was very profitable.

It's similar to robbery, except this one is legal.

A group of people were lining up outside to give money.

“Opening a supermarket isn’t difficult; the difficult part is delivery. It’s very troublesome, and I have a lot of things to do, as you know,” Princess Yuzhang lowered her voice. “Only Sizi and I can do it. Although we’ve prepared a conveyor belt, it’s still very troublesome.”

Xiao Ruoying nodded, "That's true."

"Why does this layout seem so familiar?" Xiao Ruoying thought, finding it increasingly familiar.

"Hehe, this layout is based on my bro's supermarket."

Xiao Ruoying smiled and saw the three little princesses strolling around in the supermarket, so she quickly went over.

Princess Yuzhang also talked about the supermarket's profit-sharing arrangements and the naming of the little princess.

“My brother really spoils Sizi.” Xiao Ruoying and the others all felt this.

Xiao Ran was kind to everyone else, but clearly not as kind to the little princess.

“After all, we were able to meet and have this wonderful experience because of Sizi and Brother. No one else could do it, only Sizi and Brother could.” Princess Yuzhang thought this was normal.

Others thought the same way.

On the other side, Xiao Ran and Li Lizhi looked at the cashier. Previously, there was always a long queue at the cashier. These items were not cheap, and the Kaiyuan Tongbao coins were numerous, so counting the money was slow.

Things are different now; it's much faster.

"Now we don't have to queue to pay." Li Lizhi was very satisfied.

The work of counting money was transferred to the money exchange.

While Xiao Ran and Li Lizhi were talking, Princess Yuzhang and Xiao Ruoying arrived with their three little princesses.

"Let's go check out the money exchange," Xiao Ran said, pointing outside.

"I want to go too~" the little princess tugged at Xiao Ran, "Little Nangjun, give me a hug~"

Xiao Ran picked up the little princess.

Princess Yuzhang and Xiao Ruoying also picked up Princess Gaoyang and Princess Chengyang.

The group left the supermarket.

Qin Huaiyu leaned close to Cheng Chumo's ear and asked, "Chumo, which princess is the lady next to Princess Yuzhang? I don't recognize her."

Cheng Chumo shook his head. "I don't remember either. It doesn't seem like it. But it looks a lot like the young master. Don't you think so?"

"It does feel somewhat similar," Qin Huaiyu nodded.

Cheng Chumo felt this information was very important and he would have to tell his father about it later.

The money exchange also shocked Xiao Ruoying; it felt just like a bank.

Glass counters and the like.

Although many people are unwilling to accept paper money, the supermarket only accepts paper money, so they have no choice but to come and exchange it.

Many people would return any leftover banknotes after making purchases and exchange them for Kaiyuan Tongbao coins.

Carrying banknotes home made me feel uneasy.

But there are fewer and fewer people like that now.

Many people know that the supermarket and the money exchange have royal connections, backed by Emperor Taizong of Tang (Li Shimin) and Empress Zhangsun.

The credibility has increased significantly.

I glanced at the ledgers at the money exchange and didn't linger there.

When they came out, they saw Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and Li Ke.

Xiao Ran was a little surprised. Li Tai and Li Ke might be free, but Li Chengqian shouldn't be!
Moreover, these three brothers are getting a little too close now. "Young Master!" Li Chengqian walked over with a smile.

"Your Highness!"

"Brother!"

The group greeted each other.

Li Chengqian and the others all noticed Xiao Ruoying.

This is an unfamiliar face; it's neither another princess nor a palace maid.

Xiao Ruoying's words and actions did not resemble those of a person from the Tang Dynasty.

Li Chengqian actually had his own guesses.

"This is His Highness the Crown Prince." Xiao Ran introduced Li Chengqian and his two brothers to his sister.

"Your Highness, this is my younger sister, Xiao Ruoying."

Li Chengqian's eyes lit up, and he immediately became interested. "So that's how it is. No wonder he looks so much like the young master."

"Your Highness," Xiao Ran greeted him.

It's a bit awkward; I don't know how to greet them.

Fortunately, Xiao Ran was there, along with familiar faces like Princess Yuzhang, Li Lizhi.

Li Chengqian had a very good impression of Xiao Ran, and so did he have the same impression of Xiao Ruoying.

After the group left, Li Chengqian stared intently at Xiao Ruoying.

Li Tai and Li Ke exchanged a glance, understanding what their elder brother was thinking.

Xiao Ran and Li Lizhi are engaged, but that doesn't prevent them from becoming even closer relatives.

Compared to Princess Li Lizhi, Xiao Ruoying's appearance was indeed much less striking, but Li Chengqian found her to be quite special.

The main reason is that Xiao Ruoying was not a native of the Tang Dynasty, which made her very useful to Li Chengqian.

As the crown prince, the heir apparent of the Tang Dynasty, it is understandable that he would consider these things.

"Sanlang, Qingque, you two go to the supermarket, I won't go." Li Chengqian returned to the palace.

Xiao Ran and his companions did not return to the palace immediately, but instead took a stroll along Zhuque Street.

They ran from one end to the other, then turned around and came back.

He exchanged a few words with Li Shimin and the others before leaving.

Zhang Anan walked to Li Shimin's side and said, "Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince requests an audience!"

Li Shimin also smiled, "I guess Dalang has seen that girl Ruoying."

Empress Zhangsun nodded. "That should be true."

"Let Dalang in!"

Soon, Li Chengqian entered the Taiji Hall and gave a brief greeting to Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun.

"Elder brother, are you done with your business?" Li Shimin had to admit that Li Chengqian was indeed relieved.

With other people assisting him, Li Chengqian was actually quite capable in handling state affairs.

It was much better than Li Shimin had anticipated.

"Grandpa, nothing's wrong for now. I ran into Lizhi and the young master at the supermarket earlier."

"Father, that lady is the young master's younger sister, right?" Li Chengqian wanted to confirm again.

Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun were well aware of Li Chengqian's thoughts.

“They’ve only just arrived, why are you in such a hurry?” Li Shimin asked.

Li Chengqian gave an awkward smile.

To solidify Li Chengqian's position as crown prince, Li Chengqian was indeed the best candidate.

Other princes are unsuitable, and it's even more impossible for anyone other than a prince.

Because this involves things from another world.

Although Xiao Ruoying couldn't travel through time on her own, she was still a person from another world and knew more than the people of the Tang Dynasty.

This is Xiao Ruoying's natural advantage.

"It's different on Xiao Ran's side. These matters depend on them. There's no such thing as arranged marriages over there. It mainly depends on what Yingniang thinks," Empress Zhangsun added.
