Chapter 644 - Encountered Princess Royal (2/2)

Princess Royal was ill. And she had been ill all the time. Therefore, she did not attend any of the palace banquets. She only said that it was a chronic ailment that could not be cured. Every time Mo Xuetong visited her, Princess Royal indeed looked like a patient, appearing ill and weak.

Mo Xuetong had also secretly felt Princess Royal’s pulse and realized that she was really ill. So, after Princess Royal told her that she liked peace and quiet and asked her not to come over if there was nothing important, she only sent some medicine over obediently.

“This, should be Princess Royal!” Mo Xuetong frowned with a hint of surprise in her eyes. She rolled her watery eyes slightly and answered in a certain tone. Other than Princess Royal, there was no one else who could make Nanny Qin serve her so wholeheartedly.

“Doesn’t Princess Royal like peace and quiet the most? Why did she come to Xiuning Workshop at this time?” Mo Yu turned around and cast a few more glances at the people who were getting in the carriage.

Mo Xuetong could not figure it out either. She watched as Princess Royal got on the horse carriage and left. Her brows furrowed even more tightly. Given Princess Royal’s character, she should not have acted like this! Even if Princess Royal liked embroidery, it would not be a problem for Nanny Qin to send a message to the shop or bring the shopkeeper directly to her manor.

Although the goods in Xiuning Workshop were good, they were not good enough to stun Princess Royal, who had seen too many exquisite items! She came to check it out in person regardless of her illness. This… was very strange!

“My Lady, I just noticed that Nanny Qin got out of the carriage slowly. It did not seem like Princess Royal had just entered and she followed her. It seems like she was waiting outside for a while. Then, she entered and helped Princess Royal out.” Mo Lan got close to the curtain and looked outside the window before telling Mo Xuetong.

She had always been steady and did not judge a book by its cover. Hearing her a.n.a.lysis, Mo Xuetong felt that it made sense!

What was Princess Royal doing in her shop?

What was it that attracted Princess Royal so much that she had come by herself regardless of her health condition?

Was she just looking at embroidery alone, or talking with someone else?

These questions really made Mo Xuetong feel a little weird. Seeing that Princess Royal’s ordinary carriage had left, Mo Xuetong held Mo Lan’s hand and got off her carriage.

Her maidservants surrounded Mo Xuetong and walked towards the shop. A sharp-eyed shop a.s.sistant saw Mo Xuetong and ran to report to Shopkeeper Xing. As such, by the time Mo Xuetong reached the entrance of the shop, Shopkeeper Xing had already hurried to welcome her.

“Greetings, My Lady.” Shopkeeper Xing bowed respectfully. Mo Xuetong was not just their master, but Consort Xuan.

“Shopkeeper Xing, you don’t have to be so polite. I’m just wandering around and coming to take a look at the business in the shop. How is business these days?” Mo Xuetong smiled slightly and strolled in.

Shopkeeper Xing quickened his pace and answered with a smile, “My Lady, business is not bad these days. I have asked people to embroider according to the sample that you brought last time. Many people think it’s good. And a few embroiders’ work is very praised. Many families in the capital have used our embroidery when they held wedding ceremonies. There are also some people who have booked our embroidery in advance. A few days ago, I also recruited a few more embroiders.”

“Oh, there are a lot of errands in such a shop. Thank you, Shopkeeper Xing.” This shop was full of female items. It was indeed a little difficult for Shopkeeper Xing, the leader of the secret guards, to deal with this kind of thing. Fortunately, Shopkeeper Xing was also a smart person, so he had not been exposed for so many years!

Shopkeeper Xing understood what Mo Xuetong meant and said with a humble smile, “Don’t be so polite, My Lady. Since you trust me so much, I should do my best.”

“Is there any special person coming these few days?” Mo Xuetong picked up a piece of embroidery sample casually and looked at it. It was just an exquisite purse embroidered with lotus leaves. On the slender lotus leaves, there was a blooming lotus flower, which looked charming and attractive.

The embroidery was not bad, and the work was excellent. The lotus leaves under the lotus flower floated up and down, which showed how good the work was.

“Special person?” Shopkeeper Xing thought for a moment, looking a little hesitant. He looked at Mo Xuetong and did not finish his words.

“What’s wrong? Can’t you tell me?” Mo Xuetong happened to look up and her eyes were filled with smiles. Then she asked casually.

“It’s not that I can’t say it, it’s just…” Shopkeeper Xing looked to the left and pointed to the stairs on one side. “My Lady, please go upstairs before we talk!”

“Alright!” Mo Xuetong nodded readily. Then she put down the embroidery in her hand and walked up the stairs.
