Chapter 673 - Market Visit III (1/2)
Zhao Ming gritted her teeth while trying hard to not show her disgust to the man. She smiled and knitted her brows as if she was upset and said, ” Brother, what are you saying? Aren't all these items from the palace? I heard that these items are made by the royal consorts themselves. Shouldn't their prices be lower than the normal ones?” She blinked her and complained.
The man raised his brows and licked his lips lewdly while staring at her, ” Ah? So you know that these things are made by consorts themselves and yet you're saying this? These things are from the palace and are out of reach of the common public but here I am selling all these items. It means you won't be able to find them anywhere only here. I have already reduced its price for you. If you don't have money, then get out from here.” he shooed them away and turned to his friend.
” But I heard that there are other stalls as well who are selling the goods from the palace. Are they selling at the same price or less than this? If they are selling cheaply then we will go there and buy it. Even if it is far away, we will better go there and buy it.” Zhao Ming said while waiting for his response.
The man frowned but laughed the next moment. ” Haha. You can go there but there is no way you will get these items at less price. All the stalls are selling the items at the same prices because these are the prices set by Her Majesty and Head Consort. If you want to fight over price, be ready to argue with Her Majesty.”
Zhao Ming furrowed her brows hearing his words. He was blatantly lying about it.
Jia shi pursed her lips and said coquettishly, ” Brother, this is such a beautiful anklet, can't you give it to us for 10 coins? We don't have 45 coins that you're asking for.” She pouted after saying this.
”-_-”
Zhao Ming was speechless seeing Jia shi acting like this. It was her first time seeing Consort Jia shi act like this. She really...looks cute. Even she as a woman can say that she looks really cute and charming while acting like this.
”Ahem*...if you want them, you can take it. But in one condition.” The man stared at Jia shi and said after hearing her desperate plea.
” What condition?” Zhao Ming asked while trying her urge to punch the man on the face seeing his disgusting expressions. His eyes were lingering on both of them and she wanted to wipe that disgusting smile off his face. However, she controlled just for the sake of her plans.
She started to sell these items in the market because this way not only Consorts can earn extra budget for themselves but also it will give them a sense of satisfaction and independence in the palace. However, it was her first time coming out and inspecting one of the stalls which were selling these items. She was shocked to know that people are taking advantage of this and were selling at high prices not only that they are spreading the wrong image of the palace among people.
” You can take it if you agree to serve me tonight. I can give you two other items for free as well. I don't give such a profitable deal to everyone but you are really pretty, so I am making an exception for you guys.”
”Especially you! You have a perfect figure. I wonder how soft you….Ah!” The man pointed at Zhao Ming and was looking at her disgustingly when a painful shriek could be heard.
Zhao Ming was shocked when Ji Cheng came out of nowhere and punched the bulky man on the face. He walked towards the other side of the stall and kicked him on the stomach and shouted, ”How dare you! How dare you to say such disgusting things about my Empress? You Bastard!” Ji Cheng punched the man ruthlessly causing him to fall on the ground, with blood on the corner of his lips.
Feng Ju was also shocked when Ji Cheng suddenly got out and went to beat the man. He soon followed and tried to stop him and leave the man to him but he was so enraged that he didn't even listen to his words.
He punched and kicked the man until he was like a dead pulp. His friend was standing on the corner in fear. He didn't dare to step in and save his friend.
