Chu Yi’s thin lips parted slightly. Just as he was about to speak, a shop assistant from the Zhen Corporation welcomed him warmly and greeted, “Young Master, Young Ladies…”

When the assistant saw An Le sitting on the wheelchair, he immediately stammered and recognized that it was the Eldest Princess.

Seeing that the Eldest Princess didn’t bring any palace maids, eunuchs, or royal guards with her today, the assistant suddenly realized something. Could this be the ‘secret visit in disguise’ mentioned in plays?”

He instantly felt deep veneration and said respectfully, “Esteemed guests, please come in.”

The assistant instructed the servant to inform Miss Zhen that an important guest had arrived. At the same time, he called a female assistant in green to entertain the important guest with him.

“Please follow me to the private room in the back hall.”

Facing the Eldest Princess, the female shop assistant’s smile was a little reserved. She took the initiative to push the wheelchair and led the three of them to the private room at the back of the shop. At the same time, she sized up Chu Yi and Gu Yanfei quietly and guessed their identities.

The silver shop was orderly. Ordinary guests were looking at jewelry in the front hall outside, and regular guests could enter the private room in the back hall. There was also a special place on the second floor to entertain female guests.

As the female assistant led the way for them, she introduced their silver store. Soon, she led the three of them to the private room at the back.

There were windows on three walls of the private room, and the light was bright. There was a whole set of rosewood tables and chairs, coffee tables, and tall flowers. It was spotless, elegant, and noble. There were also four paintings of flowers and birds that represented spring, summer, autumn, and winter hanging on the wall. The flowers and birds were vividly drawn on the paper.

Seeing that An Le and Gu Yanfei took a few more glances, the female shop assistant said proudly, “Our lady drew this.”

“This parrot is really well-drawn!” An Le pointed at the colorful parrot on one of the paintings and told Gu Yanfei, “Sister, my father… raised such a parrot too.”

“Please excuse me.” A clear and pleasant female voice interjected with a laugh. “As jewelry makers, learning to paint flowers and birds is a basic skill for us.”

A girl wearing a blue bottle with eight-treasure patterns and a gold-inlaid jade face walked hurriedly towards An Le and Gu Yanfei.

She was about 16 or 17 years old. She looked delicate and thin, and her clean footsteps had a shrewd and capable aura.

As she spoke, an old woman nimbly served tea and snacks, and a few female waiters respectfully served several trays.

Those trays were all covered in red velvet cloth, and there were pieces of jewelry made of pure gold. The first tray was a ruby head, the second tray was a green gold stone head, and the rest were pearl heads, gold-inlaid jade heads, red coral heads, and so on.

There were hairpins, earrings, rings, collars, and all kinds of jewelry. At a glance, it was dazzling.

An Le took a jade hairpin from the tray and looked at it. She asked casually, “Miss Zhen, how’s the peony jewelry 1 mentioned last time?”

“It’s almost done. There’s still a little more to wrap up. I wanted to wait until it was completely done before showing it to Your Highness,” Miss Zhen replied generously, and she instructed the female attendant to divert her attention to get the peony jewelry.

Soon, the female attendant brought over a new tray. On the tray was a gold silk peony and phoenix pattern inlaid with southern pearls. The southern pearls shone with a lustrous luster.

“Sister, does it look good?” An Le grabbed Gu Yanfei’s wrist and smiled brightly. “1 thought of this design and let Miss Zhen draw a blueprint for me on the spot. The real thing is even better than the blueprint.”

“It looks good.” Gu Yanfei praised with a smile. “Miss Zhen’s skills are really good.”

Miss Zhen was magnanimous and capable. Furthermore, she knew how to use new jewelry to lure the princess over. She could advance and retreat, and she was good at reading someone’s body language.

What did her senior sister say back then? If one wasn’t scheming, one wouldn’t care so much!

“Thank you for your praise, Miss.” Miss Zhen’s smile widened. She pointed at the gold silk peony and phoenix pattern with southern pearls and said distractedly, “Your Highness is ingenious. 1 drew this phoenix pattern according to the pattern on your dress that day.”

“All that’s left is the bead in the phoenix’s mouth and the stamen of the peony flower.”

“I’ve also drawn a matching bracelet and a gold collar, but it’s not done yet. In three days, the entire set will be ready. Your Highness, feel free to send someone to get it..”
