Chapter 308: Princess Zhaohua Buys Flowers
Princess Zhaohua immediately glared at Keke, unhappy.
“Shut up, why are you so talkative!”
And she wasn’t even allowed to dream?
However, having Qin Wanwan was good. Princess Zhaohua couldn’t help but pick her up, her fingers pinching her little face.
So soft, so easy to pinch, so cute~
When would she be able to have such a beautiful daughter?
“If I could give birth to a daughter as good-looking as you, I would have no regrets in this life.”
Qin Wanwan blinked her eyes.
Keke: “Heh heh… Let’s worry about getting married yourself first.”
She didn’t even have a man, let alone a daughter as beautiful as Wanwan, not even a son.
Princess Zhaohua…
You darn bird, shut up!
“By the way, Empress Dowager really liked the roasted sweet potato you brought to the palace last time, and Emperor Uncle liked it too. Do you still have any? I want to buy some to take back.”
Qin Wanwan nodded: “Yes, I do.”
Although she didn’t return to Shangjing when planting sweet potatoes this year, Father Shang had people bring back quite a few honey sweet potato seeds and asked them to plant them on the manor as required.
The roasted sweet potatoes from the manor had a good harvest this year.
“No need to buy, I’ll give them to you.”
Sweet potatoes grow a lot, and the manor had a good harvest this year.
“But you can’t eat too much of this, eating too much can cause flatulence.”
Princess Zhaohua covered her mouth: “Ah? It has that side effect too.”
If she farted, then no, no, she was a commandery princess, a noble lady, how could she fart often.
If she farted in public, she would die of shame.
“Then I’ll eat less when I get back.”
“Wow… Wanwan, are all these flowers you planted? They’re too beautiful.”
“The peony in this pot bloomed green, no, the season for peonies to bloom is over, isn’t it? Why is this pot still blooming so well?!”
“I like it so much, Wanwan, how much is this peony?”
“Why is this chrysanthemum like a ball, bigger than my fist? Is this really a chrysanthemum? It’s so beautiful and fun, I want this one too.”
“Is this a rose? The flower is so big and it’s blue-black, such a mysterious color, beautiful, I want them all!”
Noble ladies nowadays enjoyed flower appreciation, both men and women.
Therefore, when Princess Zhaohua saw so many beautiful flowers, and even varieties she had never seen before, her eyes were almost overwhelmed.
She wanted them all!
However, upon hearing the price, Princess Zhaohua calculated her private savings, and it wasn’t enough to buy them.
Qin Wanwan kept her promise and gave her a discount, three tenths of the price set by her father!
Crucially, Princess Zhaohua didn’t feel it was expensive at all.
“My money now can only buy three pots of flowers.”
The one she liked the most, the peony with green flowers, was very large, and the green of the flower was a very striking light green, giving a fresh and vibrant feeling. Princess Zhaohua fell in love with it at first sight.
Then there was a pot of blue-black roses and an elegant orchid.
She liked every pot, and her taste was indeed good; those three pots were quite expensive.
Qin Wanwan had only cultivated two or three pots of that quality and color in total.
The total for the three pots of flowers was five thousand six hundred taels of silver.
“I’ll take these three pots of flowers back first, and I’ll send this peony to Empress Dowager.”
Princess Zhaohua’s eyes rolled as she thought of a way to get money.
“Heh heh… I’ll take the flowers to ask Empress Dowager for a reward…”
Qin Wanwan listened to her plan and wanted to give her a thumbs up.
Princess Zhaohua, who relied on her parents, was amazing!
Finally, Princess Zhaohua went home happily with the three pots of flowers.
However, while moving the flowers, she encountered her father and mother.
“What beautiful and unique flowers, where did they come from?”
The couple was also drawn to the sight of the three pots of flowers.
Princess Zhaohua said proudly: “Wanwan grew them, aren’t they beautiful.”
“You mean that little lady from Prime Minister Rong’s Residence?”
The Grand Princess was surprised: “If I remember correctly, she’s only four years old, right?”
Princess Zhaohua: “Almost five.”
“So, flowers of such exquisite quality were grown by a child who is not yet five years old?”
Princess Zhaohua: “Although it’s unbelievable, it’s true. Wanwan is very amazing. She’s so small, but she feels much more capable than I am.”
The Grand Princess said, “If that’s the case, then you don’t need to compare yourself to her at all.”
Princess Zhaohua thought to herself that her mother still loved her, but the next second.
“Because you can’t compare at all.”
Princess Zhaohua: …
Mother’s love is like a landslide.
She discovered that as she grew older and lived under the same roof as her parents, they seemed to like her less and less.
The Grand Princess said, “I quite like this peony, it’s the first time I’ve seen a green peony. Move it to my room.”
Princess Zhaohua’s eyes widened: “No, I plan to take this peony to the Imperial Palace to give to Empress Dowager.”
Hearing this, the Grand Princess did not argue further: “What about that one?”
She pointed to the pot of roses, which resembled a brilliant starry sky in the deep night, mysterious and magnificent.
“That one is mine.”
The Grand Princess said, “Send it to my room.”
The Consort also asked, “Send that pot of orchids over too.”
Then he held the Grand Princess’s hand and said gently, “Children don’t know appreciation, but Zhaohua has good taste. These two pots of flowers are perfect for us.”
Princess Zhaohua stomped her feet in anger: “Why are you doing this, snatching your own daughter’s things!”
“Oh, since you’re friends with that young lady from Prime Minister Rong’s Residence, go buy a few more pots.”
“But I spent over five thousand taels of silver!”
The Grand Princess waved her hand: “Go to the accounting office yourself and get ten thousand taels of silver.”
Princess Zhaohua: (?ω?)
“These were the three most beautiful pots I picked.”
Although she complained, Princess Zhaohua still happily went to the accounting office to get the money.
She could get another sum tomorrow when she visited the Imperial Palace, and then she could buy more flowers!
“Why doesn’t Wanwan hold a flower appreciation banquet? She would definitely become the most popular noble lady in all of Shangjing then.”
At this moment, Qin Wanwan didn’t know that she was about to receive a large sum of money.
The weather in Shangjing was gradually getting colder, and the clothes she wore were getting thicker.
She was thinking about Father Xie’s situation and wanted to go to Imperial Advisor Daddy to figure out if she could find people from the Wolf Tribe in the snow mountain.
However, before she could set off for the palace, Princess Zhaohua came again.
“Wanwan, I’m here to buy flowers.”
She exuded an aura of joy from head to toe.
“You don’t know how popular your flowers are. Of the three pots I took back, except for the one I gave to Empress Dowager, the other two were snatched by my parents as soon as they got home. However, they gave me ten thousand taels of silver notes.”
“Empress Dowager also rewarded me with thirty thousand taels.”
Qin Wanwan: Daddy was right, Shangjing really has a lot of rich people, selling flowers too cheaply is a huge loss!
A certain little Qilin gradually awakened her merchant’s nature.
