Fake Eunuch: Discovering the Emperor is a Woman!-Chapter 200 - 198: The Fourth Prince’s Heart Is Stirred (First Update)

Chapter 200: Chapter 198: The Fourth Prince’s Heart Is Stirred (First Update)

As the salesperson’s words came to an end, the Fourth Prince’s originally composed expression immediately stiffened.

Following that, he stared at the salesperson with an incredulous look, his lips trembling involuntarily as he spoke:

"How much, how much did you say? Are you saying one hundred thousand taels and not ten thousand taels??"

At this moment, countless metaphorical wild horses were rampaging through the Fourth Prince’s heart.

Look at this, is this something a person would do?

Well, initially I thought I had found a bargain, with this bamboo slip indicating it could be redeemed for ten taels of silver.

That means, in effect, I had just gained ten taels of silver for nothing!

But now, all I want to say is, damn, this definitely isn’t something a person could pull off!

You’re discounting a mere ten taels of silver off of an item costing one hundred thousand taels?

Isn’t this a blatant slap in the face?

If I, the Prince, really spent ninety-nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine taels of silver, would I then care about those last ten taels?

Observing the shifting expressions on the Fourth Prince’s face, the salesperson in front of him naturally knew what was going through his mind.

After all, such an expensive item was certainly beyond the reach of ordinary people.

However, evidently, this situation had already been anticipated by them.

Moreover, when Lin Yi trained them initially, he had specifically instructed on how to act in such scenarios.

At this time, one must flatter the customer, hold them up high, and compel them to pay for the sake of maintaining face.

As expected, when the big-eyed salesperson flashed that charming smile at the Fourth Prince, it sealed the Prince’s fate to bleed a hefty sum that day.

"Esteemed sir, although this item seems expensive, it is genuinely a fine piece and is a limited edition.

Let me put it this way, this Qilin Vase is the only one of its kind in our store.

Therefore, what it represents is self-evident.

First of all, not to mention its material, nor to speak of its quality, just this air of luxury alone is incomparable to common items.

Moreover, from my observation, the nobility and opulence that you embody are beyond words, and it’s exactly for this reason that this item is perfectly suited for you and only you deserve to possess it!

Compared to the price, I believe this nobility is priceless."

It has to be said, the sales pitch indeed swayed the Fourth Prince, who was otherwise quite reluctant to part with his money!

Of course, the main reason was that the big-eyed salesperson truly captivated the Fourth Prince.

For this reason, after her speech, the Fourth Prince immediately stroked his beard and laughed heartily:

"Haha, what a witty and articulate young lady.

Although your words have pleased me greatly, your item is indeed too costly.

This piece of glazed glass, while flawless indeed, should not command such an exorbitant price.

Do not think that I, the Prince, lack the knowledge of goods, for this item, a value of ten thousand taels is already the upper limit."

It must be said, the Fourth Prince was indeed speaking the truth.

He was quite aware of the market price of glazed glass.

After all, he was someone who greatly appreciated glazed glass, and his residence housed many such items.

Of course, those pieces of glazed glass did not match the exquisite workmanship of the one before him.

Consequently, their value could not compare to this piece of glazed glass.

The best glazed glass plate in his collection was worth no more than seven thousand taels of silver.

Even if this piece were of exceptional quality, the price of one hundred thousand taels was simply too steep.

What particularly troubled him was that small bamboo slip.

No doubt, such an item would frustrate anyone who possessed it.

It’s just like offering an eight-thousand-yuan voucher for a Lamborghini in the future.

However, after hearing his words, that salesperson coyly smiled at the Fourth Prince:

"So it turns out you are the Fourth Prince, no wonder the moment you walked in, I could tell your nobility was beyond words.

This humble woman pays her respects to the Fourth Prince."

As she spoke, that big-eyed salesperson bowed slightly to the Fourth Prince, her face feigning a sudden realization.

Of course, what she truly thought inside, naturally, the Fourth Prince had no way of knowing.

After all, the big-eyed salesperson would not disclose that every store clerk here followed Lin Yi’s arrangements, carefully recognizing and remembering the faces of each dignitary on their path from the court.

Therefore, they had deeply etched the officials and nobility of the Capital City in their minds.

When the Fourth Prince set foot in the store, this salesperson had already recognized him and immediately targeted him.

Seeing that the woman in front of him had recognized his identity, the Fourth Prince chuckled and stroked his beard, his face radiating with proud satisfaction.

At the same time, in his heart, he thought that with his noble status, surely she would eagerly vie for his favor.

He even began pondering that if she sought to be taken back to his residence, he would be willing to spend the silver to make that purchase.

However, to the Fourth Prince’s surprise, after paying her respects, she did not touch on this matter at all.

Instead, she continued to explain about the glazed glass Qilin before them:

"It appears this Qilin Vase is indeed fated for you!

You know, the Qilin is one of the nine dragon progeny, it is akin to a dragon’s offspring!

Isn’t this exactly the counterpart to you?"

At this point, the big-eyed salesperson’s voice suddenly ceased, then she glanced around to check if anyone was paying attention here, before slightly leaning forward.

After drawing closer to the Fourth Prince, she continued in a whisper:

"Prince, you may not be aware, as I mentioned before, this glazed glass Qilin is a limited edition, with only one piece available.

And in You Country, there is more than one Prince.

If at this moment you don’t purchase it, and the other Princes find out, they will certainly not pass up such a treasure.

This solitary Qilin is an emblem of social status and position.

Just think, if any other Prince were to display it in their residence, then..."

At this point, the big-eyed salesperson indeed did not continue her speech.

However, the implication of her words was clear, and the Fourth Prince had indeed grasped it.

The sentence had hit right at the Fourth Prince’s sore spot.

If indeed there was only one glazed glass Qilin, it certainly wouldn’t escape the attention of other Princes who might covet it.

And an even more crucial point,
