The Farm Girl's Charismatic Fortune-Chapter 300 - 296: Where Did You Learn That Slyness?

Ruo Xuan had just stepped into the store and discovered it was three stories high.

The first floor displayed various series of skincare and cosmetics products, which were dazzling and exquisitely arranged.

The samples on display were for trial use and not for sale, requiring pre-order if out of stock.

Many customers were trying products at each counter, and the shop was overcrowded.

Ruo Xuan overheard the store’s staff say the orders were already scheduled until next March.

The second floor was for makeup services, charging ten taels of silver per session, not including the cost of cosmetics.

The daily makeup appointments were always fully booked, requiring a reservation three days in advance, or there would be no openings.

The third floor offered skincare treatments, each session costing thirty taels of silver, including basic hydrating and whitening skincare products. Other specialty treatments required an additional fee.

This place had become a must-visit for many noble ladies and wives from Capital City whenever they had a banquet to attend.

Because of the palace banquet on New Year’s Eve, today saw a great number of nobles making appointments for makeup and skincare.

Ruo Xuan wanted to go upstairs but was stopped by a sharp rebuke, "Hold it right there!"

Ruo Xuan turned around and saw it was Princess Kangyi, with whom she had attended classes before.

Standing beside her was a richly dressed young matron who looked somewhat like her, and Ruo Xuan knew at a glance that this had to be Princess Kangyi’s mother.

A few maids and family guards followed behind them.

It was quite an entourage.

Ruo Xuan asked, "What do you mean, ’hold it right there’?"

Princess Kangyi stood with her hands on her hips, "When did you come to the capital? Why did you not greet me upon seeing me?"

Ruo Xuan also placed her hands on her hips, "I am a commandery princess now, too. I don’t need to greet you."

Princess Kangyi: "..."

How infuriating! The Emperor actually made her a commandery princess, and one with a fiefdom no less, which sounded more impressive than her own title!

No more greetings for her then.

Princess Kangyi turned to the women behind Ruo Xuan and pointed at them, "You’re a commandery princess, but they aren’t, right? How audacious of these insolent people to not greet me, the Princess!"

Ruo Xuan similarly turned to Princess Kangyi’s mother and pointed, her voice childishly insistent, "Your mother is also audacious for not greeting me!"

The mother of Princess Kangyi, the wife of the Protectorate Duke’s son: "..."

This little girl actually expects me to greet her?

Does she even know who I am?

Princess Kangyi: "..."

"How dare you demand a greeting from my mother, do you know who she is?"

What Ruo Xuan was best at was applying what she had learned, making connections on the spot!

With a child-like seriousness, she echoed what she had learned just a few days earlier, "I don’t care who your mother is. All I know is that except for the Empress Dowager, the Empress, the Princesses, and the Princes’ wives, to whom I need to greet, I don’t need to greet any other women. They should greet me! Even though you are a commandery princess, I am one with a fiefdom and a title, meaning my rank is slightly more prestigious than yours. So, unless you and your mother greet me first, I won’t let my mother greet you."

Princess Kangyi: "..."

The wife of the Protectorate Duke’s son: "..."

So angry! To be outplayed by a country girl from the backwoods. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

Princess Kangyi was fuming, "You...!"

Ruo Xuan, "What’s wrong with me? Don’t bother me; I’m quite busy. If you’re unsatisfied, go find the Empress Dowager, she’s the one who taught me this!"

After speaking, Ruo Xuan ignored her and said to her own mother, "Mother, Aunt from father’s elder brother, Aunt from the second uncle, Aunt from the third uncle, let’s go in."

Princess Kangyi: "...."

Sob, how could the Empress Dowager, clearly her own paternal aunt, be used as this rustic girl’s backing!

Princess Kangyi cried out in grief, "Wah... Mother, I want to see the Empress Dowager!"

The wife of the Protectorate Duke’s son picked up her daughter and soothed her, "Darling, don’t cry. Mommy will take you to the palace to see your aunt later. Your aunt dislikes it most when people take advantage of her name to bully others. Let’s go ahead and make an appointment in the store first, alright?"

The New Year’s Eve palace banquet was fast approaching, and she had to make an appointment here for her makeup look, otherwise, she would be outdone by the other ladies at the banquet.

Ruo Xuan rolled her eyes, who couldn’t tattle? She could complain this instant!

Ruo Xuan directly transmitted her voice to Xuanyuan Que from a thousand miles away, "Brother Xuanyuan, someone is bullying me, you have to stand up for me!!"

Xuanyuan Que: "..."

Why did her tone sound so much like those concubines in the harem?

Where on earth had she learned such foxy airs?

Where had Ruo Xuan learned it? Of course, it was from times when she was too bored and used her magical hearing to eavesdrop.

Originally, she wanted to listen to what Divine Lord Xuanyuan was up to and look for him, but she inadvertently overheard some palace concubines bickering out of jealousy, found it amusing, and thus opened the door to a new world.

Xuanyuan Que pinched the bridge of his nose, "Who is bullying you?"

Ruo Xuan: "It’s Princess Kangyi! She demanded that my whole family bow to her! Brother Xuanyuan, you have to stand up for me!"

Xuanyuan Que felt goosebumps all over!

What on earth had she been up to recently?

As if possessed by a fox spirit!

"Speak properly!"

Ruo Xuan: "..."

"Oh, her mother said she’s going to complain to the Empress Dowager that I am bullying others because of my position."

Ruo Xuan tattled while looking around the shop.

Xuanyuan Que: "Ignore her, the Empress Dowager will protect you."

Seeing Ruo Xuan, Princess Kangyi quickly approached and deliberately bumped into her hard, then said, "I’m sorry, Princess Wuyou, it’s too crowded and too packed here!"

Ruo Xuan continued to silently complain, "Brother Xuanyuan, look, she bumped into me! Didn’t you say I’m not allowed to casually use Immortal Technique on people in the Capital City? Tell me what to do?"

Princess Kangyi then taunted, "Princess Wuyou, your family farms, right? A bottle of powder here costs more than a hundred taels of silver, can you afford it?"

Ruo Xuan stepped directly on her foot, "Sorry, Princess Kangyi, it’s so crowded and packed here. My mother has a bottle of all the skincare and makeup products in this shop. How about you, how many can you afford?"

Xuanyuan Que had already seen what was happening.

Princess Kangyi was no match for this Little Flower Fairy who had cultivated for a hundred years.

He didn’t interfere any further, letting her have her fun.

There was no one in this world she couldn’t offend.

However, she really had learned a trick or two, now even using provocation to earn silver.

Princess Kangyi’s foot hurt so much she almost cried, but after hearing Ruo Xuan’s words, she put the pain aside and said defiantly, "You’re lying, the shop’s products are hard to come by, how could you possibly have them all!"

"They are difficult to come by, I bought them in other shops! And don’t you know? If you can buy the entire set of products from the shop, you get priority purchasing rights!"

The shopkeeper of the shop, having been trained in Shaxi County, naturally recognized Ruo Xuan. She was about to come forward to greet her, but Ruo Xuan gestured for her to stop.

"Pure nonsense, why haven’t I heard of such a thing?"

Ruo Xuan: "Don’t believe me? Ask the shopkeeper here. My mother, my first aunt, my second aunt, my third aunt, and even my grandmother bought this way! They all have a full set of products from this shop."

Princess Kangyi: "Lies! How could you possibly afford so much? I don’t believe it!"

Her mother had told her that the items here were very expensive, and each time she came, she only dared to buy one or two things.

The wife of the Princely Heir from the Protectorate Duke’s Residence smiled, "I really haven’t heard of getting such rights by buying a full set. If it’s true, I’ll take a full set too!"

After speaking, the wife of the Princely Heir looked at the shopkeeper, "Miss Qiu, is it really true that buying a full set of products from the shop grants priority purchasing rights?"

The shopkeeper bowed, "Your Highness, yes, that’s correct. Are you here to buy a set?"

The wife of the Princely Heir: "..."
