The powerful princess arrives with a space warehouse

Chapter 1027 Teasing

"Henry, quickly tell the shopkeeper I want a set!"

"Henry, I'll order one too."

Several blond men were shouting loudly in the shop, attracting the attention of the customers, who had no idea what they were talking about.

Jolie raised his hand to signal them to be quiet, then turned to Henry and said, "Henry, tell the shopkeeper we want to buy eight sets."

"Your Highness, you mean... eight sets?" Henry looked at Jolief with a puzzled expression, paused for a moment, and then gestured with his hand to confirm.

“Yes, one set for each of the six of us, and the remaining two sets for General William and his men on the ship,” Jorliffe explained with a nod.

Henry immediately realized that they were docked at the seaside on a ship, with two generals and soldiers. So he quickly nodded in agreement.

He strode up to Manager Qin and said in broken Western Chu language, "Manager Qin... we'd like to buy eight sets of these gift boxes of perfume. Do you have that many in stock?"

"Eight sets?" Manager Qin rubbed his temples, pondered for a moment, and then called out to someone not far away, "Little Liu, go to the warehouse and see how much of this perfume is left. Is it enough for eight sets?"

He knew perfectly well that the warehouse clearly contained more than twenty sets that the owner had just delivered yesterday. He deliberately sent someone to check just to show that it was in high demand in front of these foreigners. However, their perfume was indeed in high demand, and people from many other states came to buy it.

Xiao Liu was a little stunned when he heard this. Yesterday... Then he thought of something and replied with a smile, "Okay, Manager Qin!" He turned around and ran to the backyard storeroom.

A short while later, Xiao Liuzi came over with eight exquisite gift boxes filled with perfume. He followed the shopkeeper's instructions and placed the gift boxes in front of Qiao Lifu and the others.

Upon seeing the exquisite gift boxes, Joliffe and his group of blond men's eyes lit up instantly. The gift boxes were so beautifully made! The packaging alone exuded luxury; they had really struck gold! The men grinned, their eyes glued to the gift boxes, not even daring to blink.

Charles stepped forward, counted the boxes, and exclaimed excitedly, "Eight boxes! I'll take them all!" He immediately pulled out a six-hundred-tael silver note from his pocket and stuffed it into Henry's hand. "Give it to the shopkeeper quickly."

Charles was in charge of the accounts for their group. These silver notes from the Western Chu Kingdom were specially exchanged for gold at the post station this morning for the convenience of shopping.

Henry took the silver note and quickly handed it to Manager Qin, "Manager Qin, this is a six hundred tael silver note."

Manager Qin took the silver notes and examined them; they were indeed from their Western Chu Kingdom. He then beckoned to his assistant, who brought six small cloth bags embroidered with subtle patterns. He placed the perfume gift boxes into the bags one by one, pulled out the small ropes, and handed them to them one by one.

This surprised them again. There were actually ways to pack goods like this? The little bag looked so elegant and classy to carry. Who came up with this idea? How could they make such a small cloth bag to hold gifts!

The group of people looked at each other, each touching the small cloth bag with obvious delight, chatting amongst themselves. They were even more excited than if they had bought perfume.

At this moment, Manager Qin brought out ten taels of silver and handed it to Henry, explaining with a smile, "Sir, this is a discount for you. If you buy five or more sets of perfume in our shop at once, you can get a ten-tael discount."

Henry was overjoyed to see that the shopkeeper had even given them ten taels of silver. He took the silver and quickly handed it to Charles, explaining the discount. The group felt it was an excellent deal.

Seeing that the group didn't seem inclined to leave, Manager Qin invited them, "Would you like to continue browsing?"

“We…we want to see everything!” Henry replied eagerly.

"Alright, then you should take a look over there. Those are all the top-quality goods in our shop," Manager Qin said, pointing to the merchandise on the other side.

Manager Qin led them to the goods area he had mentioned. The goods here were indeed considered relatively high-end by the standards of people in this world.

They followed Manager Qin to the shelves, where they were immediately drawn to the items: square bars of pleasantly scented soap, brightly colored lipsticks, face creams in porcelain bottles, and even shampoos for washing hair... The dazzling array of novel items left them speechless with amazement.

They had hardly ever seen any of the products here before, and didn't know what they were. The group of them were like curious children, finding this unfamiliar and that novel.

It was either one person holding up an item and asking Henry what it was, or another person holding something and asking Henry what it was. It was more novel to them than women browsing in a shop; they wanted to buy everything there.

……

The next morning, the sky was bright.

Inside the Chenfeng Courtyard of Prince Jing's residence, there was none of the usual early morning activity. The prince was not seen going to the morning court, nor was the princess practicing her martial arts in the courtyard.

Chu Chenjing and Ouyang Yunyao slept until the sun was high in the sky.

Perhaps because they had been busy and tired these past few days, and because Chu Chenjing had been clinging to her so tightly last night, Ouyang Yunyao was still fast asleep.

Sunlight streamed through the window lattice, through the sheer curtains, and fell upon the two people sleeping peacefully in each other's arms on the golden nanmu bed.

Ouyang Yunyao's eyelashes trembled slightly, and the soreness all over her body made her unconsciously furrow her brows. She closed her eyes for a while to recover before lazily opening them.

The moment I opened my eyes, I was met with a pair of smiling eyes.

She thought she was still half asleep, so she rubbed her eyes. She wasn't mistaken; it really was Chu Chenjing lying next to her, staring at her intently.

She looked at him with some surprise: "Ah Jing, don't you have to attend court today?"

In fact, Chu Chenjing had already woken up, but seeing that she was sleeping soundly, he couldn't bear to disturb her, so he just lay there quietly, looking at her tenderly.

When she asked, he raised his hand to brush away the stray hairs from her forehead and said gently, "I asked my father for leave yesterday, and I'll accompany you back to the General's Mansion today."

"Mmm," Ouyang Yunyao said lazily, a smile playing on her lips. "My husband, you're so good to me!"

Looking at her alluring eyes after she woke up, Chu Chenjing felt a surge of warmth in his heart. As soon as she finished speaking, he couldn't help but lean down and hug her tightly, his warm lips covering hers.

After lingering for a while, he barely managed to suppress the urge that surged up again and considerately released the person in his arms.

He knew how reckless he had been last night, and that he had already exhausted her. He couldn't bear to let her suffer any more now.

Seeing his restrained demeanor, and considering her own aching back and sore waist while he remained energetic, Ouyang Yunyao's eyes darted around and she gave a sly smile.

She raised her jade-like arm and hooked it around his neck, giving him a bewitching smile like a fairy, her allure overflowing. Then, she leaned down and gently bit his lips, her warm breath brushing against his ear as she whispered, "Ah Jing, this is how it should be."

Before Chu Chenjing could react, Ouyang Yunyao quickly slipped off the bed, turning back to give him a playful eyebrow raise. This bold teasing left Chu Chenjing shaking his head, both amused and exasperated.
