The merchant from the Wu Kingdom looked at him and said with a smile, "Sir, you are not an ordinary person at first glance. Whether it belongs to the royal family or not, you will know when you take a closer look."
Li Yi could see that this hairpin was not an ordinary one.
Except for the queen of a country, it was a big crime for anyone to use a phoenix hairpin. Few people had the guts to forge this hairpin and sell it. Judging from the texture and the fine workmanship, it did seem to belong to the royal family.
Seeing his expression, the merchant from the Wu Kingdom was delighted and asked, "Young Master, is it worth it to buy this hairpin for 1,000 taels of silver?"
Li Yi glanced at him and put away the hairpin, saying, "Didn't you say 498 taels of silver just now? I will give you another 200 taels of silver. So I want this hairpin for 500 taels of silver."
"Sir, this..." The merchant from the Wu Kingdom looked depressed. He really shouldn't have said those words just now. The official obviously didn't want to buy it. He shouted for nothing, but now 500 taels of silver flew away just like that...
However, he also knew that it was not easy to sell this thing. It was a profit to have 500 taels of silver. He could only nod helplessly and said with his teeth clenched, "500 taels of silver it is, okay!"
Behind Li Yi, the woman just now looked at him and curled her lips, saying, "500 taels of silver for such a fake. Are you stupid..."
The merchant from the Wu Kingdom was furious. He looked at her and said loudly, "What fake? Do you think this Young Master is as ignorant as you are?"
When the woman was about to speak, she found that the man next to her suddenly pulled her arm.
Before she could ask anything, she saw her husband's legs go soft and he knelt down.
The official looked pale. Looking at the young man in front of him, he said in a trembling voice, "Greetings, Your Highness Gyeong Of Silla. I didn't know Your Highness and offended you. Please forgive me, Your Highness!"
"Jing, Your Highness Gyeong Of Silla!"
Hearing that, the woman's face turned pale and she also knelt down with her husband.
As for the merchant from the Wu Kingdom, when he knew that the person in front of him was the famous His Highness Gyeong Of Silla, he was stunned and his body trembled.
"Where, where?"
"His Highness Gyeong Of Silla, where is His Highness?"
"I haven't seen what His Highness looks like!"
…
"I'll pay for the hairpin at the Gyeong Of Silla's residence."
Seeing that there was already a commotion on the street, Li Yi glanced at the businessman from the Wu Kingdom. With one hand holding Ruyi and the other hand holding Ruoqing, they quickly disappeared into the alley ahead.
At first, he was the one pulling Ruyi and Ruoqing as they ran. Later, Ruyi was the one carrying them on each side as they flew in the sky.
Only then did he get rid of the people of Yong County who were rushing over from all directions.
He flew back to the Gyeong Of Silla Mansion and sat in the small courtyard. He took a long time to calm down.
In his previous life, he had only seen such a scene when he passed by an airport and saw the fans of a certain A-list celebrity welcoming him.
He didn't expect that he would have such a day. It seemed that practicing martial arts was the right choice. If he didn't have the ability to fly in the sky, he might not be able to resist these fans.
In addition, he had to urge Ruoqing to practice martial arts, especially to practice Lightness Skill. The Holy Religion had 100,000 followers in the Qi Kingdom. Thinking of the scene, he was a little scared.
Only the Queen who could fly could control the scene.
After drinking a cup of the new cocktail developed by Xiao Zhu yesterday, he took out the hairpin he had just bought.
Li Yi was very familiar with the palace. Therefore, when he saw the hairpin at first sight, he knew it was not an ordinary thing.
But he didn't expect that it was worn by Empress Wende before she died.
Empress Wende was the former Empress of the Wu Kingdom. After the current Emperor of the Wu Kingdom killed his brother and father, she committed suicide.
Now he was sure that Yangliuqing was the princess of the Wu Kingdom. After the Emperor of the Wu Kingdom usurped the throne, she fled the palace. Then this Empress Wende must be Yangliuqing's mother.
Since he saw it, he naturally had to help her put away Empress Wende's belongings. He would return them to her when he saw them in the future.
Several months ago, the news about Yangliuqing was directly cut off.
Of course, it wasn't because something had happened to her. It was just that the Wu Kingdom was now full of heroes and chaos. The imperial court wanted to get rid of these people as soon as possible. She was the most important person to pay attention to. If she didn't hide her trace, the imperial court would definitely encircle her.
Whether it was the Liu League or the brothel, they had no sources in the Wu Kingdom. Even the imperial court of the Wu Kingdom couldn't find Yangliuqing. Of course, it was impossible for Li Yi to find her himself.
Recently, Miss.Liu didn't mention going to the Wu Kingdom. The Liu League needed to take root in Shuzhou again. As the League Leader, she had to deal with many things in person.
Of course, more importantly, even if the two of them and the whole Liu League joined forces, they still couldn't compete with a country.
Today, Miss.Liu had already changed her rash temperament. Except for taking action when she disagreed with him, she didn't have that kind of irrational impulse anymore.
In retrospect, she had really changed a lot in the past few years. But the biggest change was reflected in her cooking skills.
A woman changed eighteen times before she grew up, and a fairy fell to the mortal world.
Two years ago, looking at the chicken pieces that she burned into charcoal, he would never have imagined that one day he would miss the dishes cooked by Miss.Liu.
Fang poked his head out of the door and said, "Young master, there's someone outside. He said that you bought the hairpin from him and didn't pay for it …"
Coincidentally, he still had some details to ask the merchant from the Wu Kingdom. In case he made a mistake in the future, Li Yi turned his head and said, "Let him in."
After a while, the merchant from the Wu Kingdom walked over with fear and trepidation. He bowed respectfully and said, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."
At this moment, he was a little nervous. If the person who bought his hairpin was not His Highness Gyeong Of Silla, who was praised by everyone in Shuzhou, he would never dare to come to the Prince's Mansion to ask for money.
He wanted to take the money and leave, but he didn't expect that he would be summoned by Gyeong Of Silla …
Li Yi looked at him and said casually, "You really dare to come here?"
Plop!
The merchant from the Wu Kingdom turned pale. His legs gave way and he knelt on the ground, crying, "Your Highness, I don't want the money anymore. That hairpin is a gift from me. Your Highness, please spare my life. Please spare my life!"
"Who wants your life?" Li Yi looked at him and said, "Stand up and talk. Let me ask you, since this hairpin is a relic of Empress Wende, why do you have it?"
The merchant from the Wu Kingdom saw that Gyeong Of Silla didn't seem to be angry, but he didn't stand up. He knelt on the ground and said carefully, "Your Highness, this hairpin was secretly taken out by one of Empress Wende's personal palace maids after she committed suicide. In the Wu Kingdom, no one dares to touch it. It changed hands several times and came to me. I thought that I might be able to sell it in Shuzhou …"
Li Yi asked a few more questions, and the merchant from the Wu Kingdom answered without any hesitation or pause. He didn't seem to be lying. Moreover, with his eyesight, he was sure that this phoenix hairpin was a relic of Yangliuqing's mother.
"All right, you can leave." Li Yi looked at Fang and said, "Give him a thousand taels of silver."
The merchant from the Wu Kingdom was stunned and said quickly, "Your Highness, did you remember wrong? It's five hundred taels …"
Li Yi waved his hand and said, "Then give him five hundred taels of silver."
"…"
The merchant from the Wu Kingdom didn't look at his palm until he walked out of the Gyeong Of Silla's Mansion. Suddenly, he raised his hand and slapped himself hard in the face.
…
In the small courtyard, Li Yi held the hairpin and carefully looked at it. Fang ran in again and said loudly, "Young master, there's a letter from the capital!"
Putting the matter of the hairpin aside, Li Yi opened the letters that had just been delivered by the courier station.
Every month, he would send a few letters to the capital, and he would receive a few of them.
He opened the first letter first. It was written by the old granny. She only told him about the current situation of the Li family in the capital. Everything was fine and she told him not to worry. She mentioned that Shuzhou was remote and chaotic, and she warned him to be careful when he was outside …
Then, she asked about Ruyi, Ruoqing, Zuimo, and the others. She even asked about Xiao Huan and Ruyi. After asking about her baby great-grandson, she told him that they should quickly spread the branches of the Li family. In her lifetime, she still wanted to hold a few more great-grandchildren.
And Ruyi, Ruoqing, Zuimo, Ruyi, and Xiao Huan to spread the branches of the Li family. After all, the old granny was old and muddle-headed. She didn't even notice that something terrible had been mixed in …
