Chapter 32: There is a Fake Her in the City?
Shengli and Xing reached the merchants street and got to the ’Eternal Spring Clothing Store’ within half an hour. Xing wondered how she couldn’t find it for half a day before.
I really shouldn’t wander alone, she thought.
The store was big and had many colours and different kinds of silk and linens which Xing didn’t care about. They entered the inner room and was greeted by Haru.
" Not even a month and you’ve grown taller", he hugged her and she patted his back. In fact she had grown a bit, now the top of her head reached above Shengli’s shoulders. She asked for Shurei and found her in the storage basement making embroidery. Somehow Xing got reminded of her mother, seeing Shurei like that. She gave her a hairpin as a wedding present. Soon Shengli and Haru joined them.
" So how are you doing, ’Princess’ ? ", Haru asked with a grin.
" Yeah, it turned out like this", she placed her chin on her hands.
"Only you would feel this way, being rich, stupid Xing ", he laughed and she smiled.
Only Haru could call her stupid in this whole world, Xing really missed him calling her stupid.
" You would need clothes for the royal banquet in a week right? I’ll send it to you ", he added.
" Then prepare those palace robes in my new size. Also make some new men’s clothes for me".
" Your father already placed an order for a dress for you before", Haru said.
"Make sure my order is fulfilled first", Xing frowned. The thought of wearing all those heavy silk clothes made her uneasy.
