Chapter 650 - 269 Goodbye Guan Jingshuo
Yueyao left the Royal Mansion and got into her carriage.
Xiang Wei said with a smile, "Miss, a painting for one thousand taels of silver, the people of the Capital City must think you have gone mad for money." Even the master painters price their works at around that amount.
Of course, Xiang Wei knew that Yueyao’s paintings were worth that money, but others didn’t! They just thought Yueyao had gone crazy with greed.
Yueyao smiled and said, "If they think I’m mad, so be it. After this gets out, I’ll tell everyone that I only paint three paintings a year, and no more." Yueyao also hoped to have Princess Consort Duan set this price for her. In the future, no one would offer less, and she didn’t want to paint Buddhas for others every day, so she had to set a limit.
Xiang Wei laughed heartily. "Indeed, your paintings will soon be hard to find." Everyone loves to chase after rarities. Yueyao had raised her own status high, and more people were rushing to offer money for her paintings.
After leaving the scope of the Royal Mansion, Xiang Wei told the outside, "To East Street, the lady wants to buy some books." It was also an opportunity to go out without arousing suspicion.
The carriage soon reached the bookstore where Yueyao and Guan Jingshuo had agreed to meet. Yueyao put on her Veil Cap, while Xiang Wei accompanied her into the bookstore, leaving Xi Yu in the carriage. It wasn’t that Yueyao didn’t trust Xi Yu, she just felt that Xi Yu should not be involved in this matter.
There were no customers in the bookstore at this moment. Yueyao had picked out a few books when a young servant came out from inside. Yueyao smiled at the young servant; this servant was a follower of Guan Jingshuo, seemingly called Heping.
The young servant glanced at Yueyao and said, "Miss, please follow me. Your books are inside." Initially, Heping thought Yueyao had schemes towards their Heir Apparent, but over the years, as the Heir’s health greatly improved, he was just grateful.
Yueyao, accompanied by Xiang Wei, walked inside and turned a corner into a small room where Guan Jingshuo was waiting.
Guan Jingshuo was wearing a purple-red brocade robe with drawn silk and python patterns today. His already gorgeous appearance was enhanced, making him look even more beautiful than a woman, adding an air of enchantment.
Xiang Wei couldn’t help but take a few extra glances.
