Chapter 131 Take a walk on the streets
As soon as Ling Xiyue got off the carriage, she became excited and walked straight to the street excitedly.
He Tingxi wanted to say something more to Shi Hui and the others, but when he saw that Ling Xiyue was no longer beside him, he had no choice but to tell Shi Hui and the others, "Just wait here."
"Yes."
After He Tingxi finished speaking, he quickly caught up with Ling Xiyue, holding Ling Xiyue's hand, fearing that they would get lost.
Along the way, because Ling Xiyue and her friends were dressed in ordinary clothes, no one on the street paid any attention to them. Even when they walked up to a street vendor's stall to choose items, the stall owners thought they couldn't afford them and ignored them.
However, Ling Xiyue didn't care about it. Instead, she was happy and comfortable.
Ling Xiyue looked at the small items at several stalls, but didn't like any of them until she walked to a stall.
I was instantly attracted by a bracelet.
She picked it up and studied it carefully with great interest.
It is a silver bracelet with patterns of small plum blossoms all over it.
Ling Xiyue liked it very much. She looked at the stall owner and asked, "Boss, how much silver does this bracelet cost?"
The stall owner looked at Ling Xiyue and He Tingxi. Seeing that they were dressed in coarse cloth, he said with disdain, "This bracelet is made of pure silver. Madam, I'm afraid you can't afford it."
Ling Xiyue was so excited when she heard the word pure silver that she completely ignored her boss's tone.
"Is it pure silver? I was just worried that it was silver-plated. How much? Just tell me."
He Tingxi was displeased when he saw the stall owner's self-righteous attitude. He whispered to Ling Xiyue, "Xiyue, let's go. If you want the bracelet, go back home and I'll give you ten."
But Ling Xiyue only had eyes for the plum blossom bracelet, and she shook her head.
“I like this bracelet.”
After that, she continued to ask: "Boss, how much is it?"
Seeing Ling Xiyue asking persistently, the stall owner had to respond impatiently.
"Although this bracelet weighs only one tael of silver, its value lies in its craftsmanship. Each plum blossom is carefully crafted by craftsmen. Therefore, this bracelet costs two taels of silver. It is the most expensive one I have."
Hearing this, Ling Xiyue weighed the bracelet with her hand and nodded.
"It's indeed less than one or two taels in weight, but it's not light either. The craftsmanship is also very exquisite, and it really deserves this price. Well, two taels of silver, right? I'll give it to you." Ling Xiyue said generously.
Then she took off her purse and tried to take out the silver.
At this time, He Tingxi stopped him and took the initiative to hand the silver to the stall owner.
"Boss, take it."
When the stall owner saw the silver in He Tingxi's hand, he was stunned for a moment before taking the silver.
"Thank you, sir."
The stall owner immediately responded with a smile, and asked Ling Xiyue in a gentle tone, "Madam, do you want a box to put the bracelet in?"
Seeing the stall owner's expression change quickly, Ling Xiyue was speechless, but she didn't say much, just shook her head.
"No, I have plenty at home."
"Yes."
Ling Xiyue took the bracelet, put away the purse, and said to He Tingxi, "Let's go."
"it is good."
Ling Xiyue left the stall and continued walking forward, with He Tingxi by her side.
"Take care." Seeing this, the stall owner did not forget to be polite.
"The stall owner's expression changed so quickly when he saw the silver." He Tingxi complained as he thought of the stall owner's expression.
"It's normal. We are wearing coarse cloth clothes now. He must think we can't afford it." Ling Xiyue said indifferently, and then she handed the bracelet to He Tingxi.
"Put it on for me."
"Okay." He Tingxi took it, stopped, and put the bracelet on Ling Xiyue's right wrist.
After putting it on, he admired it carefully and said with a smile: "It's quite nice. You have good taste."
Ling Xiyue also looked at the bracelet on her wrist. She smiled and said, "Of course, my taste is not bad."
"Xiyue, if you want to buy jewelry, you can go to a jewelry store. They have all kinds of styles, and the quality is guaranteed. There will never be any adulteration." He Tingxi advised.
Ling Xiyue continued to walk forward, smiling and shaking her head.
"I know, but I didn't come here to buy jewelry today. I just happened to like this bracelet. Isn't there a saying that goes, you can't ask for it if you encounter it? Now that I have found it, how can I miss it? I don't care where it is for sale, I only care whether I like it."
He Tingxi also followed Ling Xiyue and walked forward. He was a little surprised by what Ling Xiyue said.
"You said you don't care where it is sold, you only care whether you like it? Can I understand that if you like someone, you don't care about his or her background?"
"Yes, that's right." Ling Xiyue answered without hesitation.
He Tingxi was overjoyed. He smiled and asked, "So, you like me for who I am, not for my status, right?"
Ling Xiyue was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then she smiled and said, "Is this important?"
"Of course it's important. Tell me, do you like me personally?" He Tingxi looked at Ling Xiyue expectantly.
Ling Xiyue suddenly didn't know how to respond, and she hesitated.
Seeing Ling Xiyue's indecisive look, He Tingxi was very disappointed and his face was depressed.
"You're silent. Does that mean you deny it?"
When Ling Xiyue saw He Tingxi's gloomy face, she hurriedly explained.
"How should I put this? Because when I met you, I already knew that you were a prince. If I said that I liked you not because of your status, wouldn't you think it was fake?"
He Tingxi was stunned for a moment, then he felt it made sense and nodded.
"It seems so."
"But I can be sure that no matter what your identity is in the future, it will not affect my love for you." Ling Xiyue comforted.
He Tingxi was immediately delighted and excited.
When he stretched out his hand and wanted to hug Ling Xiyue, he realized that they were on the street and there were many people around them.
He had no choice but to put his hands down, but he felt uncomfortable if he didn't do anything.
So he put Ling Xiyue's hand in front of his mouth and gave her a deep kiss.
"I knew you liked me very much."
Ling Xiyue was speechless when she saw He Tingxi kissing the back of her hand. She felt that He Tingxi was just like a child at this moment and could be very happy if she just coaxed him.
"Tingxi, put your hands down. It would be embarrassing if others saw them." Ling Xiyue advised.
He Tingxi then let go of Ling Xiyue's hand, but he still held it tightly and didn't want to let go at all.
After walking for a while, Ling Xiyue saw a ring-tossing stall in front of her, and she immediately became interested.
"Tingxi, I'm going to put the ring on."
"Okay." He Tingxi agreed readily.
When she arrived at the stall, Ling Xiyue took the initiative to ask the stall owner, "Boss, how do I play the ring toss? How much does it cost?"
"30 cents for 10 bamboo rings." When the stall owner saw that there was business coming, he hurried forward to greet them.
"Then give me 10 bamboo rings first." Ling Xiyue took out some change from her purse and handed it to the stall owner.
